The Classical Background As A Factor In The Spiritual Development Of Walter Pater’S ‘Marius The Epicurean’, Margaret Harris Jan 1934

The Classical Background As A Factor In The Spiritual Development Of Walter Pater’S ‘Marius The Epicurean’, Margaret Harris

Graduate Thesis Collection

A study of Walter Pater's work reveals the fact that from childhood he was actuated by an instinctive love of beauty apprehended through the senses and by an innate seriousness bordering almost on melancholy.


The Influence Of The Greek Drama Upon Eugene O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra", Nancy Moore Jan 1934

The Influence Of The Greek Drama Upon Eugene O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra", Nancy Moore

Graduate Thesis Collection

In his "Mounring Becomes Electra", Eugene O'Neill has taken a great and renowed classical theme and has given it a modern interpretation in the light of his interest in Freudian psychology. In this thesis I have tried to show first the chief details in connection with the Orestea theme as it is given to us by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. I have then analyzed the characters in the Greek dramas since Eugene O'Neill's primary interest in his character.


A Comparative View Of The Evidence For The Place Of Composition Of The Imprisonment Epistles Of The Apostle Paul, E. Robert Andry Jan 1934

A Comparative View Of The Evidence For The Place Of Composition Of The Imprisonment Epistles Of The Apostle Paul, E. Robert Andry

Graduate Thesis Collection

It is the position of the writer that the imprisonment epistles of Paul were written by the apostle some time during his three year stay in Ephesus. Though this view is comparatively new and has few adherents among New Testament students, yet in recent years it has been gaining more and more consideration and appreciation among those who critically study the situation.


The Treatment Of Nature In The Poetry Of Coleridge, Esther S. Brenton Jan 1934

The Treatment Of Nature In The Poetry Of Coleridge, Esther S. Brenton

Graduate Thesis Collection

The treatment of nature by the English Romantic poets of the nineteenth century is commonly thought to be confined to the poetry of Wordsworth. Although the bulk of Wordsworth's poetry is concerned with nature, a study of the poetry of the period reveals that the other great Romanticists were also interested in nature. This thesis is written to show how great a factor the treatment of nature is in the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.


The Law Of Pardon For Sin As Reflected In The Records Of The New Testament, Charles V. Jones Jan 1934

The Law Of Pardon For Sin As Reflected In The Records Of The New Testament, Charles V. Jones

Graduate Thesis Collection

The following is an attempt to make an unbiased search in the records of the New Testament to determine, if possible, the order of the steps to be taken by a person seeking pardon for sin. No attempt is being made to substantiate any preconceived theory. The study was prompted by a desire to settle in my own mind, by an unprejudiced search through the records, the question concerning the Law of Pardon to which I had heard many varying answers.


The Evolution Of Schiller's Thought On Freedom And Patriotism, With Special Reference To "Die Rauber", "Don Carlos", And "Wilhelm Tell", Charles B. Seal Jan 1934

The Evolution Of Schiller's Thought On Freedom And Patriotism, With Special Reference To "Die Rauber", "Don Carlos", And "Wilhelm Tell", Charles B. Seal

Graduate Thesis Collection

I have chosen the topic, "The Evolution of Schiller's Thought on Freedom and Patriotism", with special reference to "Die Rauber", "Don Carlos", and "Wilhelm Tell", because it seems to me to represent one of the most significant and basic phases of the general philosophy of Germany's greatest dramatist. According to consensus of critical opinion, it was Schiller's ardent love of freedom which motivated practically all of his plays. In the actual world about him, in the society of his times, he found little that seemed to him to make for his ideal of inner harmony.


Philosophical Mysticism As Epistemological Method, Glenn Negley Jan 1934

Philosophical Mysticism As Epistemological Method, Glenn Negley

Graduate Thesis Collection

The general problem of the definition of mysticism may be approached in either of two ways. We might assemble the elements of all types and method of mysticism, and, by the use of the critical method, arrive thereby at a description and definition of the mystical experience in its most general sense; or we might develop a restricted, specific definition by ignoring certain aspects of that type of experience which might, in a broad, general sense, be called mystical.
