Melville was also extremely introspective – searching, questioning, and examining himself with equal intensity.

“Bartleby the Scrivener” offers an interesting synthesis of Melville’s double vision. Within the confines of this tale are Melville’s reaction to his world …

Saints, Diamonds And Bears, William Rewak

English

A common complaint in academia goes something like this: "If the essential work of education is that which occurs between student and faculty member, between students themselves, or between a student and a book, then why are so much money and so much energy spent in the nonessentials: athletics, dormitories, development and alumni offices, day-care centers, social activities-indeed , all the 'support services' of a university? Wouldn't life on a campus be simpler and wouldn't our work be more effective if we were to concentrate our efforts on the essentials?"

All of us, whether we're administrators or faculty or board …

Personality & Characterization In Cantos I-Xvii Of The Cantos Of Ezra Pound, Gary Hottinger

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Examining the modes of characterization and the types of personalities evident in the first seventeen cantos of The Cantos of Ezra Pound, one can perceive that Ezra Pound felt he was composing an epic which was to revitalize for the present the best minds of the past. Pound's method of revitalization has a close affinity Co the doctrine of effluences in Longinus on the Sublime, a classical work of literary criticism. The personalities Pound employs in The Cantos fall into three broad categories: gods (deific), legends (archetypal), and men (historical). By applying Pound's neo-Platonism to their organization, one …
