The Vox Populi Is The Vox Dei: American Localism And The Mormon Expulsion From Jackson County, Missouri, Matthew Lund
The Vox Populi Is The Vox Dei: American Localism And The Mormon Expulsion From Jackson County, Missouri, Matthew Lund
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In 1833, enraged vigilantes expelled 1,200 Mormons from Jackson County, Missouri, setting a precedent for a later expulsion of Mormons from the state, changing the course of Mormon history, and enacting in microcosm a battle over the ultimate source of authority in America's early democratic society. This study will reexamine the motives that induced Missourians to expel Mormons from Jackson County and explore how government authorities responded to the conflict. Past studies contend that Mormon communalism collided with the Jacksonian individualism of Missouri residents, causing hostility and violence. However, recent studies have questioned many of the conventional notions of law …

English Faculty Publications
The antebellum West was a hotbed of literary activism. Western presses published more than one hundred local newspapers and literary magazines from the late 1820s through the 1850s. Cities such as Vidalia, Lexington, Marietta, New Orleans, and Cincinnati were thriving literary centers, boasting numerous bookshops, libraries, theaters, and literary societies, including the Semi-Colon and Buckeye clubs of Cincinnati, where members exhibited their western pride by discussing the work of local authors while drinking beverages from buckeye bowls.1 The “West” at this time was located much closer east and south than the West we know today. It encompassed, roughly, the …

Fernán Caballero’S Lessons For Ladies: Female Agency And The Modeling Of Proper Womanhood In Clemencia, Leslie Kaiura
Fernán Caballero’S Lessons For Ladies: Female Agency And The Modeling Of Proper Womanhood In Clemencia, Leslie Kaiura
Decimonónica
According to Lou Charnon-Deutsch, the Spanish domestic novel began in earnest with the works of Fernán Caballero (1796–1877), many of which were written as early as the 1830s but were not published until the late 1840s and 1850s (19). Helen Waite Papashvily, one of the pioneering critics of the domestic novel in the United States, defines such novels as tales of “contemporary domestic life, ostensibly sentimental in tone and with few exceptions almost always written by women for women” (xv). As a group, these novels tend to conform to the gender paradigms of their day, although critics such as Elaine …
