Wind, Wave, And Generative Metaphor In Greek, Hans Bork
All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
A diachronic analysis of the so-called 'Ship of State' metaphor, with the premise that the more sophisticated trope of Archaic lyric poetry is an elaboration of a larger cognitive metaphor that appears in the earliest Greek texts.

Joachim Du Bellay's Occasional Poetry: The Poetics Of Female Patronage, Elizabeth Landers
Joachim Du Bellay's Occasional Poetry: The Poetics Of Female Patronage, Elizabeth Landers
All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
This study seeks to demonstrate that female patrons at the Valois court--particularly Marguerite de France, and, to a lesser extent Diane de Poitiers--had a defining influence on both the career and the aesthetic choices of the sixteenth-century French poet Joachim Du Bellay. Although it has often been acknowledged that Du Bellay and Marguerite enjoyed a special relationship, the current study reveals the extent to which Marguerite served as an organizing principal for Du Bellay's entire writing life. As an admired patron, she provided moral support and networking opportunities that encouraged and rewarded Du Bellay's poetic production; her erudition and literary …
Cultural Transmission In The Age Of Modernism: Mentorship In The Novel, 1890--1960, Dalia Oppenheimer
Cultural Transmission In The Age Of Modernism: Mentorship In The Novel, 1890--1960, Dalia Oppenheimer
All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
Cultural Transmission in the Age of Modernism: Mentorship in the Novel, 1890-1960 considers how education reform impacted modernist questions about the transmissibility of culture. Beginning with the institutionalization of universal education in the late nineteenth century and ending with the nationalization of education in the immediately postwar period, this dissertation considers specifically the relationship between educational policy and the possibility of institutional cultural transmission. Focusing on the novelists Thomas Hardy, E.M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, and Muriel Spark, I suggest that modernist-era writers were concerned as to whether or not Oxbridge could: or should) preserve and transmit the version of liberal-humane …
Spenser's "Inward Ey": Poetics, Lexicography, And The Motivations For Edmund Spenser's Linguistic Idealism, Lawrence Revard
Spenser's "Inward Ey": Poetics, Lexicography, And The Motivations For Edmund Spenser's Linguistic Idealism, Lawrence Revard
All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
Edmund Spenser's concepts of language have been seen as "anti-linguistic" to the extent that his idealism extols the power of thought while depicting speech as a corrupting monster--most notably the Blatant Beast of The Legend of Courtesy, Book 6 of The Faerie Queene. My thesis re-examines Spenser's antipathies for language, telling the story of his definition of the poet both in terms of his understandings of language and his part in the struggle to legitimize English vernacular. I first focus on Spenser's imagery of naming, tongues, writing, and identity in his later work, particularly the Platonic ideas in The Fowre …

Dramaturgical Crossroads And Aesthetic Transformations: Modern And Contemporary Adaptations Of Classical Japanese Nō Drama, Robert Neblett
Dramaturgical Crossroads And Aesthetic Transformations: Modern And Contemporary Adaptations Of Classical Japanese Nō Drama, Robert Neblett
All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
This study explores the various dramaturgical strategies at work within the twentieth and twenty-first-century theatrical adaptation of the Japanese Nō drama. At its core are questions regarding the methodology utilized in the updating of an innately supernatural and spiritual aesthetic into the increasingly secularized world of the present, and how those supernatural elements are often transformed into metaphorical constructs. Ultimately, I examine how the transformative aesthetic that has given the Nō its literary power over the past 700 years is the very aspect that permits it to facilitate, resist, and assimilate the strategies of dramatic adaptation. My primary categories for …
