The Old Road, Dennis C. Gilbert

Senior Scholar Papers

The plot consists of the progression which the characters undergo. For the old man, the plot is his movement away from the earthly existence of the farm and into the physical process of the seasons. For the older grandson, it is the movement away from the past, symbolized by the farm, and into the present symbolized by his marriage and coupling with society. For the younger grandson, the movement is from childhood to the maturity which being alone demands in order for him to survive.

Symbolism In The Poetry Of William Butler Yeats, Alana White

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This thesis is a study of the development of the symbolic system formulated by William Butler Yeats and his subsequent application of this system to his poetry, with special attention to the rose and the stone. To comprehend and thereby fully appreciate Yeats's poetry requires some knowledge of the forces working together to form the basis of his philosophy and symbolic system. These forces and the system form the subject of the first chapter. Foremost among the many influences are his Irish birth, his associates (among them his father, John Yeats; his uncle, George Pollexfen; John O'Leary; and Madame Helena …

Chaucer's Knight's Tale : A Symbolic Reading, Naomi Pasquine

Master's Theses

Chaucer's Knight Tale has called forth much critical comment. Individual lines have been commented upon, characters have been analysed and the resolution of the poem has been discussed. Critics have offered suggestions as to the poem's meaning, but an interpretation that encompasses all aspects of the poem and gives the reader the feeling that all the poetic elements of the poem have been resolved into that interpretation has not been presented. What the reader is looking for is an interpretation that will give the poem what we call today a sense of its own being or an existence of its …

"The Countries Sweet Simplicity": Devonshire Life In The Poetry Of Robert Herrick, David F. Beer

English Language and Literature ETDs

This dissertation explores the influence of his life in Devon on the poetry of Robert Herrick. Much has been naively assumed regarding this influence, particularly by authors of short popular articles, or in brief introductions to a selection of the poet’s work in anthologies. Little has been actually produced, however, to substantiate the claim that Herrick's poems on country life are what they are because the poet moved from London to Dean Prior in 1630 and lived there almost eighteen years before publishing his complete works in one volume. That many of his poems cannot be dated with absolute certainty …

The Fiction Of Kate Chopin, Peter James Peterson

English Language and Literature ETDs

Kate Chopin's extant fiction includes two novels and nearly one hundred short stories and sketches. The present study closely examines that fiction by chronological periods in order to present a coherent view of the author's artistic development and philosophical concerns.

Kate Chopin wrote her first novel, At Fault, after completing only a few short stories. Although the novel is clumsily executed, it introduces most of the themes which characterize her mature work. Her early stories, primarily designed for juvenile and family magazines, feature picturesque characters and sentimental resolutions. As she gradually developed less limiting markets for her work, Mrs. …

The A.E. Coppard Papers At Syracuse, Arsiné Schmavonian

The Courier

Some of the most choice collections in the Manuscript Department of Syracuse University Libraries are also among the most modest in extent. The papers of English author and poet A.E. Coppard fit into both categories. Housed comfortably in a single box, fifty-five letters, three short stories in holograph and one speech provide a close look at Coppard's literary theories, criticism, opinions of his own work and that of a few others, reaction to approaches regarding dramatizing, filming or televising his prose works, dealings with publishers, and his activities on behalf of world peace through the Authors' World Peace Appeal in …

Lyly's Midas As An Allegory Of Tyranny, Stephen S. Hilliard

Department of English: Faculty Publications

John Lyly's Midas is structured in terms of traditional allegorizations of the Ovidian myth that represent Midas as an avaricious and ignorant tyrant. Lyly is thus concerned with a theme popular in the public theater, but he treats it in allegorical manner distinctive in its focus on theme rather than character or action. The play first portrays Midas's mistaken choice of a private end, the accumulation of wealth for its own sake and as a means of financing lechery and aggression, then suggests the difficulties this causes in the governing of his kingdom. The episode in which Midas judges the …

Shakespeare's Coriolanus:The Icon Of Mars., Claus-Peter Buechmann

English Language and Literature ETDs

The aim of this study is to suggest a perhaps more satisfactory reading than has hitherto been offered of Shakespeare's Coriolanus by exploring the consequences of Caius Marius Coriolanus' view of himself as “son and Heire to Mars.” Previous studies of the play in general and its awesome protagonist in particular have led to either critical uneasiness or outright condemnation; however, an approach to Coriolanus through the Renaissance icon of Mars, I find, renders an interpretation which establishes great conceptual integrity rather than faltering artistic powers on Shakespeare’s part and, furthermore, accounts for the frequently noted absence of “that peculiar …
