Cum laude Major: English Minor: History My doctoral dissertation, a study of the Elizabethan Puritan mock-debate dialogue, attempts to do three things; to demonstrate the working of a specifically Puritan anti-clerical satire; to demonstrate that this Puritan literary genre has its roots in a much older English Catholic tradition of anti-clerical satire; and finally, to render a just appreciation of some obscure but ingeniously inventive men--Williiam Turner, Anthony Gilby, John Udall and the pseudonymous "Martin Marprelate." The study begins with a discussion of the Marprelate pamphlets, which embody the distinguishing characteristics of Puritan satire. It then examines the roots of anti-clerical polemic in England, considering homiletic literature of the thirteenth century as well as Lollard satire of the fourteenth. It concludes with a look at a number of Puritan anti-clerical satires, all written in the sixteenth century; an attempt is made to show that they refined and sophisticated the potential for drama and story inherent in the character and dialogue form of medieval complaint and Renaissance satire. LANGUAGES: Reading knowledge of German and Latin.
