The morality play as prelude to Elizabethan drama

- Oosthuizen, Ann

Authors: Oosthuizen, Ann
Date: 1966
Subjects: Moralities, English , English drama -- Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 -- Classical influences

Description: Although it is generally accepted that the Morality Plays greatly influenced Elizabethan drama, this statement is often followed by the rider that they are dull and lifeless and that their chief legacy is a sense of moral earnestness which also characterises the best Elizabethan drama. The aim of this thesis has been to read the Morality Plays closely and in an appreciative spirit in order to find out what significant contribution they do make to the techniques of Elizabethan drama and to a proper understanding of it. Chapter I discusses the earliest complete Morality, The Castle of Perseverance, which is the longest and most comprehensive of all the Moralities. The chapter tries to show what a Morality is about and how it differs from the great mediaeval cyclus, the Mystery Plays. It is also an attempt to relate the early Morality Play to other mediaeval literature and to show that it is closely linked to the homeletic literature of the period. Chapter II is a study of three Moralities of the period 1500- 1520. There are fewer Moralities in this period and the plays chosen show a marked similarity to The Castle of Perserverance in their structure, although they differ from the earlier Moralities in their attitude to their subject matter and in their portrayal of the different allegorical characters. The plays under discussion are Nature, Mundus et Infans and Magnyfycence Chapter III; the period after 1535 was a period of great political and religious upheaval and this chapter discusses the plays written for propaganda purposes in the strife between Catholic and Protestant. John Bale's Three Laws, an anti-Catholic play, was chosen because Bale is a startlingly original dramatist who makes use of techniques derived from the liturgy and from emblematic devices, and because he tries to mould the Mystery Plays and the History Plays into a Morality framework. The other plays The Conflict of Conscience was chosen because of its affinity to Dr Faustus and also because it tries to show the psychomachia in psychological, personal terms rather than in a general allegorical manner. Chapter IV discusses three later Moralities, Cambyses, Horestes and Appius Virginia, which portray historical or fictional characters in situations of conflict. They were chosen because they seem to show that the Morality Plays laid the bases for the Elizabethan tragic situation and the Elizabethan tragic hero. With such diverse material, it is difficult to trace a clear line of development from one play to the next, but each group of plays has its own contribution to make to our understanding of Elizabethan drama.

The priesthood of all believers : a re-statement

- Borman, John

Authors: Borman, John
Date: 1966
Subjects: Priesthood, Universal , Christian life , Church renewal , Ministry and Christian union
Language: English
Type: Thesis , Bachelor , BDiv

Description: From Preface: In this age of ecumenical discussion it has becone necessary for all Christian communions to examine afresh their traditional beliefs. This has frequently led to restatement and reformulation of such traditional beliefs. It has also driven us back to seek new light from the Biblical sources. It seemed that such a re-examination of the traditional doctrine of the priesthood of all believers was necessary so that those who claim to hold it know what they hold, and so that those who do not may know what it is that their fellow-Christians believe, and why. This was the first reason for this study.

The salinity tolerance of some Eastern Province fish in relation to their known distribution

- Hofmeyr, Hendrik Petrus

Authors: Hofmeyr, Hendrik Petrus
Date: 1966
Language: English
Type: Thesis , Masters , MSc
Identifier: vital:21165 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/6684
Description: The tolerances to sea water, sodium chloride and sodium sulphate of various cichlid, cyprinid and anabantid species which occur naturally in or near the Eastern Province region of Southern Africa, were determined, and correlated with their distribution ranges. Of the nine freshwater species tested, only Tilapia mossambica is able to disperse through the sea and is therefore the only member of the secondary division (Myers 1937) present in this region. The remaining species are possibly all limited to the use of freshwater links for dispersal between river systems. Death of fish in sea water and in sodium chloride is chiefly due to loss of osmotic control, but in solutions of sodium sulphate a pronounced toxic effect is responsible for death. In all the solutions used, an inverse relation between survival time and concentration is present. No evidence of any cells specialised for salt excretion was found in the gills of fish exposed to various salt concentrations.

The thermal decomposition of mercuric oxalate and inorganic azides

- Moore, D J

Authors: Moore, D J
Date: 1966
Subjects: Decomposition (Chemistry) , Oxalates -- Thermal properties , Mercuric Oxide -- Azides
Language: English
Type: Thesis , Doctoral , PhD
Identifier: vital:4483 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1012878
Description: The chemical reactivity of a solid is influenced to a marked degree by the presence of imperfections or defects in the solid. Bond strengths are considerably weaker at points of imperfection than elsewhere in the solid, and hence the initiation of reaction is favoured at these sites due to the relative ease of bond rupture. Line defects, such as edge or screw dislocations, jogs, Smekul cracks etc, are of prime importance in such changes. The surface of a solid or in intergranular boundaries, where a state of strain exists, are also favourable places for the initiation of a reaction, Point defects e.g. vacancies or interstitialions or atoms also play important roles in chemical change, often in conjuction with line defects.

Ultraviolet specular reflectance, electronic absorption and the excitation of fluorescence in single crystals of anthracene

- Wright, W H

Authors: Wright, W H
Date: 1966
Subjects: Anthracene crystals -- Fluorescence , Ultraviolet spectroscopy -- Absorption , Reflectance
Language: English
Type: Thesis , Doctoral , PhD
Identifier: vital:5544 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1013366
Description: From introduction: The Fluorescence Excitation Spectrum or anthracene is known to vary considerably with the age and condition or the crystal. This thesis represents an attempt to improve the understanding of these variations. To put the problem on a quantitative basis it was found necessary to know both the ultraviolet reflection and absorption spectra. Reports of the reflection spectrum appear to have been confined to the case of polarised incident light. In addition the reflectivity measurements are always reported for a freshly cleaved surface. For these reasons the reflectivity of anthracene for various conditions of the reflecting surface was measured with unpolarised light. These varying reflectivities were used to further knowledge of the chemical processes at the crystal surface, as well as being used directly in the calculation of fluorescence excitation spectra. Reflection spectra with a- and b- crystallographic axis polarisations were also obtained. Since such spectra are reported in the literature it was possible, by comparison, to conclude that the experimental methods used in this thesis yielded valid results. The polarised measurements were used to obtain optical constants for the crystal. In the interests of readability most of the complicated process of converting the reflectivities to optical constants is dealt with in three appendices to the thesis.

During apartheid Rhodeo became an active part of the struggle for freedom of expression as part of the now defunct South African Student Press Union. Currently Activate is committed to informing Rhodes University students, staff and community members about relevant issues, mainly on campus. These issues range from hard news to more creative journalism. While Activate acts as a news source, one of its main objectives it to be accessible as a training ground for student journalists. The newspaper is run entirely by the students and is published twice a term. Activate is a free newspaper which receives an annual grant from the Rhodes University Student Representative Council, however, majority of its revenue is generated through advertising.
