The Authenticity Of Benson's Historical Novels, Estelle T. Bell Jan 1931

The Authenticity Of Benson's Historical Novels, Estelle T. Bell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis examines the historical accuracy of Robert Hugh Benson's historical novels "The King's Achievement," "Come Rack! Come Rope!," and "By What Authority," arguing that despite their fictional romantic elements, these novels authentically portray the historical relationship between the English and Catholic Churches during the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Bell opens by distinguishing the aims of the historian from those of the novelist, then situates Benson biographically as a convert from Anglicanism to Catholicism whose religious sensibility shaped his literary work.

Drawing on the "Lingard-Belloc History of England" as an authoritative historical source, the thesis traces the …


A Criticism Of Paul Lawrence Dunbar And His Works, Ethel M. Baptiste Jun 1930

A Criticism Of Paul Lawrence Dunbar And His Works, Ethel M. Baptiste

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, presented at Xavier University in June 1930 in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, offers a critical study of the life and poetic works of Paul Laurence Dunbar. The thesis opens with a biographical account of Dunbar's impoverished childhood in Dayton, Ohio, his early literary talent, his work as an elevator operator while writing verse, and the publication of his first volume, "Oak and Ivy," in 1893, before turning to a close examination of his poetic output.

The thesis organizes its analysis by literary form, examining Dunbar's lyrics, sonnets, odes, dirges, ballads, and …


Machiavelli And Shakespeare., Edith M. Stark Jan 1930

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 …


Secret Treaties Of The Allies With A Special Study Of The Treaty Of London., Bedford Turner Jan 1930

Secret Treaties Of The Allies With A Special Study Of The Treaty Of London., Bedford Turner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

After much study and research this paper, on one of the big questions of the World War, "Secret Treaties of the Allies," is presented, and the facts contained herein, it is hoped, will be of interest. The student of history becomes deeply concerned about the why of such action on the part of great nations combined together to fight the greatest war of all history. This particular field of the past, for the one desiring to do research work, will remain fertile for a long time. It is like the "hidden treasure" in that the facts will only be discovered …


General Anglo-Russian Relations 1903-1908., Catherine Archer Little Jan 1930

General Anglo-Russian Relations 1903-1908., Catherine Archer Little

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Great Britain has proved herself sufficient to counteract Russia in her Balkan enterprises on more than one occasion. In mentioning the War for Greek Independence, we must remember that political aspirations of the Tsars and a series of wars had made the Russians and the Turks traditional enemies and that Great Britain entered the war in order that Russia might not unduly profit at the expense of the Turks. In 1841, Great Britain was in a great way responsible for the Treaty of the Straits which closed the Dardanelles in time of war. In 1853, Turkey and Russia again went …


Land Laws Of Kentucky., Lillian Logan Jan 1930

Land Laws Of Kentucky., Lillian Logan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis follows the growth of settlement in Kentucky from the time of her birth as a state in seventeen hundred and ninety-two, to the year eighteen hundred and thirty-seven, a period during which all of the land within her borders was opened for settlement. It does not pretend to relate a complete story of the march across Kentucky, but only to tell the important stages as revealed by the laws governing appropriating of land. There were no Indian towns or villages within the boundaries of what is now Kentucky, but certain tribes had definite hunting grounds. The Cherokees were …


The Madrigal., Frank B. Martin Jan 1930

The Madrigal., Frank B. Martin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The madrigal is the oldest of concerted secular forms. It had its origin in northern Italy, perhaps as early as the twelfth century. The early compositions had none of the elaborate devices which characterize the madrigals of the sixteenth century. Francesco di Landino, (1325-1390), an Italian, and the leading musician of the Florentine school of his time, wrote a madrigal, Tu che l'opera d'altrul, an extract of which appears in Fellowes' English Madrigal (1) Composers. Landino's life is interesting. He was blind from youth, but was organist for many years in the church of San Lorenzo in Florence. His madrigal …
