  • The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

  • Guided by Her: Aboriginal Women's Participation in Australian Expeditions
    5 Guided by her: Aboriginal women’s participation in Australian expeditions Allison Cadzow I was compelled in a great measure to be guided by her. She was acquainted with all their haunts and was a native of Port Davey, belonging to this tribe and having a brother and other relatives living among them, [Low. Ger Nown] was her native place. Though I knew she intended sojourning with them, yet there was no alternative but to follow her suggestions … George Augustus Robinson discussing Dray’s guiding in Tasmania (6 April 1830) Our female guide, who had scarcely before ventured to look up, stood now boldly forward, and addressed the strange tribe in a very animated and apparently eloquent manner; and when her countenance was thus lighted up, displaying fine teeth, and great earnestness of manner, I was delighted to perceive what soul the woman possessed, and could not but consider our party fortunate in having met with such an interpreter. Thomas Mitchell discussing Turandurey’s guiding in New South Wales (12 May 1836) The Aboriginal women mentioned above are clearly represented as guides and appear in plain view; they are not in hiding. While women did hide from white expedition members – for good reason considering 85 BRoKERS AND BouNDARIES the frequent violence of white people towards them – this was not the only reaction they had. Historians have largely ignored Aboriginal women’s involvement in exploration expeditions, though there are some notable exceptions in the work of Henry Reynolds, Lyndall Ryan and Donald Baker. Some other authors who have attended to them, such as Philip Clarke, imply that women were invariably hidden away during encounters, suggesting they were not actively involved in expeditions.1 Even when women did hide, this was not necessarily the end of the story, as they sometimes re-emerged after assessing the situation.

  • Orwell George
    The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell Volume II: My Country Right or Left 1940-1943 by George Orwell Edited by Sonia Orwell and Ian Angus a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at EOF Back Cover: "He was a man, like Lawrence, whose personality shines out in everything he said or wrote." -- Cyril Connolly George Orwell requested in his will that no biography of him should be written. This collection of essays, reviews, articles, and letters which he wrote between the ages of seventeen and forty-six (when he died) is arranged in chronological order. The four volumes provide at once a wonderfully intimate impression of, and a "splendid monument" to, one of the most honest and individual writers of this century -- a man who forged a unique literary manner from the process of thinking aloud, who possessed an unerring gift for going straight to the point, and who elevated political writing to an art. The second volume principally covers the two years when George Orwell worked as a Talks Assistant (and later Producer) in the Indian section of the B.B.C. At the same time he was writing for Horizon, New Statesman and other periodicals. His war-time diaries are included here.

  • Negotiating the Colonial Australian Popular Fiction Archive
    Negotiating the Colonial Australian Popular Fiction Archive KEN GELDER University of Melbourne There is an identifiable ‘archive’ of colonial Australian popular fiction consisting of romance, adventure fiction, Gothic fiction, crime fiction, Lemurian fantasy and a significant number of related subgenres (bushranger fiction, convict romance, Pacific or ‘South Sea’ adventure, tropical romance, ‘lost explorer’ stories, and so on). Looking at this archive soon reveals both its sheer size and range, and the fact that so little of it is remembered today. Rachael Weaver, Ailie Smith and I have begun to build a digital archive of colonial Australian popular fiction with the primary aim of making this material available to an interested reading public, as well as to scholars specialising in colonial Australian (and transnational) literary studies. At the time of writing we are really only about 20% complete with around 500 authors represented on the site, although many with only a fraction of their work uploaded and with only the bare bones of a scholarly apparatus around them: a few short biographical notes, a bibliography, and the texts themselves: first editions in most cases <http://www.apfa.esrc.unimelb.edu.au/about.html>. The first entry in this digital archive is J. H. M. Abbott (1874-1953), and we have so far uploaded three novels by this author, beginning with Sally: the tale of a currency lass (1918), published as a cheap paperback by the NSW Bookstall with a cover illustration by Norman Lindsay. I should note that we take the colonial period to run at least as far as the First World War and arguably beyond, into the 1920s: where by this time the ‘colonial’ functions as an enabling signifier, a point of reference (as well as a point of origin), already receding from the present even as it continues to be animated, and reanimated, to generate a set of often increasingly nostalgic and nationalist sensibilities.

  • Gibran Kahlil (Gibrān Khalīl Gibrān) Biography and Achievements (1883-1931)
    Institute of Lebanese Thought at Notre Dame University – Louaize, Lebanon Gibran Kahlil (Gibrān Khalīl Gibrān) Biography and Achievements (1883-1931) Prelude It goes without saying that Gibran Khalīl is one of the most prominent and famous Lebanese figures, known nationally and internationally. His good reputation was gained in two sectors: literature and art. His work, biography and personality draw interest and they were, until this day, piquing the curiosity of many researchers and scholars from all over the world. Many researches and studies were conducted on Gibran’s personality and work. In the valuable and elaborative analytical-synthetic study written by “Ghāzī Fūʾād Brax” on Gibran’s style in literature, personality and work, Brax classified all what was written about him in three categories1: the first one is when “the facts were mixed with illusions” and were written in a narrative style that was sometimes supportive (as in “Barbara Yang Book”2) and in other times was dominated by self-display (as Mīkhāʾīl Nuʿaymah’s book was critiqued3). In the second category, the authors avoided the previous mistakes; however, they sometimes succeeded and in other times failed (as in Jabr4 and other books). In the third category, they followed the scientific method, which has helped them to correct their previous mistakes and avoid roving (as with Khalīl Ḥāwī5 and Anṭūn Ghaṭṭās Karam6). 1 Brax, Ghāzī, Gibran Kahlil: An analytical-synthetic study on Gibran’s personality, art and achievements, Printing And Publishing House of An-Nisr Al-Mūḥalliq, Beirut, Lebanon, 1973, pp. 17-19. 2 Young, Barbara, This Man From Lebanon: A Study Of Kahlil Gibran, New York, A.A.
