Ed Folsom, the series editor for the Iowa Whitman Series, and everyone associated with the University of Iowa Press—Charlotte Wright, Elisabeth Chretien, Joseph Parsons, and the anonymous peer reviewer— have been supportive and encouraging at every step of the process. We also thank Alfred Bendixen and the American Literature Association for giving us a venue to try out early versions of the material that appears in this collection, as well as Leif Eckstrom for organizing a panel at the annual conference of the Modern Language Association to do the same. Other scholars to whom we are indebted for thoughtful suggestions, en- couraging words, nods of approval at conference presentations, and other forms of support include Gavin Jones, Virginia Jackson, Mark Lause, Bryan Waterman, Renee Sentilles, Karen Sanchez-Epp ler, Leon Jack- son, Jerome Loving, Ezra Greenspan, Michael C. Cohen, Vivian Pollak, Robert S. Levine, and Martha Nell Smith. Whitman among the Bohemians would not exist without its digital counterpart, The Vault at Pfaff’s: An Archive of Art and Literature by the Bohemians of Antebellum New York (http://lehigh.edu/pfaffs). Robert Weidman and Julia Maserjian have provided continued support for The Vault at Pfaff’s since 2004. We are all tremendously indebted to them and to everyone else who has contributed to this website over the course of the past ten years. We are particularly grateful to Kurt Hoberg not only for in- dexing every issue of the New York Saturday Press for The Vault at Pfaff’s as an undergraduate research assistant, but also for returning as a post- graduate to help format and copyedit Whitman among the Bohemians for publication. We also thank Ed Folsom and Ken Price for making the Walt Whitman Archive the invaluable resource that it is. We are grateful to the University of Iowa Press and the Walt Whitman Quarterly Review for permission to reprint, in modified form, Amanda { vii } Gailey’s “Walt Whitman and the King of Bohemia: The Poet in the Satur- day Press” and Robert J. Scholnick’s “‘An Unusually Active Market for Calamus’: Whitman, Vanity Fair, and the Fate of Humor in a Time of War, 1860–1863.” These essays appeared in issues 25.4 (2008) and 19 (2002), re- spectively. We are similarly grateful for permission to reprint the images that appear on the cover of this book and in chapters 8 and 11 by the New York Public Library, the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at the Uni- versity of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, and the Thomas Biggs Harned Collection at the Library of Congress. viii } acKnowLedGmenTS ABBREVIATIONS BdT Brooklyn Daily Times.

As it stands, this poem fragment gives us a glimpse into Whitman’s brief tenure with the self- styled bohemians of antebellum New York who gathered at Charles Pfaff’s beer cellar to drink and talk. The vault at Pfaffs where the drinkers and laughers meet to eat and drink and carouse While on the walk immediately overhead, pass the myriad feet of Broadway As the dead in their graves, are underfoot hidden And the living pass over them, recking not of them, Laugh on laughters! [sic] Drink on drinkers! Bandy the jests! Toss the theme from one to another! Beam up—Brighten up, bright eyes of beautiful young men! Eat what you, haveing ordered, are pleased to see placed before you— after the work of the day, now, with appetite eat, Drink wine—drink beer—raise your voice. Behold! your friend, as he arrives—Welcome him, when, from the upper step, he looks down upon you with a cheerful look Overhead rolls Broadway—the myriad rushing The lamps are lit—the shops blaze in—the fabrics and jewelry are seen through the plate glass windows The strong lights from above pour down upon them and are shed outside The thick crowds, well- dressed—the continual crowds as if they would never end { xi } The curious appearance of the faces—the glimpses first caught of the eyes and expressions, as they flit along. (You phantoms! oft I pause, yearning, to arrest some one of you! Oft I doubt your reality—whether you are real—I suspect all is but a pageant.) The lights beam in the first vault—but the other is entirely dark In the first1 Whitman joined the “drinkers and laughers” at Pfaff’s sometime around 1858. “I used to go to Pfaff’s nearly every night,” he wrote later in life, remi- niscing that, as it grew dark, “Pfaff would politely invite everybody who happened to be sitting in the cave he had under the sidewalk to some other part of the restaurant” so that the group of writers, artists, and intellec- tuals who came to the underground bar at 647 Broadway could continue with their efforts to transport a European- style bohemianism from Paris’s Latin Quarter to downtown Manhattan. Whitman continued, “There was a long table extending the length of this cave; and as soon as the Bohemi- ans put in an appearance .

