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 …

The Attitude Toward Nature In Eighteenth Century English Poetry, Julien Pontier

Bachelors’ Theses

Philosophy tells us that many arguments and seeming differences of opinion may be avoided if the parties involved would simply define the terms of the question under discussion. It will, perhaps, be well then to follow this advice in the treatment of our subject which is Nature as it is found in eighteenth century English poetry. Just what terms then must be defined or made clear? Nature as it is expressed in poetry must be defined, but along with it must also be defined, if possible, the two rather ambiguous terms classicism and romanticism. What relationship, it may be asked, …

French Origins Of American Imagist Poetry, Beatrice Hope Zedler

Bachelors’ Theses

Every reader, I am sure, has at one time or another chanced upon a passage which instantly struck his attention by its resemblance to something else which he had read. He may have dismissed this occurrence as a merely accidental similarity, or he may have questioned whether one work had influenced the other. The latter has been my experience. In reading the poetry of Theophile Gautier, I was startled by its similarity to some of the poetry of Amy Lowell and by its adherence to two of the principles of Imagism, as set forth by Miss Lowell in the preface …

Twentieth Century Negro Poets, Sheila Higgins

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

According to Matthew Arnold an open mind is one of the chief essentials for true literary criticism. One is impressed by the truthfulness of this statement when he seeks to evaluate Negro poetry.

The term, Negro poetry, has several interpretations. In its most general sense, the one in which it is used in this paper, it means poetry written by Negroes on any subject. In a more restricted sense it refers to poetry that contains allusions, rhythms, sentiments and idioms more or less peculiar to the Negro. In its narrowest meaning it refers to poetry of racial protest and self-exhortation. …

Joseph Hilaire Belloc's Poetry, M. Clementia Schueler

Bachelors’ Theses

No one who knows modern literature will deny that Hilaire Belloc is one of the greatest of the English writers of today, and will give due honor for the excellent prose of his essays, biographies, and novels; but, undoubtedly, only a few will associate his name with modern poetry or accredit to him any poetical contribution of literary value. Why should this be so? Why should it seem strange to speak of Belloc as a poet? Is it because his poetry is inferior, obscure, or in any way new; or, is it not rather because his small collection of verse …

Alice Meynell: Her Literary Ideas And Her Relation To The English Essay, Gena Pauline Principati

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis is offered as a study of Alice Christina Meynell, her literary ideas in regard to prose, and her relation to the English essay. For the most part the illustrations have been selected from material which is available. Several of the quotations are contained in her unpublished works; some other quotations could not be attributed to any author, as they were spoken by Alice Meynell to her intimate friends. This paper was prepared after an examination of the available prose work of Mrs. Meynell and after reading several articles and books and chapters in other books on criticism.
