Amoral Characters Beyond Good And Evil In The Nineteenth Century French Novel, Basil Mcvoy Duncan
Amoral Characters Beyond Good And Evil In The Nineteenth Century French Novel, Basil Mcvoy Duncan
Master's Theses
Although Franch literature is unique in that every period presents interesting material for research, perhaps the most fascinating is that period which involves the Revolution, Empire, and Restoration. The very proximity of these political developments has had a profound effect on the novelists who lived and wrote at this time, and they have not failed to bequeath their observations on the resulting society. These observations naturally include many consequences not recorded by the historians, consequences which they also as individuals have experienced.
Important among these novelists are Benjamin Constant Stendhal Honore de Balzac, and Paul Bourget who not only reveal …

A Study Of The Moral Tone Of Restoration Comedy, Herbert Robinson Blackwell
A Study Of The Moral Tone Of Restoration Comedy, Herbert Robinson Blackwell
Master's Theses
The so called "Restoration period" in English literature stands as an age of comic production that ranks as one of the most brilliant in the history of the English stage, second perhaps only to the preceding Elizabethan period. Restoration comedy has been famed for its indecency and immorality, and critical Judgment has always been influenced by concern over the "excesses" which the playwrights introduced into their works.
Morality is a relative term. What is sinful in one age is commonly accepted in another. Semantic differences may cause different moral connotations to be placed on certain words. Thus, in considering whether …
Virginia And The Mexican War, Judith Fauquier Napps
Virginia And The Mexican War, Judith Fauquier Napps
Master's Theses
Virginia's initial response to the news of the war was the patriotic reply of all citizens when the national flag is attacked. Within a few days, however, the party strife over the origin of the war and the fight for the political pie to be gained at its conclusion began. The state at this time, and the resulting political maneuvering thwarted a more active support of the war.

Religion In The Life And Works Of Longfellow, Morris Edward Cather
Religion In The Life And Works Of Longfellow, Morris Edward Cather
Master's Theses
An author's work is generally colored by the presence or the lack of religious convictions. The poetry and prose of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow indicate a deep-seated faith in God. Although this faith is most clearly manifested in the works of the man, its source is found in the life and character of the poet himself. It is the aim of this paper to discover the various contributing factors, to ascertain their effect upon the poet and his writings, and to draw certain conclusions concerning his religious faith.
Theatrical Criticism Of Addison And Steele, Virginia Marion Lewis
Theatrical Criticism Of Addison And Steele, Virginia Marion Lewis
Master's Theses
The purpose of this paper in to bring together in one body all, or as many as possible, of the references made by Addison and Steele to the theater in The Tatler, The Spectator, and Tho Guardian. In order to do this, it has been necessary to scan all of the papers included in these three periodicals to find those which contained a mention of the theater, for only rarely did Addison or Steele devote an entire paper to any one subject. It is hoped, therefore, that in going through these essays no significant comments on the theater have been …

The Rise Of Hitler As Interpreted By Selected American Newspapers, 1930-1936, Edward Walton Trice
The Rise Of Hitler As Interpreted By Selected American Newspapers, 1930-1936, Edward Walton Trice
Master's Theses
The following thesis offers an impression of American opinion toward specific events relating to the rise of Nazi Germany through an analysis of selected newspaper editorials and articles. While the direct influence of public opinion upon foreign policy can rarely be documented, there seems to be a general agreement that an "intimate" relationship does exist between the two. This interdependence ultimately generates a form of symbiosis, which permits an examination of one of these areas to lend insight into the other.
Fundamentally, the relationship between our political leaders, the press, and the general public has always been one of interaction. …
