Paper Abstract:
Analysis of two poems on the subject of sex. John Donne's "THE FLEA," and Andrew Marvell's "TO HIS COY MISTRESS." Donne's use of religious imagery and circular argument. Marvell's use of land as a metaphor, and exaggerated imagery. Common subject of male character seeking sexual union with a specific female.

Paper Introduction:
The subject of John Donne’s ‘The Flea’ and Andrew Marvell’s ‘To His Coy Mistress’ is the pursuit of elusive sexual congress between consenting adults. In each particular poem, the main character, utilizing the voice of the male gender, seeks union for a night of uncontrollable passion with a specific female object of affection. Donne uses religious imagery within his poem, while Marvell uses the metaphor of land. In Marvell’s poem, he likens the lady of his pursuit to the exotic and conquered land of India while the main male character is likened to the less enchanting hills of England near the Humber River. In Donne’s poem, his religious imagery may be seen in his use of phrases. ‘Confesse it’, ‘one blood made of two’ (which is also an implication of sex and/or pregnancy because the mother and child are ‘two’, the ‘three lives in one flea’ that is repre

Paper Abstract:
Examines William Langland's 14th Century narrative poem. Social satirical aspects. Critique of society. Motif of the quality of life and faith. Themes of social injustice and spiritual salvation. The historical context and literary history. Ideas and narrative devices of the poem. Medieval influences on the author. Intellectual climate of the Middle Ages.

Paper Introduction:
This research examines William Langland's 14th-century extended narrative poem The Vision of William Concerning Piers the Plowman (aka Piers Plowman) as a poetic exercise in social satire. The plan of the research will be to set forth the historical context and literary history surrounding the production of Piers Plowman and then to discuss the pattern of ideas and narrative devices in the text that tend to support the view that it is structured in a way meant to comment on society and the social behavior familiar and important to Langland, namely, a society in which the most important feature of the quality of life was the quality of faith, or the individual's experience of God. In his anthology of philosophical and theological writings of the 12th to 14th centuries Marenbon says that the study of medie

Paper Abstract:
Discusses the life and career of the Welsh poet. His death at the prime of his professional and personal life. His self-destructive behavior including alcohol abuse. His poetic gifts and professional success. His innovative poetic voice. Growing reputation as a poet and lecturer. Move to London's literary world. Death at age 39.

Paper Introduction:
This research examines the life and work of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (1914-1953). The research will set forth the historical and cultural context in which Thomas's poetic voice emerged and then discuss ways in which Thomas's patterns of behavior in his private life influenced and to some extent retarded the course of his richly promising professional work. To discuss the life and career of Thomas is almost inevitably to include the observation that he died in what might have been the prime of his professional and personal life. Dylan Thomas's poetic gifts flourished despite a persistent pattern of self-destructive behavior that did the opposite of cherish and nurture them. The result was that his inability to break the destructive cycles in his life truncated what many critics take to be a rich and innovative literary voice.

Paper Abstract:
Compares different ideas of a poet's function in the poems of John Keats and Matthew Arnold. Their concepts of the art of poetry and ideas of the poet's role in society. Keats' idealism and disinterest in political thought. Arnold's emphasis that poetry should discuss the moral needs and failures of society.

Paper Introduction:
Poets' conceptions of their roles in society can be fairly consistent for long periods of time or may change rapidly in a decade or two. The difference between the idea of a poet's function as conceived by the Romantic era and the Victorian period provides an example of significant change. Not all the supposed members of any school of poetry, of course, share every aspect of the predominant theory of poetry in their generation. Neither John Keats (1795-1821) nor Matthew Arnold (1822-88) is entirely typical of his era. But, especially because Arnold reacted against Keats--among others--in specific, articulated ways, a comparison of their ideas of their role as poets will demonstrate how such changes take place and the effect they have on the poetry that is written. A brief discussion of the two poets' ideas about the art of

Paper Abstract:
Analysis of the poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night." Thomas' thesis that death should not just be accepted; people should rage against death rather than simply accepting it as natural as the primary message of the poem. The poem written about Thomas' father as an affirmation of life and light.

