The Church In The Dramas Of T. S. Eliot, Rebecca Ellen Dunn Jan 1970

The Church In The Dramas Of T. S. Eliot, Rebecca Ellen Dunn

All Master's Theses

From the desolation of a sterile Waste Land populated by straw men, Eliot's dramas increasingly portray a world of great meaning and hope. His early dramas portray a hostile and insensible world which must be fought and completely rejected by religious persons who are called to martyrdom and sainthood. Eliot's acceptance of the material world and comfort with its society brings a steady transformation of his spiritual vision when at the end of his dramas the world is one of common people who strive to find meaning and "make the best of a bad job," illumined by a vision of …

The Continuance Of Romance In American Fiction, Oliver James Benham

All Master's Theses

Ortega As A System, Lawrence Benton Aug 1969

Ortega As A System, Lawrence Benton

American Studies ETDs

The Spanish philosopher, José Ortega y Gasset, is best known in this country for his provocative essays on contemporary social and aesthetic issues. Several of his books have been translated into English and widely distributed (see the Bibliography for a list of English translations). Apparently he has a wide readership in the English-speaking world. In spite of the popularity of his own works, however, very little has been written in English about him, the total critical output amounting to a few articles in scholarly journals and a book or two (again, see the Bibliography). Thus, the central critical questions surrounding …


The Diplomatic Mission Of Yancey, Rost And Mann: The Inadequacies Of Confederate Foreign Policy, 1861, Paul Zingg Aug 1969

The Diplomatic Mission Of Yancey, Rost And Mann: The Inadequacies Of Confederate Foreign Policy, 1861, Paul Zingg

Master's Theses

During the secession movement of January- February 1861, which culminated in the Montgomery Constitutional Convention, the young Confederate government established well-defined policy objectives for the purpose of securing European allies and material assistance. Basically these aims were three-fold: to secure recognition of the sovereign status of the Confederate states; to induce intervention by the European powers on the side of the Confederacy; and, after April, 1861, to gain a repudiation of the Union blockade from these same powers. Relying predominantly on the coercive power of cotton, the South began its quest for these objectives with diplomatic efforts directed at the …
