Enigmatic, Tragic, Crip; Or, Crip Time In Sophocles’S Oedipus And Aristotle’S Poetics, Maxwell Gray
Enigmatic, Tragic, Crip; Or, Crip Time In Sophocles’S Oedipus And Aristotle’S Poetics, Maxwell Gray
Journal of Gender, Ethnic, and Cross-Cultural Studies
Tragedy represents a classical literary genre the field of disability studies often prefers not to approach too closely, lest disability also be called a tragedy by association. At the same time, my thinking is organized around my personal experience of chronic illness, pain, and disability that appear in early adulthood, when it’s maybe least expected and most difficult to comprehend; or, in a word, tragic. I turn to the literary genre of classical Greek tragedy to think about/with more enigmatic and tragic forms of disability and crip temporality. In particular, I read Sophocles’s classic tragedy Oedipus and Aristotle’s foundational interpretation …
The Relation Of Horace To Augustus, Harry Stanley Perla
The Relation Of Horace To Augustus, Harry Stanley Perla
Bachelors’ Theses
The topic of this thesis was selected after reading various criticisms of Augustus as written by authors of the last decade. Though not treated as comprehensively as other phases of Horace's life, this topic nevertheless is another method of studying and criticizing Horace. The relation of Horace to Augustus is illustrated in the very writings of Horace and therefore the topic has a close connection with the writings of the poet. Because of this connection, and because of its interest, this topic was chosen.
Comparison Of Virgil's And Dante's Inferno, Marjorie B. Roedel
Comparison Of Virgil's And Dante's Inferno, Marjorie B. Roedel
Bachelors’ Theses
This thesis fs devoted · entirely to a comparison of the Aeneid VI of Virgil and the Inferno of Dante. Many authors have stated points of similarity, but much research has failed to uncover any published work which makes such a comparison the whole subject of discussion. The quotations, cited in this thesis, are taken from the Aeneid, both Latin and English versions, from a translation of the Inferno, and from the works listed in the bibliography. Many books supplied helps and hints; but special indebtedness must be acknowledged to the World Review of October 4, 1926, which suggested the …
The Aeneid A National Epic, Gretchen Mary Schmidt
The Aeneid A National Epic, Gretchen Mary Schmidt
Bachelors’ Theses
The epic has always held a foremost place in the literature of the worlds It does, indeed, date hack to the early days of Greece when Homer wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey. Thereafter, from century to century, a writer of some country would produce such a poem as the people would not willingly let die, and as a result, they would accept it as a representative poem of that country. And so it is today, that the epic of Spain is The Cid; of France, Chanson de Roland; of Germany, The Nibelungen- 1ied; of England, Paradise Lost. And so …
Some Social Forces In The Drama Of John Galsworthy, Richard Paul Loftus
Some Social Forces In The Drama Of John Galsworthy, Richard Paul Loftus
Bachelors’ Theses
It is the singular custom of that modern playwright to feel most keenly the social problems of the society in which he lives. Truly the drama is a representation of life, but as we have come to know the great models that have survived the criticism of years, we notice that it has dealt most primarily with a representation of character that is a universal and living representation of life rather than with the problems of the political and social scientist. Yet we are aware that the stage of the present day is not that of a Sophocles or a …
Divine Justice In Aeschylean Tragedy, Anton C. Pegis
Divine Justice In Aeschylean Tragedy, Anton C. Pegis
Bachelors’ Theses
Briefly, then, I intend to give an exposition of the seven extant plays from the point of view of the conflict between divine justice and moral freedom, with an attempt of reconstructing, in the light of criticism, the Aeschylean solution to the problems involved in the investigation. Maurice Croiset has said of Aeschylus that his dramas were revelations on the stage of the divine will; the Aeschylean meditative genius searched for causes, and thus each trilogy " divine l'expose dramatique d'une grande destinee, et, ainsi concue, elle eveilla desormais autant de peosee que d'emotion."
Catullus And The Alexandrian Movement In Latin Verse, Dalton Victor Rourk
Catullus And The Alexandrian Movement In Latin Verse, Dalton Victor Rourk
Bachelors’ Theses
Catullus has been called- the most enigmatical of the great poets, and the reason is evident at once upon any attempt to arrive at definite information concerning his life. (1) According to Jerome (2), he was born in 87 B.C. and died in 57 B.C. Since Ovid says (3) "Juvenilia cinctus- tempora....docte Catulle,'' and from other sources it is known that he died young, Jerome (or rather Suetonius), is at least consistent. Opposed to this date for his death is his reference (4) to the consulship of Vatinius, who did not become consul until the end of 47 B.C. But …
