Foibles, Follies And Fantastic Occurrences: First-Time Teaching And The Composition Classroom, Susan Swanson
Foibles, Follies And Fantastic Occurrences: First-Time Teaching And The Composition Classroom, Susan Swanson
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Foibles, Follies and Fantastic Occurrences: First-time Teaching and the Composition Classroom explores incidents that expectedly—and often, unexpectedly—occur in any instructor's classroom, but especially focuses on the first-time instructor. Following the author's journey from graduate student to graduate assistant to teaching assistant, the thesis describes the steps along the way to teaching that many who have written about the subject leave out—how to negotiate the days before classes begin, what to do to appear older than the students themselves, how to create an interesting and creative syllabus. Once classes begin, instances involving student competition, peer review, responding to student essays and …
Museum-Making In Women's Poetry: How Sylvia Plath And Emily Dickinson Confront The Time Of History, Margaret Brown
Museum-Making In Women's Poetry: How Sylvia Plath And Emily Dickinson Confront The Time Of History, Margaret Brown
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
In The Newly Born Woman, Helene Cixous and Catherine Clement note that Michelet and Freud "both thought that the repressed past survives in woman; woman, more than anyone else, is dedicated to reminiscence" (5). Whether or not this is true of woman, that expectation of her—as keeper of the past—has perhaps subsisted in the deepest realms of the collective unconscious. From the work of Cixous and Clement, Julia Kristeva and Angela Leighton, I ultimately deduce that there are two perceptions of time: man's time has been associated with the straight, the linear, the historical, and the prosaic; woman's time has …
How To Tell A Story: Mark Twain And The Short Story Genre, Richard Simpson
How To Tell A Story: Mark Twain And The Short Story Genre, Richard Simpson
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study examines the short fiction of Mark Twain in relation to major theories concerning the short story genre. Despite his popularity as a novelist and historical figure, Twain has not been recognized as a major figure in the development of the short story genre. This study attempts to show that the short fiction produced by Twain deserves greater regard within studies specific to the short story, and calls for a reconsideration of Twain as a dynamic figure in the development of the genre. The introductory chapter lays the groundwork for understanding how the short story genre has developed since …
Boethian Colorings In Geoffrey Chaucer's Earlier Poetry: The Book Of The Duchess, The Parliament Of Fowls And The House Of Fame, Morgen Lamson
Boethian Colorings In Geoffrey Chaucer's Earlier Poetry: The Book Of The Duchess, The Parliament Of Fowls And The House Of Fame, Morgen Lamson
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
There has been much written on Boethius and his impact on Chaucer's greater known works, such as The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde, yet there has not been much light shone on his other works, namely The Book of the Duchess, The Parliament of Fowls, and The House of Fame, which are a rich mix of medieval conventions and Boethian elements and themes. Such ideas have been explored through the lenses of his five, shorter "Boethian lyrics" - "The Former Age," "Fortune," "Truth," "Gentilesse," and "Lak of Stedfastnesse" - particularly because it is within these five poems that the …
Voices I Have Heard, Rosemarie Wurth-Grise
Voices I Have Heard, Rosemarie Wurth-Grise
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The poems in this thesis are an exploration of how two worlds can exist at once. The first world is the physical world as we perceive it through our senses and experience it through living. It is a cyclical world that begins with childhood, and moves toward adulthood, parenthood and death. In this world we go about the act of living. Yet it is in the second world, a more metaphysical one, that we are most alive. We often gain our knowledge of this world through observing and experiencing the natural world. It is a place in which we discover …
Five Words When Ten Seem Necessary: A Memoir In Brevities, Rebecca Hazelwood
Five Words When Ten Seem Necessary: A Memoir In Brevities, Rebecca Hazelwood
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
This is a memoir: fourteen stories on the naked page. There is an element of the concise, the succinct, in brevities that I like, a perfection of five words when ten seem necessary. For here I am a sex kitten on a mission trip, vexed with the haters, the teetotalers, and the wine patrollers. And here I am cubic zirconium next to a diamond, awed by thin tall gorgeous Jen. It is also here that I invent a not boyfriend with a penchant for plaid and here that I know about moonshine and whiskey hidden in Old Crow statues. I …

