It considers Enid\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dress as a material garment upon which numerous meanings can be inscribed. The thesis argues that Elaine and Enid each demonstrate the unique role women have in relation to their objects within Camelot; while neither woman has complete control over the objects that they possess, these objects ultimately speak both for and with the women who own them. Things amass multiple meanings within the Idylls and thus allow Elaine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pearls and Enid\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dress to communicate and embark upon troubled trajectories of signification. Through paying attention to how objects resonate within the idylls in which they appear \u00e2\u20ac\u201d in terms of cultural resonance, contemporary relevance, and plot significance \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it becomes clear that Tennyson used objects to create a specific narrative of material/human relationships. If meaning can be inferred from the organization of things into texts, meaning about Elaine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pearls and Enid\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s faded dress can be found through observing the movement, loss, and recovery of these objects within Tennyson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Idylls."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:51Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Tondre, Michael"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Plavnicky, Jordan Elizabeth"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:51Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:51Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of English"},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"42 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Application/PDF"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/77515"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2016-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:52:51Z (GMT).
