Sara Teasdale: Her Life And Work, Virginia Mcknight

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study of Sara Teasdale was made not only in an attempt to learn more about her as a woman and as a poet but try to relate the two, to explain why she wrote the type of poetry which she did, why some of her poems express such a joyous love of life and others such as disillusionment. The latter expression is more understandable when the facts of her life are known. The studies of her imagery and stanzaic forms aid in forming an opinion of her ability as a poet and also tend to characterize her as a …

French Origins Of American Imagist Poetry, Beatrice Hope Zedler

Bachelors’ Theses

Every reader, I am sure, has at one time or another chanced upon a passage which instantly struck his attention by its resemblance to something else which he had read. He may have dismissed this occurrence as a merely accidental similarity, or he may have questioned whether one work had influenced the other. The latter has been my experience. In reading the poetry of Theophile Gautier, I was startled by its similarity to some of the poetry of Amy Lowell and by its adherence to two of the principles of Imagism, as set forth by Miss Lowell in the preface …

Alan Seeger & Joyce Kilmer, American World War Poets, Mary Gardner

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

American war poetry did swell to greater volume, but much has been written already about this poetry and much more will be written before it has passed the test of time and found its proper rank in the literature of the ages. Numerous collections and classifications have been made, but, strange to say, very little attention has been paid to the poets themselves. We have brief sketches or scattered magazine articles on the lives of some of the war poets, but it seems that the most interesting phase of work has been neglected, that of making a detailed study of …

Some Aspects Of The Intellectual Poise Of George Robert Gissing, Glenn Orville Kelley

Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Thls study, Some Aspects of the Intellectual Poise of George Robert Gising, had its inception in a course in The Novel, an Intepretation of Life, offered by Doctor Frederick A. Stuff in the summer session of the University of Nebraska in 1926. More narrowly, it began with that part of the course treating of the mode in literature known as realism. In one reference, Wilson Follett's The Modern Novel, was found the following statement relative to the novels of George Gissing, an author of whom the writer of this thesis had not previously heard.
