A Comparison Of The Uses Of Astrology In The Works Of John Gower And Geoffrey Chaucer, George Rufus Wyatt Jr. Aug 1952

A Comparison Of The Uses Of Astrology In The Works Of John Gower And Geoffrey Chaucer, George Rufus Wyatt Jr.

Master's Theses

The literary interest in astrology which had been gradually increasing during the fourteenth century in England, culminated in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower. It is not surprising that these two poets have used astrology very extensively in writing stories for their medieval audiences since the average man in the Middles Ages believed that life depended upon the influences of the seven planets in their positions in the zodiac. It is the purpose of this thesis to present a comparison of the uses of the astrological material in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower. In this …


A Survey Of The Critical Opinion Concerning The Effect Of Edgar Allan Poe's Life Upon His Literary Work, Alice Mary Griffith Jul 1952

A Survey Of The Critical Opinion Concerning The Effect Of Edgar Allan Poe's Life Upon His Literary Work, Alice Mary Griffith

Master's Theses

In this thesis I hope to present a picture of the effect the life of Edgar Allan Poe had upon his writing. Poe was and still is a controversial figure. Many of his biographers and critics agree that the illnesses and deaths of those dearest to him and the constant pressure of outer tragic circumstances played a great part in what he put down upon paper. Others feel his drinking and dope-taking colored his outpourings. There is much emphasis placed upon his childhood days in England. Some attention is paid to his life in Richmond as a boy. There are …


Art And Religion In Milton's Critical Theory, Otto Leonhart Brenner Jul 1952

Art And Religion In Milton's Critical Theory, Otto Leonhart Brenner

Master's Theses

Unquestionably, behind Milton's writings stands his critical theory. Without it he could never have been great. His ability to select what was basic in the production of art was a prime factor in giving him the remarkable proficiency and power he displays in handling poetic forms in such a way that they ideally represent the thought and emotions experienced in nature.


A Treatment Of Plant Life In Eighteenth-Century Poetry, William Melvin Maxey Apr 1952

A Treatment Of Plant Life In Eighteenth-Century Poetry, William Melvin Maxey

Master's Theses

A critic of English literature, writing about nature in poetry, has said that the subject-matter ot poetry may be divided into three main groups: man, God, and nature. This paper is primarily concerned with the last division, and more especially with a treatment of plant life in eighteenth-century poetry. Such a treatment must of necessity require wide reading and careful selection of the material to be covered, since the chief aim of the writer is to present the subject in such a manner that it is representative of the whole period of English poetry from 1700 to 1800.


Ernest Hemingway, A Writer Of Episodes, Robert Alexander Chermside Jr. Apr 1952

Ernest Hemingway, A Writer Of Episodes, Robert Alexander Chermside Jr.

Master's Theses

In this thesis my purpose is to analyze and review some of Hemingway's episodes and short scenes, which I believe to be his most valuable work, in order that their value may become evident. I then intend to show that the author's novels are in most cases dependent on these episodes for their literary success. In accomplishing this, it would be useless to consider everything Hemingway has written. I shall deal only with his fiction and shall confine myself to selections which most amply illustrate my point.

An Introduction To The Poetry Of T.S. Eliot : A Selective Handbook, Jean Katherine Collins Jul 1951

An Introduction To The Poetry Of T.S. Eliot : A Selective Handbook, Jean Katherine Collins

Master's Theses

T. S. Eliot, one of the most discussed poets of our time, has registered a deep and sincere concern for the plight of modern society. That concern is mirrored in his poetry where he has spoken his message to those who will hear it. He seems to have put a supersensitive finger on the pulse of the world's ills, and has suggested what he believes to be the only solution.


Ellen Glasgow's Virginia : The Background Of Her Novels, Ruth Jones Wilkins Jan 1951

Ellen Glasgow's Virginia : The Background Of Her Novels, Ruth Jones Wilkins

Master's Theses

Ellen Glasgow's native state, the Commonwealth of Virginia, was a constituent portion of her. "I am Virginian in every drop of my blood and pulse of my heart...," she said. With her Virginia she wove a rich background for her novels. At times the cloth was homespun like the background of the Burrs in THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE; at other times it was of a finer texture as in VIRGINIA; yet again it was a rich tapestry for people like the Archibalds in THE SHELTERED LIFE.

Ellen Glasgow has contributed to world literature, in polished, exquisite form, an unbiased …
