The Action Of Grace In Territory Held By The Devil: Flannery O’Connor And Cormac Mccarthy, Scott A. Singleton
The Action Of Grace In Territory Held By The Devil: Flannery O’Connor And Cormac Mccarthy, Scott A. Singleton
The Kennesaw Journal of Undergraduate Research
This paper compares the lives and work of Flannery O’Connor and Cormac McCarthy. The two authors share similarities in their backgrounds, careers, and work. The paper begins with an examination of biographical information of both authors to contextualize their work and note commonalities in their lives and careers. The central idea is that Flannery O’Connor and Cormac McCarthy both create grotesque characters to reveal the depraved condition of humanity in order to highlight the need for redemption and the possibility of divine grace. To prove this, examples are discussed from multiple pieces of work by O’Connor and McCarthy including The …
"Robert Frost Blues”, Gregory Arthur Weiss
"Robert Frost Blues”, Gregory Arthur Weiss
Dissertations
Robert Frost Blues collectively argues, stylistically and thematically, that apprehending the world is difficult. If one is able to know the world to some degree, the efficacy of that knowledge will be significantly affected by whether other people agree that that apprehension of the world is correct. But beyond that, Robert Frost Blues, with its casual sestinas and villanelles, colloquial language, found language, prose poems, dialogues, and iambic narratives, implicitly argues that the most important aspect of knowing the world is not the form that knowledge fits into or the literary devices it employs. Instead apprehending the world requires both …

Woman Or Warrior? How Believable Femininity Shapes Warrior Women, Jessica D. Mccall
Woman Or Warrior? How Believable Femininity Shapes Warrior Women, Jessica D. Mccall
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
My dissertation is an exploration of how femininity is constructed in the characters of warrior women. I define and apply my theory of believable femininity: the notion that in order for characters gendered female to be accepted by an audience, specific textual markers must render them submissive to a dominating male figure. I examine the following warrior women at length: Britomart and Radigund from Spenser's The Faerie Queene; Christine de Pizan's treatment of Amazons in her Book of the City of Ladies and Hippolyta's specific portrayal by de Pizan in comparison to Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, and the …

The Mother Tongues Of Modernity: Modernism, Transnationalism, Translation, Roland K. Végső
The Mother Tongues Of Modernity: Modernism, Transnationalism, Translation, Roland K. Végső
Department of English: Faculty Publications
The relation of modernism to immigrant literatures should not be conceived in terms of an opposition between universalistic and particularistic discourses. Rather, we should explore what can be called a modernist transnationalism based on a general universalist argument. Two examples of this transnationalism are explored side by side: Ezra Pound’s and Anzia Yezierska’s definitions of the aesthetic act in terms of translation. The readings show that the critical discourses of these two authors are structured by a belief in universalism while showing opposite possibilities, both generated by modernist transnationalism. The essay concludes that we now need to interpret the cultures …

"Divine William" And The Master: The Influence Of Shakespeare On The Novels Of Henry James, Amy M. Green
"Divine William" And The Master: The Influence Of Shakespeare On The Novels Of Henry James, Amy M. Green
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Henry James's most sustained commentary on Shakespeare comes in the form of an introduction to an edition of The Tempest that was published in 1907. In it, he remarks that the play is a reflection of Shakespeare "consciously tasting of the first and rarest of his gifts, that of imaged creative Expression...to show him as unresistingly aware" (1207). This praise ties unerringly back to James's praise of the artist as one who views the world through open eyes and can capture the nuance of experience. James himself worked at the craft of fiction, and writes extensively in his notebooks and …

"Motionless As An Idol": The Roles Of Art, Modernism, And Religion In William Faulkner's Construction Of Gender, Chelsea Bullock
"Motionless As An Idol": The Roles Of Art, Modernism, And Religion In William Faulkner's Construction Of Gender, Chelsea Bullock
Theses and Dissertations
William Faulkner's body of work addresses many specific issues and conditions specific to the South, but this project focuses on the place of Southern women in society and Faulkner's exploration of their subjugation through the language and images of art. I will analyze three of his texts: "A Rose for Emily," As I Lay Dying, and The Sound and the Fury with a particular focus on the main female characters and the art metaphors they are presented in association with and. often, as encapsulated within. I chose these three texts because they are best representative of my argument. In the …
