  • Peter Graves
    Peter Graves Froding, Burns, Scott and Carlyle In February 1890 the Swedish poet Gustaf Froding, at that time convalescing in a nerve sanatorium in Schleswig, wrote a respectful letter to Professor Carl Rupert Nyblom, Professor of lEsthetics in the University of Uppsala. He wrote:1 24 Feb 90 Dear Professor, As you can see, enclosed herewith are a number of translations of foreign poets - Bums, Chamisso, Lenau, Poe - which I was intending to include in a collection of poems that will possibly be published. However, I know that you, Professor, have translated some poems by these authors, although I can't remember which, and since I don't want to make myself appear to be a plagiariser, I have taken the liberty - you might possibly think it pushiness ­ of contacting you to request information. My translations are, admittedly, no more than trifles but it would be despicable if they were to appear in print - irrespective of whether they are new of their kind - as second editions of old familiar things... I ask your forgiveness if I am being discourteous in requesting this, and sign myself, Humbly yours, Gustaf Fr6ding, Dr Kahlbaum's Sanatorium, Gorlitz, Schleswig. [Brev 1, 173-74] As with a good deal else that Froding did, the innocent letter misfired. He received in return a postcard from Nyblom pointing out, not unkindly, that 'the only surprising thing about your letter was that, since it had insufficient stamps, I had to pay double postage. But my boys are stamp collectors 7 NORTHERN STUDIES· 32 and, since the four stamps were of a new variety, one thing ba~ances out the other'.

  • The Changing Image of Greek Americans in American Film: 1943-1963 Dan Georgakas
    From “Other” to “One of Us” The Changing Image of Greek Americans in American film: 1943-1963 Dan Georgakas All new immigrant groups arriving in the United States are regarded with suspicion and scorn. Over the course of decades, most eventually become accepted as full-fledged Americans. Greek immigrants of the Great Migration (1880s-1924) faced particularly negative images when they arrived and were often considered quasi-Europeans at best. This perception was reinforced by silent era movies and the first decade of talking pictures in America. With the exception of sponge divers in Florida, films almost exclusively portrayed Greeks as gamblers, wrestlers, and others on the fringes of society where criminality is common. The negative image of Greeks got a near instant makeover in 1940. The cause of that change was the success of homeland Greeks in routing the invading armies of Benito Mussolini, the first defeat for fascist forces in World War II. Greek valor was celebrated by Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin. Greek soldiers were featured on the covers of Life1 and Time2 magazines. At least eighteen major newspapers highlighted the victory, often with considerable references to ancient Greece.3 A fundamental shift in the image of Greek Americans from negative or marginal to positive is visible in a score of Hollywood films of various genres made during the war era. By the early 1960s, the upgraded perception of Greeks became entrenched and has never abated.4 This phenomenon illustrates how cinema mainly reflects rather than shapes public perceptions. It also underscores the need to consider numerous films when speaking of ethnic images rather than singling out a film as transformative or an expression of public opinion.