Paper Introduction:
Poetry Analysis: Dylan Thomas on Death The central theme in Dylan Thomas’ poem, “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,” is that all people should rage against death rather than simply accept it as natural. Thomas addresses his poem to a general audience of wise, good, wild, and grave men who are facing death. While the poem is meant for all people who must die, it is particularly aimed at the poet’s own father. The thesis to be discussed in this essay is that Dylan Thomas wanted his reader to understand that death should not just be accepted. There are two lines in the poem that are repeated several times. The first line is “do not go gentle into that good night" (Thomas, p. 128). This line introduces the first stanza of the poem and completes the second and fourth stanzas of the

Paper Abstract:
His poetry and literary criticism. Coleridge's craftsmanship and definitions of poems and poetry. Analyzes "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Christabel." Suppression of power of human reason in both poems. Poetic ambiguity in "Mariner" and "Christabel." Unclear motivation for death of the albatross. Dark atmosphere in "Mariner." Gothic imagery in "Christabel." Ambiguous relationship of Christabel and Geraldine.

Paper Introduction:
A cursory glance through Coleridge's literary and dramatic criticism vividly illustrates that he valorizes the imaginative aesthetic faculty, much preferring it to constructing drama and poetry according to literary convention, still less rules of literary composition. But that does not mean that Coleridge denigrates the necessity of craft. Indeed, "Christabel" and Rime of the Ancient Mariner owe much to Coleridge's commitment to the careful craftsmanship that results in obviously artificial evocation. Moreover, Coleridge's literary criticism is also at pains to distinguish between the terms poem and poetry, the former referring to any of a variety of versification conventions and the latter to a much more complex process of composition and versification whereby aesthetic pleasure may be derived:

Approaches to women by the two poets. Discusses Chaucer's view of women exemplified by "The Wife of Bath" in the CANTERBURY TALES, and Alexander Pope's THE RAPE OF THE LOCK. Pope's satirical view of aristocratic women. Difference in sexual aspects of both poems.

Paper Introduction:
CHAUCER AND POPE: TWO LOOKS AT THE NATURE OF WOMEN There was no feminism in the middle ages nor in the time of Geoffrey Chaucer or, centuries later, Alexander Pope. The big difference in the approaches to women by these two authors was that Chaucer’s Wife of Bath was, more or less, Everywoman. While Pope, however, sneered at the upper classes, in his time it was rude to laugh at the foibles of women. So, he ridiculed what turned out to be a family feud in reality, when a suitor snipped a lock from the hair of his beloved. Say what strange Motive, Goddess! cou'd compel A well-bred Lord t'assault a gentle Belle? Oh say what stranger Cause, yet unexplor'd, Cou'd make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?

Paper Abstract:
Discuses Pope's image of the universe. Theme of ambivalent position of man in attempting to play God. Satirical depiction of man as a "mock hero." Pope's purpose in the poem as desiring mankind to conform to the universal scheme. Poetic techniques employed including tone, structure, use of antithesis, imagery, paradox.

Paper Introduction:
In the first epistle of An Essay on Man, Alexander Pope presents a secularized and objective perspective of humanity and nature, which is freed from the bias of specific religions or supernatural beliefs (Kallich 3; Mack 525). According to Pope’s image of the universe, God has created a harmonious world consisting of different components, of which man is only a part. Therefore, in God’s “great chain” (Pope 1.33), man only occupies a “rank” in the structure (Pope 2.48). Throughout the epistle, Pope highlights the pride of men who aspire to be angels (Pope 4.126) and the ultimately to play the role of “God of God” (Pope 4.122). Through his egocentric perspective of the world, man believes that the world is created only to satisfy his own needs and desires (Pope 5.131-40). However, according to Pope, in reality, God’s actions serve a larger purpose that extends

Paper Abstract:
Analysis of Robert Browning's 19th Century dramatic monologue poem.

