An Abstract of “The Sinews of Memory:” The Forging of Civil War Memory and Reconciliation, 1865 – 1940 by Steven A. Bare Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in History The University of Toledo December 2018 “The Sinews of Memory:’ The Forging of Civil War Memory and Reconciliation, 1865 – 1940,” explores the creation of historical memory of the American Civil War and, its byproduct, reconciliation. Stakeholders in the historical memory formation of the war and reconciliation were varied and many. “The Sinews of Memory” argues reconciliation blossomed from the 1880s well into the twentieth-century due to myriad of historical forces in the United States starting with the end of the war leading up to World War II. The crafters of the war’s memory and reconciliation – veterans, women’s groups, public history institutions, governmental agents, and civic boosters – arrived at a collective memory of the war predicated on notions of race, manliness, nationalism, and patriotism.

  • Rosella Mamoli Zorzi «Foresti» in Venice in the Second Half of The
    R osella Mamoli Zorzi «ForestI» IN VENICE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19th CENTURY: THEIR PASSION FOR PAINTINGS, BROCADES, AND GLASS The «foresti», that is foreign residents and visitors, inV enice in the second half of the 19th century, seem to have shared one passion: «shopping», in the sense of dropping in at antiquarian shops to look for paintings, old brocades, old chairs, porcelain, and glass. Collecting such items was certainly not exclusive to the 19th century – one can think of the great collections of the previous centuries, those of paintings provided to England by Consul Smith1 or the glass collection studied by William Gudenrath, King Frederick IV’s collection of Venetian glass at the Rosenborg Castle (Copenhagen), consisting of gifts by the Venetian Senate but also bought by the King in Murano on 16 February 17092 during his visit to Venice, gathered in his extraordinary «Glass Cabinet», a unique pendant to a more common «Porcelain cabinet». Or one can also think of Walpole’s Strawberry Hill collection of 24 lattimo 1 K. Pomian’s analysis of 18th-century collecting in Venice underlines the continuity of collections in the Venetian families up to the fall of the Republic. Also the collection of John Strange, who was in Venice from 1774 to 1790, should be mentioned. In his thorough analysis of collections in the 18th century, there seems to be no reference to glass, maybe because beautiful glass was considered simply part of the family’s everyday tools.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE FOURTH STREET AT CONSTITUTION AVENUE N W WASHINGTON DC 20565 • 737-4215/842-6353 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WASHINGTON, D,C,, August 6, 1962: John Walker, Director of the National Gallery of Art, announced today that Street in Venice, by the American artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), has been ac­ quired by the National Gallery through a gifc from the Avalon Found­ ation. The painting will go on exhibition in a special installation in Lobby D, off the East Garden Court, on Sunday, August 12. The picture shows a slender girl, dressed in a long shawl, walk­ ing alone down a narrow Venetian street. A man, leaning casually against a wall, interrupts his conversation with a companion to watch her go by. The picture is painted almost completely in shades of grey, with the rapid, impressionistic brushwork that was to make Sargent the most sought-after American portraitist of his day. Painted in the 1880's, it reflects Sargent's recent trips to Spain and Holland to study the work of Velazquez and Frans Hals. The picture belonged to Sargent's friend, Stanford Whice, a partner in the architectural firm of McKim, Meade and White, and one of the most influential architects of his day. It remained in the possession of the White family until acquired for the National Gal­ lery of Art. "l have been in love with this picture for many years," Mr. Walker said,, "It captures the mood of Venice - - its languid, moisture-laden atmosphere, and its sense of mystery -- as few paintings I know,," John Singer Sargent was a frequent visitor to Venice, where, with American expatriate artists such as Henry James, he frequented a palace on the Grand Canal, the Palazzo Barbaro, owned by Sargent's Boston cousin, Daniel Sargent Curtis Among other visitors to the Barbaro was Isabella Stewart Gardner, who was later to build her own Venetian palace in Boston, "Fenway Court," now a museum,, Sargent, and Mrs.
