The method followed makes use of a survey of this problem as it has been dealt with by representative thinkers since the Reformation in order to trace historical influences upon Baillie and to locate his methods and conclusions among the various alternatives dealt with by modern thinkers. The study is developed by reference to the sizeable body of Baillie's writings and by the commentaries on his thought. Following the systematic development of his understanding of "the sense of the presence of God," revelation, faith, reason, and the stats of theological propositions, an evaluative chapter sets down notable strengths and weaknesses as they are determined by criteria adopted at the beginning of the chapter. The study closes with a succinct list of conclusions [TRUNCATED] / 2031-01-01

Much women's writing in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries attempts to depict other women visually through textual description, use of optical devices, and discussion of bodies and appearances. This thesis argues that they were trying to see and show other women as a way of understanding themselves and each other by examining intersections between visual culture and text through mirrors, miniatures, and portraits. This thesis demonstrates how these works reflect larger shifts in the optical unconscious of the eighteenth century. I focus on works by Joanna Baillie and Louisa Stuart Costello, who theorize the viewing process in their prose and manipulate the viewing process in their drama and poetry, respectively. By manipulating the gaze these authors show readers new ways of seeing women, and subsequently, themselves, and seek to make them conscious of their optical unconscious; their works become the optical devices that allow this to happen. / McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts / English / MA / Thesis
