Hawthorne's Multiple Choice In Symbolism, Helen R. Haight

English Language and Literature ETDs

Among Hawthorne critics, only Matthiessen, Winters, and Higginson have made comment on the multiple choice technique employed by Hawthorne in his presentation of the symbol. Matthissen recognizes its potentialities; Winters condemns it unmercifully; and T.W. Higginson has written an article in which he suggested that the device "was perhaps borrowed by Austin's Peter Rug." The multiple choice technique, or, as Winters terms it, the formula of alternative possibilities, consists of showing not only one correspondence between the symbol and the thing it symbolizes but several, and giving the reader a choice of interpretations. Since these three notable critics have …

Thomas Hood : Poet, Social Thinker, Comedian, Ernest W. Mooney Jr

Master's Theses

Although Thomas Hood lived an uneventful and somewhat undramatic life, it was not entirely fruitless. His unparalleled misfortune in health and economy was scarcely offset by a felicitous family life; but his poetry--some inane, some mediocre, some excellent--balanced an otherwise pathetic existence. There has been no conscious attempt in this paper to present Thomas as an undiscovered genius. His works and his life have been evaluated for their peculiar merit alone, but a study of those has revealed points hitherto vague and misunderstood as well as forgotten.

As a writer of unmitigated fun, Thomas Hood is hardly excelled. Where he …

Haniel Long And His Work, Robert Burlingame

English Language and Literature ETDs

The prose and poetry of Haniel Long, a contemporary writer now living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, will be the subject of this thesis, which will consider the sources of Long's work, its nature, its place in American literature, and the failure of critics to recognize its importance and significance in contemporary literature. Biographical details will be related to the poet's work, in an effort to bring into clear focus his working methods, his technical resources, and his literary ideas. The thesis, however, will not restrict itself entirely to critical analysis; rather it will combine criticism with appreciation, endeavoring to …

The Three Nephites: The Substance And Significance Of The Legend In Folklore, Hector Lee

English Language and Literature ETDs

Until quite recently, folklore in the United States has been a study for scholars who were willing to work without encouragement or very much financial support. American anthropologists have applied their discipline to Indian lore and show bounteous returns; literary scholars and musicologists have collected and studied ballads in various parts of America and have added to our knowledge of what and how the people sing. More recently, various regions of our country have published collections -- mostly following the stimulus of the WPA -- and the result has been a nation-wide interest in the things people like to talk …

A Study Of The Divorce Theme As Used In The Novels Of Major And Minor Authors During The Period 1920-1945, Ethel Liss Simpson

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The scientific study of divorce is still in its initial stages. Sociologists have studied the problem and have made great progress in understanding it. Fiction writers, in presenting the problem through the more easily accessible method of the novel have reached and have influenced a greater number of people than have the long and difficult treatises of the scientists. As a wife and mother I became interested in this most vital problem which has tragically broken so many homes. My purpose in making this study has been to ascertain the degree to which the authors are reflecting in the novels …

Tragic Implications Of Man's Frustration By Society In Three Of Dreiser's Novels., Susan Mae Robinson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper is to examine three of Dreiser's major novels in order (1) to show that his philosophy of life is exemplified in his fiction and (2) to determine whether or not his ideas undergo any change.
