71	Spirited Pioneer: The Life of Emma Hardinge Britten Howe, Lisa A 13 November 2015 (has links) Emma Hardinge Britten’s life encompassed and reflected many of the challenges and opportunities afforded to women in the Victorian world. This dissertation explores the multi-layered Victorian landscape through the life of an individual in order not only to tell her individual story, but also to gain a more nuanced understanding of how nineteenth-century norms of gender, class, religion, science and politics combined to create opportunities and obstacles for women in Britten’s generation. Britten was an actor, a musician, a writer, a theologian, a political activist, a magazine publisher, a spirit medium, a lecturer, and a Spiritualist missionary. Taking into account her multiple subjectivities, this dissertation relies on historical biography to contextualize Britten’s life in a number of areas, including Modern Spiritualism and political and civic engagement in the second half of the nineteenth century in Britain, the U.S., and Australia. The dissertation is organized thematically in a quasi-chronological manner. Time frames overlap between chapters, as Britten travels from the realm of politics to that of science and to religion. Each chapter reflects this transformation of Britten’s multiple intellectual and spiritual engagements, including performance, religion, politics and science. Emma Hardinge Britten challenged, whether consciously or not, gendered expectations by attaining a presence in a male-dominated public. Even though her life and accomplishments pre-date the New Woman of the fin de siècle, Britten established a successful career and her life creates a foreshadowing of the larger movements to come. She was an extraordinarily politically active woman whose influence reached three continents in her lifetime and beyond. biography Spiritualism Emma Hardinge Britten Victorian United States Victorian Britain Cultural History History of Gender History of Religion New Religious Movements Other Theatre and Performance Studies United States History Women's History

74	Beckett, Barthelme, and Vonnegut : finding hope in meaninglessness Britten, Alex M. 16 April 2012 (has links) This thesis is a study of the shifting philosophical trends in the works of Samuel Beckett, Donald Barthelme, and Kurt Vonnegut as representations of a greater shift from modernism to postmodernism. I have chosen to explore Beckett's plays Waiting for Godot and Krapp's Last Tape, Barthelme's short stories "Nothing: A Preliminary Account," "The New Music," and "Kierkegaard Unfair to Schlegal," and Vonnegut's book Timequake to see how each author seeks to find a new hope in the face of a collapsed causal system. This work is an examination of the form and content of each author's work as it pertains to their own philosophical standing and in relation to the other two authors' works. I argue that each author finds a different hope for humanity depending on their place among the philosophical trends during their time. / Graduation date: 2012 Barthelme Beckett Vonnegut Death of God Existentialist Modernism Postmodernism meaninglessness existentialism sublime humanism nothingness Kant Timequake Waiting for Godot Sixty Stories Krapp's Last Tape The New Music Kierkegaard Unfair to Schlegal Nothing: a Preliminary Account Palm Sunday structuralism Nietzsche humanist delight causal causality post-structuralism philosophical trends real symbolic semiotic Alex Britten Vonnegut, Kurt -- Philosophy Barthelme, Donald -- Philosophy Beckett, Samuel, 1906-1989 -- Philosophy Hope in literature
