The Beginnings Of English Dramatic Literature, Clarence Francis Dickopf

Bachelors’ Theses

No art has been practiced by human beings from the beginning. We only find a gradual development. We have men, however, who were born with a gift of genius, who were unconscious of the laws and rules governing their respective spheres. We read of a Mozart, a Michaelangelo and a host of other gifted men whose art came to them intuitively. These are exceptions. Art has laboriously grown, and so it is with our own dramatic art, we see its gradual development. In order to study English drama intelligently we must know its origins or beginnings, how it arose from …

The Essence Of The Drama, William M. Lamers

Bachelors’ Theses

"Drama is a representation of the will of man in conflict with the mysterious powers or natural forces which limit and belittle us; it is on e of us thrown living upon the stage, there to struggle against fatality; against social law; against one of his fellow mortals; against himself...; against the ambitions, the interests, the prejudices, the folly, the malevolence of those around him." - Brunetiere, The Law of the Drama.

A History Of The Theatre In Louisville., Mary Martha Dietz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A child is considered by some psychologists to pass through on its way to manhood the stages through which the race has passed on its way to civilization. If this is true of a single man, might it not equally be true of a community of men? Have not most settlements, in greater or a less degree, passed through the stages of development common to the growth of all cities until they have reached the standards of their day? A company of civilized men and women going forth to make a settlement in a new place, upon their arrival at …

R.U.R., or Rossum’s Universal Robots is a play written in 1920 by Karel Čapek, a Czech writer who wrote many plays and novels, many of them with science-fiction and dystopian themes. R.U.R. is perhaps the most well-known of these works in the English-speaking world because it brought the word “robot” into the language. “Robot” is derived from the Czech word meaning “worker.”

The play is set in the island headquarters of the R.U.R. corporation. The corporation has been manufacturing artificial beings which resemble humans, but who are tireless workers. They can be mass-produced in large numbers and are being adopted …
