Hanging in the balance: the lure of Nietzsche's Apollonian and Dionysiac impulses in Kate Chopin's The AwakeningUnknown Date (has links)
This thesis represents a study of Kate Chopin's groundbreaking novel, The Awakening. Further, it applies Nietzsche's principles of Dionysiac and Apollonian impulses to the literary analysis of the novel. I argue that the protagonist of the novel, Edna Pontellier, embarks on a quest to determine how she may live an authentic life - that is, a life whereby she is true to herself above all others. Ultimately, her search for self is overwhelmed by the imbalance of the Apollonian and Dionysiac impulses against which she struggles. Because Edna cannot successfully mediate this struggle, she reaches the conclusion that she may only attain a truth to her self if she finds that truth in death. / by Jessica Salamin. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2009. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

The writings of Louisa Tuthill : cultivating architectural taste in nineteenth-century America / Cultivating architectural taste in nineteenth-century AmericaAllaback, Sarah January 1993 (has links)
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, June 1993. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 206-218). / This dissertation discusses the architectural writings of Louisa Tuthill ( 1798-1879), a little known nineteenth-century American author. Tuthill has been acknowledged for her History of Architecture from the Earliest Times (1848), the first history of architecture published in the United States. However, her numerous other books dealing with architecture have been largely ignored. As early as 1830, Tuthill published Ancient Architecture, a concise history of architectural origins for young readers. This volume was followed by three fictional works for juveniles describing the adventures of model Americans--an architect, an artist and a landscape architect. Tuthill also edited The True and the Beautiful, the first American collection of selections from Ruskin's work (reprinted twenty three times). Like her famous contemporaries, Downing and Ruskin, Tuthill associates architectural principles with moral qualities. Her educational books move beyond the sophisticated architectural and social theory of such authorities by presenting aesthetic ideas in popular literary forms for the common reader. While a tradition of male architectural writers addressed eager builders and wealthy patrons, Tuthill wrote for the American public of all classes and ages. In contrast to the tradition of builders' guides and style books, Tuthill contributed histories, advice books, children's stories and edited collections. When the History is placed within the context of Tuthill's other writings r it becomes part of a larger plan for elevating national morals, a plan requiring education in architecture history. / by Sarah Allaback. / Ph.D.

Expressed silence: a study of the metaphorics of word in selected nineteenth-century American textsWerder, Carmen Marie 05 1900 (has links)
Expressed Silence: A Study of the Metaphorics of Word
in Selected Nineteenth-Century American Texts
This dissertation explores the patterned use of certain
“metaphors of word”——images of reading, writing, listening, and
speaking——in four American texts: Emerson’s Nature, Thoreau’s
Walden, Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter, and Melville’s Moby Dick.
Assumed in my discussion is the modern view of metaphor as a
cognitive device used, not for mere stylistic ornament, but for
creating a certain mental perspective. Based on the
perspectival view and on the experiential—gestalt account of
metaphor, the structures of these metaphors of word are examined
in order to discern the systematic nature of their argument and
to determine the cultural and historical reasons why language
imagery, and not some other type of imagery, was chosen to
represent this argument. After surveying the cultural
influences of democracy, mercantilism, Romanticism, and
Calvinism, I characterize the metaphoric systems of each text
and then move on to a closer study of the role of silence within
these systems.
From this analysis, I conclude that these nineteenth—
century texts reflect a shift away from the book toward the
voice as a predominant symbol, and away from writing toward
speaking as a privileged metaphor. Language imagery works to
represent ways of knowing, so that linguistic and epistemic
concerns become inextricably intertwined. The process of using language operates as a metaphor for the process of gaining
knowledge. In this metaphorics of word, silence emerges as a
particularly striking metaphor in the way that it expresses the
coalescence of being and knowing, the realization that we know
what we know. In this scheme, metaphors of word structure ways
of understanding, and the expressed silence metaphor highlights
the way interior speech can function in the discernment of
knowledge. Ultimately, I contend that the perspective provided
by this nineteenth—century metaphorics of word forecasts the
modern view of rhetoric as epistemic. By employing linguistic
action as a
figure for representing epistemic action, a
metaphorics of word promotes an understanding of rhetoric’s
primary purpose as the interrogation of truth.

An examination of the life and thought of Zina Fay Peirce, an American reformer and feministAtkinson, Norma P. January 1984 (has links)
Zina ray Peirce (1336-1923), the first wife of Cnarles S. Peirce, America’s great philosopher, was a woman who devoted her life to cause of improving the position of women in America. This study examines her specific accomplishments as a reformer; attitudes about women in nineteenth-century America and the effect such attitudes had on a woman of strong intellect and character; and the influence that she and her husband had on each other.Her early and conditioned interest was to promote the idea of freeing women from domestic drudgery so that they could pursue their own talents and make themselves economically and politically independent. Although not a suffragist or a believer in the equality of the sexes, she believed that women had their own spheres of abilities and interests, as men did. Therefore, she promoted the concepts of cooperative housekeeping and of women voting for other women to represent them in a separate legislative body. The first of these ideas led to the establishment of a cooperative laundry in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1870; the second, to her participation in a Woman’s Parliament which met in New York City in 1869. Both of these endeavors are examined at length, as are her views on abolition, marriage, immigration, education, and sexual mores.The sources of information include numerous letters which she wrote; letters written by others about her; and her published works, which include a novel, pamphlets, and journal and newspaper articles.
