{PDF EPUB} South Street by William Gardner Smith Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} South Street by William Gardner Smith William Smith (mariner) William Smith was the English captain born in Blyth, Northumberland, who discovered the South Shetland Islands, an archipelago off the Graham Land in Antarctica. The discovery was first made South of 60° South latitude, in the present area covered by the Antarctic Treaty. 1. Early life and apprenticeship. (Ранняя жизнь и ученичество) Earsdon parish records held at the Museum of Woodhorn show that William, the eldest son of William and Mary Smith, was baptized in the Church. Cuthberts 10 Oct 1790. Smith had a younger brother, Thomas, and sister, Maria, and his father was a carpenter Seaton sluice. In the eighteenth century, the boys will begin their seven-year apprenticeship at sea in the age of fourteen. According to accounts by John Myers open, William Smith conducted his studies in the Greenland whale-fishery’. During his life he worked with Richard Siddins, described by historian IDA Lee."perhaps the greatest traveler of all, who gave so much information about the early Fiji, and enjoy the services of the mission on Board of his ship in Sydney harbour". By 1811 he became the owner of the ship under the name of Williams, who was then under construction in Blyth, Northumberland. The ship was completed in 1813, measuring 215 tons and equipped with six 6-pounder Carronades. 2. The Discovery Of Antarctica. (Открытия Антарктиды) In 1819, while sailing cargo on Williams from Buenos Aires to valparaíso, he sailed further South round Cape horn in an attempt to catch the wind. On 19 February 1819 he spotted the new land at 62° South latitude and 60° West longitude, but did not land on her. The naval authorities did not believe his discovery, but on a subsequent trip on 16 October he landed on the largest of the Islands. He named the island king George island and the archipelago South Shetland Islands in honour of the Shetland Islands, which lie to the North of Scotland. In the beginning of next year, 1820, the Williams was chartered by the Royal Navy, and sent with Smith and Lieutenant Edward Bransfield onboard to survey the newly discovered Islands, discovering and the Antarctic Peninsula in the process.

Wald, Chair Professor Jonathan E. Freedman Professor Marjorie Levinson Associate Professor Xiomara Santamarina For my parents, Konstantinos and Sharon Karageorgos ii Acknowledgements Infinite gratitude goes to Alan Wald, who has supported this project from its inception, and who refuses to render history a fetish. By her sterling example, Marjorie Levinson has shown me how to think and write “beyond the blueprint.” For pressing me on the question of “why not Ellison,” I thank Xiomara Santamarina. I thank Jonathan Freedman for felicitous conversation and for talking me down from the peak of anxiety—thank you for reminding me to have fun. Although they were not able to see this project through, Kathryne V. Lindberg and Patsy Yaeger are present in the prose. Several other colleagues and friends, here and elsewhere, deserve special thanks. I wish to thank Nathaniel Mills for interminable debates on Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. May they continue! For seven years of conversation and friendship, I thank Catherine Cassel. Louis Cicciarelli, thank you for your sage words on the value of “not knowing.” Renee C.

  • Irredeemable Promise: the Bittersweet Career of J. Saunders Redding
    Copyrighted Material InTroducTIon irredeemable Promise: the Bittersweet Career of J. saunders redding n the downward slope of a thirty-year publishing career, the fifty-two- oyear-old writer, professor, and literary critic J. Saunders Redding (1906– 1988) brimmed with a final project. He wanted to work with the best fiction editors around to publish his second and as yet unwritten novel, a book that would redeem his career and confirm as worthwhile his efforts as a writer and teacher of literature. That early winter of 1959 Redding was going into his fif- teenth year of teaching English at a small college in coastal Virginia and won- dering about posterity’s opinion of him. A lean man with a confident air, who dressed in the Ivy League style, Red- ding was from an elite Delaware family and a devotee of the Protestant work ethic. Daily he labored over his books and articles in an upstairs room that his wife and sons were forbidden to enter during specific hours—the edict counter- manded rarely, such as when Franklin Roosevelt died. In this upper room Red- ding had stacks of books, an unframed picture of his father, yellow pads and pencils, and cigarette smoke curling up the walls. It had been a place of produc- tivity, but even his proven sanctuary rebuffed him as the year 1959 unwound. The fretting that Redding showed that year was what he had displayed his whole writing life, and it was curious because he had already experienced un- equivocal success as a writer. He had published long essays in Harper’s Maga- zine and Atlantic Monthly.

