An Evaluation Of The Autobiographical Interpretation Of Samson Agonistes, Edward P. Crockett
An Evaluation Of The Autobiographical Interpretation Of Samson Agonistes, Edward P. Crockett
Master's Theses
Certainly, every reader of Samson Agonistes who is at all familiar with the circumstances of Milton's life, his thought, and the history of his times has been attracted by obvious parallels between 'the poet and certain aspects or his dramatic creation, and he may understandably assume that the presentation or the sufferings of Samson constitute intentional, hidden autobiography. To assume even the obvious, however, is something too blithely done. A little research into this area of Miltoniana will reveal to him that scholarly opinion concerning Samson Agonistes and autobiography is greatly varied and that some scholars are inclined not only …
A History Of The Department Of Legal Medicine At Medical College Of Virginia, Mary A. Giunta
A History Of The Department Of Legal Medicine At Medical College Of Virginia, Mary A. Giunta
Master's Theses
Legal medicine can be defined as "the aoience of the application of medical knowledge to the purposes of the law." Therefore, its limits are on the one hand the requirements of the laws and on the other the whole range of medicine, that is to say, anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, medicine, surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, and all the sciences auxiliary thereto, that is, chemistry, physics, botany, et cetera; all lend their aid when necessity arises and in the same case to enable a court of law to arrive at a proper conclusion on a contested question affecting life or property."

The Theatre Of The Absurd, Edith Beirne Brooks
The Theatre Of The Absurd, Edith Beirne Brooks
Master's Theses
An introduction to the Theatre of the Absurd confronts the viewer with a meaningless, chaotic situation. Ludicrous people mouth meaningless dialogue, and the "plot" seems to move in ever diminishing concentric circles. One is stunned by the nothingness and the void which accompanies the termination of stage action. Why was it written? What was the author trying to convey? These are questions which fill the minds of the audience. The purpose was not monetary, nor was it sensationalism, because both of these could be achieved in a more expedient manner. Thoughtful study and exploration are demanded to answer one's questions …

The Virginia Executive Budget, Charles William Wyatt Iii
The Virginia Executive Budget, Charles William Wyatt Iii
Master's Theses
Virginia, like the other states in our union, was without any set form of budget during its first century of existence. This was partly because there was no definite need for any governmental reform in this area until the twentieth century brought about an expansion of the powers and responsibilities of governments. The states relied on the general property tax for the bulk of their revenue and its return was relatively certain and constant. It enabled a legislature to accurately judge its yield and match this yield to what was needed by an easy adaptation of the rate of taxation. …

The Problem Of Satan In Milton's Paradise Lost, Jeanne Saunders
The Problem Of Satan In Milton's Paradise Lost, Jeanne Saunders
Master's Theses
By 1641 John Milton had prepared a rather detailed outline for a tragic drama, Adam Unparadised. The design was to take form and grow, not as a religious drama, but as a magnificent epic poem which would "assert Eternal Providence,/And justify the ways of God to men" (I.25-26). In the original design for the drama the character and person of Satan did not constitute a basis for sustained interest. However, when Paradise Lost was finished in 1665, this was no longer the case; Satan, as an historical figure treated by the poetic and religious imagination of Milton, emerged as one …
Rhetorical Patterns In The Poetry Of Andrew Marvell, Elizabeth Hughes Pole
Rhetorical Patterns In The Poetry Of Andrew Marvell, Elizabeth Hughes Pole
Master's Theses
The two-fold insight that derives from this study is, on the one hand, the increased understanding of Marvell's use of language in both early and late poems and, on the other, the increased understanding of the rhetorical movements. The reader of Marvell's poems is possessed of a sensitivity to his poetry that is based on an awareness of his rhetoric as idiosyncratic and as reflective of the habits of the age.
Thomas Staples Martin : His Senatorial Career, Ernest Scott Strother
Thomas Staples Martin : His Senatorial Career, Ernest Scott Strother
Master's Theses
The Democratic party and the combined Republican and Readjuster parties were approximately equal in strength in Virginia in the 1880's, the elections being won by majorities or a few thousand votes. By 1890, however, the Democratic party was in command of most branches of' the government and appeared determined to perpetuate itself in power, In the years following 1890 there arose a relatively latent political figure who, through the powerful Democratic organization and with the able assistance of his lieutenants, influenced the political affairs of Virginia to such an extent that opposition offered only token resistance. From the time he …
