Johnson, Trig. "John Baillie's epistemology of mediated immediacy : its logic, importance for Baillie's mediating theology, and promise as a model of revelatory religious experience." Thesis, University of Gloucestershire, 2015. http://eprints.glos.ac.uk/2448/.
Full textAbstract:
The field of academic theology is presently maintaining the following about the critical thought of the Scottish thinker John Baillie (1886-1960): (1) Baillie’s so-called "mediating theology" does not have a concept to contribute to contemporary Christian thought; (2) Baillie's concept of "mediated immediacy" is important primarily for Baillie's thought in his Our Knowledge of God (1939); (3) mediated immediacy’s logic about knowledge of God is severely convoluted. Received positions which support the field's marginalization of mediated immediacy's contemporary relevance in particular, they come with a concession: (4) the field's confusion about mediated immediacy's meaning—this, as evidenced in over 75 years' worth of competing interpretations about mediated immediacy’s logic, in particular. This thesis centers primarily on Baillie's concept of mediated immediacy, taking as its primary aim the resolution of research issues (1-4). In doing so, it demonstrates that previous research has underestimated: the staying power of Baillie's mediating theology in general, mediated immediacy’s importance for Baillie’s mediating theology in particular, and mediated immediacy’s potential as a contribution to contemporary Christian thought. Along the way, it resolves several research issues which have been occasioned by perennial confusion about the logic of mediated immediacy's normative epistemology and descriptive epistemology in particular. Research contributions about the logic of mediated immediacy's epistemology per se, these derive from three additional research contributions: a diachronic trace of the development of Baillie's mediating theology (Baillie research has sought a comprehensive and cogent ordering of Baillie's non-systematically articulated critical thought; this thesis provides it, by identifying Baillie's espistemic and apologetic preoccupations across his critical thought's roughly 35-year development); a modeling of mediated immediacy's logic (previously absent in a research corpus whose literature ahs been replete with confusion), that logic's expression in what is found to be, contrary to the thrust of previous research, a concept of mediated immediacy that serves at least four functions for Baillie's mediating theology; and, a comprehensive and rigorous critical evaluation of mediated immediacy’s epistemology (also previously absent in Baillie research literature), a multi-disciplinary evaluation of it's logic (from contemporary philosophical-epistemological, empiricalpsychological and theological-epistemological perspectives), included. An evaluation warranted by the multi-disciplinary scope of Baillie's mediating theology, as well as by Baillie's employment of his rather versatile concept of mediated immediacy, this evaluation considers mediated immediacy's now robustly evaluated logic's consequences for core aspects of Baillie's mediating theology, including Baillie’s ideas of knowledge of God, divine action, divine revelation and religious experience. The definitive work on John Baillie's concept of mediated immediacy, this thesis is essential for those with an interest in John Baillie's critical thought. Amongst other things, the thesis challenges positions widely held by John Baillie research. For example, it demonstrates that a nascent form of mediated immediacy existed in Baillie's thought before the concept's first explicit mention in the mediating theologian's 1939 publication Our Knowledge of God. Here is a novel interpretation in the research. Furthermore, whereas previous research has rightly observed that Baillie’s critical thought gravitates toward the problems of revelation and knowledge of God in general, this thesis demonstrates that Baillie’s mediating theology focuses on one problem in particular— across the roughly 35-year span of its development: the problem of the epistemological relationship between direct knowledge and indirect knowledge for knowledge of God. In addition, this thesis demonstrates that Baillie’s latter mediating theology (post-1939) provides a stronger doctrine of the Holy Spirit than that found in Baillie's earlier critical thought. This thesis may also be of value to persons with broader interests, including the epistemic interplay between aspects of philosophy of religion, philosophical theology, and empirically-based interpretations of the phenomena of religious experience.

