Changing Of The Seasons: Wallace Stevens' Poetic Interpretations Of The Cyclic Continuum, Mary Rita Beltz Jan 1977

Changing Of The Seasons: Wallace Stevens' Poetic Interpretations Of The Cyclic Continuum, Mary Rita Beltz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1970 - 1979

A dominating principle in the poetry of Wallace Stevens is that of mutability - the belief that the universe does and should exist in a process of constant change, His use of the seasonal cycles integrates that process in both their physical appearance and as states of imaginative perception for the poet. Stevens draws a deeply thematic analogy between the relationship of imagination and reality and the flowering and unveiling of the physical world. nis poetics alternate from the first hint of string with its hope of new fictions to the wintry bareness of perceiving things exactly as they are. …


Portrayal Of Adolescence In The Novels Of Carson Mccullers, Susan Anne Bindas Jan 1977

Portrayal Of Adolescence In The Novels Of Carson Mccullers, Susan Anne Bindas

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1970 - 1979

Adolescents play an integral role in Carson McCullers' work, particularly The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, The Member of the Wedding, and Clock Without Hands. In these novels the characterizations of Mick, Frankie, Jester, and Sherman are drawn with an intuitive awareness of principles of adolescent psychology. McCullers focuses on the expectations, uncertainties, and contradictions of the adolescent years. However, her novels are much more than stories of troubled teens. Largely because of their adolescent characteristics, Nick, Frankie, Jester, and Sherman serve as fitting symbolic vehicles for McCullers' exploration of such ageless themes as the search for self and the …


South African Analogue To "Absalom, Absalom|" (Faulkner, Paton), Jerry Cain Blanton Jan 1977

South African Analogue To "Absalom, Absalom|" (Faulkner, Paton), Jerry Cain Blanton

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1970 - 1979

Literature is influenced by the society in which it is written. Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner and Too Late the Phalarope by Alan Paton have many similarities because the societies which produced them have similarities. The Old South and the Afrikaner society of South Africa have many historical occurrences and cultural attitudes in common, among them: former slave societies, wars with aborigenes, an agrarian-industrial conflict in which they were defeated, racial segregation, Calvinist religion, and an intermingling of the past and the present. Absalom, Absalom! and Too Late the Phalarope have the following in common: tone, titles of despair, character …

An Otherwise Report, M. Q. Rice Feb 1976

An Otherwise Report, M. Q. Rice

Faculty Honor Lectures

In defense of myself and the Honors Committee I accept this assignment as a tribute for something, possibly for setting a new record as a hunger artist or for simply staying in town and reciting the penitential psalms daily for over 40 years. I have a sneaking suspicion that they may be exposing me for not being creative in the Greek sense of fulfilling the promise of one's birth. If I had got around to writing Pericles' funeral oration, Dostoevsky's "Grand Inquisitor," or E. E. Cummings' "What if a Much of a Which of a Wind," as I fully intended …

The Genesis And Development Of "Parker's Back", Kara Pratt Brewer Jan 1976

The Genesis And Development Of "Parker's Back", Kara Pratt Brewer

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

”Parker’s Back” is the last short story Flannery O'Connor wrote before the ravaging disease Lupus took her life in August of 1964. When Caroline Gordon visited her “in a hospital a few weeks before her death,” she spoke of her concern about finishing it. “She told me that the doctor had forbidden her to do any work. He said that it was all right to write a little friction, though, she added with a grin and drew a notebook from under her pillow. She kept it there she told me and was trying to finish a story which she hoped …

The Art And Tradition Of Black Autobiography In The Eighteenth Century, Angelo Costanzo Jan 1976

The Art And Tradition Of Black Autobiography In The Eighteenth Century, Angelo Costanzo

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

Recent interest in the autobiographical mode of writing has focused on almost all forms of fictional and nonfictional works of literature. Articles and books have appeared on religious and political authors, such as Malcolm X, Norman Mailer, and Eldridge Cleaver; while at the same time other studies have emerged dealing with the confessional mode in writing. Recent poets, such as Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, and Allen Ginsberg, who give various versions of their life stories in poems, have figured in many careful scrutinies of the confessional and autobiographical school of poetry, which goes back to William Wordsworth and Walt Whitman. …


Principles And Prisms: Symbolic Structure In The Poetry Of Wallace Stevens, Ricardo Manuel Pau-Llosa Jan 1976

Principles And Prisms: Symbolic Structure In The Poetry Of Wallace Stevens, Ricardo Manuel Pau-Llosa

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1970 - 1979

A detailed analysis of Wallace Stevens' rock and statue symbols, as they recur throughout the poet's career, reveals an intricate chronological pattern. Such a pattern is based on Stevens' philosophical commitment to a world of constant change and elusive perceptual assertions. Stevens' symbols operate through a system of meaning which is controlled and variable at the same time. Two concepts of symbolic structure are defined: the prismatic principle, or focal point through which all meanings are projected, and the spectrum of import, the expansive pattern which shapes and modulates symbolic meaning. Symbols zig-zag from abstract to concrete levels of meaning …
