The phrase "the just Figure" - a quotation from Upon Appleton House - is the central theme of this thesis as it aptly describes Marvell's repeated use of shape, harmony and proportion to suggest morality and virtue. The poet's concern with geometrical imagery is conveyed by the word "figure", which also is another term for a metaphor or conceit. The word "just" suggests not only moral appropriateness, but also mathematical exactness or fit. The thesis consists of five chapters, each dealing with an aspect of the imagery of shape and form which pervades so many of Marvell's lyrics. The first chapter, "Moral Geometry", deals with the way in which Marvell uses the imagery of lines, angles and curves. In some poems the lines are curved, as in Upon the Hill and Grove at Bill-borrow, where the graceful downward curved line of the hill conveys Fairfacian humility. Symmetry and circularity are discussed in the second chapter. The poet uses the perfect shape of the circle to depict objects which convey a moral significance. Similarly, several of the lyrics are themselves quasi-circular with their closing lines echoing their openings. Chapter Three deals with liquid spheres. Marvell explores the nature, shape and texture of tears in poems such as Eyes and Tears and Mourning; and in On a Drop of Dew uses the shape of the dew drop to suggest the perfection of the heavenly realm from which it has been parted. In several of the lyrics, Marvell places a frame around his poems to create an enclosed world in which his poetic creations exist. These enclosed, or framed, worlds are discussed in Chapter Four. The final chapter, "Beyond The Frame", describes how some of the lyrics suggest a move from the world within to the world beyond the frame of the poem.This can either be a movement from confinement to release, or from the seen world to worlds unseen. Shape, harmony and proportion are the qualities which Marvell uses to convey morality and humility and a vision of the world based on what is, in the various senses of the word, "just".

This thesis considers time and narrative play in dream poems and framed narratives. It begins with a chapter on the history of time perceptions and time-telling, and explores how ideas about time influenced medieval writers. It also surveys some modern views on the history of time-measurement a nd its influences on culture and the collective consciousness. Chapter two, after analysing the treatment of time in the Roman de la Rose, surveys some of the ways in which modern criticism has evaluated and conceived the genre of secular dream literature that developed from the Roman de la Rose. Chapter three examines the innovative use of the convention of beginning a poem with a seasonal opening and theorises that this becomes a `language' open to adaptation and variation. Chapter four looks in detail at Froissart's L`Orloge amoureus and discusses the clock as a new object which, contrary to the views of cultural historians, was embraced by medieval writers, religious and secular, to symbolise a range of virtues, qualities and ideas. I argue that the clock inspired creativity rather than heralding a rationalisation of the mind that would stifle imaginative responses to this new technology. Chapter five explores metafictional and self-reflexive devices in Froissart's Joli Buisson de Jonece and Chaucer's House of Fame. I consider how these texts play with narrative time and sequence by writing the genesis of the text into the poem. Finally, chapter six examines ideas of closure in medieval dream poetry and looks specifically at the reciprocity and inconclusiveness of the Judgement poems of Guillaume de Machaut. Because the second poem reverses the decision of the first poem, it brings into question the authority of the text and the unity of the authorial voice.

Alinhados com a administração régia lusitana, influenciados pelas luzes, os produtores desta parte da América procuraram fomentar o cultivo de diferentes gêneros úteis à Fazenda Real. Através dos maços de população, contido no Arquivo Público de Estado de São Paulo, arrolei os principais agricultores e o cultivo de seus fogos. E, utilizando os documentos do Conselho Ultramarino, intentei verificar de que forma a Coroa influenciou nas residências paulistas e, ao mesmo tempo, como os principais potentados fizeram pedidos de privilégios para a Monarquia / In the 1790's decade the northern villages of the captaincy of São Paulo had expressive development of their agriculture. Aligned with the Portuguese Royal administration, influenced by the Enlightenment, the producers of this part of America sought to promote the cultivation of different genres useful to Real Fazenda. Through the Maços de população, contained in the Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo, I listed the main farmers and the cultivation of their farms. And, using the documents from the Conselho Ultramarino, I tried see how the Crown influenced households of São Paulo's population and at the same time as the main rulers made requests for privileges of the Monarchy

Composto, na primeira metade do século XIII, na Lombardia, por um anônimo pertencente à igreja de Desenzano ou também conhecida como igreja dos albanenses, o escrito figura-se como um esboço de teologia dualista. Nele, percebe-se um esforço do heresiarca, ainda nutrido pelo catolicismo, em definir a crença dos dois princípios - um bom, criador do mundo espiritual e eterno e outro mau, criador do mundo material e transitório -, a partir das autoridades escriturárias, sobretudo, mas também dos métodos intelectuais em voga nos círculos universitários. Propomo-nos nesta dissertação analisar a natureza do dualismo exposto pelo dissidente, bem como pontuar suas implicações com o método escolástico / The Liber de duobus principiis is one of the few sources left by medieval dualistic dissidents traditionally known Cathars. Composed in the first half of the thirteenth century in Lombardy, by an anonymous belonging to the church of Desenzano or also known as Church of albanenses, the composition figures as an outline on dualistic theology. In it, we find an effort by the heresiarch, still nourished by Catholicism, in defining the belief of the two principles - a good, the creator of the spiritual world and the eternal and the other bad, the creator of the material and transitional world – based mostly on the Catholic texts written at the time, but also on the intellectual methods in vogue in university circles. We intend in this paper to analyze the nature of dualism exposed by such dissident as well as its implications on scholastic methods