Slagle, Judith Bailey. "Joanna Baillie and the Anxiety of Shakespeare's Influence." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2013. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/719.
Full textAbstract:
Joanna Baillie, a drama critic as well as a dramatist, began during the last decade of the eighteenth century to develop her own theory of tragedy and comedy, based on human emotions, the elemental instincts that prompted Shakespeare's characters to action over two hundred years before. Baillie could not escape Shakespeare's early influence; even if she had tried, critics and colleagues regularly reminded her of her debt. While Baillie admitted her poetical debt to Ossian and to Robert Burns, her Romantic "naturalness" was indeed fresh and original. Her dramatic writing, however, followed many of the themes of Shakespeare — love, hate, revenge, jealousy, ambition — and she defended and defined her focus on such passions in her "Introductory Discourse" to A Series of Plays, whereas Shakespeare was tacit about his scheme if, in fact, he had one.

Mirabdolbaghi, Ariane. "Population and landownership in the Bailliage Commun of Grandson in the early eighteenth century." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 1994. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1271/.
Full textAbstract:
Grandson is a district in the French speaking canton of Vaud with no particular feature. Prosaic, it resembles many other regions of Switzerland. Such an uneventful area, with smooth social changes taking place over the course of centuries, seemed tailor-made to conduct a combined study of population and landownership. By bringing two vastly different domains of social sciences, demography and rural economy into harmony within a single study, issues of encompassing both methods, theoretically and practically, are discussed. However, the essence of this type of study is the availability of documentation. The registers of land and parish are to be structured for an automatic data processing. The analysis of databases for both the population and the landowners points to unsuspected movements of inhabitants under study, casting doubts on some received ideas on the past population of rural areas in Swiss communities. Proposing to observe eight small neighbouring villages within a limited span of time would privilege empirical aspects. This monograph attempts to picture landownership and population in the 18th century Grandson area. In doing so, some issues were clarified. Nonetheless some others could only be raised.

Jacquier, Elizabeth. "Les châteaux médiévaux de la Bourgogne du sud : d'après les comptes du bailliage de Charolles." Paris 4, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040027.
Full textAbstract:
Les châteaux médiévaux du sud de la Bourgogne ont été détruits au cours des XVIème et XVIIème siècles mais nous pouvons les reconstituer grâce aux comptes du Charolais. En outre, ces documents financiers (1390-1496) offrent de précieux témoignages sur la construction au moyen âge, la main-d’œuvre et les matériaux utilisés. On relève surtout des travaux d'entretien entrecoupes de campagnes de fortification. Les ouvriers (charpentiers, maçons, couvreurs, forgerons) étaient d'origine locale comme les hommes qui assuraient le transport des matériaux avec leurs chars à bœufs. Le bois, la pierre et le sable étaient extrait à proximité des châteaux dans un rayon d'une douzaine de kilomètres sauf les matériaux fabriqués (clous, chaux, tuiles, cordes) produits plus loin. Les fonctionnaires ducaux engageaient plus de dépenses pour les châteaux de Charolles (968-77) et du mont-saint-Vincent) (950), les premiers à être recensés. Ils occupaient des positions stratégiques sur les grands chemins menant à Autun, Cluny et Macon et ont favorisé le développement d'une bourgade fortifiée. Vers le milieu du XVème siècle, on les adapté aux armes à feuThe medieval castles on the south of Burgundy have been destroyed during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries but we can reconstitute them with the accounts of Charolais. Moreover, these financial documents (1390-1496) offer previous information on the building in the middle ages, the labor and the materials. So, it was routine maintenance and sometimes campaigns of fortification. The workmen (carpenters, masons, roofers, blacksmiths) were mostly local residents as the people who furnished transport of materials on the oxcarts. Timber, quarry and sand were taken out near the castles in a radius of twelve kilometers except for the manufactured materials (nails, lime, tiles, rope) produced more away. The ducal officers conceded more expenses to the oldest foundations, Charolles (968 77) and Mont St Vincent (950), particularly during the works of fortification. Surrounded by a town-enclosure, they were established on strategic sites on the highway leading to Autun, Cluny and Macon. About the middle of fifteenth century, they are fit to the fire-arms

