The family lived in a rural suburb of Metz, an area recently conquered in the Franco-Prussian War and subjected to a regime of forced Germanization. Frieda attended a local Roman Catholic convent school but found few friends among the French population. Her social world was composed of her sisters, with whom she alternately competed for parental attention and allied herself with in order to manipulate their parents, the family servants in whose care the girls were generally left, and Prussian soldiers whom she met while playing in the trenches left over from the war.

  • Spectres of Modernism: Authorship, Reception and Intention in Witter Bynner and Arthur Davison Ficke's Spectra Hoax
    1 Spectres of Modernism: Authorship, Reception and Intention in Witter Bynner and Arthur Davison Ficke’s Spectra Hoax A thesis presented by Stephen Jakubowicz 698542 to The School of Culture and Communication in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in the field of English and Theatre Studies ENGL40023 in the School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Supervisor: Dr Sarah Balkin October 2017 2 Abstract This thesis draws from a range of primary materials relating to the Spectric School, a hoax poetry movement concocted in 1916 by poets Witter Bynner and Arthur Davison Ficke, to reconcile the movement’s relationship to the backdrop of modernist print culture. Specifically, it argues that Bynner and Ficke exploited a breakdown of discourses surrounding modernist conceptions of authorship, identity, and intention in their construction of the hoax movement. Additionally, this thesis considers the hoax alongside contemporary appraisals of the movement, and argues that the hoaxers’ subversion of what it meant to be an author exposes a growing disjunction during the modernist period between a culture of reviewing and modernist conceptions of authorship. Finally, this thesis considers Bynner and Ficke’s use of a hoax movement as a medium to further their poetic aims and avers that the hoaxers’ retrospective recasting of their motives alongside the development of the hoax complicate current critical valuations of the movement. Through considering Bynner and Ficke’s recasting of poetic intention, I challenge readings of the hoax that interpret it as having had a clear didactic purpose in parodying modernist poetry, and instead argue that the Spectra Hoax serves as an interface of meanings that complicates attempts to inscribe clear notions of authenticity, authorship and intentionality onto it.

  • Indianism and the Modernist Literary Field
    ABORIGINAL ISSUES: INDIANISM AND THE MODERNIST LITERARY FIELD By Elizabeth S. Barnett Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in English August, 2013 Nashville, TN Approved: Professor Vera Kutzinski Professor Mark Wollaeger Professor Allison Schachter Professor Ellen Levy For Monte and Bea ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I have been very fortunate in my teachers. Vera Kutzinski’s class was the first moment in graduate school that I felt I belonged. And she has, in the years since, only strengthened my commitment to this profession through her kindness and intellectual example. Thank you for five years of cakes, good talks, and poetry. One of my fondest hopes is that I have in some way internalized Mark Wollaeger’s editorial voice. He has shown me how to make my writing sharper and more relevant. Allison Schachter has inspired with her range and candor. My awe of Ellen Levy quickly segued into affection. I admire her way of looking, through which poetry and most everything seems more interesting than it did before. My deep thanks to Vanderbilt University and to the Department of English. I’ve received a wonderful education and the financial support to focus on it. Much of this is due to the hard work the Directors of Graduate Studies, Kathryn Schwarz and Dana Nelson, and the Department Chairs, Jay Clayton and Mark Schoenfield. I am also grateful to Professor Schoenfield for the opportunity to work with and learn from him on projects relating to Romantic print culture and to Professor Nelson for her guidance as my research interests veered into Native Studies.

    GIFT or eg CJU^A^ cfl II. DEBS AND THE POETS DEBS AND THE POETS ^ Edited by RUTH LE PRADE . With an Introduction by UPTON SINCLAIR PDBLI8HBD BY UPTON SINCLAIR PASADENA. CAL. Copyright, 1920 BY RUTH U PRAD 9653 (To E. V. D.) BY WITTER BYNNER Nine six five three, Numbers heard in heaven, Numbers whispered breathlessly, Mystical as seven. Numbers lifted among stars To acclaim and hail Another heart behind the bars. Another God in jail, Tragic in their symmetry, Crucified and risen, Nine six five three, From Atlanta Prison. ^48716 INTRODUCTION United States has an old man in prison THEin the Federal Penitentiary of Atlanta. The government regards this old man as a common felon, and treats him as such; shaves his head, puts a prison suit upon him, feeds him upon prison food, and locks him in a steel-barred cell fourteen consecutive hours out of each twenty-four. But it appears that there are a great many people in the United States and other countries who do not regard this old man as a common felon; on the contrary, they regard him as a hero, a martyr, even a saint. It appears that the list of these people includes some of the greatest writers and the greatest minds of Europe and America. These persons have been moved to indignation by the treatment of the old man and they have expressed their indig- nation. Ruth Le Prade has had the idea of col- lecting their utterances. Here are poems by twenty-four poets, and letters from a score or two of other writers.

Commissioned by the Library and prepared by Associate University Librar- ian Karen Calhoun of Cornell University, the report assesses the impact of the Internet on the traditional online public- access catalog and concludes that library patrons want easy-to-use catalogs that are accessible on the Web. The report, “The Changing Nature of Gail Fineberg the Catalog and Its Integration with Other Library Police, with a force of more than 109, received the top award for 100 percent par- Discovery Tools,” grew out of the Library ticipation in the 2005 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).
