Ell Wish List 4-23-17 ELL WISH LIST 4-23-17 (Detailed instructions for use by Librarians of the maintenance file (Wish List.xlxs file) are in the Library Procedures Manual.) REMEMBER: ALL DONATED BOOKS MUST BE IN GOOD CONDITION. TO LOOK THROUGH A CATEGORY, use the scroll bar to move up or down through the file. There are 6 categories: Category # of Books Page# Fiction ~190 2-6 Historical Fiction ~ 50 7-8 Non-Fiction ~100 9-11 Biography & Autobiography ~ 50 12-13 History ~100 14-16 Children's ~100 17-19 Note: All categories are sorted by Title, except for Children's, which is organized by age groups and is not sorted into any particular order within the age groups. TO LOCATE A SPECIFIC BOOK, proceed as follows: 1. From the Taskbar, click the spyglass icon, 2. In the Find pop-up window , enter all or part of either the book title or an author’s name and click NEXT, 3. Continue clicking NEXT, until program reports no additional matches were found. About search criterion: When you enter search criterion into the FIND box, what you enter is what you get! For example, if you enter the words "The", "A", or "An" as part of a title, the system is going to find a lot of books, because these words are in many book titles. Same thing for authors' names, if the author has a common first name. So, omit common words, such as "The", "A" and "An" in title searches and avoid common first names, like "John", when searching with an author's name. Probably the best way to search by author, is to use the author's last name only. If there is a "Y" in the HAVE? column, the Library already has a copy. 1 | 19 FICTION (In Order by TITLE) TITLE AUTHOR HAVE? This list is from two separate on-line lists.

  • Medieval Art & Architecture
    Medieval Art & Architecture The Libraries of Professor Joachim Gaehde, Brandeis University and Dr. Lillian M.C. Randall, Curator of Manuscripts and Rare Books, Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore 1,288 titles in ca. 1,475 physical volumes From Brandeis Universisty website Remembering Joachim Gaehde, professor emeritus of fine arts Joachim Gaehde Nov. 26, 2013 Joachim Gaehde, professor emeritus of fine arts, passed away Nov. 24, of pneumonia. He was 92 and lived in Arlington, Mass. A scholar of Carolingian illuminated manuscripts, Gaehde was the eminence grise of the Department of Fine Arts for most of his long tenure at Brandeis, said his colleague Nancy Scott, associate professor of fine arts. Gaehde was born in Dresden, Germany, in 1921. His mother was Jewish, and he survived most of the war years in Nazi Germany. He emigrated to the United States in 1950 and later earned his doctoral degree from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. In 1962, Gaehde joined the Brandeis faculty as an associate professor and was promoted to full professor in 1969. He also served as dean of the faculty in the 1970s under President Marver Bernstein. Scott said that Gaehde defined the field of medieval studies at Brandeis, and became well known for his rigorous course studies; his kindly concern and manner toward students; and his wit, elegance and dedication. “As a colleague, [he] held the department to high standards, and at the same time he enjoyed the pleasures of his American life — he favored a blue Fiat convertible, which he drove with the top down in all kinds of weather; loved his Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs, which were part of his daily constitutionals; and was a gourmet cook,” recalled Scott.

    SPEECH MADE UNABLE: INEXPRESSIBILITY, SUBLIMITY, AND NOTHINGNESS IN KING LEAR AND ITS RECEPTION By JAMES TRYGVE NEWLIN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 James Trygve Newlin 2 To Trygve Tonnessen, my grandfather 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Appropriately enough for a study attentive to failure and problems of expression, this dissertation is the result of many false starts, detours, and drafts. I am grateful to the many colleagues, family members, and friends whose support and encouragement made completion possible. I owe an enormous debt to my dissertation committee. I thank my chair, Richard Burt, and my readers, R. Allen Shoaf, Terry Harpold, and Eric Kligerman. This project is the result of not only their suggestions, but also their inspiration. I am also grateful to the English department at the University of Florida for offering a supportive intellectual atmosphere, and for providing opportunities to complete and present my work. I was able to complete this project thanks to the funding awarded from the Graduate Student Award fellowship, and was able to present early drafts at conferences thanks to additional travel funds awarded by the department and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. I am as grateful for these awards as I was fortunate to receive them. I owe thanks to my many teachers at UF: Sidney L. Dobrin, Robert B. Ray, James J. Paxson, Anastasia Ulanowicz, Phillip E. Wegner, and Roger Beebe. Thanks as well to Pamela K. Gilbert, Kenneth B.

