Auden's Poetic Theory & The Child-Like Voice, Diana Graham

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

W. H. Auden shares with most of his contemporaries, including Yeats and Eliot, the goal of lighting modern man's way back to a sense of harmony with his universe--the certainty of identity which his ancestors enjoyed. In New Year Letter, Auden announces that the problem lies within man himself because each of us is possessed of a "double" nature, thus rendering us our own schismatics.

Auden finds that only with the help of divinity, specifically Christian, can the destructive element be overcome. To illustrate this solution in his poems then becomes Auden's great challenge. Employing a child-like voice or tone …

Divergent Composition Patterns And Editorial Problems In Clough's Poetry, Patrick G. Scott

Faculty Publications

Describes the characteristic ways in which the Victorian poet Arthur Hugh Clough (1819-1861) wrote and revised his poetry, arguing that Clough's most creative works came when his revision pattern diverged from his original idea, rather than refining it (converging), and explores the implications of Clough's divergent composition method for the editing of his major poems, including "Adam and Eve" ("The Mystery of the Fall") and "Dipsychus." Originally presented at the Textual and Bibliographical Studies section of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association, Atlanta, October 1982.

The Making Of Things Other Than The Self: Revelation And Creation In Descent Into Hell, Randy L. Dejaynes

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

A Jungian analysis of the development of three characters in Descent Into Hell. The motif of creation is applied to the self and “the possibility of creating one’s Self by means of applied revelation.” Wentworth and Adela fail because they “do not create the Self, but rather allow the Self to be created by their unconscious projections.”

C.S. Lewis: The Public Poet, Roland M. Kawano

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Contends that Lewis’s distinction between Milton the private man and epic, or public, poet can be applied to Lewis himself. “The public character and convention of poetry interested [Lewis] most of all,” which put him out of step with the poetry of his time, with its focus on private imagery.

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Claims that Carroll’s White Knight’s Song misreads the Wordsworth poem that it parodies. The persona of the poet as boor in the latter is not identical with the poet.
