Ernest Hemingway's Impressionistic Style., Larry Cole Thompson
Ernest Hemingway's Impressionistic Style., Larry Cole Thompson
Master's Theses
This thesis is in one sense an attempt to explain to what extent, if any, the fluctuations in critical and popular evaluation throughout, and even after, Hemingway's lengthy career are due to his impressionistic style. The purpose and method of this thesis is therefore twofold:
- To arrive at a workable definition of Impressionism, and, using this definition, to delineate those portions of Hemingway's work which are written in this manner.
- To determine if Impressionism may be used as a critical gauge in assessing Hemingway's fictional works and perhaps explain the aforementioned fluctuations in his work.
Les Trois Iles De Marivaux, Suzanne Prillaman Wiltshire
Les Trois Iles De Marivaux, Suzanne Prillaman Wiltshire
Master's Theses
On appelle Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux "peintre de l'amour naissant, "observateur nuancé du coeur humain," "délicieux poète. De telles épithètes décrivent bien cet écrivain de la premiere moitié du dix-huitième siècle, auteur d'une trentaine de pièces et de plusieurs romans, récits et essais. Les critiques signalent toujours l'ambiance délicate et raffinée--même watteauesque--de ses oeuvres: mais, peu a peu, on commence a trouver aussi un coté sérieux et humanitaire chez Marivaux qui vaut l'attention du lecteur.
Sur les trois iles de Marivaux, il nous apprend ce que c'est que d'être vraiment humain. Si l'on a besoin d'une révolution, il …
Blood-Knowledge And The Plumed Serpent, Steven Mark Schwartz
Blood-Knowledge And The Plumed Serpent, Steven Mark Schwartz
Master's Theses
The intent of this paper is to study D. H. Lawrence's theme of blood-knowledge as it is found in a selection of his fictional works. The most outstanding work which concerns itself with this theme is The Plumed Serpent, a novel which centers around the re-birth of the ancient Mexican religion of Quetzalcoatl.
Evan Harrington : George Meredith's Use Of Comedy As A Corrective To Sentimentality, Joyce Stanley Scott
Evan Harrington : George Meredith's Use Of Comedy As A Corrective To Sentimentality, Joyce Stanley Scott
Master's Theses
Because it leads an individual to increasing loss of perspective, George Meredith considered sentimentality a real tragedy. The deluded sentimentalist convinces himself that all his efforts and attitudes bear him steadily down the road of spiritual progress, when actually he is using his ideals of society as an excuse for willful blindness, a shifting of responsibility, and self-deception. The sentimentalist's primary concern is to cushion himself against hard fact instead of training himself for encountering it, and he accomplishes this by drugging himself against the perception of truth.
The French And British Socialist Missions To Russia, 1917 : A Thesis, Thomas L. Powers
The French And British Socialist Missions To Russia, 1917 : A Thesis, Thomas L. Powers
Honors Theses
In 1917, several Allied countries sent Socialist representatives to Russia to try to convince the Russian Socialists to stay in the war. I have concentrated on the British and French missions because they, as representatives of the two largest of the Allied countries, contacted more people and groups, were more deeply involved in the situation in Russia, and made themselves more conspicuous than did the others. The other missions (principally the Belgian and Italian) did very little the British and French did not do and had few characteristics which the British and French did not share.
The American's also sent …
The Court Of Star Chamber, Susan Agee
The Court Of Star Chamber, Susan Agee
Honors Theses
The Court of star Chamber in the last decade of the reign of Elizabeth had great prominence in the life of Tudor England. It was an efficient model or a typical Tudor institution, yet its uniqueness was recognized as early as the 1570's by Sir Thomas Smith. In later years, it abused its power and became a symbol of Stuart tyranny, but, during this period, it was a necessary and a respected body. A distinction should be made between the Star Chamber and the Privy Council. Besides the slight difference in its membership, the star Chamber was an exclusively judicial …
The Influence Of The Early English Baptists On The Development Of The Concept Of Religious Liberty, Rebecca Saunders
The Influence Of The Early English Baptists On The Development Of The Concept Of Religious Liberty, Rebecca Saunders
Honors Theses
To interpret the possible impact of the Leveler movement and to understand the nature of this party of revolt, one must first know the character of its leaders, as well as the content and derivation of their ideals. Hence without the near martyrdom and popular image of John Lil- burne, the exactness and innuence in debating of John Wildman, the agi- tating leadership of Edward Sexby, the democratic zeal of Richard Over- ton, and the organization and clarifications of William Walwyn, the Leveller movementwould never have attained its form and influence.
The French Organ And Organ Music Of The Late Seventeenth Century, And The Registration Practices Relating Them To Each Other, Bruce Borden Stevens
The French Organ And Organ Music Of The Late Seventeenth Century, And The Registration Practices Relating Them To Each Other, Bruce Borden Stevens
Honors Theses
An understanding of the great body of French organ music written in the second half of the seventeenth century requires an acquaintance both with the organs for which the compositions were written and with the registration practices current at the time. Standardization extended into the area of registration, for the organ composers gave numerous registration directions that reveal remarkable uniformity. This was a development not found in the equivalent, contemporary practice of other countries. It was made possible in France by the considerable stylistic similarities among the organ compositions of all the composers.
Whitman's Concept Of Brotherhood : His Motivation In Advocating Brotherhood And The Prerequisites For Brotherhood, Frank M. Morgan
Whitman's Concept Of Brotherhood : His Motivation In Advocating Brotherhood And The Prerequisites For Brotherhood, Frank M. Morgan
Honors Theses
There is a cause and effect relationship between brotherhood and almost all other proposals of Whitman. The relation between brotherhood and Whitman's metaphysical beliefs or religion is mroe complicated than a cause and effect one, and deserves more space later. With the understanding that the cause and effect situation works two ways, brotherhood both acting upon and being affected by other elements of Whitman's great plan for mankind, I shall attempt in this paper to explore these relationships from the point of view that chooses for discussion those elements that are necessitites for or impedimetns to the institution of brotherhood.
The War Aims Of The Russian Provisional Government, Susan Parker
The War Aims Of The Russian Provisional Government, Susan Parker
Honors Theses
The outbreak of the first World War marked the end of an era in the history of Euroe; nowhere was this to be more true than in Russia. At th eoutset there was a great show of popular support for the war, much more so than for the Russo-Japanese War in 1904. Anti-government and revolutionary activity had soon revived following the temporary hiatus after the seemingly successful Revolution of 1905, but it disappeared almost entirely in the rise of national feeling and loyalty that accompanied the declaration of war on August 1, 1914.

Honors Theses
The Scottsburo Case - a series of litigations which shook the thirties began on March 21, 1931 in an alleged rape of two white girls by nine Negro boy son a train near Point Rock, Alabama.

It will be my purpose in this paper to examine the case from the standpoint of Communism as seen through the efforts fo the International Labor Defense, a Communist front organization. I will trace the history of the I.L.D. and its campaign …
