An Analysis Of The Mythological Allusions In The Literature And Life Series, Claire Nelson Starr

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

This study has been prepared to determine the extent and character or the mythology in the content or the Liter­ature and Life Series, which has been adopted for use in the high schools of Kansas. This information is essential to discover what knowledge is needed for the student using these books. During eight years of teaching literature in junior and senior high schools, the writer has been increas­ingly aware of the pupil's apalling lack or knowledge of classical mythology. Much of our best English poetry lies beyond the reach of many readers because of their unfamiliarity with the commonplaces of …

An Evaluation And Criticism Of Shakespeare's Use Of Historical Materials In A Selected Group Of His History-Dramas (Henry Vi, Parts I, Ii, Iii And Richard Iii), Ivy Oppy

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This thesis is an examination of the historical accurateness of Shakespeare's Henry VI, and Richard III. Interpretation of established facts plays a great part in the use of historical facts. Shakespeare, in an age of highly developed nationalism, pictures an age in which historically there is no evidence of nationalism.

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 …

The Short Story Technique Of Wilbur Daniel Steele, Grace Mcmahan Rogers

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The juggernaut of Industrialism is running amok in America today – and its blind, crazed devotees are being crushed amid the clamor and the noise, the abandoned irresponsibility of a barbaric festival. Industrialism is affecting all literature, but the short story, is chiefly threatened. The magazine is its forum, and the magazine must make money or suspend. The commercialized short-story is a mirror of the times – it takes in all movements. The American short-stories form a composite picture of life in the United States. The typical short story in the past quarter-century, and particularly since the World War, as …

The Skepticism Of Anatole France, Margaret E. Camp

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

When Anatole France died 1n 1924, he had the satisfaction of knowing that he had lived long enough to enjoy the honors which are not usually bestowed upon men until their death. His long life filled with years of labor and earnest endeavor to improve the lives of his fellow-men, through a better adjustment to society, culminated in his election to the French Academy.

By some critics he has been called the greatest writer of today. It is difficult to tell exactly upon what merits this distinction is based. Anatole France was not content to simply call himself a skeptic. …

The Rise Of The Short Story In American Letters, Mary M. Barra

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Like all other nations America too has had her birth in the literally world. Her beginning has not been less forceful than other nations. We find that English literature, undivided in the past, at the end of the nineteenth century has four divisions: British, American, Canadian, and Australian. The British is still the most important since it has the greatest literary background. But the steadily growing American literature ranks second to it. We glory in this heritage as much as the British because we feel that it belongs to us as well, and prize this tremendous possession

Romanticism In The Novels And Legends Of Gertudis Gomez De Avellaneda, Jean W. Mander

Graduate Thesis Collection

Not withstainding the adverse criticism given the prose works of Gertudis Gomez de Avellaneda by such men as Fitzmaurice-Kelly as less notable, I have found her novels and tales to be worthy of consideration. They are extremely romantic, some being full of the fantastic and grotesque, while others are historical similar to those of Sir Walter Scott. These romantic novels have a genuine and natural charm which makes them very pleasing to read. Most of them have been called sentimental tras , but still they contain numerous qualities of romanticism at its best. It will be my duty and pleasure …

Modern Youth And Literature (With Emphasis Upon Creative Education), Ralph Westerman

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In writing a thesis dealing with such an amazingly wide subject as modern youth one is staggered by the quantities of material that one must read. It is true that most of the research work concerning the young American is propaganda of one kind of another: someone must prove that youth is degenerate; or someone must prove that youth is god-like. Between these two extremes much has been written in an attempt to prove that youth is simply youth--little or no different from the youth of any other age. It is all very illuminating and it is all a bit …

George Meredith's Ideas Of Religion., Mary Ellis Duncan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Every man is to a greater or less degree a product of the influences surrounding his life. The more commonplace minds of the race, no doubt, are chiefly affected; and occasionally we find a man or woman of so keen an intellect, so striking an individuality, that it is difficult to trace the influence of his age upon him. Rather he becomes a power in forming the opinions of the next generation, stands in advance of his own period. Of this individualistic type if George Meredith, one of the greatest of the nineteenth century writers, if not foremost among them.
