A study of the principal historical characters of six of the dramatic works of alexander Dumas Pere, 1945
Get PDFThe fame of Alexandre Dumas, pere, rests on his superiority as a teller of historical and pseudo-historical tales. He also has talent in the art of writing plays, for he knows how to choose his subjects and events from among the great wealth of historical material, and how to give life and movement to his characters.It is the purpose of this study to examine critically the principal historical characters of six of Dumas* plays, characters whose lives offered to him interesting theatrical subjects, and to point out accuracies and inaccuracies of historical fact as found in them. The study is a continuation of the thesis: A Study of Four Historical Heroes of Alexandre Dianas Pere by Miss Naomi Mills Garrett (Atlanta University, 1937) and treats successively the characters of Christine, Paul Jones, Marguerite of Navarre, Catiline, Louis XIV, and Charles II, taken from six volumes of the author's Theatre Complet. The plays from which these characters are taken are not, in most cases, so well known as those studied by Miss Garrett, but have been selected for reasons of universality of subject and availability of material, rather than for mastery of dramatic technique, or as outstanding examples of Dumas* peculiar genius. The chronological order, followed is according to their date of presentation from Dumas* first dramatic work, Christine, in 1830 to L'Envers d' une Conspiration in 1860

Get PDFThe Hancock county agricultural demonstration project, 1971
No full textThe title of this proposal is the Hancock County Agricultural Demonstration Project. It is submitted to the Office of Economic Opportunity, The Economic Development Division. The project was investigated by Miss Charleyene Bloodworth, a Social Work student at Atlanta University. It is designed to run for a one-year period, beginning May 1, 1971, and ending April 31, 1972. The proposed budget is for $76,325.01, which includes a team of workers consisting of a Market Specialist, a Business Manager, two trainees, one secretary, and one truck driver.This project is structured to provide technical assistance to the Hancock County Growers and Marketing 3 Association, a farmer's cooperative. The objectives of the project are to increase the incomes of the farmers, their standards living and their business management skills by the expanded production of agricultural pro�ducts. It also has the objective of teaching the mem�bers the skills of market research and development.The farmers in Hancock County are small producers who realize the advantages of working together in their own behalf. They are aware that together, they can have a reasonable income provided they have the opportunity and the skill to produce what they can and have markets for their products. It is recognized that initially, techni�cal assistance is needed�but only to the extent that the farmers become capable of handling the enterprise themselves; for the overall goal is to make those who were once dependent on others, independent and prosperous businessmen. This goal of making the farmers self- sustaining makes the project significant
Afro-American artists--a handbook, 1985

Chapter I is an overview of American art which includes the Afro-American artists who came to prominence during each of the five periods from the nineteenth century to the present. The names, dates and birthplaces of one hundred and twelve Afro-American artists are included on tables in this chapter. Chapter II recounts biographical and career infor-mation on twenty Afro-American artists as exemplars of the range of life-styles and contributions of Afro-American artists. The artists so treated are: Edmonia Lewis, Robert S. Duncanson, Edward M. Bannister, Henry 0. Tanner, Aaron Douglas, Archibald Motley, Jr., William H. Johnson, Hale Woodruff, Richmond Barthe, Horace Pippin, Lois Mailou Jones, Beauford Delaney, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Jacob Lawrence, Alma Thomas, Charles White, Richard Hunt, Sam Gilliam, and Betye Saar. Chapter III presents twenty illustrations--one for each exemplar artist--with a brief discussion of the work illustrated. The discussion identifies the medium, style, technique, and place in the artist's oeuvre of the particular work. Publications where the painting or sculpture appears, and the permanent collection in which each work is located are included. Chapter IV contains a detailed discussion of resources for the study of Afro-American art, including critical and biographical books, exhibition catalogues, and bibliographical works. Tables in Chapter IV indicate representation of over five hundred Afro-American artists in selected exhibitions and in critical and biographical books on Afro-American art.
