Pride And Penalty In Hawthorne's Tales, Violet Enid Behler Jan 1960

Pride And Penalty In Hawthorne's Tales, Violet Enid Behler

Graduate Thesis Collection

For Hawthorne pride is the root evil, for it is a voluntary separation by which man sets himself aloof from conmunication with himself, his fellow men, and God. Pride is an attitude which takes possession of him first as he allows himself to become blinded to his own faults and inadequacies, next as he ignores the virtues and claims of his fellow men, and eventually as he develops the bigoted idea that since he is superior to the rest of tho human race, he must make himself a place on the Godly level. He is now completely isolated from humanity …

William Faulkner As Moralist : A Fable, Jean Marie Anderson Jan 1959

William Faulkner As Moralist : A Fable, Jean Marie Anderson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In August, 1954, William Faulkner’s twentieth book of fiction, A Fable, was published. As might be expected by anyone knowing of Faulkner’s previous career and critical reception, the reviewers received it with widely divergent opinions. None seems to have found the book an unqualified success, the word “failure” occurs in many of the reviews, and a number confess inability to find motivation for various actions or the pertinence of certain episodes, More than one reviewer reveals quite obviously that he has not been able to follow the plot.

As a matter of fact, the runner is one the few main …

6. Schiller And Romanticism, Robert L. Bloom, Basil L. Crapster, Harold A. Dunkelberger, Charles C. Glatfelter, Richard T. Mara, Norman E. Richardson, W. Richard Schubart

Section XII: The Post-Enlightenment Period

To define romanticism is to attempt something which the romantics themselves insist cannot be done. But we can try to identify and then describe it, first pointing out what it is not. One stable element in romanticism has been its consistent rejection of its opposite, classicism. While no great piece of art has ever existed which did not contain elements of both romanticism and classicism, the partisans of these two different points of view have insisted that different emphases made it great. Where classicism emphasised analysis, objectivity harmony, wholeness, meaning, and discipline, romanticism stressed synthesis,subjectivity,disharmony, individuality,suggestiveness. and spontaneity.

An Analysis And Evaluation Of “Heart Of Darkness”, Robert James Dalziel Jan 1957

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 …

I hope this microphone works. If you have to listen to me I hope you can hear me. Once before at a gathering of a learned society seeing an upright gadget before me, I talked with extreme care directly into for half an hour, moving neither to the right nor to the le find as I went down from the platform that is was a lamp.
