USC Libraries Special Collections 2018 May Doheny Memorial Library 206 3550 Trousdale Parkway Los Angeles, California 90089-0189 [email protected] URL: http://libraries.usc.edu/locations/special-collections Finding Aid for the Hamlin 0200 1 Garland papers 0200 Language of Material: English Contributing Institution: USC Libraries Special Collections Title: Hamlin Garland papers creator: Garland, Hamlin, 1860-1940 Identifier/Call Number: 0200 Physical Description: 74.42 Linear Feet139 boxes Date (inclusive): 1850-2018 Date (bulk): 1890-1940 Abstract: The Hamlin Garland papers consist of correspondence, manuscripts, notebooks, photographs, and memorabilia, by and about the American realist writer. Hamlin Garland (1860-1940) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author who once held the title of "Dean of American Letters" and counted many of the prominent literary figures of his time as friends. This collection holds close to 10,000 of Garland's letters, which are now digitized and available via the USC Digital Library. Garland's literary notebooks and manuscripts--with the author's revisions--are also included, documenting the early working stages of Garland's autobiographies and memoirs, fiction, plays, poetry, published articles, and lectures. The Garland papers also contain the typescripts, notebooks, interview transcripts, correspondence, and research material created by Garland for his biography of Ulysses S. Grant published in 1898. Lastly, the collection holds hundreds of the Garland family's photographs and memorabilia dating as early as the 1850s. Biographical note Hamlin Garland (1860-1940) is best remembered by the title he gave to one of his autobiographies: as a "Son of the Middle Border." First receiving notice with a successful collection of grimly naturalistic "down home" stories in "Main-Travelled Roads" (1891), Garland came to prominence just as the "frontier" mentality was receding in the wake of the settling of California and the West. Garland, with roots in Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest, frequently wrote about how this area had also been borderland in his lifetime. In later years, Garland wrote extensively about American Indian affairs, land conservation, art, and literary trends; he also expanded his geographic range to include romances of the Far West, yet it was the reminiscences of his early years which stamped him in the public mind, and to which he turned repeatedly for inspiration. Garland was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1918, and won the 1922 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography for his work, "A Daughter of the Middle Border". Following this honor, Garland acceded to the unofficial title of "Dean of American Letters." In 1929, Garland moved to Southern California, where he built a house on DeMille Drive in Hollywood. He lectured at USC in the mid-1930s; and his personal library along with some 8000 letters from fellow writers, publishers, and admirers came to USC after Garland's death, forming the cornerstone of the American Literature Collection. Historical note By the terms of his bequest, a large part of Hamlin Garland's library came to the University of Southern California in 1939-1940. The author died in March of 1940, and in November the University Library announced the acquisition by purchase of Garland's personal papers and correspondence. Although he had drawn quite close to USC during his final decade, receiving an honorary doctorate from the University in 1935, Garland long held out the idea of placing his papers with an institution in the East or Mid-West, geographically closer to the parts of the country he most closely identified with. He left final disposition of the archive to Mrs. Garland, however, who saw the merit of adding her husband's papers to the USC library's growing American Literature collection. In the years immediately following 1940, much of the material that Garland had loaned for exhibition was retrieved by USC. His first scholarly biographer, Eldon C. Hill at the University of Miami (Ohio), also returned letters, books, and manuscripts, which Garland had placed at his disposal during the writing of Hill's dissertation. The Garland collection moved out of cartons and file cabinets after 1950, when Professor Bruce E. McElderry (English) assumed the task of describing and analyzing the entire archive. Concurrently, Lloyd Arvidson of the library staff, with particular responsibility for the American Literature holdings, was preparing his Bibliography of the Published Writings of Hamlin Garland; and it became his next goal to draw up the detailed checklist of the Garland collection, which the library published as a paper-bound octavo booklet in 1962. Through the offices of Mark Rocha (Humboldt State University), an addendum to the Garland collection was acquired in 1988, consisting for the most part of family memorabilia (photographs, scrapbooks, and personal correspondence) belonging to Garland's wife, Zulime Taft Garland, and his daughters, Mary Isabel Garland Lord and Constance Garland Doyle. Donald Pizer of Tulane University also contributed supplementary material to the collection. Scope and Content Finding Aid for the Hamlin 0200 2 Garland papers 0200 The Hamlin Garland papers consist of nearly eight hundred manuscripts of Garland's writings, dozens of his literary notebooks, many hundreds of photographs and other memorabilia, and parts of Garland's personal library (cataloged separately from his