(the accepted manuscript version, post-peer review) From Tongue to Text: The Transmission of the Salem Witchcraft Examination Records1 Peter Grund, Uppsala University Introduction In the absence of audio recordings, scholars interested in studying the characteristics of spoken language in the early Modern period are forced to rely on written speech-related sources.2 These sources include, among others, drama and fiction dialogue, trial proceedings, and witness depositions. However, at the same time, it has been shown that, although purporting to represent spoken conversation, these texts probably reflect actual spoken language only partially and to different degrees (for the evaluation of the degree of “spokenness” of these text categories, see Culpeper and Kytö 2000; see also Kryk-Kastovsky 2000; Moore 2002). Drama and fiction dialogue, for example, represents constructed speech produced by an author who may have been more or less successful in mimicking contemporaneous spoken conversation.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA the Bill of Rights And
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Politics School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Joseph S. Devaney Washington, D.C. 2010 The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution Joseph S. Devaney, Ph.D. Director: Claes G. Ryn, Ph.D. According to conventional understanding, the primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Constitution was to preserve liberty through a form of government that provided for a highly structured system of federalism and separation of powers. The primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Bill of Rights was to allay Anti-Federalist fears that the Constitution did not sufficiently secure individual rights. For that reason, the original Constitution is frequently contrasted with the Bill of Rights. Yet distinguishing between the Constitution and the Bill of Rights obscures more about the nature of the Bill of Rights than it discloses. It is agreed that one of the primary Anti-Federalist objections to the Constitution was the absence of a bill of rights. A close examination of the debate over the absence of a bill of rights reveals that the first ten amendments to the Constitution occupy a much more complex place in the constitutional scheme than is commonly assumed. While individual rights did constitute an important theme during the ensuing debate concerning the importance of a bill of rights, they were not the only theme or even the prevailing theme.

WEAPONIZING FAITH: “SPECTRAL EVIDENCE” IN LONGFELLOW, MILLER AND TRUMP A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts English by Paul Hyde May 2021 Accepted by: Dr. Michael LeMahieu, Committee Chair Dr. Cameron Bushnell Dr. Jonathan Beecher Field ABSTRACT This thesis explores a particular type of irrational pattern-seeking — specifically, “spectral evidence” — in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s Giles Corey of the Salem Farms (1872) and Arthur Miller’s The Crucible (1953). It concludes with observations of this concept’s continued and concerning presence by other names in Trump-era politics. The two works by Longfellow and Miller make a natural pairing because both are plays inspired by the Salem witchcraft trials (1692-93), a notorious historical miscarriage of justice. Robert Warshow calls the Salem witchcraft trials, aside from slavery, “the most disconcerting single episode in our history: the occurrence of the unthinkable on American soil, and in what our schools have rather successfully taught us to think of as the very ‘cradle of Americanism” (211).

FIFE A MONG the earliest novelists in American literature is Sarah Sayward Barrell Keating Wood, known in her later years as Madam Wood. Born in York, Maine, on October 1, 17$9, at the home of her grandfather, Judge Jonathan Sayward, she married his clerk, Richard Keating, in 1778 and bore three children before his death in 1783.

She married General Abiel Woo,d in 1804 and lived in Wiscasset until his death in 1811. The rest of her life she spent in Portland, in New York, and in Kennebunk with various descendants. She died at the age of 95, still "a delightful companion to her great-great­ grandchildren, or to her nephews," according to her great­ grandson, Dr.

  • Enumeration and Other Constitutional Strategies for Protecting Rights: the View from 1787/1791
    ARTICLES ENUMERATION AND OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL STRATEGIES FOR PROTECTING RIGHTS: THE VIEW FROM 1787/1791 Mark A. Graber Constitutional designers employ many strategies for securing what they believe are fundamental rights and vital interests.' Specifying in the constitutional text the rights and interests to be protected is a common device. In a constitution that relies solely on enumeration as a rights-protective strategy, whether that constitution protects abortion rights depends on whether any provision in that constitu- tion is best interpreted as granting women a right to terminate their pregnancies. Enumerating the powers government officials may ex- ercise is a second rights-protective strategy. Government may not constitutionally ban partial-birth abortions, although no constitu- tional provision properly interpreted protects a right to reproductive choice, when no constitutional provision properly interpreted au- thorizes government officials to interfere with reproductive decisions. Structuring government institutions is a third rights-protective strat- egy, one that does not rely primarily on enumeration or interpreta- tion. Government officials do not ban abortion, even when at least some reasonable persons believe constitutional provisions are best in- terpreted as permitting legislative prohibitions, when the constitu- tional rules for staffing the government and passing laws consistently provide pro-choice advocates with the power necessary to prevent hostile proposals from becoming law. Equal protection is a fourth strategy for protecting fundamental rights. Elected officials are less inclined to ban abortion when they may not constitutionally confine that prohibition to certain social classes or racial groups.

  • Early Starrs in Kent &New England
    **************************** Early Starrs in Kent &New England **************************** by HOSEA STARR BALLOU * Honorary Governor of THE SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS President Emeritus of THE STARR FAMILY ASSOCIATION Member of THE BUNKER HILL MONUMENT ASSOCIATION THE UNIVERSALIST HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY **************************** BOSTON STARR FAMILY ASSOCIATION 1944 Arranged and Edited by WILLIAM CARROLL HILL Editor and Historian The New England Historic Genealogical Society 9 Ashburton Place, Boston, Mass. THE RUMFORD PRESS CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE PRINTED IN THE U. S. A. PREFACE "Early Starrs in Kent and New England" is the compilation of a series of articles on the forbears of the Starr family in this country and England prepared for and published in The New England His­ torical and Genealogical Register between the years 1935 and 1944. They were prepared by Hosea Starr Ballou of Brookline, Mass., who had spent many years in this country and abroad in genealogical research. Having previously published the "Life of Hosea Ballou II," "Wm. Blaxton, The First Bostonian" and "The Harvard Yard Before Dunster", Mr. Ballou spent much of the last decade of his life in a study and analysis of the data on the Starr Family. Not having in mind a formal history of the family, Mr. Ballou contributed frequently to The Register of such material as he had at hand at the time, with the result that the articles, while containing a wonderful amount of new and most valuable information, pre­ sented no chronological sequence, being classified in general as "Dr. Thomas Starr in the Pequot War", although the text embraced far more than this narrative.
