  • The Marianne Moore Collection
    THE MARIANNE MOORE COLLECTION The Marianne Moore Papers The Marianne Moore Library The Marianne Moore Periodicals Collection The Marianne Moore Room ******** The Rosenbach Museum & Library 2010 DeLancey Place Philadelphia PA 19103 (215) 732-1600 www.rosenbach.org THE MARIANNE MOORE COLLECTION General Introduction In 1968, Marianne Craig Moore sold her literary and personal papers to the Rosenbach Museum & Library. In a 1969 codicil to her Will, she added a bequest to the Rosenbach of her apartment furnishings. Upon her death in February 1972, this unusually complete and diverse collection found its permanent home. The collection is remarkable for its inclusiveness. Most visually arresting, her living room (installed on the third floor of the Rosenbach) looks almost exactly as it did in Greenwich Village (at 35 West Ninth Street), her residence from 1965. Books are everywhere. The poet’s personal library, much of it on display in the Moore Room, contains more than 2,000 monographs, plus hundreds of periodicals. Moore retained copies of most of her own books in all their printings. In addition, first appearances of both poems and prose in magazines are present (in the Moore Periodicals Collection), as well as an extensive group of reviews of her work, beginning in 1916. Most of this work is supported by manuscripts in the Moore Papers, from drafts to setting copies of many of her 192 published poems and 72 unpublished poems (whose use is restricted), as well as versions of much of the prose. These in turn, are complemented by extensive working materials. Most informative is a series of commonplace books begun in 1907.

  • The 19Th Amendment
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Women Making History: The 19th Amendment Women The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. —19th Amendment to the United States Constitution In 1920, after decades of tireless activism by countless determined suffragists, American women were finally guaranteed the right to vote. The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. It was ratified by the states on August 18, 1920 and certified as an amendment to the US Constitution on August 26, 1920. Developed in partnership with the National Park Service, this publication weaves together multiple stories about the quest for women’s suffrage across the country, including those who opposed it, the role of allies and other civil rights movements, who was left behind, and how the battle differed in communities across the United States. Explore the complex history and pivotal moments that led to ratification of the 19th Amendment as well as the places where that history happened and its continued impact today. 0-31857-0 Cover Barcode-Arial.pdf 1 2/17/20 1:58 PM $14.95 ISBN 978-1-68184-267-7 51495 9 781681 842677 The National Park Service is a bureau within the Department Front cover: League of Women Voters poster, 1920. of the Interior.

    BOOK REVIEWS Benjamin Franklin, Pennsylvania, and the First Nations: The Treaties of 1736–62. Edited by SUSAN KALTER. (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2006. xiv, 453 pp. Illustrations, notes, glossary, index. $45.) Between 1736 and 1762, Benjamin Franklin published thirteen treaties made between Pennsylvania and the Six Nations Iroquois and their native allies, including the Lenapes and the Shawnees. At these treaty negotiations, leaders from different cultures gathered to determine vital issues of war and peace, regulate intercultural exchange, and seek justice from one another. William Penn’s secretary, James Logan, noted that the 1736 treaty talks in Philadelphia were conducted “in the presence and hearing of some Thousands of our People” (p. 56). Treaty negotiations were public spectacles in an age without many large- scale events. Of enormous importance in the eighteenth century, the treaties were largely forgotten in the nineteenth century, only to be rediscovered in the early twentieth century as a compelling and uniquely American literary form. In 1938, Julian P.Boyd republished the treaties in a single volume with an introduction by Carl Van Doren. According to Van Doren, the “stately folios” printed by Franklin were “after two hundred years the most original and engaging documents of their century in America” (Indian Treaties Printed by Benjamin Franklin, vii). Boyd reproduced the treaties in facsimile on legal-sized paper, in a beautiful edition of five hundred numbered copies. These large, unwieldy, and expensive books have rested in the special collections of major research libraries, often with their pages uncut and unread. This new edition by Susan Kalter will make these important documents much more accessible and available.

So dominant had become the demands of a journalism that catered to a flourishing middle-class public de­ termined to achieve an easy method to "culture," that the literary critic of this period, the eighties and nineties, devised an artificial tradition by which he could protect himself against the democratic so­ ciety with which he was acutely dissatisfied. This tradition was, therefore, conservative in nature. Its values, based on customary taste and training, were selected primarily as a refuge against both the con­ temporary American society

  • James Russell Lowell - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series James Russell Lowell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Russell Lowell(22 February 1819 – 12 August 1891) James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844. He and his wife had several children, though only one survived past childhood. The couple soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper. After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called The Pioneer, which lasted only three issues. He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of A Fable for Critics, a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets. The same year, he published The Biglow Papers, which increased his fame. He would publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career. Maria White died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854.