Observations On Robert Penn Warren’S “The Day Dr. Knox Did It”, James A. Perkins
Observations On Robert Penn Warren’S “The Day Dr. Knox Did It”, James A. Perkins
Robert Penn Warren Studies
“The Day Dr. Knox Did It” may be read as Warren’s artistic response to the suicide of Ernest Hemingway. The poem repeats an important motif from Warren’s second, unpublished and untitled novel, written in the 1930’s. It also contains some interesting correspondences—and equally important contrasts—to the work of Ernest Hemingway, especially the short story “Indian Camp.”

Raised In The Briar Patch: Misreading Warren’S Essay On Race, Leverett Butts
Raised In The Briar Patch: Misreading Warren’S Essay On Race, Leverett Butts
Robert Penn Warren Studies
As human beings, we are prone to all sorts of misreadings: of literary works, of others, of ourselves. This scholarly and personal visit to “The Briar Patch” reveals a younger Warren subtly, perhaps even unconsciously, advocating integration in a world that in the 1920’s was not (and some might say still isn’t) ready to accept full equality.

Narrator Myopia In “Goodwood Comes Back”, Bill Mccarron, Paul Knoke
Narrator Myopia In “Goodwood Comes Back”, Bill Mccarron, Paul Knoke
Robert Penn Warren Studies
In “Goodwood Comes Back,” Warren creates an emotionally myopic narrator whose inability to see Goodwood for who he really is ironically points to the fact that, however short-lived, Goodwood’s personal comeback has been as triumphant as his foray into baseball. The contrast between Goodwood’s intimate knowledge of baseball and the narrator’s ignorance of the game sets the narrator up as a foil to Goodwood. His limitations only serve to highlight Goodwood’s accomplishments.
“The Deepest And Widest Metaphor For Life” Re-Visions Of Christian Faith In Robert Penn Warren’S Later Poetry, Nicole Camastra
“The Deepest And Widest Metaphor For Life” Re-Visions Of Christian Faith In Robert Penn Warren’S Later Poetry, Nicole Camastra
Robert Penn Warren Studies
While it would be foolish to assert that Warren was a committed Christian and unequivocal believer, a kind of tempered faith does exist in some of Warren’s poems from Now and Then: Poems 1976-1978. Manuscript revisions of “Amazing Grace in the Back Country” and “Heart of the Backlog” reveal Warren’s struggle to find faith, not his conviction of living in it. However, “Heart of Autumn,” the final poem in the volume, points to the conscious act of surrendering to the depth of theistic conflict in its preceding counterparts.
Cass Mastern, Josiah Royce, And The Envelope Of Responsibility, Joseph Wensink
Cass Mastern, Josiah Royce, And The Envelope Of Responsibility, Joseph Wensink
Robert Penn Warren Studies
In Warren’s All the King’s Men, Jack’s ultimate reconciliation does not come, as most readers see it, from learning to accept full responsibility for his actions where he formerly had none, but rather from his ability to define for himself, through his historical researches and creation of iconic “images,” a clear picture of the boundaries of his responsibility—its burdens as well as its limits. This envelope of responsibility is for Warren thoroughly historical—and envelope whose contours change through time, crucially dependent upon the narration of past events in the present. Jack’s “brass-bound idealism” is, despite his sarcasm, a quite sophisticated …
The Editing Of Jack Burden, Nathan Snow
The Editing Of Jack Burden, Nathan Snow
Robert Penn Warren Studies
In comparing Jack Burden as narrator in the 1946 version of All the King’s Men to Jack Burden as narrator in Noel Polk’s 2001 Restored Edition of the novel, the originally published Jack Burden emerges as the better narrator, and the 1946 version is the better for it. Warren’s original editor, Lambert Davis, deserves some of the credit for this improvement.
