T.S. Eliot and the music of poetry
No full textThis thesis is a study of T.S. Eliot's poetry in the light of the different ways in which it can be considered 'musical'. Two concerns central to the thesis are: (1) Eliot's enduring interest in the musical quality of poetry; (2) the critical usefulness and viability of drawing analogies between his poetry and music. The thesis considers three important related topics: (1) Eliot's preoccupation with language, its inevitability and its inadequacy; (2) the figure of the seeker in his poetry; (3) his interest in mysticism. The thesis begins by exploring affinities between music and literature in the context of Wagner’s ideal of the 'Gesamtkunstwerk' and its influence on French Symbolist writers. It goes on to trace the development of T.S. Eliot's poetic style as influenced by the French Symbolist poets, by Dante and the mediaeval mystics, and by the music of Wagner, Stravinsky and other composers. Throughout, Eliot's poetry presents variations on the theme of detachment and involvement in relation to the figure of the seeker: consciousness is most engaged and challenged when it journeys. In the early poetry, music serves to emphasize failed relationships: the closer the physical proximity between protagonists, the greater the psychological distance. From The Waste Land on, Eliot makes use of myth and leitmotif to portray consciousness in the role of seeker urged on by the need for meaning. After his conversion to Anglo-Catholicism in 1927, Eliot's characters embark on a journey inward, where music, now "unheard", no longer signifies neurosis and despair, but becomes the only language for the ineffable

Models beyond the Dirichlet process
No full textBayesian nonparametric inference is a relatively young area of research and it has recently undergone a strong development. Most of its success can be explained by the considerable degree of flexibility it ensures in statistical modelling, if compared to parametric alternatives, and by the emergence of new and efficient simulation techniques that make nonparametric models amenable to concrete use in a number of applied statistical problems. Since its introduction in 1973 by T.S. Ferguson, the Dirichlet process has emerged as a cornerstone in Bayesian nonparametrics. Nonetheless, in some cases of interest for statistical applications the Dirichlet process is not an adequate prior choice and alternative nonparametric models need to be devised. In this paper we provide a review of Bayesian nonparametric models that go beyond the Dirichlet process.

T.S. Eliot : a bibliography of T.S. Eliot criticism, 1987-2013
No full textThis bibliography of scholarship related to the writer T.S. Eliot is arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically within each year. This bibliography contains 1624 entries. Select entries have been annotated. Where available, annotations have been taken from the research database and are enclosed in brackets ([ ]). Annotations that have been taken from the works themselves are enclosed by asterisks. Annotations written by the author of this thesis have no special characters to distinguish them from other annotations. An annotated bibliography of Eliot criticism is essential to keep up with the recent resurgence in Eliot studies. The last bibliography published regarding Eliot's works was Sebastian Knowles and Scott A. Leonard's T.S. Eliot: Man and Poet, Volume 2: An Annotated Bibliography of a Decade of T.S. Eliot Criticism, 1977-1986. This new bibliography creates a central location for Eliot research for the years of 1987-2013
Exchangeable Claims Sizes in a Compound Poisson Type Proces
No full textWhen dealing with risk models the typical assumption of independence among claim size distributions is not always satisfied. Here we consider the case when the claim sizes are exchangeable and study the implications when constructing aggregated claims through compound Poisson type processes. In par- ticular, exchangeability is achieved through conditional independence and using parametric and nonparametric measures for the conditioning distribution. A full Bayesian analysis of the proposed model is carried out to illustrate.Bayes nonparametrics, compound Poisson process, exchangeable claim process, exchangeable sequence, risk model.

In search of genius: T.S. Eliot as publisher
No full textThe article discusses about the literary style of the author T.S. Eliot. A systematic examination of T.S. Eliot's interactions as a publisher with almost every aspiring poet of his time is yet to be undertaken. Such an examination would be of interest for two reasons. It would reveal more about the creative and critical principles with which Eliot himself worked and it would give some indication of the manner in which he molded English literary culture by introducing and sponsoring younger poets
