Using Singular Value Decomposition In Classics: Seeking Correlations In Horace, Juvenal And Persius Against The Fragments Of Lucilius, Thomas Whidden 2013 University of South Carolina

Using Singular Value Decomposition In Classics: Seeking Correlations In Horace, Juvenal And Persius Against The Fragments Of Lucilius, Thomas Whidden

Theses and Dissertations

For the purpose of this dissertation, the hypothesis is posited that a programmatic correlation of the poems of Lucilius and the other Satirists reveals a detailed and dense level of intertextuality, especially in those poems which scholars already understand to allude to the genre's inventor. In addition to those poems which are discussed in secondary literature, we have discovered other poems which correlate highly with the corpus of Lucilius, but have been largely ignored. To demonstrate this fact I have devised a method using Singular Value Decomposition. That method is able to discern this subtle intertextuality in both the texts …


A Poetics Of Complicity: Translating Luis García Montero, Alice McAdams 2013 Oberlin College

A Poetics Of Complicity: Translating Luis García Montero, Alice Mcadams

Honors Papers

The work of Luis García Montero, one of Spain's most lauded poets of the past three decades, is marked most strongly by a desire to dissolve hierarchies between generations, between artists and ordinary citizens, and, above all, between the self and the other. He frequently realizes this goal through his metaphoric technique, employing personification almost ubiquitously to equalize the emotional power of animals, landscape, and inanimate pieces of technology. Though his poetry is romantic, he takes a significant departure from traditional forms of the genre by assigning little more importance to the lover than he does to the many facets …


Translated Literature In Your Library: The Mildred L Batchelder Award, Kasey L. Garrison, Danielle E. Forest, Sue C. Kimmel 2013 Charles Sturt University

Translated Literature In Your Library: The Mildred L Batchelder Award, Kasey L. Garrison, Danielle E. Forest, Sue C. Kimmel

STEMPS Faculty Publications

Translated books represent a unique bridge between cultures for young readers. This article discusses recent trends and practical applications for award-winning literature that has been translated into English and published in the United States. Winner and honour titles earning the Mildred L Batchelder Award for their publishers often include European languages of origins and settings. Despite this homogeneity, the books represent a quality option as a way to diversify a library collection for English-speaking patrons, particularly young adults, and to enhance teaching lessons with the integration of this global literature.


Lenore: Poe And Baudelaire At Play, Carolyn Martha Fado 2013 The College of Wooster

Lenore: Poe And Baudelaire At Play, Carolyn Martha Fado

Senior Independent Study Theses

This Senior Independent Study Project is a postmodern play inspired by the work of the nineteenth-century poets Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire. The scholar Lenore loses her grasp on reality as she studies the work of these two poets and she becomes lost in an imaginary world. This project is collaborative; music composition major Cara Haxo wrote a song cycle based on parts of the script. The play is preceded by a critical introduction.

Operatic Observation Of The Audience: Examining Chapter One Of Edith Wharton's The Age Of Innocence, Andréa René Franke 2013 Portland State University

Operatic Observation Of The Audience: Examining Chapter One Of Edith Wharton's The Age Of Innocence, Andréa René Franke

Anthós

The act of observation, as defined by Professor Lawrence Wheeler’s Fall 2012 Syllabus for his course titled "Theatron", is "a morally complex act undertaken by qualified agents, operating through recognized and formalized practices, in a specific venue, and in possession of a carefully delimited vocabulary of discourse." Throughout many disciplines this formalized practice can be identified in many forms while still prescribing to this narrow definition. This essay will show how this definition of observation is applied to early 20th century American literature in Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence (1920) by examining the first chapter of Wharton’s museum cultured …
