A Study Of The Life And Works Of Robert Treat Paine, Jr., Ruth Thorndike Clough
A Study Of The Life And Works Of Robert Treat Paine, Jr., Ruth Thorndike Clough
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
To the student of American history, the name of Robert Treat Paine is still one to be conjured with: to the student of American literature, the name of Robert Treat Paine, Jr. usually means little more than a patriotic song, Boston culture in the late eighteenth century, and the faint but definite odor of scandal which still surrounds the ghost of the man who for a full decade of his life was lavishly courted by the satellites of Della Crusca in America, as poet par excellence, dramatic critic, and editor of a frankly partisan newspaper, the Federal Orrery.

The Madrigal., Frank B. Martin
The Madrigal., Frank B. Martin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The madrigal is the oldest of concerted secular forms. It had its origin in northern Italy, perhaps as early as the twelfth century. The early compositions had none of the elaborate devices which characterize the madrigals of the sixteenth century. Francesco di Landino, (1325-1390), an Italian, and the leading musician of the Florentine school of his time, wrote a madrigal, Tu che l'opera d'altrul, an extract of which appears in Fellowes' English Madrigal (1) Composers. Landino's life is interesting. He was blind from youth, but was organist for many years in the church of San Lorenzo in Florence. His madrigal …
The Platonic Lover Of Elizabethan Poetry., Dorcas Douglass Ray
The Platonic Lover Of Elizabethan Poetry., Dorcas Douglass Ray
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Just what is the meaning of Platonic love? It is a term that has caught the attention of scholars, poets, and plain men, in many countries and during many centuries. Perhaps its wide appeal accounts for the varied and tortuous shapes its meaning has assumed as it has passed through the inquisitive and often callous fingers of the multitudes. It is a term applied popularly today to a kind of abstract, passionless friendship, which, to the practical-minded American, can exist only in theory. Few who use the term Platonic love or Platonic friendship have paused first to read the pages …
Machiavelli And Shakespeare., Edith M. Stark
Machiavelli And Shakespeare., Edith M. Stark
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A brief introduction to Nicola Machiavelli is necessary for a better understanding of the influence he exerted upon English thought. He was a descendant of old Florentine nobility and lived from 1469 to 1527. Little is known of his early years and education, but it is evident from his works that he read widely in the Latin and Italian classics, particularly the Roman histories, and that he was a student of men and things. His first entrance into public service was made in 1494. He was made clerk of the second chancery and four years later was appointed second chancellor …
Formal Retraction Or Literary Repentance In The Elizabethan Age., Irene B. Rhoads
Formal Retraction Or Literary Repentance In The Elizabethan Age., Irene B. Rhoads
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Before entering upon a discussion of those writers of the Elizabethan Age whose works present specific instances of Personal Retractation, let us turn our attention to the problem in general and try to find out why writers of this age and of earlier times felt it necessary to repent of their literary efforts. Some critics may say that retractation was merely a literary convention; and why bother about its beginnings, sources, et cetera? Others may have the opinion that it was a personal trait, only a means of satisfying some peculiar whim or fancy of the author. Some may go …
The Renaissance Paradox In Spenser., Juretta V. Bamber 1898-1981
The Renaissance Paradox In Spenser., Juretta V. Bamber 1898-1981
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The complex phenomenon known as the Renaissance stimulated man with an insatiable curiosity in all things that had to do with human life and activity. The powerful searchlight of curiosity was especially turned on the ancient world – its learning, art, and literature – with a resultant diffusion of light so widespread that its influence is incalculable. In Italy, which in the fourteenth century saw the dawn of the Renaissance, “a glorious sumptuousness” of life prevailed. Ostentation, manifesting itself in brilliant dress, in beautiful homes, in wealth, and in magnificence of every kind, characterized the new movement. The Renaissance insisted …
A History Of The Theatre In Louisville., Mary Martha Dietz
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 …