  • Spenser, Donne, and the Trouble of Periodization Yulia Ryzhik
    Introduction: Spenser, Donne, and the trouble of periodization Yulia Ryzhik The names Edmund Spenser and John Donne are rarely seen together in a scholarly context, and even more rarely seen together as an isolated pairing. When the two are brought together, it is usually for contrast rather than for comparison, and even the comparisons tend to be static rather than dynamic or relational. Spenser and Donne find themselves on two sides of a rift in English Renaissance studies that separates the sixteenth century from the seventeenth and Elizabethan literature from Jacobean.1 In the simplest terms, Spenser is typically associated with the Elizabethan Golden Age, Donne with the ‘metaphysical’ poets of the early seventeenth century. Critical discourse overlooks, or else takes for granted, that Spenser’s and Donne’s poetic careers and chronologies of publication overlapped considerably. Hailed as the Virgil of England, and later as its Homer, Spenser was the reigning ‘Prince of Poets’, and was at the height of his career when Donne began writing in the early 1590s. Both poets, at one point, hoped to secure the patronage of the Earl of Essex, Donne by following him on expeditions to Cadiz and the Azores, Spenser by hailing his victorious return in Prothalamion (1596). The second instalment of Spenser’s The Faerie Queene (also 1596) gives a blistering account in Book V of the European wars of religion in which Ireland, where he lived, was a major conflict zone, but it is Donne who travelled extensively on the Continent, including places where ‘mis-devotion’ reigned.2 Spenser died in 1599 and was buried with much pomp at Westminster Abbey as if poetry itself had died with him.

  • Yale and the Study of Near Eastern Languages in America, 1770-1930
    Yale and the Study of Near Easter n Languages in America, 1770-1930* Benjamin R. Foster “The very peculiarity of our national destiny, in a moral point of view, calls upon us not only not to be behind, but to be even foremost, in intimate acquain- tance with oriental languages and institutions. The countries of the West, including our own, have been largely indebted to the East for their various culture; the time has come when this debt should be repaid.” -Edward Salisbury, 1848 Introduction As the reverend Johann Christoph Kunze journeyed from Halle to Philadelphia in 1770, he noted with distaste that his shipmates were no representatives of the best educational tra- ditions of his land. Yet the sturdy farmers who accompanied him were to fare better professionally, as a group, than the learned Kunze, for events were to prove that no American col- lege had then a place or resources for a German scholar of Hebrew. Scarcely more than a century later, two American universities, one of them in Philadelphia, were proud to recruit two Leipziger Assyriologists to their nascent Semitic departments. What had occurred in the meantime? The history of American scholarship in biblical, Semitic, and Near Eastern languages may be divided into eight main Benjamin R. Foster, Professor of Assyriology Department of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA 1 phases: (1) the Colonial period, in which biblical scholarship was honored in New England along the lines set by Cambridge, Oxford, and Scottish universities;

  • John Keats 1 John Keats
    John Keats 1 John Keats John Keats Portrait of John Keats by William Hilton. National Portrait Gallery, London Born 31 October 1795 Moorgate, London, England Died 23 February 1821 (aged 25) Rome, Italy Occupation Poet Alma mater King's College London Literary movement Romanticism John Keats (/ˈkiːts/; 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death.[1] Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2] The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. Biography Early life John Keats was born in Moorgate, London, on 31 October 1795, to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats. There is no clear evidence of his exact birthplace.[3] Although Keats and his family seem to have marked his birthday on 29 October, baptism records give the date as the 31st.[4] He was the eldest of four surviving children; his younger siblings were George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818), and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889) who eventually married Spanish author Valentín Llanos Gutiérrez.[5] Another son was lost in infancy.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Art and Life in America by Oliver W. Larkin Harvard Art Museums / Fogg Museum | Bush-Reisinger Museum | Arthur M. Sackler Museum. In this allegorical portrait, America is personified as a white marble goddess. Dressed in classical attire and crowned with thirteen stars representing the original thirteen colonies, the figure gives form to associations Americans drew between their democracy and the ancient Greek and Roman republics. Like most nineteenth-century American marble sculptures, America is the product of many hands. Powers, who worked in Florence, modeled the bust in plaster and then commissioned a team of Italian carvers to transform his model into a full-scale work. Nathaniel Hawthorne, who visited Powers’s studio in 1858, captured this division of labor with some irony in his novel The Marble Faun: “The sculptor has but to present these men with a plaster cast . and, in due time, without the necessity of his touching the work, he will see before him the statue that is to make him renowned.” Identification and Creation Object Number 1958.180 People Hiram Powers, American (Woodstock, NY 1805 - 1873 Florence, Italy) Title America Other Titles Former Title: Liberty Classification Sculpture Work Type sculpture Date 1854 Places Creation Place: North America, United States Culture American Persistent Link https://hvrd.art/o/228516 Location Level 2, Room 2100, European and American Art, 17th–19th century, Centuries of Tradition, Changing Times: Art for an Uncertain Age.

Benjamin Henry Latrobe was born in 1764 at Fulneck in Yorkshire. He was the Second son of the Reverend Benjamin Latrobe (1728 - 86), a minister of the Moravian church, and Anna Margaretta (Antes) Latrobe (1728 - 94), a third generation Pennsylvanian of Moravian Parentage. The original Latrobes had been French Huguenots who had settled in Ireland at the end of the 17th Century. Whilst he is most noted for his work on The White House and the Capitol in Washington, he introduced the Greek Revival as the style of American National architecture. He built Baltimore cathedral, not only the first Roman Catholic Cathedral in America but also the first vaulted church and is, perhaps, Latrobes finest monument. Hammerwood Park achieves importance as his first complete work, the first of only two in this country and one of only five remaining domestic buildings by Latrobe in existence. It was built as a temple to Apollo, dedicated as a hunting lodge to celebrate the arts and incorporating elements related to Demeter, mother Earth, in relation to the contemporary agricultural revolution.
