The Parasite In Renaissance Drama, Marian E. Hurley

English Language and Literature ETDs

Civilizations differ and change, but human characteristics do not. Because certain kinds of people and certain kinds of personality traits are common to mankind, types develop in literature. These types, or stock characters, can be seen appearing and reappearing in literature, especially in the drama and in the novel. It is upon one of these recognizable stock characters that this thesis will concentrate.

A Commentary On The 'Terrible' Sonnets Of Gerard Manley Hopkins, Sr. Paul Augusta Trudeau

English Language and Literature ETDs

My method of research was determined by the poet's method of writing. Hopkins does not use language as he finds it but wrings from words and word groupings as much function and meaning as possible. Thus, there are words in his poetry which fit poetically in context, but it is necessary to delve into their obsolete or other remote meanings to obtain an understanding of the precise idea expressed or to obtain its enriching implications. Because of this, my research began in the New English Dictionary, where even the seemingly obvious words were looked up to bring out the …

States Of Suspended Decay In The Works Of Edgar Allan Poe, Alan W. Stringer

English Language and Literature ETDs

It is the purpose of this study to examine a particular set of closely related physical and mental states of characters and special states of nature found in the imaginative works of Edgar Allan Poe. I have found it most convenient to refer to these conditions as states of suspended decay, through other critics have used various terms such as suspended animation, life-in-death, or the suspended death-in-life or life-in-death of reverie to distinguish what seems to be essentially the same phenomenon in Poe’s works Although it is difficult to settle upon a term, suspended decay is perhaps the most inclusive …

Gabriela Mistral And The Standards Of American Criticism, Mary Frances Baker Hernández

English Language and Literature ETDs

The purpose of this investigation of the work of Gabriela Mistral as seen by her American critics, and of the critics as they are revealed by their standards, has been to offer some insight into the problem of critical biases--an area which has become a burgeoning field of interest in the United States of the mid-twentieth century. In order to dramatize the similarities and disparities of critical viewpoint, the area of South American literature, as little known to North American readers and writers as is any literature in the Western tradition, was chosen, and from it, the production of a …

Hopkins The Critic: The Literary Judgement And Taste Of Gerard Manley Hopkins, With An Appendix On His Verse Theory, Myron Ochshorn

English Language and Literature ETDs

The purpose of this book is to bring together Gerard Manley Hopkins' literary criticism. At present his critical remarks are scattered at random throughout four volumes, the large volume containing his journals and papers, and the three volumes of his letters to Bridges, to Dixon, and to Patmore, Baillie, and others. These books of course contain much that has nothing to do with criticism, so that the reader interested particularly in his literary judgement and taste must undergo constant interruption and distraction. It has long been felt that a single volume would be desirable which separated out and arranged his …

Structure And Meaning In Endymion, G. Brian Sullivan

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

My interpretation is allegorical; it traces a consecutive quest through stages of human development to the attainment of an ideal. My approach is not, however, in the social or moral sphere but on the level of psychology.

When Endymion is read as a myth of individuation, a structural unity, a symbolic cohesion, and a thematic sameness are apparent which give the poem the organic quality that contributes to what I have called the unitary experience of the work of art. This can be defined as the aesthetic perception of an artistic phenomenon, produced consciously or unconsciously by the author with …

A Study Of The Aesthetic Statements In The Poetry Of Keats And Shakespeare, Leanna Boysko

Student Scholarship

This study explores the aesthetic and moral statements embedded within the poetry of John Keats and William Shakespeare, operating under the classical and Renaissance assumption that art exists for both instruction and delight. The author employs a methodology combining the history of ideas with close literary explication to demonstrate that these poets use their works as a means of knowing and living, rather than as ends in themselves. The analysis begins by examining the evolution of the muse, tracing how both writers move from conventional classical invocations toward more personal and transcendent sources of inspiration, such as Shakespeare’s fair young …

A Study Of The Aesthetic Statements In The Poetry Of Keats And Shakespeare, Leanna Boysko

Student Scholarship

This study explores the aesthetic and moral statements embedded within the poetry of John Keats and William Shakespeare, operating under the classical and Renaissance assumption that art exists for both instruction and delight. The author argues that poetic truth is implicit, emerging only from a comprehensive study of a poem's parts rather than explicit summaries. By employing a methodology that combines the history of ideas with close literary explication, the text examines how both poets move beyond conventional muses toward more transcendent sources of inspiration. 

Central to the analysis is the role of the muse and the "onlie begetter". In …
