  • William Faulkner, Richard M. Weaver, and the Crisis of Modernity
    Divine Philosophies of Two Southern Gentlemen: William Faulkner, Richard M. Weaver, and the Crisis of Modernity Submitted by Vickie Lynn Caudle A thesis submitted i n partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Northeastern State University December 2015 ii Divine Philoso ph ies of Two Southern Gen tlemen: Will iam Faulkner, Richard M. Weave r, and the Crisis of Moderni ty Vickie Lynn Caudle Th is th esis is approv .for recom mend ation to the Graduate College / / 2 Dean, Graduate College, Date 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the response in writing of two Southern writers, William Faulkner and Richard M. Weaver, to the crisis of modernity. In looking at some of the changes brought about in the society as well as problems created, these two Southern sons respond to the same and offer some solutions through Platonic ideas or concepts of the metaphysical as is shown in their narrative and philosophical work. Two of the early works of Faulkner, The Unvanquished and Sanctuary, as well as three of the essays of Weaver, "The Phaedrus and the Nature of Rhetoric," "To Write the Truth," and "The Power of the Word," are considered. Weaver offers a powerful critique of modernity and the problems associated with it. Faulkner's offering is less direct, as his is through the creative response of narrative. Both demonstrate how the evils of modernity can be countered by a combination of dialectic and right rhetoric rooted in a commitment to the ideas of the metaphysical. 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who has listened to, encouraged, and supported me throughout this endeavor.

Honks, Whistles, and Harp: The Transnational Sound of Harpo Marx 1 Honks, Whistles, and Harp: The Transnational Sound of Harpo Marx Marie Ventura Introduction: a Transnational Trickster 1 In early autumn, 1933, New York critic Alexander Woollcott telephoned his friend Harpo Marx with a singular proposal. Having just learned that President Franklin Roosevelt was about to carry out his campaign promise to have the United States recognize the Soviet Union, Woollcott—a great friend and supporter of the Roosevelts, and Eleanor Roosevelt in particular—had decided “that Harpo Marx should be the first American artist to perform in Moscow after the US and the USSR become friendly nations” (Marx and Barber 297). “They’ll adore you,” Woollcott told him. “With a name like yours, how can you miss? Can’t you see the three-sheets? ‘Presenting Marx—In person’!” (Marx and Barber 297) 2 Harpo’s response, quite naturally, was a rather vehement: you’re crazy! The forty-four- year-old performer had no intention of going to Russia.1 In 1933, he was working in Hollywood as one of a family comedy team of four Marx Brothers: Chico, Harpo, Groucho, and Zeppo.
