Early And Modern Criticism Of Browning's Pauline, Paracelsus, And Sordello, Leota Jean Lapaz Jun 1958

Early And Modern Criticism Of Browning's Pauline, Paracelsus, And Sordello, Leota Jean Lapaz

English Language and Literature ETDs

A study of certain of the critical comments -- both favorable and unfavorable -- that have been published on Pauline, Paracelsus, and Sordello should add materially to a better understanding not only of the poems themselves, but also of their relation to the totality of Browning's work. Such a study is the subject of this thesis, which may be regarded as having a three-fold purpose: (1) To focus attention upon the three poems with which Browning began his career; (2) to establish and comment upon early and modern critical opinions of the poems; and (3) to determine whether …


Religion And Tradition In The Novels Of George Eliot, Viva Fisk Jun 1958

Religion And Tradition In The Novels Of George Eliot, Viva Fisk

English Language and Literature ETDs

Readers and critics of the past have overemphasized George Eliot's loss of belief in the literal truth of Christianity to the extent that they have read her novels as rationalistic attacks on religion. She never denied religious values: her religion broadened to include such concepts as the value of tradition, of values inherited from the past, and of love and understanding as social forces. I turn to the novels to show these attitudes and ideas of George Eliot about religion and tradition precisely because so many commentators have neglected the novels and written only about women.


Brand Whitlock: His Life And His Fiction, Juanita Smith Kytle Jun 1958

Brand Whitlock: His Life And His Fiction, Juanita Smith Kytle

English Language and Literature ETDs

Brand Whitlock lived a varied and active life during an extremely complex period of our history. The threads have not, by any means, been disentangled, but there are some generalizations which may be made. Even though they offer the difficulties that all generalizations do, the following tentative conclusions may be of some help in fitting the man into his time; they may be used, perhaps, as a framework on which to hang the complexities.


The Art And Mind Of O. E. Rølvaag, Paul M. Reigstad Jun 1958

The Art And Mind Of O. E. Rølvaag, Paul M. Reigstad

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study is primarily a discussion of the novels of the Norwegian-American writer, O. E. Rølvaag. Though one cannot read his books without recognizing their importance as historical documents and social criticism, my main objective has been to consider his merit as a literary artist rather than to evaluate his cultural program. I have quoted frequently from his letters, many of which here appear for the first time, in order to reveal the development of ideas that recur as dominant themes in the novels.


Myth In Marlowe's Dramas, Agnes Therese Hinkley Apr 1958

Myth In Marlowe's Dramas, Agnes Therese Hinkley

English Language and Literature ETDs

To be intelligible to his age, a playwright must mirror and reflect the feelings and thoughts of the age, and Marlowe is no exception. How did Marlowe help shape Elizabethan myth through his imaginative use of myth in his dramas? How did he use Renaissance myths as the bases for his tragic conflicts? Two points of view are considered in this examination of myth in Marlowe's dramas: (1) the nature or the myth; (2) the structural importance of the myth

King Arthur And The Alliterative Tradition, Lena Exum Mar 1958

King Arthur And The Alliterative Tradition, Lena Exum

English Language and Literature ETDs

Comparison of the Alliterative Arthurian romances reveals not only resemblances to other Middle English romances but also a puzzling uniqueness which sets alliterative verse apart from other poetry of the period. Alliterative romance is patriotic and pious. Although influenced by French romance, it clings to the original English heroes and to deeds pertaining to them or to deeds of the Romans; and it shuns French verse forms to use an alliterative line which has already degenerated and become obsolete. As Dorothy Everett points out, "the [alliterative] poets seem, in general, to have avoided love-romances and to have preferred historical, or …


Assifidity Days And Other Poems, Robert E. Rhodes Feb 1958

Assifidity Days And Other Poems, Robert E. Rhodes

English Language and Literature ETDs

I now believe at this end of this writing that there are three stages through which the poet and his poetry move in the accomplishment of any poem; stages in relation to this poet only, in development of these poems. Since we can agree that poetry is a highly personal statement (a dangerous thing in itself today), it is with poetry as personal statement that I would like to begin.

