My purpose has been to give a historical description of the Libro de buen amor . This I have it expedient to do by creating four broad categories: First, a brief introduction to the author and book; second, generalities about Juan Ruiz' attitude toward love; third, illustrations in respect to characterization, human behavior, local color, proverbs, and apologues; and fourth, a classification of the comedy of the work.

An Analytical Study Of La Celestina, Ben Sandoval

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

We have learned that the greatest difference between the Middle Ages and Renaissance times was the tremendous cultural upheaval that developed a rather complete change of attitudes and values. Life itself was the objective and not a mere preparation for another life. To the Medieval person the ego and the objective of living are idealized. One must enjoy everything. Much more importance was attached to physical existence. In this, the Renaissance contradicts flatly the attitude of the Middle Ages. Man began to feel that he should enjoy life and that its legitimate pleasures held no harm. Joy of living, however, …

Corporation Income Tax Policy, Dee D. Sturges

Economics ETDs

Randolph E. Paul's recent book, Taxation for Prosperity, more nearly coincides with the purpose of this study. The historical approach is used, and an attempt is made to formulate a more or less consistent policy for the immediate future. It covers the subject of federal taxation with emphasis on income taxes, but both the individual and corporation income tax are considered together with estate and trust taxes. In view of the proposal now before Congress to integrate the latter with the former taxes, this comprehensive treatment has merit.

However, this study is limited in scope and further differs from …

A Study Of The Suffrage Of The Arizona And New Mexico Indian, Laird J. Dunbar

Political Science ETDs

The present Indian population of the United States is about 500,000. This figure is to be found in no report of which the author is aware, but is the figure given him by an Indian Office official as that which approximates the total of both Indians registered with that office and of those not on their rolls. According to an estimate of the Indian office, based on its records, the states of Arizona and New Mexico had Indian populations of 56,573 and 43,904 as of January 1, 1946. These figures have undoubtedly increased in the interim, as the Indians constitute …

The Pentecostal Move At Sia Pueblo: Individual Deviation And Group Reintergration As A Result Of Peer Pressure, Jennifer Chatfield

Anthropology ETDs

The present study concerns itself with the attempt of certain persons to live individualistically in contrast to the accepted plan of life in Sia pueblo, and to change portions of their native culture to suit their newly acquired concepts.

The processes of culture change are of fundamental interest to the anthropologists.

These methods are not essentially one better than the other, nor even one more fruitful than another, but they vary in the specificity to …

A Historical Study Of The Port Of Hull During The Thirteenth Century, Floyd Winfield Snyder

History ETDs

The history of the port of Hull during the thirteenth century has presented a problem for historians in which has never been completely solved. This problem is centered around the traditional building of Hull in 1293 by Edward I. According to this tradition, Hull did not exist until this time. Evidence in the chronicle of the monastery of Meaux and those close and patent rolls, however, indicates that Hull was a port of some importance in the thirteenth century.
