O trabalho analisa as possíveis relações intratextuais entre as primeiras quatorze epístolas que formam o corpus das Heroides de Ovídio. Estas relações permitem ao leitor entendêlas não apenas como um mero conjunto de monólogos travestidos em um formato epistolar (Auhagen, 1999, p. 90), mas como peças que ganham significado à luz de outras. As relações surgem em função do caráter exemplar das heroínas, paradigmático de um determinado tipo de comportamento. No diálogo intratextual, a exemplaridade permite a configuração mútua destas mulheres e suas epístolas. Considerando que o próprio Ovídio, no livro 3 da Ars amatoria, recomenda a suas discípulas ler sua coleção de epístolas e que ele se refere a essas mulheres em diferentes ocasiões como exempla do fracasso na ars amandi, o corpus pode ser entendido como uma série de exempla para o leitor, complementares ao propósito didático da Ars amatoria. Em razão da falta de uma ars amandi, a maioria das heroínas fracassam ao tentar convencer seus amantes a voltar. Portanto, o leitor recebe as epístolas como um grande exemplum daquilo que não deve ser feito e como justificativa da necessidade de um praeceptor. A confluência dos gêneros elegíaco e epistolar possibilita que as epístolas sejam um meio apropriado para transmitir um exemplum, por causa do caráter didático de ambos os gêneros. / This research analyses the possible intratextual relation between the first fourteen epistles of Ovids Heroides. These relations allow the reader to understand them not only as unconnected monologues brought together under the form of epistles (Auhagen, 1999, p. 90), but also as collection of poems that have meaning when read in the light of the others. The relations emerge because of the heroines exemplary character, paradigmatic of a certain behavior. In the intratextual dialogue, the exemplarity enables the mutual configuration of the women and their epistles. Considering that Ovid himself, in the third book of his Ars, recommends to read his collection of epistles and that he also refers to these women as exempla of failure in the art of love, the whole collection can be understood as a series of exempla that complement the didactic purpose of the Ars amatoria. Because of their lack of ars amandi, most of the heroines fail in trying to convince their lovers to come back to them. Therefore, the reader receives the epistles as an exemplum of what should not be done and as a justification for the need of a praeceptor. The overlapping of the elegiac and the epistolary genres enables the letter to be an appropriate mean to convey an exemplum, due to the didactic features of both genres.

Sêneca Velho, nas suas Controuersiae (em especial, II 2, 8), revela-nos os possíveis influxos da retórica escolar na obra do poeta. Em nossa análise, demonstramos que a retórica está presente como uma forma de estruturar certas elegias (como as suasoriae) e que também é uma ferramenta útil para nos ajudar a compreender a obra (sobretudo, a relação construída entre auctor/opus/lector). Indicamos a presença de elementos típicos de diversos gêneros como a épica, a comédia, a tragédia e mesmo a poesia jâmbica: Ovídio parece deixar claro que essa "presença" é um fator constitutivo de sua obra. A confluência genérica resultante dessas relações discursivas está mais evidente em poemas programáticos, de cunho metapoético (através do topos da recusatio, por exemplo), mas também não se ausenta por completo das demais elegias. No constructum elegíaco elaborado por Ovídio nos Amores, a persona de seu poetaamante discute poesia enquanto narra as aventuras amorosas com a persona da puella, que se identifica com a própria Elegia (cf. Am. III 1). Nesse sentido, Ovídio nos mostra que, em sua obra de estreia, seu protagonista vive em um universo discursivo construído na pluralidade, no qual experimentar amores (as relações amorosas) proporciona a composição dos Amores (as elegias de temática erótica) / Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to show how, in Loves, Ovid retook and reworked material from several sources to constitute his work. Older Seneca, in his Controuersiae (specially in II 2, 8) reveals the possibility of some influxes from school rethoric on the Ovid's poetry. In our analysis, we indicated that rhetoric is present like a mean of structure some elegies (like suasoriae) and also like a useful tool that helps us to understand the whole work (mainly, the constructed relation among auctor/opus/lector). We also demonstrate the presence of tipicals elements from other genres like epic, commedy, tragedy and even iambic poetry: Ovid seems to reveal that this "presence" is a factor that openly constitute his poetic labour. The generic confluence that results from these discursives relationships is more manifest in programmatic poems, with metapoetical character (through the topos of recusatio, for exemple), but is not missing at all from the others elegies. In this discursive elegiac constructum elaborated by Ovid in the Amores, the poet-lover persona considers about poetry while tell us about his amorous adventures with the puella persona who identify herserf with Elegy (cf. Am. III 1). In this sense, Ovid show us that, in his first work, his protagonist lives in a discursive world based on plurality, in wich experiences in loves (relationships) provides the composition of The Loves (Latin erotic elegy) / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística

