  • View of the New Deal at the National Level
    “THE BEST FORM OF ASSISTANCE ALWAYS IS THE KIND THAT ENABLES FOLKS TO HELP THEMSELVES”: PUBLIC REACTION TO THE NEW DEAL IN HANCOCK, SENECA, AND WOOD COUNTIES OF OHIO Anthony J. Bolton A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Michael Brooks © 2021 Anthony J. Bolton All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor The Great Depression and New Deal had a profound impact on the United States. It led to the need for fundamental changes in the nation, especially regarding the federal government’s role and size. The beginning of the Great Depression marked the end of the “New Era” that the United States had experienced in the 1920s. However, one group of Americans—farmers—did not participate in this “New Era,” including those in three Northwestern Ohio counties: Hancock, Seneca, and Wood. This study analyzes through voting and media analysis how these three counties reacted to the Great Depression and the New Deal from 1929 to 1936. As the Depression continued to worsen, their suffering continued and even worsened, and with Herbert Hoover’s inability to provide relief or a path to recovery, these counties and the rest of the nation turned to Franklin Roosevelt and his promise of a “new deal” to provide that relief. Within these counties, the New Deal was initially seen as successful; however, it was soon seen as having a corrosive effect on traditional American values. Because of this, these counties rejected Roosevelt and the New Deal in 1936, while the rest of the nation overwhelmingly supported him.

  • Eng 4936 Syllabus
    ENG 4936 (Honors Seminar): Reading Science Fiction: The Pulps Professor Terry Harpold Spring 2019, Section 7449 Time: MWF, per. 5 (11:45 AM–12:35 PM) Location: Little Hall (LIT) 0117 office hours: M, 4–6 PM & by appt.

Named for the inexpensive wood pulp paper on which they were printed, they varied widely as to genre, including aviation fiction, fantasy, horror and weird fiction, detective and crime fiction, railroad fiction, romance, science fiction, sports stories, war fiction, and western fiction. In the pulps’ heyday a bookshop or newsstand might offer dozens of different magazines on these subjects, often from the same publishers and featuring work by the same writers, with lurid, striking cover and interior art by the same artists. The magazines are, moreover, chock-full of period advertising targeted at an emerging readership, mostly – but not exclusively – male and subject to predictable The first issue of Amazing Stories, April 1926. Editor Hugo Gernsback worries and aspirations during the Depression and Pre- promises “a new sort of magazine,” WWII eras. (“Be a Radio Expert!

Columbus’ (technically or genealogically non-fictional) letter on the Eden he glimpsed beyond the Orinoco mouth, and Swift’s (technically non-factual) voyage to ‘Laputa, Balnibarbi, Glubbdubdrib, Luggnagg and Japan,’ stand at the opposite ends of a ban between imaginary and factual possibilities. Thus, SF takes off from a fictional (‘Literary’) hypothesis and develops it with extrapolating and totalizing (‘scientific’) rigor– in genre, Columbus and Swift are more alike than different. –Darko Suvin, “On the Poetics of the Science Fiction Genre” Science Fiction is not about the future; it uses the future as a narrative convention to present significant distortions of the present.

  • Fantastic Worlds #2
    THE ACKERMAN STORY by Sam Sackett . Tucker . Browne • Neville IB VERY DAY the Postman passeth, and envelopes tumble upon your ed- ISitor's desk. Some are like gentle rain, a few like hailstones; and occasionally there is a king-sized thunderbolt. Most numerous are the gentle-rain type, the simple communica­ tions: "Enclosed find 25/ for a sample copy of your magazine," or "That first issue of yours was great," or "Here is a short yam I want you to consider." All of which are well and good# But then come those hailstones. A 50,000-word manuscript, dog-eared and wrinkled, bearing cigarette bums and coffee stains of every editorial office from Curtis to Standard, and with this note: "If you don't like this, just throw it away. It's too beat up, and I don't like it much anyway." By an odd coincidence, we didn't like it much either. Or manuscripts with notes like this: "Just don't have enough dough for return postage, so the return trip—if any—is on you." Remembering the days when we used to sacrifice lunch in order to solve a similar problem, we weren't too impressed by such subtle humor. Then there was the lady in Maine who naively thunderbolted, "I red your first ishue and spechully liked the stories by Trueman Capote and Anthony Butcher. I hope you kan offord to pay more than 3 dollars a storie soon." At which, we hastened to explain that our magazine was Fantastic Worlds and that our name was not Howard Browne.

  • 2019-07-08 Catalog P
    Pulp-related books and periodicals available from Mike Chomko for July and August 2019 Given that I’m writing these words in early September, I’m way behind on my bookselling chores. As I’ve relayed via email, between PulpFest 2019 and helping my wife with her mother — now in hospice care — this summer has been extremely busy. PulpFest is over for another year — actually eleven months, given the timing of this catalog. The convention’s organizing committee is already working on next year’s gathering. It will take place August 6 - 9 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh — Cranberry, located in Mars, Pennsylvania. PulpFest 2020 will focus on Bradbury, BLACK MASK, and Brundage. We may even throw in a touch of Brackett and Burroughs for good measure. In October, we’ll be announcing our very special guest of honor. Over the Labor Day weekend, Dianne and I drove to the Burlington area of Vermont to acquire a substantial collection of pulps, digests, vintage paperbacks, first edition hardcovers, underground comics, fanzines, and more. The primary focus of the magazine collection is the science fiction genre. There are also miscellaneous periodicals from the adventure, detective, hero, spicy, and war genres. The collection contains magazines in both the pulp and digest formats. The vintage paperbacks run the gamut of genres that are popular in that area of book collecting. PulpFest will begin selling the collection via auction during our 2020 convention. Given its size, it will take a number of years to disperse the entire collection. Now begins the difficult and time-consuming work of organizing, cataloging, lotting, and photographing the collection.
