Abstract:

In this study, C. S. Lewis's books, essays, stories, and poems, in addition to biographies and essays written about Lewis, were read in an attempt to understand the relationship between Lewis's spiritual quest and his total health. The spiritual quest is defined as the search for the ultimate truth and meaning of life. For Lewis, who was a Christian, the quest for the Spirit is a journey toward God-Jesus-the Holy Spirit. Health is defined as total experience; the interrelationship of the body, mind, and spirit with all there is, has been, and will be. Health is considered a changing perception

Abstract:

This paper investigates Herman Melville’s quest for spiritual stability and certainty in his novel Moby-Dick. The analysis establishes a philosophical tradition of doubt towards the Bible, outlining the philosophies of Thomas Hobbes, Benedict de Spinoza, David Hume, Thomas Paine and John Henry Newman. This historical survey of spiritual uncertainty establishes the issue of uncertainty that Melville writes about in the nineteenth century. Having assessed the issue of doubt, I then analyze Melville’s use of metaphorical charts, which his characters use to resolve this issue. Finally, I present M

Abstract:

It is well documented that church attendance figures in Great Britain fell consistently throughout the twentieth century and there is little sign of the trend abating at the beginning of the twenty-first century. There are scholars who argue that this decline in traditional religiosity has been accompanied by diverse expressions of alternative spiritualitites. This study explores and maps the contemporary quest for spirituality through an examination of the visitors to St Davids Cathedral in West Wales, the birthplace and home of the patron saint of Wales, St David. Within this context, four a

Abstract:

Thomas Merton throughout his autobiographical writings took some of the dominant images and metaphors from the Christian tradition and, as many writers have done previously, applied them to himself, reinterpreting them for the twentieth century. This dissertation examines the metaphors Merton used to describe his spiritual quest and places his writings within the category of autobiographer that James Olney defines as a theoretical or auto-autobiographer thus providing a new way of interpreting Merton's writings. This dissertation examines Merton's major autobiographical works, some of which ar

Abstract:

Thanks, in part, to critical studies like Sandra Gilbert & Susan Gubar's The Madwoman in the Attic and Patricia Beer's Reader, I Married Him, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte has come to be regarded as the standard feminist text; that is, when someone wants to demonstrate a particular principle of feminist criticism or a traditionally feminine concern, she generally points to Jane Eyre. As critics like Gilbert and Gubar have shown us, Bronte's novel is not merely a Gothic romance; it reveals a feminine consciousness struggling to assert itself within the nineteenth-century patriarchal social and

Abstract:

The Medieval English dream vision evidence influences from a variety of earlier vision literature, notably the apocalyptic vision and narrative dream. Philosophical visions by Plato, Cicero and Boethius, and Christian revelations of John and Paul contain traits that found their way into the dream poems by Langland, the Pearl poet and Chaucer. The Norwegian ballad Draumkvedet exhibits features that mirror these English visions. Notable characteristics pertaining to the character of the dreamer, the interplay between dreamer and dream, imagery of the vision, and structure, point to a commo

Abstract:

Michel Tournier est l’une des grandes figures du roman français contemporain. Son œuvre est remarquable à la fois par sa dimension philosophique et par sa dimension mythique. Nous constatons que des thèmes regroupés sous l’angle philosophique et mythique comme l’ogre, le double, l’inversion sont bel et bien analysés en France. Notre recherche développera donc une philosophie de la vie ou de l’existence humaine sur le bonheur, en exploitant des thèmes récurrents chez Tournier, le voyage, la solitude, le bonheur, etc. L'image du départ est source de réflexions dans la plupart des romans de Tourn

Especially, Dietary Prose describes the memories of taste buds, and the interactive relationship needs to be generated from dimensional field, psychological and phenomenological universal expression. In order to hypostatize the spatial seeking beneath original memory and primitive lack in Dietary Prose and analyze the need of love and sense of security between

My thesis, the novel ‘The Golden Milkmaid’ and its exegesis, comprise an original contribution to knowledge in that it is the practice-led research of a female Gaudiya writer analysing the process of writing bhakti (devotion to divinity) from within the academy. Gaudiya Vaishnavism is a significant strand of Hinduism liked in India, among the Indian diaspora, and beyond the Indian demograph globally. Yet inevitably, Gaudiya practice, process and aesthetics are being altered during transmission and now, time-honoured the traditions have become vanishingly rare. My work is a written record from

Il s’agit plutôt de la manière par laquelle l’écrit forme un chemin pour que cette quête spirituelle s’oriente à travers l’œuvre, à travers la création de l’œuvre.

This research was stimulated by pastoral concerns pertaining to the South African Hindu Community. It was found that the community had a noticeable number of individuals stagnant or stranded at the level of gross spirituality. On the other hand it is known that the primary texts of Hinduism and its long mystical traditions, from the Vedic Period to the Neo-Vedanta Movement, had adequate motivational and goal-orientated material to address this challenge.

Through the analysis of his novels, including On the Road, The Dharma Bums, Desolation Angels, Lonesome Traveler, and Big Sur, the thesis identifies some of the recurrent themes associated with the motif of journey and further interprets them in the co
