Remarque's 'Weltanschauung': A Study In Fictional Dualism., Ingrid Ehrmann Gross
Remarque's 'Weltanschauung': A Study In Fictional Dualism., Ingrid Ehrmann Gross
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The objective of this study was to examine Remarque's Weltanschauung as expressed through his novels. Remarque sees the world negatively when he regards it as a whole. This all-encompassing world, the macrocosm, is defined by two basic factors: the evil side of man's nature, and the existence of death. The world, as Remarque views it, is not ruled according to a divine plan but is a world of man's own making. Because man has been unable to keep in check his tendencies for committing evil, he has brought about the events which characterize the first half of the twentieth century: …
Developing Theological Patterns In John Milton's Poetry., Terri Rae Mckinney
Developing Theological Patterns In John Milton's Poetry., Terri Rae Mckinney
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A study of John Milton's poetry reveals a pattern of developing theological concepts which in his later years result in unorthodox theological positions: ex Deo creation, mortalism, antitrinitarianism. This theology exists within the structure of free will and rests on the concept of God as Logos. Such theological conclusions as are voiced in Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained reflect Milton's vision of man's relationship to God, the nature of God and God's creation, the nature of Sin, and the means whereby man may be saved. Although unorthodox in the mainstream of seventeenth century English Protestantism on a number of doctrinal …
Origen Y Desarrollo De La Oda En La Literatura Peninsular E Hispanoamericana. (Spanish Text)., Jose Ramon Miranda
Origen Y Desarrollo De La Oda En La Literatura Peninsular E Hispanoamericana. (Spanish Text)., Jose Ramon Miranda
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
El proposito de este trabajo ha sido el de dar una vision de conjunto de la oda, desde que aparece en la literatura espanola hasta el Modernismo. Para ello se investigo el termino extensamente en discursos, cartas, artes poeticas y diccionarios. Se ha llegado a la conclusion de que ha sido imposible para los eruditos el redactar una definicion que comprenda todos los tipos de odas, por la distinta tematica de las anacreonticas. En lo que respecta a las clasificaciones, desde que aparecio la primera a fines del siglo XVIII, se han registrado pocas diferencias en ellas. El uso estrofico …
The Forgiving Landscape: The Poetry Of William Stafford., Malovika Mukerji
The Forgiving Landscape: The Poetry Of William Stafford., Malovika Mukerji
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
There is a wholeness and a sanity in William Stafford's vision that arises out of his allegiance to the authentic elements of our experience. These elements include the vital but continually imperiled wilderness, the human landscape of the past comprised of family, friends, and lovers, and the eternal and inescapable rhythms of time, death, mutability, and terror. In his own words, Stafford is seeking to embody in his work "the unanalyzed impressions of holiness" that the world thrusts at him. By temperament and by choice, Stafford is alienated from the so-called confessional school of poetry. Instead, he writes in the …
Indigenism And Feminism In The Prose Fiction Of Rosario Castellanos., George Alexander St. John Robinson
Indigenism And Feminism In The Prose Fiction Of Rosario Castellanos., George Alexander St. John Robinson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The novel of Indian concern has had a long vogue in Latin America, where it is known alternately as novela indianista or novela indigenista. This tradition in the novel has produced such well known works as Lopez y Fuentes' El indio, Alcides Arguedas' Raza de bronce, Jorge Icaza's Huasipungo and Ciro Alegr(')ia's El mundo es ancho y ajeno, all published between 1919 and 1941. These novels seek to illustrate the deplorable conditions of life in Indian communities from Mexico to Bolivia. In so doing, however, the Indian characters of these novels are generally reduced to single dimensional characters devoid of …
The Female Archetypes In Swinburne's Early Work, 1857-1871., Betty Moss Duffy
The Female Archetypes In Swinburne's Early Work, 1857-1871., Betty Moss Duffy
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
From "Queen Yseult," 1857, to "Hertha" of Songs before Sunrise, 1871, three archetypes--the femme fatale, the Terrible Mother, and the androgyne--dominate Swinburne's poems, dramas, and novels. These archetypes project the dominant artistic conflict of the Victorian period, the controversy over the function of art and the role of the artist, for they symbolize the psychological and cultural conflict between the doctrine of art for art's sake and its antithesis, art for morality's sake. The femme fatale becomes a symbol of art and beauty, the goal of the artist-androgyne's aesthetic quest. Her masochistic lover strives to possess beauty in the form …
Shifts In Narrative Voices In Four Novels Of Emilia Pardo Bazan., Kizzie Anita Gowin
Shifts In Narrative Voices In Four Novels Of Emilia Pardo Bazan., Kizzie Anita Gowin
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The narrative voices in Los pazos de Ulloa (1886), La madre Naturaleza (1887), La Quimera (1905), and La sirena negra (1908) by Emilia Pardo Bazan were studied. The analysis revealed that the author primarily employed omniscient narration in Los pazos de Ulloa and La madre Naturaleza. She used the relatively new narrative techniques of free indirect style and interior monologue when she wished to present the innermost thoughts of the characters in these two naturalistic novels. Pardo Bazan continued using the narrative techniques of the two earlier novels in La Quimera. However, she employed first-person narration more frequently and extensively …
"Like Little Paul In Person, Voice, And Grace": A Comparative Study Of Edward Taylor And St. Paul., Phill Warren Parmer
"Like Little Paul In Person, Voice, And Grace": A Comparative Study Of Edward Taylor And St. Paul., Phill Warren Parmer
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study examines correlations between the writings of Edward Taylor and St. Paul to understand more precisely the influence that Taylor's particular theology exercised upon his poetry. Chapter I is an introduction to Taylor and the Puritan debt to Paulinism. A brief sketch of Taylor biography and scholarship precedes a discussion of Reformation and Puritan use of the Pauline epistles. A synopsis of the Pauline paradigm of salvation (man in sin--grace through Christ--man "in Christ") is presented. Chapter II, "Old Adam and the Old Covenant," explores St. Paul's and Taylor's concepts of the Creation, Man's Fall in Adam, Original Sin, …