papers). It also contains close to 10,000 letters, largely unpublished, including many letters from such correspondents as James M. Barrie, Joseph Conrad, Thomas Hardy, and A. A. Milne of England, and from Americans such as Walt Whitman, William Dean Howells, Stephen Crane, Gertrude Atherton, and Willa Cather. Lastly, this collection holds Garland family memorabilia belonging to Garland's wife, Zulime Taft Garland and his daughters, Mary Isabel Garland Lord and Constance Garland Doyle, along with supplementary material added to the collection by USC librarians and researchers through their processing and use of the Hamlin Garland papers. Collection highlights include sheets of then-fashionable spirit-writing; transcripts of séances in which Garland participated; a handwritten translation of Salvatore Farina's play "Il Signor Io" made by Garland's close friend, Henry Blake Fuller; and a 100-page fragmentary dramatization of William Dean Howells' novel, "A Hazard of New Fortunes"--later published by New York University Press in "The Complete Plays of W. D. Howells". Artifacts in the collection trace the story of Garland's life, starting with the well-worn slate he carried to school as a small boy in Wisconsin and Iowa in the 1870s, pictures and autographs of schoolmates, and the 1881 graduation program of the Cedar Valley Seminary of Osage, Iowa (where Garland debated the question, "Should the Negro exodus be encouraged?"). Other items include the ledger-type notebooks in which Garland transcribed passages from Thomas Paine, notes from his time of intensive study in the Boston Public Library, and clippings of his first writings and announcements of lectures accompanied by the manuscripts of the lectures themselves. Programs and announcements in the collection document Garland's leading role in founding an independent, naturalistic theater in 1891-1892 with James A. Herne, while further notebooks record his interviews with Civil War veterans during the preparations of his biography, "Ulysses S. Grant: His Life and Character". Itineraries and speech outlines tell of his campaign on behalf of Henry George and the Single Tax movement. Book contracts and manuscripts indicate Garland's rise as a leading author in American literature. The Hamlin Garland papers also hold the manuscript of Garland's last, unpublished memoir documenting his California years, "The Fortunate Exiles", and a copy of the 1940 Venice High School yearbook, "Argonaut", with its posthumous tribute to Garland, who had died that spring. [Adapted from notes by Lloyd Arvidson, from "Library Staff Bulletin" (March 15, 1960)]. Thanks to generous support from the National Historical Publications & Records Commission, the USC Libraries digitized Garland's collection of correspondence for online public access. Digital surrogates of all of Garland's letters can be found via the USC Digital Library. Arrangement The Hamlin Garland papers are organized into 13 series; each series corresponds generally to a format or a broad subject area. Within each series, items are generally arranged alphabetically by title or subject (when appropriate). Occasionally, as for the Garland notebooks, a chronological arrangement is used. This arrangement was created for the original checklist of the collection and has been maintained during subsequent processing efforts. Access Advance notice required for access. Publication Rights All requests for permission to publish or quote from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Manuscripts Librarian. Permission for publication is given on behalf of Special Collections as the owner of the physical materials and is not intended to include or imply permission of the copyright holder, which must also be obtained.

  • THE MEDIUMSHIP of ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship
    THE MEDIUMSHIP OF ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship by HARRY EDWARDS Captain, Indian Army Reserve of Officers. Lieutenant, Home Guard. Parliamentary Candidate North Camberwell 1929 and North-West Camberwell 1936. London County Council Candidate 1928, 1931, 1934, 1937. Leader of the Balham Psychic Research Society. Author of ‘The Mediumship of Jack Webber’ First Published by: THE PSYCHIC BOOK CLUB 144 High Holborn, London, W.C. 1 FOREWORD Apart from the report by Mr. W. Harrison of the early development of Mr. Arnold Clare's mediumship, the descriptions of the séances, the revelations of Peter and the writing of this book took place during the war years 1940-41. As enemy action on London intensified, the physical séances ceased and in the autumn of 1940 were replaced by discussion circles. The first few circles took place in the author's house before a company of about twenty people. It was soon appreciated that the intelligence (known as Peter), speaking through the entranced medium, was of a high order and worthy of reporting. So these large discussion groups gave way to a small circle held in the medium's house, attended by Mr. and Mrs. Clare, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Edwards and the author, an occasional visitor and with Mrs. W. B. Cleveland as stenographer. The procedure at these circles would be that, in normal white light, Mr. Clare would enter into a trance state. His Guide, Peter, taking control, would discourse upon the selected topic answering all questions fluently and without hesitation. Frequently, during these sittings, the air-raid sirens would be heard and the local anti- aircraft guns would be in action.

