The Great Taos Bank Robbery And Other Recollections, Anthony G. Hillerman

English Language and Literature ETDs

The essays included here fit the definition of that word more in its literal sense as "attempts" than in the literary meaning given the term by the art of Montaigne and Bacon. Specifically, they are attempts to express my views of the town of Taos, of the village of Pecos, of Northern New Mexico politics, and of two hunts for the knowledge of early man on the Llano de Albuquerque and for the source of a disease in the Pecos Wilderness Area. They presume of the reader neither special knowledge of, nor interest in, their subjects. They seek instead to …

The Unifying Theme Of Ben Jonson's Works As Shown In Sejanus And Volpone, Dorothy Mumford Logan

English Language and Literature ETDs

Jonson always has a central—and single—argument or truth: namely, men do not live by reason; on the contrary, they only pretend to reason, thus causing the world of folly or evil. Nor was this concept peculiar to Jonson. The presence of it in Discoveries is enough to mark it as established in critical tradition. Furthar, Jonson’s view of the nature of man is traceable from the classical concept of “right reason” to the Renaissance view of man as a being endowed with a divine reason which is continually at variance with his “will” to err. Almost any general book no …

In Search Of The Elizabethan Woman, Melba Mcdonald Burrows

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The modern woman, who analyzes every detail of her existence by means of the written word, finds the Elizabethan woman an enigma that defies a satisfactory solution. She received the finest education available in her day, and she lived during some of the stirring events in English history; yet she has left us almost no written record of her personal life and her attitude toward the world she knew. We catch glimpses of her materialistic life in the detailed accounts in which she recorded the financial transactions affecting her husband’s properties, but we do not know how she regarded the …

Jack London: Master Craftsman Of The Short Story, King Hendricks

Faculty Honor Lectures

In November of 1898 Jack London, aged 22, sold his first short story, "To the Man on Trail," to Overland Monthly for the sum of $5. Three months later The Black Cat magazine paid him $40 for "A Thousand Deaths." This was the beginning of a writing career that in 17 years was to produce 149 short stories, not including his tramping experiences which he published under the title of The Road, 19 novels, and a number of essays. If all were accumulated and published, they would fill 50 volumes. Besides this, he wrote a number of newspaper articles (war …

Hawthorne's Magnetic Chain: The Achievement Of Humanity, Anne Bail Howard

English Language and Literature ETDs

In May of 1840 Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote to his fiancée, Sophia Peabody, the observation that while “lights and shadows are continually flitting across my inward sky… it is dangerous to look too minutely into such phenomena,” because, as he continued, “it is apt to create a substance where at first there was a mere shadow.”

The Theatre Of The Absurd, Edith Beirne Brooks

Master's Theses

An introduction to the Theatre of the Absurd confronts the viewer with a meaningless, chaotic situation. Ludicrous people mouth meaningless dialogue, and the "plot" seems to move in ever diminishing concentric circles. One is stunned by the nothingness and the void which accompanies the termination of stage action. Why was it written? What was the author trying to convey? These are questions which fill the minds of the audience. The purpose was not monetary, nor was it sensationalism, because both of these could be achieved in a more expedient manner. Thoughtful study and exploration are demanded to answer one's questions …

George Santayana: A Critical Anomaly, Carol Ann Erickson

Student Work

The events of George Santayana*s life provide a valuable introduction to any study of his works. Though it cannot fceally be said that his life was filled with the sort of excitement or intrigue which makes for suspenseful biography, his life was one of steady productivity and ever increasing fame, first as poet, then as philosopher, essayist, critic, and novelist.
