Lancelot: A Study Of The Development Of His Character From Celtic Origin To Chretien And Malory, Ike R. Stoneberger
Lancelot: A Study Of The Development Of His Character From Celtic Origin To Chretien And Malory, Ike R. Stoneberger
Theses & Honors Papers
In this thesis I have researched the origin and development of the character of Lancelot . I have attempted to make intelligible analyses of contributions of his character to the development of Arthurian romance. In so doing , I have stressed the origin of his character according to the belief that Lancelot's antecedents lie in Celtic myth; I have outlined the role of Lancelot in certain medieval romances-- "Le Chevalier de la Charrette" by Chretien de Troyes and Le Morte D 'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory ; and , I have shown how the character of Lancelot illustrates and glorifies …

In Memoriam: The Way Of A Mystic, Carolyn E. Wagner
In Memoriam: The Way Of A Mystic, Carolyn E. Wagner
Theses & Honors Papers
The purport, therefore, of this thesis will be to discover some of the general characteristics of a mystical experience as accepted by various students of mysticism and to discern whether or not these characteristics are to be found in In Memoriam. Other poems by the Poet Laureate will be used to gain insight into the development of the author's attitude toward mysticism, as well as any influential ideas of such associates as Arthur Henry Hallam, or other contemporary writers, or historical movements. Throughout, there will be an attempt to refute, compromise, or concur with any critical conjectures made regarding Tennyson's …
Kate Chopin In Transition From Local To Naturalism, Roselyn Cornwell Hines
Kate Chopin In Transition From Local To Naturalism, Roselyn Cornwell Hines
Theses & Honors Papers
My thesis concentrates on Mrs.Katherine O'Flaherty Chopin, a Southerner who published between 1889 and 1899, and who, for years, was considered an obsolete Local Colorist. She is now enjoying a revival of interest which must be attributed to her importance as a writer who exhibited those precepts upon which modern literature is based - those found in the movements of Realism and Naturalism.
With literary roots in the Local Color mode,Mrs.Chopin's early works exemplify, to some extent at least, all of its principles. While she falters somewhat in the dominant literary technique, we find the Local Colorist's emphasis on geography, …

The South And Thomas Nelson Page, Jo Ann Smith Johnson
The South And Thomas Nelson Page, Jo Ann Smith Johnson
Theses & Honors Papers
Thomas Nelson Page, a native Virginian, was known for writing short stories which idealized the Old South. At first glance his short stories seamed to glorify the south; once one delves deeper, they see that Page criticized the one thing his books revolved around. This thesis analyzes the four parts of Page’s short stories (religion, politics, economics, and social structure) to prove that even though Page has a deep love for the Old South, his short stories has embedded criticisms within them.

Richmond Renascence: The Virginia Writers' Club Of The 1920'S, Betty Farley
Richmond Renascence: The Virginia Writers' Club Of The 1920'S, Betty Farley
Theses & Honors Papers
This somewhat historical approach to a literary topic, the Virginia Writers' Club and its progeny, a small literary magazine, The Reviewer, is concerned primarily with the presentation of evidence that there was a great deal of writing in Richmond, Virginia, in the early 1920"s. Although insufficient research materials available locally provide scanty basis for a critical analysis of the many works of these writers, I feel that the existence of the club, the motivation for its formation, and the kind of atmosphere that it produced deserve attention.

General Semantics And Shakespeare, Florence Richardson
General Semantics And Shakespeare, Florence Richardson
Theses & Honors Papers
It is not the intention of this thesis to attempt to "explain" any of Shakespeare's plays but simply to use their objective presentation of human problems for illustrating the principles of general semantics. It is realized that many interpretations are possible other than those selected here and it is asked that the reader keep in mind that for the purposes of this paper we are considering the plays only within the framework of that system.

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 …
