The Comic Element in the Novels of Thomas Wolfe (open access)

The Comic Element in the Novels of Thomas Wolfe

As to form, Wolfe's novels are deliberately loose, because that is important to his purpose. Conceiving America as an open society of potentiality, he could do no less than remain open himself. To do otherwise would have meant impotence if not sterility. In this thesis, I shall attempt to show that the episodes, divergences, and observations all illustrate and amplify this spiritual growth.

The Democratic-Republicans : A Study in State Rights Ideology (open access)

The Democratic-Republicans : A Study in State Rights Ideology

Relative to the Republican campaign against the Alien and Sedition legislation, however, it would appear that perhaps there has been a certain amount of misunderstanding.
