Dryden's Adaptations Of Shakespeare, Massie C. Stinson Jr.

Master's Theses

It is the purpose of this study to discuss Dryden's adaptations of Shakespeare's The Tempest, Antony and Cleopatra, and Troilus and Cressida.

The Motif Of The Grotesque In The Alexandria Quartet Of Lawrence Durrell, Barbara J. Marta

Graduate Student Research Papers

Lawrence Durrell has written The Alexandria Quartet in a form he considers modern and which he has labeled a "continuum." In this continuum the first three novels of the quartet occur at the same place in time and treat the same characters and incidents with the point of view and interpretation changing in each of the novels; the fourth novel then constitutes a sequel. Throughout this general framework of abstract time established by the continuum, the motif of the grotesque is woven, constantly evident, attempting to force an awareness of the sordid aspects of humanity as well as those of …

The Ceremony Of Innocence., Janusz Kozikowski

English Language and Literature ETDs

The earliest conceptions I had of The Ceremony of Innocence were almost purely structural and centered around the desire to create a completely autonomous experience, dependent on its own specific laws, and not a derivation from, or a representation of, psychological reality. At the same time, I wanted to design a theatrical spectacle which would be as amusing and enjoyable as a puppet show. Both of these concerns led far from the usual concerns of similitude and psychological realism. I wanted to create not only an atmosphere of isolation and disassociation which would ease the audience’s usual strain for interpretation, …

The Lord Of The Rings: A Christian Refounding Of The Political Order, Donald L. Reinken

Tolkien Journal

Examines the “severely classical moral doctrine” of The Lord of the Rings; discusses stewardship as “the proper subordination of Power to Care”; and approves of Tolkien’s “veiling of the Divine” by keeping overt religious references out of the work as a means of leading readers to understanding and affirmation. Reprinted from Christian Perspectives, Winter 1966.

An Evaluation Of The Autobiographical Interpretation Of Samson Agonistes, Edward P. Crockett

Master's Theses

Certainly, every reader of Samson Agonistes who is at all familiar with the circumstances of Milton's life, his thought, and the history of his times has been attracted by obvious parallels between 'the poet and certain aspects or his dramatic creation, and he may understandably assume that the presentation or the sufferings of Samson constitute intentional, hidden autobiography. To assume even the obvious, however, is something too blithely done. A little research into this area of Miltoniana will reveal to him that scholarly opinion concerning Samson Agonistes and autobiography is greatly varied and that some scholars are inclined not only …

The Escape Motif In The Modern American Novel: Mark Twain To Carson Mccullers, Samuel Bluefarb

English Language and Literature ETDs

The scope of this study is selective rather than comprehensive. The works discussed are probably the more significant and typical examples of the theme of flight, or escape, in the modern American novel. Many more works might have been included which reveal this particular motif, but the result would have been repetitious rather than revealing, massive rather than searching, broad rather than deep, in the nature of a survey rather than a probe. To compensate partially for any works neglected, omitted, or unconsciously slighted, I have included a two-part appendix. This appendix is divided into American novels of the pre-Twain …

Albert Camus's Requiem Pour Une Nonne Translated And Annotated, With Introductory Materials, Donald J. Pattow

English Language and Literature ETDs

The original purpose of this translation was twofold: to make available in English a hitherto untranslated work by Albert Camus; and, since Camus adapted, not merely translated, William Faulkner’s Requiem for a Nun, to afford a unique comparative study of these two modern writers.

The Narrator's View Of Hester Prynne:A Study Of Narrative Commentary About Hester Prynne In Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter., Stephanie Lee Mitchell

English Language and Literature ETDs

On the evening of February 3, 1850 Nathaniel Hawthorne completed The Scarlet Letter. Upon finishing the last scene he read, or “tried to read it, rather” to his wife, but found this difficult task.

. . . my voice swelled and heaved, as if I were tossed up and down on an ocean as it subsides after a storm. But I was in a very nervous state then, having gone through a great diversity of emotion while writing it for many months.

The “great diversity of emotion” which impelled Hawthorne’s unrelenting work on the romance was not to remain his …
