Tom Plumb, A Novel, Gwendolyn Dimmitt Jul 1941

Tom Plumb, A Novel, Gwendolyn Dimmitt

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This is a true story, as far as actual dates and the verification of the incidents is concerned. The writer has filled in the conversation and the human interest bits as it seemed the people of that day might have talked or acted. Mr. Plumb is a true character, and the story of his life is given according to the facts as the writer was able to find them. That Mr. Plumb was a typical, and yet individual character, is proved by the fact that one year before his death he was chosen by the Red Willow County, Nebraska, Pioneer …

The Chivalric Ideal In The Work Of Sir Walter Scott, Margaret E. Remy Jan 1938

The Chivalric Ideal In The Work Of Sir Walter Scott, Margaret E. Remy

Graduate Thesis Collection

During the school year of 1936-1937 I became intensely interested in the study of the Chivalry as brought out in Dr. Harrison's graduate course on The Arthurian Legend.  I was curious to know how Sir Walter Scott, with some of whose novels and poems I was acquainted, had used the chivalric ideal in his work.  Out of that curiosity grew the desire to study further the chivalric ideal and its relation to Scott.  The result of my study of the past year is the survey following.


A Discussion Of The Rogue Novel La Celestina With Special Reference To The Social Conditions Of The Time, Blanche Todes Mar 1937

A Discussion Of The Rogue Novel La Celestina With Special Reference To The Social Conditions Of The Time, Blanche Todes

Bachelors’ Theses

Because the picaresque novel is so intimately connected with the Spanish people, and so clearly expresses their spirit, I have always been extremely interested in this genre. Therefore, I have written on the Celestina because it is the forerunner of this genre and is one of the most worth while and important works in Spanish literature.


Friedrich Wilhelm Koenig: A Study In Biography And Background Based On Documentary Evidence And Family Tradition, Paul King May 1936

Friedrich Wilhelm Koenig: A Study In Biography And Background Based On Documentary Evidence And Family Tradition, Paul King

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

It was my first intention to write a biography of my grandfather. This was to be an entirely creative piece of work, based on his Army discharge, an account of his death and burial in the local paper, and the traditions of the family. Because his life after 1875-when he left the 5th Cavalry was so closely connected with the history of Hays, the biography was to stop short, twenty-three years before his death. Hays City from 1875 to 1898, the people, the colorful English colonists east in Victoria, the Russian-Germans, the change of troops at the fort, the fort …


The History And Treatment Of The English Drama During The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries, Leonard Francis Sommers Apr 1936

The History And Treatment Of The English Drama During The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries, Leonard Francis Sommers

Bachelors’ Theses

Thia chapter will deal with the earlier sources of information about the dramatic companies. The provincial towns of England are the best sources of information about the English companies of drama. Reference to the drama usually appeared in the Court books of the corporation, also in the account books, or even letter-books. The reason for this is not hard to understand, for when a dramatic company visited a provincial town, their first duty was to present their license to the Mayor and also to his court of Aldermen, so that they could obtain permission to play. It is obvious therefore, …

The Birth And Growth Of Indo-Anglian Literature And Its Contributions To English Literature, Marie O'Loughlin Jan 1935

The Birth And Growth Of Indo-Anglian Literature And Its Contributions To English Literature, Marie O'Loughlin

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Western civilization has been influenced by Indian thought in two ways - one through the Greeks, and the other through modern English scholarship. The former has affected us but slightly, being the result of oral interchange, rather than of immediate literary borrowing, - thus passing only indirectly into our system. The latter is reacting upon English literature today in a manner and to an extent which seems not to have been fully realized by either the East or the West.

India still remains the western world something of a mystery, a succession of romantic and gorgeous pictures, or a fantastic …


The Influence Of Cyrano De Bergerac's "Voyages To The Sun And The Moon" On Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", Nancy Crampton Jan 1935

The Influence Of Cyrano De Bergerac's "Voyages To The Sun And The Moon" On Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", Nancy Crampton

Graduate Thesis Collection

It has been claimed by the French that Cyrano de Bergerac was the source for Jonathan Swift's GULLIVER'S TRAVELS. In the following paper an effort will be made to show the Englishman's indebtedness to the French writer, but in so doing it will be necessary to give some of the more indirect influences upon de Bergerac as well as upon Swift.


An Historical Criticism Of Winston Churchill's The Crisis, Richard O. Bellinghausen Apr 1933

An Historical Criticism Of Winston Churchill's The Crisis, Richard O. Bellinghausen

Bachelors’ Theses

To begin with, before setting out upon a particular scholarly duty, it is well to clarify, in as concrete a manner as is possible, the problem confronting one, and the objective which is to be the desired end of the research. Applying this principle to the present work the problem to be solved is that of the historical accuracy of a representative work by Winston Churchill, dealing with the Civil War in the United States, having in mind specifically the historical references and allusions made concerning conditions in Missouri, which was a typical border state of the wartime era.

In …

A Thesis On Shakespeare, Literature's Master Dramatist, Hilda Mary Armstrong Jul 1932

A Thesis On Shakespeare, Literature's Master Dramatist, Hilda Mary Armstrong

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education, presents a survey of the life and dramatic works of William Shakespeare, situated within the broader history of English drama. The thesis traces English drama's origins in medieval Catholic Church miracle plays and moralities through the development of Bible drama, interludes, and early English comedy and tragedy, before turning to the Elizabethan stage on which Shakespeare wrote.

A biographical account of Shakespeare's life at Stratford-on-Avon and London is followed by a description of the physical conditions of the Elizabethan theatre, including stage construction, scenery, …


Criticism Of The English Novel In The Eighteenth Century, Natalie Blyn May 1932

Criticism Of The English Novel In The Eighteenth Century, Natalie Blyn

Bachelors’ Theses

The difficulty which presents itself to anyone writing a work such as this is the determination of the standard of criticism that can be applied to the novels of the eighteenth century. It is for this reason that it is necessary to make a rather intensive study of the biographers of the novelists of that period and the men who devoted a great amount of time and labor to this task. Merely to read the novels is not sufficient. For, although one can obtain a fairly accurate determination of the author's purpose and and ideas, one can never be very …
