The Relationship of Robert Greene and Thomas Nashe, 1588-1590: An Episode in the Development of English Prose FictionKoenig, Gregory R. (Gregory Robert) 12 1900 (has links)
Robert Greene began collaborating with Thomas Nashe as English prose was turning away from the style and subject matter of Lyly's Euphues (1578) and Sidney's Arcadia (1590). When Greene and Nashe came together in London, the two writers appear to have set the tone for the pamphleteers who would establish the realistic tradition that contributed to the development of the novel. Greene's Menaphon (1589) may be a satire representing his abandonment of courtly fiction. The influence of the Marprelate controversy is reflected in Greene's appeals to the pragmatic character of the emerging literate middle class. Greene's Vision (1592) appears to be Greene's affirmation of his critical philosophy at a point of stress in the authors' relationship.

The Reluctant Partisan: Nathanael Greene's Southern Campaigns, 1780-1783Liles, Justin S. 05 1900 (has links)
Nathanael Greene spent the first five years of the American Revolution serving as a line and field officer in the Continental Army and developed a nuanced revolutionary strategy based on preserving the Continental Army and a belief that all forces should be long-service national troops. He carried these views with him to his command in the southern theater but developed a partisan approach due to problems he faced in the region. Greene effectively kept his army supplied to such an extent that it remained in the field to oppose the British with very little outside assistance. He reluctantly utilized a partisan strategy while simultaneously arguing for the creation of a permanent Continental force for the region.

Mapping New Jerusalem : space, national identity and power in British espionage fiction 1945-79Goodman, Samuel Geoffrey January 2012 (has links)
This thesis argues that the espionage fiction of Graham Greene, Ian Fleming and John le Carré published between 1945 and 1979 illustrates a number of discontinuities, disjunctions and paradoxes related to space, sovereignty and national identity in post-war Britain. To this effect, the thesis has three broad aims. Firstly, to approach the representations of space and sovereign power in the work of these authors published during the period 1945-1979, examining the way in which sovereign power produces space, and then how that power is distributed and maintained. Secondly, to analyse the effect that sovereign power has on a variety of social and cultural environments represented within spy fiction and how the exercise of power affects the response of individuals within them. Thirdly, to establish how the intervention of sovereign power within environments relates to the creation, propagation and exclusion of national identities within each author’s work. By mapping the application of sovereign power throughout various environments, the thesis demonstrates that the control of environment is inextricably linked to the sovereign control of British subjects in espionage fiction. Moreover, the role of the spy in the application of sovereign power reveals a paradox integral to the espionage genre, namely that the maintenance of sovereign power exists only through the undermining of its core principles. Sovereignty, in these texts, is maintained only by weakening the sovereign control of other nations.

A Study of the Treatment of Time in the Plays of Lyly, Marlowe, Greene, and PeeleFussell, Mildred 06 1900 (has links)
Because Shakespeare borrowed so many ideas and devices from other writers, we wonder whether he also borrowed the trick of double time from some of his predecessors; therefore one of the purposes of this study is to discover whether or not this device was original with Shakespeare. In this study I have considered the works of John Lyly, Christopher Marlowe, Robert Greene, and George Peele because these four seem to have influenced Shakespeare more than did any of the other of his immediate predecessors. To discover what influence, if any, these men had upon Shakespeare ts treatment of time is not, however, the only purpose of this study; for I am also interested in the characteristics of the works of these men for their own values, independent of any influence which they may have had on the works of Shakespeare.

