  • Helen Hunt Jackson

    Helen Hunt Jackson

    Helen Hunt Jackson By: Ashlyn Hauser American poet and writer, Helen Hunt Jackson, is currently making history with her recent non-fiction book, Century of Dishonor. Her book covers all the terrible injustices the ​ ​ Native Americans had to face with America from the time the revolution took place to 1881 when she published the book. After publishing, she sent a copy to every member in Congress, which called attention to the affairs, causing the creation of the Dawes Act in 1887, an act that separated members of a tribe into individuals. Later, in 1884, Helen Hunt published her second book, Ramona, a romance novel about ​ ​ an orphaned Native American girl and a wealthy owner of a sheep ranch. Although it sounds sweet, the novel emphasizes the government’s mistreatment of the Native Americans after the Mexican-American wars in South Carolina. Born on October 15, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts, Helen Fiske was born into a rich and religious family, her father being a professor. She was well educated, better than most women of her time, having been exposed to mathematics, science, and philosophy. As a child, she was described as a high-spirited, and fun-loving child; however, Helen ended up having a difficult childhood, for she was orphaned at 14 from the death of her mother through tuberculosis when Helen was 11, and her father dying only three years later. In 1852, Helen Fiske married Edward Bissell Hunt, a mechanical engineer in the U.S. Army. His constant changes in stations gave her the chance to connect with many writiers of her time.

Billington The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Billington: In accordance with Public Law 104-285 (Title II), The National Film Preservation Foundation Act of 1996, I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2003 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. It gives me great pleasure to review our accomplishments in carrying out this Congressional mandate. Since commencing service to the archival community in 1997, we have helped save 630 historically and culturally significant films from 98 institutions across 34 states and the District of Columbia. We have produced The Film Preservation Guide: The Basics for Archives, Libraries, and Museums, the first such publication designed specifically for regional preservationists, and have pioneered in pre- senting archival films on widely distributed DVDs and on American television. Unseen for decades, motion pictures preserved through our programs are now extensively used in study and exhibition. There is still much to do. This year Congress will consider the reauthorization of our federal grant programs. Increased funding will enable us to expand service to the nation’s archives, libraries, and museums and do more toward saving America’s film heritage for future generations. The film preser- vation community appreciates your efforts to make the case for increased federal investment. We are deeply grateful for your leadership. Space does not permit my acknowledging all those supporting our efforts in 2003, but I would like to single out several organizations that have played an especially significant role: the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Andrew W.

    LEAF, BARK, THORN, ROOT: ARBOREAL ECOCRITICISM AND SHAKESPEAREAN DRAMA by Jason Charles Hogue DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Amy L. Tigner, Supervising Professor Stacy Alaimo Jacqueline Fay ABSTRACT Leaf, Bark, Thorn, Root: Arboreal Ecocriticism and Shakespearean Drama Jason Charles Hogue, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Amy L. Tigner Leaf, Bark, Thorn, Root traces the appearance of trees and their constituent parts in five Shakespearean plays: Macbeth, The Tempest, 3 Henry VI, Richard III, and As You Like It. The dissertation shows how these plays reveal arboreal agencies intra-acting with the characters of the play-texts by assessing the mergings of human and arboreal bodies, as well as instances of hacking and hewing inflicted across these bodies. Taking a posthumanist approach informed by ecomaterialism, critical plant studies, and affect theory, I argue that these sites of painful human- arboreal encounter in Shakespeare’s plays initiate potentials for thinking-with and feeling-with, across not only species (in the spirit of Donna Haraway’s Companion Species Manifesto) but also across biological kingdoms. Throughout the dissertation, I complicate philosopher Michael Marder’s theories of plant-thinking via these early modern depictions of and relations to trees, whose complex existences inform the texts in multiple registers. The trees of Shakespeare offer ways into theorizing plant-being that not only reflect early modern preoccupations but also resonate across the centuries, potentially serving as a bridge between historicist and presentist methodological concerns, a useful nexus for facing looming ecological issues like climate change, the effects of which long-lived trees bear bodily witness in their annual growth rings and in the shifting of leaf longevity.
