Imagining Machines: Time & Image In The Shorter Poems Of William Carlos Williams, Stuart Campbell
Imagining Machines: Time & Image In The Shorter Poems Of William Carlos Williams, Stuart Campbell
Theses : Honours
A discussion of time and image in the shorter poems of William Carlos Williams. The particular focus is Williams' short poems published between the Great War and World War II. The relationship between the form of the poems, and Williams' theories on poetry, as expressed in Spring and All, and The Wedge is examined. In turn, Williams' theories are viewed in the context of Imagism, Objectivist poetics, and the modernist machine aesthetic. Williams' application of these theories is seen to create a poetic form that generates images in the reader's imagination in synchrony with the moment.

"That Damned Morality": Willa Cather's Reaction Against Victorian Female Roles In O Pioneers! And Tje Song Of The Lark, Sarah Elizabeth Moore Horne
"That Damned Morality": Willa Cather's Reaction Against Victorian Female Roles In O Pioneers! And Tje Song Of The Lark, Sarah Elizabeth Moore Horne
Theses & Honors Papers
Reacting against Victorian ideal that influenced her childhood, Cather creates numerous gender reversal throughout her fiction. This thesis notes the gender ironies contained within her works to conclude that Cather was herself a liberal, demanding that society’s status quo be eliminated. While America’s political climate did affect Cather’s work, her political ideologies remain difficult to interpret when contrasted with her fiction. Throughout much of her fiction, Cather attempts to raise the social status of certain facets of society and dispels many myths concerning gender.

Cather's New World Cultural Exploitation Vs. Cultural Cohesion In Sapphira And The Slave Girl, The Professor's House And Shadows On The Rock, Alexandra Meighan
Cather's New World Cultural Exploitation Vs. Cultural Cohesion In Sapphira And The Slave Girl, The Professor's House And Shadows On The Rock, Alexandra Meighan
Theses & Honors Papers
Three of Cather’s works, Sapphira and the Slave Girl, The professor’s House, and Shadows on the Rock distinguish two civilizations in North America. This thesis examines the mental and physical abuses of African American slavery imposed on its victims in Sapphira and the Slave Girl. In The Professor’s House, the abuse and neglect with which America has treated Native Americans is revealed. Shadows on the Rock demonstrates the cultural superiority and cohesiveness of the French settlement described. In the works, Cather creates powerful contrasts between the American and Canadian societies within the New World. Her comparisons suggest that …
"Painted Fire": Fire Imagery In Life On The Mississippi And A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, Deborah T. Ketchum
"Painted Fire": Fire Imagery In Life On The Mississippi And A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, Deborah T. Ketchum
Theses & Honors Papers
Fire imagery appears throughout Twain’s literature, becoming stronger as he matures. Twain’s novel reveals the trauma and guilt felt. Life on the Mississippi shows how the author turned a traumatic memory into various literary devices. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court uses a traumatic memory to develop complex imagery and symbolism. Both books demonstrate the complex writing skills of Mark Twain as he develops dire into a dual creation that represents both positive and negative events, sometimes simultaneously. Fire becomes and interesting element that provides laughter even as causes tears, that cleanses and creates even as it destroys, and …
Revolutionary Trickster Communities: Re-Presenting Folk Heroes In Contemporary African American Novels, Susan C. Stinson
Revolutionary Trickster Communities: Re-Presenting Folk Heroes In Contemporary African American Novels, Susan C. Stinson
Theses & Honors Papers
In this thesis, the three novelists, as tricksters, manipulate one’s reading process by overlapping the visible with the invisible world. This thesis explores the tricksters communities and will focus on the novelists as trickster. Sherley Anne Williams, Ernest Gaines, and Gloria Naylor parody the rebel or loner trickster tradition in literature and conceptualize a world in which African Americans, white Americans, and Native Americans work communally to deconstruct the stereotypes associated with race, age, and gender. The authors use parody as a humorous narrative technique. The humor enables the modern reader to look into the past at the wrongs imposed …

Giving Her A Voice: The Representation Of The Black Woman In Four Short Stories, Jennifer Sheeler
Giving Her A Voice: The Representation Of The Black Woman In Four Short Stories, Jennifer Sheeler
Theses & Honors Papers
Black women have had to work very hard to pull themselves up the social ladder. Literature reflects society, and the black female experience in the South is a part of American society which has not been overlooked by its literature. This thesis examines short stories by the similarities and tempered differences to develop a closer understanding of the true black female experience. The examination found that the gender and race of each author of the four short stories does not correspond to the amount of power each one gives to his or her black female character the way the reader …
Perspectives On History: New Orleans's Women In William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! And Anne Rice's The Feast Of All Saints, Stacey Morgan Ford
Perspectives On History: New Orleans's Women In William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! And Anne Rice's The Feast Of All Saints, Stacey Morgan Ford
Theses & Honors Papers
The thesis examines the perspectives on history in New Orleans ' women in William Faulkner 's Absalom, Absalom and Anne Rice's The Feast of All Saints. This thesis looks at historical sources, the most detailed and unbiased of which have been written within the last twenty-five years. The information is then applied to the works of Faulkner and Rice. The thesis concludes that both of the writes provide portrayals which serve their own purposes. Faulkner’s image of the world is vivid, but, it is still only an image, a picture. Faulkner’s purposes serve only as the symbol of slavery at …
