Thomas Hood : Poet, Social Thinker, Comedian, Ernest W. Mooney Jr Jun 1947

Thomas Hood : Poet, Social Thinker, Comedian, Ernest W. Mooney Jr

Master's Theses

Although Thomas Hood lived an uneventful and somewhat undramatic life, it was not entirely fruitless.

My purpose in making this study has been to ascertain the degree to which the authors are reflecting in the novels …
