Lombardi Spring 2010 DEDICATION To my partner Jenny and our son Hawk, for their love, patience, and support: I dedicate this project to them. And in memory of my mother, Marge Lombardi, in whose library I found Coleridge Walks the Fells and A Walking Tour in Southern France many years ago. She loved literature, history, and nature, and was herself a prodigious walker. Her spirit permeates my approach to this endeavor. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In Fall of 2007 I came to Dr. Geoff Baker with a request: direct me to sources that will provide me with the language to talk about space, particularly the language of fictional spaces. He introduced me to the work of Bachelard, Anderson, Moretti, McClure, and Lefebvre. Many others remain names on a long reading list that I am certain will enrich my literary studies for years to come. I owe Dr. Baker a debt of gratitude for his interest in my pursuits, his support of my scholarship, and for acting as my advisor to the Graduate Equity Fellowship I received that eventually made much of the present work possible. I would also like to acknowledge the guidance and support of Dr. Andrea Lerner, who introduced me to the work of Annette Kolodny, Roderick Nash, Frederick Turner, and Henry Nash Smith. I am indebted to Dr.

  • The Luck of Roaring Camp Bret Harte (1836-1902)

    The Luck of Roaring Camp Bret Harte (1836-1902)

    1 Bret Harte (1839-1902) The Luck of Roaring Camp Bret Harte (1836-1902) was an American writer and journalist best known today for his tales of the California gold rush. Important in his own day, he was roundly criticized by Mark Twain for his lack of realism, among other failings. His most widely-read stories are “The Outcasts of Poker Flat” (1869) and “The Luck of Roaring Camp,” published in 1868 in the Overland Monthly. There was commotion in Roaring Camp. It could not have been a fight, for in 1850 that was not novel enough to have called together the entire settlement. The ditches and claims were not only deserted, but “Tuttle's grocery” had contributed its gamblers, who, it will be remembered, calmly continued their game the day that French Pete and Kanaka Joe shot each other to death over the bar in the front room. The whole camp was collected before a rude cabin on the outer edge of the clearing. Conversation was carried on in a low tone, but the name of a woman was frequently repeated. It was a name familiar enough in the camp,—”Cherokee Sal.” Perhaps the less said of her the better. She was a coarse and, it is to be feared, a very sinful woman. But at that time she was the only woman in Roaring Camp, and was just then lying in sore extremity, when she most needed the ministration of her own sex. Dissolute, abandoned, and irreclaimable, she was yet suffering a martyrdom hard enough to bear even when veiled by sympathizing womanhood, but now terrible in her loneliness.

Murdock, of San Francisco. Recalling Mr. Murdock's active service of all good causes, and more particularly his devotion to the cause of liberal religion through a period of more than half a century, the board decided to recognize the anniversary, which fell on January 26, 1921, by securing the publication of a volume of Mr. Murdock's essays. A committee was appointed to carry out the project, composed of Rev. H.E.B. Speight (chairman), Rev. C.S.S.

Little did I know when I chose to research a small Oregon cemetery that I would go back to that cemetery as a graduate student, drawn to the grave of a Chinese man who had been buried as an “Indian Unknown.” My curiosity about that Chinese man grew into additional research on railroad construction and the plight of Chinese-Americans in the late nineteenth century.

    ERICAN LOCAL COLOR in the BRITISH ISLES Lawson, Jr

    /vo I 11,-7 ERICAN LOCAL COLOR IN THE BRITISH ISLES Lawson, Jr. Committee swvn en<b> 525633 -YW . 12/1 il ABSTRACT The reception In various foreign countries of the work of major American writers like Emerson, Whitman, and Twain has been the subject of scholarly inquiry. The present stu­ dy is an extension of this approach to some minor American authors whose work, even among critics, is assumed to be in­ digenous and national. The investigation both makes clear a foreign image of America and helps us to understand what, in their time, the local color writers were. Both the na­ ture of the British reception of these writers and the rea­ sons for it are treated. The approach here has been to examine the contemporary reputations in the British Isles of American local color writers from four broad geographical areas—the Far West, the Midwest, the South, and New England. The particular writers studied include Joaquin Miller, Helen Hunt Jackson, Mary Hallock Foote, Edward Eggleston, John Hay, James Whit­ comb Riley, Will Carleton, Alice French, George Washington Cable, Mary Murfree, Thomas Nelson Page, Joel Chandler Har­ ris, Mary E. Wilkins, and Sarah Orne Jewett. Bret Harte, the subject of this sort of inquiry elsewhere, is also re­ ferred to at times, and reviews of his work appear in the annotated bibliography with which the work concludes. Mostly from English periodicals, the more than three- hundred annotated reviews and articles appearing in the bib­ liography were taken as the indicators of taste for a signi­ ficant segment of the British public.