  • Williams, Hipness, Hybridity, and Neo-Bohemian Hip-Hop
    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

They bear on various aspects of the same sub- ject, namely, the quality of civilization in the United States; and hence they have a certain unity, or a certain monotony, according as one is disposed to regard them. They are reprinted as they first appeared, without any changes worth speaking of. The exigencies of magazine publication, chiefly the haunting terror of a space limit, has had its effect upon their con- tinuity and completeness, and to some extent upon their manner, as well.

CHAPTER 8 Bohemians Greenwich Village and The Masses Joanna Levin Ever since Rodolphe, Henri Murger's prototypical struggling writer, stood before the grave of Mimi, his lost love and partner in the romance of bohemia, crying, "Oh my youth, it is you that is being buried," la vie boheme has represented a fabled transitional period between youth and mature adulthood in many an individual life, memoir, and Bildungsroman (Seigel 45). Similarly, ever since its inception in the wake of the 1830 Rev­ olution in France, bohemianism - as a larger subcultural movement has flourished during periods of historical transition. It was in the tumultuous lead-up to the Civil War that la vie boheme first took root in the United States (in a basement beer hall beneath the sidewalks of Broadway and Bleecker and on the pages of the New York Saturday Press), but it was dur­ ing the 1910s, the decade known for ushering in a host of radical and mod­ ernist movements, that bohemia assumed its most famous American form in New York City's Greenwich Village.

  • Marie Emily Kulms Thesis-1
    The Art of Writing a Life: Heimatsuche and Bohemianism in the Poetry of Lasker-Schüler by Marie Emily Kulms A thesis submitted to the Department of German In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (December, 2010) Copyright © Marie Emily Kulms, 2010 Abstract This study explores how the poetry of Else Lasker-Schüler (1869-1945) creates a personal space—a Heimat—through the poetic process. Through close readings of a selection of the poet’s works, I demonstrate the paradoxical relationship between physical structures and emotional or psychic freedom. I show how this association between form and fluidity reflects the poetic genre itself, while also drawing parallels to Lasker-Schüler’s biography and her relationships with the Berliner Bohème. Lasker-Schüler’s work has been viewed through many different lenses: Expressionism, Judaism, and feminism. Such interpretations can be problematic, as they impose limitations on the poet’s work and are thereby contradictory to the fluid qualities conveyed in her poems. Through close analysis of the formal and aesthetic aspects of Lasker-Schüler’s poetry, I illuminate this often neglected, but most important aspect of the fluctuating, creative space. Lasker-Schüler’s life circumstances forced her to live an unsettled life, but poetry seems to have functioned as a means of accessing the internal Heimat or Seelenlandschaft. The lyrical “I” of Lasker-Schüler’s poetry wanders throughout the poet’s collective works, her voice undergoing metamorphoses, leaving the reader to question this elusive poetic identity. The bohemians, who offered Lasker-Schüler an inspiring creative community, mirror this internal poetic world externally, as they embraced art and performance to create their chameleon-like identities.

  • James Russell Lowell - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series James Russell Lowell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Russell Lowell(22 February 1819 – 12 August 1891) James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844. He and his wife had several children, though only one survived past childhood. The couple soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper. After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called The Pioneer, which lasted only three issues. He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of A Fable for Critics, a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets. The same year, he published The Biglow Papers, which increased his fame. He would publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career. Maria White died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854.
