Abstract
The reception of a BYU ORCA Mentoring Grant, and the research and writing it enabled me to perform, was one of the best experiences during my time at BYU. I researched the intellectual environment of early Mormon rhetoric, focusing specifically on how it balanced the tensions of Enlightenment thought on the one hand and Romantic intimations on the other. The grant provided me with the opportunity to not only delve into secondary literature, but also a vast amount of primary sources. The benefit of this project not only resulted in several individual papers, but also helped prepare me for more research and writing in grad school.
