  • Teaching Eighteenth-Century French Literature: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
    Eighteenth-Century Modernities: Present Contributions and Potential Future Projects from EC/ASECS (The 2014 EC/ASECS Presidential Address) by Christine Clark-Evans It never occurred to me in my research, writing, and musings that there would be two hit, cable television programs centered in space, time, and mythic cultural metanarrative about 18th-century America, focusing on the 1760s through the 1770s, before the U.S. became the U.S. One program, Sleepy Hollow on the FOX channel (not the 1999 Johnny Depp film) represents a pre- Revolutionary supernatural war drama in which the characters have 21st-century social, moral, and family crises. Added for good measure to several threads very similar to Washington Irving’s “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” story are a ferocious headless horseman, representing all that is evil in the form of a grotesque decapitated man-demon, who is determined to destroy the tall, handsome, newly reawakened Rip-Van-Winkle-like Ichabod Crane and the lethal, FBI-trained, diminutive beauty Lt. Abigail Mills. These last two are soldiers for the politically and spiritually righteous in both worlds, who themselves are fatefully inseparable as the only witnesses/defenders against apocalyptic doom. While the main characters in Sleepy Hollow on television act out their protracted, violent conflict against natural and supernatural forces, they also have their own high production-level, R & B-laced, online music video entitled “Ghost.” The throaty feminine voice rocks back and forth to accompany the deft montage of dramatic and frightening scenes of these talented, beautiful men and these talented, beautiful women, who use as their weapons American patriotism, religious faith, science, and wizardry.

  • The Many Panics of 1837 People, Politics, and the Creation of a Transatlantic Financial Crisis
    The Many Panics of 1837 People, Politics, and the Creation of a Transatlantic Financial Crisis In the spring of 1837, people panicked as financial and economic uncer- tainty spread within and between New York, New Orleans, and London. Although the period of panic would dramatically influence political, cultural, and social history, those who panicked sought to erase from history their experiences of one of America’s worst early financial crises. The Many Panics of 1837 reconstructs the period between March and May 1837 in order to make arguments about the national boundaries of history, the role of information in the economy, the personal and local nature of national and international events, the origins and dissemination of economic ideas, and most importantly, what actually happened in 1837. This riveting transatlantic cultural history, based on archival research on two continents, reveals how people transformed their experiences of financial crisis into the “Panic of 1837,” a single event that would serve as a turning point in American history and an early inspiration for business cycle theory. Jessica M. Lepler is an assistant professor of history at the University of New Hampshire. The Society of American Historians awarded her Brandeis University doctoral dissertation, “1837: Anatomy of a Panic,” the 2008 Allan Nevins Prize. She has been the recipient of a Hench Post-Dissertation Fellowship from the American Antiquarian Society, a Dissertation Fellowship from the Library Company of Philadelphia’s Program in Early American Economy and Society, a John E. Rovensky Dissertation Fellowship in Business History, and a Jacob K. Javits Fellowship from the U.S.

BENSON Ltd. LONDON : T. C. & E. C. JACK, 35 & 36 PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. AND EDINBURGH PREFATORY NOTE This book of Mountaineering Ventures is written primarily not for the man of the peaks, but for the man of the level pavement. Certain technicalities and commonplaces of the sport have therefore been explained not once, but once and again as they occur in the various chapters. The intent is that any reader who may elect to cull the chapters as he lists may not find himself unpleasantly confronted with unfamiliar phraseology whereof there is no elucidation save through the exasperating medium of a glossary or a cross-reference. It must be noted that the percentage of fatal accidents recorded in the following pages far exceeds the actual average in proportion to ascents made, which indeed can only be reckoned in many places of decimals. The explanation is that this volume treats not of regular routes, tariffed and catalogued, but of Ventures—an entirely different matter. Were it within his powers, the compiler would wish ade- quately to express his thanks to the many kind friends who have assisted him with loans of books, photographs, good advice, and, more than all, by encouraging countenance. Failing this, he must resort to the miserably insufficient re- source of cataloguing their names alphabetically.