Paper Introduction:
Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" (1842) is a dramatic monologue in which the character of the speaker, a Duke showing a painting of his wife, is gradually revealed. As the Duke speaks of the woman in the painting the reader's initial interest turns to apprehension. This feeling is heightened and then justified as he is shown to be responsible for her death. But the reader, now stunned by the Duke's blandly terrible nature, has also wondered all along what the point might be in talking about these matters. This becomes clear, however, when it is revealed that he has an actual auditor in the poem -- and the auditor's identity greatly increases the horror of the poem. All the accumulated inferences the reader has drawn from the Duke's increasingly bizarre speech have indicated that the woman is, indeed, dead -- as his first words seemed to indicate but never

Paper Abstract:
Analysis of Shelley's poem on reflection of nature.

Paper Introduction:
Shelley's 1817 poem "Mont Blanc: Lines Written in the Vale of Chamouni" features the reaction of a man who sees the famous mountain for the first time. In the course of viewing the mountain and the rugged landscape around it the speaker is moved, however, not only to do justice to the scene by describing it but to do justice to his own feelings as well. The fact that he has such an overwhelming reaction to the sight moves him to describe it in a manner that will persuade readers that they can share in the experience. But the sight does not just act on his intellect's ability to take in what there is to see and then describe it, it also provokes a variety of other responses: emotional reactions that are driven by the facts before him (because they interact with something within him) and imaginative responses in which his mind constructs, for example, sights and

Paper Abstract:
Detailed analysis of John Donne's poem of arguments presented by man courting a woman.

Paper Introduction:
John Donne's "The Flea" presents the clever arguments of a man who wants a woman to become his mistress. The poem consists of a dismissal of her scruples in which the speaker rates the entire act -- as well as its moral implications and its consequences -- as having little more importance than the actions and life of a lowly flea. There are, however, layers of irony in this apparent nonsense. The speaker devotes a great deal of ingenuity to the exposition of his argument and the amount of effort he puts into it belies everything he says about the relative unimportance of her objections. In addition, however, the effort he puts into devising this facetious argument is also meant to convey the intensity of his desire for his objective and this, in itself, is supposed to be convincing. And the listening woman's own response is ironic as well. She dismisses his

Paper Abstract:
Discusses elements of Romantic movement; Shelley & other poets.

Paper Introduction:
"Ode to the West Wind" by Percy Bysshe Shelley is an example of a Romantic poem. One of the elements of the Romantic Movement in literature was the elevation of Nature as a subject not only for poetry but for study, for life, and as a source of philosophy. This element is seen in different forms in the works of different artists. Romantic poetry such as that by Wordsworth, for instance, takes a more realistic and naturalistic view of Nature than does the more other-worldly sense of Nature found in Coleridge. Each poet features Nature, creates images of the natural world, and makes a connection between human life and the world of nature. This point of view is partially a product of the Enlightenment and of a more human-centered conception of the universe. Shelley puts these ideas into "Ode to the West Wind," addressing Nature as a force in

Paper Abstract:
Analysis of 3 poems; how their ideas & style demonstrate principles of Romanticism.

Paper Introduction:
The style and ideas of William Blake, in "Sick Rose," "The Tiger" and "The Lamb," demonstrate the basic principles of Romanticism. Blake emphasizes the importance of nature and the imagination as expressions of a deeper reality. His style and ideas are transcendental in that they go beyond the ordinary way of perceiving and describing reality, suggesting that there is a deeper and richer realm which is hinted at by nature and the imagination. In this case, "nature" includes human beings and especially their spiritual aspect. The Romantic style places great weight on language and imagery grounded in nature (the tiger, the lamb, the rose) and in the wildness and strangeness of the natural world. At the same time, Blake's poems are meant to show a connection between nature and human states of mind and spirit, including both the

Paper Abstract:
Examines Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock" & William Congreve's play "The Way of the World." Techniques used by both writers & comparison of depictions of women's lives.

