A Study Of Some Relationships Between Late Renaissance Music And The Temple Of George Herbert, Rosalie J. Eggleston
A Study Of Some Relationships Between Late Renaissance Music And The Temple Of George Herbert, Rosalie J. Eggleston
English Language and Literature ETDs
Musical metaphor so permeates the poems of George Herbert's The Temple that no critic can afford to ignore it; yet no one has thus far attempted a full-length study of the relationships between music in the late Renaissance and The Temple. This dissertation proposes to fill this gap in Herbert criticism by presenting three aspects of the musical milieu which shaped the poet's esthetic: first, the tools of the artist; second, the parallels between Herbert’s poetry and affective music; and, third, the use of dialogue in music and in The Temple. Chapter I, "The Heritage of the Artist," includes a …
Samuel Johnson's Part In The Swiftian Tradition: A Study Of Johnson As Swift's Biographer, Critic, And Associate Moralist, Jordan Paul Richman
Samuel Johnson's Part In The Swiftian Tradition: A Study Of Johnson As Swift's Biographer, Critic, And Associate Moralist, Jordan Paul Richman
English Language and Literature ETDs
A study of Johnson's part in the Swiftian tradition begins with his Life of Swift, because his portrayal of Swift's life and work indicates the extent he is able to accept the permanence of Swift's work. His picture of Swift is not damaging as many believe. Johnson made use of earlier eighteenth-century biographical sketches, such as those written by Orrery, Delany, Pilkington, and Hawkesworth. In his synthesis of the early sketches, Hawkesworth is objective, sympathetic, and often close to Johnson's own style and sentiments. Though Johnson's Swift is a man of genius, unable to renounce his childish impulses and acute …
Paradise Lost And The State Of Innocence: A Comparison Of Plot, Characterization, Genre And Theme, Evelyn N. Saucier
Paradise Lost And The State Of Innocence: A Comparison Of Plot, Characterization, Genre And Theme, Evelyn N. Saucier
English Language and Literature ETDs
Previous studies of Paradise Lost and The State of Innocence have been concerned primarily with the question of rhyme and blank verse. Although the difference in versification is important, there are other areas of comparison which might also be profitably studied. The purpose of this paper is to examine the plots, characterization, and themes of these two works and to suggest several reasons for Dryden’s innovations. The plot of Dryden’s opera consists of incidents similar to those found in the epic. Dryden arranges his material in strict chronological order, discarding the “in media res” technique of Milton. Thus the sequence …

The Critical Career Of Allen Tate, 1922-1952., Vera Louise Norwood
The Critical Career Of Allen Tate, 1922-1952., Vera Louise Norwood
English Language and Literature ETDs
The thesis of this paper rests on the conviction that Allen Tate's essential contribution to letters, despite his connections with the Southern Fugitive and Agrarian movements, is of lasting national importance. He is a critic who, because he is also a modern poet, recognized and developed a new critical stance which was quite relevant to the concerns of other men of letters of his generation. In order to understand how this stance developed one must understand Tate's own loss of traditional values after World War I. This loss is best expressed in his poetry, but its implications are carried out …

Samuel Daniel: His Importance As A Literary Figure, Ronald Gaffney
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
An investigation of the literary conventions and an evaluation of the way they are employed by Daniel will help to provide some indication of his literary importance. To examine the traditional conventions he uses will, to some degree, indicate where Daniel fits into the literary society of the Elizabethan Age. A study of some of his innovations and a few of his distinctive ways of using traditional motifs will help to demonstrate his overall importance to literature.
Edgar Allan Poe's Criticism Of The Novel, James Gage
Edgar Allan Poe's Criticism Of The Novel, James Gage
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Edgar Allan Poe wrote forty-three critical reviews of novels during the period 1_835 to 1848 that he was associated with the various literary journals in the East. And, although his best known critical works concern themselves with the tale and with poetry, his statements regarding the novel are of sufficient quantity to merit scholarly research. Yet investigation of the major bibliographic sources reveals this to be not at all the case. Thus, this thesis snail endeavor to place some substance in the void of scholarship concerning Poe's criticism lf the novel with the hope that this substance might provide ample …

Goticism In Matthew G. Lewis's The Monk & Related Works, Larry Harrel
Goticism In Matthew G. Lewis's The Monk & Related Works, Larry Harrel
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Lewis repeatedly revealed himself to be concerned with effect: in his statement that he desired to increase effect by heightening the color of The Monk and in his statements concerning his goal in The Castle Spectre there is the recurrent theme of desire to horrify. This desire has been shown to grow out of the aesthetic ideal of sublimity which was developed in years preceding The Monk. The implicit defect in this concept is that it may be used to justify sensational works which lack lasting merit, as was largely the case with The Castle Spectre, not …

Milton And Cambridge : A New Look At An Old Attitude, Roy S. Riner
Milton And Cambridge : A New Look At An Old Attitude, Roy S. Riner
Master's Theses
From the insights cleaned from current research into John Milton's years as an undergraduate and a graduate student at Cambridge University, this writer has found an overwhelming amount of material dedicated to pointing out Milton's total lack of affection for that university. For the most part, those statements bearing on Milton's dislike for Cambridge are unequivocal. For example, one scholar has remarked that John Milton departed from the University in 1632 "weary and disguised" with the medieval, unbearable antiquated methods of the place. That same scholar continues with the statement that Milton's attitude toward Cambridge was "uniformly unfriendly" and that …

Rhetorical Model: An Aid For Clarifying Literary Terms And For Teaching Literature, Paul R. Allen
All Master's Theses
When he first begins to study literature, a student confronts a mass of terms. Some will sound familiar to him, others will sound completely foreign. Of course, this experience is not limited to literature courses and studies. Throughout school the student will confront new terms in science, mathematics, and other disciplines. His success will depend on how well he assimilates and correctly uses these new terms.

E.M. Forster’S Short Stories, Joan Meredith Kerns
All Master's Theses
This paper will discuss E. M. Forster's short stories, using George Meredith's theory of the comic spirit and plot as a basis for critical analysis. In addition, it will suggest that some of Forster's characteristic ideas, which may appear in his later novels, occur first, and in developed form, in his short stories.

Great Day. An Edition Of Great Day : The Autobiography Of Emma Speed Sampson, John Letcher Fugate
Master's Theses
Other than a reference to Emma Speed Sampson in a sentence to the editorial in a recent Saturday Evening Post and two informative articles about her by Gay Friddell in the Commonwealth and Lillian F. Trimmer in the Richmond Times Dispatch virtually no criticism has been done on this outstanding Southern local colorist. Although she wrote books in the "Carter Girs" series, the "Molly Brown" series, and the "Campfire Girls" series, the sequence of books for which Emma Speed Sampson will be best remembered is the "Miss Minerva" series, twelves books whose humorous pages reveal the way of life in …