  • (Melanaphis Sacchari) on SORGHUM a Thesis by ERIN
    SPECIES COMPOSITION AND ACTIVITY OF THE NATURAL ENEMIES OF SUGARCANE APHID (Melanaphis sacchari) ON SORGHUM A Thesis by ERIN LYNETTE MAXSON Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, James B. Woolley Co-Chair of Committee, Michael Brewer Committee Member, William Rooney Head of Department, David Ragsdale December 2017 Major Subject: Entomology Copyright 2017 Erin Maxson ABSTRACT The sugarcane aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) is an emergent sorghum pest in the southern United States. The objectives of this study were to identify the natural enemy species that are feeding on the aphid in grain sorghum in Texas, track seasonal changes in aphid and natural enemy populations across sorghum hybrids that have differing levels of susceptibility to the aphid, and measure aphid suppression by natural enemies of different size classes. Aphids and natural enemies were sampled on multiple sorghum hybrids at two field locations in south and central Texas over two years. Additionally, aphid suppression by natural enemies of two size classes was evaluated using exclusion cages. Aphids and natural enemies in both locations showed a trend of greater peak abundance on relatively more aphid-susceptible hybrids. At least 19 natural enemy species were present, consisting of parasitoids (Aphelinus sp. and Lysiphlebus testaceipes), lady beetles (Coccinellidae), hoverflies (Syrphidae), lacewings (Chrysopidae and Hemerobiidae), and minute pirate bugs (Anthocoridae). Aphelinus was heavily hyperparasitized by Syrphophagus aphidivorus. Aphelinus and Coccinellidae, the numerically dominant taxa, maintained high activity on resistant sorghum for a longer period than on susceptible sorghum.

EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNALS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE SENATE RELATING TO THE DEATH OF JAMES W. KIMBALL, CLERK OF THE HOUSE FROM 1897 TO 1928. Journal of the House, Wednesday, April 4, 1928. Met according to adjournment, at two o’clock p.m. Prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Reverend Harry W. Kimball, as follows: Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, almost daily we are reminded that our years upon this earth are few, and that the swiftly flying shuttle of time will soon bring to each one the end of his brief stay here. Now, in these moments of silence, with tender hearts and with friendly memories we recall him who during the long long years has served this House so faithfully as its Clerk. Many there are who must do the routine work of the world and care for its many details, else there would be chaos; and this House owes to him who has served it so well a debt beyond measure. But we rejoice that, although for him the laborer’s task is o’er, we have the faith that on earth is only the broken arc and that over yonder must be the perfect round. For him, all the withheld com- pletions of the life here are to be fulfilled in that great spiritual adventure upon -which he has embarked. And so He is not dead, this friend, not dead But in the path we mortals tread Got some few trifling steps ahead And nearer to the end; So that you too, once, past the bend, Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend You fancy dead.

  • I Have Revealed the Social Historian Within
    „Revealing a Cover Star‟ Reflections on Becoming a Cover Star James Woolley 1 I revealed the social historian. „To enter that place where the past lives, where ink on parchment can be made to speak, still remains the social historian‟s dream.‟ Carolyn Steedman (2001) Reinterpretation of Franko B‟s I’m Not Your Babe, memory donated by Kira O‟Reilly 2 Abstract Becoming a Cover Star was an MA Practice-as-Research dissertation performance, curated, created and performed by James Woolley, in September 2010. This critical reflection aims to interrogate Woolley‟s approach in the realisation of his task, his presentation of the live performance, his methods of creating material and his reflections on the future manifestation of the live performance. Becoming a Cover Star allowed me to explore the notion of curatorship and archival practice, through the medium of performance. As a young scholar and performance maker I had identified specific areas that I wished to address through the making of performance. In my previous endeavours my practice has concerned itself with: the body in performance, performance documentation, autobiography, installation art and queer identities. However, I wanted this process to allow new interests to be explored and consolidated. Over the period of seventeen weeks I attempted to address issues of archival practice, participatory methods for making performance, and the abolishment of a linear dramaturgical structure. This culminated in the presentation of Becoming a Cover Star. The performance drew on donations from practicing artists, academics and students of the performance discipline as I asked them for their most memorable moment of performance (please refer to appendix 1 for the original call for donations).
