Eudora Welty : From "The Wanderers" To The Optimist's Daughter, Juli Ling Miller
Eudora Welty : From "The Wanderers" To The Optimist's Daughter, Juli Ling Miller
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The writings of Eudora A. Welty have been published since 1936. They include four collections of short stories and five novels. Although she is a highly anthologized southern writer and winner of several literary awards, serious criticism of her works has been limited to her early short stories or the regionalism of her novels.
The scope of this thesis includes a traditional analysis of "The Wanderers," a story in The Golden Apples (1949) collection which has received cursory study, as well as an analysis of her latest published novel, The Optimist's Daughter, (1972) which has yet to be studied by …
The Composite Art Of Blake's "Laughing Song", William Robert Warner
The Composite Art Of Blake's "Laughing Song", William Robert Warner
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
During the past five years, the literary critics have discovered William Blake, helping readers to understand clearly the various stages of development and the final form of the poet's entire mythology. And recent criticism has also clarified and expressed more systematically than earlier criticism certain features of Blake's total thought. Nevertheless, much recent criticism has hindered rather than helped the serious student of Blake's poetry.] Most critics treat Blake's poems as if they were only literary, completely avoiding discussion of their visual components. Yet, Blake clearly envisioned and intended that his reader view the poetry as a new form consisting …

The Female Image In The Caldecott Medal Award Books, Patricia Lee Brighton Roberts

Science Fiction: A Survey Of Twelve Science Fiction Books Recommended For Junior And Senior High Students, Judy Hughes
Science Fiction: A Survey Of Twelve Science Fiction Books Recommended For Junior And Senior High Students, Judy Hughes
Honors Theses
The following pages contain a brief look at twelve science fiction books and their authors. All of these books are recommended for either junior or senior high students.
As a prospective school media specialist, I wanted to know more about the literature that students from the ages twelve to eighteen read. Science fiction was one area in which I lacked background. Many of the students enjoy science fiction, especially the boys. So, I decided to read a sample of this type of literature to gain more knowledge in the field. After reading each book, I checked to see how many …
Money In The Fiction Of Willa Cather, Vincent A. Clark
Money In The Fiction Of Willa Cather, Vincent A. Clark
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The subject of money is important in the fiction of Willa Cather. She discusses it frequently and often at great length. In some works it is a major theme.
Despite its importance, a number of Willa Cather's critics have ignored the subject or have given it only cursory mention. Several ·writers, however, have discussed the subject at length. John H. Randall, III, in particular, analyzes it in great detail.· His analysis, however, goes astray at several key points.
This thesis shows that Willa Cather's attitudes toward money were balanced, humane, and consistent. These attitudes can be summarized as follows: (a) …
The Literature Of Verbal Nonsense In Lewis Carroll, Samuel Beckett And Eugène Ionesco, Madeleine R. Scalliet
The Literature Of Verbal Nonsense In Lewis Carroll, Samuel Beckett And Eugène Ionesco, Madeleine R. Scalliet
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Nonsense literature and nonsense poetry have provided release from the shackles of logic for centuries. But the greatest masters of English nonsense are Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. Carroll gives, in Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-glass, the principles underlying a carefully-built structure. In Lewis Carroll's nonsense world, the creatures break the determinism of meaning and significance.
Nonsense can be defined by the following characteristics: a strong adherence to the concrete in every way possible in order to allow the intellect to be in complete control of its material and thus prevent reference; the elaboration of a pseudo-logic based …
"Presentational Immediacy" In The Poetry Of James Dickey, Lethiel C. Parson
"Presentational Immediacy" In The Poetry Of James Dickey, Lethiel C. Parson
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The thesis explores the "presentational immediacy" of the poetry of James Dickey. "Presentational immediacy" is a phrase used by the poet, himself, to describe his attempt to provide a verbal equivalent of an intense experience. He also defines the phrase in stating that his aim is to effect spontaneity and reader involvement in the experience of the poems. This is a relatively difficult objective to accomplish. However, as is shown in the study of the poems in Chapter V, Dickey's handling of the general diction and imagery of the poems does fulfill his objective of presenting an experience in a …
A Comparison Of Jane Austen's Early And Late Characterization, Janet R. Moore
A Comparison Of Jane Austen's Early And Late Characterization, Janet R. Moore
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this thesis is to compare an early well-developed heroine, Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, with a late well-developed heroine, Anne Elliot in Persuasion, in Jane Austen's novels to see if there are any changes in characterization and techniques of characterization and to evaluate these techniques.
In Chapter One, I have shown that throughout the nineteenth century from the time of publication, critics commented on Jane Austen's ability to create realistic characters. Not until the twentieth century, however, was Jane Austen's work evaluated critically. Twentieth century critics agree that she was a master at character …
Three Studies In Characterization, Diana A. Kohler
Three Studies In Characterization, Diana A. Kohler
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
THE WOMEN OF BEN JONSON IN EPICOENE AND BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. This paper compares and contrasts the method variations that cause the women of Epicoene to be less interesting and more stereotyped than those of Bartholomew Fair.
Basically, in the women of Epicoene, Jonson used character types exclusively. The women were all "masculine," and remained that type throughout the play. In Bartholomew Fair, Jonson created versatility in the characters by including more information on the women through rhetorical "places," particularly the consilium or reason behind their actions. The multiplied places in the women in Bartholomew Fair, the changes in the …

