Life And Personality Of Robert Frost, Una Mae Atkinson
Life And Personality Of Robert Frost, Una Mae Atkinson
Honors Theses
The most important American poet since Walt Whitman is the New Englander, Robert Frost. People who have never thought of reading poetry take to Frost. His words are simple words; the images are simple, most often country, things. The music of his poetry is the sound of everyday talk, and the ideas, on the surface, anyway, are plain and straight. Subjects of Frost's poetry are such things as nature, love and friendship, self-trust, fear, and courage.
Thus, Robert Frost occupies a unique position in modern poetry. Unlike most contemporary poets, he has managed to win a wide popular audience while …
Themes And Development In The Poetry Of Kenneth Patchen, Joe Kirby
Themes And Development In The Poetry Of Kenneth Patchen, Joe Kirby
Honors Theses
Kenneth Patchen has been, and continues to be, one of the most influential and controversial figures in contemporary American literature; very few people who read Patchen come away unchanged or uninfluenced by his poetry, and few, if any, of his readers are of mixed emotions about the value of his work: It is either sheer magic and of tremendous artistic merit or it is rough, emotional garbage, a judgement often dependent upon the courage of the reader. Patchen is not held in high esteem publicly by many poets and critics. The American poet Kenneth Rexroth was once advised by an …
Francis Scott Fitzgerald: Voice Of The Twenties, Rebecca Ann Barron
Francis Scott Fitzgerald: Voice Of The Twenties, Rebecca Ann Barron
Honors Theses
With all the flamboyant, glitter, and riotous excitement one can muster up, the age of the Twenties brought to America an era not to be forgotten. Gansters, flappers, and two-bit saloons were all encompassed in this "Jazz-Age" which spread its influence from shore to shore. Americans became, in a sense optimists and as optimists looked toward their social and financial situation as fundamentally sound and triumphant over its predecessors. They identified themselves with their century. Its teens were their teens, its world war was their war, and its Twenties were their Twenties. Launching forward they looked about for a spokesman, …

Some Observations Of Modern Drama As Exemplified By Tennessee Williams In The Glass Menagerie And Suddenly Last Summer, James Edward Mcmenis
Honors Theses
The purpose of this Honors Special Studies project was to acquaint the author with a facet of literature of which he had not come into contact. This area of literature was the area of modern drama. As an example of the modern playwright's style and method, the author chose to concentrate on Tennessee Williams. Thus several Tennessee Williams works were read--and these, The Glass Menagerie and Suddenly Last Summer form the basis from which some conclusions were drawn.

The Church In The Dramas Of T. S. Eliot, Rebecca Ellen Dunn
The Church In The Dramas Of T. S. Eliot, Rebecca Ellen Dunn
All Master's Theses
From the desolation of a sterile Waste Land populated by straw men, Eliot's dramas increasingly portray a world of great meaning and hope. His early dramas portray a hostile and insensible world which must be fought and completely rejected by religious persons who are called to martyrdom and sainthood. Eliot's acceptance of the material world and comfort with its society brings a steady transformation of his spiritual vision when at the end of his dramas the world is one of common people who strive to find meaning and "make the best of a bad job," illumined by a vision of …