Full textAbstract:
En 1366, alors que l'Auvergne faisait partie du récent apanage constitué au profit de Jean de Berry, le roi réussit à installer un bailliage des exempts dans la ville d'Aurillac pour ses justiciables du haut pays. Après le retour de l'Auvergne à la couronne au début du XVème siècle, le bailliage des Montagnes siégeant à Aurillac devint la principale juridiction de Haute-Auvergne, confortée dans cette position en 1551 lorsqu'elle fut gratifiée de la compétence présidiale par Henri II. Jusqu'en 1790 les officiers de cette juridiction tinrent une position dominante dans la vie sociale de la cité. Situé entre pays de coutume et pays de droit écrit, le ressort de ce tribunal royal constitue un terrain propice à l'étude de l'application du droit dans les territoires frontaliers de cette limite juridique@In 1366, as Auvergne was a part of the apanage recently constituted for the benefit of Jean de Berry, the king succeeded in establishing a “Bailliage of Exempts” in the city of Aurillac for the justiciables from the High Country. After the return of Auvergne to the Crown at the beginning of the XVth century, the “Bailliage des Montagnes” sitting in Aurillac, became the main jurisdiction of Haute Auvergne, strengthened in that position in 1551 when it was granted the “Presidial Competence” by Henry II. Until 1790, the officers of this jurisdiction held a leading position in the social life of the city. Located between a country of custom and a country of written law, the competence of this Royal Court makes a field favourable to the study of law enforcement in the territories bordering this jurisdiction

Full textAbstract:
Le pays d'Aire est un espace prospère à la frontière des comtés de Saint-Pol, de Flandre et d'Artois. Cette région rurale et céréalière est arrosée par la Lys, rivière permettant le commerce avec les grandes villes de Flandre. L'ensemble forme l'assise territoriale d'un bailliage artésien dont le siège est placé à Aire-sur-la-Lys, petite ville vivant dans l'ombre de sa puissante voisine Saint-Omer et de la cité de Thérouanne. Cet espace intermédiaire entre Ypres et Hesdin, Lille et Saint-Omer, possède toutefois d'incontestables atouts économiques et une identité originale. Aire, farouchement artésienne mais fortement influencée par la Flandre, fut toujours à la recherche d'un protecteur à la fin du Moyen Age. Ce rôle fut confié tantôt au prévôt de la collégiale tantôt au bailli. Un lignage noble originaire d'Enguinegatte entreprend de mettre la main sur la région, d'abord en menant une subtile politique matrimoniale puis en monopolisant la charge de bailli. Cet office, cumulé à la charge de chambellan local, leur permet de constituer un solide réseau local dans lequel sont impliqués l'échevinage, les chanoines mais aussi le cousinage et les bâtards du lignage. Les Viesville sont alors les véritables maîtres d'Aire et profitent de la reconversion économique de la région après les grandes pestes. La famille parvient à surmonter les coups durs reçus dans le premier quart du XVe siècle mais son influence est finalement balayée par la guerre menée en Artois par Louis XI après la mort de Charles le Téméraire. Véritable "cygne noir", cet avatar dans la lente construction de l'Etat coûte à cette famille tout ce qu'il lui avait apporté dans un premier tempsThe country of Aire is a prosperous area on the border of the counties of Saint-Pol, Flanders and Artois. This rural and cereal area is watered by the Lys river which allows trade with the big cities of Flanders. It forms the territorial basis of an Artesian bailiwick which headquarter is located in Aire-sur-la-Lys, a town living in the shade of the powerful neighbourhood of Saint-Omer and Thérouanne. This intermediate space between Ypres and Hesdin, Lille and Saint-Omer, has however indisputable economic advantages and its own identity. Aire, fiercely from Artois but strongly influenced by Flanders, was at the end of the Middle Ages always in search of a protector. This role was sometimes entrusted to the provost of the collegiate church, sometimes to the bailiff. A noble lineage native of Enguinegatte began to get hold on the region, at first by leading a subtle marital politic then by monopolizing the bailiff’s office. This status, added to the one of the chamberlain of the duke of Burgundy, allowed them to establish a robust local network in which were implied local elites, canons but also cousins and illegitimate children of the lineage. The La Viesville were then the real masters of Aire and took advantage of the economic reconversion of the region after the Great Plague. The family succeeded in overcoming the shocks received in the first quarter of the XVth century but its influence was finally annihilated by the war led in Artois by Louis XI after the death of Charles the Bold. Real " black swan ", this step in the slow construction of the State cost to this family all that it had brought before

