"Symmetric History": A Study Of Thought Patterns In The Prose Works Of Thomas Hardy, Edith H. Peterson

English Language and Literature ETDs

The history of Hardy criticism may be divided into three main categories. The first of these grew out of the natural curiosity of Hardy readers regarding the exact locations of his disguised places; and thus there appeared, in the early twentieth century, a fair number of books identifying "Casterbridge," "Weatherbury," "Egdon Heath," and all the rest of Hardy's thinly veiled towns, villages, and natural features of the West of England. Herman Lea's authoritative Thomas Hardy's Wessex (1913) put an end to place-hunting; for there could be little added to this exact and painstaking achievement which answered every question about the …

Milton's Conception Of Original Justice And Of Original Sin, J. Franklin Murray S. J.

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study was begun with the conviction that a systematic exposition of the theology of original sin would throw new light on the meaning of Paradise Lost. The traditional and the Reformational conceptions of the conditions of innocent and fallen man examined here will provide, I hope, a basis for determining more accurately both Milton's own ideas and his adaption of them to his artistic purpose. Recent criticism has raised important questions about the meaning of Paradise Lost: Were Adam and Eve really fallen before they fell? Was their fall a "climax of self-realization," a maturation, or was it a …

Shapeshifting And Associated Phenomena As Conventions Of The Middle English Metrical Romances, Clarence Edward Long

English Language and Literature ETDs

One of the most popular and vigorous genres of medieval English literature is the metrical romance. For more than three hundred years it was the chief literary fare of nearly all classes of Englishmen, from the most literate like Chaucer, who could afford to burlesque the type, to the illiterate who derived enjoyment merely by listening to a retelling of these adventurous, chivalric, romantic tales. Each century since the fifteenth has seen more or less of a revival of interest in the metrical romance. The sixteenth century Englishmen, if he could read at all, whetted his nationalist spirit by reading …

George Orwell And The Problems Of The Contemporary Writer, Mary Chappell Sidney

Graduate Thesis Collection

Orwell is painfully aware of almost all the difficulties under which the present day writer labors. These range from the squalid reality of poverty (espeoially true in his own case) to a serious uncertainty over the nature and purpose of literature. However, four problems seem to stick in his mind and he returns to them continually- They are (1) the difficulty of maintaining one's intellectual and artistiointegrity in a world whioh increasingly threatens personal freedom; (2) the neoessity of finding a balance between the claims of art and those of propaganda in literary works; (3) the steady deterioration of the …

A Comparative Analysis Of The Characters Of Two Dramatic King Lears : Shakespeare And Bottomley, Doyne Joseph Mraz

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It has been the purpose of this study to make a comparative analysis of the most significant characters in two selections of dramatic literature: Gordon Bottomley’s King Lear’s Wife and William Shakespeare’s King Lear. The significant characters are Goneril and Regan, the “evil influence” in both plays; the two Lears, the “neutral influence” in both plays; and Hygd and Cordelia in King Lear’s Wife and King Lear, respectively. Hygd and Cordelia are the “honorable influence” in the stories.

It has been the further purpose of this thesis to delete from both plays all subplots which do not directly pertain to …

An Analysis And Evaluation Of “Heart Of Darkness”, Robert James Dalziel

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Al though a major part of this thesis is devoted to the analysis and evaluation of a particular work of narrative literature, it is obvious that such an analysis presupposes the existence of a general theory of literature. A critic's theory of literature determines, to some extent, the kind of criteria he may use to evaluate a particular work. In addition, the theory of literature held by the critic may have a direct influence upon his system of analysis. For these reasons, Chapter II has been given over to an elucidation of this writer's views about the nature and function …

Aspects Of The Epic In Eskimo Folklore, Walter Jack Arron

English Language and Literature ETDs

The purpose of this paper is to examine the epic as it appears in Eskimo folklore and to delineate its most prominent characteristics. ... So far as I know, my study is the only one of its kind concerning the Eskimo epic. The evidence I have collected does not support a hypothesis that there is an Eskimo epic in the generic sense of the term ... However, in the body of Eskimo folklore there are tales which some collectors have labeled epic and there are others in unclassified collections which have epic characteristics. These tales are the Eskimo epic as …
