History Of Winter Quarters, Nebraska, 1846-1848, Ernest Widtsoe Shumway

Theses and Dissertations

The Indian agent, the trapper, or the citizens of small Iowa townships were undoubtedly startled to see such a large movement of people and wagons across the state of Iowa. It was the winter and early spring of 1846. The onlooker would have seen men, women, and children muffled against the wintry blast, walking or riding in covered wagons and lesser vehicles. Somehow these people were different from the occasional companies bound for points West. Many were ill equipped. Many had a look of gentility, or as the frontiersman might say, a "citified look." They kept to themselves and often …

The Position Of Adam In Latter-Day Scripture And Theology, Rodney Turner

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to determine, in so far as is possible, the views held by various leaders of the Latter-day Saints relative to Adam; and more especially, the official doctrine of the Church as to his place in its theology.
The problem is based, in part, on the divergent, and oft times bitter, claims and counter-claims of members, ex-members, and non-members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over "Mormon" teachings concerning Adam in the light of a certain address given by president Brigham Young in 1852. Indeed, this address, and the man who gave …

Wakefield And Soureby: Manor And Village In The Reign Of Edward The First, Robert Allan Figge

History ETDs

It is the purpose of this study to investigate the core of manorial life, a single manor, in order to reconstruct the type of life existent there. For this purpose the manor of Wakefield in Yorkshire, England, has been chosen. As a further limiting factor this study will inquire into Wakefield life in the reign of a single king, Edward I, 1272-1307. It is hoped by this effort that life in Wakefield may be caught in a photograph, before it has a chance to vary its characteristics and customs to any great degree.

Obligados Y Ofendidos By Francisco De Rojas Zorrilla, Patricia Petersen

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

Obligado y ofendidos, a seventeenth century comedia by Don Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla, is a play suited to hold the interest and attention of the reader capable of understanding the written Spanish word. However, up to the present time, there has been no edition of this drama designed especially for students, with their particular problem in mind. Therefore, the present text of Obligados y ofendidos is intended for use by students of Spanish on the high school or college level normally prepared to read the language.

The Dualism Of Shelley's Adonais, Lucille C. Kaul

English Language and Literature ETDs

Adonais, the elegy on Keats, is regarded by common consent as one of Shelley's two or three greatest poems and one of the greatest elegies in the English language. This current estimate approximates, if it does not confirm, the self judgement of a writer who by 1840 'had been clearly recognized as one of England's half-dozen greatest poets.'

A Comparison Of The Uses Of Astrology In The Works Of John Gower And Geoffrey Chaucer, George Rufus Wyatt Jr.

Master's Theses

The literary interest in astrology which had been gradually increasing during the fourteenth century in England, culminated in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower. It is not surprising that these two poets have used astrology very extensively in writing stories for their medieval audiences since the average man in the Middles Ages believed that life depended upon the influences of the seven planets in their positions in the zodiac. It is the purpose of this thesis to present a comparison of the uses of the astrological material in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower. In this …

The Political Influence Of Señora María Eva Duarte De Perón, Richard R. Renner

Latin American Studies ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to present something of the recent political influence of the wife of the president of Argentina, Señora María Eva Duarte de Perón. For this purpose political influence is defined as any activity with results that cause a reaction from others so that social and economic relationships are somewhat altered. This change may be slight; it may be a shift in attitude or a rejection of coercive pressure; it may only be an acknowledgement that such personal influence exists. Yet this knowledge in itself may result in a type of secondary political control limiting and …

Henry James' View Of Evil In His Writings From 1888-1899, Adrienne R. Wilda

English Language and Literature ETDs

This thesis springs from an interest in Henry James' exploration of the situations which face his characters and of the responses which his characters make to those situations. Viewing the situations, one sees that in general two possibilities may result: The character concerned may go on to a fuller development of his spiritual qualities, or he may become keyed to a value much lower than his spiritual capacity. In either case the ultimate responsibility for the individual's action or attitude rests with himself.

The Comic Art Of Don Francisco De Rojas Zorrilla In His Comedies Of Customs, Maryavis Parson

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

From the preceding discussion it may be seen that Rojas is worthy of consideration with the rest of the dramatists of Spain. However it becomes apparent that while recognizing his importance, critics have not analyzed in detail his works in their entirety. For this reason the problem arises as to what justifies Rojas' position among six foremost Golden Age dramatists. After examining the different opinions of the above-mentioned critics, we find that invariably any adverse criticism of his talent is of his love for the bizarre and the extravagant both in language and in situation or in problems. Martinez de …

A Survey Of The Critical Opinion Concerning The Effect Of Edgar Allan Poe's Life Upon His Literary Work, Alice Mary Griffith

Master's Theses

In this thesis I hope to present a picture of the effect the life of Edgar Allan Poe had upon his writing. Poe was and still is a controversial figure. Many of his biographers and critics agree that the illnesses and deaths of those dearest to him and the constant pressure of outer tragic circumstances played a great part in what he put down upon paper. Others feel his drinking and dope-taking colored his outpourings. There is much emphasis placed upon his childhood days in England. Some attention is paid to his life in Richmond as a boy. There are …

Art And Religion In Milton's Critical Theory, Otto Leonhart Brenner

Master's Theses

Unquestionably, behind Milton's writings stands his critical theory. Without it he could never have been great. His ability to select what was basic in the production of art was a prime factor in giving him the remarkable proficiency and power he displays in handling poetic forms in such a way that they ideally represent the thought and emotions experienced in nature.

The intention of this study is to demonstrate the nature of miracles in New Mexico&mdashtheir social significances as related to the cultural background.
