Primitivism In The Faerie Queene, Andrew R. Segura F.S.C.

English Language and Literature ETDs

Renaissance primitivism may be described as a literary interest in and an occasional preference for 1) past times as possessing sturdier virtues and better general conditions for the good life; an interest manifest especially in the admiration of a classical golden age, in a sense of loss of the innocence of Eden, and in the memories of the glory of the national past (contrasted with the baseness of certain aspects of the present); 2) a more contented, less sophisticated life providing leisure and opportunity for study and contemplation in such forms as the life of the shepherd or even that …

The Origins And Importance Of The Initiation Story In Twentieth Century British And American Fiction, Robert S. Bickham

English Language and Literature ETDs

The third and final advantage of the method of explication is that it will, I hope, increase the respect of the readers of serious fiction for the short story as a significant art form. For well over a decade now poems and novels have been subjected to the severest critical scrutiny, while the short story has received but little. In fact one of the reasons this study was undertaken was because of the appalling paucity of criticism of the short story. Just as explication has highlighted the artistic excellence of many poems and novels, so it may help to modify …

The Semantics Of Stress And Pitch In English, George A. Meyer

Faculty Honor Lectures

Have your ears, not to mention your sensibilities, and your reverence for long established familiar rhythms and meanings been quite rudely jolted?

If each individual present here were to read these well-known lines from the printed page, or recite them from memory, I'm sure that you would, in each case, almost invariably reproduce them with the same stress, pitch, and rhythm patterns. There is comfort and relaxation of mind in rolling out the familiar phrases, with the stresses, relaxation from stress, and variations in pitch, that make them full of meaning.

Contrariwise, when you heard them spoken as I read …

James Mellor: English Convert And Handcart Pioneer - A Biography, Edna J. Gregerson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For many years the descendants of John and James Mellor -- a large family who have made contributions to the cultural and educational activities of their various communities -- have been desirous of preserving for their posterity, and others, a record of the Mellors. Several years ago Amy Mellor Howe initiated the project by compiling and editing the first Mellor History. The foreword in her book wherein she "...hoped that the information and data herein contained may form the nucleus for further research..." served as the incentive to continue the project.

It is planned to incorporate the following biography into …

A Method Of Structural Analysis Of The Novel, Clinton F. Hurley Jr.

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study is intended to be a contribution to the aesthetics of the novel. It is motivated by the assumption that the main purpose of criticism of the novel is to help the reader perceive, understand, and evaluate novels and that the main purpose of aesthetics of the novel is to help the critic understand the principles behind perceiving, understanding, and evaluating novels. According to this assumption, the major function of aesthetics, then, is to supply the critic with a consistent theory of art and with a practical method of criticism. In one sense, criticism is applied aesthetics, and aesthetics …

Symbolic Texture In A Selection Of The Short Fictions Of D.H. Lawrence, Robert L. Stallman

English Language and Literature ETDs

Symbolic texture, a combination of two terms outlined above, uses images generally thought of as textural to form groups of symbols that support the main theme of a story and provide for its underlying unit. This element or quality is in the work; it is not the feeling or "radiance" arising from the reader's reception of the work.

The stories I have chosen to illustrate symbolic texture and to trace its variations in Lawrence's work are: Odour of Chrysanthemums, Daughters of the Vicar, The Horse Dealer's Daughter, The Fox, The Virgin and the Gypsy. These …

A Navaho Myth: The Hero Twins (A Psychoanalytic Evaluation), Allen S. Ehrlich

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

THE MYTH. Changing Woman (or Turquoise Woman) gives birth to twins, the Sun being their father. The older boy was Nayenesgani the Slayer, and the younger was called Child of Water. The Sun warned his wife Changing Woman to hide her sons from the giant Yeitso. She dug a hole in the floor, and every time she heard Yeitso coming she put them in it and covered the hole with a flat stone. The great giant came often for he was in love with her and jealous of the Sun, but she kept the little ones hidden. The children grow …

The Dramas Of Byron : An Evaluation, Welford Dunaway Taylor

Master's Theses

After considering Byron's relation to the theatre as an amateur actor and committeeman, viewing his dramatic concepts, and comparing him to other poets of his own day who attempted dramas, it can be clearly seen that both from an acting and a literary standpoint, his dramas are of an inferior quality. There can be no doubt of Byron's disappointment and disillusionment, as he had devoted so much time and energy at the prime of his life to them. At first he had said that this work was not for the stage, wishing all the time that he might capture the …

A Survey Of The Novels Of Charles Brockden Brown, George C. Longest

Master's Theses

Before 1790 there had been little fiction written in America. Since Charles Brockden Brown was the first American to rely on his pen for an income, the term "Father of American Literature" belongs logically to him.

The Las Palomas Manuscript Of Los Pastores, Elena Bernal

English Language and Literature ETDs

The Los Pastores, or Shepherd's Play is the traditional Nativity play which is performed yearly during the Christmas season in those areas where the Spanish-speaking folk still hold to the traditional pattern of celebrating the Nochebuena or Christmas Eve. This genre of folk drama extends over a wide area of the American Southwest: in New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, California, and parts of Mexico. Particularly in New Mexico in the more or less isolated but rapidly changing Spanish-speaking communities, the Spanish miracle play has managed to survive as an expression of sincere, religious devotion.

The Empedoclean Rationale Of Matthew Arnold: An Interpretation Of The Ethical Problem In Empedocles On Etna, William E. Maher

English Language and Literature ETDs

The dramatic poem entitled Empedocles on Etna, which is set in ancient Greece, was first published anonymously in 1852 when Matthew Arnold was thirty years of age. It was contained in a slender volume called Empedocles on Etna and Other Poems by A. Previous to that, he had published only one collection of verse. This appeared in 1849 with the title The Strayed Reveller and Other Poems.

Arnold's decision to place the poem in a Greek setting was probably more sentimental than aesthetic and proceeded from a dislike for his own age...The use of a Greek setting has a …

Moral And Spiritual Values In A High School Anthology Of Literature, Terrence Eugene Kelsay

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

For some years now the need for the emphasis of moral and spiritual values in our public schools has been recognized by the Kentucky Department of Education. The department has given encouragement to numerous research projects and summer workshops held for the purpose of finding an answer to the problem of emphasizing moral and spiritual values in public education. The concern for this need has informally become known as the “Kentucky Movement.”

This study was not undertaken with the thought of introducing new programs in our high schools. The teaching of moral and spiritual values should be done through the …
