The Hospitality of Punctuation: A History of the Exclamation Mark in Poetry, with Special Attention to Modernist Practice and the Gendered Politics of Punctuation
A practitioner-scholar study of the exclamation mark as a site of gendered power in literary history — from medieval manuscripts and the King James Bible through Modernist practice to contemporary feminist poetics. The dissertation introduces a three-strategy taxonomy (the Marian Hedge, the Godiva Declaration, and the Negotiated Threshold) to analyze how women poets have historically navigated cultural prohibitions against public exclamation. The creative component is GODIVA, a full poetry collection.
