Searching for thesis: "Donne and Alchemy"
Permalink Closed


Hi,

I am trying to trace a thesis or dissertation presented for the degree of M. Litt at the University of Aberdeen (Scotland) entitled (something like) "Donne and Alchemy" and written by an "H Crothers".

I have no further details. The University of Aberdeen cannot seem to trace it and I have already explored most of the other avenues including, of course, Google!

I was wondering whether someone had come across it in their studies or general reading and could let me have further details?

Many thanks in advance,

Paul Ferguson

Hi Paul,

Other than as a reference in Alan Pritchard's bibliography, I have no particulars on Crothers' thesis. Sorry.

If your research extends to the sermon literature, you might be interested in Donne's use of the "alchemico-Lullian sign" (Paolo Rossi's term) in one of his churching sermons. See my article, "Addressing Fear and Grief..." in THE CATALAN REVIEW 20.1 (2006): 9-37.

Good luck!

Roberta Albrecht

Thanks Roberta!

It was Alan who raised the original query so things are going round in circles cry

Maybe Crothers studied at Miskatonic...

Paul
