Shakespeare's Genius Was Essentially A Dramatic One, Marie Valentine Prudeaux

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted to Xavier University in 1929, argues that Shakespeare's genius was essentially a dramatic one, examining his life, artistic development, and dramatic works across four periods of composition. A biographical account of Shakespeare's life at Stratford-on-Avon and London opens the study, followed by an analysis of the qualities that distinguish his genius, including originality, insight into character, and the power to portray emotion.

Prudeaux draws on the critical tradition of Dryden, Hazlitt, Johnson, Pope, and Schlegel, among others, to organize Shakespeare's dramatic output into four periods, characterized in the thesis as "In the Workshop," "In the World," "Out …

The Evolution Of Character Portrayal In Shakespeare's Comedies, Eugene M. Schoenfelder

Bachelors’ Theses

Movement whether forward or backward, toward improvement or deterioration, or upward or downward is found in everything on the face of the earth. The value of an invention increases until it has reached its peak, after which the usefulness begins to lessen, An author's work either does or does not improve as the number of his works increases. It is this latter statement that we shall discuss with reference to Shakespeare. Do the characters in that great dramatist's comedies improve with each successive play? Do they move forward to the more natural or is it just the opposite with them? …

The Dramatic Development Of Eugene O'Neill, Fredrich A. Glass

Bachelors’ Theses

The literature of the theatre, the drama, which Is worth reading, seeing and hearing, Is richer and finer In America today than in any other time. No profound search is necessary to discover who is most instrumental in the production of such a dramatic literature in America. Eugene O’Neill comes first to mind, towering, by virtue of his sheer dramatic genius of invention, so far above the others, that his supremacy is unquestionable.

Jealousy In Shakespeare's Tragedies, Harold M. Kimball

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In undertaking a study of the theme of jealousy, one must make some limitation of material. The field of literature as a whole, or the more limited ones of drama or even tragedy - each of these is too large for so short a study as this must be. Only certain aspects of such a restricted subject as the tragedies of Shakespeare can be given any thorough treatment, while others, both interesting and profitable, must be put aside; for instance, space will prohibit a careful comparison of Shakespeare's use of jealousy with that of other dramatists; nor can a study …

Robin Hood, Otterbein University

1907-1958 Productions

This classic children’s tale of Robin Hood and his followers is charming and delightful for children of all ages. Set in England’s Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood, with the help of his childhood sweetheart, Maid Marion, and his band of merry men “rob from the rich” (the evil Sheriff of Nottingham) and “give to the poor.” Action that both adults and children will enjoy abounds in this wonderful parable of goodness over evil.

Plot And Character In The Shavian Drama, Arthur Alan Gilbert

Bachelors’ Theses

George Bernard Shaw, as is always the case with people who are unconventional and who broach new doctrines, has become something of a storm-center about which his exponents and opponents rage. Few authors have during their lifetime created the sensation he has done unabatedly since 1890. In his report before the censorship committee which was examining into his plays, he defined what he was doing. "I am not any ordinary playwright in ordinary practice. I am a specialist in immoral and heretical plays."

The Function Of The Comedians In Shakespeare's Plays, Louise Elizabeth Tennessen

Bachelors’ Theses

There is an old adage, "It takes a wise man to make a fool", which is familiar to most of us, but the full significance of the proverb will be comprehended only after reviewing several plays in which the fools carry prominent parts. Tracing the history of the court fool back to the early and middle ages, it has been found that it was customary tor a monarch, prince or a powerful noble to have in his retinue a fool or jester, whose office it was to entertain his master and courtiers. He enjoyed privileges and liberties denied the higher …

Divine Justice In Aeschylean Tragedy, Anton C. Pegis

Bachelors’ Theses

Briefly, then, I intend to give an exposition of the seven extant plays from the point of view of the conflict between divine justice and moral freedom, with an attempt of reconstructing, in the light of criticism, the Aeschylean solution to the problems involved in the investigation. Maurice Croiset has said of Aeschylus that his dramas were revelations on the stage of the divine will; the Aeschylean meditative genius searched for causes, and thus each trilogy " divine l'expose dramatique d'une grande destinee, et, ainsi concue, elle eveilla desormais autant de peosee que d'emotion."

The Song In Elizabethan Drama With Particular Reference To Its Function In Shakespeare, John Joseph Plamondon

Master's Essays (1922 - )

We have approached our study of the song in Elizabethan Drama with the intention of accounting for the abundance of vocal music in the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and of explaining the use of song as a dramatic device. It has been considered necessary to a proper understanding of the place of song in the Romantic Drama to give a rather broad treatment of the subject, including a brief history of the song in the English theatre, the psychology of its origin, and the cause of its decline. Methods of presenting songs have been discussed to strengthen our …

The Characteristics Of The Elizabethan Drama With Particular References To Marlowe, Lyly, Greene, And Kyd, Mary Rose Schwigel

Bachelors’ Theses

Aristotle's simple definition of drama as "imitated human action" has not been bettered. Man cannot escape man even in the drama, and it is the ways of our kind that constitute the essentials of dramatic subject matter. From another well known definition we may gain another point of view. "A drama is an epic told in lyric parts." An epic, in lars, is a narrative poem, a story of deeds told outwardly and objectively by some one who has heard them. A lyrical poem is thew expression of an inner or subjective emotion by one who has felt what he …

The Symbolism And The Morality Of The Modern Drama, Florence Marie Schopps

Bachelors’ Theses

The drama has always been the mirror of the age. It is in contemporary drama more than in any other form of art that one finds the mouthpiece and the embodiments of the tur spirit of modernism. The drama of today is the drama of revolt. It opposes the tradition of the past. It is an open attack against the subject-matter, technique, and stagecraft of the drama of past centuries. It proposes changing standards of morality and uses symbolism as one of its chief modes of expression.

The Development Of The Drama From The Church, Karl V. Schoenecker

Bachelors’ Theses

In the study of the drama and especially the stage, we find that it had its death and inception in the Church. In the early stages of Christianity we find the Church condemning with great vigor all forms of stage presentations not for any destruction of art but because the stage was the visible representative of the old pagan life. Pagan ideas and culture were fostered and in the plays themselves lurked the thoughts of the old mythology.

The Development Of The Roman Theatre And Drama, And Its Relation To The Greek Drama And Culture, John F. Gminski

Bachelors’ Theses

Entering upon this treatise on the ancient theatre and drama, I will say that I had first intended to treat only of the Roman drama, and so had planned to make a critical survey of its production and development. But this I soon found to be quite ineffective as to the result for a study of ancient dramaturgy with an object of absorbing its soul. For there we first find, the theatre, the stage, which is as the art gallery of drama, to be intimately related to the drama; for drama and the theatre throughout their existence and period of …
