The Angel In The Theatre: Ellen Terry And Olga Nethersole As Liminal Victorian Performers, Anna Kristine Daines Rennaker
The Angel In The Theatre: Ellen Terry And Olga Nethersole As Liminal Victorian Performers, Anna Kristine Daines Rennaker
Theses and Dissertations
The late nineteenth century British stage was hopelessly confused. It couldn’t decide whether it was London’s principle source of entertainment—mainstream and respectable enoughfor Queen Victoria herself to patronize—or the seedbed of all corruption and deviance in Victorian society. At the center of this split identity was the actress, a figure both well-beloved (in the case of stars like Ellen Terry) and the literal embodiment of everything a Victorian women shouldn’t be—loose, sexualized, and working (in the case of her contemporary, Olga Nethersole). Because of this liminal position, Victorian actresses thus create a fascinatingmicrocosm in which to study the implications of …
Engendering Epic: Heroism As Constructed Masculinity In The Epics Of Gilgamesh And Beowulf, Rachael Scott Poe
Engendering Epic: Heroism As Constructed Masculinity In The Epics Of Gilgamesh And Beowulf, Rachael Scott Poe
Honors Theses
When considering epic heroes like Gilgamesh and Beowulf, it is readily apparent that they are products of patriarchal societies, and, consequently, masculinity is an inherent consideration when defining heroism. Gender is not a neutral aspect of the human experience, nor is it uniform across socio-cultural boundaries; rather, individual cultures determine the range of appropriate and desirable behavior for each gender. Thus, the concept of gender is central to every human being, and especially to the epic heroes Gilgamesh and Beowulf whose masculine achievements shape the course of their tales. Though these heroes come from extremely different times and places, there …
A Most Fateful Encounter: How Scipio Africanus Defeated Hannibal Barca At The Battle Of Zama, Harry C. Rol
A Most Fateful Encounter: How Scipio Africanus Defeated Hannibal Barca At The Battle Of Zama, Harry C. Rol
Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects
This thesis addresses the question of why Hannibal Barca suffered such a decisive defeat at the hands of Scipio Africanus in the Battle of Zama. I begin by conducting a thorough analysis of the two ancient sources that have provided us with the bulk of what is known about the battle and the events leading up to it. My analysis of them primarily concerns itself with determining how objective and trustworthy these accounts are, and as such how much faith can be placed in the details they provide. Using these sources, I then proceed to examine the events leading up …
A Qualitative Historiographical Case Study Of The Educative Properties Of Eugene V. Debs And John Dewey: 21st Century Implications For Education, Bradley Countermine
A Qualitative Historiographical Case Study Of The Educative Properties Of Eugene V. Debs And John Dewey: 21st Century Implications For Education, Bradley Countermine
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study aimed to shed light on the current state of educational reform rhetoric through an analysis of previous attempts to shape public education for the benefit of all. Analyzing Eugene V. Debs’s and John Dewey’s views on democracy and education during the Progressive Era promotes a version and vision of education that inspires people to think critically, to navigate contemporary society, and to acknowledge current issues within public education and United States society at large. Because education both reflects society and has the power to transform it, the struggle for fair, equitable, and enlightening education is paramount to the …
Teacher Involvement In Implementing State Personal Finance Mandates, Deanna Franklin
Teacher Involvement In Implementing State Personal Finance Mandates, Deanna Franklin
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study examined strategies teachers are implementing for personal finance instruction in answer to the state financial-literacy mandates in Central Texas. One-on-one interviews, focus groups, and document analysis found that teachers are relying on personal experience, community resources, and Internet resources to instruct in personal finance in absence of personal finance curricula. No data emerged that school districts were providing resources; however, administrators are willing to provide resources if they were available. Teachers are using a variety of creative methods to enhance personal financial literacy in the classroom. Sporadic in-service/professional-development opportunities were available to train teachers in personal financial-literacy instruction; …
Success, Failure, And Obedience In Georgics Book Iv, Julie Kinsella Gavin
Success, Failure, And Obedience In Georgics Book Iv, Julie Kinsella Gavin
Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects
This paper explores the concepts of success, failure, and obedience as seen in the Orpheus-Aristaeus story in Vergil's Georgics IV. Through their contrast, along with the juxtaposition of bees, Vergil's Georgics IV demonstrates that obedience in pre- Augustan Rome truly enables success, instead of the widely held notion that hard work does so. It is through the examination of love, toil, obedience, and the separate paths Orpheus, the bees, and Aristaeus take to achieve their goals, that the reader is able to understand Vergil's message in this last book of his masterpiece.
