"Positive" and "Negative" Characters in Joseph Conrad's FictionGolson, Julian A. January 1951 (has links)
This thesis is an attempt to understand Joseph Conrad's own concept of the "moral law"; what is meant by the terms "positive" and "negative," often used to describe the forces so obviously influencing his characters; and the characters, the action, and the endings as proofs of Conrad's belief in such a law and such forces.

Some Women in Dreiser's Life and Their Portraits in His NovelsCrimmings, Constance Deane 12 1900 (has links)
The rise of naturalism in American letters was born out of a reaction against romanticism by writers such as Theodore Dreiser, Hamlin Garland, Stephen Crane, Frank Norris, Jack London, Upton Sinclair and Robert Herrick, who attempted to rid the American novel of romanticism by delving deeper into life's truths than did the realists Mark Twain, William Dean Howells and Henry James. The naturalists objected to the limited subject matter of the realists; they focused their attention on "slums, crime, illicit sexual passions, exploitation of man by man"2 and other actualities of the world. George Perkins outlined other distinctions between realism and naturalism in American literature.3 He describes nineteenth-century realism, 1870-1890, as represented by writers who created a world of truth by keeping actuality clearly in mind. The emphasis was on the following: 1. Using settings that were thoroughly familiar to the writer. 2. Emphasizing the norm of daily experience in plot construction. 3. Creating ordinary characters and studying them in depth. 4. Adhering to complete authorial objectivity. 5. Accepting their moral responsibility by reporting the world as it truly was.

"Local Characters": Eccentricity and the North East in the Nineteenth Century.Gregory, James R.T.E. January 2005 (has links)
No / This essay explores some of the social, political, and cultural meanings of 'eccentricity' in nineteenth-century England. It does this through examining the treatment of 'local characters' extensively recorded in North-East histories, newspapers, and ballads, and depicted in visual material in the period c. 1800¿1901. The first part examines the typology emerging from these media; and demonstrates how mental and physical abnormality, transgression of social mores, and odd beliefs, were classed as 'eccentric'. A study of representations of eccentricity, many of which were commercially available, forms the second part, supported by illustrations relating to popular figures such as William Purvis, or Blind Willy, of Newcastle. Eccentricities were identified across the region, in rural areas as well as in the 'public spaces' of Durham, Sunderland, and Newcastle. The final part relates this chronicling of odd characters to Victorian culture; the region's social history; and local patriotism across the period, but especially the late Victorian period, when the popularity of local history ensured a prominent place for eccentrics as emblematic of the quaint past in the North-East (and, it is indicated, elsewhere). Finally, the uses of eccentric characters are briefly discussed more broadly in terms of moralism and stigmatism.

Towards a simplified taxonomy of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik. (Brassicaceae)Aksoy, A., Hale, William H.G., Dixon, Jean M. January 1999 (has links)
Yes / Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik. is a species with a cosmopolitan distribution which shows considerable
morphological variation. Numerous authors have recognised widely differing numbers of varieties, microspecies
or other infraspecific subdivisions (segregates) of this species. In an attempt to clarify this situation,
we grew British material of the species under controlled conditions through to the F) generation to remove
environmental variation, and assessed the plants on the basis of a range of morphological criteria, namely leaf
shape, capsule size and also length of time taken to flower. Analysis of these characteristics consistently
produced four basic groups, which had been previously described. Herbarium specimens could also nearly
always be assigned to one of these groups. Limited chromosome counts suggest that two of these groups are
diploid and two are tetraploid. We suggest this fourfold division into broad groups reflects the major genetic
separations within the species, but that there is also considerable phenotypic plasticity shown by C. bursapastoris
in response to factors such as shade or trampling. These four groups appear to differ in their
geographic.al distribution in Britain.
KEYWORDS: Shepherd's Purse, morphological variation, leaf characters, capsule characters, chromosome
