Byronic Heroes And Heroines: The Theme Of Love And Recurrent Imagery, Chanda D. Clary

English Language and Literature ETDs

This thesis concerns a study of the Byronic hero and heroine, and the theme of love, along with supporting imagery. Included in the study are analyses of Childe Harold, The Giaour, The Bride of Abydos, The Corsair, Lara, Manfred, Cain, Sardanapalus, Beppo, and Don Juan.

The Byronic hero is found to be partly a stereotype and partly a complete hero comprised of masculine and feminine principles of behavior. Contrary to many critics' assertions, the Byronic hero does not stand alone, for he always has one true love who ties him to humanity.

The Byronic heroines have some similarities, but are …

Hawthorne's Hester & Zenobia: Possible Reflections Of Nineteenth Century Feminism & The Writings Of Margaret Fuller, Carolyn Raiser

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The thesis focuses upon the possible influences of Margaret Fuller upon Nathaniel Hawthorne's creation of Hester in The Scarlet Letter and Zenobia in The Blithedale Romance. It suggests that Hester and Zenobia are feminists who may owe much of their characterization as developed through their feminist arguments to Margaret Fuller, a nineteenth century feminist and acquaintance of Hawthorne's. Hawthorne and Fuller are placed in historical context within the feminist movement of the nineteenth century by examining some of the leading feminists and their concerns regarding women's rights. Margaret Fuller's writings and ideas are examined, along with her relationship to Hawthorne. …

An Analysis Of Form And Vision In Chekhov's Major Plays, Mary Moylan Oppenheimer

Master's Theses

In his art Chekhov confronted and gave expression to the major questions of man's existence. It is the thesis of this paper that Chekhov saw the central fact and problem of life as that of displacement: that in life man frequently finds himself "out of place" either psychologically or physically (sometimes both) and that inevitably he is completely displaced by death.

Parody And Vision In The Designs Of Blake's Jerusalem, Adrienne Atkinson

Honors Papers

This thesis by no means exhausts the possible ways in which word and image combine to form Jerusalem. The discussions are intended to illuminate how parody is expressed in the designs although many other aspects of the plates could be examined. I have selected those plates which show most clearly that the recognition of the relationship between parody and vision, error and truth, is for Blake essential to man's renovation. Beginning with simple examples. I will conclude with a consideration of the five full plate designs which form a frame for Jerusalem. I will concentrate on the designs but the …

Isolation In The Dramas Of T.S. Eliot, Jean Conway

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

T.S. Eliot is a monumental figure in literature. He distinguished himself as a poet in his youth, as a critic in his middle age, and as a dramatist in his later years. Because of the vitality of Eliot’s early literary works, his dramas are frequently bypassed by critics when discussing the major themes that interested him as an artist. The purpose this study is to examine thoroughly Eliot’s position on isolation and alienation as revealed in his seven plays: Sweeney Agonistes (1926), The Rock (1934), Murder in the Cathedral (1935), The Family Reunion (1939), The Cocktail Party (1949), The Confidential …

Portrayals Of Blacks By Authors And Illustrators Of Children's Literature And How Their Literature Affects Children's Attitudes, Diane Amdahl

Graduate Research Papers

Children associate with each other every day. They work, play, and have fun together in school church, organizations, recreation, etc. For many children much of this association is limited to others of their own race. How, then, do they learn to accept others of different races? How do they learn to work, play, and have fun with these children? Integration has forced the association of white children with black children, but this does not always bring acceptance, and acceptance is the beginning of a total relationship.

It is the intent of this paper to show how children's literature can promote …

The Composite Art Of Blake's "Laughing Song", William Robert Warner

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

During the past five years, the literary critics have discovered William Blake, helping readers to understand clearly the various stages of development and the final form of the poet's entire mythology. And recent criticism has also clarified and expressed more systematically than earlier criticism certain features of Blake's total thought. Nevertheless, much recent criticism has hindered rather than helped the serious student of Blake's poetry.] Most critics treat Blake's poems as if they were only literary, completely avoiding discussion of their visual components. Yet, Blake clearly envisioned and intended that his reader view the poetry as a new form consisting …
