Honors Theses

This is a self-centered, idiosyncratic wordblow. This paper is not an academic undertaking, it is more of a record of myself and my condition of being over the past two years. The paper is arranged chronologically from 1969 to the present and I have tried to combine philosophy and writing into making it a more understandable paper.

Backgrounds Of Mexican American Literature, Philip D. Ortego

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study attempts to define the heretofore amorphous body of Mexican American literature as well as providing an understanding of what American literature should have been: that is, a literary fabric not exclusively woven on the Atlantic frontier by the descendants of New England Puritans and Southern Cavaliers, but one woven in the American Southwest as well, and with marvelous Hispanic threads which reach back not only to the literary heritage of the European continent but also the very heart of the Graeco-Roman world.

Like the British roots in the new American soil, the Hispanic literary roots have yielded a …

Paradise: The Failure Of An Ideal., Nancy C. Cotton

English Language and Literature ETDs

A lost paradise in man's mythic past has evoked tra­ditionally a feeling of intense nostalgia. Yet in Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, in Marvell's garden lyrics, in Gulliver's "Voyage to the Houyhnhnms," and in Rasselas, this elegiac sentiment is countered by a sense of boredom and dissatisfaction with the state of paradise. Partly by relating paradise and stoicism and partly through the means of parody and comedy, these works describe an impossible relationship between a life of reason, fulfillment, and harmony, and a human nature of unappeasable desires. Thus, there is a shift of concentration from the object of per­ception …

The Idea Of Evil In The Poetry Of Blake And Shelley:A Comparative Study., Melanie Flossie Bandy

English Language and Literature ETDs

This analogical study attempts, through comparison, to define and elucidate Blake's and Shelley's ideas about the origin, manifestation and eradication of evil. Neither poet, for the most part, possesses a “tragic” view of evil, but it is the conclusion of the dissertation that the view they do have is nevertheless intellectually respectable and tenable. Blake defines evil as a "negative accident," a sin, error or mistake arising from suppressed energy. Shelley, however, accepted sane evils as absolute (the death, chance and mutability of Prometheus Unbound, for example), and his skepticism (based on reason) always kept up a running battle with …

Misery Of Birth And State Essays On The Tragedies Of James Shirley., Elaine Bush Kalmar

English Language and Literature ETDs

Of Shirley's almost forty extant plays, five are tragedies. They can be examined fruitfully as windows to their time, as documents in the history of ideas and as literary works of art. The tragedies reveal Shirley's continuing interest in the theme of enforced marriage. That Shirley views parental and royal control of women in courtship and marriage as tragic can perhaps be explained by the unique circumstances of the Caroline years. When Shirley wrote, two puritan doctrines, election for love in marriage, and the social contract in politics, were eclipsing the medieval and Tudor notions that marriage was merely a …

Mrs. Gaskell's Industrial Novels: Mary Barton And North And South, Yvette D. Marambaud

Master's Theses

Since 1910, when Mrs. Gaskell's centenary was celebrated, few articles have been written about her. Except for her Life of Charlotte Bronte, she is not really well known in America. Few people read her tales or her short stories, and her novels are quite neglected. Yet her industrial novels, Mary Barton (1848) and North and South (1855), were very successful when they were first published. Mary Barton was an immediate success - perhaps in part because of the controversies it aroused.

Existentialism As Reflected In The Imagery Of William Styron's Work, Sally Yates Wood

Master's Theses

In Lie Down in Darkness, The Long March and Set This House on Fire. William Styron studies the modern condition of man and his world. Styron describes this situation according to an existential definition of existence. The world of his novels is depicted as a lonely and bleak realm where man finds no external means of support. As a result of these conditions, man flounders aimlessly. The reason for this erratic behavior is that man relies too heavily on finding guidance from the outside world. Styron contends that man will continue to stumble so miserably, until he realizes that he …

The Shifting Voice;A Study Of Robert Lowell's Poetry., Myrna Bouchey

English Language and Literature ETDs

This; study traces the development of Robert Lowell's poetic mc1thod from Lord Weary' s Castle through Notebook 1968-69, exclusive of Lowell's translations. Through descriptive analysis, the study pays particular attention to Lowell's alteration of style as he proceeds from book to book, carrying with him the same general themes, but using a variety of voices which reflect his shifts in focus. A major portion of each chapter examines distinguishing stylistic devices that either remain constant in his poetry or undergo major modifications through his experiments with form and voice.

Interaction Process Analysis Of Harold Pinter's The Homecoming: Toward A Phenomenological Criticism Of Drama, Joseph Anthony Hunt

English Language and Literature ETDs

Much contemporary criticism tends to judge and interpret theater on preconceived grounds peculiar to the critic, rather than in terms of dramatic action--the play itself. In part, the critic who is responsible for clarifying the meaning of often perplexing, "open" forms of contemporary drama has been handed an impossible task, for the playwrights are apparently dedicated to a view of reality that doggedly refuses to follow a set, external pattern capable of resolution into easy meaning. An excellent example is Harold Pinter's The Homecoming, a play which has led critics to elaborate, subjective interpretations in their attempts to resolve its …

The Holograph Ballads Of John Payne Collier From The Hall Commonplace Book, Folger Ms. V. A. 339, Eric J. C. Berryman

English Language and Literature ETDs

This is the first edition with an introduction, notes, and commentary of John Payne Collier's eighty-three holograph ballads in Folger MS. V. a. 339. Written between approximately 1843 and 1849, they were composed in imitation of ballads of the time of Elizabeth and James I. In the course of his lifetime, Collier published thirty-four of them either wholly or in part in his Extracts from the Registers of the Stationers' Company... 1557-1570 and, Vol. II, 1570-1587 (Shakespeare Society, 1848 and 1849). Eighteen others are included in his Twenty-five Old Ballads and Songs (privately printed, 1869). Interspersed among the fabrications …
