Ph.D thesis abstract on Anne Rice's novels

Call this an experiment for me. This video has within it the abstract from my Ph.D. thesis, entitled "Hell's Bells Calling: Salvation and Saving, Mourning and Memory in the Canon of Anne Rice".

Now that the oral defence is finished, I want to get it published, but in the mean time I thought it would be fun to put it up on YouTube. Besides, I wanted to see if I could actually make it work.

The images and music are not mine, but the words are. Please to do not quote or reprint without permission from me. If you do, I'll ask Lestat to hunt you down! LOL!!

the text scrolls far too slowly, I'd prefer a website where I could just read it.

I realize it's pretty slow, but I know that some people don't read as fast as others.  (I'm pretty quick, but that's just me.) So, in order to make sure that everyone could read it, I decided to make it scroll slowly. I don't actually have a website, which I know puts me in the minority, but it's something I don't really have the time to put into.

hmm interesting. I love Ricean concepts and am obsessed with redemption n so on. u actually grad in lit?

[DevoVamp]

Yes, I did a PhD in literature from the University of Bristol. Hhehe, I spent seven years writting and thinking about my favourite author; I feel like I got away with something somehow!! (Actually, it really was a heck of a lot of work! I wrote a lot and read heaps that never made it into the final thesis.)

I really enjoyed this. I had thought of some of these things on my own,instinctivly, but was unable to state them so clearly and back them up from a base of knowledge.

[DevoVamp]

Thanks so much!! I'm still looking to get it published, but it waiting to hear from agents or publishers is enough to drive a person nuts!!

lol, even though it's just an abstract, it seems amateurish and poorly written. And why was the page scrawl going at a snail's pace?... Do you honestly think people read that slowly?

[GalacticPrincess]

Did you know that Anne Rice herself has linked your video to her facebook page? Congrats!!!!

[SEHarpz]

I hope you get this published. Good luck! I would love to read the entire thesis. I would also love to speak with you about Anne Rice and her works. I start college in the Fall and am thinking of studying literature. :)

I wish i had a person like you near me to discuss the work of Mrs. Rice. I share a lot of your toughts on it. And would love to read your entire paper.
