The Popularity And Influence Of Shakespeare's English And Roman Historical Plays In America From The Beginnings To 1950, Ruth Warren Jan 1955

The Popularity And Influence Of Shakespeare's English And Roman Historical Plays In America From The Beginnings To 1950, Ruth Warren

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Poetry and romance in Shakespeare's non-historical plays have come into their own again with revivals of The Tempest directed by Margaret Webster and with the production of As You Like It, which features Katherine Hepburn. Unfortunately, the time limit of this paper has been set for the end of 1950, so it is only possible to mentin in passing Laurence Oliver's and Vivian Leigh's exciting and unique idea of presenting Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra and Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra on alternate nights. In spite of early curtains, which make it necessary for the theatre-goer to eat his dinner in a …

Emily Dickinson's Approach To Poetry, Donald E. Thackrey Oct 1954

Emily Dickinson's Approach To Poetry, Donald E. Thackrey

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

One of the most fascinating aspects of any poet is his conception of his art. Many poets have written extensively on the theory of art around which they orient their poetry. Others have clearly revealed their theories by writing criticism of other authors. Emily Dickinson, however, left no critical essays, no elucidation of her artistic principles. It is quite probable, indeed, that she did not consciously concern herself to any extent with poetic theory. She may have written, and written in her unique way, through an instinctive need which would admit of no plodding deliberation or stylistic experimentation. Still, such …

Graham Greene: A Study Of Absolute And Relative Concepts Of Morality, Ruth E. Galen Aug 1954

Graham Greene: A Study Of Absolute And Relative Concepts Of Morality, Ruth E. Galen

English Language and Literature ETDs

Graham Greene did not receive serious critical attention as a novelist until the publication of Brighton Rock in 1938. Even then, because he chose to subtitle it an "entertainment" many critics refused to consider it a serious novel at all, although it treats of evil working through a boy. Anyone who reads Brighton Rock immediately after "entertainments" such as A Gun for Sale or The Ministry of Fear cannot help noticing a deepening awareness of values in the author.


A Study Of Tennyson's Historical Trilogy, Robert Caudius Markham Jul 1954

A Study Of Tennyson's Historical Trilogy, Robert Caudius Markham

Master's Theses

Although Alfred Tennyson ls not one of the great dramatists of English Literature. I feel that a study of his historic trilogy is worthwhile and beneficial. Probably we shall never understand completely the mystery of his turning to the form of the drama at the age of sixty-five. We can, however, recognize his growth and development in this field of literature and perceive hie political fervor and religious opinion from the trilogy.

The purpose of this work is to present a study of Tennyson's trilogy demonstrating the degree of dramatic development he achieved.


A Study Of Chaucer's Influence On English Literature Through Dryden, Elder Blair Apperson Jul 1954

A Study Of Chaucer's Influence On English Literature Through Dryden, Elder Blair Apperson

Master's Theses

Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the greatest poets of our English literature. If Shakespeare stands apart as our greatest, then it is John Milton who must dispute with Chaucer the honor of second place. Milton undoubtedly surpasses Chaucer in the grandeur of his imagination and the sublimity or his poetic style; but "he cannot equal him in the range and variety of his art." On one hand we have Chaucer, the grave and serious poet.always keenly conscious that "our human life is a shifting quicksand of mutability, that lasting happiness can never be our earthly portion;" whereas we have but …

The Man Of Glass: A Three Act Comedy In Verse, Thomas V. Calkins Jun 1954

The Man Of Glass: A Three Act Comedy In Verse, Thomas V. Calkins

English Language and Literature ETDs

The author wishes to acknowledge his debt to Cervantes. The original inspiration for "The Man of Glass" came from "El Licenciado Vidriera", one of Cervantes' "Novelas Ejemplares". Though not following the great Spanish writer's plot exactly, the author has tried to approach his spirit and theme. If a great deal of "El Licenciado Vidriera" has been lost, the author hopes that some little something has been added.

The purpose of this study will be to find out as much as possible about Shelley's use in poetry of color and consequently, light. Since there are few previous studies of this problem to be drawn upon, this project will not be narrowed down to a specific phase of the subject, but will cover as many aspects of Shelley's use of color as possible.
