So persistent was the fairy note throughout the evolution of our literature, that from ShaKespeare, Drayton and HerricK, to Swinburne, Tennyson and Rossetti the tribute to the elfin realm was paid, and to-day in Ireland and Gaelic Scotland the horns of Elfland still blow "of perilous seas in faery lands forlorn." No other literature save Greece has given us glimpses of the mysterious land of phantasy and charm that equal the pictures of the English poets.

  • DAVIS, ALLISON COOPER, Ph.D. Ponder and Believe: Interpretive Experiments in Victorian Literary Fantasies. (2009) Directed by Dr
    DAVIS, ALLISON COOPER, Ph.D. Ponder and Believe: Interpretive Experiments in Victorian Literary Fantasies. (2009) Directed by Dr. Mary Ellis Gibson. 218 pp. This dissertation examines experimental Victorian fantasy novels in order to provide an alternate history for the Victorian era, one traditionally associated with the realist novel. Texts are discussed using fantasy theory, reader-response criticism, and rhetorical philosophy in order to demonstrate how literary belief influences the moral project of experimental Victorian novelists. First, a review of literature introduces the reader to the major ideas and problems of fantasy texts. Then, Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is used to exemplify the relationship between the fantastic author and her reader. The first few chapters, then, explain the theory of reading fantasy that will be examined in the rest of the project. The following three chapters discuss the experimental nature of Sara Coleridge’s Phantasmion: Prince of Palmland (1837); George MacDonald’s Phantastes (1858); and Jean Ingelow’s Mopsa, the Fairy (1869). The focus is on how these authors manipulated readers’ expectations for a fairy tale in order to use the trope of childlike wonder as a reading strategy that would encourage interpretive inquiry about the unity of the fantastic and the material. The primary thesis is that these authors use theories about literary belief (derived from Romantic influences) to structure their texts and to guide readers in how to read experimental fantasy work. The dissertation concludes with a chapter that explains how critics could understand further the intersection of fantasy and realism during the nineteenth century and could begin to view them as part of a unified Victorian tradition rather than as incommensurable modes.

    JERZY KOS INSKI I A STUDY OP HIS NOVELS David J. Lipani A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1973 BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 556843 ii ABSTRACT Vo. The Introduction examined relevant aspects of Kosin­ ski’s life in an attempt to establish a relationship between his past experiences and the major themes of his fiction. It was discovered that the author’s exposure to diverse forms of authoritarian control constituted the source of his bias against any external force operating counter to the self’s freedom. The four novels comprising the Kosinski canon were analyzed in detail, especially as they were directed toward the quest for a viable self in a contemporary world threatening to submerge the individual consciousness. Each protagonist was shown struggling with some variant of social repression» the boy in The Painted Bird faced hostile peasants who, swayed by Nazist ideology, viewed him as a menace to their own safety» the narrator in Steps fled the socialist bloc because there he had no control of his destiny, nor was his being acknowledged as an entity separ­ ate from the masses» Chance, in Being There, was subjected to a more insidious totalitarianism--the television medium, whose false representation of reality effectively kneads the individual into an easily manipulated, mindless soul» and Jonathan Whalen, in The Devil Tree, fell victim to the Protestant Ethic, the demands of which left him unable to see himself as something other than an image occasioned by wealth and status.

N no part of the British Islands has the belief in the existence of Fairies retained a stronger hold upon the people than in the Isle of Man. In spite of the tendency of this matter-of-fact age to destroy what little of poetry, romance, and chivalry Nineteenth Century education has left to us, there lurks still in many countries, and especially in mountainous districts, a half credulity in the supernatural. Many legends of good and evil Fairies are still related by the country of Mona's Isle care to into people ; and those who inquire the habits and customs of the Manx cottagers will see and hear much that will reward their curiosity. It is not the mere excursionist, visiting the Island for a summer holiday and keeping on the beaten track of sightseers, who will ever learn or see anything of these customs, but he who branches off the high road into the recesses of the mountain districts.

Practicing Nostalgia: Time and Memory in Nabokov's Early Russian Fiction Abstract Nabokov's earliest Russian fiction er veals his lifelong preoccupation with time and his complex strategies for preserving heightened moments of experience. Dissatisfied with the brevity of involuntary (Proustian) recall, his émigré protagonists strive to inhabit their Russian past more fully through a painstaking process of aesthetic re-creation. Beginning with a handful of vivid recollections, the hero of Mary gradually fabricates a past that is more intensely real than the original. Nabokov's most mature characters, however, recognize the solipsistic danger and utility of living in a vanished mental paradise. Turning to the present, they find unexpected beauty in the arrangement of ordinary objects in Berlin.
