A Study Of William Makepeace Thackeray's Novel The History Of Henry Esmond, Esq., Gladys H. Harrington

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is three-fold: (1) it will endeavor to give an appreciation of Henry Esmond as a purely literary creation; (2) it will endeavor to give a true representation of England as it was during the reign of Queen Anne; and (3) it will endeavor to determine whether or not this novel is historically exact in its portrayal of the life and the conditions as they existed during the reign of Queen Anne.

Machiavelli And Shakespeare., Edith M. Stark

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A brief introduction to Nicola Machiavelli is necessary for a better understanding of the influence he exerted upon English thought. He was a descendant of old Florentine nobility and lived from 1469 to 1527. Little is known of his early years and education, but it is evident from his works that he read widely in the Latin and Italian classics, particularly the Roman histories, and that he was a student of men and things. His first entrance into public service was made in 1494. He was made clerk of the second chancery and four years later was appointed second chancellor …

Romance And Walpole, Mary Mercedes Tintel

Bachelors’ Theses

In studying romantic literature we realize that ro¬ mance is not merely a nassing whim, but a lasting, fundamental trait in human nature. In some cases ro¬ mantic authors have nermitted their hearts to run away with their heads to such an extent, that sane readers have turned away in disgust at the wild extravagance of this false romanticism. But true romance is always with us. It is not a matter of any particular century, but a product of all times and of all nations. Our age is no exception to the rule. Among modern English writers who are inspired …

The Place Of Syndication In The Development Of The Short Story, James T. Friar

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to weigh, examine and compare the two periods in American Literature from 1870 to 1890 and from then to 1910; with reference to the short story. For it was in 1869 that Bret Harte wrote "The Luck of Roaring Camp" and this story is generally accepted as the first distinct American short story. I propose to do this by examination of the prominent men, their wor1 s. In behalf of the earlier school there is: Bret Harte, Page, Freeman, Cradock, Murfree, Harris, Stockton and Aldrich. On the side of the later writers there is: …

Formal Retraction Or Literary Repentance In The Elizabethan Age., Irene B. Rhoads

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Before entering upon a discussion of those writers of the Elizabethan Age whose works present specific instances of Personal Retractation, let us turn our attention to the problem in general and try to find out why writers of this age and of earlier times felt it necessary to repent of their literary efforts. Some critics may say that retractation was merely a literary convention; and why bother about its beginnings, sources, et cetera? Others may have the opinion that it was a personal trait, only a means of satisfying some peculiar whim or fancy of the author. Some may go …

The Victorian Compromise As Embodied In Tennyson's "In Memoriam", Eula G. Stark

Bachelors’ Theses

A representative bock cannot be considered apart from the age it reflects.

"All great writers, are in a very real sense, the products cf the age of which they are the children; their work is modified and their range is limited by the sentiments and opinions prevalent in their time." Especially is this true of Tennyson, for most all writers who treat of him intelligently express in some form or another the opinion that Tennyson is representative of his age. But we wish to call that especial period he so peculiarly embodies in "In Memoriam" as the era of the …

Contemporary American Drama: William Vaughn Moody And Eugene O'Neil, Helen F. Corrigan

Bachelors’ Theses

In any study of contemporary American drama, two names inevitably stand out from among the myriads of native playwrights - those names - William Vaughn Moody and Eugene O'Neil. Yet neither of these can be literary pigeon-holed. Moody's death prevented him reaching his full development. Consequently his work is mostly indicative - indicative of what it might have been had he lived.

The Dramatic Technique Of John Galsworthy, Othmar A. Bittman

Bachelors’ Theses

Almost a score of years before Ibsen ushered in the New Drama with his monumental series of social dramas, he said: "The experience of all countries has sufficiently established the fact that dramatic art, in every age in which it has been cultivated, has in a higher degree than any other, shown itself an important factor in the education of the people--a very obvious explanation of which fact is to be found in the drama1 s more intimate and direct relation to reality; in other words, in its greater intelligibility and in its easier and more general accessibility to the …

The Influence Of Virgil's "Aeneid" On Subsequent Literature, Mary Gertrude Quirk

Bachelors’ Theses

In a study of the lives of great men it is interesting to trace the circumstances that have affected them most deeply. And we generally find that the most powerful influences in moulding their characters were the friends that they had made. This flows from the very nature of friendship, which entails a mutual sharing of another's thoughts and feelings, interests and aspirations. Moreover, when men are united in any undertaking, howsoever insignificant, a bond of sympathy is established among them. Common ends and common purposes create a feeling of comradeship, an esprit de corps that lends grace to the …

Ethnic Ideals Of The British Isles, Constance Rummons

University of Nebraska Studies in Language, Literature, and Criticism

The history of a people can be read truly only in the light of its ideals. To study only the recorded acts of men is to see only a series of phenomena that are often incomprehensible and apparently erratic. What a mad affair the Crusades must seem to one who knows nothing of mediaeval religious ideals! How inexplicable would appear the courageous resistance of Belgium to a student in a later age who should have no knowledge of contemporary thought, and should be unable to see the principles for which she stood! Any judgment of a human action which leaves …
