Women Characters In Dickens' Early Novels, Virginia Anna Mogensen

Bachelors’ Theses

In this thesis on Women Characters in Dickens' Early Novels, I have endeavored to deal with the importance of the women as characters. This necessitates a consideration of their sources in real life, their number and description, influence upon the novel’s outcome, social class, characteristics, and relationship with the men characters. The source of Dickens’ characters is a chapter in itself. The other points mentioned above are dealt with in chapters entitled: Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, Barnaby Rudge, and David Copperfield. These are the most important of Dickens’ early novels. They are treated consecutively, and the women …

Comparison Of Virgil's And Dante's Inferno, Marjorie B. Roedel

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis fs devoted · entirely to a comparison of the Aeneid VI of Virgil and the Inferno of Dante. Many authors have stated points of similarity, but much research has failed to uncover any published work which makes such a comparison the whole subject of discussion. The quotations, cited in this thesis, are taken from the Aeneid, both Latin and English versions, from a translation of the Inferno, and from the works listed in the bibliography. Many books supplied helps and hints; but special indebtedness must be acknowledged to the World Review of October 4, 1926, which suggested the …

Comparison Of The Gods And Goddesses Of The Iliad And The Aenid, Viola G. Strunk

Bachelors’ Theses

Anyone who studies classical literature must have a knowledge of mythology. Without this it is almost impossible to read and understand the ancient Greek and Latin authors. Many books have been written on the mythology of the ancients, but in my research work I have never found one that has been entirely devoted to a comparison of the mythology of the Iliad and the Aeneid. It is to offset this that I have undertaken to write this thesis. To claim, though, that this is the only work of its kind would be presumptuous. In this thesis, I have used as …

T.O. Davus And J.C. Mangan In Their Relation To The Forty Eight Movement, Ann Brigid Costello

Bachelors’ Theses

The relation of Davis and Mangan as men of letters to the "48" Movement in Irish Literature is a subject of some importance because for the first time in the history of Anglo-Irish literature we find a movement stressing what was national rather than what was political . Anglo-Irish literature previous to this period of which we are writing (1840-48) belongs to the history of English literature rather than that of Irish literature...

The Rhythm And Harmony In The Poems Fo Alphonse De Lamartine, Lourette Mary Booz

Bachelors’ Theses

The present interpretation of the rhythm and harmony in the poetry of Lamartine does not aim to cover all his works. The poems selected were thought to have the greatest amount of rhythm and harmony.

Criticism Of The English Novel In The Eighteenth Century, Natalie Blyn

Bachelors’ Theses

The difficulty which presents itself to anyone writing a work such as this is the determination of the standard of criticism that can be applied to the novels of the eighteenth century. It is for this reason that it is necessary to make a rather intensive study of the biographers of the novelists of that period and the men who devoted a great amount of time and labor to this task. Merely to read the novels is not sufficient. For, although one can obtain a fairly accurate determination of the author's purpose and and ideas, one can never be very …

A Comparison Of Gaius Valerius Catullus And Robert Herrick, Mary Jeanne Bizjak

Bachelors’ Theses

In writing this thesis my object has been to compare the poetry of Catullus with that of Herrick. I have tried to bring out the influence of Catullus upon Herrick. I have also tried to make a critical study of each poet's works, and to bring out the similarity of their poetry. It was necessary to read all the poems of Catullus with the aid of the translation by F. W. Cornish, and to read the complete poems of Herrick.

Imitations Of Greek Tragedy In English Literature, Janet O'Neill

Bachelors’ Theses

In the pages that follow there has been no attempt to cover the entire subject of imitations of Greek tragedy in English literature. Four prominet literary works, considered as imitations of Greek tragedy, have been selected for discussion as to their imitative qualities. The guiding principles for this discussion were gathered from a perusal and analysis of the works of Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Euripides. Much valuable information was also gained from The Tragic Drama of the Greeks, by A. E. Haigh.

Menander As A Source Of Terence, Jane F. Kramer

Bachelors’ Theses

The present work is an attempt to survey the ancient comedy of the classical stage, by a study of its most outstanding exponents, Aristophanes, Menander, and Terence. The author hopes that this thesis may be acceptable to some of those, who without being professed scholars, are yet interested in the ancient Greek and Roman authors, and their conception of the comic art.

Besides the plays of Aristophanes, Menander, and Terence, the works of Willard Smith, Philippe Legrande, and Alfred Croiset are among the more important sources consulted in the writing of this thesis.

The Language Of The Santa Fe Trader, Kathleen Mckee Brophy

English Language and Literature ETDs

The purpose of this study is to give a general survey of the language most commonly used on the trail, and to establish the identity of a colloquial trader speech, the product of the Santa Fe Trail and the Santa Fe trade. To accomplish this purpose, a glossary of terms is submitted, prefaced by a discussion of the language sources, and a critical survey of the characteristics of the trader speech. Necessarily, a study of this length must be more of a survey than a comprehensive treatment of the subject.

On The Dating Of The English And Scottish Ballads, Louise Pound

Department of English: Faculty Publications

HE practice has established itself among literary historians and anthologists of associating the English and Scottish ballads primarily with the fifteenth century, sometimes with the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. One of the best and most popular of the histories of English literature now used in schools and colleges states in its revised editions: "These ballads appear to have flourished luxuriantly among the folk in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, after which their composition ceased. Over three hundred of them, in 1,300 versions, have survived, and have been collected and printed."' The now widely used History of English Literature by M. …

A Study Of The Revolt In Modern American Literature As Seen In The Novel, Poetry, And Prose Fiction, Dovie Viola Ross

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Since the earliest time that the human mind has been known to function it has played with two opposite conceptions ---all is fixed – all is changing. These two conceptions, affording the bases for opposing schools in philosophy and politics and supplying direction for the social forces of conservatism and radicalism, have naturally influenced our interpretation and theories of literature.

Because of obvious impossibility, and for the sake of avoiding repetition, …

The Influence Of Spenser's Irish Residence On The Faerie Queene., Ellen Mcdowell Davis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The departure of Spenser for Ireland in 1580 as secretary to Lord Grey of Wilton, newly appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland, marks a significant point in the poet's career. Save for occasional trips to England, the remaining years of his life Spenser spent in this "salvage land", among a hostile and turbulent people, far from the brilliance of English court life and "Elisa's blessed fields." The appointment to service in Ireland seems to have been a disappointment to the poet who had shortly before thought himself assured of an official career in England under the patronage of Leicester. In October …

A Study Of The Cluster Novel As A Development In Contemporary Fiction, Mary Salber

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

By 1929 and 1930 the popularity and the increasing use of the cluster form caught the attention of most careful readers of fiction. Its original adaptations, its unique technique, its clever appropriation of the best in the novel and in the short story forms, its use by leading novelists, its suggested similarity to age-old literary methods, and it's very apparent possibilities - all these make it a subject worthy of some detailed study.

It shall be the aim in this discussion to search out the very early traces of fictional forms similar to the cluster type, to attempt to account …
