(ON) 4 k Associated Writing Programs by Verlin Cassill, Brown University AWP is a cooperative organization drawing its membership fromthe writing programs attached to English Departments in several colleges anduniversities. J Its major objectives are: .4 1. To place writers more usefully and effectively in the mainstreamof literary education. As we know, very few if any Art Departments any more attempt toteach art without includ- ing practicing painters and sculptors on their staffs. To teach literature as an art- - 3 rather than as a subject of knowledge--it may be essential tobring practicing poets and novelists more vitAdrously into teaching situations. To encourage new publishing and reading activities within theswelling academic community. Perhaps more than ever the talents of young writers havedifficulty in finding the pub- lishing outlets to bring their work to the attention of the young readerswho might be their natural audience. -

WILLIAM STYRON and JOSEPH HELLER William
r\c». ñ TRAGIC AND COMIC MODES IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE: WILLIAM STYRON AND JOSEPH HELLER William Luttrell 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 June 1969 Approved by Doctoral Committee /»í J Adviser Dg$artment of English Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT William Styron and Joseph Heller are important contemporary American writers who can be associated with a certain "climate of opin ion" in the twentieth century. The intellectual basis for this climate of opinion is that the world we know today, metaphysically, historical ly, scientifically, and socially, is one that does not admit to a secure and stable interpretation. Within such a climate of opinion one hesi tates to enumerate metaphysical truths about the universe; one doubts historical eschatology, except perhaps in a diabolical sense; one speaks scientifically in terms of probability and the statistics of randomness rather than absolute order; and one analyzes social problems in terms of specific values in specific situations rather than from an unchanging and absolute frame of reference. Indeed, it is because of a diminishing hope of achieving an absolute or even satisfying control over the world that many have come to live with contingency as a way of life, and have little reason to believe that their partially articulated values rever berate much beyond themselves. Through their fictional characters William Styron and Joseph Heller are contemporary observers of this climate of opinion. Styron reveals in his novels a vision of man separated from his familiar values and unable to return to them. -

Threeinterrelated programs were developed: (1) the presence of professional writers inthe public school classrooms,(2) teacher-training seminars led by the writers, and (3) thedevelopment of relevant curriculum materials. In a related pilot prolect,college undergraduates developed a unit on contemporary poetry that theytaught at a vocational high school inBaltimore. Findings of the Collaborative suggested thatprofessional writers inspire students to write in ways that their teachers do not envision;that all children have an intense inner life and an awareness of sex, violence, power,and other strong emotions; andthat many teachers arewilling to change to less authoritarian teachingstyles.

A University Microfiims International
This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. -
