Dark Sympathy: Desiring The Other In Godwin, Coleridge, And Shelley, Jeffrey T. King
Dark Sympathy: Desiring The Other In Godwin, Coleridge, And Shelley, Jeffrey T. King
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Dark Sympathy: Desiring the Other in Godwin, Coleridge, and Shelley explores how Romantic writers took up and responded to eighteenth-century discourses of sympathy in the context of an increasingly influential materialist epistemology and ontology. In its formulation by David Hume and Adam Smith, sympathy plays a central role in society, using the imagination to smooth over uncertainties about the status of the self and its relation to the world that might otherwise paralyze human activity. Sympathy therefore carries a twofold purpose: on the one hand, it provides a feasible substitute for personal identity; on the other hand, it facilitates social …
The Buddhist Coleridge: Creating Space For The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner Within Buddhist Romantic Studies, Katie Pacheco
The Buddhist Coleridge: Creating Space For The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner Within Buddhist Romantic Studies, Katie Pacheco
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The popularization of academic spaces that combine Buddhist philosophy with the literature of the Romantic period – a discipline I refer to as Buddhist Romantic Studies – have exposed the lack of scholarly attention Samuel Taylor Coleridge and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner have received within such studies. Validating Coleridge’s right to exist within Buddhist Romantic spheres, my thesis argues that Coleridge was cognizant of Buddhism through historical and textual encounters. To create a space for The Rime within Buddhist Romantic Studies, my thesis provides an interpretation of the poem that centers on the concept of prajna, or wisdom, …
Devastating Diva: Pauline Viardot And Rewriting The Image Of Women In Nineteenth-Century French Opera Culture, Rebecca Bennett Fairbank
Devastating Diva: Pauline Viardot And Rewriting The Image Of Women In Nineteenth-Century French Opera Culture, Rebecca Bennett Fairbank
Theses and Dissertations
Historically vilified, the vocalizing woman developed a stereotyped image with the emergence of the prima donna in eighteenth-century opera. By the nineteenth century, the prima donna became the focal point for socio-cultural polemics: women sought financial and social independence through a career on the operatic stage while society attempted to maintain through various means the socio-cultural stability now threatened by women's mobility. The prima donna represented both a positive ideal for women as well as a great threat to western patriarchy. A discourse emerged in which the symbol of female independence and success ”the prima donna" became the site of …

Query: How Does The Never To Be Differ From What Never Was?, Robert Scott Whipkey
Query: How Does The Never To Be Differ From What Never Was?, Robert Scott Whipkey
Theses and Dissertations
The feeling of a narcotic cannot be put to words, just as the sensation one receives from her or his favorite artwork is impossible to record. Equally, both these delicacies of modern existence must be sought out. The user/viewer only gets a tiny taste and must therefore keep coming back for more. Utopia may be an unrealistic construction of culture, but I would posit the idea the both narcotics and art strive to give us just that – however tiny a taste. This paper addresses the intersections of visual art, drugs, anti-hero worship and contemporary representations of Romanticism throughout the …
My Mechanics Of Justification, Veronika Pausova
My Mechanics Of Justification, Veronika Pausova
Theses and Dissertations
This document examines the theory behind the process leading to my paintings, as well as the content of the images I use. The former will invoke romanticism, infinite possibilities, and the need for having certain parameters and flexible rules. The latter will talk about sentimentality and contemporary culture. I will explain the mechanics of justifying the choice of a particular way of painting: the push and pull between the loaded content of an image versus the language of painting itself.

The Rationality And Femininity Of Mary Wollstonecraft And Jane Austen, Rachel Evans
The Rationality And Femininity Of Mary Wollstonecraft And Jane Austen, Rachel Evans
Journal of International Women's Studies
This essay addresses the issues of self-representation in women’s writing of the early nineteenth-century British literary culture. I explore the subordination of women by a construction of femininity which did not allow them to be rational thinking subjects. Through the work of Mary Wollstonecraft I demonstrate how she provided a space for the rights of women to be discussed in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and the impact this had on a patriarchal society. Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park serves as a fictional articulation of this, which illustrates the way in which women writers were disguising their political intent …

The Good Corporation? Google's Medievalism And Why It Matters, Richard Utz
Richard Utz
This essay investigates Google's nostalgic romanticism as a form of medievalism and demonstrates how one of Google's products, the n-gram viewer, has changed what we know about the history of the term and mindset of "medievalism."
Romance And Identity In Flight Club, Jacob Wiker
Romance And Identity In Flight Club, Jacob Wiker
ETD Archive
Chuck Palahniuk's novel Fight Club has been the subject of much critical contention over the years. Typical analyses of the novel revolve around its existential or nihilist comedy, homoerotic elements, or commentary on consumer culture. However, no critics to date have studied Fight Club's romantic elements, despite indications by the author that the novel is, in fact, intended to be a romance. This study reimagines and interprets Fight Club, the novel, as a work with romantic elements essential to the structure of the narrative itself. Additionally, it studies the complex interplay of Palahniuk's romantic elements with questions of gender identity …

The Multiplied Body : Romanticism's Imaginary Subject, Dana M. Balejko
The Multiplied Body : Romanticism's Imaginary Subject, Dana M. Balejko
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
“The Multiplied Body: Romanticism's Imaginary Subject” develops a new understanding of the Romantic subject as one that fundamentally disrupts the formation of the poetic “I” in its demonstration that through the “awful power” of the imagination the Romantic body is always, already multiplied. The texts analyzed (both Romantic and contemporary) recognize the “constitutive” social and historical fallacies surrounding definitions of the “natural” human. This project's development of an imagined multiple body denotes a refutation of humanistic theories about embodied existence. Ultimately, through an analysis of poetry by Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley (among others), “The Multiplied Body” reveals alternative ontological strategies …
The Conflicted Artist- An Analysis Of The Aesthetics Of German Idealism In E.T.A. Hoffmann's Artist, Leigh Hannah Buches
The Conflicted Artist- An Analysis Of The Aesthetics Of German Idealism In E.T.A. Hoffmann's Artist, Leigh Hannah Buches
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis will analyze the characteristics of the artist as an individual who attempts to attain an aesthetic Ideal in which he believes he will find fulfillment. In the works of E.T.A. Hoffmann, most notably Das Fräulein von Scuderi and Rat Krespel, the artists René Cardillac and Rat Krespel not only fall short of this ideal, but also limit themselves to the point that they cannot advance further without causing destruction in their own lives. The failure of these artists is not due to their imperfections, but rather to their strict adherence to German Idealist principles, which limit the artist …
Romantic Exoticism: The Music Of Elsewhere In The Nineteenth Century, Josiah Raiche
Romantic Exoticism: The Music Of Elsewhere In The Nineteenth Century, Josiah Raiche
Senior Honors Theses
Western art music has drawn on many sources. One of these is non-western music, which can be integrated into European classical music tradition in the form of exoticism. This paper will highlight musical elements used by composers seeking to create exoticism, examine selected works, and note common elements of western music that have exotic roots. In the nineteenth century, there were three general trends in exoticism. The first, non-musical exoticism, utilizes conventional western music alongside extra-musical exotic elements. Romantic exoticism portrays distant lands using musical elements, drawing these from the audience’s perceptions of the music represented. Realistic exoticism attempts to …