The “Demonic” In Ibsen’S The Wild Duck, Louis Crompton Jan 1958

The “Demonic” In Ibsen’S The Wild Duck, Louis Crompton

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Ibsen's The Wild Duck has been universally recognized as a masterpiece of modern dramatic art. Two generations of critics, starting with George Brandes and George Bernard Shaw, have admired its powerful ironies and brilliant dramaturgy. Finally, it has been made the subject of a detailed and extremely perceptive analysis by Hermann Weigand, Ibsen's leading twentieth-century exponent, in his study The Modern Ibsen. All have seen it as a curious drama of mixed genre in which elements of satire, comedy, and tragedy exist together in a state of high tension. Beyond this, the critics have gone on to explore some particular …


Satire And Symbolism In Bleak House, Louis Crompton Jan 1958

Satire And Symbolism In Bleak House, Louis Crompton

Department of English: Faculty Publications

In Dicken’s Bleak House the nineteenth-century social order is portrayed with a power and vividness elsewhere unmatched in English fiction. Decaying slums with their filthy tenants, a sedately proud but hopelessly outmoded aristocracy, lawyers and clients lost in a fog of legal obfuscation, a confused and silly parliament engaged in a perpetual game of musical chairs; the magnitude of these symptoms of social distress is impressive, and equaled only by the completeness of the failure of those in power to deal with them. Whatever the dramatic weaknesses and confusions of the book, this satirical image of society is communicated to …

1. Introduction, Robert L. Bloom, Basil L. Crapster, Harold A. Dunkelberger, Charles H. Glatfelter, Richard T. Mara, Norman E. Richardson, W. Richard Schubart

Section XII: The Post-Enlightenment Period

Criticism of the methods and conclusions of the Enlightenment was initiated almost as soon as the movement itself had begun. It is for this reason that this chapter follows immediately after the one on the Enlightenment, rather than after the later chapters on nationalism, liberalism, industrialism, evolutionary biology, and the social sciences. These movements made their appearance during the latter part of the eighteenth century, but often served only to broaden and strengthen the earlier criticisms of the Enlightenment and the demands for a more adequate way of thinking than it offered. The movements of thought with which we are …

6. Schiller And Romanticism, Robert L. Bloom, Basil L. Crapster, Harold A. Dunkelberger, Charles C. Glatfelter, Richard T. Mara, Norman E. Richardson, W. Richard Schubart

Section XII: The Post-Enlightenment Period

To define romanticism is to attempt something which the romantics themselves insist cannot be done. But we can try to identify and then describe it, first pointing out what it is not. One stable element in romanticism has been its consistent rejection of its opposite, classicism. While no great piece of art has ever existed which did not contain elements of both romanticism and classicism, the partisans of these two different points of view have insisted that different emphases made it great. Where classicism emphasised analysis, objectivity harmony, wholeness, meaning, and discipline, romanticism stressed synthesis,subjectivity,disharmony, individuality,suggestiveness. and spontaneity.

Dark Charades, Lloyd L. Alpaugh Jan 1958

Dark Charades, Lloyd L. Alpaugh

English Language and Literature ETDs

It is my belief that every creative act must stand or fall on its intrinsic merits without recourse to props or other would-be aids that anyone of authority or otherwise, might attempt to supply. After the fact of creation the only legitimate manner by which the author may attempt to strengthen his work is by revision. He may, if he so desires, use footnotes or appendices or introductions to explain what he is attempting to do or say in his work. He has no right to attempt to force the reader to accept or agree with what the author hopes …

3. Edmund Burke And Conservatism, Robert L. Bloom, Basil L. Crapster, Harold A. Dunkelberger, Charles H. Glatfelter, Richard T. Mara, Norman E. Richardson, W. Richard Schubart

Section XII: The Post-Enlightenment Period

Edmund Buxke (1729-1797) has often been compared to John Wesley, and there are several bases for such a comparison. Both infused a new life and meaning into the coin temporary formal structure of politics and religion, respectively. Both helped to bring the spoken word to a new level of influence. Both significantly changed the style of speaking and writing, emphasizing the particular and immediate problems rather than abstract and general principles. And both gave a strong moral emphasis to their thoughts and actions. Burke's style has long been considered one of the outstanding models for English prose and oratory. [ …


A History Of Morocco In Anglo-American Literature 1892-1957, Robert G. Wagner Jan 1958

A History Of Morocco In Anglo-American Literature 1892-1957, Robert G. Wagner

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Although several studies exist in French on the French and English literature of Morocco up to the twentieth century, nothing of a similar nature is extant for books on the country in English. Moreover, no previous study included twentieth century English and American books. A survey of the serious works on Morocco reveals that that country has been generally neglected by American and English scholars as an area for Investigation.

Revolt And Tradition In The Thought Of Emily Dickinson, Peter Randall Runkel Jan 1958

Revolt And Tradition In The Thought Of Emily Dickinson, Peter Randall Runkel

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to show two major influences in the thought of Emily Dickinson which contributed greatly to two antithetic doctrines which commanded her loyalty. One of these two was a reverence which she felt for the Puritan concepts of life; the other was a revolutionary trait that would not adhere to Puritan doctrine. The first doctrine was a natural one to be adopted by the poet. The Puritan way of life was the only "style of life" which she know and so, quite naturally, this kind of milieu satisfied her in many ways. But as she …
