FAMOUS AFFINITIES OF HISTORY THE ROMANCE OF DEVOTION VOLUME I THE STORY OF ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA Of all love stories that are known to human history, the love story of Antony and Cleopatra has been for nineteen centuries the most remarkable. It has tasked the resources of the plastic and the graphic arts. It has been made the theme of poets and of prose narrators. It has appeared and reappeared in a thousand forms, and it appeals as much to the imagination to−day as it did when Antony deserted his almost victorious troops and hastened in a swift galley from Actium in pursuit of Cleopatra. The wonder of the story is explained by its extraordinary nature. Many men in private life have lost fortune and fame for the love of woman. Kings have incurred the odium of their people, and have cared nothing for it in comparison with the joys of sense that come from the lingering caresses and clinging kisses. Cold−blooded statesmen, such as Parnell, have lost the leadership of their party and have gone down in history with a clouded name because of the fascination exercised upon them by some woman, often far from beautiful, and yet possessing the mysterious power which makes the triumphs of statesmanship seem slight in comparison with the swiftly flying hours of pleasure. But in the case of Antony and Cleopatra alone do we find a man flinging away not merely the triumphs of civic honors or the headship of a state, but much more than thesethe mastery of what was practically the worldin answer to the promptings of a woman's will. Hence the story of the Roman triumvir and the Egyptian queen is not like any other story that has yet been told. The sacrifice involved in it was so overwhelming, so instantaneous, and so complete as to set this narrative above all others. Shakespeare's genius has touched it with the glory of a great imagination. Dryden, using it in the finest of his plays, expressed its nature in the title "All for Love." The distinguished Italian historian, Signor Ferrero, the author of many books, has tried hard to eliminate nearly all the romantic elements from the tale, and to have us see in it not the triumph of love, but the blindness of ambition. Under his handling it becomes almost a sordid drama of man's pursuit of power and of woman's selfishness. Let us review the story as it remains, even after we have taken full account of Ferrero's criticism. Has the world for nineteen hundred years been blinded by a show of sentiment? Has it so absolutely been misled by those who lived and wrote in the days which followed closely on the events that make up this extraordinary narrative? In answering these questions we must consider, in the first place, the scene, and, in the second place, the psychology of the two central characters who for so long a time have been regarded as the very embodiment of unchecked passion. As to the scene, it must be remembered that the Egypt of those days was not Egyptian as we understand the

Rose University of Cambridge Running head: Nature in the Age of Revolutions The construction and distribution of books containing large copperplate images was of great importance to practitioners of natural history during the eighteenth century. This article examines the case of the botanist and President of the Royal Society Sir Joseph Banks (1743– 1820), who attempted to publish a series of images based on the botanical illustrations produced by Georg Forster (1754–1794) on Cook’s second voyage of exploration (1772–75) during the 1790s. The analysis reveals how the French Revolution influenced approaches to constructing and distributing works of natural history in Britain, moving beyond commercial studies of book production to show how Banks’s political agenda shaped the taxonomic content and distribution of this publication. Matters were complicated by Forster’s association with radical politics and the Revolutionary ideologies attached to materials collected in the Pacific by the 1790s. Banks’s response to the Revolution influenced the distribution of this great work, showing how British loyalist agendas interacted with scientific practice and shaped the diffusion of natural knowledge in the revolutionary age. In the spring of 1790, the naturalist Georg Forster, accompanied by the young Alexander von Humboldt, visited the celebrated range of natural history collections in London.1 A main calling point was the library of the President of the Royal Society, Sir Joseph Banks, at 32 Soho Square, a meeting place for natural historians from across Europe.2 Although Humboldt held good relations with Banks, Forster was less complimentary.