Poetry And Paintings: Luca Giordano's Three Depictions Of Hercules' Death, Kathleen Carroll
Poetry And Paintings: Luca Giordano's Three Depictions Of Hercules' Death, Kathleen Carroll
CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium
Hercules is one of the most commonly portrayed classical figures in modern culture, with a plethora of movies and television shows depicting his adventures; this popularity is not a modern fad, however, for representations of Hercules have been a constant throughout history. During his career, the Baroque artist Luca Giordano (1634-1705) produced three different versions of Hercules' demise: the Colby Museum of Art's "Hercules on the Funeral Pyre" (1665-1670), "Hercules on the Pyre" (1687-1700) currently in El Escorial, and the Prado Museum's "Hercules on the Pyre" (~1697). This project in progress focuses on the different ways Giordano portrays Hercules' destiny …
An Attempt At Clarity: Understanding The Lives Of Livia, Tanaquil, And Alexandra, Rachel A. H. Wilson
An Attempt At Clarity: Understanding The Lives Of Livia, Tanaquil, And Alexandra, Rachel A. H. Wilson
Classical Mediterranean and Middle East Honors Projects
This project looks at the lives of three women from antiquity, Livia, Tanaquil, and Alexandra, and determines what can and cannot be known about them. Livia, Tanaquil, and Alexandra were all powerful women during their time, but today, the stories of their lives are confusing and contradictory. Through the medium of fiction, this project brings Livia, Tanaquil, and Alexandra to life as characters in a story in order to highlight the problems that arise when studying these women. There are three essays that accompany the story, one for each of the women, which discuss the difficulties in interpreting the available …
Celtic Romanization: Cultural Assimilation Or Cultural Exchange?, Shawn Lee
Celtic Romanization: Cultural Assimilation Or Cultural Exchange?, Shawn Lee
Young Historians Conference
The rise of the Roman Empire created not only a military but also a cultural hegemony over colonized populations. While this interaction is often portrayed as a primarily unidirectional process of cultural assimilation, this may not be the case for Celtic peoples following their colonization in the mid first century BC. An examination of Roman perception of Celtic culture, perceived compatibility of Celtic culture, and mixed Romano-Celtic culture indicates that the cultural exchange between Romans and Celts was bi-directional.

The Roman Army: Strategy, Tactics, And Innovation, Weiyi Zhou
Young Historians Conference
The Roman Empire at its peak covered millions of square miles of ground, encompassing a vast variety of cultures of people. In order to ensure continued peace and stability in such a mammoth multiethnic empire, the Roman Army was forced to engage and repel a variety of foreign opponents utilizing different tactics across a wide spectrum of terrain, from Macedonian phalanxes on flat plains to Gallic barbarian hordes on forested ground. Simultaneously, the Roman Army also had to avoid compromising internal stability and maintain a force capable of putting down a large range of insurrectionist forces. Even today, with the …
The Pursuit Of Pleasure: An Intersection Between Aristotle's Poetics And Sixteenth Century Renaissance Music, Eliza M. Kamerling-Brown
The Pursuit Of Pleasure: An Intersection Between Aristotle's Poetics And Sixteenth Century Renaissance Music, Eliza M. Kamerling-Brown
Young Historians Conference
Aristotle’s Poetics is unparalleled as one of the most translated texts in history. The Greek philosopher’s cross-cultural influence can be traced through the evolution of countless practices over time, ranging from Late Antiquity to philosophy of mind to political theory. Yet far beyond the work’s commonly-known political, dramatic and philosophical influences, the components of Poetics were essential in shaping the distinctive style of sixteenth century renaissance music, a medium whose aim of reviving the ethical power of the ancient past has helped Aristotelian concepts survive through the centuries.
The Dichotomy Of Pudicitia, Amber L. Harvey
The Dichotomy Of Pudicitia, Amber L. Harvey
Young Historians Conference
The lives of women in the Roman Republic were incredibly restricted and controlled by their male counterparts, yet key counters to this restriction are often overlooked, mainly that of a woman’s pudicitia. Pudicitia was a defining moral quality that encompassed state, familial, sexual, and other duties, a woman held in society. These qualities, are shown in the mythical Rape of the Sabines, and allow female participation in the Conflict of the Orders and the defiance of the Vestal Virgins. These allowances are countered by aspects of pudicitia that restricted rights and participation, ultimately yielding a system that paradoxically encouraged …
Christianity's Influence On Attitudes Toward Homosexuality In The Roman Empire, Jennie Jiang
Christianity's Influence On Attitudes Toward Homosexuality In The Roman Empire, Jennie Jiang
Young Historians Conference
Attitudes towards sexuality are deeply influenced by the intricate interplay between religion and social values. How do polytheistic and monotheistic societies differ in how they view sexuality? In the pre-Christian days of the early Roman Empire, polytheism fostered a remarkable tolerance toward both same-sex relations and various expressions of sexuality, as evident in social expectations, literature, and written law. In contrast, a closer examination of the Roman Empire’s transition from a polytheistic to Christian society in the 4th and 5th centuries reveals that the rise of Christianity corresponded with, and likely contributed to, increasingly strict attitudes towards homosexuality.
