Gargantua And The New Historiography, Richard M. Berrong

University of Dayton Review

One major tenet of much modern Rabelais criticism since Screech and Defaux — and even. in certain ways, since Lefranc — is that the Oeuvres cannot fully be appreciated by the present-day reader until he acquires familiarity with matters known to Rabelais and his intended audience. As shown again most recently by Gerard Defaux, there are "codes culturels" subtending much of the Oeuvres, codes to which Rabelais most definitely was alluding and of which modern readers must therefore be aware if they are to perceive the meanings that Rabelais knew his own readers, familiar with these codes, would derive from …

Epiphanies Through Nature In The Stories Of Kate Chopin, Joyce Coyne Dyer

University of Dayton Review

In many Kate Chopin short stories of the 1890s, among them "Loka" (ApriI 9-10, 1892), "The Story of an Hour" (April 19, 1894), "The Unexpected" (July 18,1895), and "A Morning Walk" (April 1897), scenes of nature mysteriously move characters from confusion to vision. Magically and urgently, these scenes awaken Chopin's men and women. Epiphanies through nature force them to learn, or remember, the central place of the instincts and the desire for freedom in their lives. Loka, Mrs. Mallard, Dorothea, and Archibald, all susceptible to nature's power, gain courage as nature manifests itself to each.

Die Schlimmen Buben In Der Gesellschaft: Nestroy's Children As Mirrors Of Society, Roger A. Crockett

University of Dayton Review

A few writers possess the ability to express in a phrase or two an idea to which most of us would less successfully devote pages. Such an artist was Nestroy, and just such an aphorism concerns the relationship between sons and their fathers: "Mir war der verlorene Sohn immer verächtlich, aber nicht deswegen, weil er ein Schweinehirt war, sondern weil er wieder nach Hause gekommen ist" (VI 568). This inversion of the parable's moral expresses the cynicism of one who believed that sons were better off in any condition away from home than under parental domination. Society's norms for morality …

Otto F. Walter’S Die Verwilderung: Swiss Engagement In The 70’S, Robert Acker

University of Dayton Review

Most students of postwar German literature are probably not well acquainted with the works of the contemporary Swiss author Otto F. Walter. This comes as no surprise, since many of the younger generation of writers in the German-speaking part of Switzerland have been overshadowed by Frisch and Durrenmatt, and Swiss-German authors in general are often unfairly viewed as an unimportant provincial appendage of mainstream German letters. However, Walter is an important Swiss novelist, and in the early sixties, he was prominent in a group of young writers (which included Kurt Marti, Jürg Federspiel, Jörg Steiner and Peter Bichsel) who broke …

Some Uses Of Irony In Robert Frost’S Poetry, K. E. Marre

University of Dayton Review

That Robert Frost's Yankee image was the result of a long and deep relationship with New England was, for a long time, a commonly held article of faith. Frost, of course, endorsed this view of himself as a Yankee farmer-poet and in fact assiduously cultivated such an image in the early stages of his career — as John Kemp has documented in his book Robert Frost and New England. But Frost adopted the persona of the Yankee farmer-poet not because it was autobiographically accurate but because that persona gave him the framework which he desired, from which he could make …

Some New Facts About Gunter Eich In The Nazi Period And The Importance Of Context: A Reconstruction Of His Nonextant Radio Play "Rebellion In Der Goldstadt", Glenn R. Cuomo

University of Dayton Review

While Gunter Eich's writing career goes back to the final years of the Weimar Republic, he had his most significant impact on the postwar literary scene, as a founding member of the "Gruppe 47," a leading representative of the Naturlyrik tradition, and as the author responsible for the German radio play's "classic period." In these same years Eich also gained much notoriety as a voice of dissent during West Germany's "economic miracle." With its unambiguous allusions to fascism and its disquieting message of universal guilt, Eich's radio play "Traume" elicited an unprecedented barrage of listener protest upon its premier broadcast …

The Deceitful Artist In German Expressionist Drama, Anna K. Kuhn

University of Dayton Review

Given the strongly antibourgeois bias of Expressionist art, it is hardly surprising to find that the topos of the artist as imposter plays an important role in many early Expressionist dramas. Portrayed as an outsider, the artist is juxtaposed with a proprietary society that regards his art as a commodity. Depicting the materialistic assessment of art in capitalist society as a given, these plays explore the existential possibilities open to the artist faced with the devaluation of art in the early twentieth century. Thus, these plays reflect a concern common to literary Expressionism, i.e., criticism of bourgeois capitalism. Four plays …

