Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2.0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Department of English), course: Literature: From Colony to Early Republic, language: English, abstract: Philip Morin Freneau was one of America's most important writers. Especially in the period of the American Revolution he became famous as a teacher, secretary, seaman, master of a merchant ship, clerk at a post office, as a satirist, journalist, poet, editor of "e;Freeman's Journal"e; and the "e;National Gazette"e; and as a translator for Thomas Jefferson. Two themes that influenced his writings were his interest in nature and the relationship between men and nature as well as the American Revolution. The question which this paper shall discuss is whether his two poems The Wild Honey Suckle and To a New England Poet are characteristic for his writings and whether they have anything in common, although they seem very different at first sight: The interest in nature becomes obvious, regarding the first poem. The attitude towards the English and his countrymen is expressed in the second one. In this paper I will at first analyze the two poems. I will summarize their content, as well as take a look at their structural and formal peculiarities. Then I will pay attention to the imagery and the stylistic devices that are used to transmit a certain atmosphere. Moreover, I will outline how the flower in The Wild Honey Suckle is described. In a manner analogous to that I am also going to focus on the description of America and England in To a New England Poet. Finally, I will try to answer the question whether the two poems are representative for other poems of Philip Freneau and whether Freneau can be called the Poet of the American Revolution, since he mainly concentrated on that topic, or whether this is not enough to show the variety of themes he dealt with. Fortunately, there are interesting works written about Philip Freneau's poems Freneau as those of Lewis Leary, his biographer, Mary Weatherspoon Bowden, Jacob Axelrad, Nelson F. Adkins, Harry Hayden Clark or Richard C. Vitzthum. An interesting question is why there are so many different opinions on Philip Freneau s works. Is it true that Philip Freneau failed in almost everything he attempted (Leary The Rascal Freneau ix)? - Häftad, Tyska, 2007

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Department of English and Linguistics), course: The Rhyme and Reason of American Poetry, language: English, abstract: Philip Freneau was one of the most discussed poets of the late eighteenth century. On one hand he was celebrated as the "e;Poet of the American Revolution"e; (Eberwein 191) or the "e;Father of American Poetry"e; (Stauffer 52), a journalist of influence, a patriot and skilful writer, on the other hand he was forgotten for a long time. How did Philip Freneau see himself? What were his targets and how did he try to reach them? This paper examines Freneau s look on his role as an author on his poetry and plans. What kind of influences affected or promoted his career? Regarding his own poems To an Author , The City Poet and To a New England Poet his description of an author s life and therefore his life will become apparent. Furthermore, a closer look on his contemporaries, the Connecticut Wits, especially Dwight, Barlow and Bryant will display how independent and original Freneau s writing was, and what kind of relationships he had towards these American authors. At the same time his relationship towards British poets is interesting: He thought he rejected most of their writing; but was he really not influenced by them at all? Could it be that he sometimes even copied parts of their work? After having a short look on other intertextual influences like Greek mythology, verses from the Bible and Classic forms, this paper will look back on his life in a retrospective way and analyse his attitude towards himself. Did Freneau manage to reach his goals or did he lose sight of them? - Häftad, Tyska, 2012

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: Throughout centuries English and Scottish ballads have reached a great audience, being a link between generations, since they have always been orally transmitted. One of these ballads is The Maid Freed from the Gallows, Child 95. Eight different variations of this ballad are mentioned. For instance, The Broom of the Cathery Knowes, Lady Maisry, The Golden Key or The Golden Ball can be found in English and Scottish tradition. Not only English and Scottish variations of the ballad are popular. Moreover, variation B can be found in more than ten European countries. Also, variation B The Broom of the Cathery Knowes appears in different versions. In the following paper The Broom o the Cathery Knowes and its Place in Tradition a version, from the Motherwell MS, recited by Widow McCormick, is analysed. Above all the plot structure, time and place, tunes, and language will be considered. Taking all these aspects into account, this analysis will determine, where this version can be placed in the ballad tradition. This paper will take the term definition of John Antony Cuddon s Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory as a basis for research. The analysis of the ballad according to Wolfgang Muller s ideas concerning ballad origin, rhyme, metre and language will show, how The Broom o Cathery Knows fits these aspects. In the early 1970s Eleanor Long dealt with The Maid Freed from the Gallows when she wrote The Maid and The Hangman which will be used in this paper to categorize the discussed variation of Emily Lile s Scottish Ballads. Putting the ballad into Long s Schema wilI make the significance of the peculiarities of this version apparent. Regarding every stanza and often even every verse or single words of the ballad, Eleanor Long compared all the versions of The Broom of the Cathery Knowes , Child 95 B. Working with her Schema the differences between Widow McCormick s singing and popular versions become obvious. David Covington Fowler s A Literary History of the Popular Ballad and Deborah Symonds Weep Not for Me: Women, Ballads, and Infanticide in Early Modern Scotland allowed to find traces to the geographic and historical origin of The Broom o the Cathery Knowes , which are connected to infanticide and death sentences int the 17th and 18th century. In the end the motifs of The Broom o Cathery Knowes will be regarded as they are listed in Natascha Wurzbach and Simone Salz s Motif Index of the Child Corpus. - Häftad, Tyska, 2012

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Department of English and Linguistics), course: Slaughterhouse Five, language: English, abstract: The novel "e;Slaughterhouse-Five"e;, written by Kurt Vonnegut in 1969, isabout Billy Pilgrim, a man, who has become unstuck in time , which means thathe travels through different periods of his life. The novel starts with anautobiographical part, which is about Kurt Vonnegut s life after the SecondWorld War. In the following parts Vonnegut writes about Billy Pilgrim. The readerlearns that as a young adult Billy Pilgrim is a soldier in the Second World Warjust like Kurt Vonnegut was. He survives this war with the help of other soldiersand later on he settles as a bourgeois civilian with his wife Valencia Merble andhis two children. Kurt Vonnegut tells the reader that in the time of the Second World WarBilly Pilgrim has come unstuck in time, and has been kidnapped by aliens froma planet called Tralfamadore. The reader gets to know Billy Pilgrim's life story aswell as his personality. As a round character Billy is shown in different situationswith all his emotions and thoughts. Vonnegut describes traumatic events inBilly s childhood and also emotionally important events in his grown-up life, likehis 18th wedding anniversary. After the awful situations Billy witnessed in the Second World War, forinstance the Dresden bombing, and an airplane crash he survives, Billy says hewas kidnapped by a flying saucer. This could be a sign of Billy Pilgrim sufferingfrom Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which will be examined in thefollowing text. Although the novel contains sad and cruel topics, the tone of the novel isgenerally sarcastic and unemotional. Billy Pilgrim's life and the literary style of Slaughterhouse-Five inevitably lead to the question: In How Far Does KurtVonnegut's Depiction of the Protagonists in Slaughterhouse-Five Contribute to the Novel Being an Anti-War Novel?Since Vonnegut's publishers call Slaughterhouse-Five one of the world'sgreat anti-war books and Vonnegut himself promised his friend Mary O'Hare towrite an anti-war novel, these statements will be examined in this essay. - Häftad, Engelska, 2014
