DuRois and William'ftanley Bralthwaite of the earlier twentieth century, anda number of .. modern novelists including Dorgthy West end l'ayant Rollins. The,goverriing assumption of thesequence was that.. the various periutations in style and- cop- tent of black Boston literature uld-be a usefUl index to the'cultural and social life of the Boston community, both white and black.

The.nearly 100-page reader \ Consists of letters and samplings, ofverses re- presenting not only ethnic literature but also -Americen literature and areas of American civili- zation. The Reader projects the breadth .of.the author'stnlent and knowledge, his insistence upon the dignity of black Atherican6 when the idea was novel in America. Hfs poems, written 'ina traditional nineteenth-centur lyrieStyle have nothing to(do with the life of the black man at that time. \Braithwaite felt that rteciallithemes were too limitiong fdr the artist and that they tended more toward propoganda than towArd art. v UndoulNedly, hie was.the'mostinfluential black critic of gmericap literature. to.

  • Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the Works of Margaret Fuller and Charlotte Bronte
    REWRITING WOMEN HAWTHORNE, FULLER, BRONTE REWRITING WOMEN: NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE AND THE WORKS OF MARGARET FULLER AND CHARLOTTE BRONTE By NANETTE JUNE MORTON A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University Copyright by Nanette June Morton l September 1993 MASTER OF ARTS (1993) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Rewriting the Feminine: Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the works of Margaret Fuller and Charlotte Bronte AUTHOR: Nanette June Morton SUPERVISOR: Doctor Joseph Sigman NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 95 ii ABSTRACT In spite of the disparaging remarks Hawthorne made about the inferior work of the "damned mob of scribbling women" he was both interested in, and ultimately threatened by his feminine counterparts. By their very existence female authors threatened to displace him, sin~e· their writings challenged the cultural ideal of womanhood, an ideal created by the traditional patriarchal aesthetic he participated in. Hawthorne dealt with this threat by rewriting, and therefore controlling those he feared. In The Blithedale Romance he fictionalized the life of the nineteenth century feminist, Margaret Fuller. As "Zenobia" Fuller is depicted as a tragic, sinful figure who strains fruitlessly against the natural bonds of her sex. Although Hawthorne is believed to have turned once again to Fuller's life for inspiration when he wrote The Marble Faun, this thesis argues that He was also influenced by Villette, Charlotte Bronte's final novel. The similarity between these two works suggests that Hawthorne rewrote, re-ihterpreted portions of Bronte's work in his own novel in an effort to establish control over a voice which threatened the primacy of his own.

  • The Study of State Archival Programs
    The Study of State Archival Programs Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/26/3/305/2745220/aarc_26_3_l45266048364x26m.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 By ERNST POSNER Washington, D.C. EEN within the context of archival development in the United States, the Study of State Archival Programs is another link S in the chain of events that started with the work of the Public Archives Commission of the American Historical Association in 1899. The reports of the commission, superseded though they are by now and uneven as regards their approach and content, have in many respects furnished the foundation on which the present study has been able to build. In their entirety they testify to the well- known fact that American scholarship has always been ready to "do something about it" when an unwholesome situation seemed to call for action, for in a good many States the reports had a prac- tical influence upon administrative arrangements for the care and increased accessibility of public archives. In a way, the present Study of State Archival Programs is a continuation, on a profes- sional basis, of the efforts of the Public Archives Commission, though the emphasis now is on organization for archival service and archival services rendered rather than on archival holdings. Made possible by a generous grant from the Council of Library Resources, Inc., and the personal interest of Verner Clapp, its Executive Director, the Study was started on February 1, 1962. Inasmuch as archival, library, and historical agencies had been overwhelmed by requests to answer detailed questionnaires, it was decided to prepare, on the basis of available data and according to a standard pattern, digests of information that were to serve as a basis of discussion at the time the Director of the Study was to visit the different archival agencies.
