Byron And The New Promethean Man, Yukihito Hijiya

English Language and Literature ETDs

The present study concerns itself with the development of the vision of the new Prometheus in Byron’s poetry. The purpose of this essay is to examine Byron as an affirmative poet of humanity. Chapters I and II deal with the poet’s early lyrics and with two tales—The Giaour and The Bride of Abydos—written before 1816; in these chapters Byron’s positive attitude toward life is explored in relation to this interest in the theme of love. Chapters III, IV and V are concerned with selected works written during and after 1816—“Prometheus,” Manfred, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage III-IV, The Prisoner of Chillon, Mazeppa, …

The Imagination Of Gary Snyder, Bert Almon

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study is a critical introduction to the thought and art of Gary Snyder, an American poet whose esoteric allusions to Oriental thought and American Indian lore require considerable explication. Through an examination of Snyder's basic themes I have tried to provide the background for a full understanding of his work, and at the same time I have provided critical evaluation of it. The introductory chapter contains an intellectual biography, of Snyder, an examination of his poetics, and a résumé of the available criticism and scholarship devoted to him. The second chapter examines the sensuous emphasis of his style and …

In Search Of Nevil Shute, Julian Smith

The Courier

Because it contains much unpublished autobiographical material and early or variant drafts of his published fiction, the Nevil Shute Norway manuscript collection on microfilm at Syracuse University offers an unusually fine chance to study in depth a popular writer who brought pleasure to millions of readers through a career spanning three decades.

The essence of "Nevil Shute" is found most properly through his novels, not his life; therefore, the major emphasis here is on his fiction. But as his fiction grew out of his experiences and interests in a way not common among popular writers, a brief guide to his …

The Queasy World Of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.: Satire In The Novels, James William Goshorn

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study is a close rhetorical analysis of the satire in the novels of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. It attempts to clarify the underlying art of structure and style which distinguish his work. The novels show Vonnegut's concern for the role of the individual in society by dramatizing ironically passive comic characters comparable to Voltaire's Candide. The rhetorical devices and stylistic techniques through which Vonnegut achieves his satiric effects are closely analyzed. The study reveals that the effect of his blend of fantasy and fiction is a stimulation of concern for human values in his reader. This effect distinguishes him from …

The Symbolist And Decadent Elements In The Lyrical Dramas Of Oscar Wilde, Nancy G. Nuckols

Master's Theses

The terms decadence, aestheticism, art for art's sake have been used interchangeably to describe the movement in literature that flowered during the 1890's in England. Despite the fact that the English aesthetics and decadents were a relatively small group, they were vocal and colorful. Many contributed to the numerous aesthetic and semi-aesthetic periodicals with such titles as The Chamelion, The Butter, The Rose Leaf, and The Hobby Horse. In this way the decadents presented the new trends in art and literature to the general public. In London during the 1890's the literacy taverns were full of these decadent artists who …

Henry Fielding's The Mock Doctor: Or The Dumb Lady Cur'd And The Miser: A Critical Edition, Marti J. Brewerton

Theses and Dissertations

Henry Fielding is more widely known as a novelist than a playwright. Except for Tom Thumb, his dramatic works are largely ignored. And yet many of these plays enjoyed great success in Fielding's time. This edition presents a critical, old-style text of two of Fielding's most popular plays, both of which are adaptations of Molière: The Mock Doctor; or the Dumb Lady Cur'd, taken from Le Médecin Malgré Lui, and The Miser, taken from L'Avare. Each play is presented in the form which represents as nearly as possible Fielding's final intentions, so far as can be …

Backgrounds Of Mexican American Literature, Philip D. Ortego

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study attempts to define the heretofore amorphous body of Mexican American literature as well as providing an understanding of what American literature should have been: that is, a literary fabric not exclusively woven on the Atlantic frontier by the descendants of New England Puritans and Southern Cavaliers, but one woven in the American Southwest as well, and with marvelous Hispanic threads which reach back not only to the literary heritage of the European continent but also the very heart of the Graeco-Roman world.

Like the British roots in the new American soil, the Hispanic literary roots have yielded a …

Paradise: The Failure Of An Ideal., Nancy C. Cotton

English Language and Literature ETDs

A lost paradise in man's mythic past has evoked tra­ditionally a feeling of intense nostalgia. Yet in Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, in Marvell's garden lyrics, in Gulliver's "Voyage to the Houyhnhnms," and in Rasselas, this elegiac sentiment is countered by a sense of boredom and dissatisfaction with the state of paradise. Partly by relating paradise and stoicism and partly through the means of parody and comedy, these works describe an impossible relationship between a life of reason, fulfillment, and harmony, and a human nature of unappeasable desires. Thus, there is a shift of concentration from the object of per­ception …

The Idea Of Evil In The Poetry Of Blake And Shelley:A Comparative Study., Melanie Flossie Bandy

English Language and Literature ETDs

This analogical study attempts, through comparison, to define and elucidate Blake's and Shelley's ideas about the origin, manifestation and eradication of evil. Neither poet, for the most part, possesses a “tragic” view of evil, but it is the conclusion of the dissertation that the view they do have is nevertheless intellectually respectable and tenable. Blake defines evil as a "negative accident," a sin, error or mistake arising from suppressed energy. Shelley, however, accepted sane evils as absolute (the death, chance and mutability of Prometheus Unbound, for example), and his skepticism (based on reason) always kept up a running battle with …
