Mrs. Gaskell's Industrial Novels: Mary Barton And North And South, Yvette D. Marambaud
Master's Theses
Since 1910, when Mrs. Gaskell's centenary was celebrated, few articles have been written about her. Except for her Life of Charlotte Bronte, she is not really well known in America. Few people read her tales or her short stories, and her novels are quite neglected.

Mary Barton was an immediate success - perhaps in part because of the controversies it aroused.

A citizen of the place which was at once the chief heme of the Jewish Dispersion and the chief censer of Hellenistic culture, he owes his position in the history of religious thought which we find in his voluminous writings, to that remarkable fusion of Judaism and Hellenism. He sought to bring harmony …
Kant's Idea Of The Origin Of Evil And Its Influence On Recent Theology, Wade Hamilton Boggs Jr.
Kant's Idea Of The Origin Of Evil And Its Influence On Recent Theology, Wade Hamilton Boggs Jr.
Master's Theses
Our problem is rather clearly and brlefly suggested in the title of this thesis. It is to ascertain and set forth Kant's idea of the origin of evil, and then to trace its influence upon recent theology. The problem is complicated by the act that there are contradictory positions set forth by Kant in different ones of his works. The problem is further complicated by the fact that while certain recent theologians of great contemporary influence have undoubtedly been influenced by Kant, they have been influenced only in certain particulars of their theology and not in others. lt is also …
