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. -
Chapter 3: the Patrician Response
3 The Patrician Response On the north side of Washington Square, on the square itself and on streets adjacent to lower Fifth Avenue, were the homes of the upper- class Villagers. These patricians were Protestants of Dutch, English, and French stock, some of them heirs to old wealth and to the handsome resi- dences that their parents or grandparents had built before the Civil War. Culturally, religiously, and politically, the north Village gentry had little in common with most of their near neighbors, the working-class and immi- grant Villagers who lived south and west of the square. Italian immigrants and Irish Americans worshipped at Catholic churches, while the gentry at- tended Sunday services at Protestant edifices along lower Fifth Avenue, elite congregations such as the First Presbyterian Church and the Episcopal Church of the Ascension. Irish, Italian, and African American Villagers gathered to drink and socialize in the numerous working-class saloons of the west and south Village, while the Protestant elite socialized in the ele- gant drawing rooms of their homes. These cultural and class contrasts were reflected in political rivalries, especially between the Irish Villagers loyal to the Democratic machine and the patrician Villagers who deeply distrusted Tammany rule. Again and again the Village gentry, whether they were Re- publicans, Independents, or Democrats, organized to challenge Tammany’s control of the city. By the turn of the twentieth century, the future of this upper-class north 77 78 chapter three Village enclave seemed increasingly uncertain. Tenementhousing and Ital- ian immigrants were invading the Village from the south, and commercial buildings were encroaching on the square from the east. -

Walt Whitman Quarterly Review
Walt Whitman Quarterly Review http://ir.uiowa.edu/wwqr The Earliest French Review of Whitman Ezra Greenspan Volume 6, Number 3 (Winter 1989) pps. 109-116 Stable URL: http://ir.uiowa.edu/wwqr/vol6/iss3/2 ISSN 0737-0679 Copyright c 1989 by The University of Iowa. The Earliest French Review of Whitman Ezra Greenspan Abstract Describes Henry Clapp, Jr.’s reprinting of an unknown article from a French periodical “an- nouncing a forthcoming French translation of Leaves of Grass and offering a perceptive prefatory commentary on its poetry,” and explores the significance of the announcement of the translation (which was never published) and Whitman’s response to the idea of a transatlantic audience. THE EARLIEST FRENCH REVIEW OF WALT WHITMAN EZRA GREENSPAN MEASURED BY THE CRITERION of public recognition, the decade of the 1850s was a disappointing one for Walt Whitman. Two editions of his poetry were published, but neither in satisfactory fashion and neither received with the kind of public acceptance or critical acclaim for which he hoped. But in an anonymous self-review he wrote in the first week of the new decade, Whit man announced a new edition of his poems and began the 1860s with re newed hopes of reaching a national audience: We are able to declare that there will also soon crop out the true "Leaves ofGrass," the fuller grown work ofwhich the former two issues were the inchoates-the forthcoming one, far, very far ahead of them in quality, quantity, and in supple lyrical exuberance. Those former issues, published by the author himse1fin little pittance editions, on trial, have just dropped the book enough to ripple the inner first-circles ofliterary agitation, in immediate contact with it. -

THE CENTURY BUILDING, 33 East 17Th Street and 38-46 East 18Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
Landmarks Preservation Commission October 7, 1986; Designation List 186 LP-1539 THE CENTURY BUILDING, 33 East 17th Street and 38-46 East 18th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1880-1881; architect William Schickel. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 846, Lot 30. On May 14, 1985, the Landmarks Preservation Corrmission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of The Century Building, and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Thirty witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Century Building is a rare surviving Queen Anne style corrmercial building in New York City. Designed by William Schickel and built in 1880- 81, it has been a major presence in Union Square for over a century. Schickel, a German-born architect who practiced in New York, rose to prominence as a leading late-19th century designer of churches and institutional buildings in the United States. He designed the Century Building as a speculative venture for his major clients, the owners of the Arnold Constable department stores. Schickel designed the Century Building in the Queen Anne style, an English import defined by a picturesque use of 17th- and 18th-century motifs. More usually associated in this country with residential architecture, the Queen Anne was also used in commercial buildings, but few of these survive in New York City. -

He studied at Bowdoin College where he earned a Bachelor's degree in 1876 and a Master's degree in 1879. He received an honorary Litt.D in 1894. Bates began writing while still a student at Bowdoin, and for a year after graduation, he painted china, tutored, and even worked as a clerk in a metal foundary. Eventually, he was offered the position of editor of the Boston Sunday Courier where he remained until 1893. In 1882, he married Harriet Lenora Vose who was herself a published writer under the pseudonym, Eleanor Putnum. They collaborated on a novel, Prince Vance, published in 1886. Later that year, Harriet passed away, and every volume Bates published thereafter is dedicated to her. The couple had one son, Oric. In 1893, Bates accepted a position as professor of English at Massachusettes Institute of Technology, where he stayed until his retirement in 1915.
