11-21-07 Update: See Dr. Stephenson's essay "Time and Mortality in Dead Man's Token" here. (It is a pdf that requires Adobe Reader which may be downloaded here.) Warning: contains many spoilers!
9-28-07 Update: Dr. Stephenson presented a paper on "Accounting for Taste: from Thomas Hardy to Robin Hardy" at the Southwest Regional Conference on Christianity and Literature today. With her permission, the paper is posted here. (It is a pdf that requires Adobe Reader which may be downloaded here.)
Mimosa Summers Stephenson is Professor of English at the University of Texas at Brownsville and holds a Ph.D. in Victorian literature from Texas Technological College. She taught a year at Xiamen University in the People's Republic of China under a Fulbright Grant. Her articles (most with her husband Will Stephenson) have been published in such journals as Studies in Browning and His Circle, Studies in Scottish Literature, The Chaucer Review, The Nathaniel Hawthorne Review, and The Flannery O'Connor Bulletin.
Dr. Stephenson wrote a paper on the allegorical content of Robin's novels (particularly the Streiker Saga) which she presented at the Southwest Texas Popular Culture Association conference on February 16, 2007, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Robin, receiving a copy of this paper, was bowled over by Dr. Stephenson's insights. So the professor graciously gave us permission to post the paper here. (It is a pdf document that requires Adobe Reader to view, which you may download free here.)
Our thanks to Dr. Stephenson for her interest in Robin's little books and her consent to be our Featured Guest!
