The Loneliness Of Thomas Wolfe: A Note On Form, Keith C. Wilson

English Language and Literature ETDs

To better accomplish my objective--to show form in Wolfe's novels--I have related form to the portrayal of loneliness because loneliness is the central theme of the novels. In other words, I have attempted to show how he modified his style to reflect the mood of loneliness. These modifications are shown in terms of plot structure, plot rhythms, and the resolving forces. Within the resolving forces, I have sub-divided resolution into resolvement by time, philosophical resolvement, and poetical resolvement. The terms used throughout the study are either my own or those of E.M. Forster's book Aspects Of The Novel, and, so …

The Influence Of Anton Chekhov On Katherine Mansfield, Gary L. Tate

English Language and Literature ETDs

It will be my purpose to make a careful study of the short stories of both writers in order to determine whether or not a relationship does exist and, if it does, to determine the exact nature of this relationship. If there is a similarity, is it in plot, style, technique, or in general attitude toward life?

I shall further attempt to determine whether or not Mansfield was merely a facile imitator or whether she made some real and individual contribution to the short fiction of her time. Certain readers have felt that Mansfield did imitate Chekhov and have pronounced …

The Critics Of Wuthering Heights, Paul M. Reigstad

English Language and Literature ETDs

The study will deal with the history of criticism of the novel from 1847 to the present time with special emphasis on the contemporary attitudes which explain the unreasoned damnation under which it was smothered for so many years.

Study In The Development Of English Satire In The Sixteenth Century, Vashti Boddie

Senior Scholar Papers

In the literary tradition of sixteenth-century England, a new mode of expression arose with the development of formal satire. The pattern branded off into two directions: that which followed the Piers Plowman tradition in the mid 1500's and that which followed the classical models of Horace and Juvenal in the last decade of the century. The latter phase led so inevitably to repercussions among literary and political circles that public authorities had to intervene to stop the flow of libelous satiric literature. Due to the controversial nature of the classical phase, it is this tradition which I shall concentrate on. …

E. Haldeman-Julius: A Critical Evaluation, Kenneth Donald Mccracken

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

One of the most controversial editors that ever worked in Kansas was E. Haldeman-Julius of Girard. It is the attempt of this work to follow the works of this writer, editor, and publisher from his first beginnings with struggling Socialist newspapers until his death In 1951. A background of his early life in Philadelphia is not neglected. The author was fortunate in that the library of Kansas State Teachers College contains many of the late publisher's works which were the principal sources of information for this paper. In addition, books and magazine articles gave factual information as well as subjective …

Traditionalism In The Novels Of Edith Wharton, Ellen Glasgow, And Willa Cather As Controlled By Their Personalities, Margaret Aldridge

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Edith Wharton, Ellen Glasgow, and Willa Cather are often mentioned together as traditionalists, the supposition being that their common interest was inspired by similar forces; all women, all of the same era, all greatly appreciative of many of the same values, and all doing most of their outstanding work during their middle and late years.

It has become a convenience of criticism and scholarship to consider authors as belonging to certain schools. It has also been a convenience to study the origins of these schools as social phenomena having more to do with a direction of society as a whole …

The Heroes Of Byron: A Study Of Their Origin, Development, And Meaning In The Poetry Of George Gordon, Lord Byron, Robert Lester Thomas

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Lord Byron was very much concerned with the problems of immortality and fame. Perhaps his greatest single theme in poetry is human greatness. An especial aspect of human greatness, namely of heroes in spirit and in action, is, of course, one of the most permanent and best known features of Byron's poetry, the creation of the Byronic hero" being one of the poet's most outstanding contribu- tions to world literature. This study is concerned with all of the heroes Lord Byron created. It is to be a study of their origin, development, and meaning in the poetry of Byron. Lord …

Ernest Hemingway, Matador Without A Cape: The Influence Of The Bullfight Upon The Writing Of Ernest Hemingway, William L. Pittman

Graduate Thesis Collection

A basic premise of this paper is Hemingway's definition of bullfighting as a tragic art form. Americans have been so conditioned to view any sort of contest as sport that it is virtually impossible for us to consider the bullfight in other terms. Once accepted as tragedy, however, the implications of the bullfight as an influence upon Hemingway become manifold. It must be understood that this paper is not meant to imply that the bullfight is the only influence, or even the most paramount, for it is to be recognized that any artist derives from many sources, both external and …

The Luxury Of Doubt: A Study Of The Relationship Between Imagery And Theme In Emily Dickinson's Poetry, Norman Gregor

English Language and Literature ETDs

Emily Dickinson's protagonists, when they are most moving and have the greatest complex reality, are caught between the agony of death and the agony of life. Analogous terms are non-being and being, renunciation and experience, unreality and reality, sterility and fruition, extinction and redemption. Renunciation is a major pattern, but in the act of renunciation the Dickinson protagonist may be discerned grasping for fulfillment. Similarly, when she strains toward fulfillment, she can simultaneously yearn for negation. Her reaching two ways at once is manifest in her qualifications. When the subject is life, her talk is tinged with death; and when …
