• The Hound, the Treasure, and the Ice: Empire Undone by Its Own Terrain Environment and Empire in Victorian Detective and Sensation Fiction 

  Parchami, Shirin (Master thesis, 2025)

  This thesis explores how nature and empire collide in three well-known Victorian stories: Wilkie Collins’s The Frozen Deep and Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Sign of Four and The Hound of the Baskervilles.

  Olsen, Ole-Andreas Store (Master thesis, 2025)

This is done by connecting modern psychiatric ideas on healing, with literary theories on how and why we read. I reflect upon one of the protagonists of The Stormlight Archive named Kaladin ...

  Denne oppgaven undersøker debatten som oppstod i samfunnet og i det historiefaglige miljøet i etterkant av utgivelsen av Hva visste hjemmefronten? av Marte Michelet i 2018. I boken anklager Michelet blant annet den norske hjemmefronten for å ha mottatt tidlige varsler om de forestående jødeaksjonene i 1942, og at de ikke reagerte raskt nok og sterkt nok på disse. Michelet mener å kunne bevise at ...
