Faulkner In Hollywood: A Study Of His Career As A Scenarist, George Sidney Jun 1959

Faulkner In Hollywood: A Study Of His Career As A Scenarist, George Sidney

American Studies ETDs

This study explores a significant aspect of William Faulkner's life and work: his Hollywood career. For Faulkner, Hollywood served as a remunerative avocation. It provided him with a financial security which his literary public at that time did not. The money he earned as a scenarist seems to have enabled him to evade the economic necessity of writing for a commercial market, permitting him to write "for himself." But Faulkner also gave for what he got. He gave his time and creative energy, the results of which--his Hollywood writings-- reveal the mind of the artist at work. Faulkner the novelist …

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

William Allen White: The Respectable Rebel, John Dewitt Mckee Sep 1958

William Allen White: The Respectable Rebel, John Dewitt Mckee

American Studies ETDs

To understand the growth of William Allen White from a spokesman for the business-in-government conservatism of Mark Hanna to leadership in the revolt of the middle-class liberals one has to see him in the surroundings of the society into which he was born, to examine parental influence, and to realize the importance of the ideas he absorbed in his schooling and in his early journalistic training. It is also necessary, in explaining White's rebellion against the conservatism of his youth, to take into full account the impact of Theodore Roosevelt's personality on the life of William Allen White.

A History Of The Italians In New Mexico, Frederick G. Bohme Jun 1958

A History Of The Italians In New Mexico, Frederick G. Bohme

American Studies ETDs

Several years ago one of Albuquerque's long-time Italian-American residents remarked, "I feel like a big fellow here... I am glad I came- back there [in Italy] I would still be a little fellow." Although Italians represent one of the largest sources of American immigration, they have never comprised more than six-tenths of one percent of New Mexico's population. They are important, nevertheless, because next to natives of Mexico they comprise the largest foreign-born group in the state. They are significant because Italian churchman and Italian settlers, more than any others, provided a "bridge" between the Anglo-Saxon and Hispano cultures found …

Shih-Tóu Hsi-Chíen, Progenior Of Soto Zen, Roy William Collier Jan 1958

Shih-Tóu Hsi-Chíen, Progenior Of Soto Zen, Roy William Collier

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Zen Buddhism has followed an extremely tortuous route, both geographically and philosophically, in its development from its Buddhist roots in India, centuries before the birth of Christ, to its present internationally important state of development in the world today. Buddhism, containing the embryo of the yet unborn sect of Zen, moved from India to China during the Sixth Century A. D. Zen came into its om as a Buddhist sect during the renaissance Chinese culture in the 7'ang Dynasty (approximately Seventh through Ninth Centuries, A. D.). The great Japanese Zen master, Dogen, initiated Zen as a movement in Japan in …

Patterns Of Dissent: The Reform Ideas And Activities Of George D. Herron, Herbert R. Dieterich Sep 1957

Patterns Of Dissent: The Reform Ideas And Activities Of George D. Herron, Herbert R. Dieterich

American Studies ETDs

The search of George D. Herron for a means which might lead mankind to a better life was an important one in the current of American reform between 1890 and 1920. Herron--clergyman, socialist, and diplomat--has figured in recent studies of Protestant Christianity and reform in post-Civil War industrial America. His impact on Protestant theology in the 1890's is the subject of a more specialized study; in it, Professor Robert Handy of Union Theological Seminary states that Herron's "Kingdom Movement" was the "single most important phase" of social gospel history during the nineties.
