Psychic Wholeness In Blake And Jung, Walter B. Gallant

Honors Theses

There is no doubt that for most modern readers the work of William Blake is an enigma. I should like to suggest that the work of the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung offers one way to bring a sense of order and meaning to Blake's work.

Sir Thomas Wyatt And The Struggle Of The "Weried Mynde", Susan Eichenfeld Ashton

Dissertations

When the poetry of Sir Thomas Wyatt has attracted critical attention at all, it has been both praised and blamed for a variety of reasons, often the wrong reasons. Wyatt's role in the historical development of English verse, as the poet who introduced such forms as the sonnet, the rondeau, and terza-rima into English poetry, has been emphasized, while the originality and innovativeness of his poetry have been largely neglected,

Male Maturation In Selected Fiction Of Dylan Thomas, Gretchen Jacobson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Dylan Thomas wrote numerous short stories which reveal a completely different aspect of his writing and thinking from that of the highly symbolic, often existential nature of his poetry. He was able, in his short stories, to recall and tell the many-faceted feelings of a boy as he grows from early childhood into young adulthood. Along with the pleasures and hurts experienced, the mischief involved in, and the mistakes made in the process of maturing, Dylan Thomas reveals an underlying humorous, irreverent quality and attitude which seems to imply that the one who does not take himself too seriously can …

Richard Brautigan: Youth Fishing In America, Cheryl Walker

Scripps Faculty Publications and Research

Richard Brautigan is an epiphenomenon in American literature. He seems to represent some sort of insubstantial alternative. While the academy of letters reads Beckett, Borges, and Nabokov, the kids read Brautigan...His appeal consists primarily in an irrepressible optimism (probably the brand of a woodsy Pacific Northwest background), a style flashing with artifice, and a total disregard for effete university culture. Mr. Brautigan is not himself the product of American higher education or of much formal training of any kind. Furthermore, his fund of simplicity and optimism is a relief for some from the profound despair of writers like Beckett. To …

The Mannerist Painter And Donne : A Correlation Of The Arts, Christine Steinbach

Honors Theses

There is a certain equality of painting and poetry expressed by Horace in his descriptive phrase ut pictura poesis. The implication is that the arts are practically interchangeable, one may describe the other, and the genius of each arises from the same source. Some of the best evidences of similar inspiration and perception within these two arts can be illustrated through a comparison of Italian Mannerist painting and Metaphysical poetry as embodied in various works of John Donne. Although these works are separated by chronological time and geographical location, they are, nevertheless, the product of mutual attitudes and stress common …

Sherwood Anderson And The Art Of American Autobiography, Linda S. Bergmann

Honors Papers

This paper will consider autobiography from these various perspectives in search of a means of evaluation of autobiography in terms of the restrictions and potentials of the genre. The intention, the truth, the theme, or the formal value--alone-- are insufficient for a valid conception of the genre. Their interaction is what makes some autobiographies more than historical curiosities--what make them successful and enduring works of art. This study of American autobiography will focus on Sherwood Anderson's autobiography and autobiographical novel, A Storyteller's Story and Tar. Anderson deals with the familiar themes of American literature and American autobiography : the individual …

The Group Theatre: A Reflection Of The Theatre In The Thirties, Abby Eiferman Schor

Honors Papers

Sing us a song of social significance Or you can sing until you're blue Let meaning shine in every line Or we won't love you. This snatch of lyrics, sung in the International Ladies Garment Workers. Union revue Pins and Needles of 1937 captures an important aspect of the literary spirit of the 1930's. This decade was marked by a tendency of artists towards political and social commitment, a time when the reconstruction of American society and the menace of Fascism was a cause celebre to which artists could rally. American artists had always been interested in changing society, or …

Character Development In Representative Victorian Novels, George T. Mitchell

All Master's Theses

This is a study of how characters are developed in five

representative Victorian novels. Character is studied on the

basis of a moral stance which motivates actions. Because the

concept of the moral stance is primarily dependent upon the

individual character, the characters in this paper are studied

in relation to themselves. There are many events and relationships

in the novels which are not discussed here , aspects of

the respective narratives which would illumine other interpretations

but which are irrelevant to this particular study.

Aldo Leopold's "Land Ethic": An Ecological Extension Of Albert Schweitzer's "Reverence For Life", John Lee Weaver

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

As a member of the world community, and in the process of becoming a professional ecologist, I have begun a search for a personal ecological ethic to guide my actions. Two of the paths I have taken in my search are Albert Schweitzer's Reverence for Life ethic and Aldo Leopold's Land Ethic. They are relevant because each has extended the scope of ethics beyond Homo Sapiens. Their thoughts, with similarities and dissimilarities, form herein my travels.

Paradise Regained: An Intellectual Drama Of The Nature Of Being And Freedom, Michael Biehl

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The major problem confronting a student of Paradise Regained is to relate theology, philosophy, and drama. Critics, in the main, have either oversimplified the issues, or have given lopsided interpretations of the poem, emphasizing one aspect to the detriment of others of significance. Consequently, as noted in the Introduction, our study examines Paradise Regained's central theological and philosophical equation of Being and Freedom. Furthermore, our mode of approach is a running commentary and analysis to help us trace the poem's developing intellectual drama. Book I sets the stage for the conflict of ideas. During the first council with his cohorts, …
