WHITT7 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TCtjc XUOcrsi&r $rcss CAMBRIDGE MASSACHUSETTS PRINTED IN THE U.S.A. TO GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRV 306123 PREFACE POE showed the utmost solicitude for the final text of his poems. He constantly revised and reprinted them. Professor G. E. Woodberry in his revised Life of Poe says: "There is no such example in literature of poetic elaboration as is contained in the successive issues of ' ' these poems. His revisions were minute sometimes a mere word, and again only a punctuation mark or two. But even the mere matter of punctuation in the text, to an artistic poet like Poe, was of more than passing mo ment. Poe himself more fully explains this in Graham's Magazine for February, 1848, where he wrote: "That punctuation is important all agree; but how few com prehend the extent of its importance! The writer who neglects punctuation, or mis-punctuates, is liable to be misunderstood. It does not seem to be known that, even when the sense is perfectly clear, a sentence may be de prived of half its force its spirit its point by im proper punctuation." Under these circumstances there is no difficulty in deciding upon Poe's last revision as the authoritative and final text of his poems. Indeed in the preface to the Stedman-Woodberry edition of Poe's poems it is said, "The claim of his latest revision to be accepted as the authorized text seems to the Editors irresistible." The text of the poems adopted by them was that of the so-called J.

    University of Connecticut OpenCommons@UConn Doctoral Dissertations University of Connecticut Graduate School 6-27-2016 Notions of Self and Nation in French Author- Aviators of World War II: From Myth to Ambivalence Christopher Kean University of Connecticut - Storrs, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations Recommended Citation Kean, Christopher, "Notions of Self and Nation in French Author-Aviators of World War II: From Myth to Ambivalence" (2016). Doctoral Dissertations. 1161. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1161 Notions of Self and Nation in French Author-Aviators of World War II: From Myth to Ambivalence Christopher Steven Kean, PhD University of Connecticut, 2016 The traditional image of wartime aviators in French culture is an idealized, mythical notion that is inextricably linked with an equally idealized and mythical notion of nationhood. The literary works of three French author-aviators from World War II – Antoine de Saint- Exupéry, Jules Roy, and Romain Gary – reveal an image of the aviator and the writer that operates in a zone between reality and imagination. The purpose of this study is to delineate the elements that make up what I propose is a more complex and even ambivalent image of both individual and nation. Through these three works – Pilote de guerre (Flight to Arras), La Vallée heureuse (The Happy Valley), and La Promesse de l’aube (Promise at Dawn) – this dissertation proposes to uncover not only the figures of individual narratives, but also the figures of “a certain idea of France” during a critical period of that country’s history.

Poe (short stories) 1845 • Eureka: A Prose Poem (poetry) 1848 • The Literati: Some Honest Opinions about Authorial Merits and Demerits, with Occasional Words of Personality (criticism) 1850 Major Themes The most prominent features of Edgar Allan Poe's poetry are a pervasive tone of melancholy, a longing for lost love and beauty, and a preoccupation with death, particularly the deaths of beautiful women. Most of Poe's works, both poetry and prose, feature a first-person narrator, often ascribed by critics as Poe himself. Numerous scholars, both contemporary and modern, have suggested that the experiences of Poe's life provide the basis for much of his poetry, particularly the early death of his mother, a trauma that was repeated in the later deaths of two mother- surrogates to whom the poet was devoted. Poe's status as an outsider and an outcast--he was orphaned at an early age; taken in but never adopted by the Allans; raised as a gentleman but penniless after his estrangement from his foster father; removed from the university and expelled from West Point--is believed to account for the extreme loneliness, even despair, that runs through most of his poetry.

  • Australian Colonies;
    THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES; TOGETHER WITH NOTES OF A VOYAGE FROM AUSTRALIA TO PANAMA In the "Golden Age," DESCRIPTIONS OF TAHITI AND OTHER ISLANDS IN THIS PACIFIC, AND A TOUR THROUGH SOME OF THE STATES OF AMERICA, IN 1854, BY H. HUSSEY. LONDON: BLACKBURN & BURT, HOLBORN HILL; ADELAIDE: E. S. WIGG, RUNDLE STREET. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. THE writer of the following pages has been a resident for fifteen years in the Colony of South Australia. He has endeavoured to give such information about each of the colonies, but more particularly the one in which he resided, as he trusts may be both useful and inte- resting to his English readers, and to his friends in Australia—some of whom previous to his departure re- quested him to take notes, and furnish them with the result of his observations; to whom, as well as to the former, he hopes the latter part of this little work will not be uninteresting. In the few countries visited by him, the writer has seen sufficient to make him well pleased with his adopted land, and to see that each country pos- sesses advantages and disadvantages far more equally balanced than many are disposed to admit. Having determined on leaving Adelaide for a few months in order to visit England and the United States, he availed himself of an opportunity that offered, in the steamship "Golden Age," of proceeding via Panama. This enabled the writer to satisfy himself, and he doubts not, from the contents of this little work, others will be satisfied, that, notwithstanding the desirability of the Panama route, as the shortest and most direct route be- tween England and the colonies of Australia, as well as the United States, it is not one that could at present be recommended; but when the following improvements are effected, the writer has no hesitation in stating, that it will be the quickest mail, and the most pleasant passenger route that can be selected.

His insightful remarks, useful advice and continuous guidance and support helped me in writing and completing this work. I could not have imagined a better mentor. I would also like to thank my friends, family and partner for supporting me these past months and for enduring my numerous references to Poe and his works – which I made in every possible situation. Thank you for being there and for offering much-needed breaks with talk, coffee, cake and laughter. Last but not least, I am indebted to one more person: Edgar Allan Poe. His amazing – although admittedly sometimes rather macabre – stories have fascinated me for years and have sparked my desire to investigate them more profoundly. To all of you: thank you. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 6 1.