Paper Introduction:
Both Alexander Pope's mock-epic poem "The Rape of the Lock" (1714) and William Congreve's play The Way of the World deal in a comic and satirical fashion with the manners and behavior of members of England's fashionable aristocracy. In both works the relations between the sexes -- centering ultimately around the institution of marriage -- are the focus of attention. But, because of the differences in societal expectations of men and women and the disparities of status and power, women act very differently from men. In this world women are to be pursued and to make themselves desirable in order to encourage such pursuit. But women must also protect their own interests -- both their reputations and their financial security -- as best they can. In this world men and women meet primarily in the important arena of courtship and marriage and, otherwise, lead largely separate

Paper Abstract:
Examines figure of Satan in Milton's poem. Analyzes Satan's descent into evil; parallels between Satan & Christ.

Paper Introduction:
In Milton's Paradise Lost the figure of Satan presents a contrast between the magnitude of the evil he instigates and the meanness of his character. The contrast extends, in Milton's metaphoric picture of Heaven, Hell, and Paradise even to his physical size and his ability to cross the entire universe, ascend near to heaven, and visit the Sun. Formerly one of God's most glorious creations, and still possessing immense power, Satan fell because of an almost childish level of self-importance. The absurdity of his envious behavior, the foolishness of his attempts to battle God's might, his perpetual self-deluded lies, and his base deceptions are all actions and sins characterized by endless pettiness. His exercise of his free will, one of God's greatest gifts, sent him as low as possible and in his brooding discontent Satan expended his great

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes 17th century metaphysical poetry by comparing & contrasting two poems: Andrew Marvell's TO HIS COY MISTRESS & John Donne's VALEDICTION FORBIDDING MOURNING.

Paper Introduction:
The poems "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell and "Valediction Forbidding Mourning" by John Donne are both examples of what is called metaphysical poetry from the seventeenth century. This poetry was produced by a group of poets of the seventeenth century, called the metaphysical poets by critics Herbert Grierson and T.S. Eliot because the poets showed certain similarities in their philosophical conception of the universe and in the way they expressed this philosophical view in their poetry (Lanstaff and Kermode 14). Andrew Marvell wrote such poetry and addressed a number of recurring themes, shaping his poetry through symbolism and the development of involved conceits that included more than a little sense of coy humor along with the philosophical base (Roth 98). "To His Coy Mistress" is a poem of seduction offered as an

Paper Abstract:
Examines a number of sonnets from Shakespeare's sonnet cycle, deciphers them, explains how they are constructed, & explores the ways in which they anticipated the Metaphysical movement in poetry.

Paper Introduction:
In the study of literature, the term "Metaphysical" refers to a type of poetry initiated by John Donne in the early seventeenth century--it is characterized by "conceits," elaborate, sustained metaphors (Abrams, 1993, 1081). In his use of such conceits, a Metaphysical poet "displays his own ingenuity but may express a deep vision of the world and the strands of analogy that seem to hold it together" (Abrams, 1993, 1081). Although William Shakespeare wrote and published his sonnet cycle before Donne's Metaphysical poetry was published, there are traces of what could be argued to be Metaphysical images and conceits within Shakespeare's work. This research will examine a number of sonnets from Shakespeare's sonnet cycle and decipher them, explain how they are constructed, and explore the ways in which Shakespeare anticipated the Metaphysical movement.

Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to compare and contrast from a Marxist standpoint the concepts of the poet articulated in Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads and Eliot's "Tradition and the Individual Talent." The plan of the research will be to set forth in general terms the presentation of central argument in each essay and then to discuss in detail their views of the poet's relationship to poetic materials and the completed poem, how their concepts of the poet are related to their political commitments and their position in history, and how the dramatic difference in aesthetic perspective can be accounted for. Two strands of thought inform Wordsworth's view of poet's relationship to the materials of poetry. First, there is the matter of departure from previous wisdom regarding the comportment and presentation of poetry as deriving from something appro

Paper Abstract:
Compares styles, world views, suffering, human condition, word choices in poems dealing with question of presence of God & religious faith.

