我上大学的时候，我主修文学研究(世界文学)，现在,我想专注于英美文学的研究。
我特别感兴趣的文学部分是：19世纪文学,女性主义文学,盎格鲁-撒克逊诗歌、民间传说和民间文学。我个人所涉猎的文学项目可以说是这些学科的结合。综合考试的口语部分,我专门研究19世纪的小说，特别是女性主义题材。“高雅文学”和民间文学之间的关系成为我论文研究的主要方向。我研究了托妮·莫里森古典音乐的应用，研究了圣经,以及她的小说中所体现的非洲和美国黑人民间传统。我计划进一步深化我论文的研究，关注于莫里森的其他小说,或许在适当的时候发表一篇论文。
在我攻读博士学位的时候,我希望更密切地检查高雅文学与民间文学之间的关系。我大三的时候，对盎格鲁-撒克逊语言和文学进行了相关的研究，使我开始关注于民间传说,民间文学,文学和高雅文学之间的关系。因此，我想要进入你的学校,我想恢复我对盎格鲁-撒克逊诗歌的研究,特别关注其民间元素。
Having majored in literary studies (world literature) as an undergraduate, I would now like to concentrate on English and American literature.
I am especially interested in nineteenth-century literature, women's literature, Anglo-Saxon poetry, and folklore and folk literature. My personal literary projects have involved some combination of these subjects. For the oral section of my comprehensive exams, I specialized in nineteenth century novels by and about women. The relationship between "high" and folk literature became the subject for my honors essay, which examined Toni Morrison's use of classical, biblical, African, and Afro-American folk tradition in her novel. I plan to work further on this essay, treating Morrison's other novels and perhaps preparing a paper suitable for publication.
In my studies toward a doctoral degree, I hope to examine more closely the relationship between high and folk literature. My junior year and private studies of Anglo-Saxon language and literature have caused me to consider the question of where the divisions between folklore, folk literature, and high literature lie. Should I attend your school, I would like to resume my studies of Anglo-Saxon poetry, with special attention to its folk elements.
Writing poetry also figures prominently in my academic and professional goals. I have just begun submitting to the smaller journals with some success and am gradually building a working manuscript for a collection. The dominant theme of this collection relies on poems that draw from classical, biblical, and folk traditions, as well as everyday experience, in order to celebrate the process of giving and taking life, whether literal or figurative. My poetry draws from and influences my academic studies. Much of what I read and study finds a place in my creative work as subject. At the same time, I study the art of literature by taking part in the creative process, experimenting with the tools used by other authors in the past. In terms of a career, I see myself teaching literature, writing criticism, and going into editing or publishing poetry. Doctoral studies would be valuable to me in several ways. First, your teaching assistant ship program would provide me with the practical teaching experience I am eager to acquire. Further, earning a Ph.D. in English and American literature would advance my other two career goals by adding to my skills, both critical and creative, in working with language. Ultimately, however, I see the Ph.D. as an end in itself, as well as a professional stepping stone; I enjoy studying literature for its own sake and would like to continue my studies on the level demanded by the Ph.D. program. |
