Ideas And Aesthetics: An Analysis Of The Concept And Presentation Of Evil In Certain Great Novels Of The Nineteenth Century, Kenneth Lash May 1948

Ideas And Aesthetics: An Analysis Of The Concept And Presentation Of Evil In Certain Great Novels Of The Nineteenth Century, Kenneth Lash

English Language and Literature ETDs

As the title of this paper indicates, I assume the existence of an important relationship between the idea and the aesthetic expression of it. I believe that this relationship takes shape as an influence of content upon form. Certainly this is not a new hypothesis, but I have not yet seen a careful examination of it in connection with the novel. Nor is there, so far as I know, any general agreement upon the extent of this influence.

I have chosen to examine content in the light of its concept of evil. This is not a completely arbitrary choice...I found …


The Sex Factor In Blake's Cosmology, George Victor Mather May 1948

The Sex Factor In Blake's Cosmology, George Victor Mather

English Language and Literature ETDs

This paper makes no pretense of being all-embracing. Rather it follows a subsidiary factor in Blake's thought from its obscure origin to its unique fulfillment. It attempts to uncover in Blake's personal life the causes of his attitude toward sex, to visualize the effect this attitude had on his thought, and to point out the important place that sex occupies in Blake's completed cosmology.


Shelley's Ideas Of Immortality, James Lewis Lacour May 1948

Shelley's Ideas Of Immortality, James Lewis Lacour

English Language and Literature ETDs

Shelley is generally regarded as a great lyricist, and indeed he was; yet even a superficial exploration of his works will show that he was greatly interested in, and concerned with, religious and philosophical subjects. Few critics, however, have even mentioned the poet as philosopher, much less attempted to understand his varying and, at times, baffling philosophical expressions. This study is an attempt to trace the evolution of Shelley's ideas concerning immortality and to conclude, if possible, his final stand on the subject.

Significant Modern Interpretations Of Joan Of Arc., Virginia Quarrier Wynn Jan 1948

Significant Modern Interpretations Of Joan Of Arc., Virginia Quarrier Wynn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Five hundred years have passed, and Joan remains a living breathing presence, when those others of her day have become little more than names, a museum of labelled shadows. What is the explanation of this continued interest in a young girl who lived for only nineteen short years in the first part of the fifteenth century? Before attempting to answer this question, let us briefly summarize the facts of her life: she was born, it is believed, on January 6, 1412 in Domremy, a small town in north-eastern France. There, at the age of thirteen, she first heard voices and …

Certain Evidences Of Classical Greek Influence On Shelley, George Robert Dietz Jan 1948

Certain Evidences Of Classical Greek Influence On Shelley, George Robert Dietz

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

English poetry in particular has received both enrichment and motivation from classical sources. The case of Percy Bysshe Shelley, nineteenth century English Romantic poet, provides an excellent illustration of this point. This study will attemp to place before the reader evidence of Shelley's debt to ancient Greece as revealed in his life and his poetry, with particular emphasis upon the influences of Aeschylus and Plato.
