The Ceremony Of Innocence., Janusz Kozikowski

English Language and Literature ETDs

The earliest conceptions I had of The Ceremony of Innocence were almost purely structural and centered around the desire to create a completely autonomous experience, dependent on its own specific laws, and not a derivation from, or a representation of, psychological reality. At the same time, I wanted to design a theatrical spectacle which would be as amusing and enjoyable as a puppet show. Both of these concerns led far from the usual concerns of similitude and psychological realism. I wanted to create not only an atmosphere of isolation and disassociation which would ease the audience’s usual strain for interpretation, …

The Lord Of The Rings: A Christian Refounding Of The Political Order, Donald L. Reinken

Tolkien Journal

Examines the “severely classical moral doctrine” of The Lord of the Rings; discusses stewardship as “the proper subordination of Power to Care”; and approves of Tolkien’s “veiling of the Divine” by keeping overt religious references out of the work as a means of leading readers to understanding and affirmation. Reprinted from Christian Perspectives, Winter 1966.

An Evaluation Of The Autobiographical Interpretation Of Samson Agonistes, Edward P. Crockett

Master's Theses

Certainly, every reader of Samson Agonistes who is at all familiar with the circumstances of Milton's life, his thought, and the history of his times has been attracted by obvious parallels between 'the poet and certain aspects or his dramatic creation, and he may understandably assume that the presentation or the sufferings of Samson constitute intentional, hidden autobiography. To assume even the obvious, however, is something too blithely done. A little research into this area of Miltoniana will reveal to him that scholarly opinion concerning Samson Agonistes and autobiography is greatly varied and that some scholars are inclined not only …

The Escape Motif In The Modern American Novel: Mark Twain To Carson Mccullers, Samuel Bluefarb

English Language and Literature ETDs

The scope of this study is selective rather than comprehensive. The works discussed are probably the more significant and typical examples of the theme of flight, or escape, in the modern American novel. Many more works might have been included which reveal this particular motif, but the result would have been repetitious rather than revealing, massive rather than searching, broad rather than deep, in the nature of a survey rather than a probe. To compensate partially for any works neglected, omitted, or unconsciously slighted, I have included a two-part appendix. This appendix is divided into American novels of the pre-Twain …

Albert Camus's Requiem Pour Une Nonne Translated And Annotated, With Introductory Materials, Donald J. Pattow

English Language and Literature ETDs

The original purpose of this translation was twofold: to make available in English a hitherto untranslated work by Albert Camus; and, since Camus adapted, not merely translated, William Faulkner’s Requiem for a Nun, to afford a unique comparative study of these two modern writers.

The Narrator's View Of Hester Prynne:A Study Of Narrative Commentary About Hester Prynne In Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter., Stephanie Lee Mitchell

English Language and Literature ETDs

On the evening of February 3, 1850 Nathaniel Hawthorne completed The Scarlet Letter. Upon finishing the last scene he read, or “tried to read it, rather” to his wife, but found this difficult task.

. . . my voice swelled and heaved, as if I were tossed up and down on an ocean as it subsides after a storm. But I was in a very nervous state then, having gone through a great diversity of emotion while writing it for many months.

The “great diversity of emotion” which impelled Hawthorne’s unrelenting work on the romance was not to remain his …

The Great Taos Bank Robbery And Other Recollections, Anthony G. Hillerman

English Language and Literature ETDs

The essays included here fit the definition of that word more in its literal sense as "attempts" than in the literary meaning given the term by the art of Montaigne and Bacon. Specifically, they are attempts to express my views of the town of Taos, of the village of Pecos, of Northern New Mexico politics, and of two hunts for the knowledge of early man on the Llano de Albuquerque and for the source of a disease in the Pecos Wilderness Area. They presume of the reader neither special knowledge of, nor interest in, their subjects. They seek instead to …

The Unifying Theme Of Ben Jonson's Works As Shown In Sejanus And Volpone, Dorothy Mumford Logan

English Language and Literature ETDs

Jonson always has a central—and single—argument or truth: namely, men do not live by reason; on the contrary, they only pretend to reason, thus causing the world of folly or evil. Nor was this concept peculiar to Jonson. The presence of it in Discoveries is enough to mark it as established in critical tradition. Furthar, Jonson’s view of the nature of man is traceable from the classical concept of “right reason” to the Renaissance view of man as a being endowed with a divine reason which is continually at variance with his “will” to err. Almost any general book no …

In Search Of The Elizabethan Woman, Melba Mcdonald Burrows

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The modern woman, who analyzes every detail of her existence by means of the written word, finds the Elizabethan woman an enigma that defies a satisfactory solution. She received the finest education available in her day, and she lived during some of the stirring events in English history; yet she has left us almost no written record of her personal life and her attitude toward the world she knew. We catch glimpses of her materialistic life in the detailed accounts in which she recorded the financial transactions affecting her husband’s properties, but we do not know how she regarded the …
