Ruth Hill Viguers in "Margin for Surprise" l INTRODUCTION This bibliography is a selective one, with emphasis upon lists compiled within the period 1960-1969 and with no inclusion of lists published before 1950. Specificlists named include only those published separately as individual books or pamphlets. Magazine titles are cited as sources for current matcria;s; but no lists included as articles in magazines are given, since their number is legion and they can be located by use of the indexes Library Literature and Education Index. Bibliographies designed specifically as sources of good boo:'s for poor readers have been omitted from the "Lists of Specialized Material's because suchlists are available inthe 1969 revision of the International Reading Association publication, Sources of Good Books for Poor Readers by George D. Spache. When selecting materials for children, there is no substitute for thoughtful examination of the books themselves. However, since such examination is not always possible, and since, even when it is, expert opinion is valuable, basic selectiontools have been indicated by an asterisk which constitutes a first-purchase guide. 3 GENERAL BOOK LISTS Adventuring with Books: A Reading List for Elementary Grades, prepared by a Committee of the National Council of Teachersof English, 1966, New .

    Department of Special Collections Cunningham Memorial Library Indiana State University BOOKS FROM THE LOWNEY TURNER HANDY LIBRARY AT THE COLONY List Prepared & Edited by David Vancil June 8, 2001 / Rev. July 30, 2001 / April 26, 2002 Lowney Turner Handy, writing teacher of James Jones and others, maintained a writing school in southern Illinois. Her teaching approach included the use of various works from her library which students had to read and copy by hand or by using a typewriter in the process of becoming familiar with accomplished writing styles. Most of the books listed below are fiction and poetry, although an occasional title in a different realm is also included. Many of the books are annotated by Handy with comments, sometimes on the pastedown, sometimes in the body of the work.. A few items, notably his own works, were gifts from James Jones. Also included in the collection are published works of other successful students, e.g., Jere Peacock., Tom Chamales, and Edwin Daly. These books were about to be discarded when Elizabeth Bevington, an antiquarian bookseller and member of the Friends of the Cunningham Memorial Library, retrieved them and donated them to the library as the Lowney Turner Handy Library Collection to be housed within the Rare Books Collection.

    'Stimulating Our Literature and Deepening Our Culture'

    Quærendo 47 (2017) 222-251 brill.com/qua ‘Stimulating our Literature and Deepening our Culture’ Translated Books as Book-of-the-Month Club Selections, 1926 to 1973 Corinna Norrick-Rühl Gutenberg-Institut für Weltliteratur und schriftorientierte Medien Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany [email protected] Abstract One of the most prominent book clubs in the US was the Book-of-the-Month Club, established in 1926. The Book-of-the-Month Club marketed books as commodities for consumption, promoting leisurely reading among the growing middle class. But the Book-of-the-Month Club also claimed to be ‘stimulating our literature and deepening our culture’, and in fact, dozens of selected authors went on to receive the Pulitzer Prize or the Nobel Prize for Literature. The body of research on the Book-of-the-Month Club includes Janice A. Radway’s well-known multi-method study A Feeling for Books (1997). But translations among Book-of-the-Month Club selections have not yet been considered. Focusing in particular on books translated into English from German, this paper will present new data on originally foreign-language books that were selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club judges, thereby guaranteeing European authors maximum visibility and exorbitant sales in the US market, which was (and is) usually considered difficult to tap into for non-Anglophone writers. Keywords book sales clubs – Book-of-the-Month Club – translation(s) – German literature Worldwide, millions of readers have accessed their reading material and enter- tainment media through mail-order book sales clubs like Círculo de Lectores, the Nederlandse Boekenclub, Bertelsmann Club or the Book-of-the-Month © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi 10.1163/15700690-12341383Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 08:08:03PM via free access ‘Stimulating our literature and deepening our culture’ 223 Club.

The first is that we are being shoved into a twenty-first century laden with immense challenges and the most serious kind of questions bearing on the human future with a scientific theory and story of evolu- tion based almost entirely on the study of the past and the prehuman and the subhuman. The second is that some day it will likely be recognized that the single greatest shortcoming of twentieth century science was its failure to achieve a fully human theory and story of evolution. By “fully human” theory and story I mean that twentieth-century science did a magnificent job of making both the theory and the story of cosmic evolution come vividly to life for us via physics. It also gave us what seemed to be a reasonably solid and gripping theory of biological evolution via chemistry and biology. But when it tried to deal with the explosion out of nature of higher brain, mind, consciousness, and every- thing else that came to characterize the emergence of our species and our impact on this planet, it fell so far short of what was needed as to be laughable if it weren’t so tragic. Tragic? How so? I have found the quickest way to make the point is to consider this line of thought. As Silvan Tomkin’s script theory (Carlson, 1995) and our personal experience tells us, we live by story—on this most of us will agree.
