| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
My research project aimed at analyzing gender related discourses represented in novels, poems, letters, sketches, and journals written before, during, and after the civil war in America, and clarifying how the confusion of the public order caused by the war influences the gender norms. Focusing mainly on the works of Louisa May Alcott, sometimes comparing them with those of Herman Melville and Walt Whitman, I argued the diviation from female gender roles and feminization of the war in _Hospital Sketches_, and the elements of the civil war romance in her sensational novel, _Behind a Mask_.
