No full textOrganized by Henry Laurens. Excerpts from the talks of Henry Laurens, Perrine Simon-Nahum and Pierre Rosanvallon The author of a protean work, Ernest Renan was at once a writer, philologist, historian, and philosopher.

Reforming nationhood : England in the literature of the Tudor imperial age, 1509-1553
No full textThe thesis explores the relationship between empire and nationhood in the literature of the Royal Supremacy. In so doing, it contests the assumptions of the social historians Michel Foucault, Benedict Anderson, Jürgen Habermas, and Ernest Gellner - all of whom have dated the dawn of the nation-event on our Western political horizons from the end of the eighteenth century. The thesis invites important outcomes for our perception of early Tudor political culture, and for our wider appreciation of the origins of English national identity. It differentiates the Habsburg imperial idea from the Tudor ideology of empire inherited by Henry VIII upon his accession in 1509. It then distinguishes both these imperial ideologies from Henry's pretensions, as enshrined in the 1533 Appeals Act, to
empire in the English Church. Despite these differences between the Habsburg and Tudor ideologies of empire, each received identical expression in propaganda that identified both England and the Holy Roman Empire with Virgil's Golden Age. The first two chapters explore the Golden Age motif in pageantry produced for the joint London Entry of Henry
VIII and Charles V (1522), and for the Entry of Anne Boleyn in 1533. Chapter Two concludes that the function of the 1533 Entry as propaganda for the Royal Supremacy was
undermined by the similarities between its stagecraft and that of the 1522 Entry
Der neue Aesop: Eine Sammlung Fabeln von Lessing, Lichtwer, Pfeffel, etc
No full textBodemann puts this book in the family of Griset's Aesop by Rundell in 1869. She gives "ca. 1875" as its date. As Bodemann points out, the prose and verse texts correspond extensively to those in the Rundell edition. She also points out that the title-illustration here is new. Its accent is on the animals -- monkey, lion, bear and others -- having a good time. Bodemann lists fifteen authors used here; each is acknowledged after each of his contributions. The Griset illustrations, often not well printed, are well done here. Griset is a lot more fun when he is well printed!

Moral values in Ernest Hemingway’s “The Old Man and The Sea".
No full textA novel is created to express the author’s idea or feelings. In some novels there are moral values. The author makes the moral values to teach and delight the readers. Moral values are important in people’s life because they teach people how to live in the society. Moral values can create people to be better in surviving their life.
This study is to find out the moral values of “The Old Man and The Sea” novel by Ernest Hemingway and to find out how the author reveals those moral values throughout his novel. The writer formulates the following questions as follow: which moral values does Ernest Hemingway want to show through Santiago’s character in “The Old Man and The Sea” novel? And how does Ernest Hemingway communicate those moral values?
To answer those questions, the writer relies on moral values theory which is also supported by characterization theory. The theory of moral values is used to find out the moral values, while the theory of characterization to find out how the author communicates those moral values. This study is qualitative research. The analysis is using pragmatic approach proposed by M.H. Abrams. The purpose of pragmatic approach is to teach and delight the readers.
In analyzing this study, the first step of data collecting procedures was one straight through reading. To get the detailed understanding on moral values, then, the writer reread the novel for several times. At last, the writer quoted a dialogue and narration which reveal moral values.
The moral values found in the novel are courage, care, honesty, respect, and perseverance. Hemingway reveals the moral values through five characters’ attributes. They are character’s appearance, character’s words, character’s thoughts, character’s actions, and how other characters treat him.
At last, there are eleven values revealed through the character’s actions, seven values revealed through his words, eight values revealed through his thoughts, four values revealed through his appearance, and two values revealed through how other characters treat him. Hopefully, the study can be useful for both lecturers and students in understanding moral values in literature.

Aesop's Fables, Book 1
No full textHere is a happy occurrence. I could find almost no bibliographical information in this 8 x 11 pamphlet--except the name of one visual artist, J. Burton. I could also see from the information I had that I would face a challenging task, namely to find the other booklet(s) in the series, since this is Book 1. A routine check with earlier materials brought the happy event. It turns out that I had a similar experience in cataloguing Book 2 more than five years ago. Here the cover is red-and-gray heavy paper, as there it was green and gray. There are here 16 pages containing some twenty-seven fables. Burton's name is engraved into many of the illustrations. Griset does not seem to have any illustrations represented here, as he does in Book 2. My prizes here go to the illustrations for FWT and OR. The back cover again features the heron and some fish. Some of the pages are separating at the center. The copy is well worn. It once belonged to the Halifax Historical Society of Daytona Beach, FL
Steering Taste: Ernest Marsh, a study of private collecting in England in the early 20th Century
No full textThe primary aim of this thesis is to focus attention on the bourgeois, 'un-named' collector. The driving force behind most museum and art gallery collections of the Victorian and Edwardian period. British museum and art gallery records of gifted collections, bequests and loans usually note their donors. However, with a few notable exceptions, little is known about the collectors, their activities and motivation in making such presentations.
Using the interests and activities of the Quaker miller and collector Ernest Marsh (1843-1945) as a case study, this thesis explores how in the period 1890-1945 a collector came to be a key agent in the construction and manifestation of taste in British Applied Arts and to a lesser degree in the Fine Arts. Through primary visual and documentary evidence of the Marsh home, and reference to contemporary and later commentaries it considers the relative influences of husband and wife on decorating and furnishing the domestic interior, the evolution of taste, and, for Ernest Marsh, its impact upon his artistic interests within the public arena.
By examination of private papers, metropolitan and provincial art gallery and museum archives it also considers evidence of the inter-relationships between donors and curators, and the mutual advantages and disadvantages accruing to both, particularly focussing on the processes in bringing about changes in individual and institutional collecting policy. Further, by review of records of, in particular, the Contemporary Art Society and the Greenslade archive, it examines the degree to which private benefactors and those in public or semi-public office, acting as fund-raisers and spenders exercise influence through patronage of particular practitioners, choice of works and initiating new designs
The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.
No full textPhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and
works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author.
The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of
writing and reading.
Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties
by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work
of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and
the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness
toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two
distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar
and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and
on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The
dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to
appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well
as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive
to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers
by inventing new forms.
The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career,
followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of
reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies
she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary
method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading
of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It
is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation
as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably
reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of
inventiveness and familiarity
