Female Education As Reflected In Victorian Fiction, Mary F. Fields Beeler Jan 1940

Female Education As Reflected In Victorian Fiction, Mary F. Fields Beeler

Graduate Thesis Collection

Enduring literature is said to be an outcome of the times that produced it. Conversely, it may be said to be an open door into the life and place where it originated. Entering this open door into the Victorian period, it is my purpose to show to what extent one phase of that life is mirrored there.

The Tragic Light In Edwin Arlington Robinson, Margaret L. Dauner Jan 1940

The Tragic Light In Edwin Arlington Robinson, Margaret L. Dauner

Graduate Thesis Collection

Edwin Arlington Robinson is generally acknowledged to be particularly the "poet of failures". His poems deal preeminently with the problems of men and women who err through their various limitations, and who usually err tragically. Since this is true, it is necessary to survey briefly, and attempt to classify, the materials from which the analyses for this study will be drawn. Such a survey will follow immediately in a subsequent chapter.

Silas Mitchell, Poet, Margaretha Strodthoff Jan 1940

Silas Mitchell, Poet, Margaretha Strodthoff

Bachelors’ Theses

There was a man whose name was Luke. He was not a clergyman, he was a physician. He felt, however, that he had something to say about the Master which none of those other men had said. So he wrote the gospel of Luke, which many people regard as the best book in the Bible. "Many have undertaken to set forth in order the facts about Jesus Christ and it seemed good to me also to write", he said. There was another physician and "it seemed good to him also to write". This physician was Silas Weir Mitchell. He rose …

The Physician In Shakespeare And Jonson, Eleanor W. Kahn Jan 1940

The Physician In Shakespeare And Jonson, Eleanor W. Kahn

Graduate Thesis Collection

The science of medicine is probably linked more closely to the daily life of man than any other science. The sheer necessity of healing brought forth first remedies, and whether the art of healing was practiced by the wise-woman, the priest, or the medicine man, the practitioners of this art were undoubtedly a very important factor in the lives of their contemporaries.

Aldous Huxley : A Study In A Changing Philosophy, Lee Quellen Charette Jan 1940

Aldous Huxley : A Study In A Changing Philosophy, Lee Quellen Charette

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

"Art," besides being art, "is also philosophy," Aldous Huxley says in Vulgarity in Literature. Throughout the years in which he has been writing, Huxley has never lost sight of this dictum. His philosophy has ever formed an integral part of all that he has produced, and especially has it been basic in his novels.

Because of the importance of philosophy to Huxley, the artist, I have aimed in this study at following the course of his changing philosophy. I have tried to present Huxley in his early years advocating a philosophy of meaninglessness and then, after becoming dissatisfied with such …


A Study Of The Interrelations Between Dos Passos' Personal Philosophy, Objectives, And Techniques And The Influence Of The Zeitgeist On Them, James R. Wilson Jan 1940

A Study Of The Interrelations Between Dos Passos' Personal Philosophy, Objectives, And Techniques And The Influence Of The Zeitgeist On Them, James R. Wilson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

For several reasons Dos Passos is important to the development of American literature. His novels, with their integrity, breadth, and architectonic form, are painted on a larger canvas than any other American writers. In Manhattan Transfer, his fourth novel, he attempted to portray the greatest metropolis in the world, New York City. He succeeded as well as anyone ever has. Then, refusing to rest on his cars, he went on to the trilogy U. S. A., which takes all of twentieth century American life as its subject. This is Dos Passos' epic of modern Americanlife, the most successful of the …

Attitude Toward English Culture In Irish Literature, Sister Rita Cascia Smith Oct 1939

Attitude Toward English Culture In Irish Literature, Sister Rita Cascia Smith

English Language and Literature ETDs

A consideration of the attitude toward English culture in Irish literature necessitates an understanding of the conflict of the two cultures: the conflict of the Anglo-Saxon race with an Irish race; the conflict of a Protestant culture with a Catholic culture. A critical appreciation of this conflict covers eight centuries with scarcely a suspension of twenty-four hours, may be gained by taking a dispassionate view of history of both countries; by realizing what both have achieved; and speculating intelligently on their future.


Sunset Over Lincoln, Gordon Clouser Oct 1939

Sunset Over Lincoln, Gordon Clouser

English Language and Literature ETDs

In writing this play, I have tried to avoid the emphasis usually placed upon Billy the Kid. Most of the books and articles on the Lincoln County War have dealt extensively ( and without too great a regard for the truth) with his exploits, and there seemed little to be gained in re-telling the story from the same old angle. It appeared to me that a far more promising field was the one offered by the Spanish-American element in Lincoln and the effect of the war upon them: hence the decision to make Ygenic Salazar my pivotal figure.
