The Prophetic Imagination Of P. B. Shelley, Andrew O. Winckles
The Prophetic Imagination Of P. B. Shelley, Andrew O. Winckles
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
In his “Defence of Poetry,” Shelley claims, “Poets… were called in the earlier epochs of the world legislators or prophets.” As such, even a cursory glance at Shelley’s poetry and political beliefs reveals an interest in what is wrong with the world, how to fix it, and what will happen if no action is taken. However, current studies fail to fully assess what makes up the prophetic imagination. They confine discussions of Romantic prophecy to discussions of prophetic inspiration, futurity, and rhetoric – divorcing the work from its impetus for social change. The prophetic imagination, as utilized by Shelley, is …
Language, Emotion, And Imagination: Constructing Human Identity Through Hemingway's Work, Gorka Diaz
Language, Emotion, And Imagination: Constructing Human Identity Through Hemingway's Work, Gorka Diaz
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
This thesis examines how Hemingway’s use of language evokes emotions in his stories and how his particular way of evoking emotions affects readers.

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
In this project, I consider four exempla from Robert Mannyng of Brunne’s Handlyng Synne: “The Tale of the Bloody Child,” “The Tale of the Sacrilegious Carolers of Colbek,” “The Tale of the Midwife Who Christened the Child Wrongly,” and “St. Gregory’s Tale of the Nun Who Spoke Naughty Words.” I read these exempla through the theoretical texts of Georges Bataille, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, and Mary Douglas, as well as others, and conclude that speech acts, whether deviant or sanctioned, make identity at any level (de)constructable. I hope to show that while this is particularly noticeable against the historical …