Grillparzer's Erny And Lessing's Emilia, Roy C. Cowen

University of Dayton Review

Similarities between Grillparzer's Erny in Ein treuer Diener seines Herrn and Lessing's Emilia Galotti have already been suggested, albeit somewhat incidentally. In his edition of Grillparzer's works, Rudolf Franz comments on Erny's exclamation in Act II when she discovers Otto waiting for her. ... And when Erny stabs herself at the end of Act III, Franz remarks: "Der Ausgang Ernys erinnert an den der Emilia Galotti und an dessen Vorbild, den Tod der Virginia; jedoch ist die Notlage Ernys zwingender als die der Lessingschen Heldin" (IV, 388). But such annotations, while suggestive, hardly exhaust the similarities, nor do they penetrate …

“Das Reimet Sich Ja Nicht?” Aspects Of Wit In German Gallant Poetry, Lathrop P. Johnson

University of Dayton Review

The gallant period in German poetry stretches from 1680 to 1730, serving as a bridge between the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries, a transition summarizing the Baroque and anticipating the Enlightenment. The most important impetus for the high point of gallant poetry was the so-called Neukirch Anthology. an immensely popular seven-volume series beginning in 1695. The anthology capitalized on the name and fame of one of the leading Baroque poets, Christian Hoffmann von Hoffmannswaldau, publishing his love poetry which had previously had only limited circulation in manuscript form. Each volume of the anthology included sections of "galante" and "verliebte" poems, …

Baudelaire’S “Les Bienfaits De La Lune” And Goethe’S “Erlkönig”, Francis S. Heck

University of Dayton Review

Baudelaire's prose poem "Les Bienfaits de la Lune" is dated 1863. Most critics restrict their commentary of this poem to the fact that the poet was thinking of the young girl, Berthe, of the poem "Les Yeux de Berthe"; Henri Lemaître and Jacques Crépet see a striking similarity between the young girl in "Bienfaits" and the one in a later prose poem, "La Soupe et les Nuages." According to F. W. Leakey, the poet's choice of the Moon as the mythological bestower of gifts might well be so because of the poet's "personal mythology." The interpretation of "Bienfaits," however, contains …

Preachers And Pagans: The Christian Missionary In Joyce Cary’S African Novels, Kathryne S. Mcdorman

University of Dayton Review

In 1963 Professor Robin Winks published a selection of readings entitled British Imperialism: Gold. God. Glory. In his subtitle Winks achieved more than clever alliteration — he demonstrated the significance that mission work claimed as a justification for conquering and maintaining an empire. What had occurred in the New World during the Spanish conquest was repeated by the British in Africa — before the dust of conquest had settled, missionaries had built churches and schools in the new lands. They journeyed the length and breadth of "the dark continent." carrying with them the message of Christ. and indirectly, of the …

The Playas Tudor Propaganda: Bale’S King John And The Authority Of Kings, Robert Duncan

University of Dayton Review

As the drama of John Bale of Suffolk (1495-1563) is an index to the controversies of the Reformation, so is his life an interesting parallel to the major events of that period of English history. He was born ten years after the battle of Bosworth, entered the Carmelite convent at Norwich two years before the accession of Henry VIII, was converted to Protestantism in the year Henry married Anne Boleyn, fled to the continent upon the fall of Cromwell in 1540, returned under Edward VI, and fled again when Mary became queen, only to return once more upon the enthronement …

The Labyrinth As Myth And Metaphor, Donald Gutierrez

University of Dayton Review

Life is often presented as a line (a path, a road) or sometimes as a circle. But it has also been regarded more imaginatively as a labyrinth or maze. To some, maze patterning might be too restrictive for any broad or deep symbolic purposes. As the 18th-century Lord Kames put it, speaking primarily of garden mazes, "It is a mere conceit, like that of composing verses in the shape of an axe or an egg. The walks and hedges may be agreeable, but in the form of a labyrinth, they serve no end but to puzzle … ." A contemporary …

Symposium Foreword, Frederick Davis

University of Dayton Law Review

The magnitude of the role which constitutional law plays in keeping the United States the mighty and productive nation that it is cannot be overestimated. In a very serious sense, constitutional law, and its uniquely American corollary, judicial review, are the tender threads upon which the whole awesome political venture, initiated only some 200 years ago, depends.

Those of us who work in other vineyards tend to forget, or, even worse, to take for granted, the constitutional processes upon which we all so heavily depend. That is why a symposium such as this is of such value. It helps to …
