Capitol Reef: The Forgotten National Park, Jonathan Scott Thow May 1986

Capitol Reef: The Forgotten National Park, Jonathan Scott Thow

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the changing relationship between the National Park Service and the residents of Wayne County, Utah. In 1937, Capitol Reef National Park was created as a result of the efforts made by local residents looking for a solution to their economic problems. Over the next five decades, the anticipated economic upturn spurred by the National Park did not develop. Instead, the relationship between the parties involved underwent a radical change because of conflicts over private landholdings, grazing and mineral rights, expansion, development, and road building. While this study does trace the growth of …

Kandinsky And "Old Russia": An Ethnographic Exploration, Peg Weiss Apr 1986

Kandinsky And "Old Russia": An Ethnographic Exploration, Peg Weiss

Syracuse Scholar (1979-1991)

Suggests that Kandinsky's experiences as a student of ethnography in the late 1880s left an indelible imprint on his life and work, providing a vast resource of ethnic symbol and tradition on which to base his abstract iconography. The depth and power of that ethnographic experience is revealed in a new analysis of key works and writings from the beginning of his artistic career at the turn of the century to the end of his life in 1944.

The Troubadour Poets: Their Influence On Their Times, Georgia M. Jarrell Apr 1986

The Troubadour Poets: Their Influence On Their Times, Georgia M. Jarrell

Institute for the Humanities Theses

Troubadour poetry was a phenomenon which occurred in the South of France during the eleventh through the thirteenth centuries. The style was one of political and social invectives and panegyrics, as well as a sophisticated love poetry. The tradition flourished and then died with direct relations to the political and religious events of the era. Through this poetry, the modern reader can not only understand the feelings of the individual poets but also gain insights on the lifestyles of the period and the events which had a bearing on the history of the period. The troubadours were truly mirrors of …

The Sense Of An Ending In Shakespeare's Early Comedies, Deborah T. Curren Aquino Jan 1986

The Sense Of An Ending In Shakespeare's Early Comedies, Deborah T. Curren Aquino

Quidditas

About Shakespeare's endings, Samuel Johnson wrote:

in many of his plays the latter part is evidently neglected. When he found himself near the end of his work, and in view of his reward, he shortened the labor to snatch the profit. He therefore remits his efforts where he should most vigorously exert them, and his catastrophe is improbably produced or imperfectly represented. (71-72)

In the twentieth century, Ernest Schanzer has echoed Dr. Johnson's opinion in his commentary on A Midsummer Night's Dream: "For sheer economy and multiplicity of effect it [the first scene] has no equal in any of …
