Sherman’s army marched through Georgia during the American Civil War, it did not travel alone. As many as 17,000 refugee slaves followed his army to the coast; as many, if not more, fled to the army but decided to stay on their plantations rather than march on. This study seeks to understand Sherman’s march from their point of view. It argues that through their refugee experiences, Georgia’s refugee slaves transformed the march into one for their own freedom and citizenship. Such a transformation would not be easy. Not only did the refugees have to brave the physical challenges of life on the march, they had to also exist within a war waged by white men.

  • Subjective Historiography in EL Doctorow's Ragtime

    Subjective Historiography in EL Doctorow's Ragtime

    “Subjective Historiography in E. L. Doctorow’s Ragtime” ILOS, HF, UIO ENG 4790 Master’s thesis in English Literature Sigrun Stenersen Espe Supervisor: Erik Kielland-Lund Spring 2010 Summary . How does Ragtime resemble, and diverge from, a traditional historiographic text, and what is the purpose of Doctorow‘s parodic reworking of historiography? As an introduction to this thesis, the debate in different literary traditions regarding the relationship between literature and historiography is presented. With a primary focus on postmodern theory, Linda Hutcheon‘s concept ―historiographic metafiction‖ is introduced, in order to establish the type of narrative that Ragtime is. E. L. Doctorow‘s essay ―False Documents‖ is discussed in a separate part of this chapter because it provides a deeper understanding of the philosophical ideas behind Doctorow‘s narrative. In this text he fights for the importance of the fiction writer as commentator on our society, and challenges the notion that the genre of historiography is a purveyor of objective truths as opposed to literature which, according to Doctorow, is generally considered unimportant or ―merely for fun‖. Doctorow claims that ―all is narrative‖, implying that fiction and non-fiction are equal as they can only provide subjective accounts of the past. The subjectivity inherent in historiographic narratives is further explored through Doctorow‘s presentation of historical characters in Ragtime. The presence of celebrity characters creates confusion about the nature of the novel as a work of fiction or as a historiographic account. Through the use of irony and humour, Ragtime is a parody of historiographic narratives which claim to be objective.

Soundhararajan Ph.D Research Scholar Assistant Professor of English Department of English Department of English Annamalai University Annamalai University Abstract The precent research study entitled “E.L. Doctorow’s Ragtime as a Metapher of American Social Vision: A Study is to examine the novel Ragtime and its characters and establishes it as a social and artistic vision of Doctorow. This study deals with Doctorow’s treatment of American social problems. Doctorow has achieved worldwide recognition as one of the American leading writers of fiction. His awareness of the various aspects of American life establishes the Americaness of his fiction. In the recent past, Doctorow’s works did not attract much critical attention. One of the reasons may be that his novels barring two core subjects, the one is Jewish problems impact of its doctrine and the second one is American political and social issues. Keeping in mind the Paucity of critical studies and evaluations, an attempt is made in this research to study exhaustively the American social conditions and problems portrayed by Doctorow. Key word: Social Vision, American Dreams,Search for identiy, Jewish indentity, narrative nuances, Jazz as a narrative mode. Introduction E.L.

It appears here, in PDF format, exactly as it appears in print. www.danieldaviswood.com DOCTOROW BY HALF E.L. DOCTOROW‟S ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD This review originally appeared online in The Critical Flame 3.18 (March-April 2012). EARLY IN ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD, HIS THIRD COLLECTION of short stories, E.L. Doctorow raises the surprising suggestion that the book he has written might not be worth reading from cover to cover. The suggestion isn‟t explicit, of course, but it emerges, un- mistakably, in the space between Doctorow‟s preface and his table of contents. Doctorow has long been one of America‟s most cele- brated novelists with a slew of modern classics to his name. He ex- ploded onto the literary scene with his début, Welcome to Hard Times, a loosely metafictional account of the birth of civilisation on the American frontier, and then he published a string of acclaimed and similarly postmodern historical novels including — most notably — The Book of Daniel, Ragtime, and Billy Bathgate. However, when he admits in his preface to All the Time in the World that he enJoys writ- ing short stories because they offer “the quick return of an aesthetic investment” (ix), he unwisely, if unwittingly, characterises his stories as less considered and less deserving of time and effort than the novels that have earned him his reputation. Then he reinforces this characterisation with a table of contents that promises a strange selection of work.

    RANDOM HOUSE, INC. TEACHER’S GUIDE Ragtime A Novel Written by E.L. Doctorow Random House | Trade Paperback 978-0-8129-7818-6 | 336 pages | $14.95 READING LEVEL: 10 note to teachers The traditions of literature and music have long been intertwined. This is apparent in the structure and rhythm of texts from Homer to Hemingway, and of course, in more literal explorations of the cultural impact of music, as in the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the writers of the Beat Generation. But while Fitzgerald and the Beats were engaged in a dialogue about the music of their own time, in this novel E. L. Doctorow has chosen to tether his ship to what is considered by many to be the first truly American genre of music—ragtime—a particularly resilient musical form that achieved popular success in the early 1900s and saw revivals in the ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘70s and ‘90s. Despite the title of the novel and the employment of a dynamic central character who is a ragtime piano player, Doctorow’s novel is not about ragtime music. Rather, it is about a critical time in our nation’s history (one that should be, for readers, quite reminiscent of our own time) and significant social and cultural issues—personal issues, Doctorow emphasizes—which were reflected in ragtime music years ago and which continue to be reflected in the musical forms that succeed it, as well as in literature, academic discussion, and perhaps most importantly, in domestic dialogue. Most extraordinarily, Doctorow has not only referenced ragtime music, he has gone so far as to channel it.