Paper Introduction:
Matthew Arnold, in "Dover Beach" (1848?), and Gerard Manley Hopkins, in "God's Grandeur" (1877), are both concerned with the question of the presence of God or religious faith in the world. Neither poet actually asks a question, however, as Arnold sees the "Sea of Faith" withdrawing from the world, while Hopkins enthusiastically perceives God's presence in everything around him. Both poets, however, see human failure to appreciate God as part of the problem of their own times. But where Arnold sees the only option as withdrawal from a world with neither "certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain", Hopkins regrets the blindness of human beings who have come to dissociate themselves from God, even though He is always there in the world. A comparison of the two poems demonstrates not only the difference in their views of religion but the manner in which these

Paper Abstract:
Poem's use of classification for effect, speakers, imagery, Biblical allusion, theme.

Paper Introduction:
Andrew Marvell was one of the so-called metaphysical poets of the seventeenth century, a title conferred on a group of poets with certain similar approaches by Herbert Grierson and T.S. Eliot. Eliot himself notes that "[n]ot only is it extremely difficult to define metaphysical poetry, but difficult to decide what poets practice it and in which of their verses" (Eliot 23). Grierson offers a definition when he states that metaphysical poetry is poetry which "has been inspired by a philosophical conception of the universe and the role assigned to the human spirit in the great drama of existence" (Grierson 3). "To His Coy Mistress" is a poem of seduction offered as an argument directed at the lady of the title. Now, he offers an argument as to why she should submit to him, and he uses an extended metaphor to describe the life-cycle, to show how short

Paper Abstract:
Examines poem of seduction: speaker, object of affection, poem's argument, dramatic structure.

Paper Introduction:
Andrew Marvell was one of the so-called metaphysical poets of the seventeenth century, a title conferred on a group of poets with certain similar approaches by Herbert Grierson and T.S. Eliot. Eliot himself notes that "[n]ot only is it extremely difficult to define metaphysical poetry, but difficult to decide what poets practice it and in which of their verses" (Eliot 23). Grierson offers a definition when he states that metaphysical poetry is poetry which "has been inspired by a philosophical conception of the universe and the role assigned to the human spirit in the great drama of existence" (Grierson 3). "To His Coy Mistress" is a poem of seduction offered as an argument directed at the lady of the title. Now, he offers an argument as to why she should submit to him, and he uses an extended metaphor to describe the life-cycle, to show how short

Paper Abstract:
Examines poem & ancient British monument & their impact on the human imagination.

Paper Introduction:
The human imagination is one of the things we believe separates us from the animals, and different writers and theorists have taken different views of the importance of the imagination. Blaise Pascal points to one of the primary values of the imagination--it allows us to conceive of things we cannot experience directly. One of these things is death, which we do experience eventually but which we must imagine in life. One of the problems Pascal sees in science is that it makes human beings arrogant, as if they were able to control the world in a way they are not. In truth, he finds human beings weak and frail without spiritual support, capable of being completely destroyed by the slightest shift in health: Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature, but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe

Paper Abstract:
Examines Romantic elements of William Blake's "The Tyger," Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" & William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud."

Paper Introduction:
This study will examine three poems by English poets of the Romantic period: William Blake's "The Tyger," Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan," and William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as A Cloud." The study will examine the basic principles of Romanticism and show how each poem upholds those principles. Although the three poets demonstrate different levels of intensity and different approaches to reality, all three fall within the Romantic mantle in their emphasis on nature and the imagination as expressions of a deeper reality. The Romantic poets, as Scholes et al. write, tended to be "transcendental in their philosophy, seeing nature as symbolic of the Creator's presence, and natural creation as analogous to the lesser creations of imaginative human beings" (Scholes et al. 606). Cuddon notes these features of Romantic poetry:

Paper Abstract:
Critiques poem's lyrics, music, rhyme, meaning, theme of death & eternal life.

Paper Introduction:
OUTLINE I. Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls" uses elements of song (lyrics), music, and rhyme to convey the suggestion or feeling that human life seems to end with death, but in fact continues through the "echoes" of love and longing shared by individuals. A. The use of the bugle as the central image gives the poem a musical basis, for the bugle denotes both death, as in "Taps," and the longing of the living to remain connected to the dead. II. The poem qualifies as a song in its brevity, its expression of the feelings or thoughts of an individual speaker, and in the absence of narrative. The song conveys a mood or feeling rather than a story, and gives to the reader not a philosophical

Paper Abstract:
Examines poets' themes, styles, focus on Nature as examples of 19th Cent. Romantic Movement.

