Mentalité; the French Revolution and the psychology of excess : the prison massacres of September, 1792, 1998
Item — Call number MU Thesis Hur
Identifier: b2088937
Introduction [excerpts]
[I] attempt in this thesis to explain not only the question of the material causes, but also the mind cast of the Parisian crowd in 1792. Enough has been written on the social origins of the Revolution to provide a good picture of its material causes. Such unfair conditions as then existed, i.e., the financial burden of the general population which resulted in hunger and deprivation for many, would have driven anyone to extremes. Yet, that explanation fails to answer three very important...

Rivers, canals, and swamps : waterscapes and environmental change in 19th century New Jersey, 2009
Item — Call number MU Thesis Lis
Identifier: b2825636
Introduction [excerpt]
Environmental Historian David J. Grettler argues that environmental history tells the story of environmental change as well as the relationship between human beings and their environment. In this work I have attempted to hold to this statement. New Jersey waterscapes changed immensely over the 19th century, and I have attempted to describe this change to the best of my ability. However, this is not the only purpose of this work. I have also attempted to explain why these changes took...

The conservatism of the British cavalry and its effect on the British Army of World War II, 2003
Item — Call number MU Thesis Wal
Identifier: b2089511
Introduction [excerpt]
[T]o link the cavalry to the failure of the British Army in the first battles of the Second World War requires a long-term assessment of cavalry tactics and training. Did the cavalry retain obsolete tactics and influence weapons development in such a way that it can be partially blamed for the disasters of 1940? ... [A]lthough some historians have argued that the cavalry's influence on the development of the British Army was insignificant, an examination of the evidence shows otherwise....

The English marriage of Philip II : a struggle for the throne, 2010
Item — Call number MU Thesis Pac
Identifier: b2825630
Introduction [excerpt]
The most infamous interaction of Philip II with England was certainly that of his attempted invasion with the ill-fated Spanish Armada in 1588. This incident cemented Philip's reputation in England as an unreasonable foreign aggressor, trying to steal the rightful inheritance of England's divinely favored Queen Bess. While the English regarded him in a primarily negative light, in Spain Philip's reign came be seen as a golden age. Yet, before he was king of Spain, Portugal, Naples,...

The goddess of rayon : artificial silk and the fashioning of modernity in 1920s Germany, 2006
Item — Call number MU Thesis Lan
Identifier: b2089957
Abstract
When artificial silk (Kunstseide), or rayon, as it became known after 1924, entered the public marketplace and imagination it was nothing short of revolutionary. Hailed as a "gift of the modern age," and a technological marvel, rayon heralded all that was new and possible. With its democratizing effect on clothing, its potential for blurring class lines, and its freeing effect on women's work, movement, and sexuality, rayon was emblematic to...
