Jean Toomer's Cane: A Work In The American Grotesque Genre, Kathryn M. Olsen
Jean Toomer's Cane: A Work In The American Grotesque Genre, Kathryn M. Olsen
Masters Theses
In my thesis I will discuss the fact that Jean Toomer’s Cane is a grotesque work, one which in several ways resembles Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio. While Jean Toomer never specifically alludes to any of the characters in Cane as grotesques, they consistently exhibit three of the strongest, most characteristic elements of the grotesque: physical and/or psychic deformities, alienation from the reader/viewer, and, most importantly, unrelenting conflict from two opposing elements. In fact, the figures in Cane show even more development of grotesque themes than the characters in Winesburg, Ohio, a collection known for its portrayals of modern …

Emily Dickinson: "The Face We Choose To Miss", Donna Marie Stephens
Emily Dickinson: "The Face We Choose To Miss", Donna Marie Stephens
Theses & Honors Papers
The majority of Emily Dickinson’s poems deal with love, immortality, and death. There is no doubt that she was preoccupied with two distinct subjects, death and immortality. An important point that this thesis stresses is the fact that Emily’s preoccupation did not muffle her senses, but instead enlivened them. It is essential that one must consider the biographical influences that affected Emily throughout her life, but even more importantly, one must also recognize the correlation between Emily’s preoccupation with these two subjects and the deaths of so many of her closest friends. Due to this, her death and immortality poems …
The Role Of Narrator In Selected Works Of Edgar Allan Poe, Frances M. Smith
The Role Of Narrator In Selected Works Of Edgar Allan Poe, Frances M. Smith
Theses & Honors Papers
This thesis focuses on the role of narrator in selected works of Edgar Allan Poe. The thesis finds that Poe exerts a lot of effort fashioning the narrator. He discredits his reliability to discourage a face-value credibility. He puts him in a dream state to give him access to his subconscious mind. He makes himself and other characters representative of the functioning of the inner mind. He creates deceptiveness in his nature and then makes him alert the reader to the deceptiveness in his nature and then makes him alert the reader to the deception so that the reader will …
Mark Twain's Uses Of Suffering In The Writer-Character-Reader Triad, Virginia Armiger Grant
Mark Twain's Uses Of Suffering In The Writer-Character-Reader Triad, Virginia Armiger Grant
Theses & Honors Papers
This thesis studies Mark Twain’s uses of suffering in the writer character reader triad. In the book Huckleberry Finn, Twain himself seems to identify more closely with Huck than he does with Tom, as evidenced by the first person narrative in Finn and the more serious, more carefully developed autobiographical incidents in that book. Perhaps because Twain’s later life was so bleak and unhappy, he poured all of his self-defeat and pessimism into his thoughts for Huck’s old age.

Waste Land Or Promised Land: T.S. Eliot's The Idea Of A Christian Society, Amy Wallace
Waste Land Or Promised Land: T.S. Eliot's The Idea Of A Christian Society, Amy Wallace
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
In T. S. Eliot's The Idea of a Christian Society, the poet questions the nature of our society's foundations; he believes that Western culture is moving dangerously closer to the liberal and secular and that this shift could be disastrous. Instead, Eliot suggests that we return to what is at the very roots of Western tradition: Christianity. To facilitate this change in direction, Eliot stresses the importance of an educational system which takes a Christian perspective. Also important in his thinking is a Community of Christians, who would act as leaders, and the Christian community (encompassing most of the …
James A. Michener: Social Historian, Elizabeth Conrad
James A. Michener: Social Historian, Elizabeth Conrad
Theses & Honors Papers
This thesis studies the works of James A. Michener as a social historian. Six of his novels, three international and three American, have been examined and shown to be reflections of his deep interest in our country and other lands. His works contain a vast amount of information about the regions or topics. Additionally, they provide the reader with a record of historical events in the manner expected of a historical work. The mind of James Michener has, indeed, created works that ring with beauty and truth. The novels examined in this thesis are infused with the moral sense of …

Surfacing And The Diviners: A Comparative Study, Helen Beach Cannon
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This paper explores religio-folkloric connections in two works of Canadian fiction--Surfacing, by Margaret Atwood, and The Diviners, by Margaret Laurence. On several levels these books have striking parallels. They are here treated as novels of quest and in terms of elemental symbology.
