Methodist Circuit-Riders In America, 1766-1844, William A. Powell Jr.
Methodist Circuit-Riders In America, 1766-1844, William A. Powell Jr.
Master's Theses
The Methodist Episcopal Church became the largest religious denomination in the United States during the 1820's. Local expressions of the national body were established in nearly every American community. Methodist expansion was largely a result of the activity of circuitriders. These itinerants traveled and proclaimed the gospel to citizens, many of whom joined the Church and became part of a religious movement which influenced the l development of culture in the United States.
The traveling minister in the Methodist Church was noted for his self-sacrificing spirit. He endured hardships in the ministry which few men of the present age can …

The Spirit Mercurius Of Rabelais, Dorothy S. Wyatt
Master's Theses

To broach a study of this type implies an overlap of psychoanalytical theory and critical literary theory. This study is being done in order to ascertain the conscious and subconscious influence of the author.

The Relationship Of The Protestant Episcopal Church In Virginia With The Negro Slaves 1830 To 1860: Success Or Failure?, Elisabeth Evans Wray
Master's Theses
Some conclusions may be drawn as to the success—or failure--of the Church's relationship with the slaves in nineteenth-century Virginia by constructing a narrative of the general attitudes held by the Episcopal Church (the bishops and other clergy and the laity) and the actions resulting from them. The years from 1830 to 1860 are the most fruitful period of the century in revealing through sermons, letters, newspapers, and books the Church's ideas concerning the institution of religious instruction for the slaves and their place in the life of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Virginia. Because many of the attitudes …

Modernization In The Virginia General Assembly : The Commission On The Legislative Process 1972-73, Richard Kirk Jonas
Master's Theses
Of the forces which led to institutional modernization in the Virginia General Assembly in the early 1970's, the Commission on the Legislative Process was one of the most significant. The Commission focused its attention on those administrative, managerial and structural problems which were among the most significant impedi ments to the Assembly's efficient operation. In the administrative and managerial areas the Commission had great success. Administrative improvements in staff support were especially significant. Staff support was recommended and subsequently approved for individual legislators, standing committees and the Assembly as a whole.

Antithesis And Reconciliation In W. B. Yeats' "Under Ben Bulben", Cary Albert Mcbean
Antithesis And Reconciliation In W. B. Yeats' "Under Ben Bulben", Cary Albert Mcbean
Master's Theses
An investigation of the life and writings of William Butler Yeats reveals a man extremely sensitive to antithesis in human experience. This sensitivity, it is seen, greatly influenced the course of his life, inciting him to seek harmony or reconciliation of the perceived antithesis. As one would expect, Yeats' writings reflect this life struggle. Much of his prose is colored by expressions such as "contraries," "antinomies," or "consciousness is conflict," while the poetry often deals with the course between "extremities" or "eternities." A study of his works is, to an extent, necessarily a study of opposition and reconciliation.