Paper Introduction:
One of the elements of the Romantic Movement in literature was the elevation of Nature as a subject not only for poetry but for study, for life, and as a source of philosophy. This element is seen in different forms in the works of different artists. Romantic poetry such as that by Wordsworth, for instance, takes a more realistic and naturalistic view of Nature than does the more other-worldly sense of Nature found in Coleridge. Each poet features Nature, creates images of the natural world, and makes a connection between human life and the world of nature. This point of view is partially a product of the Enlightenment and of a more human-centered conception of the universe. A comparison of some poems by Wordsworth and Coleridge shows how different poets reacted to the new world-view. The Romantic period in English literature is usually

Paper Abstract:
Examines epic medieval poem's Christian irony, heroic quest, themes (mercy, joy, suffering, grief), spiritual vs. physical aspects.

Paper Introduction:
This study will examine Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, focusing on the poem's Christian irony that mercy and joy are generated endlessly out of severity and grief, and vice versa. The poem shows the protagonist's heroic quest as spiritual as well as physical, so that every celebration and every challenge in the work can be viewed on at least those two levels. The obstacles set in Gawain's path, from the temptation of the host's wife to the Green Knight himself, are designed to test the physical and mental valor of the hero and to require him to fulfill his spiritual potential. His enlightenment as an evolving Christian, in other words, is an important part of his overall quest. The quest would not be worthwhile were it not for the rewards. Gawain is not a monk dedicated to the ascetic life. He

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes poem's romantic view of human nature & imaginative living.

Paper Introduction:
This study will analyze the romantic view of human nature as expressed in the excerpt from John Keats' "Sleep and Poetry" beginning with the line "O for Ten Years" and ending with the line "The thought of that same chariot, and the strange/ Journey it went." The study will argue that Keats' view of human nature is indeed thoroughly romantic in this excerpt, focusing as he does on the intimate, even mystical connection between man--or at least the voice of the poet--and the idyllic world of nature. Keats expanded the Romantic tradition in poetry in that he gloried in the ability of a human being not only to face his own mortality but also to rise above it through his poetic imagination. As Harold Bloom writes, What Keats so greatly gives to the Romantic tradition . . . is what no poet before him had the capability of

Paper Abstract:
Examines Old English poem's origins, heroism, characters, warrior values, focusing on issues of youth & old age.

Paper Introduction:
The Old English poem Beowulf offers a number of contrasts in telling the story of the hero Beowulf and his fight to save a community not his own from the monster Grendel. One of the contrasts is between youth and old age, and this contrast is not presented in a very explicit fashion but is inherent in the role of the young man, Beowulf, who is expected to achieve a certain heroic stature before he becomes older, like the leader of the Danes, a man much older now but one who would have been more like the youthful and vigorous Beowulf when he was in his prime. Now, he needs the help of the younger man to protect his kingdom and so to maintain his household. Through his actions, Beowulf is able to create his own legend and secure his own riches and his own kingdom, and later in the poem he is placed in much the same position as Hrothgar early in the poem except that he is still

Paper Abstract:
Freudian & Jungian interpretations of heroic medieval tale.

Paper Introduction:
Sir Gawain and The Green Knight: A Psychological Interpretation Introduction The first to apply the psychoanalytical apparatus of Sigmund Freud, C.G. Jung, and comparative religion to Sir Gawain was Heinrich Zimmer, who interpreted the main plot elements of the poem in a wide, crosscultural context of myths and fairy tales in which the main incidents revolve around the archetypal theme of death and rebirth (Sadowski 34). Analysts such as Zimmer and Putter demonstrate the differential analysis of the text that will be performed according to the analyst's reliance on Freudian or Jungian analysis. Generally, Freudian analyses such as Putter focus more on the individual psychology revealed in the text. Analyses such as Zimmer's, however, which are based on Jungian psychology, tend to focus on the more collective and social
