    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on die film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • New Literary Humanism and the Trope of the Daimon in William Blake's Jerusalem T
    “EVERY THING IS HUMAN, MIGHTY! SUBLIME!”: NEW LITERARY HUMANISM AND THE TROPE OF THE DAIMON IN WILLIAM BLAKE’S JERUSALEM TODD DEARING, BA(Hons I) Presented to the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences of Flinders University for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY FLINDERS UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA 6 July 2020 Declaration I, Todd Dearing, certify that this thesis: 1. Does not incorporate without acknowledgment any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university; and 2. To the best of my knowledge and belief, does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text. ______TWD_______ __29 January 2020__ (signed) (date) To all for whom learning is a life-long quest. Abstract William Blake’s (1757-1827) poetic statement, “every thing is Human, mighty! sublime!” suggests an extraordinarily strange idea of the human (J34:48, E180). Yet it is upon such daimonic conceptions that Blake’s sublime allegory of poetic genius, Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion (1804-c. 1820), rests. This thesis examines the trope of the daimon in Blake’s Jerusalem. I argue that the human, and humanity, in Blake’s mythos are ontologically daimonic, a dynamic mediator between polarities such as divine and mundane, infinite and finite, eternal and temporal, spirit and matter, subject and object, conscious and unconscious. However, in doing so, I do not read Blake’s daimon literally, but literarily and humanistically. Literarily, I read Blake’s daimon as a key trope for understanding Jerusalem as humanistic mythopoetry wherein literary language plays an important, transformative role.

  • Its Meaning in the Life of William Blake
    RICE UNIVERSITY The Moment of Inspirationi Its Meaning In The Life of William Blake Jack Lynn Darden Rundstein A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts Thesis Director's Signature* Houston, Texas May, 1970 ABSTRACT William Blake, poet and artist, is considered a unique figure in the history of literature and art. Although he was a contemporary of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, and Lamb, he lived his life isolated from their companionship and communication. Blake*s style, both in painting and poetry, was appreciated by only a very few persons during his life. Yet he firmly believed that his art was superi¬ or to that of the prevailing fashion because it was imagi¬ native art, and, to him, the imagination was the eternal element in temporal man. Despite all the hardships and disappointments in his life, Blake never lost his determi¬ nation to create imaginative art. This thesis will examine Blake’s political, social, philosophical, and religious convictions of his youth to the interval at Felphara, 1800-1803, and the changes that occurred after that period. The artistic dilemma, in which he found himself at Felpham, forced him to re-evaluate his life and his thought. The prophecy, Milton, whose major theme is the validi¬ ty of inspiration in art, was written as a result of the tension-filled period at Felpham. Blake’s character was tried severely, but he triumphed over the temptation to quelch his creative impulses. In addition, Milton contains the transcription of a vision that truly was an inspira¬ tion to Blake.

ENGELJOHN, U.S. Department of Agriculture-FSIS, Washington, D.C., USA Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) is a diverse group of zoonotic bacteria, which contain some of the most serious bacterial foodborne pathogens, e.g. the well known E. coli O157 associated with bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Other non-O157 serogroups are associated with the full range of enteric illness: some have never been associated with human illness, others only with fairly mild disease, and some with disease equally Symposium as severe as that caused by the serogroup O157 strains. The non-O157 STEC have been isolated from animals and some foods. This symposium aims to provide an update on knowledge about non-O157 STEC — What disease manifestations do they cause in humans? What makes an STEC virulent? What are the risk factors for acquiring an STEC infection? What are its reservoirs? How are they detected in human illness? Can the pathogenic ones be distinguished among a mixed population of STECs, i.e. from the gut of an animal? What can be done to protect the food supply from non-O157 STEC?
