Published in Student Journal of the Department of Anglophone Studies (Vol. 1, 2018) Of Gay Sinners and Grizzly Saints Fundamentalism in “The May-Pole of Merry Mount” CARINA KEWELOH1 Nathaniel Hawthorne’s stories often depict Puritans as superstitious, intolerant, patriarchal and oppressive, which led to the belief he held a negative attitude towards them. However, “The May-Pole of Merry Mount”2 suggests that this resentment is not specifically directed towards Puritans. Hawthorne’s short story rather exposes the dangers of fundamentalism in general. This essay scrutinizes both the portrayal of the community of Merry Mount and the Puritans in the short story to explore the features of fundamentalism they depict. Finally, the restricting and impairing effects of both fundamentalist communities will be assessed using the example of Edgar and Edith, the young couple at the center of Hawthorne’s tale.

    NOTES JUNE 2004 A MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI OF THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE EDITOR The right “stu≠” Dear Eastman Alumni: We like Notes’ new look, and it seems you do too. Response has been unani- mously favorable; perhaps we should consider a Steve Boerner–David Cowles NOTES presidential ticket for 2008. I’d vote for them; these two artists made “Notes Volume 22, Number 2 nouveau” a pleasure, and I’m glad the pleasure was conveyed in the magazine June 2004 itself. I write the stuff, but they (and our photographers) make it look good! We also had a tremendous response to our “Eastman Alumni on CD” feature; Editor see pages 33¬34. And enough of you commented on different editorial aspects of David Raymond Notes (not always favorably) that we have a “Letters to the Editor” section, which Assistant editor may be a first for us. Christina Casey This issue of Notes is admittedly filled with history, but Susan Conkling’s re- Contributing writers minder of the great women who shaped both American music and Eastman, and Martial Bednar Amy Blum Paul Burgett’s reminder of four black composers who Christine Corrado played an important part in Eastman history, are stories Contributing photographers worth telling. As is the story of the success of Howard Kurt Brownell Hanson’s Merry Mount at the Met in 1934—a remarkable Gelfand-Piper Photography event, when you think about it. I should add a special Bob Klein Photography word of thanks here to David Peter Coppen, the Sibley Carlos Ortiz Don Ver Ploeg/VP Communications Library Archivist, who is always helpful with providing Amy Vetter historical photographs and other materials for Notes, but Photography coordinator outdid himself for these three articles.

    Thomas Morton As America's First Behavioral Observer (In New England 1624-1646)

    Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society 1987, 25(1), (I}-,72 Thomas Morton as America's first behavioral observer (in New England 1624-1646) PHILIP HOWARD GRAY Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana As a falconer and lawyer in England, Thomas Morton was well trained to become the first be­ havioral observer in America. From his arrival in Massachusetts in 1624 to his forced removal in 1628 (he offended the Pilgrims by intercepting the beaver trade and offended the Puritans by refusing to accept their authority), he made many observations on the region's animals and Indians. These observations were collected in his book, published in 1637. Criticisms of Morton by the New England theocrats have been endlessly repeated by historians who fail to recognize Morton's value as an amateur psychologist and ethologist, and a very early one at that. Thomas Morton, gentleman, lawyer, sportsman, and tribes of William Bradford, who believed Morton to be pioneer settler in Massachusetts, lived among the Indians, guilty of everything from selling guns to the Indian men noted their manners and customs, hunted, traded, and to dancing around the maypole with Indian women, treat­ made friends with them. Equally important, Morton was ing the latter "most filthily" (Davis, 1908, p. 238). This an eager observer and cataloguer of the animals of the type of complaint is echoed by Adams (1892, p. 170), woods, skies, and sea. This information was collected dur­ who called Morton an old debauchee, tippler, and reck­ ing the first two decades of New England's colonization less libertine with neither morals nor religion, and An­ and set down in his New English Canaan or New Canaan, drews (1934), who extended Morton's presumed lack of published in Amsterdam in 1637 and readily available in morals to both conduct and thought.

Order a reprint of this article now. » April 29, 2001 MUSIC By BERNARD HOLLAND ''DIE TOTE STADT'' got rough treatment from forward-looking commentators when it returned to the New York City Opera recently. Korngold's opera is certainly not ''Tristan und Isolde'' or even ''Moses und Aron,'' but operating on its own modest scale, it remains a gracefully executed piece of stagecraft. Its music, though illustrative, is more than mere illustration. Its story balances fact with fantasy, and the use of an opera company within an opera company offers nice allusions to appearance and reality. What troubles the heavier thinkers of the music world, I suspect, is that ''Die Tote Stadt'' goes down like ice cream. Its smooth, welcoming harmonic language -- like Richard Strauss on tranquilizers -- offers no resistance. ''Where is the challenge?'' its critics ask. Anything this accessible this quickly must have something wrong with it. Substance implies depths, and depths necessarily take time to plumb. The calendar may also be an irritant. Korngold's opera dates from 1920. Schoenberg's ''Pierrot Lunaire'' was already eight years old, Stravinsky's ''Sacre du Printemps'' seven. In science, as reflected in literature, art and music, the 20th century represented the march of progress: things evolved, grew, got better, smarter, purer.

  • Children on the Mayflower

    Children on the Mayflower

    PILGRIM HALL MUSEUM America’s Oldest Continuous Museum – Located in Historic Plymouth Massachusetts www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER How many children were on the Mayflower? This seems like an easy question but it is hard to answer! Let’s say we wanted to count every passenger on the ship who was 18 years of age or younger. To figure out how old a person was in 1620, when the Mayflower voyage took place, you would need to know their date of birth. In some cases, though, there just isn’t enough information! On this list, we’ve included passengers who were probably or possibly age 18 or less. Some children were traveling with their families. Others came over as servants or apprentices. Still others were wards, or children in the care of guardians. There are 35 young people on the list. Some of them may have been very close to adulthood, like the servant Dorothy (last name unknown), who was married in the early years of Plymouth Colony. The list also includes Will Butten. He was a youth who died during the voyage and never arrived to see land. This list includes very young children and even some babies! Oceanus Hopkins was born during the Mayflower’s voyage across the Atlantic. The baby was given his unusual name as a result. Another boy, Peregrine White, was born aboard the ship while it was anchored at Cape Cod harbor - his name means traveler or “pilgrim.” A good source for more information on Mayflower passengers is Caleb Johnson’s http://mayflowerhistory.com/mayflower- passenger-list.
