Rube Tube : Cbs, Rural Sitcoms, And The Image Of The South, 1957-1971, Sara K. Eskridge
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation examines the factors that led to the creation of the CBS rural comedy boom in the 1960s, as well as the reasons for its demise. For years, historians have dismissed the rural comedy craze as the networks catering to the growing number of southern viewers in the late 1950s. However, there were not enough to southern viewers to dictate a network’s entire programming schedule for the better part of a decade. Also, rural comedy was the domain of a single network, CBS. Had it really been a major thematic trend, all networks would have at least attempted to …
Two Histories, One Future : Louisiana Sugar Planters, Their Slaves, And The Anglo-Creole Schism, 1815-1865, Nathan Buman
Two Histories, One Future : Louisiana Sugar Planters, Their Slaves, And The Anglo-Creole Schism, 1815-1865, Nathan Buman
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
During the five decades between the War of 1812 and the end of the Civil War, southern Louisianans developed a society unlike any other region. The vibrant traditional image of moonlight and magnolias, the notion that King Cotton dominated the South’s economy as Anglo-Saxon masters lorded over their enslaves African-American workers still dominates the image of the American South. This image of a monolithic South, however, does not give a clear indication of the many sub-regional distinctions that both challenged and rewarded the inhabitants of those areas and provides exciting ways to understand slaveholding society culturally. Louisiana’s slaveholding class consisted …
Queenship, Intrigue And Blood-Feud: Deciphering The Causes Of The Merovingian Civil Wars, 561-613, Brandon Taylor Craft
Queenship, Intrigue And Blood-Feud: Deciphering The Causes Of The Merovingian Civil Wars, 561-613, Brandon Taylor Craft
LSU Master's Theses
The Frankish civil wars of AD 561-613 were a series of devastating encounters involving the four sons of Chlothar I and their descendants. While no party was guiltless during this period, modern scholars have tended to focus on two prominent Queens, Brunhild of Austrasia and Fredegund of Neustria, and the possibility of a blood-feud between their two families. King Sigibert of Austrasia married Brunhild because he believed she was worthy of a king, unlike many of the wives his brothers were taking. One of these women was Fredegund, who was married to King Chilperic of Neustria. Fredegund is often blamed …
"A Simple Zeal And Earnest Love To The Truth" : The Religious Journeys Of Catherine Willoughby, Duchess Of Suffolk, And Katherine Parr, Queen Of England, Megan Elizabeth Spruell
"A Simple Zeal And Earnest Love To The Truth" : The Religious Journeys Of Catherine Willoughby, Duchess Of Suffolk, And Katherine Parr, Queen Of England, Megan Elizabeth Spruell
LSU Master's Theses
This study focuses on the religious conversions of Catherine Willoughby, Duchess of Suffolk, and Katherine Parr, Queen of England throughout the English Reformation and attempts to explain why their conversions proceeded at different rates. Both women came from similar backgrounds, yet Parr’s conversion to Evangelicalism occurred much sooner than Willoughby’s. Although Willoughby and Parr’s reformist leanings are well researched, their conversion to the new faith is a topic which deserves further attention. Studying their individual conversions will not only add to the histories of their lives, but to the understanding of why they became such passionate advocates of reform. This …
British Women And Orientalism In The Early Nineteenth Century : A Study Of Mrs. Meer Hassan Ali's "Observations On The Mussulmauns Of India", Katherine Blank
British Women And Orientalism In The Early Nineteenth Century : A Study Of Mrs. Meer Hassan Ali's "Observations On The Mussulmauns Of India", Katherine Blank
LSU Master's Theses
Mrs. Meer Hassan Ali’s book Observations on the Mussulmauns of India stood as a benchmark of British knowledge about Islam in South Asia throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Although Ali’s book was a seminal and highly regarded book, modern intellectual and women’s historians have largely ignored her contribution towards the mainstream perception of Islam in colonial India. Published in 1832, Observations on the Mussulmauns countered many negative stereotypes about Islam that had become common in the works of Indologists by putting forth a new perspective gleaned from Ali’s decade-long stay in India, where she lived with her husband’s family …
Res Voluntaria, Non Necessaria: The Conquest And Forced Conversion Of The Saxons Under Charlemagne, Alexander Scott Dessens
Res Voluntaria, Non Necessaria: The Conquest And Forced Conversion Of The Saxons Under Charlemagne, Alexander Scott Dessens
LSU Master's Theses
This study focuses on Charlemagne’s conquest of Saxony in the late eighth and early ninth centuries and the policies of forced conversion he espoused in his attempts to bring the peoples of these territories to the Christian religion. Often remarked upon is the Carolingian king’s prescription of the death penalty for failure to be baptized, but this development was a logical consequence of contemporary ideology with regard to missionizing. I employ the letters of contemporaries, historical annals, and hagiographical sources to examine how the use of force in missionizing was viewed in this period, and I argue that with regard …
"A Woman For Many Imperfections Intolerable": Anne Stanhope, The Seymour Family, And The Tudor Court, Caroline Elizabeth Armbruster
"A Woman For Many Imperfections Intolerable": Anne Stanhope, The Seymour Family, And The Tudor Court, Caroline Elizabeth Armbruster
LSU Master's Theses
This study analyzes the life and historical image of Anne Stanhope, Duchess of Somerset. Anne lived throughout most of the Tudor period (1510-1587). Throughout her long life, she rose from a mere lady in waiting to a duchess and wife of the Lord Protector. When her first husband, Edward Seymour, fell from power and met his end on the executioner’s block in 1552, it was Anne’s actions that saved the Seymour family from disgrace. While England endured centuries of religious transformation and political turmoil, Anne not only survived but ensured that her family remained influential and close to the throne. …
Fulcrum Of The Union: The Border South And The Secession Crisis, 1859-1861, Michael Dudley Robinson
Fulcrum Of The Union: The Border South And The Secession Crisis, 1859-1861, Michael Dudley Robinson
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The Border South states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri spurned secession in 1860-61, which has led scholars to conclude that these four slaveholding states were safely ensconced in the Union column from the beginning of the crisis that drew the other slaveholding states into the Confederacy. Historians have often simplified the secession crisis in the Border South, minimizing the likelihood that these states with smaller concentrations of enslaved persons and a more diversified economy and society than the Upper and Lower South would ever leave the Union. This work seeks to add contingency to the story of the Border …
