Cronley : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

Cronley was created as a means to bring together my studies in both Creative Writing and History by employing elements of both into one novella length piece. The setting and the mythological background of the story have been fully researched to try and provide for authenticity in the sometimes-unbelievable subject matter presented. The information that would not be known to the typical lay reader is then presented in as clear and orderly a manner as possible without having the story taking on the form of a history lecture. In this way the reader is both given the enjoyment of an interesting story, but is also educated in the legends and folklore that this work draws from.