Full textAbstract:
La gruerie du bailliage de Chalon représentait l'échelon local de l'administration des eaux et forêts du duché de Bourgogne. Les comptes de gruerie de Chalon étaient tenus de façon régulière depuis la seconde moitié du XIVe siècle. L'exploitation des bois, des étangs et des rivières était soumise à des règles très précises établies par la coutume qui en fixait les usages. L'environnement naturel apportait la principale source de protéine grâce à la pêche, à l'élevage des animaux domestiques et à la chasse. Les bois et les plans d'eau asséchés constituaient également une réserve de terres à cultiver. La forêt faisait partie intégrante du paysage médiéval. Elle représentait un univers familier, un milieu fréquenté quotidiennement par les hommes, qu'ils soient usagers ou artisans. La forêt fournissait le matériau indispensable pour se chauffer et employé dans la plupart des constructions. Du couvert végétal à l'atelier artisanal, cette activité était rigoureusement surveillée sur place par les officiers forestiersThe "gruerie" of the bailiwick in Chalon was the local level of the waters and forests administration in the duchy of Burgundy. The accounts of the "gruerie" in Chalon were regulary kept since the middle of the 14th century. Waters and wood exploitation was subjected to spécific rules according to custom, wich set the ways. The woods served to livestock farming, to hunting and picking, and supplied timber and firewood. They also were a reserve of farming land. The forest was part end parcel of the medieval landscape and society. It was a familiar world, a place daily attented by users or craftsmen. The forest supplied an essential material used in most of the buildings, from farms to housing. From plant cover to workshops, this activity was carefully watched on the very premises by forestry workers

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the writing strategies of three literary women in the 1780s and 1790s: Charlotte Smith (1749-1806), Helen Maria Williams (1761-1827) and Joanna Baillie(1762-1851). With the reshaping of Romanticism in the late twentieth century these women writers have enjoyed a critical renaissance. Central to their revival has been the concept of historical reclamation, as critics have unveiled a 'forgotten' female tradition; simultaneously, many accounts presented female authorship as a hazardous occupation for women in the period. In examining the dual themes of popularity and posterity, this survey provides a new critical perspective on Romantic women writers: as influential players in an age of female authors, and as iconic figures \within an alternative literary history.

Full textAbstract:
In the early nineteenth century, British consumers increasingly demanded representations of foreign areas newly opened up by British imperial expansion. This thesis considers a series of twenty-four aquatints by British artist James Baillie Fraser, published between 1824 and 1826 as Views of Calcutta and its Environs. Fraser’s images at first glance appear to support the views held by European medical men and tourists of the period, who represented Calcutta as a city built in a pestilential environment, and divided between a seemingly tainted, Bengali “black town” and a pristine, European “white town.” The white town was framed as a city of orderly neoclassical palaces, wide boulevards, and salubrious squares, whereas the black town was marked out as a chaotic space of disease and filth. By marshalling the tropes of the picturesque, an aesthetic mode that had long been associated with landscape and travel, and by advertising the series as following in the tradition of earlier representations of India ––– such as the late eighteenth-century prints of Thomas and William Daniell that celebrated Britain’s success in bringing progress and civilization to Bengal ––– Fraser’s Views of Calcutta offered viewers important vistas that marked Britain’s presence in the city. However, while much of the scholarship has interpreted Fraser’s images as seamless depictions of British hegemony, these readings obscure the slippages, tensions, and ambiguities that take form in his prints. My thesis focuses on four of Fraser’s aquatints that picture key sites in Calcutta, including the British buildings in Tank Square, the monument to the Black Hole incident, the Hindu temple known as the “Black Pagoda,” and the native bazaar on Chitpore Road. I argue that rather than portraying British hegemony and a clear division between the white and black towns of Calcutta, Fraser’s images distinguish themselves from earlier representations by paradoxically revealing the fluidity of these boundaries. As a result, Fraser’s collection registers the tenuousness of British power over the perceived dangers of both the tropical environment and the native population, while also asserting the need to constantly maintain sanitary order by removing what was perceived as matter out of place.

