Community, History, And Individual Wholeness In The Novels Of Toni Morrison: Recasting The Myth Of Self, Richard L. Campbell
Community, History, And Individual Wholeness In The Novels Of Toni Morrison: Recasting The Myth Of Self, Richard L. Campbell
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The wholeness of the fictional characters of Toni Morrison is linked with their relationship to historical and communal values. Those characters who move toward a feeling of authenticity or psychological completeness are those who realize the value of the past to their present existence and the importance of significant relationships with those around them. Characters who are distanced from these values, however, are unable to realize a sense of wholeness. Though no character in The Bluest Eye achieves authenticity, the novel does suggest the values which its characters lack, and which might have allowed them to experience growth. Sula, on …

"Ego, Scriptor Cantilenae": The Cantos And Ezra Pound, Steven R. Gulick
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
Can poetry "make new" the world? Ezra Pound thought so. In "Cantico del Sole" he said: "The thought of what America would be like/ If the Classics had a wide circulation/ Troubles me in my sleep" (Personae 183). He came to write an 815 page poem called The Cantos in which he presents "fragments" drawn from the literature and documents of the past in an attempt to build a new world, "a paradiso terreste" (The Cantos 802). This may be seen as either a noble gesture or sheer egotism.
Pound once called The Cantos the "tale of the …
Resolving The Paradox: Thomas Merton, Antipoetry, And The Language Of Silence In The Geography Of Lograire, Barbara J. Hemann
Resolving The Paradox: Thomas Merton, Antipoetry, And The Language Of Silence In The Geography Of Lograire, Barbara J. Hemann
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The paradox in Thomas Merton's life, that of being both poet and priest, has often been studied. Merton himself was torn by this paradox, the need to keep his vow of silence and the need to express himself through language. It is this paradox, the paradox of language and silence and how Merton resolves it in antipoetry, that is examined in this study. Antipoetry provides an answer to many paradoxes Merton finds in his life. Merton, in his autobiography The Seven Storey Mountain, first believed that one must reject the world to embrace God, but later in his life recants …

Six of the hypotheses were accepted; seven were rejected. The researcher concluded that young adult fiction was realistically portraying the status of single-adoptive units, the single parent's financial stress and problems in household management, as well as the adolescent's …
