Charlotte Bronte's Novels: The Artistry Of Their Construction, Anne Wonders Passel

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Charlotte Bronte is a conscious artist, avare of the demand of the novel form. In her four novels she demonstrates her understanding of the principles of organic unity. Each novel is based on a different pattern, but each achieves unity and coherence through the author's conscious use of structure, language, and theme.

The Professor (written in 1846-1847, published posthumously in 1857), though highly structured, seems the least expertly handled of her novels. Overly romantic, it holds rigidly to a predetermined three-part division, a triple emphasis which the author carries to the extreme. Her conscious attention to structure, however, indicates that …

Troilus And Criseyde: A Study In Chaucer's Narrative Technique, Eugene Henri Soules

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Troilus and Criseyde contains surprisingly little description (only two percent of the total number of lines); nevertheless, descriptions generate numerous dramatic parallels and thematic implications. For the most part, description concentrates on cosmography and characters. Chaucer omits detailed descriptions of interior settings - they are either ignored or impressionistically suggested by mention of single items - but, rather, he dwells on generalized impressions of seasons; detailed accounts of sunrises, sunsets, and astronomical conditions; and methodically controlled pictures of the major characters. To observe the overall effect and use Chaucer makes descriptive passages - to see authorial implication in passages of …

The Subangelic Vision Of Saul Bellow: A Study Of His First Six Novels, 1944-1964, Robert Roy Dutton

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

While there is an understandable reticence on the part of critics of contemporary American literature to make definitive judgements, there does seem to be a general consensus that the novels of Saul Bellow represent the contemporary American novel at its best. Moreover, this consensus comes not only from critical journals with an exclusive and limited circulation, it also is to be seen in publications of wider appeal, the weekly news magazines and the book reviews of daily newspapers. What is even more astonishing is that the reading public seems to agree with the critics and book reviewers; at this writing, …

Literary Study And Its Tradition: A Handbook Guide For Graduate Students In English., James Sebree Loveall

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Every serious student of English, no matter how many years separate him from the M.A. or Ph. D. degrees, must develop to a high degree the essential quality of independence which allows him to pursue investigation in his subject more or less on his own. He cannot continue to bother librarians for every specific source of information which he way need in pursuit of his assigned or self-imposed tasks either in class or out. He should know his way around the area of bibliography--the earlier in his academic career, the better. Surely his first ventures in this direction should not …

Report By Hans Schwalm On A Meeting With Sd Literature Advisor Ss-Hauptsturmführer Falk, October 21, 1942, Hans Schwalm

Norwegian Projects

In this document, Hans Schwalm describes a meeting with SS-Hauptsturmführer Falk, literature advisor of the SD. Falk was unable to recommend individuals to collaborate on Ahnenerbe work, but recommended Schwalm reach out to Fin Halvorsen and SS-Obersturmführer Bischof. He described struggling efforts by Gudmud Schnittler to publish a Norwegian lexikon, attributing the failure to anti-German sentiment and refusal to collaborate. He also warns against the circle of people led by Gulbrund Lunde, as they were focused on Norse identity ("norrön") in opposition to a pan-Germanic concept of identity, including efforts to purge German influences from the Norwegian language.
