Robert Penn Warren, historian, short story writer, teacher, critic, poet, and novelist, has received favorable attention from literary critics as well as the general reading public. This attention is merited, in part, by Warren's narrative skill and by his use of imagery. A study of his novels reveals that his narrative technique and his imagery are closely related to his interest in myth.

Glasgow, Faulkner, Warren and Caldwell, while probing "the human heart in conflict with itself," portrayed the South in transition. Each of them made substantial contribution to a deeper understanding of the region, its people and problems, and their work was only a part of the vast literary heritage established by their generation.

Master of Arts / Department of History / Charles Sanders / This thesis examines the relationships of Ulysses S. Grant and four of his subordinate generals. Ultimately, it is a command study of General Grant that analyzes how he managed his subordinates. The four individuals that this thesis examines are John Alexander McClernand, John Alexander Logan, James Birdseye McPherson, and Gouverneur Kemble Warren. These individuals provide an excellent balance between professional generals from West Point and volunteer generals with political backgrounds. The survey also balances the degrees of success experience by the four subordinates. The thesis traces each subordinate general during the Civil War, their relationship with Grant, and evaluates Grant’s management of each individual. Finally, the thesis identifies certain characteristics that Grant sought in a subordinate general. Taken as a whole, the thesis provides several lessons on the politics of the Union Army’s command structure during the Civil War, thoroughly covers the experiences of each individual subordinate while serving under Grant, and offers valuable insight on the overall generalship of Ulysses S. Grant. The thesis concludes that Grant was an effective manager of his subordinate generals and that his management also transcended his personal preference of West Point graduates. The thesis also identifies proper subordination, aggressive command style, the ability to effectively and efficiently carry out his orders, and trustworthiness as the qualities that Grant sought in his subordinates.

This dissertation is a study of the life, times and ideas of Josiah Warren, a neglected American social theorist who was connected, in one way or another, with several utopian communities in the United States. He has been variously described as the first American anarchist, the inventor of the first rotary press, a musical genius, and the first American to practice a pricing system based on labor-for-labor notes.Born in Boston in 1798, Warren came to Cincinnati with his wife, Caroline Cutter Warren, in 1820. There he established a small factory to produce a lard-burning lamp which he patented in 1821. Robert Owen of New Lanark, Scotland, came to Cincinnati in 1824 and made a speech extolling the virtues of his communistic community to be established in New Harmony, Indiana. After hearing Owen, Warren and his wife moved to New Harmony, where they remained until the latter part of 1826.Returning to Cincinnati, convinced that the reason for the failure of the New Harmony project was that a communism of property brought only discord, Warren formulated his philosophy of individualism, the sovereignty of the individual. He believed that only separation of interests, disconnection, reliance on individual responsibility, and self-government would bring about an equitable society.To prove his theory that there could be an equitable commerce in an equitable society, he opened a store at Fifth and Elm Streets in Cincinnati, which he called The Cooperative Magazine, but which was soon called The Time Store. Money was used for the original cost to the proprietor, a small percentage for overhead and for the actual labor of the storekeeper. A clock was used to determine the time consumed in the transaction. If a customer wished to give his labor note for a skill or product, there would bean equal exchange.The store was a success, and, wishing to extend his philosophy to a whole community, Warren travelled, first to Stark County, Ohio, and then to the area of the present city of Tuscarawas, Ohio, where he joined a group who had purchased 400 acres of land. The group suffered from influenza and malaria arid so abandoned the area.Warren, his wife and young son, George William Warren, returned to New Harmony. There Warren opened the second Time Store in 1842. He remained in New Harmony working on printing inventions, creating a new system of musical notation and printing his first book, Equitable Commerce. In 1847, he was able to join a newly formed community, Utopia, in Clermont (Claremount) County, Ohio. Utopia had no government, no laws, no police and was based on Warren's philosophy of voluntary subordination or mutual aid. This, coupled with the labor-for-labor system, was to create a sovereign individual.In 1850, Warren went to New York. There he met Stephen Pearl Andrews who was immediately interested in Warren's ideas. Together they founded and publicized a new town on Long Island to be named Modern Times. Modern Times did not grow beyond a village, but the no-rules system worked, until adverse publicity and the necessity for money to pay taxes ended the idyll.Warren had been writing, printing, and publishing his ideas since 1827. In 1833, he began his first periodical, The Peaceful Revolutionist. He re-printed Equitable Commerce and published Practical Details in Equitable Commerce in 1852. In the 1850's he published The Periodical Letter which came out more-or-less regularly until 1858. In 1863, he published True Civilization and continued his writing until his death in Cliftondale, Massachusetts, in 1874.Warren's writing deals primarily with his ideas for the improvement of mankind. He decries the impossibility for definition of abstract words but uses many to express himself. He uses folksy accounts of happenings or obscure references for his examples. However, his life arid ideas are unique, and, as John Stuart Mill said, he was a truly remark able American.

According to Warren Bennis with Robert J. Thomas Ph.D. research, cultivation of outstanding leadership is blend of past experience and self-conscious order come .This shaping process is called Crucible experiences. As the Manchu Dynasty's senior political and military commander, Zuo is undoubtedly the outstanding leadership representative. He organized Chu military to put down Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; forced in creating Fuzhou Ship Bureau to reinforce navy; lead the army expedition to the Northwest, to recover in Xinjiang; resisted the French army advancing along the southeast coast. Not too long in his political career, accomplished many achievements. How come is his leadership? Are there any points for modern leaders to learn? These are the questions this study to explore. Zuo as object, the study is through original and the results of previous studies for data collection. And then to lead the crucible theory as the framework, by qualitative research in the case studies and narrative research methods, etc. way to sum up the refined process of good leadership and proven crucible experience in the role of Zuo. And further settle objectives and plans which can be practiced of the modern leaders. Crucible experience is divided into three types namely¡§New territory¡¨,¡§Enforced reflection¡¨and¡§Disruption and loss¡¨. The study found that three kinds of crucible experience played key role by Zuo, lead he grown up enough to become good leaders. The three experiences of crucible advance nine life experiences can be deduced:¡§Self-examination¡¨,¡§Know who the next¡¨,¡§Intentions with people¡¨,¡§Overcome the fear¡¨,¡§Convince others¡¨,¡§Assumed the task¡¨,¡§Make difficult decisions¡¨,¡§Keep calm and solve mysteries¡¨, and¡§Organize a team¡¨.Finally, submit a practice checklist for plan to cultivate leadership.
