Rogers, Thomas Andrew. "Representations of Christianity in the works of John Berryman." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2004. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/6065/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis describes the representation of Christianity in the writings of John Berryman-his struggle with the faith being the most central and incessant preoccupation of his verse. Focussing on each major stage of his artistic development in tum, I demonstrate how its depiction is influenced by biographical factors, his scholarship and sources, and his evolving poetic style. In The Dispossessed the issue of faith is evident, but obscured; however, much of his unpublished verse of the period is characterised by a more transparent confessional idiom, frequently expressing his dilemma of conscience over the question of religious commitment. His failure to develop an effective poetic voice is the main reason why his religious poetry of the 1930s and 1940s remained in the private sphere. He achieved his stylistic breakthrough with Berryman's Sonnets, where the struggle with his conscience is depicted as a religious conflict, in which his adultery means a confrontation with the Law of God. Homage to Mistress Bradstreet features a more developed representation of a similar conflict; the two alternative life choices before him are personified in the characters of Anne Bradstreet and the 'poet'. Difficulties of faith continue to play a major role in The Dream Songs, where the poet, adopting the persona of Henry, directly confronts God and Christianity with the problem of evil and the historical quest for Jesus. His poetry portrays a perceived conflict between faith and reason, and an intellectual pursuit for the truth epitomised by his poem 'The Search'. However, the poet's 'conversion experience' during the composition of Love & Fame is depicted as a response to the direct intervention of God in his life. His subsequent devotional poetry is dominated by his new sense of relationship with the' God of Rescue', who increasingly becomes associated with the full Christian conception of Jesus Christ the Saviour.

Cooper, B. B. "John Berryman and the spiritual politics of cold war American poetry." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2007. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.597963.

Full text

Abstract:

John Berryman continues to be critically perceived as an academic, establishment poet whose career represented a development from New Critical traditionalism towards a solipsistic, self-absorbed confessionalism. In this thesis, I seek to challenge such a limiting view through an exploration of his two long poems, Homage to Mistress Bradstreet and The Dream Songs, as works that extensively engage with contemporary American Cold War culture to a degree not admitted by such restrictive paradigms. Centrally, I examine the way in which Barryman’s engagement with religion occurs not simply as a personal questing, but as a form of cultural critique that is reflective of the politicised nature of Cold War American religious life. In chapter one, I interrogate the persistent critical tendency to codify American poetry since World War II in terms of an opposition between a ‘mainstream’ establishment centre and a countercultural ‘avant-garde’. I then seek in my second chapter to highlight the inadequacy of this canonical model, through an exposition of spiritual politics as a shared concern of the two poets most famously associated with the ‘establishment’ and ‘countercultural’ subdivisions of Cold War American poetry: Robert Lowell and Allen Ginsberg. In chapter three, I discuss the spiritual politics of Berryman’s Homage to Mistress Bradstreet. In chapter four, I challenge Christopher Rick’s suggestion that The Dream Songs is a ‘theodicy’, and show how recognition of the political nature of Berryman’s religious engagements actually exposes the poem as a form of ‘antitheodicy’, whereby its protagonist Henry is continually unable to reconcile the contemporary world in terms of any overarching scheme of divine justice. Finally, in my fifth chapter, I examine four key thematic concerns of The Dream Songs – World War II, the Cold War, Freudian psychoanalysis, and the minstrelsy and blackface traditions – in order to elucidate the heterogeneous contexts in which Berryman’s religiopolitical concerns operate.

Boswell, Matthew James. "The Holocaust poetry of John Berryman, Sylvia Plath and W.D. Snodgrass." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2005. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/4835/.

Full text

Abstract:

John Berryman, Sylvia Plath and W. D. Snodgrass are each commonly associated with the poetic movement known as ‘confessionalism’ which emerged in the USA in the late 1950s and early 1960s. They did not, however, write works of undiluted autobiography; through close readings of their Holocaust verse, I take the poetry, rather than the lives of the poets, to be the ultimate authority on what they had to say about history, about the ethics of representing historical atrocity in art, and about the ‘existential’ questions that the Nazi genocide raises. Chapter 1 offers the first sustained analysis of Berryman’s unfinished collection of Holocaust poems, The Black Book (1948 - 1958) - one of the earliest engagements by an American writer with this particular historical subject. In my second chapter I look at some of Plath’s fictionalised dramatic monologues, which, I argue, offer self-reflexive meditations on representational poetics, the commercialisation of the Holocaust, and the ways in which the event reshapes our understanding of individual identity and culture. My third chapter focuses on W. D. Snodgrass’s The Fuehrer Bunker (1995) - a formally inventive cycle of dramatic monologues spoken by leading Nazi ministers, which can be read as an heuristic text whose ultimate objective is the moral instruction of its readers. Finally, I suggest that while all three poets offer distinct responses to the Holocaust, they each consider how non-victims approach the genocide through acts of identification. For Snodgrass, it is important that we do identify with the perpetrators, who were not all that different from ourselves; for Berryman and Plath, however, the difficulty of identifying with the victims marks out the limits of historical understanding.

