The complete thesis in print form is available from the University of Adelaide Library. / This thesis seeks to establish architecture’s role in Blackstone’s life and intellectual development. It also endeavours to determine the extent to which the use of architectural metaphor in his great legal text might offer a new perspective on his reputation as a conservative and upon the very genesis of the ’Commentaries’. --p. ii. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1284121 / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of History and Politics, 2007

Women and the framed-novelle sequence in eighteenth-century England : clothing instruction with delightRozell, Caroline January 2012 (has links)
English women writers of the eighteenth century manifested enthusiasm for a form best described as a framed-novelle sequence, that is, a form in which conversations between characters/narrators are interspersed with embedded narratives. This thesis argues that the framed-novelle, with its distinctive juxtaposition of narrative and critical conversation facilitated feminine intervention in the period’s political, social, and literary debates. It demonstrates that Delarivier Manley, Jane Barker, Eliza Haywood, Sarah Scott, Sarah Fielding and Jane Collier used the framed-novelle sequence to develop a feminine but nonetheless authoritative socio-critical voice which allowed them not only to intervene in contemporary literary debates about the risks and rewards of reading fictions (especially with regards to the wider significance of the feminocentric and apparently trivial matter of amatory, romantic tales)but also to construct timely argument about the effect of fictional exemplarity on readers. Consideration of the literary and cultural contexts of the framed-novelle’s production, specifically its relation to other forms of narrative sequences such as the oriental tale and the fairy tale collection and to the period’s ideals of sociable conversation and critical practice also allows this thesis to identify the framed-novelle’s importance within the larger field of eighteenth-century literary development. Through close readings in each main chapter of an earlier and later framed-novelle by each author, this thesis explores the distinctiveness and internal cohesion of the framed-novelle as a subgenre, while also recognizing the particularity of each writer’s protofeminist perspective on their accumulation of feminocentric tales.

Thomas Chalmers' poor relief theories and their implementation in the early nineteenth centuryFurgol, Mary Theresa January 1987 (has links)
There are three main themes in this thesis. Firstly, an analysis of the development of Thomas Chalmers' poor relief theories. Secondly, an evaluation of their impact on his contemporaries at home and abroad. Lastly, the establishment of their degree of success when put into practice in the early nineteenth century. Chalmers' ideas on poverty and pauperism are usually presented as having been formed relatively early on in his life and remaining fairly static throughout. Using the surviving correspondence, Chalmers' diaries and writings, this thesis traces the origin of his poor relief ideas in Enlightmement concepts and demonstrates the impact of the various stages of Chalmers' career upon them. In particular, Chalmers' conversion to evangelical Christianity, his experiences as a minister in a large parish in industrialising Glasgow, his life as a professor in St. Andrews and Edinburgh, and his involvement in the Disruption of the Church of Scotland are all considered as regards their contribution to his poor relief solution. At the same time, the popularity of his poor relief ideas among many of his contemporaries is explored and explained as the product in some cases of similar educational background, common social problems facing many industrialising areas in the period, and Chalmers' influence as a teacher and writer. The major practical experiment in poor relief and pastoral care embarked upon by Chalmers in St. John's parish in Glasgow is described at some length. The surviving evidence among the parish papers and correspondence concerning the work of the agency of deacons, elders and teachers is examined. The emerging picture is of a parish that for a time had dedicated pas tors and lay helpers working to improve its moral, spiritual and material welfare, but which was successful only in terms of its educational facilities. For the first time it is proven that the poor relief side of the St. John's experiment was a failure, both financially and practically. The other attempts and their failure to implement Chalmers' poor relief theories in the nineteenth century are also considered, using the surviving kirk session records, parish histories and correspondence. In conclusion, Chalmers is shown by the end of his life to have concentrated more on evangelisation than political economy, the conversion and education of the people as opposed to their immediate material improvement.

Como instrumento de análise literária foram utilizadas as bases teóricas estabelecidas pela estilística, cujos principais teóricos consultados são J. Marouzeau e Pierre Guiraud. Buscaram-se, ainda, nas obras de Hênio Tavares, Catherine Fromilhague e Heinrich Lausberg, as informações mais relevantes a respeito das figuras linguagens e dos elementos necessários para a análise. Assim, a partir dessa perspectiva, pretendeu-se identificar os recursos empregados pelos autores para estabelecerem o sobrenatural em suas obras, pois ambas possuem bruxas, delírios, sangue e assassinatos. Contudo, nesse aspecto, são diferentes: O Asno de Ouro vincula-se ao gênero maravilhoso, e Smarra, ao frenético, nome que o gótico recebeu na tradição francesa, sendo que este antecipa algumas características presentes no fantástico, e aquele, algumas do gótico. Após terem sido traduzidos e analisados trechos do livro I, de O Asno de Ouro, bem como dos cinco capítulos de Smarra, apresentaram-se as relações entre as obras com a intenção de compará-las. Determinou-se, por fim, que, embora apresentem temática popular, as respectivas linguagens dos autores colaboram com a literariedade desses textos e, consequentemente, promovem sua poeticidade / Ce travail a visé à comparer deux oeuvres littéraires de différentes époques qui présentent des thèmes, des personnages et des espaces similaires, mais qui montrent chacune des particularités spécifiques: il s’agit de L’Âne d’or, d’Apulée, du IIème siècle, écrit en latin, et Smarra ou Les Démons de la Nuit, de Charles Nodier, du XIXème siècle français. Comme un outil d’analyse littéraire, on a utilisé les bases théoriques établies par la stylistique, dont les principaux théoriciens sont J. Marouzeau et Pierre Guiraud. On a cherché aussi dans les oeuvres d'Henio Tavares, Catherine Fromilhague et Heinrich Lausberg les informations les plus pertinentes sur les figures de style et sur les éléments nécessaires à l’analyse. Alors, dans cette perspective, puisque les deux oeuvres présentent des sorcières, des illusions, du sang et des assassinats, on y a cherché à identifier les ressources utilisées par les auteurs pour établir le surnaturel. Toutefois, à cet égard, elles sont différentes : L’Âne d’or est considérée comme appartenant au genre merveilleux et Smarra, au genre frénétique, nom qui a pris le gothique dans la tradition française; tandis que celui-ci a quelques caractéristiques du fantastique, celuilà présente celles du gothique. Après avoir été traduits et analysés des extraits du livre I de L'Âne d'or, ainsi que ceux des cinq chapitres de Smarra, ont été preséntés les rapports entre ces deux oeuvres dans le but de les comparer. On a déterminé, enfin, que, quoiqu’ils présentent une thématique populaire, le langage employé par chaque auteur confère de la littérarité à ces textes, les rendant donc poétiques
