“The Multiplying Villainies Of Nature” Northrop Frye’S Green World And The Red World Of The Shakespearean Tragedy, Wyatt Merkley
2018 Undergraduate Awards
If the literary green world of ecocriticism needs an update, so too does the idea of Shakespeare’s green world—the idyllic, pastoral, setting of escape and freedom from tyranny, established by literary scholar Northrop Frye in his 1948 essay “The Argument of Comedy” and elaborated on in his 1952 Anatomy of Criticism. Frye’s green world was never fully conceptualized, and some scholars have attempted to update Frye’s green world idea, like Charles R. Forker, whose 1985 essay “The Green Underworld of Early Shakespearean Tragedy” provides a well-needed application of the green world theory to several Shakespearean tragedies.

Eliot's Objective Correlative, and Ezra Pound's Imagism.

Replacement Of The Recorder By The Transverse Flute During The Baroque And Classical Periods, Victoria Boerner
2018 Undergraduate Awards
While the recorder today is primarily an instrument performed by school children, this family of instruments has a long history, and was once more popular than the flute. This paper examines when, why, and how the Western transverse flute surpassed the recorder in popularity. After an explanation of the origins, history, and overlapping names for these various aerophones, this paper examines the social and cultural, technical, and musical reasons that contributed to the recorder’s decline. While all of these factors undoubtedly contributed to this transition, ultimately it appears that cultural, economic, and technical reasons were more important than musical ones, …