It was submitted to the faculty of The Honors College and was accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences. SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: ____________________________ Dr. Christopher Ely ____________________________ Dr. Douglas McGetchin ____________________________ Dean, Wilkes Honors College ____________________________ Date ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe an enormous debt to my advisor Dr. Christopher Ely for all the advice, time, and encouragement he gave me. Without his help, I would not have been able to start over my thesis from scratch and be able to complete it in less than a semester. I know I frustrated him beyond words at times with all my questions and the time constraints, but never once did he lack reassuring comments. Special thanks goes out to Dr. Douglas McGetchin who came to my need during the last few weeks of the semester to read through my thesis and provide me with constructive comments. And to the entire library staff who jumped through hoops trying to get all my books through interlibrary loan.

  • Women of the French Revolution
    1 07 839 WOMEN OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION WOMEN OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION BY WINIFRED STEPHENS~ Author of "Madame Adam," "The France I Know," etc., and Editor of "The Book of France" NEW YORK E. P. DUTTON & CO. 1922 PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN AT THE NORTHUMBERLAND PRBSS LTD., THORNTON STREET, HBWCASTLB-UFOH-TYNB FOREWORD THE Women of the French Revolution is so vast a theme that hitherto, even in France, it has not yet met with anything like exhaustive treatment. Michelet himself -admits that the title of his book, Le$ Femmes 1 de la Revolution, is misleading, and that he has written of a few heroines rather than of the mass of revolutionary women. A much later writer, M. Adrien Lasserre, in his work on Women's Participa- 2 tion in the Revolution says that he has found it impossible to cover completely a field so extensive. The attempt which M. Lasserre has renounced cannot be made here. All I hope to do is to give some idea of the rank and file of revolutionary women and of their famous leaders, during little more than a brief period of five memorable years. That period extends from May, 1789, until July, 1794, with some glances now and then, before and after. One aspect of this subject of revolutionary women their connection with the secret societies of the day I have purposely ignored. It is obscure and highly controversial. Unfortunately, though these societies have been much, written about, and especially of late, it has often been in a partisan spirit. This book will constantly deal with parties, but I trust not in the spirit of a partisan.

  • OKKASIONALISMEN: Eine Analyse Anhand Ausgewählter Beispiele Aus Einer Wochenzeitung
    Christina Horst OKKASIONALISMEN: Eine Analyse anhand ausgewählter Beispiele aus einer Wochenzeitung Treball de Fi de Grau Juny, 2012 Facultad de Traducció i Interpretació Universitat Pompeu Fabra Martin Bodo Fischer Idioma alemany Christina Horst OKKASIONALISMEN: Eine Analyse anhand ausgewählter Beispiele aus einer Wochenzeitung Treball de Fi de Grau Juny, 2012 Facultad de Traducció i Interpretació Universitat Pompeu Fabra Martin Bodo Fischer Idioma alemany Abstract Muchos lingüistas ya han estudiado los ocasionalismos en la lengua alemana por su interés lingüístico, pero lo han hecho en general y solo muy pocos los han tratado observando su contexto. Por lo tanto, este trabajo analiza con qué frecuencia se hallan ocasionalismos en una edición específica del periódico semanal DIE ZEIT, qué tipos de ocasionalismos hay y cómo el lector puede descifrarlos con o sin la ayuda del contexto. Para ello, he sintetizado los conocimientos básicos necesarios sobre la formación de las palabras en alemán, poniendo el énfasis en la formación de palabras nuevas, como son los ocasionalismos. De esta manera, he podido clasificar los ocasionalismos en los tres clases principales de la formación de palabras en alemán y, asimismo, analizarlos en su contexto. El resultado son 234 ocasionalismos encontrados, un 88 % de palabras compuestas, un 7 % de derivaciones y un 5 % de conversiones. Mediante estos ejemplos, he estudiado cómo el lector puede llegar a entenderlos sin tener previo conocimiento de ellos y prescindiendo del contexto; y la conclusión es que lo consigue a través de analogías con palabras conocidas y descomponiendo la nueva palabra en sus elementos constituyentes directos; sin embargo, el contexto sigue siendo imprescindible.
