In Memoriam: The Way Of A Mystic, Carolyn E. Wagner

Theses & Honors Papers

The purport, therefore, of this thesis will be to discover some of the general characteristics of a mystical experience as accepted by various students of mysticism and to discern whether or not these characteristics are to be found in In Memoriam. Other poems by the Poet Laureate will be used to gain insight into the development of the author's attitude toward mysticism, as well as any influential ideas of such associates as Arthur Henry Hallam, or other contemporary writers, or historical movements. Throughout, there will be an attempt to refute, compromise, or concur with any critical conjectures made regarding Tennyson's …

Grotesque In Dickens, O. James Morgan

Senior Scholar Papers

Dickens's use of the grotesque in his novels undergoes a variety of changes. For convenience sake, and to better illustrate the developments of the grotesque, I divide the novels into three separate groups. The first group, the period of experiment, included the novels from Pickwick Papers through Barnaby Rudge; the second group, the period of transition, includes the novels from Martin Chuzzlewit through David Copperfield; and the third, the period of a new vision. included the novels from Bleak House through Edwin Drood. Basically, I see the development of the grotesque involving a change in Dickens's conceptions of society, as …

Kenneth Burke's Structuralism: A Structural Description Of Narrative And Technique In Faulkner's Fiction Of The Southern Aristocracy, Gary E. Barricklow

English Language and Literature ETDs

Objective description of literary technique is an aspect of literary criticism which has largely been ignored, in part because of the influence of the Formalist school of literary criticism which insists that all critical reading is necessarily subjective and that intention--an integral element in any examination of literary technique--is impossible to isolate or define. Contemporary structuralists disagree. Structuralists believe that the "system" of' literature, like any other language system, is comprised of both performance and competence. That is the structuralists assume that, to read a text as literature rather than as sentences the reader must first internalize a "grammar" of …

Rebuilt, Jim Sagel

English Language and Literature ETDs

Rebuilt is a collection of free verse, rooted in the cultural traditions of the American Southwest. The sense of magic and the supernatural which runs through the folktales of both the Spanish and Indians of northern New Mexico forms a basis for these poems. This material is not simply lifted from the sources but is altered to shape "rebuilt'' images that attempt to cope with the unreality of the late twentieth century. The thematic concern of these poems centers on frustration, a sense of powerlessness from the most intimate level of personal relationships to a society's guilt over its own …

Balance, Symmetry, And Order In As You Like It, Lois Stacy Creed

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Although many critics have commented on various aspects of balance, symmetry, and order in Shakespeare’s As You like It, others have given the impression that the play uses a carefree series of episodes to give the audience lighthearted entertainment. Few, if any have discussed the extent to which these elements are exemplified through the remarkable skill and craftsmanship of the playwright. The coordination of these elements shows that the work is not, as it frequently has been considered, a simple romance, but is rather a superlative exemplification of Shakespeare’s remarkable artistry. Through the use of various devices, Shakespeare constructs for …

The American Indian As Metaphor: William Carlos Williams And Hart Crane, Douglas Manning Tedards

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The American Indian has functioned metaphorically in American literature at least since his characterization as an agent of Satan in the captivity narratives of the 17th century. From then until now, the Indian has tended to represent either the noble savage of the primitive heathen. Moreover, literary criticism dealing with these images has shown a primary interest in the historical accuracy and fairness of portrayal of the Indian and his way of life. That is to say, relatively little critical attention has dealt with the Indian as metaphor, examining how the Indian functions figuratively in the literature. Two excellent studies …

Twenty-Two Poems, Michael John Penny

English Language and Literature ETDs

The general theme of Twenty-two Poems is man and environment. This theme is divided into several more specific ideas--man's being defeated by the environment, man's sense of himself as defined by the environment (often an environment is the closest possible definition of its inhabitants,) and man's finally understanding the environment. The order of these ideas is the order in which the poems deal with the theme, and the general progression of poems is from despair to optimism. The first poem, "Bear," deals with a character totally defeated by environment, and the last poem, "Heuros," with a character with such complete …

Kate Chopin In Transition From Local To Naturalism, Roselyn Cornwell Hines

Theses & Honors Papers

My thesis concentrates on Mrs.Katherine O'Flaherty Chopin, a Southerner who published between 1889 and 1899, and who, for years, was considered an obsolete Local Colorist. She is now enjoying a revival of interest which must be attributed to her importance as a writer who exhibited those precepts upon which modern literature is based - those found in the movements of Realism and Naturalism.

With literary roots in the Local Color mode,Mrs.Chopin's early works exemplify, to some extent at least, all of its principles. While she falters somewhat in the dominant literary technique, we find the Local Colorist's emphasis on geography, …

An Otherwise Report, M. Q. Rice

Faculty Honor Lectures

In defense of myself and the Honors Committee I accept this assignment as a tribute for something, possibly for setting a new record as a hunger artist or for simply staying in town and reciting the penitential psalms daily for over 40 years. I have a sneaking suspicion that they may be exposing me for not being creative in the Greek sense of fulfilling the promise of one's birth. If I had got around to writing Pericles' funeral oration, Dostoevsky's "Grand Inquisitor," or E. E. Cummings' "What if a Much of a Which of a Wind," as I fully intended …

WKU Administration Documents

The articles, all papers done for classes in the university honors program, are divided into three groups. The first group deals with science, especially the area of health care, one of the more practical applications of science in the modern age. The second group consists of three papers done for honor courses in which the major purpose was to expose the student to new areas of consciousness and have them respond orally and verbally to what they read, creative writing. The last group deals with the humanities, literature and religion, two of the more popular fields of the humanities today. …

Staging The York Creation, And Fall Of Lucifer, Clifford Davidson

English Faculty Publications

The Creation, and Fall of Lucifer by the York Realist was intended to provide a spectacular opening for the Corpus Christi cycle, of which the city of York felt very proud in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Since the York Realist appears to have been particularly sensitive to the conditions of production, this opening play provides a useful focus for attention to the staging used in the York cycle. The internal evidence of the Realist's Creation, and Fall of Lucifer demonstrates that he was not writing a mere literary exercise, but kept in mind the specifics of stage production.
