From the Paper
"Masters' and Johnson's Human Sexual Inadequacy is a cumulative descriptive account of the operation of the clinic for the treatment of human sexual dysfunction at the Washington University School of Medicine since 1959 and its continuation at the Reproductive Biology Research Foundation after 1964. The authors report in detail on the development of their therapeutic format and then discuss the evolution of therapeutic approaches to a dozen of the major types of sexual dysfunction presented by patients. Both parts of the book are written in a direct, clinical--but forcefully clear--manner that is free of therapeutic jargon. This makes the volume as much an invaluable handbook as an introductory text. It is also, however, an important historical document since it is a record of the emergence of the original, and the most influential, model for ..."

Abstract
Masters' and Johnson's Human Sexual Response is a report on the authors' long-term study of the anatomy and physiology of human sexual response conducted during the years 1954-66.

"Masters' and Johnson's Human Sexual Response is a report on the authors' long-term study of the anatomy and physiology of human sexual response conducted during the years 1954-66. The authors' preface briefly addresses the climate of fear and suspicion that had surrounded all previous attempts at such investigation and deplores the lack of a supportive response from the biological or psychological science communities for projects of this type. Their study, limited in this volume to the clinical examination of the nature of sexual response, is presented as "a first step toward an open-door policy" and future research based in "investigative objectivity" (vii). It follows from the initial investigations of sexual behavior conducted by Kinsey from 1938 to 1952 which, as the authors note, did include questions of physiology and anatomy. In order to achieve ..."

Poems by William Carlos Williams, 2005.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poems "The Young Housewife" and "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams, which reflect domestic desire and the problems of intimacy that lie hidden within American suburbia. The author points out that Williams shows an abstracted form of simile, allusion and symbolism to reflect the frustrations of couples trying to live with each other in divided homes. The paper contends that, by actively revealing his own lack of sexual fulfillment, Williams is able to convey these messages in these simply written, yet cryptic poems.
From the Paper
"This poetical analysis explores the theme of domestic desire within the two poems: "The Young Housewife" and "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. By revealing William's poetry related to domestic desire through simile, allusions and symbolism, one can learn why these two poems reflect isolation and the romantic problems within 20th century American suburbia. In understanding William's poems through the theme of domestic desire, one can assume unfulfilled sexual and romantic energies that reside within his verse. The poem "The Young Housewife" reflects the barriers and sexuality of the suburbs in the way that Williams present both the woman and the doctor in the poem."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in his short story, "The Use of Force", William Carlos Williams examines the justifiable application of physical force. The author points out that all of the doctor's respect appears to go to Mathilda, the "damned little brat", who had the spunk and courage to resist him all along. The paper concludes that even an apparently mild-mannered country doctor can enjoy the passionate feeling of having a strong opponent and admire the resistance.
From the Paper
"The narrator inquires about a sore throat and both parents explain that the child says "her throat don't hurt her." The slightly exasperated doctor wonders if they have actually looked and discovers that they have not. Mathilda will not cooperate, though, and the doctor tries to reason with her. Attempting lamely to help, the mother says, "Come on, do what he tells you to, he won't hurt you." The doctor is disgusted that the mother used the word "hurt" and he says "I ground my teeth in disgust" at the parents bungling attempts."

William Carlos Williams' Poem "The Red Wheelbarrow", 2006.
The paper describes the way William Carlos Williams' poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" uses a simple battery of devices and basic vocabulary to convey a multitude of thoughts and images.

Abstract
This paper explains that William Carlos William, in his poem "The Red Wheelbarrow", utilizes imagery, symbolism, simplistic structures and a free form style to illustrate the meaning of the poem in both a literal and metaphorical sense. The author points out that the meaning behind the picture created by this poem is left up to the reader to discover by looking for patterns in a deceptively simple sentence. The author underscores that, through these patterns, the readers rediscover the beauty in a simple wheelbarrow, a simple sentence and a simple poem. The paper concludes that the plain red wheelbarrow glistens by the end of the poem, in the calm following a storm, like the reader's glow of excitement after unraveling the mystery of the scene.
From the Paper
"The structure of the poem is perhaps the most interesting characteristic of it. The simple vernacular is underscored by the structure. Because the sentence is broken into four stanzas, the reader is forced to go line by line, scrutinizing each syllable, looking for meaning. Each word was carefully chosen and packs a punch, as was the author's intention. There are relatively few words, which causes the reader to notice the author's word choice more than if the poem were longer. Additionally, the pauses between each stanza allow the reader to reevaluate the mental image they are creating, as explained previously."

William Blake and William Wordsworth, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines how William Blake and William Wordsworth are two authors who effectively incorporate the issues of their time into their poetry. It looks at how social problems and the dilemma of moral responsibility in society are integrated into poems such as Blake's "Holy Thursday" poems, "London," and "The Chimney Sweeper," as well as Wordsworth's "London" and "We are Seven." It also discusses how a popular theme for Blake and Wordsworth within their works is to take notice of the problems within society, questioning what is commonly accepted for their time period.
From the Paper
"Blake's "Holy Thursday" poems are very interesting because each one captures the same day in a different light. It helps the reader to get an idea of the condition of both the people and the Church. The first "Holy Thursday" poem seems to capture the positive light of the ceremony, noting the children with the "innocent faces clean." Blake captures the innocence of these children being led by their parish officers, describing the children as "thousands of little boys and girls raising their innocent hands." While Blake uses the idea of innocence, he also could be suggesting ignorance. In his time, many of the poor children had no choice but to follow the Church. Blake describes the children in a pure and innocent way, yet also unknowing, like a flock of sheep. "

From the Paper
"Critics have characterized William Carlos Williams? short stories as ?terribly real?, exhibiting both ?bitterness and compassion.? Kenneth Rexroth gets closer to the matter, categorizing the stories as ?the completely realized real.? The stories depict a antinomic reality, he suggests, consisting of a combative coexistence between what is immediately apprehensible and a force lying ?behind the colored faces of phenomena.?:

"Sexual Harassment and Sexual Revictimization
Background to the Study
Over the last two decades, research studies have documented significant rates of child sexual abuse among both female and male children. Estimates for female children under the age of 18 who have experienced at least one incident of abuse ranges from 1 in 4 to 1 in 2.5 among nonclinical samples (Kohn, 1987; Wyatt, 1985). Estimates for male children are approximately 1 in 8.
There are a number of effects that have been associated with childhood sexual abuse, including psychological, sexual, and interpersonal difficulties (Briere, 1992). One additional problem that has been associated with early abuse is sexual..."