Full textAbstract:
Le Tournaisis, entre le XIVe et le XVIe siècle, n’est qu’une poussière à l’échelle du royaume de France puis, après 1521, des Pays-Bas de Charles Quint. La soixantaine de paroisses rurales qui le composent est, depuis 1383, réunie en un bailliage de Tournai, Tournaisis, Mortagne et Saint-Amand qui constitue le cadre administratif intermédiaire et qui exerce la plupart des prérogatives régaliennes dans la province. Ce bailliage se superpose et concurrence d’anciennes cours féodale et allodiale du Tournaisis ; il est lui-même doublé par des États provinciaux développés au XVIe siècle pour répondre aux besoins de la fiscalité directe gouvernementale. Au niveau local, les pouvoirs sont extrêmement fragmentés en un panel diversifié de seigneuries. L’autorité seigneuriale repose sur des cours féodales et des échevinages à variantes multiples, qui encadrent des communautés villageoises relativement peu organisées.Durant ces deux siècles, l’évolution a sans doute davantage affecté les hommes œuvrant au sein des structures provinciales que les institutions elles-mêmes. Dans les villages, l’imbrication des cadres seigneuriaux, le poids politique et économique de Tournai et l’influence institutionnelle flamande participent à figer dans la diversité les équilibres existants. Si le développement et le perfectionnement administratif des monarchies française et habsbourgeoise sont incontestables, leurs effets au niveau intermédiaire sont inégaux, et modérés sur le plan local. L’État moderne laisse une très large place aux structures héritées de la féodalité ; en Tournaisis, le pouvoir est plus partagé que centralisé, la concurrence institutionnelle davantage horizontale que verticaleBetween the 14th and the 16th century, Tournaisis counted only for a grain of dust on the scale of the Kingdom of France and later, after 1521, of Charles the Fifth’s Low Countries. The roughly sixty rural parishes that it consisted of had been combined together since 1383 into one bailiwick of Tournai, Tournaisis, Mortagne and Saint-Amand, making up the intermediary administrative framework exercising the greatest part of the regalian prerogatives in the province. This bailiwick is superimposed on and rivals more ancient feudal and allodial courts of Tournaisis ; it is in turn overcapped by the Provincial States, evolved in the 16th century to meet the needs of direct government tax system. At local level, powers are extremely fragmented into a variety of seigneuries. Seigneurial authority rests on feudal courts and a multiplicity of échevinages, which enframe rather poorly organized village communities.Over these two centuries, the people at work within the province structures were probably more deeply affected by evolution than the very institutions themselves. In the villages, the interwoven seigneurial frameworks, Tournai's political and economic weight together with the influence of Flemish institutions all partook in the freezing of the diversity of existing power balances. Whereas the development and the administrative improvement of the French and Habsburg monarchies are indisputable, their effects at the intermediary level remain moderate and uneven at local level. The Modern State leaves wide space to structures inherited from the feudal system. In Tournaisis power is more shared than centralized and institutional competition develops more horizontally than vertically

