  • "Sorrow's springs are the same" : synoeciosis in the poetry of Alfred Tennyson and Gerard Manley Hopkins

    Creator:
    Adamson, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Tennyson and Hopkins scholarship is dominated by a focus on antithetical dichotomies.

    Creator:
    Anderson, Evan Crichton
    Abstract:
    As a metafictional work of science fiction literature, A Novel Elysium explores the timelessness of both the human mind and its literary surroundings, comparing the self-awareness of its characters to the sometimes tragic or empowering metaphysical realizations of human beings.

  • An Evental Romanticism

    Creator:
    Webster, Austin
    Abstract:
    The Romantic period sits in a liminal historical space when radically different ideas about the categories of past, future, progress, and change coexisted in popular consciousness. The French Revolution inaugurated the concept of an Event, something that appears to come out of nowhere, and that not even the most well-informed...
