By Judith Dobson
This thesis explores the Romantic representation of femininity in relation to elements of the Western esoteric tradition. In particular, it discusses the presence of Gnostic themes and gender imagery and the ways in which Romantic writers incorporated these concepts into their works as a means of articulating discourses that could challenge mainstream trends. I propose that Romantic writers engaged with an image of the feminine that elevated the female within the epistemological hierarchies of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and whose precedents lie in the traditions of Gnosticism and other esoteric schools of thought. This feminine image resurfaced within dissenting movements like the Moravians, Behmenists and Swedenborgians, who emphasised the feminine aspects of God and Creation.

Thesis by Justin R. Glosson
"Music and the Ineffable or Mystical world have always been tied hand in hand. The Greek Philosophers believed music to be the second greatest science of the quadrivium – second only to astronomy in the ability to capture the essence of the universe. Signs and symbols permeate mysticism and initiatory societies, such as the Rosicrucian and Masonic fraternities. The exploration of these signs and their symbolic use within these mystical and initiatory societies has yet to have been expounded upon in recent scholarship. Mysticism in an alchemical, or hermetic, sense has had little attention in the music-theoretical studies. This thesis will start filling this void."
