A Certain Solid Ground : The Mary-Martha Motif In The Fiction Of Katherine Anne Porter, Rosemary Mulvaney Dietrick

Master's Theses

She had spent years of strategic warfare trying to beat those people out of her life; then more years trying to ignore them; to forget them; to hate them; and in the end she loved them as she knew well she was meant in simple nature to do, and acknowledged it; it brought her no peace, and yet it put a certain solid ground under her feet.

The preceding passage from Katherine Anne Porter 's Ship of Fools reveals the rebellious thoughts of a young American artist named Jenny, an almost autobiographical heroine, who inveighs against the pragmatic women in …

Images Of Despair And Hope In Three Plays By Jean-Paul Sartre, Philip Lewis Preston

Master's Theses

Jean-Paul Sartre has altered his outlook on life and his intellectual involvement in society several times during the last forty-five years, and further changes are certainly possible. Nevertheless, through his pro-communist stance during the years of French Occupation, his denouncement of the Communists after the 1956 Hungarian revolt, and his more recent position of anti-intellectualism, Sartre has endeavored to define how a man can achieve freedom and hope.

The Crux Of Merging Deltas: A Note On Alan Sillitoe, Robert S. Haller

Department of English: Faculty Publications

First paragraph:

The English Writer Alan Sillitoe is, to most Americans, a man of two books (or movies): Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (with Albert Finney); and The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner (with Tom Courtenay). Indeed, most Americans do not know that he has produced a book a year since 1959 (when The Long Distance-Runner came out), including eight other novels, three books of poems, two collections of short stories, one book of travel, one play, and one children's book. They know little about his life or the progress of his career, about his international connections or his present …

Selected Poems, Norman Macleod

Ahsahta Press

When Ahsahta Press began to publish poetry in 1975, the first poet selected by press founder and editor Tom Trusky was native westerner Norman MacLeod. MacLeod, born in 1906, had been published in some of the leading periodicals of his day and also produced several novels. After fifty years of writing, teaching, and publishing, his poetry had become largely unknown to contemporary readers. The editors of Ahsahta Press sought out a representative body of MacLeod’s work and presented Selected Poems as the inaugural publication of the then-burgeoning press. More than a quarter-century later, contemporary readers still have the opportunity to …

Called Back, Patricia Y. Ikeda

Honors Papers

Settling: They left Japan and came to Colorado, got land. Typhoid came down the mountain stream, they drove a truck to Indiana, the black cast-iron pans swinging from the sides. A stillborn child, a hard winter. And the house so cold the water froze in the pitchers at night. Sunlight in the catalpa leaves, breeze through the asparagus fronds. My grandmother puts on her bonnet, in the garden the heat rises around her. I stand by the window, waiting for the hummingbird, looking through a stack of brittle yellow magazines that open from the back. A heavy maroon bathrobe, stiff …

The Dialectic Of Tragedy In "Hamlet," "Macbeth," And "Othello", Andrew Kaufman

Honors Papers

The purpose of this essay will be to suggest a reading of Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello which I don't believe has received sufficient attention. The interpretation I will present is not meant to be suggested as the only valid reading of the plays, but as a reading which should be considered along with many other valid readings, in attempts to gain insight into these three major tragedies, and to understand their points of similarity.

Playing For Real: The Experience Of Drama At Medieval York, Christopher Baswell

Honors Papers

Almost all English drama suffers from the awful curse of having been written either before or after the works of William Shakespeare. It is generally admitted that no English dramatist rivals Shakespeare ; as a result, ever since the invention of "literacy criticism" sometime in the nineteenth century, Shakespeare has received the lion's share of critical attention paid to the theater. Later playwrights have, indeed, been given a certain amount of critical treatment. The real losers have been the plays written before Shakespeare's time-- the theater of the Middle Ages.

The Process Of Vision: Lambert Strether And Henry James, Judy Karasik

Honors Papers

The moral development of Strether in The Ambassadors is, as James says in the Preface, "a process of vision." From beginning to end, it is not what happens in the novel but how Strether sees it that provides James with a vehicle for the "development of extremes" which show the pitfalls of the moral and the aesthetic senses. Strether's "process of vision" restricts the point of view in the novel to his consciousness, and his return to America at the close of the book resolves the series of perceptions. James, while denying the possibility of moral action between people, creates …

The Readability Level Of The Newberry Award Books And The National Book Awards For Children, 1969-1975, Marilyn R. Wood

Graduate Research Papers

So many conflicting opinions have been advanced about the popularity of the Newbery books with children, the grade level they are best suited for, and the value of encouraging children to read these books. The National Book Awards for Children have caused less controversy, perhaps because they have not been around as long. Yet, the same criticisms and comments could be made about these books also.

Katherine Anne Porter : A Change In Her Mexican Perspective, Mario Paris-Fernandez

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Katherine Anne Porter regards Mexico as her "familiar country." lndeed, Mexico in the art of this gifted American writer is more important than generally believed for, as William Nance says, "Mexico entered into her earliest work as both motivating force and subject matter."

Miss Porter has traveled extensively in Mexico and lived there on several occasions. Her highly developed artistic sensibility has allowed her to gain more than a mere familiarity with the country, its inhabitants, and its history. Naturally, her deep knowledge of the culture is reflected in her artistic production, part of which is devoted exclusively to Mexico. …