Critical comment on Old English elegiac poetry is discussed from the following three standpoints: definition of the genre 'elegy'; interpretations of representative elegiac poems; stylistic analysis. The theories of critics are evaluated, with the aim of establishing the features of elegiac poetry in Old English and assessing the adequacy of critical coverage of them to date. Not many critics have attempted to define the Old English, elegy as a genre, and their definitions tend to be either too vague or too restrictive, needing to be qualified in a number of ways. However, it appears that the elegy in Old English is an abstract kind of poetry. It presents a state of mind rather than a specific person or event. In addition, there are certain recurrent features by which the genre can be defined. The elegy presents the viewpoint of an individual, usually in monologue form. It often contains structural elements which are conventionale. The typical themes of elegy are separation from a loved one, exile, banishment, the contrast between present desolation and past or absent happiness. These themes are associated with conventional descriptions, the recurrent features of which extend to quite small particulars of wording and imagery. Interpretations of the following elegiac poems are discussed: The Seafarer, The Wanderer, The Ruin, The Wife's Lament, The Husband's Message, Wulf and Eadwacer. Critical theories regarding these poems show, by and large, a change from considering them primitive and pagan (sometimes with Christian interpolations) to stressing their sophistication, unity, and essential Christianity. It is, on the whole, a change for the better, but the sophistication and the Christian element now tend to be overemphasised, especially by those critics who interpret the poems as allegories. Present interpretations show two main trends: a tendency to relate the poems to Latin influence, often patristic, and a movement towards closer investigation of the poems by internal evidence alone, without regard to sources and analogues. Stylistic studies have mostly considered Old English poetry as a whole, rather than any particular branch of it, but although the elegies employ the same formal devices as the rest of the poetry, they tend to handle them in a freer and more personal way. Also, the tendency of Old English poetry to use external description with a symbolic purpose is particularly shown in the elegies, which make an extensive use of natural description as a vehicle of mood. There has been a change in stylstic analysis similar to that in interpretation. Instead of regarding Old English poetry as unsophisticated, as earlier scholars tended to do, modern critics stress its subtlety and skilful integration, both structurally and syntactically. This change of attitude has affected criticism of the elegies, although the focus has not usually been specifically on them. The stylistic investigations which have shed most light on the elegy as a type have been the formulaic analyses. Apart from the formulaic studies, there has been little direct stylistic examination of elegiac poetry, and it is here that most remains to be done, as regards both formal devices and the looser patterns of imagery and description. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

Ernst Krenek is noted and often criticized for the diversity of his overall output. However, one finds that his entire output is held together by a unique temperament regardless of stylistic changes. It is significant to compare the piano works to one another as the piano was the instrument he repeatedly turned to while testing new stylistic ideas. In writing about Krenek's music, Glenn Gould states eloquently and concisely that three qualities prevail in all of Krenek's mature output: the lyric, elegiac, and euphonic. These qualities are present in the early Toccata und Chaconne uber den Chorale, "Ja, ich glaub an Jesum Christum," Op. 13. It is lyrical in that melody is of utmost importance. One finds that melodic writing prevails in the other piano works as well regardless of when they were written. The elegiac also permeates the work. The Toccata and Chaconne shares with other later works this quality of seriousness, repose, and deep meaning. The Toccata and Chaconne is also euphonic. Krenek's overall style is one which does not shock or offend an audience. In a detailed comparison of the Toccata and Chaconne to later piano works, one may clearly see what Krenek specifically does musically to create this sense of the lyric, elegiac and euphonic in his overall output.
