I have many people to thank for helping bring this nearly-decade long sojourn to a successful conclusion. To begin, I want to remember Dr. Emory Elliott. His first book, Power and the Pulpit in Puritan New England, was one I discovered when I was first applying to PhD programs, and it gave me hope that there would be a professor at UCR who could relate to my interest in studying the sermon. After taking a course from him, I approached Dr. Elliott about chairing my committee; a journal entry I wrote the following day reads, “Dr. Elliott on board and enthusiastic.” But, not long afterwards, I received word that he unexpectedly and suddenly passed away. I trust that this work would have met with the same degree of enthusiasm he displayed when I first proposed it to him. With Dr. Elliott’s passing, I had to find someone else who could guide me through the final stages of my doctorate, and Dr. John Ganim was the first who came to mind. From the freedom he provided in a seminar on medieval literature to explore the themes of the course within the context of my field of Victorian literature and religion, to my discovery that he was a former Victorianist himself—something I learned from another student; he had only told me, quite humbly, that he had “some experience” with Victorian literature—I knew he would be the right person for the job. His suggestions and encouragement throughout the writing of the dissertation were ever helpful, and I am so grateful that he agreed to work with me. iv I would also like to thank Dr. John Briggs and Dr. Susan Zieger, my other committee members. Dr. Briggs’ seminar on rhetorical theory was one of the first I took, and it remains one of my favorites. Work I produced for that seminar and the commentary he wrote on it provided material that was useful for this dissertation. Dr. Zieger was always supportive and encouraging as both an instructor and as a committee member. In particular, the study sessions in preparation for the oral exam were helpful and, somewhat surprisingly, enjoyable, and made the actual oral exam itself that much easier. There is one other professor I would also like to remember, Dr. Stanley Stewart, who passed away just this year. It was my privilege to take a course on Renaissance drama with Professor Stanley Stewart about eight years ago. I remember most sitting in his office one afternoon, going over some research I had conducted for my seminar presentation and showing him what I had found via the Internet. He told me that what I was able to pull up in a matter of minutes would have taken weeks if not months to have tracked down and acquired until quite recently in his career. He then went on to tell me how he used to ride the UCR Library van on a regular basis to the Huntington Library in order to read books that were available only there until he learned that for some time the van was only making the trip for him to be able to go, at which time he thanked them for the courtesy and discontinued the trips. I learned two things about him from this story that are the dominant impressions I have of him still: first, that he was an incredibly hard- working scholar, willing to put in the footwork necessary to do the research he needed (and so very clearly loved) to do; and second, that he was a man of integrity, unwilling to v take advantage of the “free ride” even when no one else seemed to mind. For these reasons (among others), I was honored to have him on my qualifying exam committee. A couple of years ago, I acquired a copy of The King James Version, the novel he wrote, and I had hoped to have brought it in for him to sign for me. While I’m sorry to have missed that opportunity, I look forward still to reading it and remembering the man who wrote it. In the winter quarter of my final year of coursework in 2008, my son was born in Ohio. Between his birth and one of the worst blizzards to hit the state in 90 years, I missed a full week of class and access to a research library. Two of my fellow grad students (who have long since graduated) went above and beyond the call of collegiality to help me out at that time. Dr. Gretchen Bartels graciously agreed to post notes to Blackboard during class and voiced in class the comments and questions I posted. Though there was a bit of a time lag, it worked. Gretchen was also one of my officemates, and I enjoyed the opportunities to talk and chat with her. Dr. Rory Moore responded to an email request I sent from Ohio to find and photocopy and arrange to have scanned and sent to me an article from UCR’s Eaton Collection which was indispensable to the seminar paper I wrote for the course. In the years since then, Rory has remained a steady friend, and our occasional email exchanges about dissertation progress, work, new and growing families, and life generally have been valued. There remains one last member of the English Department at UCR who deserves great thanks, Tina Feldmann, the Graduate Student Advisor. In my second year in the program, I mentioned at our Department’s graduate program open house what an vi invaluable asset Tina was. Now, having been through the exam process and winding down the dissertation process, I can only say that I didn’t know the half of it then. She has patiently answered all of my questions, expertly guided me through paperwork, and warmly provided encouragement every step of the way. When she told me in the fall of 2015 that this would be her final year, I knew I had to get things done while she would still be around. I am thrilled that she will get to see me graduate. Facebook was both one of my chief distractions from dissertating as well as one of my chief motivators: so much work would “earn” me some time on Facebook. But, I found it an important way to keep myself accountable for making progress. In particular, two former work colleagues of mine, Roslynn Pryor and Brandon Leighton, who were working on finishing their Master’s theses, and I started a “Mastermind PostBacc” group to post weekly progress reports on our research and writing or just ideas without worrying about sounding coherent. The motivation to have something to post, and the encouragement of “likes” and comments on those posts kept me going. For bigger milestones, like completed chapters, I posted to my general page, and again the “likes” and encouraging comments from friends proved motivating. For all who ever commented or liked one of my dissertating posts, I offer you a sincere thumbs-up like and thank you. Finally, and most importantly, I want to thank my family: my wife, Mitra, my son, Michael, and my daughter, Leila. My wife endured stretches of time as a virtual “single parent” while I was locked away reading and writing, and she never once complained about it. When I wanted to give up, she kept me going. Her encouragement and support, and her efforts to keep the fire lit under me when needed, make this vii dissertation as much an accomplishment for her as for me. And for Michael and Leila, who gave up a lot of “Daddy time” without understanding what a “dissertation” was (but who knew the word by the age of five), I hope you will one day come to see this book as a testament to perseverance. I love all of you so very much. viii For Mitra, Michael, and Leila ix ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Victorian Sermonic Discourse: The Sermon in Nineteenth-Century British Literature and Society by Jeremy Michael Sell Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in English University of California, Riverside, June 2016 Dr. John Ganim, Chairperson This dissertation analyzes the role of the sermon in nineteenth-century British literature and society. In particular, it examines the way sermonic discourse—discourse that includes sermons themselves as well as discourse directly inspired by, responding to, or imitative of sermons—permeated Victorian literature and discussions of key issues in the Victorian era. Contributing to the growing field of sermon studies, the dissertation focuses first on Victorian homiletics and the novel, then shifts to two major Victorian concerns: the growing realm of science, and the growth of the industrial city.

