Ford Madox Ford's Good Soldier in a Modern World

Hinds, Constance 01 April 2010 (has links)
Ford often wrote about virtuous gentlemen ruined by the modern society he saw developing around him. While Ford Madox Ford was writing The Good Soldier, ther was a sense of displacement in England and the class system was starting to crumble. Edward Ashburnham, one of the two male protagonists in The Good Soldier, is described as a Chevalier Bayard and there are definitely some similarities between Ashburnham and Bayard. For instance, both men lived during periods of great societal change and both faithfully served their countries. However, the feudal lifestyle that was appropriate for Bayard in the fifteenth-century is unavailable to Ashburnham in the twentieth-century. In The Good Soldier, Ford used the old ideals of chivalry and courtly love codes to produce a character, Edward Ashburnham, who represents the loss of traditional values in a modern society.

The First Lady of Washington City: Margaret Bayard Harrison Smith, Family, and Politics in the Early Republic

Thweatt, William Denton 05 1900 (has links)
Margaret Bayard Harrison Smith was a prominent member of early Washington City society from the time she and her husband, Samuel Harrison Smith, moved to the blossoming capital in 1800 until her death in 1844. As a longtime resident of Washington, Margaret spent most of her adult life navigating the unique socio-political waters of the capital and developing friendships with many of the most prominent politicians of her time. Mrs. Smith's writings provide firsthand accounts of several important political events including Congress' role in the election of 1800, Jefferson's first inauguration, Madison's first inauguration, and the destruction left by the British after the siege of Washington. Her writings also provide a picture of early undeveloped Washington City, where grand public buildings were largely surrounded by wilderness and connected by muddy roads. While this work looks at the social and political environment that Margaret Smith experienced, it also examines many of the personal concerns that frequented Mrs. Smith's writings. Margaret's views on educating her children, interacting with servants, interacting with the enslaved population of Washington, and dealing with feelings of isolation, due to the distance from her family, are frequently addressed in her letters. Focusing on these aspects of Mrs. Smith's writings allows for a greater examination of the societal norms of her day about gender, class, and race. While Margaret's letters and commonplace books have often been used to examine Washington society and the lives of her prominent friends, there is no biography of Mrs. Smith herself. This dissertation provides the first biography of Margaret Bayard Harrison Smith from her birth until the end of the War of 1812.

The Independent Candidate, Campaign '80: A Content Analysis of the Coverage of John B. Anderson in Three News Magazines

Deahl, Maureen E. 05 1900 (has links)
This study seeks to determine, through content analysis, whether there was evidence in news magazines during the 1980 presidential campaign to support the claim that Anderson was a "media-created candidate." Studying weekly issues of Time, Newsweek, and U. S. News & World Report from April 28, 1980 through November 3, 1980, it was found that (a) Anderson received 17 per cent of the total campaign coverage, compared to Reagan's 42 per cent and Carter's 37 per cent, and (b) overall, Anderson's coverage was mildly negative in all magazines. The study concludes that rather than "creating" Anderson, news magazines may have undercut his viability by restricting the length and number of stories about him.

Representações da integração cultural das comunidades de origem alemã no Rio Grande do Sul do estado novo : um estudo das obras Um rio imita o reno e Longe do reno

Weber, Paula Cristina 23 August 2013 (has links)
Esta dissertação analisa a representação das comunidades de descendentes de imigrantes alemães no Rio Grande do Sul, durante o período do Estado Novo, sob a ótica de duas obras literárias de autores gaúchos, escritas nesse período: Um rio imita o Reno, de Vianna Moog, publicada em 1939, e Longe do Reno – Uma resposta a Vianna Moog, de Bayard Mércio, publicada em 1940. É realizada uma discussão sobre a forma como esses imigrantes eram percebidos em sua relação com a sociedade brasileira, ou seja, se havia uma integração desses grupos na cultura do país e na defesa dos interesses nacionais, ou se eles ainda permaneciam vivendo a cultura de seus antepassados e mantendo relações com a política alemã. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-07-03T16:28:17Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Paula Cristina Weber.pdf: 1939225 bytes, checksum: 777491c7f741eb15a5fb3366bc367ebd (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-07-03T16:28:17Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Paula Cristina Weber.pdf: 1939225 bytes, checksum: 777491c7f741eb15a5fb3366bc367ebd (MD5) / This dissertation examines the representation of communities of German immigrant descendants in Rio Grande do Sul, during the Estado Novo, from the perspective of two literary works written by authors from this state, during the period: Um rio imita o Reno (“A river imitates the Reno”), by Vianna Moog, published in 1939, and Longe do Reno – uma resposta a Vianna Moog (“Far from Reno – an answer to Vianna Moog”), by Bayard Mércio, published in 1940. Is held a discussion about how these immigrants were perceived in their relationship with Brazilian society; in other words, whether there was an integration of these groups into the culture of the country and in the defense of national interests, or if they were still living the culture of their ancestors and maintaining relationships with German politics.
