  • 1 Balz Engler Poetry and Performance: the Case of Vachel Lindsay The
    1 Balz Engler, “Poetry and Performance: The Case of Vachel Lindsay”. Anglistentag 1982 Zürich: Vorträge. Ed. Udo Fries and Jörg Hasler. Giessen: Hoffmann, 345-58 Balz Engler Poetry and Performance: The Case of Vachel Lindsay The power of print over literary criticism is still so great that all the verbal arts, with the partial exception of drama, are commonly considered in terms of reading -- the silent interaction between a fixed text and an individual. The power of print has been so strong that it has even affected what is left of the art of performing poetry. It has given us the poetry reading, in which the book is the central object, placed between reader and audience. It has given us the reader who speaks with a flat intonation, almost monotonously, and who avoids eye contact with his audience; and it has also given us listeners who turn their glance inwards, sitting motionless, individuals in medita- tion. This, one might say, is the closest the performance of poetry can get to becoming an imitation of reading a book. Under these circumstances, other types of performance, including singing, gesturing and audience participation, have remained an embarrassing Problem to critics, one that can best be dealt with by excluding them from the realm of literature. The reception of Vachel Lindsay is a case in point. T.S. Eliot found him "impossible" after hearing him perform (Perkins 353), and Ezra Pound, who acknowledged his originality, criticized the craftsmanship of his poetry: "Believe 'me one can write it by the hour as fast as one scribbles." (54) Already during his lifetime Lindsay found it difficult to be taken seriously by students of literature, as Henry Seidel Canby's report on a performance at Yale indicates: The nice boys from the ivory towers of the best schools and the Gothic dormitories of Yale tittered at first.

(August 2006) Evert Villarreal, B.A., The University of Texas-Pan American; M.A., The University of Texas-Pan American Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. William Bedford Clark Chapter I of this study is an attempt to articulate and understand the factors that have contributed to Carl Sandburg’s declining trajectory, which has led to a reputation that has diminished significantly in the twentieth century. I note that from the outset of his long career of publication – running from 1904 to 1963 – Sandburg was a literary outsider despite (and sometimes because of) his great public popularity though he enjoyed a national reputation from the early 1920s onward. Chapter II clarifies how Carl Sandburg, in various ways, was attempting to re- invent or re-construct American literature.

    Authors: Langston Hughes By Library of Congress and National Park Service, adapted by Newsela staff on 02.27.17 Word Count 879 Langston Hughes photographed by Carl Van Vechten, 1936. Photo from the Library of Congress Synopsis: Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri, in 1902. He is one of the most important writers and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance. This was an artistic movement in 1920s New York that celebrated African-American life and culture. Through his poetry, novels, plays, essays and children's books, Hughes promoted equality, condemned racism and became a celebrated voice of black culture, humor and spirituality. Early Years Hughes' childhood was one of frequent change and exposure to people of many backgrounds. He was born in 1902 in Joplin, Missouri, but his parents separated when he was very young. His father moved to Mexico, and his mother left him for long periods in search of steady employment. Hughes' grandmother raised him in Lawrence, Kansas, until he was 12. He later lived with his mother and stepfather in Illinois and Ohio. Hughes began writing creatively in high school, exploring his experiences and feelings in poetry. The year 1921 was a pivotal one for Hughes. He traveled to Mexico to be with his father and teach English in Mexican schools. While traveling on a train, he wrote his first significant poem, "The This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. Negro Speaks of Rivers." The poem was published in "The Crisis," a magazine of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading civil rights organization in the United States.

  • A Forgotten Poet”, 99-109
    Balz Engler, Poetry and Community. Tübingen: Stauffenburg, 1990. Chapter 7: “A Forgotten Poet”, 99-109. _________________________________________________________________________ 7. A Forgotten Poet Today Vachel Lindsay is a forgotten poet, and there are few critics who would argue that he is unjustly neglected. Why then need he be discussed at length in this study? There are three reasons. First, the very question why he was forgotten is of interest for the argument of this study. In his time, Vachel Lindsay was considered, along with Edgar Lee Masters and Carl Sandburg, one of the central figures of the Chicago Renaissance, and Harriet Monroe, the editor of Poetry magazine, acknowledged his importance. Marguerite Wilkinson, in her influential anthology New Voices (1919) lists him, along with Robert Frost, as one of the most notable recent poets in the United States. Under these circumstances, it may be worth asking ourselves why and how Lindsay lost what looked like a strong- grid/strong-group position in the literary community. The answers are complicated by the fact that Lindsay has not been forgotten by everybody; he has obviously survived with some readers: In 1981, his Collected Poems went into its twenty-fourth printing. The second reason is that Lindsay--in his idiosyncratic manner--gave attention to many of the problems discussed in the previous chapters and tried to practice the radical solutions at which he arrived. Scrutiny of his work can help us to refine and illustrate distinctions made earlier; at the same time it may also show that Lindsay has indeed been unfairly neglected, because he has not been read and studied on appropriate terms.

  • The Soda Fountain
    Health, Luxury, or Vice? An Objects-Based Exploration of the 1894 Cambridge Drug Store Crisis Before you proceed, read the sections entitled “Preface,” “Learning Objectives,” “Lesson Outline,” and “Preparation” in the document that accompanies this slideshow. These are three objects from the late nineteenth century that were excavated from Harvard Yard. Take a moment to examine them. What do you think each object is? What features stand out to you? The Jacob Pipe “J.H. Hubbard’s Column,” Harvard Advocate, December 20, 1867, 96. Maison Gambier, Catalogue 1894 Vve Hasslauer de Champeaux & Quentin successeurs, 1894, 4, 12, 20, 28, 29. What do you think this object is? What features stand out to you? This is a pipe bowl fragment, probably produced by Maison Gambier, a French pipemaker that produced an estimated two billion clay pipes between 1850 and 1926. Their most famous pipe design was the “Jacob,” a representation of a Turkish man. Jacob was a hot commodity at Harvard, as shown by advertisements in the Harvard Advocate. The Soda Fountain “J.H. Hubbard’s Column,” Harvard Advocate, July 6, 1867, 144. “J.H. Hubbard’s Column,” Harvard Advocate, June 21, 1872, 160. Boston Daily Globe, September 9, 1893, 4. What do you think this object is? What features stand out to you? This bottle is possibly a small container of Bromo-Seltzer, a popular tonic marketed as a headache remedy and sold in several Harvard Square drug stores in the late nineteenth century. Local druggists like J.H. Hubbard advertised their soda fountains as “the best soda in the country.” For this exercise, we’ll use the bottle to represent soda and soda fountains.