Livia's Power In Ancient Rome, Tori L. Allen
Livia's Power In Ancient Rome, Tori L. Allen
Young Historians Conference
When one thinks of the ancient Roman heroes, Caesar and Augustus come to mind. We picture Roman men on the front lines in culture and society, while the women are kept back and oppressed. And while women definitely faced obstacles in ancient Rome, it didn't stop them from making an impact. This paper argues that Livia, wife of Roman emperor Augustus, was able to secretly manipulate politics in Rome as a mother and a wife, as seen in honorific statues, Ovid's poetry, and honorific titles.
Power Structure, Nathaniel Klein
Power Structure, Nathaniel Klein
Young Historians Conference
By today's standards morally reprehensible subjects are difficult to examine, however, from a historical perspective topics such as infanticide offer insight into individual behavior, therefore reflecting societal norms. This paper explores the practice of infanticide used during the course of the 7th century BCE to reinforce the power structures of the period. Infanticide was far more than a simple way to dispose of unwanted offspring; it was a tool that was used by ancient Greek societies to maintain systems of control and promote social values upon which society depended.
The Enigma Of The Spartan Woman, Jalena M. Post
The Enigma Of The Spartan Woman, Jalena M. Post
Young Historians Conference
Active in both social and economic spheres, Spartan women possessed much more mobility than their counterparts in Athens. In the areas of education, the arts, land ownership, marriage, and family life, the women of Sparta enjoyed a large amount of sovereignty when compared to other ancient societies. The absence of Spartan men during almost constant times of war necessitated women taking on more responsibility than they would have otherwise, but to what extent? This paper strives to characterize the unique role of the women of Sparta during the classical period of Greek history, especially as in contrast to their Athenian …
Scelus Et Poena: A Comparison Of Legal Bias In Ancient Rome And Contemporary America, Aaron R. Caffrey
Scelus Et Poena: A Comparison Of Legal Bias In Ancient Rome And Contemporary America, Aaron R. Caffrey
Classics Honors Papers
Of the many advances made by the ancient Romans, perhaps their greatest contribution to contemporary Western society stemmed from their sophisticated legal system. Ancient senators, jurists, and eventually emperors set forth policies that encompassed the expectations of Roman citizens in respect to property, family, and behavior. Roman law allowed for the creation of an efficient government bureaucracy, promoting an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity that stretched over the first two centuries of the Common Era. This peace, however, did not apply to all individuals under control of the Roman government. While wealthy and dignified citizens enjoyed leniency in legal …
Recognition And Redemption: Samson, Agamemnon, And Odysseus, Lindsey Stamper
Recognition And Redemption: Samson, Agamemnon, And Odysseus, Lindsey Stamper
Undergraduate Research Conference
In the earliest works of literature, authors discuss the implications and qualities of human fallacy. Studying the works of The Bible, Agamemnon by Aeschylus, and The Odyssey by Homer, one can see this concept through the actions of characters. In particular, Samson, Agamemnon, and Odysseus portray the fall, recognition, and redemption of mankind. In the case of Samson, Yahweh has established the covenant of the Nazarene with him. However, he falls and breaks the covenant. Through a painful series of events, Samson eventually recognizes his faults but does not redeem himself before his tragic death. Similarly, Agamemnon falls when he …
Labor Of Love: Childbirth And Midwives In Ancient Rome, Laura Lines
Labor Of Love: Childbirth And Midwives In Ancient Rome, Laura Lines
Undergraduate Research Conference
In modern American society, midwives are relatively uncommon since most mothers choose the medical model of childbirth which places importance on physicians and medicine to assist childbirth. Recent medical advances contributed to the medicalization of childbirth, but how were children born in historical eras without medical technology? A focus on Ancient Rome provides one of the earliest example of medicine in childbirth. Ancient texts written during the Roman Empire demonstrate an interest in women's reproductive health as seen through Soranus' Gynecology and Pliny the Elder's Historia Naturalis. These two scientific texts offer different accounts of childbirth which guides my research. …

Who Was Watching Whom? A Reassessment Of The Conflict Between Germanicus And Piso, Fred K. Drogula
Who Was Watching Whom? A Reassessment Of The Conflict Between Germanicus And Piso, Fred K. Drogula
History & Classics Faculty Publications
Despite Tacitus’ insinuations to the contrary, Cn. Calpurnius Piso (cos. 7 b.c.e.) was no friend and loyal supporter of Emperor Tiberius. The emperor offered Piso the command of Syria in an effort to win over the political support of this prestigious-but-recalcitrant senator. As a safeguard should Piso attempt something treacherous in this powerful command, Tiberius gave Piso the province at a time when Germanicus Caesar—the emperor’s loyal adopted son and heir—would be in the East resolving a number of economic problems in the eastern provinces. Thus Piso was not sent to watch the prince, but to be watched by him.
