The Damnation Of Bryan Dalyrimpleand Theron Ware: F. Scott Fitzgerald's Debt To Harold Frederic, William Jolliff

Faculty Publications - Department of English

F. Scott Fitzgerald's debt to the fin de siecle American naturalists is well known. Princetonian Amory Blaine gives the most famous suggestion of the influence in This Side of Paradise when he finds himself "rather surprised by his discovery through a critic named Mencken of several excellent American novels: 'Vandover and the Brute,' 'The Damnation of Theron Ware,' and 'Jennie Gerhardt'" (209). Henry Dan Piper notes that "Fitzgerald wrote this particular passage during the summer of 1919, when he revised his novel for the last time. It is likely that he had heard about all three books very recently" ("Norris …

Disease And Water Supply: The Case Of Cholera In 19th Century Iran, Amir A. Afkhami

Medicine Faculty Publications

This paper explores why Iran was a particularly fertile ground for repeated visitation of cholera in the 19th century. Along with certain unique Iranian cultural and religious factors, the author demonstrates how Iranian urban ecology, particularly the qanat system, contributed to the fatal spread of the epidemic. These multi-faceted conditions, the author concludes, resulted in distinct modes of disease transmission and mortality in Iran.

Dickens' 'Bad Men': Representations Of Elder Women In Dombey And Son And In Victorian Reality, Jennifer M. White

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

The paper focuses on elder women as "moral scapegoats" and grotesque figures in Charles Dickens' Dombey and Son. It also analyzes representations of younger women, focusing on constraints they face as they choose marriage or "spinsterhood." The essay draws connection between Dickens' characters and modern portrayals of elder women. My analysis is grounded in research including nineteenth-century primary documents (medical writings, essays, journals, newspapers), relevant scholarly works, modern texts, and novels preceding and contemporary with Dombey and Son. In particular, Fanny Burney's eighteenth-century novel, Evelina, along with various eighteenth-century documents are utilized to provide a historical context …

The Existence Of The Covenant Before And After Christ In Galatians 3.15-18: A Conversation With James D.G. Dunn And J. Louis Martyn, Danielle K. Nussberger

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

This study looks at Galatians 3. 15-18 by entering the scholarly conversation of J. Louis Martyn and James Dunn: 1) evaluating their claims on the issue of 'continuity' and 'discontinuity' as it is adjudicated in Galatians, 2) allowing questions to emerge from this analysis, and 3) letting the sounding of this dialogue bring forth a new exegetical voice to speak about the original text. It asks the questions: How does Paul already find continuity between the past and present constructions of the covenantal community, in the face of the opponents' belief that they must enforce a continuity that is presently …

The Foundation Of John Muir's World View: A Study Of The Tlingit Kinship, Mary Zender

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

John Muir's ideas concerning the natural world were cutting edge in the late nineteenth century and they still are today. He possessed the foresight which made his philosophies insightful and new a century later. What gave his theories the vitality to transcend time? Perhaps it was the right combination. His view of the wilderness encompassed a passion not found in most people's beliefs. I think his passion came from within, but I know he received strength from the kinship he found in the Native Alaskans. In them he discovered the truth behind his ideas. He witnessed the manifestation of his …

Pains And Contradictions In The Catcher In The Rye And Franny And Zooey, B. Daniel Rösch

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

Holden Caulfield and Franny Glass struggle with the phoniness and egotism that pervades society. They long to escape their problems and decide to run away -- he by becoming a hermit and she by retreating into spirituality through the Jesus Prayer. They soon realize the folly of their solution and through their pains and contradictions, they learn how to cope with social squalor. Holden realizes that he needs to love and accept people unconditionally, and Franny learns that she needs to shed her egotism and act altruistically. I believe J. D. Salinger outlines a spiritual coping strategy through Holden and …

Ella Fitzgerald: The Music, The Woman, The Voice Of America!, Eleanor C. Mamer

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

Ella Fitzgerald, American jazz vocalist, had an extreme impact on the world of musicians and singers during her lifetime. Her influence is still felt today, as her recordings live on as a tribute to her lifelong commitment to her art. Most jazz vocalists have been inspired by Fitzgerald because of her versatility as a performer, her presentation of material, her scat singing, and her vocal musicianship. This thesis explores three aspects of Fitzgerald and her art. The first gives background on jazz history which makes it possible to place Ella Fitzgerald into the development of jazz. The second explores Fitzgerald's …

Denying Limitations: Women's Seizure Of Education In Revolutionary France, Angela C. Anderson

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

Prior to the French Revolution of 1789, women were seen primarily as private and domestic individuals, whereas men were seen more as public and political. Women were oppressed in many ways, and girls had fewer opportunities to become educated than did boys at this time. During the Revolution, however, women came into a new existence and became politically involved in various manners, and it was in this way that women seized a non-traditional form of education. Women initiated politically motivated marches, such as the October Days (4-5 October 1789), during which thousands of women marched from Paris to the king's …

Into The Landscape, Gegory S. Walter

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work

"I walked into the landscape as with a Bible in my hand." -John Constable

This thesis project is, in its simplest terms, a study of the landscape. More specifically, it is a study of the spring and summer landscape of certain parts of the Northern Central United States. I have long held a personal fondness for this region, and this study has allowed me to delve deeper into the visual aspects of these places. The vivid, brilliant colors of the Northern landscape which come alive in the weeks following the long and often harsh winter are the constant reminder of …

Painting And Being: A Meditation On Perception, Myron N. Moore

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work

The art of painting, as I practice it, is analogous to reevaluating tradition: the purpose being not to determine what is new but to determine anew what is truly relevant. The history of art affects my perception and that which I see celebrates what I find relevant to the present. I have always worked from direct observation. In an art climate that has moved toward conceptual concerns, my response is to explore the perceptual paradigm of western art, without invalidating its tradition. My paintings are a direct response to my environment. In making such work I communicate the significance of …
