The Existential Journey Of Bigger Thomas: A Critical Examination Of Richard Wright's "Native Son", Marcia Speth

Student Work

The 1940 publication of Richard Wright’s Native Son was a major event in the literary history of the United States. The first widely published novel by and about a black man became a Book-of-the-Month-Club selection, subject of voluminous critical response. The popularity with white audiences of a work that is vehemently critical of white society was due in part to the sensational advertising campaign attached to it. Promoted as in exciting crime story, the novel was undoubtedly a shocking experience for radically unsophisticated segments of the white reading public and press.

Myth And Initiation In The Novels Of Fanny Burney, Olive Graham

Student Work

The word “myth” has gone through significant charges with-in the last half century, and these changes have had a profound effect on the study and criticism of literature. Contemporary literary criticism has construed myth to refer to something that is true. The fact that myth may be used in reference to something fabricated does not diminish this presentation of the word.

Patterns Of Motion In Wordsworth's "Prelude", Eleanor J. James

Student Work

William Wordsworth is best known as a poet of Nature, a painter of verbal landscapes glorifying clouds, flowers, trees, lakes, and mountains. And as a contemporaneous review of one of his works notes, “In his poetry, nothing in Nature is dead.” The Wordsworthian landscape is alive with the motion of winds, rivers, and vapors and of mountains which seemed to rise up majestically before the viewers eyes. Whether he is viewing a panoramic scene of lakes and mountains or observing “the meanest flower that blows,” Wordsworth exhibits an acute awareness of motion. The motion may be unobtrusive as a whip …

An Experiment Comparing The Relative Effectiveness Of A Linear And A Context Program In Teaching Some Selected Persian Words With Reference To The Persian Alphabet To English Speaking People, Batool Moghadam

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study was to test the relative effectiveness of a linear and a context program in teaching some selected Persian words to English speaking people.

A survey of the literature did not reveal studies closely related to the present study, but it revealed studies verifying the usefulness of programed instruction in general, and also some limited attempts made to set up programs for teaching Persian to Americans. There has been increasing attention by educators to programed instruction in the last fifteen years. The idea was also supported that there is a need in the United States for …

Paradise Lost And The Book Of Job: A Comparison Of Forbidden Knowledge, Sin Intercession, Restoration And Theodicy, Philip A. Powell

Student Work

It should not be surprising to anyone who has read Paradise Lost to find evidence of the Book of Job in Milton’s epic. The Book of Job is part of the Old Testament wisdom literature, and there is no doubt that Milton was familiar with the text. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate parallels in the systems of Ideas of Paradise Lost and the Book of Job. It is not my intention to prove deliberate modeling of Paradise Lost after the Book of Job, nor do I intend to make passage to passage correlations between the two books.

Milton's Paradise Lost: From The Paradise Without To The Paradise Within, Brian John Wagner

Student Work

In the eighteenth century, Miltonic criticism centered around Paradise Lost as an orthodox creed: “the heterodox elements were not noticed, and the poem appealed equally to Anglicans, Dissenters, Roman Catholics, and Deists.”

Journey Within The Uroboros: A Study Of The Psychological Development Of Edward Albee's Male Characters In Connection With The Mother Archtype, Barbara Schmitz

Student Work

In “Archetype and Signature” Leslie Fiedler discusses the concepts created by I. A. Richards of “staying inside the poem,” and regarding the poem as an “essential experience.” He further defines Richards “new criticism” by giving it slogan—“a poem should not mean but be.” Ultimately, Fiedler finds both this approach of the work of art and Eliot’s “objective correlative” (a poem succeeds only insofar as it is detached from the subjectivity of its maker) wanting. He sees the poet's life as a “focusing glass” through which all aspects of his work must pass and feels that a sense of the life …

Patterns In The Poetry Of Sylvia Plath, Denise Levertov, And Howard Nemerov, Cameron G. Northouse

Student Work

Nearly all would agree that the first purpose of literary criticism is to determine the artistic merit of a written work. Of course, this general agreement founders when it is carried to its logical step: deciding on the criteria for this aesthetic evaluation. The multiplicity of critical approaches currently appreciated create a morass of aesthetic criteria that largely leaves the initial purpose of literary criticism without any definitive statement. We all know the purpose of criticism is to discern art from non-art, but the subjectivity of this intended purpose, coupled with its sheer simplicity of expression, leaves the critic with …

Isolation And Integration: Thematic Elements In The Fiction Of Dh Lawrence, Merrilee. Moshier

Student Work

D. H. Lawrence asserts in his essay “The Spirit of Place” that the state of mind of an individual determines whether he can discover his personal freedom. This freedom is not a political, but a personal, mental one in which the individuals being grows towards wholeness and integration. Certain aspects of one's environment may facilitate this development, says Lawrence: Men are free when they are in a living Homeland, not when they are straying and breaking away. Men are free when they are obeying some deep, inward voice of religious belief. Obeying from within. Men are free when active and …

A Study Of The Sea And The Search For Paradise Regained In "Typee", :Mardi", And "Moby-Dick", Mary Jane Kopperud Ramsey

Student Work

In Typee, Mardi, and Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, the sea functions as a symbol which expresses Melville's changing worldview. The most important characteristic of a symbol is that its referent is non-ostensive. That is, the symbol refers not only to an intangible concept but also one that can only be defined completely or comprehended fully. It may be that symbols are derived from man's awareness of the absurdity of his existence. Man is not responsible for his birth, nor can he avoid his death. During his empirical existence he craves some kind of order, unity, reason, and meaning in this …

A Study Of The Dual Vision In The Novels Of Thornton Wilder, Virginia M. Clark

Student Work

“The art of literature springs from two curiosities, a curiosity about human beings pushed to such an extreme that it resembles love, and a love of a few masterpieces of literature so absorbing that it has all the richest elements of curiosity… The training for literature must be acquired by the artist alone, through the passionate assimilation of a few masterpieces written from a spirit somewhat like his own, and of a few masterpieces written from a spirit not at all like his own.” Thus, early in his writing career, Pulitzer Prize winner, Thornton Wilder, identified the sources of his …

Initiation In The Novels Of Carl Jonas, Pat Williams

Student Work

Carl Jones is a native Omahan who writes of midwesterners in a setting strongly suggestive of Omaha. He satirizes the folkways and institutions of the breadbasket area, but he should not be categorized as merely a regional writer because he explores themes of universal concern to man. One of the most important of these themes is man's quest for meaning and dignity in a world which is often enigmatic and cruel. It is that quest which all of Jones' novels are concerned, and it is that theme—initiation--which forms the subject of this thesis.
