The Dualism Of Shelley's Adonais, Lucille C. Kaul

English Language and Literature ETDs

Adonais, the elegy on Keats, is regarded by common consent as one of Shelley's two or three greatest poems and one of the greatest elegies in the English language. This current estimate approximates, if it does not confirm, the self judgement of a writer who by 1840 'had been clearly recognized as one of England's half-dozen greatest poets.'

A Comparison Of The Uses Of Astrology In The Works Of John Gower And Geoffrey Chaucer, George Rufus Wyatt Jr.

Master's Theses

The literary interest in astrology which had been gradually increasing during the fourteenth century in England, culminated in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower. It is not surprising that these two poets have used astrology very extensively in writing stories for their medieval audiences since the average man in the Middles Ages believed that life depended upon the influences of the seven planets in their positions in the zodiac. It is the purpose of this thesis to present a comparison of the uses of the astrological material in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower. In this …

Henry James' View Of Evil In His Writings From 1888-1899, Adrienne R. Wilda

English Language and Literature ETDs

This thesis springs from an interest in Henry James' exploration of the situations which face his characters and of the responses which his characters make to those situations. Viewing the situations, one sees that in general two possibilities may result: The character concerned may go on to a fuller development of his spiritual qualities, or he may become keyed to a value much lower than his spiritual capacity. In either case the ultimate responsibility for the individual's action or attitude rests with himself.

A Survey Of The Critical Opinion Concerning The Effect Of Edgar Allan Poe's Life Upon His Literary Work, Alice Mary Griffith

Master's Theses

In this thesis I hope to present a picture of the effect the life of Edgar Allan Poe had upon his writing. Poe was and still is a controversial figure. Many of his biographers and critics agree that the illnesses and deaths of those dearest to him and the constant pressure of outer tragic circumstances played a great part in what he put down upon paper. Others feel his drinking and dope-taking colored his outpourings. There is much emphasis placed upon his childhood days in England. Some attention is paid to his life in Richmond as a boy. There are …

Art And Religion In Milton's Critical Theory, Otto Leonhart Brenner

Master's Theses

Unquestionably, behind Milton's writings stands his critical theory. Without it he could never have been great. His ability to select what was basic in the production of art was a prime factor in giving him the remarkable proficiency and power he displays in handling poetic forms in such a way that they ideally represent the thought and emotions experienced in nature.

Speech Characteristics Of The Rio Grande Valley, New Mexico, Donald I. Dickinson

English Language and Literature ETDs

The purpose of this study is to show characteristics of the speech of the Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico. It is hoped that the material will be suitable for inclusion in a future Linguistic Atlas of the U.S. and Canada. Because it was done with this as its goal, the Atlas principles have been followed in the use of preliminary check-lists for plotting key communities, the Atlas worksheets for discovering lexical and phonological variations and the Atlas fine phonetic symbols with which these variations were recorded.

The Novels Of James T. Farrell; A Study In Social Forces And The Individual, Maurice M. Rosenthal

English Language and Literature ETDs

In any study of the works of James T. Farrell one is impressed by the author's relentless attack on man's traditional institutions and his furious loathing of the barren waste of life that characterizes certain strata of society. In a very real sense Mr. Farrell is exorcising the evil spirits of his blighted youth in southside Chicago, but in a more significant respect he is doing penance for us all. "Here," he seems to say to society, "is your bastard spawn. What will you do with it?"

Mr. Farrell, however, is no crusader. He considers his mission only that of …

The Novels Of Harold Frederic, George A. Small

English Language and Literature ETDs

I do not intend to defend the obviously untenable thesis that Frederic was a great writer and is not appreciated because of the nature of his subject matter. The author of The Damnation of Theron Ware seldom shows any sign of genius. What Frederic does, and often in a rather workmanlike manner, is tell a story of small-town and country people in upper New York state. In his early works, Seth's Brother's Wife and The Lawton Girl, the author writes about things he knows and has done. The works written about the same time as the two mentioned have …

A Treatment Of Plant Life In Eighteenth-Century Poetry, William Melvin Maxey

Master's Theses

A critic of English literature, writing about nature in poetry, has said that the subject-matter ot poetry may be divided into three main groups: man, God, and nature. This paper is primarily concerned with the last division, and more especially with a treatment of plant life in eighteenth-century poetry. Such a treatment must of necessity require wide reading and careful selection of the material to be covered, since the chief aim of the writer is to present the subject in such a manner that it is representative of the whole period of English poetry from 1700 to 1800.

Ernest Hemingway, A Writer Of Episodes, Robert Alexander Chermside Jr.

Master's Theses

In this thesis my purpose is to analyze and review some of Hemingway's episodes and short scenes, which I believe to be his most valuable work, in order that their value may become evident. I then intend to show that the author's novels are in most cases dependent on these episodes for their literary success. In accomplishing this, it would be useless to consider everything Hemingway has written. I shall deal only with his fiction and shall confine myself to selections which most amply illustrate my point.
