Brigham Young's Ideal Society: The Kingdom Of God, J. Keith Melville

BYU Studies

Brigham Young (1801-1877), second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints, encouraged early Church members to build up the Kingdom of God. Unlike other Christians, Young and the Latter-day Saints believed that the Kingdom of God was temporal, not just spiritual. The article outlines the traits of the Kingdom's government and society and asserts that the faith of the Latter-day Saints and their leader caused them to labor to make their Utopia a reality.


Crabbe, “Clutterbuck And Co.”, Marion B. Brady Nov 1962

Crabbe, “Clutterbuck And Co.”, Marion B. Brady

BYU Studies

George Crabbe uses tone to convey meaning in "Elder Brother's Tale" in Tales of the Hall. Over the course of the poem, Crabbe changes from using a highly romanticized style to a rational, mater-of-fact style. This change reflects the psychological changes within the elder brother, George, showing that Crabbe was not careless in his poetic choices but masterfully uses tone to add depth of meaning to the poem.
