I want to express my gratitude to Michael Joyce, Patricia Wallace, and Medbh McGuckian for their time, input, and encouragement with this project.

(Advisor's Note: This thesis was originally written using Storyspace 1.5 and this web translation was created by Michael Joyce in 2002 using Storyspace2's web export features. Clodagh's complex conceptual maps have, of course, been lost in the translation. Likewise the one-to-many links which Storyspace accomplishes easily, and which Clodagh used almost musically, have here become intermediary screens presenting a bulleted list of the multiple links leading from individual anchors. )