  • The Ecumenical Movement and the Origins of the League Of
    IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by James M. Donahue __________________________ Mark A. Noll, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana April 2015 © Copyright 2015 James M. Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M. Donahue Carnegie, Wilfred Monod, Prince Max von Baden and Lord Robert Cecil.

  • “That Unhappy War of Yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875
    “That unhappy War of yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875 DAVID SOUTHERN Samuel Laurence (circa 1850) Photograph by Anthony Coningham Sterling Copyright © National Portrait Gallery, London AMUEL LAURENCE (1812–84), A PORTRAIT ARTIST WHO SPECIALIZED in literary figures both British and American, was possibly Sborn in Guildford, Surrey, beyond which, at least until recently, nothing was known of his parentage, his education, or any signal events from his formative years, except that at some point he changed the spelling of his last name from Lawrence. CSA 24 2008 6 CARLYLE STUDIES ANNUAL He first exhibited his work in London in 1834 and moved easily in circles of London literati. On 10 August 1836, at All Soul’s Church, Marylebone, he married Anastasia Gliddon, cousin and adopted sister of Katherine Gliddon and sister-in-law of Thornton Leigh Hunt. Perhaps as early as 1840 and certainly by 1844, the Laurences were participants in a “Bohemian Phalanstery” modeled upon the utopian philosophy of Charles Fourier (1772–1837), and it included Thornton and Katherine Hunt, George Henry Lewes, and Mary Ann Evans.1 James Spedding likely introduced Laurence to the Carlyles (see CL 29: 355), and at least ten letters to him from Thomas Carlyle (TC) and one from Jane Welsh Carlyle (JWC) can be found in the New York Public Library (Ray collection), the National Library of Scotland (NLS), the University of California Library, Santa Cruz (Strouse collection), and the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections at Duke University’s Perkins Library. To a letter from TC to his sister Jean Aitken, 6 July 1838, JWC added this piquant postscript: “—only think Carlyle is to have his picture taken again this time by an artist of genius—if it succeeds I mean to buy it of the man[.] It was I formerly that used to be asked to sit for pictures but every dog has its day” (CLO).

Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 6 - 9, MS 22 Title: Mundella Papers Scope: The correspondence and other papers of Anthony John Mundella, Liberal M.P. for Sheffield, including other related correspondence, 1861 to 1932. Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank. Also included in the collection are letters, not involving Mundella, of the family of Robert Leader, acquired by Mundella’s daughter Maria Theresa who intended to write a biography of her father, and transcriptions by Maria Theresa of correspondence between Mundella and Robert Leader, John Daniel Leader and another Sheffield Liberal M.P., Henry Joseph Wilson. The collection does not include any of the business archives of Hine and Mundella. Anthony John Mundella (1825-1897) was born in Leicester of an Italian father and an English mother. After education at a National School he entered the hosiery trade, ultimately becoming a partner in the firm of Hine and Mundella of Nottingham. He became active in the political life of Nottingham, and after giving a series of public lectures in Sheffield was invited to contest the seat in the General Election of 1868. Mundella was Liberal M.P. for Sheffield from 1868 to 1885, and for the Brightside division of the Borough from November 1885 to his death in 1897.

The plot of a detective story is based on the assumption that once the facts are discovered, the truth will come out and justice will be served. This thesis explores the interaction between truth and justice in Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone and Charles Dickens’s Bleak House. While investigations may reveal the truth, this does not always lead to justice. Authors can uphold or deviate from traditional norms to reinforce or undermine the expectation that justice will be served. Keffeler 1 Truth and Justice in The Moonstone and Bleak House Introduction Victorians placed a high value on honesty. The cultural norm of the period was that people were expected to tell the truth (Kucich 6). There are many references by people such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and W. E. H. Lecky about how Victorians took pride in being candid and sincere. This emphasis on honesty led to moral values that placed great importance on the truth (Kucich 8).
