When, in 1836, a mob dragged Francis McIntosh, a free black I man accused of murder, from the St. Louis jail and set him on fire, killing him, “Lovejoy’s T Observer described the lynching by fire as an ‘awful murder and savage barbarity’… [and] • E attacked Judge Luke Lawless” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). Lawless, who presided over the R grand jury investigating the lynching of McIntosh, had “declared that such actions by E A ‘the many—of the multitude… is beyond the reach of human law!’… [and] made it clear A T that he blamed abolitionist agitators… With this judicial encouragement, vandals entered R U the Observer office on three or four occasions… Prophetically, Lovejoy pointed out that L R Lawless’ reasoning would allow a mob to destroy the Observer, kill its editor, and escape Y E punishment’” (Kielbowicz, “Law and Mob Law,” in Law and History Review V.24, 587-88). After mobs destroyed his shop a third time, “Lovejoy moved the Observer to nearby 2 Alton, Illinois, only to see the violence against him and his press escalate… he died, five 0 bullets in his heart, while defending his fourth press from an armed, arsonist mob… 2 Lovejoy’s murder marked a turning point in Northern attitudes regarding the antislavery 0 movement’s print tactics; no longer perceived as a dangerous criminal act, abolitionist print agitation was for the most part tolerated—however grudgingly—as a recognized O form of free speech appropriate to a healthy democracy… that the editor’s murder, N like that of McIntosh, was followed by highly suspicious judicial pandering to the Slave L Power only reinforced abolitionist efforts to associate antislavery with both freedom of I expression and trial by jury” (DeLombard, Slavery on Trial, 57).

With introduction by John Alton verdicts, Abraham Lincoln, then a young attorney in Springfield, lamented the ‘mobocratic spirit… now Quincy Adams, America’s sixth president and a leading abolitionist who, in 1841, successfully defended the abroad in the land.’ In a prophetic speech, Lincoln identified the ‘growing disposition to substitute the wild and enslaved Africans before the Supreme Court in the case of United States v. The Amistad. Here Adams writes: furious passions, in lieu of the sober judgment of the Courts’ as the principal threat to the survival of American “That an American citizen, in a state whose Constitution repudiates all Slavery, should die a martyr in defence political institutions” and, in a reference to Lovejoy, he also spoke harshly of those who “throw printing presses [sic] of the freedom of the press, is a phenomenon in the history of this Union.” Lovejoy, he declares, was “the into rivers, [and] shoot editors.’” Scholar Michael Kent Curtis has credited “abolitionists’ free-speech efforts with first American Martyr to the freedom of the press, and the freedom of the slave.” Co-authored by Joseph C. breathing meaning into abstract notions of freedom of expression and laying the foundation for First and 14th Lovejoy and Owen Lovejoy, with extensive writings by Elijah Lovejoy and vital witness accounts.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

This is only natural, because no man, least of all a writer, lives in a vacuum. He must be influenced to some degree by the sights, sounds and people that surround him from day to day. These influences may take the form of places or events; or they may take the form of other people, or of even another culture. So it is with Willa Cather. I propose to examine her published work in order to ascertain to what extent, if any, French cultural influences, in their various forms, entered into the spirit and the letter of her work. I propose to investigate the possibility of this influence in two ways: directly, by what she says, either in her own person, or through the mouth of one of her characters; and indirectly, by what others say about her.

  • Sources of Inspiration in Willa Cather's Work
    UNIVERZITA PARDUBICE FAKULTA FILOZOFICKÁ DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE Sources of Inspiration in Willa Cather’s Work 2008 Kristýna VONDRUŠKOVÁ University of Pardubice Faculty of Arts and Philosophy Sources of Inspiration in Willa Cather’s Work Kristýna Vondrušková Thesis 2008 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the sources of inspiration that were used by Willa Cather in her fiction. At the beginning, the main sources of inspiration will be established from an overall perspective. After the individual sources of inspiration are analyzed, the thesis will provide analysis of the use of these sources by comparing their importance in four novels: My Ántonia, Death Comes for the Archbishop, Shadows on the Rock and Sapphira and the Slave Girl. The paper will conclude by determining whether some of these influences have a stronger presence in Cather’s work than others and, if so, what this implies. Key words: Willa Cather, sources of inspiration, literary and non-literary influences, My Ántonia, Death Comes for the Archbishop, Shadows on the Rock, Sapphira and the Slave Girl SOUHRN Hlavním účelem této práce je prozkoumání zdrojů inspirace, které ve svých dílech používala Willa Cather. Nejprve budou z obecného hlediska určeny hlavní zdroje inspirace. Po prozkoumání jednotlivých zdrojů inspirace, následuje úplná analýza použitých zdrojů porovnáním jejich důležitosti ve čtyřech dílech: My Ántonia, Death Comes for the Archbishop, Shadows on the Rock a Sapphira and the Slave Girl. Na závěr se tato práce pokusí určit, zda je jeden z těchto vlivů silnější než ostatní a pokud ano, který je nejdůležitější v dílech Willy Cather.
