Milton's Religious Attitude In Samson Agonistes., Milton Gerald Miller
Milton's Religious Attitude In Samson Agonistes., Milton Gerald Miller
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The criticism of Milton's Samson Agonistes has generally centered about interpretation of its autobiographical content and the interpretation of its classical form. The aim of this thesis is to show the relation of the inner, psychological form to the Puritan tradition. The biblical story from which Samson was derived, Judges 13-16, offers little to the scholar in understanding the psychological impetus of Samson. It is mainly a treatment of a pagan narrative demonstrating the snares inherent in trusting a woman with secrets. Samson finally regains his strength and pulls down the temple at Gaza and the narrative ends.
Kentucky Autobiography And Kentucky Culture., William F. Keirce
Kentucky Autobiography And Kentucky Culture., William F. Keirce
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to trace the historical development of autobiographical writing in Kentucky; to analyze the literary and philosophical characteristics of these works and, by this means, to divide these writings into several categories; and, finally, to reveal by an interpretation of these autobiographies, certain cultural aspects of Kentucky life and society. As thus stated, the intentions of this study are several; but, actually, all these aims are inseparably related part. of a single general problem which is to investigate Kentucky autobiographical writing as a whole in order to better understand the individual works in that literature.
The Poet At War., E. R. Hagemann
The Poet At War., E. R. Hagemann
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The artist, whether he was novelist, poet, painter or essayist, was caught in the maelstrom of violence and destruction that was World War I. Conscription was employed in most nations participating in the War and the artist, with his accurate, discerning eye and his sensitivity, was destined to report the War as he actually saw it unfold before him. A great part of the creative activity these artists engaged in was an analysis and reportage of the years from 1914, to 1918. Before the Armistice had been signed on November 11, 1918, Henri Barbusse had published his indictment of war, …

The History Of The Government Of The City Of Louisville., Attia Martha Bowmer

It is concerned primarily with the type of government, the sources and extent of its power, and its legislative history. The details of municipal functions and administration are outside the scope of this writing except as they relate, generally or specifically, to the development of the general framework of the city government …
The Problem Of Conscription In Maine During The Civil War, Murray Bowden
The Problem Of Conscription In Maine During The Civil War, Murray Bowden
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The problem of enforcing conscription in the Northern States during the Civil War was an exceedingly difficult one. The American people abhorred the idea of compulsory military service. The draft laws were formulated to favor the wealthy class at the expense of the poor. This aroused the wrath of the poorer classes. At first, the enforcement of the laws was left to the states, but in 1863, control was transferred to a branch of the War Department, resulting in more efficient administration. Immediately after the Conscription Act of 1863 was passed, riots broke out in Boston, New York and the …

Significant Modern Interpretations Of Joan Of Arc., Virginia Quarrier Wynn
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Five hundred years have passed, and Joan remains a living breathing presence, when those others of her day have become little more than names, a museum of labelled shadows. What is the explanation of this continued interest in a young girl who lived for only nineteen short years in the first part of the fifteenth century? Before attempting to answer this question, let us briefly summarize the facts of her life: she was born, it is believed, on January 6, 1412 in Domremy, a small town in north-eastern France. There, at the age of thirteen, she first heard voices and …
