Charles Brockden Brown may not unjustly be termed “The Father of American Novelists.” Under an equable exterior, he concealed the tormented state of mind in which, in all his novels, he was so much interested. “In Arthur Mervyn Brown managed to give a sense of the horror of silent streets disturbed only by the rattling of the dead cart, of the terror of empty houses abandoned to the dead and the dying, of the atmosphere of disease and death hanging over the panic- stricken city in which neither food nor shelter could be bought. He describes the flight of the living, the atrocities of the hospital, and the hearse men dragging out the still breathing bodies, and illustrates the general desolation by the experiences of Arthur who, attacked by the fever, could only drag himself to a deserted house to die out of reach of the hospital cart. Brown’s descriptions are of an unshrinking real- ism, he never trusts in suggestion or in the imagination of his reader, and yet from his loathsome catalogue of disgusting details there results an effect of simple horror” (Loshe, The Early American Novel).

  • Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing
    Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing By Anthony Watkinson Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries 2001 Abstract Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing examines the suggestion that the so-called monograph crisis can be overcome by making use of the possibilities of electronic publishing. Research monographs are the preferred way in which scholarship is communicated in most disciplines in the humanities and some in the social sciences. The problems faced by publishers influence the practices of the scholars themselves. This study examines the nature of the crisis in the print environment, the aspirations of scholarly publishers in the electronic environment and the attitudes of and impacts on other parts of the information chain. There is as yet little experience of electronic monographs, so the emphasis is on the projections of the various players and on the major experiments that are being funded. There is nevertheless consideration of the practical aspects of making content available in digital form. No immediate solution is presented but there are pointers to fruitful future developments. Anthony Watkinson is an independent consultant with three decades of experience in scholarly publishing. He was a pioneer in putting scholarly journals online. He is a visiting professor in information science at City University, London Library and Information Commission Research Report 109 British National Bibliography Research Fund Report 101 © Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries 2001 The opinions expressed in this report are those of the author and are not necessarily those of Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries BR/010 ISBN 0 85386 267 2 ISSN 1466-2949 ISSN 0264-2972 Available from the Publishers Association at www.publishers.org.uk ii Contents: PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS v EXECUTIVE SUMMARY vi A: Introduction and Context 1.

  • Chapters 1-10 Notes
    Notes and Sources Chapter 1 1. Carol Steinbeck - see Dramatis Personae. 2. Little Bit of Sweden on Sunset Boulevard - the restaurant where Gwyn and John went on their first date. 3. Black Marigolds - a thousand year’s old love poem (in translation) written by Kasmiri poet Bilhana Kavi. 4. Robert Louis Stevenson - Scottish novelist, most famous for Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson met with one of the Wagner family on his travels. He died aged 44 in Samoa. 5. Synge – probably the Irish poet and playwright. 6. Matt Dennis - band leader, pianist and musical arranger, who wrote the music for Let’s Get Away From It All, recorded by Frank Sinatra, and others. 7. Dr Paul de Kruif - an American micro-biologist and author who helped American writer Sinclair Lewis with the novel Arrowsmith, which won a Pulitzer Prize. 8. Ed Ricketts - see Dramatis Personae. 9. The San Francisco State Fair - this was the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939 and 1940, held to celebrate the city’s two newly built bridges – The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and The Golden Gate Bridge. It ran from February to October 1939, and part of 1940. At the State Fair, early experiments were being made with television and radio; Steinbeck heard Gwyn singing on the radio and called her, some months after their initial meeting. Chapter 2 1. Forgotten Village - a screenplay written by John Steinbeck and released in 1941. Narrated by Burgess Meredith - see Dramatis Personae. The New York authorities banned it, due to the portrayal of childbirth and breast feeding.

  • 101 Chapter Books to Read (Or Hear) Before You Grow Up
    101 Chapter Books to Read (or Hear) Before You Grow Up feelslikehomeblog.com /2013/04/101-chapter-books-to-read-before-you-grow-up/ Tara Ziegmont It is worth noting that Grace loves a particular series of fairy books, but I hate them. Hate them. The text is dull and not well written. It’s the book form of candy, empty words without any redeeming intellectual value. There are probably books in your children’s lives that are the same way. Why not feed their little brains with good literature instead of junk books? Just like I limit the junk food in Grace’s belly, I limit the junk books in her brain. I’ll loosen up a little when she’s old enough to read her own books, but as long as I’m doing the reading, we are reading the good stuff. If I am going to take the time to read to Gracie (and I do, every single day), I want to hear her a book that is stimulating. I want a story that draws me in and makes me want to read just one more chapter! I want it to expand what Gracie knows – either in experiences or feelings or understanding of the world. I want a story with layers – something she may come back to again as an older kid or even an adult. There is no junk food here. (There’s also no junk food on my list of 101 Picture Books to Read or Hear Before You Grow Up. ) I’ve read almost every one of these books, either in my own childhood or recently.