    RACIAL AND NATIONAL IDENTITY OF BLACK AMERICAN EXPATRIATES IN FRANCE: A STUDY OF THE WORKS OF RICHARD WRIGHT, JAMES BALDWIN, AND WILLIAM GARDNER SMITH, 1936-1970 by PRISCILLA ELIZABETH SOL A THESIS Presented to the Department of English, the Department of Romance Languages, and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts December 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Priscilla Sol for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of English and the Department of Romance Languages to be taken December 2016 Title: Racial and National Identity of Black American Expatriates in France: A Study of the Works of Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and William Gardner Smith, 1936- 1970 Approved: _______________________________________ Henry Wonham This thesis aims to construct a conception of the black American identity within the context of the works of three expatriate authors living in France during the 1940- 1950’s. By examining the thematic links among three novels each of Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and William Gardner Smith, I have established each authors outlook on racial conflicts during a time period of significant tension and progress. These three authors have been chosen because each spent a significant time exiled from America, yet remained active in race politics back home. My analysis is aimed at determining each authors’ concepts of: the black American identity both at-home and internationally; the connection between black American expatriates and their home nation; and the role of black Americans within the United States. Although each author follows a different racial ideology, they all present different facets of the same struggle ii for identity and self-assertion.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Richard Wright Edited by Glenda R
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47517-4 — The Cambridge Companion to Richard Wright Edited by Glenda R. Carpio Frontmatter More Information the cambridge companion to richard wright Hailed as the father of black literature in the twentieth century, Richard Wright was an iconoclast, an intellectual of towering stature whose multi- disciplinary erudition rivals only that of W. E. B. Du Bois. This collection captures Wright’s immense power, which has made him a beacon for writers across decades, from the civil rights era to today. Individual essays examine Wright’s art as central to his intellectual life and shed new light on his classic texts Native Son and Black Boy. Other essays turn to his short fiction and nonfiction, as well as his lesser-known work in journalism and poetry, paying particular attention to manuscripts in Wright’sarchive– unpublished letters and novels, plans for multivolume works – that allow us to see the depth and expansiveness of his aesthetic and political vision. Exploring how Wright’s expatriation to France facilitated a broadening of this vision, contributors challenge the idea that expatriation led to Wright’sartisticdecline. Glenda R. Carpio is Professor of African and African American Studies and English at Harvard University. She is the author of Laughing Fit to Kill: Black Humor in the Fictions of Slavery (2008). She coedited African American Literary Studies: New Texts, New Approaches, New Challenges (2011) with Professor Werner Sollors and is currently at work on a book tentatively titled Migrant Aesthetics, a study of contemporary immigrant fiction.

  • The Wright Era: African American Fiction in Retrospect
    The Wright Era: African American Fiction in Retrospect Werner Sollors Beginnings The study of African American literature is a child of the Enlightenment and of Quaker- inspired agitation against the slave trade and slavery.1 Launched under the now unfashionable term “Negro literature,” it was understood to be global and to have deep historical roots, for its discussions included writing and artistic expression of all times, in many languages, and from many known places on the globe. It had a political thrust, for listing and presenting examples of creativity served as a vindication of Negroes against racial prejudice, thus weakening justifications of slavery on the grounds of those preconceptions. Drawing on examples that Quakers and other opponents of the slave trade and slavery had presented, among them Michel Adanson, Anthony Benezet, Thomas Clarkson, James Ramsay, Granville Sharp, and William Wilberforce, as well as on extensive archival researches of his own, the Abbé Henri Grégoire (1750–1831)—who had also advocated the emancipation of Jews—put together a pioneering study that was explicitly intended to demolish the anti-Negro position of slavery sympathizers like Edward Long. De la littérature des Nègres, first published in Paris in 1808, appeared two years later in D. B. Warden’s English translation under the title An Enquiry Concerning the Intellectual and Moral Faculties, and Literature of Negroes; Followed with an Account of the Life and Works of Fifteen Negroes and Mulattoes, Distinguished in Science, Literature and the Arts. The book starts with a semantic discussion in which Grégoire gives preference to the term “Negro” (“Noir”) over “African,” because there are many non-blacks who live in Africa.
