The plays are customarily passed over as an appendage to his poetry, and the prose works are almost entirely neglected, except as philosophical documents. Though the poems are constantly being examined and explicat¬ ed, the prose style is mentioned only incidentally: "one may observe in passing that the section on history in A Vision includes the finest 1 rhythmic prose written in English since that of Sir Thomas Browne." The paradox is that though Yeats* s dramatic movement, in the form of the Abbey Theatre, exerted great influence on English and American drama, his plays themselves remain outside the realm of influence and have not passed into the tradition of English drama.

  • Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements Between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900
    Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900 Nathaniel Parker Weston A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Uta G. Poiger, Chair Vicente L. Rafael Lynn Thomas Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2012 Nathaniel Parker Weston University of Washington Abstract Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900 Nathaniel Parker Weston Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Uta G. Poiger This dissertation analyzes the impact of German anthropology and natural history on colonialism and nationalism in Germany, Spain, the Philippines, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth-century. In their scientific tracts, German authors rehearsed the construction of racial categories among colonized peoples in the years prior to the acquisition of formal colonies in Imperial Germany and portrayed their writings about Filipinos as superior to all that had been previously produced. Spanish writers subsequently translated several German studies to promote continued economic exploitation of the Philippines and uphold notions of Spaniards’ racial supremacy over Filipinos. However, Filipino authors also employed the translations, first to demand colonial reform and to examine civilizations in the Philippines before and after the arrival of the Spanish, and later to formulate nationalist arguments. By the 1880s, the writings of Filipino intellectuals found an audience in newly established German scientific associations, such as the German Society for Anthropology, Ethnology, and Prehistory, and German-language periodicals dealing with anthropology, ethnology, geography, and folklore.

  • ONE OP the DEATHS of Christmas Day Was That of Mrs. Maud Durbin Skinner, Wife of Otis Skinner, Famous Actor
    ONE OP THE DEATHS OF Christmas day was that of Mrs. Maud Durbin Skinner, wife of Otis Skinner, famous actor. Marital adventures of stage people furnish material for sensational writers and diligent moralists. But the relations of Otis Skinner and his wife were of little use to the paragraphers, for the couple remained happi1y wedded to each other for more than forty years. Back in the early nineties, when Otis Skinner was leading man in Modjeska's company Maud Durbin joined the county 26 4-H clubs with a mem-company while it was playing in Denver. Skinner and the young actress worked together as members of that company for two years, when they formed their own company, and about a year later were married. Mrs. Skinner played many prominent roles, including Juliet to her husband's Romeo and Ophelia to his Hamlet. Shortly after the birth of their daughter in 1902 Mrs. Skinner retired from the stage. The daughter, Cornelia Otis Skinner, now adorns the stage of which both parents were distinguished members. LORD NUFFIELD, WEALTHY British motor car manufacturer, made a Christmas gift of $10,000,000, not to King George and Premier Baldwin, but to a board of trustees who are to use the fund in co-operation with and augmentation of the efforts of the government to improve conditions in the country's most distressed areas. The gift was accompanied by an expression of confidence in and admiration for the new king and the premier. LORD NUFFIELD, OF WHOM few of us ever hear, is known to have given away millions in charities of which there is no public record.
