Shakespeare's Treatment Of Kingship In The Lancastrian Tetralogy, June Stemen Allman

Master's Theses

The English history play reached its highest peak of development between 1595 and 1599, for it was during these years that Shakespeare wrote the set of four plays covering the historical period from Richard II to Henry V. Each of the plays is a single entity, but in their entirety, they constitute a unified tetralogy concerning the rise of the house of Lancaster. Through the illegal seizure of the crown by Bolingbroke from Richard II to the glorious reign of Henry V, Shakespeare, as an intensely political writer, examines the facets of kingship and its inherent power and authority.

Ring Lardner As Dadaist, Buford Donald Fisher

Master's Theses

This thesis is not a history of Dada, nor does it attempt to trace any direct influences that Ring Lardner may have on current literature. What it does strive to achieve is proper understanding of one facet of Lardner's work.

During the period that the Dad ists were actively trying to establish a new order by destroying the old (and theoretically, Dada itself), Lardner was creating nonsense playlets . His critics, for the most part, could not comprehend his intentions, so this aspect of his work was relegated to obscurity.

Half a century later, Dada has become more relevant historically; …

An Examination Of The Influence Of August Strindberg Upon Eugene O'Neill, Mary Emily Parsons Edwards

Master's Theses

Eugene O'Neill made no effort to hide the names of those writers and literary works which were important to him, and most of his biographers cite the fact that from the commencement of his playwrighting [sic] career O'Neill was influenced by the Swedish writer August Strindberg. O 'Neill himself was, in fact, one of the first to call attention to the kinship between his work and that of his "Master." In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, he indicated that he was delighted to have an opportunity to discuss the debt Ameri­can drama owed to the modern drama of Europe, and, …

The Role Of The Peripheral Narrator In Moby-Dick, Heart Of Darkness And The Great Gatsby, Erana Leiken

Master's Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the unique role of the peripheral narrator in Moby-Dick, Heart of Darkness and The Great Gatsby. Each narrator's point of view is unique in that, though he is a character within the story, his participation in the action is restricted by his peripheral status which allows him to witness and evaluate the other characters, particularly the pro­tagonlst. The distinguishing characteristic of this narrative frame necessitated by the use of such a narrator is that the author surrenders his omniscience regarding his other characters by letting his narrator tell the reader only what …

The Unity Of A Shropshire Lad, Robert B. Brown

Honors Theses

To understate the case, one might point out that there are those readers whose initial reaction to A Shropshire Lad is that it is a disunified bundle of poems. I assert, however, that this judgement should not endure, for when this volume of poetry is viewed in a more critical perspective there arises a deeper understanding and, consequently, a more rewarding appreciation. Moreover, I assert that it is in this final analysis alone that A Shropshire Lad emerges in its proper perspective.

In addition, it is the contention of this thesis that this unity may be viewed through at least …

Robert Penn Warren's Brother To Dragons : A Poem To Fit Its Theme, Marjorie Scott

Honors Theses

Robert Penn Warren is a writer obsessed with ideas, to the extent of spending most of his literary life searching for a form that would enable him to express them. Most of his searching has taken place within the framework of the novel form: in fact, within that form he has tried eight different combinations of characters, plot, and point of view in an effort to find an arrangement that would say what he so urgently wanted to say. Judging from the results, however, it was always what he wanted to say that interested him more than the actual mechanics …

Tolkien And Coleridge, Clyde S. Kilby

Tolkien Journal

Finds similarities in both authors’ love of philology, ability to tell a spell-binding story, and the long torment of the Mariner and Frodo, as well as an essentially Catholic orientation and a regard for the numinous nature of life. (The author does not posit any influence on Tolkien by Coleridge but simply notes similarities.)

Hobbits: Common Lens For Heroic Experience, David M. Miller

Tolkien Journal

Theorizes that works of fantasy need some sort of bridge linking them to the primary world in order to have literary depth. After discussing bridging devices in several other fantasies, notably Eddison’s The Worm Ouroboros, the author locates Tolkien’s bridging device in the initial utter ordinariness and realistic character growth of the hobbits, with whom the reader is led to identify from the start and therefore throughout their later encounters with the high and heroic of Middle -earth.