Lola G. Baldwin and the Professionalization of Women's Police Work, 1905-1922Myers, Gloria Elizabeth 12 February 1993 (has links)
This thesis traces the emergence of the American policewomen's movement through the career of Portland, Oregon's Lola Greene Baldwin, the first such officer hired by a municipality. It recounts the conditions which marked Baldwin's transition from a volunteer moral purity worker to a professional urban vice detective. The thesis connects Baldwin and her new profession to the Progressive era's social hygiene impulse. It considers how government absorption of the social hygiene agenda influenced the enforcement attitudes and methods of the early policewoman. Further, this work looks at the way Baldwin functioned within the bureaucracies and political structures of her environment. Baldwin's biographical history was obtained from her answers on a federal civil service application. The detective's original police department logs were a key element in researching her activities. Correspondence from the Portland city archives between the policewoman and five mayors and numerous police chiefs enhanced the information from her daily entries, as did a thorough perusal of contemporary newspaper items. Progressive-era city ordinances, reports of the Portland Vice Commission, and various memoranda of city council and local social hygiene committees also proved valuable. Miscellaneous personal documents and newspaper stories covering Baldwin's federal policing service during World War I were bolstered by articles from Social Hygiene. Baldwin professionalized women's police work by convincing Portland to pay for vice prevention and investigation formerly sponsored by private charities. She developed professional standards and procedures such as detailed case files, periodic statistical reports, and a specialized parole system for female delinquents. The female vice officer freely offered her ideas to other cities and helped form a national association of policewomen in 1912. Baldwin adopted social hygiene ideas through authoring laws which segregated females from sources of immorality in amusement and employment environments. The policewoman also championed detention homes for sexually precocious young women and special facilities for venereal cases. She fully accepted, moreover, social hygiene doctrine that prostitution was a medical as well as moral threat mandating complete abolition. When city authorities lagged in pursuing prostitution abatement, Baldwin helped establish a vice commission which forced appropriate action. National recognition of the female detective's vice policing won her appointment as a World War I federal military training facility protective agent. This work involved the detention of thousands of West Coast women and girls on mere suspicion of immorality. Baldwin returned to her police job in Portland after her federal task ended in late 1920. Used to the complete social control afforded by martial law, however, the policewoman became discouraged by postwar moral laxity in the Rose City, and retired in early 1922. The American urban policewomen's movement was engendered as a government effort to maintain traditional female purity in the modernizing environment of the Progressive era. Baldwin personified the transition from religious-based notions which relied on moral suasion to methods of modern professional social control which codified traditional standards and made them relevant to prevailing cultural and social conditions. The policewoman used the agenda and momentum of the social hygiene movement to empower herself and her new profession. Baldwin took advantage of growing acceptance of women as necessary partners in the management of a "parental" state. She embodied elements of "social feminism" because she believed that females were inherently different and needed state protection. Her insistence on professional equality with male cohorts, however, contradicted this pattern, as did her support of woman suffrage. Although Baldwin never reconciled to the vast cultural changes of her time, she left a proud legacy of professionalism to her daughters in modern law enforcement.

The Concept of Human Nature in G. Greene's Writing / Žmogaus prigimties sąvoka G. Greene'o kūrybojeKazmina, Jekaterina 16 August 2007 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore the concept of human nature in the writing of the British author Graham Greene and the ways it is revealed in his works. Two novels by G. Greene were subjected to analysis – The Heart of the Matter (1948) and A Burnt-Out Case (1960). The research method chosen for the study was textual analysis. The research demonstrated that according to Greene, it is impossible to draw a clear line between good and evil. The characters that seem to be failures – in comparison with what they wished and hoped to do – are seen as being nearer to God than those more successful in worldly ways and in the end the greatest sinners turn out to be the truest believers. The research also demonstrated that to reveal his vision of the human nature, Greene applied paradox mixed with severe irony and social satire. Further studies must be conducted in order to go deeper into certain aspects of the human nature in other G. Greene’s fictional works. / Savo kūriniuose britų rašytojas G. Greene‘as nagrinėjo daugybę socialinių, filosofinių bei religinių klausimų, tokių kaip nuodemė, išganymas ir pasmerkimas, blogis ir jo kilmė, išdavystė, fizinė ir dvasinė kančia, vaikystės nekaltumo praradimas, ir t.t. Tačiau labiausiai Greene‘ą traukė paslaptinga žmogaus prigimtis, vis kitaip pasireiškianti įvairiausiose situacijose bei santykiuose. Jo turbūt svarbiausias klausimas – Kaip gali žmogus, gyvenantis netobulame pasaulyje, išlikti sąžiningas bei išsaugoti garbę? – apibrėžia pagrindinį šio tyrimo klausimą: kas, pagal Greene‘ą, yra žmogaus prigimtis? Kaip ji pasireiškia jo kūryboje? Klausimo suformulavimas leidžia apibrėžti tyrimo tikslą – ištirti žmogaus prigimties sąvoką G. Greene‘o kūryboje ir tai, kaip ji atsiskleidžia jo kūriniuose. Analizei buvo pasirinkti du G. Greene‘o kūriniai – „Būties esmė“ (1948) ir „Neišdildoma žymė“ (1960). Šie romanai buvo pasirinkti dėl jų brandumo bei gylaus žvilgsnio į žmogaus prigimties gelmes.
Norint pasiekti užsibrėžtą tikslą buvo numatyta:
ištirti G. Greene‘o filosofinius ir estetinius požiūrius, taip pat pateikti periodo po Antrojo Pasaulinio karo bendro istorinio ir literatūrinio fono analizę ir nustatyti, kokios įtakos turėjo minėti elementai žmogaus prigimties sąvokos pasireiškimui pairinktuose kūriniuose;
pateikti pasirinktų romanų analizę;
atskleisti G. Greene‘o žmogaus prigimties sąvoką;
nustatyti, kokios stilistinės bei kontekstinės priemonės buvo naudojamos žmogaus... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]
