  • Perry County, Indiana, a History
    "To make the past present, to bring the present near' — Macaulay FOREWORD As an author's privilege is conceded him the right to speak of difficulties met with, of obstacles overcome, in the preparation of his completed work. Yet is it not more agreeable to recall the pleasures encountered along the roadside, the cordial assistance so cheerfully given, the spirit of ready helpfulness which ever brightened the most toilsome research ? While individual acknowledgment of such favours cannot possibly be made, it is hoped that none among those whose aid has contributed toward the material of this volume will, on such score, deem its writer un- appreciative. So marked has been the kindness shown, so encour- aging the words of loyal confidence expressed, that the twelvemonth of its actual writing has taught its writer in many unexpected ways the genuine quality of Perry County friendship, which reaches across all boundary lines to lend a helping hand. It is believed that this same warmheartedness will make every allowance due for unavoidable shortcomings or omissions in the story now offered each one who may care to read.

  • The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, Part One: 1890 to 1919
    Journalist in Silent Film 35 The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929: Part One 1890 to 1919 Joe Saltzman Professor of Journalism Director of the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) A Project of the Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] with Liz Mitchell Senior Research Associate Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Introduction This is the first installment in the landmark study of “The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929.” It covers 1,948 films from 1890 to 1919. Part Two will cover the years from 1920 to the beginning of recorded sound in 1929. This is the first comprehensive study of the beginning of cinema’s earliest depictions of the journalist, mostly newspaper reporters, editors, and publishers. Newspaper fiction flourished at a time when journalism “was a revolutionary force, tearing up traditions, redefining public morality, and lending voice and encouragement to the disenfranchised. It reflected currents sweeping through every phase of American life. The skyrocketing circulations, the manic search for exclusive news, the sensational headlines, and the concentration of newspaper ownership were signs of an America changing from a rural society to an urban and industrial one. Since journalism so clearly mirrored and so loudly supported the new order, it became the preeminent symbol for the mechanization, standardization, democratization, and vulgarization of culture.”1 Historian Howard Good points out that the 1890s “represented a watershed not only in American journalism but also in American history.

  • The Spoken Text CD 1 1 a Door Creaks; Wind, Thunder, and Woman's
    The Spoken Text CD 1 1 A door creaks; wind, thunder, and woman’s scream. Well that, as you may have guessed – if with a certain puzzlement – is the beginning of a ghost story; and this – though you mightn’t guess it – is the ghost. Beethoven: Sonata in B flat, Op. 106 ‘Hammerklavier’ (opening) There, with a characteristic shake of his spectral fist, speaks the spirit of Beethoven – a spirit whose unique combination of intellectual toughness and emotional depth has loured, sometimes menacingly but always inspiringly, over composers as diverse as Wagner, Berlioz, Tippett, Dvořák (who once in his youth rushed out after a performance of the Beethoven Ninth and proclaimed ‘I must write music like that!’), and Brahms, who knew from the beginning that that privilege was Beethoven's alone. Or perhaps not quite from the beginning, because at the beginning he was haunted. So let's renew our acquaintance with the ghost. Beethoven: Sonata in B flat, Op. 106 ‘Hammerklavier’ (opening) And now let's get on with the haunting. Let us turn to Brahms's Opus 1: Piano Sonata No. 1 in C, Op. 1(opening) The opening bars of Brahms's First Piano Sonata. When that was first published, its resemblance to the opening of Beethoven's so- called 'Hammerklavier' Sonata was widely remarked. And wherever he went, whatever he wrote, the name and image of Beethoven haunted him, sometimes almost to the point of obsession. In fact, his coming to terms with Beethoven's ghost is one of the great dramas – perhaps the central drama – of Brahms’s creative life.
