Alyssa's Current Research Questions

I’m working on connecting the portrayals of Judith and Dr. Faustus in the Old English poem Judith and the Renaissance play Doctor Faustus to the superhero propaganda during World War II. I will probably argue that the superhero and supervillain archetypes are more effective as a means of dividing, rather than uniting, a people.


Questions:
  • Where can I locate pamphlets or periodicals that reference Protestant or Catholic beliefs in the 16th century?
  • Where should I look for historic interpretations of the conflict between the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings in the 10-11th centuries?
  • Where can I find literary criticism on WWII comics?