A Study Of Urizen Symbols In Some Of William Blake's Poems, Glen Ivan Wilsey
Graduate Student Research Papers

The Orc Symbol In William Blake's Works, Michael James Finnigan
The Orc Symbol In William Blake's Works, Michael James Finnigan
Graduate Student Research Papers
A study of Orc, Blake's symbol for energy, suggests several different hypotheses. This paper intends to test the hypothesis that Orc is a force. With the use of illustrations and explications, Orc becomes more clearly a symbol of Blake's imaginative form. This energy will be seen at each level of Blake's visions, each different psychological stage, and at the highest level, poetic imagination. Thus, as the creator creates, the creation becomes the molded form of the creator's imagination.

Total Mobilization, William Bingham
Total Mobilization, William Bingham
English Language and Literature ETDs
This literary treatment develops the condition of suspended animation which reaches its completion in the Jamesian character in "The Ambassadors" who makes mock-sinister references to a 'product' which he never names. Literature with all its claptrap about the 'vital' issues of love and adventure on the battlefield and in the drawing-room--this ridiculous cud chewed over and over makes me gag. Even the current prattle about 'existence' is an evasion, perhaps the supreme evasion...
The success of an 'embattled style' lies in the poet's ability to sustain generalisation without abstracting it from living experience. A limit of individuation must be transcended …
Assifidity Days And Other Poems, Robert E. Rhodes
Assifidity Days And Other Poems, Robert E. Rhodes
English Language and Literature ETDs
I now believe at this end of this writing that there are three stages through which the poet and his poetry move in the accomplishment of any poem; stages in relation to this poet only, in development of these poems. Since we can agree that poetry is a highly personal statement (a dangerous thing in itself today), it is with poetry as personal statement that I would like to begin.
Wallace Gould: A Critical Study, Pollyanna Martin Foard
Wallace Gould: A Critical Study, Pollyanna Martin Foard
Theses & Honors Papers
The aim of this study has been to collect all the available bibliographical and biographical data about Wallace Gould in an effort to estimate the nature and significance of his poetry. The focus of the paper is on the shaping forces of the poet's inspiration, and dI have attempted to show how the background and experience of the man have influenced the scope and material of his work.
No previous comprehensive study of Gould has been made. Thus, research materials were tedious to come by, and the conclusions of this paper may be question able. I have, however, had the …
Expressions Of Nationalism In The Poetry Of The Texas Republic, Edgar Warren Smith Jr.
Expressions Of Nationalism In The Poetry Of The Texas Republic, Edgar Warren Smith Jr.
English Language and Literature ETDs
It will be the primary purpose of this thesis to prove that the thinking and writing, especially the writing of poetry, during the period of the Texas Republic express a nationalism which stems from the separate, national feeling in which Texans had after they declared their independence from Mexico. In order to carry through this research the writer intends to study the poetry for the period 1836 to 1845 in so far as it is available for the study.
The writer believes that the Republicans felt their independence, their national separateness from any other nation, their position among the nations …

Kentucky Autobiography And Kentucky Culture., William F. Keirce
Kentucky Autobiography And Kentucky Culture., William F. Keirce
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to trace the historical development of autobiographical writing in Kentucky; to analyze the literary and philosophical characteristics of these works and, by this means, to divide these writings into several categories; and, finally, to reveal by an interpretation of these autobiographies, certain cultural aspects of Kentucky life and society. As thus stated, the intentions of this study are several; but, actually, all these aims are inseparably related part. of a single general problem which is to investigate Kentucky autobiographical writing as a whole in order to better understand the individual works in that literature.

Sara Teasdale: Her Life And Work, Virginia Mcknight
English Language and Literature ETDs
This study of Sara Teasdale was made not only in an attempt to learn more about her as a woman and as a poet but try to relate the two, to explain why she wrote the type of poetry which she did, why some of her poems express such a joyous love of life and others such as disillusionment. The latter expression is more understandable when the facts of her life are known. The studies of her imagery and stanzaic forms aid in forming an opinion of her ability as a poet and also tend to characterize her as a …
