Le Grand Translateur: The Theory And Practice Of Ezra Pound In Selected Translations, Peter H. Ohlin

English Language and Literature ETDs

The present study does not pretend to be a definitive study of Pond's translations. It will, however, try to outline the main points about Pound as a translator. It will discuss, first of all, Pound's statements about translating as a craft as well as on his own translations and those of others, and try to define--if only tentatively--Pound's major principles of translations. It will discuss specifically some of Pound's translations, chosen not always because they are the most representative, but because the present writer is able to examine them. This part will include translations from the German, from the Anglo-Saxon, …

Milton And Socinianism, Joseph Johnson Collins

Master's Theses

The seventeenth century was a period of enormous scholarship and erudition. In the wake of the Reformation and the Humanist movements great interest was awakened in the field of Biblical scholarship, Many of the scholars, lay­ men, and divines began to devote much of their time and energy to the new Biblical exegesis. The doctrine which was receiving much attention during this period suggested that one might assure that the strongholds of the reformed religion were sufficiently fortified through improved trans­lation and qualified Biblical exegesis.

This was the era which produced John Milton 's method­ ical and learned tractate of …

A Critical Study Of John Milton's On The Morning Of Christ's Nativity, Daniel Patterson

English Language and Literature ETDs

One can hardly avoid, in writing a critical study of John Milton's On the Morning of Christ's Nativity, the sense of having been preceded by a sizable vanguard of scholars. Upon Virtually every tree there is a blaze, in nearly every trail a footprint. But without the successes, failures, guesses and assertions of those who have gone before him, the aspiring critic of so complex a poem might return without ever having sighted his quarry. Criticism of Milton's Hymn has not been remarkable for any deviation from the common patterns of literary scholarships during the past centuries. In fact, …

"Chronometricals And Horologicals”: The Key To A Basic Theme In The Fiction Of Herman Melville, James Llewellyn Thorson

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

My aim is to study several of Melville’s major works of fiction in the light a pamphlet called “Chronometricals and Horologicals”, which purports to be by one Plotinus Plinlimmon in Melville’s novel Pierre: or The Ambiguities. In my view of Melville’s works, this pamphlet is as near a statement of the author’s philosophy (as dramatized in his works) as can be formulated. I do not maintain that a study of the relationship of the pamphlet to the works will reveal the whole “truth” about the “meaning” of Melville’s fiction, but I do think that it will show a significant …

John Steinbeck’S East Of Eden: A Story Of Man, Ned S. Hedges

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

This thesis is a critical comment centered on John Steinbeck’s East of Eden.This particular work by Steinbeck has been thoroughly neglected, and therefore must be discussed.It is also of his earlier works, one which shows the new and positive direction of his writing.The aim is to analyze the book closely in an attempt to ascertain the intention of the author and to judge the success of failure of the novel in the terms under which it was written.

By extension, recurrent themes and techniques in previous novels are need to be included in this analysis. Only after such a …

Conrad Aiken's Preludes For Memnon: A Thematic Analysis, Henry B. Chapin

English Language and Literature ETDs

My hope is that this essay will be one small contribution in making Conrad Aiken as important and formidable in the eyes of the world as he is in fact. It is difficult to read much of Aiken without feeling, I think, that he has somehow been unjustly neglected in the contemporary assessment of modern poets. Thus it is my further hope that my discernment has anticipated my judgment, and that Conrad Aiken's Preludes for Memnon is treated in the following pages in such a way that his recognition as one of the great American poets will be appreciably facilitated.

The Horatian Imitations Of Pope And Swift, Robert Garland

English Language and Literature ETDs

The English writer of the Sixteenth Century--particularly the translator--worked with a new sense of national vitality and purpose, but he was dependent on, and to a certain degree, subservient to, the sense of form and literary history seen in the ancient world, in modern Italy, and occasionally in France. But by the beginning of the Eighteenth Century, England had become so apt a pupil that it felt itself more the inheritor than the learner.

Primitivism In The Faerie Queene, Andrew R. Segura F.S.C.

English Language and Literature ETDs

Renaissance primitivism may be described as a literary interest in and an occasional preference for 1) past times as possessing sturdier virtues and better general conditions for the good life; an interest manifest especially in the admiration of a classical golden age, in a sense of loss of the innocence of Eden, and in the memories of the glory of the national past (contrasted with the baseness of certain aspects of the present); 2) a more contented, less sophisticated life providing leisure and opportunity for study and contemplation in such forms as the life of the shepherd or even that …

Intention And Actuality In The Fiction Of William Dean Howells, William J. Mcmurray

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study of Howells' fiction is a discussion of representative novels of the author's from A Foregone Conclusion in 1875 through his last novel, The Vacation of the Kelwyns, in 1920. The arrangement of the novels in chronological order is primarily for convenience; no attempt has been made to trace the literary development of the author. My purpose, rather, has been to show that Howells, throughout the greater part of his career as a novelist, was consistent in his literary method. To understand that method is to have a better understanding of meaning in the novels. Finally, in demonstrating that …

The Origins And Importance Of The Initiation Story In Twentieth Century British And American Fiction, Robert S. Bickham

English Language and Literature ETDs

The third and final advantage of the method of explication is that it will, I hope, increase the respect of the readers of serious fiction for the short story as a significant art form. For well over a decade now poems and novels have been subjected to the severest critical scrutiny, while the short story has received but little. In fact one of the reasons this study was undertaken was because of the appalling paucity of criticism of the short story. Just as explication has highlighted the artistic excellence of many poems and novels, so it may help to modify …

The Semantics Of Stress And Pitch In English, George A. Meyer

Faculty Honor Lectures

Have your ears, not to mention your sensibilities, and your reverence for long established familiar rhythms and meanings been quite rudely jolted?

If each individual present here were to read these well-known lines from the printed page, or recite them from memory, I'm sure that you would, in each case, almost invariably reproduce them with the same stress, pitch, and rhythm patterns. There is comfort and relaxation of mind in rolling out the familiar phrases, with the stresses, relaxation from stress, and variations in pitch, that make them full of meaning.

Contrariwise, when you heard them spoken as I read …

James Mellor: English Convert And Handcart Pioneer - A Biography, Edna J. Gregerson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For many years the descendants of John and James Mellor -- a large family who have made contributions to the cultural and educational activities of their various communities -- have been desirous of preserving for their posterity, and others, a record of the Mellors. Several years ago Amy Mellor Howe initiated the project by compiling and editing the first Mellor History. The foreword in her book wherein she "...hoped that the information and data herein contained may form the nucleus for further research..." served as the incentive to continue the project.

It is planned to incorporate the following biography into …

A Method Of Structural Analysis Of The Novel, Clinton F. Hurley Jr.

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study is intended to be a contribution to the aesthetics of the novel. It is motivated by the assumption that the main purpose of criticism of the novel is to help the reader perceive, understand, and evaluate novels and that the main purpose of aesthetics of the novel is to help the critic understand the principles behind perceiving, understanding, and evaluating novels. According to this assumption, the major function of aesthetics, then, is to supply the critic with a consistent theory of art and with a practical method of criticism. In one sense, criticism is applied aesthetics, and aesthetics …
