HDT WHAT? INDEX (SARAH) MARGARET FULLER THE MARCHESA D’OSSOLI 1819 December: Sarah Fuller, age 10, wrote a letter to her father requesting that she be named Sarah Margaret Fuller (and be addressed as Margaret rather than as Sarah). MARGARET FULLER HDT WHAT? INDEX (SARAH) MARGARET FULLER THE MARCHESA D’OSSOLI 1821 August 11, Saturday: In The Middlesex Gazette an article signed “S” recounted the convenient local legend “–the oldest people telle [sic] me that they heard it in their youth–” that Henry Thoreau would reference in Draft F of “The Ponds.” WALDEN: Some have been puzzled to tell how the shore became so regularly paved. My townsmen have all heard the tradition, the oldest people tell me that they heard it in their youth, that anciently the Indians were holding a pow-wow upon a hill here, which rose as high into the heavens as the pond now sinks deep into the earth, and they used much profanity, as the story goes, though this vice is one of which the Indians were never guilty, and while they were thus engaged the hill shook and suddenly sank, and only one old squaw, named Walden, escaped, and from her the pond was named. A deep and clear body of isolated water such as Walden Pond must have seemed quite mysterious before the development of the geological theory of ice ages, and before the development of an account of how buried masses of ice often linger at the edge of a retreating glacier and gradually melt over centuries or dozens of centuries, to leave precisely such deep water-filled holes. Alas, however, a people with a “forgotten” history of genocide, such as these white Concordians, are ever in dire need of some fanciful account by which their record can precisely be reversed and the people they victimized be portrayed as aggressors while the guilty (or themselves, descendants of the guilty parties and inheritors of the loot the guilt and the shame of genocide) can be allowed to posture as innocent prisoners being tortured and burned alive by barbarous savages. Barbarous savages whom these white Christians trapped in their peaceable villages in the snow of that winter of 1676- 1677, and roped together at the neck, and marched onto the Deer Island concentration camp in Boston Harbor and destroyed by starvation and exposure.4 Note that in this 1821 news item the existence of Walden Pond has become a fanciful proof that it is God, not white Concordians, who destroys strange peoples who interfere with the legitimate agendas of white Concordians. This article is not a “news story” at all, but rather it is a fantasy by which white people, as inheritors of desperate deeds, have discovered a way to add to the original affect of the viciousness and greed of their parents the affect of outrage of a surviving victim and thus mobilize, in the service of their own lives, the force of a shame which might otherwise forestall them from further such acts of desperation. 4.The scenario is rather a familiar one –although its deeps have never adequately been fathomed– at least we have been able to observe this legitimation-myth as it repeated itself in Minnesota during our race war and then in Germany before and during World War II. Margaret Fuller, not one easy to deceive, described it as “the aversion of the injurer for him he has degraded.” HDT WHAT? INDEX (SARAH) MARGARET FULLER THE MARCHESA D’OSSOLI Walden Pond This pond, in the southerly part of town, has something singular, both in its appearance and in the tradition concerning it. It is said that the place which now contains a body of water, was once a high hill — that on this hill the Indians assembled at certain seasons to celebrate their religious festivals, and at other times to burn and torture prisoners taken in the wars with the early settlers of the country; it was on a meeting of numerous chiefs and tribes for the latter purpose, that this celebrated hill disappeared in the midst of their barbarous rejoicings, and sunk with all its savage inhabitants upon it.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Record of a School by Elizabeth Peabody Elizabeth Palmer Peabody (1804-1894) Background. Looking back over the course of Elizabeth Palmer Pea-body ’ s life, every important development in her early years seems to have prepared her for a life in educational reform and a role as America ’ s foremost advocate of kindergarten education. Her mother, Elizabeth Palmer, was an “ independent, well educated ” woman who managed a boardinghouse for students in Atkinson, New Hampshire, and went by the name of the “ Walking Dictionary ” because her extensive reading enabled her to answer all questions put to her by the boarders. Palmer married Nathaniel Peabody, a teacher at the academy, in November 1802 and moved to Andover, Massachusetts, where they administered the North Andover Free School. In 1804 they moved again, to Billerica, Massachusetts, where Elizabeth Palmer Peabody was born on 16 May. There Elizabeth ’ s mother established a boarding school for girls but abandoned it after two years and moved again to Cambridge and finally to Salem, where Peabody spent the remainder of her childhood. In Salem, Elizabeth ’ s mother established a school for children and pioneered an innovative approach to early childhood education that would make a lasting impression on her daughter. “ It seems to me, ” she remarked some years later, “ that the self- activity of the mind was cultivated by my mother ’ s method in her school. Not so much was poured in — more was brought out. ” Peabody followed in her mother ’ s footsteps in one other important way: education was at the center of her life from an early age.

Willson: Shakespeare and the Genteel Tradition in America Lawrence Willson SHAKESPEARE AND THE GENTEEL TRADITION IN AMERICA ALPHWALDO EMERSON said that "Each ~ge .•. must write its own books." We might add that each age R must also define its critical attitude toward the books of the past, for the critical standard of one generation will not serve the next. Our century looks back on the pronouncements IOf the Victorian age-or the age of Rutherford B. Hayes-with condescension, with pity, often with amusement. The very phrase "genteel tradition" grates on the sophisticated ear of the critic of the twentieth century. Gentility suggests to the contemporary mind an avoidance of real issues, the erection of barriers against any intrusion of the unpleasant, a deliberate ignoring of reality. It is quite true that such charges may be proved against the writers of the nineteenth century, but it is equally true that each generation is somewhat prejudiced in its definition of "reality" and "real issues," and that the twentieth century may not be saying the final words on these subjects.

  • The Theme of Alienation in the Major Novels by Ahinad Elsayyad Ahxaad
    The Theme of Alienation in the Major Novels of Thomas Hardy by Ahinad Elsayyad Ahxaad Abuzeid Thesis Submitted to the Department of English Literature in the University of Glasgow For the Degree of Ph.D. University of Glasgow September 1987 I Acknowledgements It would be impossible to acknowledge, or even perhaps to know, all the intellectual debts one has incurred over the years and in the course of writing this study. I would particularly wish to acknowledge my general indebtedness to the outstanding studies by Jean Brooks, John Holloway, Irving Howe, Hillis Miller and Michael Millgate. But there are three critics whose influence I am particularly conscious of, Philip Drew's chapter in The Meaning of Freedom, Robert Grant's lectures on Hardy and Ian Gregor's The Great Web. These have formed immeasurably my thinking about Hardy and contributed much to whatever value this study may have. I must record my incalculable debts to Dr Robert A.D. Grant, my supervisor, for his advice and encouragement, and for his corrections of numerous errors that my laboriously learnt English could not altogether avoid. I must also record my deep respect and gratitude to Professor Philip Drew who kindly agreed to supervise me temporarily during Dr Grant's sabbatical year. He gave me much of his time, scholarship and expertise. I am happy to take this opportunity to express my thanks to Professor Andrew Hook, Head of the Department of English Literature, for his kindness, help and caring attitude and Mr Robert Cummings for his fine course on sources of research.
