    Corporate Impersonation: The Possibilities of Personhood in American Literature, 1886-1917 by Nicolette Isabel Bruner A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee Professor Gregg D. Crane, Chair Professor Susanna L. Blumenthal, University of Minnesota Professor Jonathan L. Freedman Associate Professor Scott R. Lyons “Everything…that the community chooses to regard as such can become a subject—a potential center—of rights, whether a plant or an animal, a human being or an imagined spirit; and nothing, if the community does not choose to regard it so, will become a subject of rights, whether human being or anything else.” -Alexander Nékám, 1938 © Nicolette Isabel Bruner Olson 2015 For my family – past, present, and future. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation could not have been completed without the support of my committee: Gregg Crane, Jonathan Freedman, Scott Lyons, and Susanna Blumenthal. Gregg Crane has been a constant source of advice and encouragement whose intimate knowledge of law and literature scholarship has been invaluable to my own development as a scholar. Jonathan Freedman’s class on “Fictions of Finance” inspired much of the work in this dissertation, as did Susanna Blumenthal’s seminar on “The Concept of the Person” during my time at the University of Michigan Law School. Jonathan’s good humor, grace, and sympathetic yet critical eye have profoundly shaped my work. As I have expanded my research into animal studies, Scott Lyons guided me to new intellectual domains. Finally, ever since I began working with her during my first year of law school, Susanna has been a source of wisdom, encouragement, and generosity.

  • Illegal Fencing on the Colorado Range
    Illegal Fencing on the Colorado Range BY WILLIAM R. WHITE The end of the Civil War witnessed a boom in the cattle business in the western states. Because of the depletion of eastern herds during the war, a demand for cheap Texas beef in­ creased steadily during the late eighteen-sixties and the early eighteen-seventies. This beef also was in demand by those in­ dividuals who planned to take advantage of the free grass on the Great Plains, which had remained untouched prior to the war, except by the buffalo. Each year thousands of Texas cattle were driven north to stock the various ranges claimed by numerous cattlemen or would-be cattlemen. The usual practice of an aspir­ ing cattleman was to register a homestead claim along some stream where the ranch house and outbuildings were con­ structed. His cattle then were grazed chiefly upon the public lands where they "were merely on sufferance and not by right of any grant or permission from the government. " 1 The Homestead, Preemption, Timber Culture, and Desert Land acts had been enacted to enable persons to secure government land easily, but "the amount of acreage allowed was not even remotely enough to meet the needs of the western stockgrowers. " 2 Although the government land laws were not designed for cattlemen, they made extensive use of them. The statutes served the cattlemen, however, only as the cattlemen violated the spirit of the law. 3 During the sixties and the seventies cattlemen tended to respect the range claims of their neighbors and "the custom of priority-the idea of squatter sovereignty met the 1 Clifford P.

It argues that, whilst an increasingly democratised night allowed for more opportunities for previously marginalised groups, popular media of the period largely promoted adherence to the status quo. The thesis draws on extensive primary source material, including eighty British feature films and newspaper samples of the Daily Mail, Daily Express and Daily Mirror to systematically analyse the representation of London’s nightlife in the British interwar period. This period saw the consolidation of the popular daily newspaper industry and, after government intervention, an expansion of the domestic film industry. The interwar period also saw great social change with universal suffrage, technological developments and an economic crisis.

The audiences were widely different in character. They included pupils of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, students in high school and normal school, teachers in the public schools, an association of business men, and a convention of boards of education.

In every case, the same sentiment was voiced: "If there were only some book which would give us these facts in simple language and illustrate them by maps and charts as you have done!" After searching the market for a book of this sort without success, the author determined to put the subject of his talks into manuscript form.
