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.

The American Short Story From 1865 To 1900, Wendel W. Crosby

Bachelors’ Theses

Toe purpose of this thesis is to trace the development of the .American short story from about 1865 to about 1900. I propose to do this by dividing the material studied into four periods and then to weigh, examine, and compare the chief exponents of the American short story during each period.

Harris and …

The Ethics Of Peter Abelard With Introduction And Translation, William Farrell Hurley

Bachelors’ Theses

It appears after exhaustive search that no complete English translation of Abelard's Ethics is available. Accordingly, not all students of philosophy have been able to use the primary source to study the system of ethics introduced by Abelard. The secondary sources or commentaries in English in most instances do not offer sufficient material for a complete understanding and appreciation of the innovation made by Abelard in the field of ethics. To furnish a translation of his Ethics is therefore the fundamental purpose of this thesis.

A Comparison Of The Dramatic Technique Of "Antony And Cleopatra" With That Of "Macbeth," "Hamlet," And "King Lear.", Catherine Cunningham

Bachelors’ Theses

It is the purpose of this paper to discover the formula for a typical Shakespearean tragedy by an analysis of four of the later tragedies, "Hamlet," "Macbeth," "King Lear," and "Antony and Cleopatra." Knowing that Shakespeare employed various dramatic devices to secure his effects, I propose to find out in what way his dramatic technique in the play "Antony and Cleopatra" differs from that of the three preceding plays.

By examining the technical divisions of each Shakespearean tragedy and the use of the various dramatic elements which Shakespeare employed, I believe the outstanding differences in the dramatic technique will be …

The Treatment Of Nature In The Poetry Of Coleridge, Esther S. Brenton

Graduate Thesis Collection

The treatment of nature by the English Romantic poets of the nineteenth century is commonly thought to be confined to the poetry of Wordsworth. Although the bulk of Wordsworth's poetry is concerned with nature, a study of the poetry of the period reveals that the other great Romanticists were also interested in nature. This thesis is written to show how great a factor the treatment of nature is in the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

The Influence Of The Greek Drama Upon Eugene O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra", Nancy Moore

Graduate Thesis Collection

In his "Mounring Becomes Electra", Eugene O'Neill has taken a great and renowed classical theme and has given it a modern interpretation in the light of his interest in Freudian psychology. In this thesis I have tried to show first the chief details in connection with the Orestea theme as it is given to us by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. I have then analyzed the characters in the Greek dramas since Eugene O'Neill's primary interest in his character.

Handbook On Teacher Reading In Junior And Senior High School, Reba Galvin Mack

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Two thousand high school students in Wisconsin were tested recently in reading; one-third of them tested as sixth grade or below in reading ability.¹ One of the most difficult problems confronting the schools of America today is "How shall we make good readers of our students?" That no educators are satisfied with the reading accomplishments in our schools is attested by the great number of articles on reading that appear in current periodicals and educational journals and by the increasing number of books on reading that are being published. So great is the flood on technical treatises on the …
