  • Eugene Field, a Study in Heredity and Contradictions
    EUGENE FIELD, A STUDY IN HEREDITY AND CONTRADICTIONS SLASON THOMPSON CHAPTER I. PEDIGREE. "Sir John Maundeville, Kt.," was his prototype, and Father Prout was his patron saint. The one introduced him to the study of British balladry, the other led him to the classic groves of Horace. "I am a Yankee by pedigree and education," wrote Eugene Field to Alice Morse Earle, the author of "The Sabbath in Puritan New England," and other books of the same flavor, "but I was born in that ineffably uninteresting city, St. Louis." How so devoted a child of all that is queer and contradictory in New England character came to be born in "Poor old Mizzoorah," as he so often wrote it, is in itself a rare romance, which I propose to tell as the key to the life and works of Eugene Field. Part of it is told in the reports of the Supreme Court of Vermont, part in the most remarkable special pleas ever permitted in a chancery suit in America, and the best part still lingers in the memory of the good people of Newfane and Brattleboro, Vt., where "them Field boys" are still referred to as unaccountable creatures, full of odd conceits, "an' dredful sot when once they took a notion." "Them Field boys" were not Eugene and his brother Roswell Martin Field, the joint authors of translations from Horace, known as "Echoes from the Sabine Farm," but their father, Roswell Martin, and their uncle, Charles Kellogg, Field of Newfane aforesaid. These two Fields were the sons of General Martin Field, who was born in Leverett, Mass., February 12th, 1773, and of his wife, Esther Smith Kellogg, who was the grandmother celebrated in more than one of Eugene Field's stories and poems.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 132 BIBLIOGRAPHY 140 l.n CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Statement of the Problem and Purpose of the Study The record of the English stage in New Orleans constitutes an important chapter in the theatrical annals of America. New Orleans supported the first operatic company in the United States; it had the first theatre to be illuminated with gas; and during the 1830's and 1840's it had the largest and most magnificent playhouse in North America, the St. Charles Theatre. The New Orleans stage ranked with the best in the country and dominated the theatrical activity in the surrounding frontier sections.
