Abstract

To better accomplish my objective--to show form in Wolfe's novels--I have related form to the portrayal of loneliness because loneliness is the central theme of the novels. In other words, I have attempted to show how he modified his style to reflect the mood of loneliness. These modifications are shown in terms of plot structure, plot rhythms, and the resolving forces. Within the resolving forces, I have sub-divided resolution into resolvement by time, philosophical resolvement, and poetical resolvement. The terms used throughout the study are either my own or those of E.M. Forster's book Aspects Of The Novel, and, so that there would be no confusion, I have defined each of the terms as it appears.
