Item Dickens as a historian(Southern New Hampshire University, 2015) Holland, Elizabeth; Martino, AndrewCharles Dickens is universally noted as one of the most influential British authors of the nineteenth century. During his career he published a number of works that are today recognized as classics. Each of Dickens most well-loved novels works to criticize the social constructs and issues of London during the nineteenth century. These satirical and brutally honest commentaries on society allowed him to “maintain popularity with the public throughout all phases of his career” (Harris 157). Dickens housed much of his inspiration for his work within the city of London itself. Each of his novels he zoned in on the successes and failures that the city was undergoing. This essay works to explain Dickens’ role in creating a historically accurate representation of nineteenth century London through his novels Bleak House, Great Expectations and Oliver Twist.

The main objective of this initiative is to create a positive difference whether it be informing students of the current policy or changing it to adapt to the needs of the community. Conducting action research such as a student survey, information interviews, and literature reviews including guides from other colleges and universities in the United States, will be vital in determining whether a tobacco-free campus would be beneficial at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) or not. By being the Student Representative of the Safety Committee, creating a display for Kick Butts Day in March, writing to the school newspaper, communicating with Student Government Association (SGA), and putting an end to the cigarette butt waste on campus, I hope to gain a better understanding of the attitudes and opinions of the community. If the majority of the SNHU community is in favor of having a tobacco-free campus, I will initiate the necessary steps to create a positive change. (Author abstract)Item The long walk home : V.S. Naipaul and the narration of home(Ege University Depts. of British and American Studies, 2005) Martino, AndrewThe topic of this paper is to explore Naipaul’s juxtaposition of the narratives of India he heard while growing up with that of his first visit to India as recounted in An Area of Darkness. Ultimately, Naipaul discovers that the notions of India (in family lore and physically) are incompatible. Furthermore, this paper argues that home for Naipaul exists within his writing and not in a geographically specific place such as Trinidad, India, or England.Item The misplaced I: Il fu Mattia Pascal and the spectrality of identity(The Pirandello Society of America, 2007) Martino, AndrewItem The monthly journal of the Vice President for Academic Affairs [Dec. 2010](Southern New Hampshire University, 2010-12-13T21:04:57Z) Gomez, Mayra; Lynott, Patricia A.; Schragle-Law, Susan; Perry, Katie; Martino, AndrewItem Provost monthly newsletter [Oct. 2016](Southern New Hampshire University, 2016-10) Martel, Dan; Lynott, Patricia A.; Institutional Advancement; Martel, Dan; Shreeves, Michelle; Goddard, Lindsey; Baressi, Paul A.; Martino, AndrewItem The vanishing point : the dis-integration of female identity in Paul Bowles’s The Sheltering Sky(South Atlantic Review, 2006) Martino, AndrewThis essay offers a meditation on the dis-integration of female identity as depicted in the third and final section of Paul Bowles’s 1949 novel, The Sheltering Sky.