Full textAbstract:
In Romantic studies, Romanticism is regarded as a reaction against modernity, or more accurately, a self-critique of modernity. There have been critical debates over the nature of the preoccupation of the Romantics with the past and the natural world, whether such concern is an illustration of the reactionary tendency of Romanticism, or an aesthetic innovation of the Romantics. This study tries to approach this problem from the perspective of space. It draws from the spatial theory of Henri Lefebvre, discussed in the Production of Space, in which Lefebvre conceives a spatial history of modernity, and sees Romanticism as the cultural movement that took place at the threshold of the formation of abstract space. The poetry of three British Romantic writers, William Wordsworth, S. T. Coleridge and Joanna Baillie, is examined. This study analyses how the writers’ thinking and poetry writing are interactive with the formation of social space during the Romantic period. Their poetry embodies the lived experience of the time. The writers show an awareness of the performative aspect of poetry, that poetry is a kind of linguistic creation instead of mere representation, which can be used to appropriate the lived space of reality. This awareness is particular to these Romantic writers because their poetic tactics are socially contextualized. Poetry is their method, as well as manner of life, for confronting the unprecedented social changes brought by modernity. By using Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, an examination of the significance of the body and perception in Romantic poetry is also employed to show how, through the use of performative poetic language, the writers re-create their lived space so as to counter the dominance of abstract space.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche est consacrée au Palais de Paris des années 1670 à 1790. Situé sur l’île de la Cité, le Palais est une ancienne résidence royale qui abrite un ensemble de bâtiments et de cours aux fonctions variées. Il se présente à la fois comme le quartier canonial de la Sainte Chapelle et comme un pôle artisanal et commercial tourné vers le demi-luxe. Il accueille également une collection de tribunaux dont certains de première importance, à commencer par le Parlement et la Chambre des Comptes. L’enjeu de notre thèse est de comprendre comment ces différentes fonctions coexistent, s’opposent ou coopèrent dans l’enclos juridique correspondant au ressort territorial du bailliage du Palais et comment ce territoire est investi par ses habitants et par l’ensemble des Parisiens. Notre approche, essentiellement spatiale, se fonde sur un corpus de plans, coupes et élévations qui a permis de procéder à des restitutions graphiques et cartographiques et d’apprécier les transformations architecturales tout au long du XVIIIe siècle. Elle s’appuie également sur le fonds du bailliage du Palais et celui du procureur général du Parlement. Nous envisageons la structuration interne des logements, des boutiques et des tribunaux (salles d’audience, salles du conseil, parquet, greffes, buvettes) ainsi que les points de contact entre les différentes juridictions (Grande Salle, Conciergerie). Il s’agit également d’insérer le Palais dans son contexte urbain en analysant la composition sociale et les pratiques propres à ce territoire. L’usage public du lieu implique des formes d’encadrement spécifiques et conduit au développement d’une culture singulièreThis research is dedicated to the Palais de Paris from the 1670s to the 1790s. Located on the Ile de la Cité, the Palais is a former royal residence which houses a set of buildings and yards with a variety of functions. It comes across as both the canonical quarter of the Sainte Chapelle and as a hand-made and half-luxury commercial point. It also hosts a collection of courts, some of prime importance, starting with the Parlement and the Chambre des Comptes. Understanding how these different functions coexist, oppose or cooperate is at the centre of our research. We will analyse those various relationships in the legal enclosure corresponding to the territorial jurisdiction of the bailliage du Palais and see how this territory is taken up by its inhabitants and by all Parisians. Our approach, essentially spatial, is based on a corpus of plans, sections and elevations that allowed to carry out graphic and cartographic renditions and to assess architectural transformations throughout the eighteenth century. It also relies upon the funds of the bailliage du Palais and of the Attorney General of Parlement. We are considering the internal structure of accommodation, shops and courts (courtrooms, boardrooms, prosecutor's office, tribunal registry, refreshment bars) as well as the points of contact between the various jurisdictions (Grande Salle, Conciergerie). It is also about placing the Palais in its urban context through the analysis of its social composition and the practices specific to this territory. The public use of the Palais implies specific forms of supervision and leads to the development of a particular culture