  • The Gilded Age
    The Gilded Age Historian Allen Nevins, in The Emergence of Modern America, described the Gilded Age—the era between the end of the Civil War and the Beginning of World War I—as a “period of currency inflation, widespread speculation, overexpansion of industry, loud booming of dubious enterprises, base business and political morals, and flashy manners….” He was correct, but only partially. Greed, fraud, and selfishness were surely widespread, but there occurred also in this age the organization of labor, some regulation of the economy, and an expansion of education. If there were those guilty of gilding society’s face, there were also those who sought to break through the gilt façade to a harder, if darker, reality. Among this group were the writers of this series—Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, Kate Chopin, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Jack London. When Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner published The Gilded Age: A Tale of To-day in 1873, they began with a mock apology for their treatment of: “an entirely ideal state of society… where there is no fever of speculation, no inflamed desire for sudden wealth, where the poor are all simple- minded and contented, and the rich are all honest and generous, where society is in a condition of primitive purity, and politics is the occupation of only the capable and the patriotic.” The sardonic social criticism that follows the preface aims to prick many falsehoods of the age. And with realism as a tool, many American writers took up just that aim. With William Dean Howells as its popular and influential spokesman, literary realism ranged from genteel to ruthless, and its targets of reform included a spectrum of social ills.

  • Dissociation and the Unconscious Mind: Nineteenth-Century Perspectives on Mediumship
    Journal of Scientifi c Exploration, Vol. 34, No. 3, pp. 537–596, 2020 0892-3310/20 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Dissociation and the Unconscious Mind: Nineteenth-Century Perspectives on Mediumship C!"#$% S. A#&!"!'$ Parapsychology Foundation [email protected] Submitted December 18, 2019; Accepted March 21, 2020; Published September 15, 2020 https://doi.org/10.31275/20201735 Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC Abstract—There is a long history of discussions of mediumship as related to dissociation and the unconscious mind during the nineteenth century. A! er an overview of relevant ideas and observations from the mesmeric, hypnosis, and spiritualistic literatures, I focus on the writings of Jules Baillarger, Alfred Binet, Paul Blocq, Théodore Flournoy, Jules Héricourt, William James, Pierre Janet, Ambroise August Liébeault, Frederic W. H. Myers, Julian Ochorowicz, Charles Richet, Hippolyte Taine, Paul Tascher, and Edouard von Hartmann. While some of their ideas reduced mediumship solely to intra-psychic processes, others considered as well veridical phenomena. The speculations of these individuals, involving personation, and di" erent memory states, were part of a general interest in the unconscious mind, and in automatisms, hysteria, and hypnosis during the period in question. Similar ideas continued into the twentieth century. Keywords: mediumship; dissociation; secondary personalities; Frederic W. H. Myers; Théodore Flournoy; Pierre Janet INTRODUCTION Dissociation, a process involving the disconnection of a sense of identity, physical sensations, and memory from conscious experience, has been related to mediumship due to the latter’s sensory and motor automatism and changes of identity. In recent years there have been some conceptual discussions of dissociation and mediumship (e.g., Maraldi et al., 2019) as well as empirical studies exploring their 538 Carlos S.

  • Road to Spiritism
    THE ROAD TO SPIRITISM By MARIA ENEDINA LIMA BEZERRA A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2002 Copyright 2002 By Maria Enedina Lima Bezerra To my beloved parents, Abelardo and Edinir Bezerra, for all the emotional and spiritual support that they gave me throughout this journey; and to the memory of my most adored grandmother, Maria do Carmo Lima, who helped me sow the seeds of the dream that brought me here. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My first expressions of gratitude go to my parents for always having believed in me and supported my endeavors and for having instilled in me their heart-felt love for learning and for peoples and lands beyond our own. Without them, I would not have grown to be such a curious individual, always interested in leaving my familiar surroundings and learning about other cultures. My deepest gratitude goes to the Spiritists who so warmly and openly welcomed me in their centers and so generously dedicated their time so that 1 could conduct my research. With them I learned about Spiritism and also learned to accept and respect a faith different from my own. It would be impossible for me to list here the names of all the Spiritists I interviewed and interacted with. In particular, I would like to thank the people of Grupo Espirita Paulo e Estevao, Centra Espirita Pedro, o Apostolo de Jesus, and Centro Espirita Grao de Mostarda. Without them, this study would not have been possible.
