The Indian In Southwestern Fiction, Ella Brice Morris Kennedy

English Language and Literature ETDs

To the writer of fiction who has his ear to the ground, the recent multiplication of books in Indian fictional literature in the Southwest offers both a hint and a challenge. For years the growth of Indian fiction in the Southwest was slow and its product unimportant, and this in spite of the fact that excellent examples were set by both Helen Hunt Jackson and Adolf Bandelier . Perhaps the primitive mind was thought too rudimentary for the complex psychological studies popular in the closing years of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth.

Sherwood Anderson: An Appreciation Of His Life And Fiction, Kenneth Davenport

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

It has been only in the past four decades that Americans have awakened to the fact that they could have a literature which is not dependent on any foreign country, particularly that of England. It has been only in this period of time that an interest has been awakened in the history of American letters and the reasons for their development along their specific lines. Without attempting to assign causes, it is at once in evidence that the literature of America, with only two exceptions, to the beginnings of realism is strongly tied to the literature of Europe, particularly to …

A Discussion Of The Rogue Novel La Celestina With Special Reference To The Social Conditions Of The Time, Blanche Todes

Bachelors’ Theses

Because the picaresque novel is so intimately connected with the Spanish people, and so clearly expresses their spirit, I have always been extremely interested in this genre. Therefore, I have written on the Celestina because it is the forerunner of this genre and is one of the most worth while and important works in Spanish literature.

The Political Ideas In Colonial Literature, 1607-1800, Alberta J. Mckenna

Bachelors’ Theses

Over three centuries ago at Jamestown, Virginia, a group of Englishmen settled and erected a few rude huts on the edge of the primeval forest. Here one must go to find the beginning of English occupancy in America, and since it proved to be a permanent occupancy one must of necessity find the early beginning of literature - American literature.

Twentieth Century Negro Poets, Sheila Higgins

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

According to Matthew Arnold an open mind is one of the chief essentials for true literary criticism. One is impressed by the truthfulness of this statement when he seeks to evaluate Negro poetry.

The term, Negro poetry, has several interpretations. In its most general sense, the one in which it is used in this paper, it means poetry written by Negroes on any subject. In a more restricted sense it refers to poetry that contains allusions, rhythms, sentiments and idioms more or less peculiar to the Negro. In its narrowest meaning it refers to poetry of racial protest and self-exhortation. …

Irving Babbitt As Critic And Humanist, C. Carroll Hollis

Bachelors’ Theses

To become legendary while living is, generally speaking, unfortunate. Such as Irving Babbitt's lot. Probably his death will gradually evoke a legend of a more accurate and objective kind. He was by many regarded as a conscientious pedant, and was never what might be called "popular". It must be admitted that his gift was of a nature that has always made for unpopularity.

William Dean Howells, His Realism And Relation To Our Contemporaries, Joseph Dzwinel

Bachelors’ Theses

In Howells novels v,e find liberalism, a deep sympathy with the "little man", hatred of plutocracy, and abundance of esthetic virtue, and a critique of industrial capitalism by which we are coming to test Howells mental calibre. The novels with all their virtues, ease of style, urbanity, irony, humanity, sharp dissent from the ideas and practices of our commercial world, lend themselves very gracefully to study of their influence on contemporary literature and contemporary reading tastes. The purpose of this study is to show these influences.

Typical Women Characters In Three Of Gerhart Hauptmann's Naturalistic Dramas, Florence Cohen

Bachelors’ Theses

Innumerable papers dealing with various phases of Hauptmann's works have been written. Many, if not, all of them emphasize the story of his Dramas, the construction from the standpoint of naturalism, etc. Few, if any, however, have stressed Hauptmann as a character delineator, nor have they emphasized his treatment of the women. It is for this reason that the writer wishes to discuss three of Hauptmann 's Naturalistic Social Dramas emphasizing the treatment of the women with special regard to heredity and environment.