Full text

Abstract:

I den här studien undersöks den lyriska erfarenheten i John Berrymans verk The Dream Songs. Ämnet ”lyrisk erfarenhet” är hämtat från Alf Nymans studie Begreppet lyrisk erfarenhet med undertiteln Kunskapsteoretiska och estetisk-psykologiska studier i symbolisk och realistisk diktning, utgiven 1958. Nyman utvecklar i sin studie en teori om detta ämne vilket sedan appliceras på europeisk modernistisk poesi. Min ambition är att med Nymans teori genomföra lyrikanalys på en amerikansk poet som hör till en kategori poeter som tar avstånd från modernistiska ideal och utvecklar ett nytt idiom. Genom att redogöra för Nymans teori analyseras sedan fem dikter ur Berrymans verk. Målet är att urskilja vad det är i dikten som ger stöd för den lyriska erfarenheten. I en avslutande diskussion lyfter jag upp vad som varit genomgående tema i Berrymans poesi. Resultatet sätts också i relation till Nymans resultat för att på så sätt nå en kontextuell förståelse om ämnet.

Full text

Abstract:

Pulling Tangled Strings: "The Puppeteer" and Other Stories is a collection of stories with strong thematic and emotional connections that includes an opening preface describing the process used when writing the stories. Each of the stories is united by a main character that desperately wants to gain control of his environment. From a character acting out a classic revenge tale on his friend to a comatose teenager victimized by an ambiguous tragedy, these are characters who have been put into difficult life situations and need to feel like they are pulling the strings in their lives again. In all cases, however, the characters come to find that control does not come easily and that the motivations for their behavior are never clear cut, even to themselves.

Abstract:

The Hat Lady Equation is a collection of poems by Lauren Capone. As influences she cites Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, among the exquisite minutiae of day-to-day living. The poems explore works of visual art by Alberto Giacometti, James Taylor Bonds, Chris Dennis, Blaine Capone (her brother), and creatures of the natural world including fish, the rhinoceros, a lettered olive shell. . . . Lauren shows a preoccupation with disassembling through the poems whether it's her identity, art, or happenings of everyday life.

