A Study Of Some Textual Variations In The Book Of Mormon Comparing The Original And The Printer's Manuscripts And The 1830, The 1837, And The 1840 Editions, Stanley R. Larson Jan 1974

A Study Of Some Textual Variations In The Book Of Mormon Comparing The Original And The Printer's Manuscripts And The 1830, The 1837, And The 1840 Editions, Stanley R. Larson

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is a study of textual variations in the two manuscripts and the first three editions of the Book of Mormon. Successive collations of each of these were made against the text of the first edition. From these collations some 427 specific textual variations were selected for inclusion in the thesis.

The research disclosed that some genuine corrections as well as editorial revisions were made by Joseph Smith in 1837 and 1840. However, it was also concluded that some alterations of the text arose from accidental causes.

The most significant contribution of this study was that both the Original …

Jerzy Kosinski’S The Devil Tree: A Work Of Art?, Tom G. Colonnese Jan 1974

Jerzy Kosinski’S The Devil Tree: A Work Of Art?, Tom G. Colonnese

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Jerzy Kosinski Is fourth novel, The Devil Tree, is widely regarded as both a technical and imaginative failure. Rather than being an artistic failure, The Devil Tree is in fact a fully mature and variant expression of Kosinski's art. Some of Kosinski's earlier fame was due to a humanistic misreading of his work. But The Devil Tree made it painfully clear that Kosinski 's own ethic-- particularly when concerned with self-realization - was of another order. Interpreted in the full light of his career it can be seen that Kosinski 's The Devil Tree is the logical outcome of both …


Flyting In Pre-Elizabethan Drama, In Shakespeare, And In Jonson, Carol M. Cochran Dec 1973

Flyting In Pre-Elizabethan Drama, In Shakespeare, And In Jonson, Carol M. Cochran

English Language and Literature ETDs

In its broadest sense the term "flyting" means any wrangling or contention. Generally the term is used some­what more narrowly to refer to battles of wits in which contestants try to excel ea.ch other in imaginative abuse. The contest aspect of the flyting excludes from its definition asides or one-sided taunts. The emphasis on imaginative abuse delivered for its own sake distinguishes flyting from the debate, which is concerned with issues, and also from satire, which usually has as its aim the reformation of an opponent. Games of abuse have been pervasive, there are battle flytings, court fly1cings, festival flytings, …


The Indestructible Woman In The Works Of Faulkner, Hemingway, And Steinbeck., Mimi Reisel Gladstein Dec 1973

The Indestructible Woman In The Works Of Faulkner, Hemingway, And Steinbeck., Mimi Reisel Gladstein

English Language and Literature ETDs

American male novelists, according to the critical commonplace, have difficulty creating fully human females. Critics indict Faulkner, Hemingway, and Steinbeck as prime examples of this deficiency. Though their works represent distinct styles, focuses, and subject matters, these three writers do have some striking similarities beyond their alleged inability to allow full humanity to their female characters. They all express a pervasive disillusionment with contemporary society and project generally pessimistic world images. However, each author has certain optimistic undertones: mankind’s ability to endure is one of them. A recurrent manifestation of this theme ls the indestructible woman.

The indestructible woman, a …

Metodes Meahta In Six Old English Poems, Mary Relihan Dec 1973

Metodes Meahta In Six Old English Poems, Mary Relihan

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This thesis, then, will attempt to show that the achievement of unity was the primary concern of the Old English poets, who aimed to use the power of poetry to teach their people how their hope for immortality might be realized under Christianity. Their concern is evident from their poetic diction and themes that have an origin in common values of mankind, from their demonstration of unity within the poems by deliberately chosen connotative language and by forms which represent a progression of thought, and from their objective presentations in dramatic and imaginative settings. Therefore, the poetry is a fusion …
