The Role of Folklore in Hawthorne's Literary Nationalism INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5.

Stephens. Pp. 217. Although Hawthorne's use of folklore material has been previously studied, no attempt has been made prior to this study to relate that usage to Hawthorne's attempt to establish himself as an American writer. The central contention of this study is that Hawthorne used folklore to establish himself as a literary nationalist, one who used indigenous resources to write literature peculiarly appropriate to the American culture. Hawthorne used seven types of folklore in his short fiction: legends, marchen, oral tradition, folkloric characters, folklore motifs, folkloric themes, and witchcraft and the supernatural. An examination of the changes which occur in the way these materials are used from 1825 to 1850 indicates that Hawthorne wrote primarily as a literary national­ ist until the publication of Twice-Told Tales. A survey of the milieu of literary nationalism during Hawthorne's time shows ten writers who probably affected Hawthorne's practice by using one or more of the same types of folklore in developing a native literature. They were James Kirlqe Paulding, William Cullen Bryant, John Neal, Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, William Austin, John Greenleaf Whittier, Catherine M. Sedgwick, Sara Josepha Hale, and William Leete Stone. Hawthorne knew all of these writers either personally, by their literary reputation, or because, like him, they published in the New England Magazine, The Token, or the Democratic Review. In addition, several literary critics writing in the North American Review—William Tudor, J. G. Palfrey and W. C. Gardiner—were influential by encouraging American writers to use the American past in fiction. Using the evidence that Hawthorne changed his folklore usage in various ways during his apprenticeship and pointing out direct influences from literary nationalists where it is demonstrable, this study shows how Hawthorne struggled to identify himself as a nationalistic writer during the decade from the late 1820's to the late 1830's. There are two dimensions to his literary nationalism: (1) the use of folklore resources to implement, themes about the continuance of the nation's past into the present, (2) the attempt to show the surface peculiarities of the nation's culture. The first dimension is most apparent in "Provincial Tales," his planned volume of stories from the late 1820's, which he was unable to publish, partially because it lacked the patriotic themes the decade favored. His next planned volume, "The Story Teller," gives evidence of a changed nationalistic intention, with Hawthorne concentrating on show­ ing the panoramic present of the American culture through the use of American scenery, character types, and folkloric narratives. Although each of the ten writers and several critics may have been influential in minor ways, the major influences came from Irving, Neal, Hale^and Paulding. Hawthorne achieved public recognition as a literary nationalist with Twice-Told Tales (1837 and 1842), where he offered a blend of the two nationalistic emphases in his earlier work. Thereafter his themes become less national, more universal, and his work shows less folklore usage. Twice in his later career, however, when he published The Snow Image and when he was writing Sept Indus Felton, Hawthorne returned to folklore resources, in apparent recognition they had served him well. Such resources influenced his romances. His use of legends and oral tradition helped shape his theory of romance, characters like Chillingworth and Westervelt show the influence of the wizard character type, and the folkloric theme of the influence of the past is evident until The House of the Seven Gables.

CONCLUSION 200 BIBLIOGRAPHY 205 v 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A few short years after American independence had Been won, the question most troubling creative writers was how- to achieve literary independence from Europe. With their originality threat­ ened by the strong traditions of Gothicism and the sentimental „ romance from abroad, and with their own first efforts criticized or ridiculed by English writers and skeptics- at home, American writers searched for native material to create a national litera­ ture. Indigenous folklore was an invaluable resource they found, providing the best writers, including Nathaniel ITawthorne, with a means of achieving nationalism and greatness. Hawthorne is not commonly thought to have been active in the drive to write a national literature; most scholarship treats- him chiefly as the first American writer to explore man's interior motivations and conflicts. Yet a substantial amount of scholarship exists indicating Hawthorne's interest in American folklore, raising the question previously not discussed and central to this paper of the relationship between his interest in folklore and his desire to become known as an American writer, to write a literature using American resources. The folklore Hawthorne uses is of seven types, each of which is discussed at greater length in Chapter 2 of this paper: legends, marchen, oral tradition, folkloric characters-, folklore motifs, folkloric themes, and witchcraft and the supernatural. 2 By examining Hawthorne's use of this folklore throughout the period when he was struggling to become known to the American public, from 1825 to 1840 primarily, one finds evidence that he used folklore in an attempt to write a literature having national significance, in response to the calls of prominent critics and authors for a national literature. When one examines each type of folklore usage in chrono­ logical development, certain shifts in its function become apparent, indicating changes, adjustments,and new directions in Hawthorne's rationale for writing.

