An Interpretation Of Ecstasy As Found In The Poetry Of Emily Dickinson, Thomas B. Mccary May 1973

An Interpretation Of Ecstasy As Found In The Poetry Of Emily Dickinson, Thomas B. Mccary

Master's Theses

Emily Dickinson was indeed used to grief, as the record of her life clearly indicates. She was disappointed in love and and disappointed in her efforts to achieve literary fame. Yet there was moments of happiness and even ecstasy in Emily Dickinson's life. The purpose of this thesis is to examine those moments of ecstatic elevation--the "Soul's Superior instants" as Emily called them--in order to achieve a better insight into the mind of the poet and the nature of often curious verse.

An examination of ecstasy requires a study of Emily's religious background her psychological make-up. It also behooves the …


Characters As Functions Of Landscape In Seven Poems By Lawrence Durrell, Richard King Leroy May 1973

Characters As Functions Of Landscape In Seven Poems By Lawrence Durrell, Richard King Leroy

Master's Theses

No single theory explaining the creative process has won the assent of writers and critics. Most scholars agree that the process has sub-conscious origins and that it concludes only when the last revisions reveal the entire finished composition. However, the act of creation is de- pendent upon numerous aesthetic factors, and artists have given credit to various stimuli which have produced their special inspiration.


The Movement Towards Freedom In Paul Goodman's The Empire City., Eliot Glassheim Apr 1973

The Movement Towards Freedom In Paul Goodman's The Empire City., Eliot Glassheim

English Language and Literature ETDs

The dissertation presents The Empire City as an outline of what freedom meant in the 1930-1960 era. Within the context of an increasingly deadening Empire, the characters shed their false assumptions and wrong habits, carve out some free space for themselves, and begin to perform free acts.

Chapter one discusses four components of free acts. Chapter two presents three traditions of thought which define Goodman's idea of freedom--Anarchist politics, Gestalt psychology, and Taoist metaphysics. Chapter three is an overview of the novel as a journey towards freedom.

The fourth chapter follows the developing idea of what politics should mean to …


The Lost Eden: The New World In American Nature Writing, Kenneth Johnson Apr 1973

The Lost Eden: The New World In American Nature Writing, Kenneth Johnson

English Language and Literature ETDs

Several scholars have traced the Edenic myth through American thought and literature, but heretofore no one has traced the myth through American nature writing. In fact, the work of the nature writers, with the exception of Thoreau, has generally been neglected by scholars and critics. In this study, the works of five naturalist writers--William Bartram, Henry Thoreau, John Muir, Joseph Wood Krutch, and Rachel Carson-­were examined to determine what has happened in American nature writing from the Colonial Period to the present. Although a few of the early explorers in the New World compared America with Eden or Canaan, and …

The Supreme Organ Of The Mind's Self-Ordering Growth, T. Y. Booth Apr 1973

The Supreme Organ Of The Mind's Self-Ordering Growth, T. Y. Booth

Faculty Honor Lectures

As is true of other organs, when language is functioning well, we pay little or no attention to it or its complexities. Part of the difficulty, in fact, of doing justice to the problems of expression and interpretation that Richards asks us to deal with is that routine language experience occurs so effortlessly, so unconcernedly, so second-natured naturally, that when we do run into difficulties we do not always recognize them as difficulties of our developing language. Or, what can be even worse, we think of the language difficulties as if they were separable, as if the thought would be …


"Mercy Seasons Justice", Robert Freeman Davidson Apr 1973

"Mercy Seasons Justice", Robert Freeman Davidson

Master's Theses

This is a study of the development of the mind of William Shakespeare as it relates to justice which tries to show how certain of Shakespeare's beliefs and theories, those shared by most of his con­ temporaries, were altered in the course of that development. The plays chosen for this treatment of the mind of Shakespeare -- the historically related cycle of Richard II, Henry IV (I and II), Henry V, Henry VI (I, II, and III), and Richard III -- show the ideas in question in greater abundance than any other of Shakespeare's plays. The historical grouping consists …


An Orientation Of The Theoretical Aspects Of Verbs In English, Mostafa Hedayatnia Apr 1973

An Orientation Of The Theoretical Aspects Of Verbs In English, Mostafa Hedayatnia

Master's Theses

Traditional grammar originated in Greece in the fifth century B.C. and has been closely connected with philosophy and literary criticism ever since. Through the course of centuries, numerous grammars have been presented, with new ideas and definitions each "varying greatly in purpose, quality, basic assumption, and method of analysis." Each system of grammar has been productive in its own way as well as erroneous and has been succeeded by other systems still faulty. Consequently, in spite of the tremendous amount of theoretical data processed by investigators and experts, neither an explicit nor a complete grammar of a language has ever …