Schwieler, Elias. "Mutual implications: otherness in theory and John Berryman's poetry of loss." Doctoral thesis, Umeå University, Modern Languages, 2003. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-64.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines John Berryman’s poetry of loss together with four different theoretical perspectives. It is the purpose of the study to involve Berryman’s poetry and critical theory in a dialogue which attempts to break down the hierarchy that positions theory as the subject and literature or poetry as the object of study. Instead, by focusing on the otherness of each discourse, that is, what could be called the unconscious of Berryman’s poetry of loss and the language of theory, poetry and theory can be seen to presuppose and mutually imply each other. Those of Berryman’s poems mainly analyzed in the thesis, and which could be called his poetry of loss are “The Ball Poem,” Homage to Mistress Bradstreet, and The Dream Songs. The four theoretical perspectives consist of Martin Heidegger’s thinking concerning the word and concept departure, David S. Reynolds’s notion of the subversive in the American Renaissance, Nicolas Abraham’s psychoanalytical concept anasemia, and Maurice Blanchot’s theory of death and poetry in his book The Space of Literature. The theoretical base of the thesis is developed primarily from Shoshana Felman’s “To open the question,” an editorial introduction to a special issue of Yale French Studies entitled Literature and Psychoanalysis. The Question of Reading: Otherwise and Timothy Clark’s study Derrida, Heidegger, Blanchot.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis challenges the critical codification of John Berryman as a “Confessional” solipsist that has to date excluded his oeuvre from efforts to contextualise historically the mid-century generation of American poets. Its exploration of both the literary and the sociopolitical concerns that have shaped his verse furthers current understanding of the work by placing a new emphasis upon the interdependence of poetic self and public world. Through a chronological survey of Berryman’s published poetry, prose and manuscripts, I demonstrate his fears of marginalisation and the loss of individual agency to represent not an inner but an outward gaze, symptomatic of a wider malaise in post-war American society. Later chapters develop this framework by establishing parallels between the poems’ permeability to the flux of contemporary experience and their ambivalent depictions of Berryman’s growing literary fame. The result, I argue, casts fresh light upon the work as a movement towards a radical metapoetics that figures the persona as the simultaneous product of society and of the text’s public reception. Berryman’s staging of the symbiotic relationship between art and life foregrounds the central function of both self- and sociopolitical critique within his poetry: it highlights the impact of the failed American Dream upon public life and literary ambition. The Introduction provides a detailed outline of the approach and contents of the thesis. Chapter 1 examines the poet’s apprentice work in The Dispossessed and Sonnets to Chris, and relates dissatisfaction with the New Critical literary school to his subsequent discovery of a “new and nervous idiom” for the post-war world. In Chapter 2, I trace the motifs of national and literary expatriation in Berryman’s first long poem Homage to Mistress Bradstreet to discuss the dispossessed poetic “I” as a vehicle for exploration of American tensions past and present. Chapters 3 and 4 present a sustained analysis of Berryman’s epic poem The Dream Songs. Whilst Chapter 3 focuses upon the work’s depiction of American dystopia, Chapter 4 addresses its performance of Berryman’s own literary success, arguing for the later Songs’ origins in an anxiety of reception that desires to cement the poet’s status in an uncertain world. My final chapter reads Berryman’s last volumes Love & Fame and Delusions, etc. of John Berryman in the light of these discussions, suggesting his conflicting perceptions of fame to function as a catalyst for renewed efforts to reconcile the poetic self with wider society.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the early military career and life of Lieutenant General Sir Frank Berryman from 1894 through to the end of his involvement in the Middle East campaigns. It begins with his family background and education on the outskirts of Melbourne before tracing, in detail, his personal life and military career until the end of 1941. The specific focus of this investigation is not just his military education and his role in the Cyrenaica and Syrian campaigns, but also the development of his personality and character. Personality and character provides a window of insight that not only helps to illuminate Berryman?s performance as an officer and his professional relationships but it also allows for a deeper understanding of this complex individual. This thesis argues that these, the 'lost years' and 'forgotten battles' , are integral to developing an understanding of this exceptional officer. In Berryman we see an important staff officer and commander whose place in Australia's military history has been largely overlooked. One of the central themes of this work is that Berryman has been misunderstood and misrepresented within the existing historiography. He was one of the most important figures in the Australian Army during the Second World War and it was during the period covered in this thesis that he established his reputation as a commander and staff officer. Key to this investigation, therefore, is the themes of Berryman's developing leadership and culture of command. This work seeks to reveal the nature and experience of a highly successful officer who is also, to a great extent, representative of a generation of permeant Staff Corps officers who have largely been ignored within the genre of Australian military biography. Ultimately this thesis concludes that Berryman was a central figure in the Australian Army's success in Cyrenaica and Syria. He demonstrated all of the qualities essential for a successful commander and senior officer and it was in these battles and his earlier military and life experiences that set the stage for his exceptional performance and contribution to the success of the Australian Army, not only in the Middle East but also later in the South West Pacific Campaigns.

Abstract:

The thesis focuses on the Maria Montessori's method of religious education, how it has taken root in christian catechesis. The purpose of the Petra Bandhauer thesis is to analyse its principles, to describe its development and the way of reception by the educationalists. To provide a deeper glimpse into the field of the theological anthropology the author compares some of Montessori's opinions, most criticised, with the views of Wolfhart Pannenberg and Karl Rahner. The last aim is to introduce the way of reflection of Montessori religious education in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and in Godly Play, to examine their practice both in Germany and in the Czech Republic and to highlight the potential they have for the spiritual formation of children in the ecumenical christian society.

Berrya ammonilla Roxb. (Tiliaceae) is a large tree, distributed in southern India, Ceylon, Philippines, and Taiwan. The plants of the family Tiliaceae are rich in flavonoids with flavones, flavanones, flavans, and biflavans as the major constituents, some of which have demonstrated cytotoxic and anti-platelet aggregation activities. In our studies on constituents of Formosan plants for in vitro inhibitory activity on neutrophil pro-inflammatory responses, B. ammonilla has been found to be an active species. Five new naphthalenone derivatives, berryammone A (1), berry- ammone B (2), berryammone C (3), 6-O-methylberryammone C (4), and 4-O- methylberryammone C (5) and eleven known compounds (6–16) have been isolated and identified from the stem of B. ammonilla. The structures of above isolates were determined through spectral analyses and comparison of their physical and spectral data with literatures. Among the isolated compounds, berryammone A (1), berryammone B (2), berryammone C (3), 4-O-methylberryammone C (5), (+)-pinoresinol (6), and 3-epi-betulinic acid (12) exhibited inhibition (IC50 values ≤ 1.58 g/mL) of superoxide anion generation by human neutrophils in response to formyl- L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine/cytochalasin B (fMLP/CB). Berry- ammone A (1), berryammone B (2), and 4-O-methylberryammone C (5) also inhibited fMLP/CB-induced elastase release with IC50 values ≤ 1.21 g/mL.