  • Appalling! Terrifying! Wonderful! Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South
    Antoni Górny Appalling! Terrifying! Wonderful! Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South Abstract: The so-called blaxploitation genre – a brand of 1970s film-making designed to engage young Black urban viewers – has become synonymous with channeling the political energy of Black Power into larger-than-life Black characters beating “the [White] Man” in real-life urban settings. In spite of their urban focus, however, blaxploitation films repeatedly referenced an idea of the South whose origins lie in antebellum abolitionist propaganda. Developed across the history of American film, this idea became entangled in the post-war era with the Civil Rights struggle by way of the “race problem” film, which identified the South as “racist country,” the privileged site of “racial” injustice as social pathology.1 Recently revived in the widely acclaimed works of Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained) and Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave), the two modes of depicting the South put forth in blaxploitation and the “race problem” film continue to hold sway to this day. Yet, while the latter remains indelibly linked, even in this revised perspective, to the abolitionist vision of emancipation as the result of a struggle between idealized, plaintive Blacks and pathological, racist Whites, blaxploitation’s troping of the South as the fulfillment of grotesque White “racial” fantasies offers a more powerful and transformative means of addressing America’s “race problem.” Keywords: blaxploitation, American film, race and racism, slavery, abolitionism The year 2013 was a momentous one for “racial” imagery in Hollywood films. Around the turn of the year, Quentin Tarantino released Django Unchained, a sardonic action- film fantasy about an African slave winning back freedom – and his wife – from the hands of White slave-owners in the antebellum Deep South.

In typically acerbic fashion, he retrospectively judged his experiences in Los Angeles to be “unreal and inconclusive, almost as though they hadn't happened at all.” Coward described his festive jaunt through Hollywood’s social merry-go-round as like careering “through the side-shows of some gigantic pleasure park at breakneck speed” accompanied by “blue-ridged cardboard mountains, painted skies [and] elaborate grottoes peopled with several familiar figures.”1 3 Coward’s first visit persuaded him that California was not the place to settle and he for one only ever made fleeting visits to the movie colony, but the description he offered, and the delicious dismissal of Hollywood’s “fabricated” community, became common currency if one examines other British accounts of life on the west coast at this time.

  • The Human Use of Human Beings
    THE HUMAN USE OF HUl\IAN BEINGS This is one of the fundamental documents of our time, a period characterized by the concepts of 'information' and 'communica­ tions'. Norbert Wiener, a child prodigy and a great mathematician, coined the term 'cybernetics' to characterize a very general science of 'control and communication in the animal and machine'. It brought together concepts from engineering, the study of the nervous system and statistical mechanics (e.g. entropy). From these he developed concepts that have become pervasive through science (especially biology and computing) and common parlance: 'in­ formation', 'message', 'feedback' and 'control'. He wrote, 'the thought of every age is reflected in its technique ... If the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries are the age of clocks, and the later eighteenth and nineteenth centuries constitute the age of steam engines, the present time is the age of communication and control.' In this volume Norbert Wiener spells out his theories for the general reader and reflects on the social issues raised by the dramatically increasing role of science and technology in the new age - the age in which we are now deeply and problematically embroiled. His cautionary remarks are as relevant now as they were when the book first appeared in the 1950s. Norbert Wiener (1894-1964), Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1919 onwards, wrote numerous books on mathematics and engineering. Having de­ veloped methods useful to the military during World War Two, he later refused to do such work during the Cold War, while proposing non-military models of cybernetics.

This article suggests that the modern notion of the ‘Hunt’ was created by Jacob Grimm, who conflated different medieval traditions with modern folklore. It further argues that a different approach to the study of medieval spirit processions, which confines itself to medieval and early modern sources and distinguishes between the types of procession described in them, results in different conclusions, with regard both to the character of the ‘Hunt’ and to its relationship with the sabbath. Introduction ‘In German and Celtic legend, the Wild Hunt consisted of a band of ghosts or spirits who would ride through the night.