Abstract
From the paper:
Childbirth, the natural process of how we are born, has evolved along with technological advancements to prolong lives, reduce pain, and decrease mortality rates through advancements in technology. William Carlos Williams, born in 1883 in Rutherford, New Jersey, dealt with issues of childbirth through the course of his life as a pediatrician. After becoming a pediatrician in 1910, he practiced medicine there for most of his life, and wrote poems and stories about his life as a country doctor. During the course of his life, society began paying close attention to childbirth as medicine and technology advanced.

From the Paper
"William Carlos Williams, born in 1883 and died in 1963, was a major poet of his generation and one of the leading poets in the movement departing from traditional English practice, but Williams took his own road and tried to impart to his poetry a new substance and a violent new orientation. He began as early as 1912 by asking, "what was the measurable factor in language that can replace metrics as the basis for poetic composition?" For Williams, this question involved the whole essence of poetry:
Since he believed that experience does not objectively exist until it is embodied in language, the nature of that language--its ability to convey actuality without distorting it through the crippling biases of "literary" means--is all-important (Unger 403).
Williams had several concerns that were constant: 1) he wanted to..."

Slaves and Masters, 2005.
An analysis of the differences in perceptions between slaves and masters.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the differences in perceptions under the institution of slavery can be startling, to say the least. The way in which the same event is understood alternately by slaves and by their masters is dramatic. It examines three potential events in an imaginative fashion, suggesting different understandings for both slaves and masters. The events examined include marriage, the death of a master and a slave sale.
From the Paper
"The differences in perceptions under the institution of slavery can be startling, to say the least. The way in which the same event is understood alternately by slaves and by their masters is dramatic. Of course, it would be reductive to imagine that perceptions about events through slavery are monolithic. Individual slaves and individual slave-owners might well have had differing perspectives on the events around them. However, for the sake of this study we can assume that, on average across the whole of the institution in the United States, there were commonly held perceptions that affected the way in which people on both sides of this institution were viewed. This paper will examine three potential events in an imaginative fashion, suggesting different understandings for both slaves and masters. The events examined will include marriage, the death of a master, and a slave sale."

Romanticism in William Blake and Tennessee Williams, 2008.
This paper compares similar themes of romanticism in William Blake's epic poem 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell' to Tennessee Williams' southern drama "A Streetcar Named Desire".

Abstract
This paper explains that the multifaceted romantic movement is ripe with variety and reach with decidedly similar "romantic" characteristics and qualities interwoven throughout otherwise vastly different texts. The author points out that, despite their distinctive literary identities, countries of origin and time frames, William Blake and Tennessee Williams share a place in the artistically and timelessly transcendent Romantic epoch. The paper relates that one of the themes of the romantic movement in William Blake's 1793 poem 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell', which was written against the tumultuous historical backdrop of the American and French Revolution, is the duality of human nature. The author stresses that the Tennessee Williams' 1947 drama "A Streetcar Named Desire", like "Marriage", has the themes of personal confliction and social confinement.
From the Paper
"In addition to an emotional catharsis, Blanche aims for a physical and spiritual purification as well. She bathes excessively in a hot tub despite the sultry July temperature, refusing to be seen without her powder and perfume and "fancy fox fur pieces". She softens the harsh light in her bedroom with a festive Chinese lantern and even refuses to eat unwashed grapes. She demurs to Mitch that she "can't stand a naked light bulb, any more than a rude remark or a vulgar action", all the while deflecting his physical affection under the pretense of remaining refined."

William Godwin's "Caleb Williams", 2004.
An analysis of William Godwin's "Caleb Williams" and how, though it may be read as an innocent murder mystery novel, when examined in the context of the author's life, the book is actually an attack on the law.

Abstract
This paper discusses that William Godwin wrote "Caleb Williams" as an attempt to present in a story form the political views, which he wrote about in "Enquiry Concerning Political Justice". The author points out that this novel is a satire on the entire English system of laws and justice. The paper relates that Godwin created a character named Caleb Williams, who gets himself entangled in a battle with the law, to act as the writer's voice. The author states that, to Godwin, laws are created merely with the intent of oppressing the poor and allowing free reign over the social and political situation of the rich. The paper relates that, in this novel, innocents are arrested and found guilty without any proof other than the declaration of their blame by the affluent and dominant socialites. The author maintains that the book infers that the most absurd characteristic of the law is its inflexibility.
From the Paper
"Born to a family of dissenting ministers, Godwin began his life in the church but soon after abandoned his position and, with the advice of a friend, began writing for sustenance and profit. His background in radical dissent helped ease him into the world of 1780s London. At this time, prominent writers and speakers such as Thomas Paine and Mary Wollstonecraft, who he would later marry, were speaking out against the injustices of the established political system. At this time Godwin wrote his "Enquiry Concerning Political Justice" and, soon after, "Caleb Williams", both of which articulate his position which became known as "rational anarchism."