"The ground and nature of religious belief in the work of John Macmurray, John Baillie and John Oman, with special reference to their understanding of the relation between ordinary experience and religious belief." Thesis, University of Oxford, 1999. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:6c8498b2-15ee-4e52-a6ec-bee25e1480d7.
Full textAbstract:
The study expounds the views of Macmurray, Baillie and Oman on religious belief in the context of their other epistemological, anthropological and theological convictions. It is shown that each of the writers argues that religious belief is a response to a feature of everyday experience (human alienation, moral intuition and the sense of the holy respectively), that each of them takes the view that religious belief functions in order to achieve a valued end (community, willing obedience to divinely ordained duties and the on-going development of moral personality) which is regarded as both the will of God and essential to human flourishing, and that they also hold that religious beliefs may be confirmed in relation to the valued end which they aim to promote. I argue that whilst each is not without their lacunas and inadequacies, the three writers provide insights which may be useful in understanding religious belief in a Christian context. I maintain, for instance, that Macmurray's argument that religion is a derivative response to a critical dimension of ordinary experience is an illuminating perspective. Again, it is argued that there are resources in Baillie's work to help in the articulation of the view that Christian belief is a response to an a priori encounter with the divine presence in experience. Again, Oman's emphasis on the role of feeling in the disclosure of the divine is plausible, and his analysis of the nature of religious belief is particularly rich in illuminating insights. An important argument that runs through the thesis is that it is plausible to think that there are preconceptual experiences that are cognitively important. In this sense, the study aims to help underpin an experiential approach in the face of those critics who deny the conceptual possibility of such primal experiences.

Full textAbstract:
Much women's writing in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries attempts to depict other women visually through textual description, use of optical devices, and discussion of bodies and appearances. This thesis argues that they were trying to see and show other women as a way of understanding themselves and each other by examining intersections between visual culture and text through mirrors, miniatures, and portraits. This thesis demonstrates how these works reflect larger shifts in the optical unconscious of the eighteenth century. I focus on works by Joanna Baillie and Louisa Stuart Costello, who theorize the viewing process in their prose and manipulate the viewing process in their drama and poetry, respectively. By manipulating the gaze these authors show readers new ways of seeing women, and subsequently, themselves, and seek to make them conscious of their optical unconscious; their works become the optical devices that allow this to happen.McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts

Le bailli d’Amiens, sous Philippe VI (1328-1350), intervenait fréquemment dans les principautés du Nord de la France que sont les comtés d’Artois, de Ponthieu et de Flandre. L’étendue de son ressort, ainsi que son emplacement stratégique, en firent une sentinelle du gouvernement central et un ardent défenseur des droits du roi. Agissant parfois avec trop de zèle, entrant ce faisant en conflit avec les juridictions urbaines, d’Église et seigneuriales, cet officier royal constituait un lien important entre les justiciables de sa circonscription et l’autorité royale des actes et lettres de laquelle il devait veiller à la transmission et l’exécution. De son côté, la cour du roi sembla approuver le travail du bailli, n’intervenant que rarement en réaction aux excès commis par ce dernier et confirmant l’essentiel des sentences du bailli jugées en appel.The bailiff of Amiens, under Philip VI (1328-1350), frequently intervened in the principalities of northern France that are the counties of Artois, Ponthieu and Flanders. The extent of its jurisdiction, and its strategic location made him a sentinel of the central government and a staunch advocate of the king’s rights. Sometimes acting too zealously, thereby entering into conflict with urban jurisdictions, and stately church, this royal officer was an important link between citizens of his district and the royal authority of the acts and letters which he had to ensure transmission and execution. For its part, the king's court seemed to endorse the work of the bailiff, intervening only rarely in response to the excesses committed by the latter and confirming the main awards of the Bailiff considered on appeal.
