  • Lowney Turner Handy Library Collection (PDF)
    Department of Special Collections Cunningham Memorial Library Indiana State University BOOKS FROM THE LOWNEY TURNER HANDY LIBRARY AT THE COLONY List Prepared & Edited by David Vancil June 8, 2001 / Rev. July 30, 2001 / April 26, 2002 Lowney Turner Handy, writing teacher of James Jones and others, maintained a writing school in southern Illinois. Her teaching approach included the use of various works from her library which students had to read and copy by hand or by using a typewriter in the process of becoming familiar with accomplished writing styles. Most of the books listed below are fiction and poetry, although an occasional title in a different realm is also included. Many of the books are annotated by Handy with comments, sometimes on the pastedown, sometimes in the body of the work.. A few items, notably his own works, were gifts from James Jones. Also included in the collection are published works of other successful students, e.g., Jere Peacock., Tom Chamales, and Edwin Daly. These books were about to be discarded when Elizabeth Bevington, an antiquarian bookseller and member of the Friends of the Cunningham Memorial Library, retrieved them and donated them to the library as the Lowney Turner Handy Library Collection to be housed within the Rare Books Collection.

  • William James and His Individual Crisis HARRY MADDUX [email protected]
    Department of Languages, Literature & Philosophy Languages, Literature & Philosophy Working Papers Tennessee State University Year 2007 William James and His Individual Crisis HARRY MADDUX [email protected] This paper is posted at E-Research@Tennessee State University. http://e-research.tnstate.edu/llp wp/2 William James and the Individual 1 William James and His Individual Crisis I. Introduction Students of William James have long commented on how critical periods of his life compelled crucial developments in his philosophical thought. Ralph Barton Perry was the first to capitalize upon this recognition, with his examination of how James’s depression resulted in a very practical and highly personalized belief in the necessity of action as the only viable response to the Darwinian “process of the universe” (Perry 1: 322). Charlene Seigfried posits that, in addition to this seminal event, James likely faced two other crises. In 1895, he turned from psychological studies to specifically philosophical issues (William James’s Radical Reconstruction 12). In 1908-1909, these endeavors forced him to “give up ‘intellectualistic logic’” entirely and depend on a reconstructed “rational strand” in order to answer the old question (first posed in The Principles of Psychology) of how many consciousnesses can be at the same time one consciousness (13). Such insights have enriched and enlivened James studies, but the generalized conclusion they indicate—that James’s philosophy was an intensely lived but largely successful experience—deserves reevaluation. The first part of this judgment is accurate; the second is far less so. James’s first crisis was without doubt a lonely experience precipitated by questions of his responsibility to society and his place among others’ lives (Perry 1: 322).

Scholars or policymakers who identify themselves as realists, of course, do not all perfectly match the realism ideal type. We find, however, that the four assumptions identified with this perspective are useful as a general statement of the main lines of realist thought and the basis on which hypotheses and theories are developed. First, states are the principal or most important actors in an anarchical world lack- ing central legitimate governance. States represent the key units of analysis , whether one is dealing with ancient Greek city-states or modern nation-states. The study of international relations is the study of relations among these units, particularly major powers as they shape world politics (witness the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War) and engage in the costliest wars (World Wars I and II). Realists who use the concept of system usually refer to an international system of states. What of non-state actors? International organizations such as the United Nations may aspire to the status of independent actor, but from the realist perspective, this aspiration has not in fact been achieved to any significant degree. Realists tend to see international organizations as doing no more than their member states direct.

  • Boston in Henry James's the Bostonians
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 19 (2008) From City of Culture to City of Consumption: Boston in Henry James’s The Bostonians Yuko NAKAGAWA* Henry James’s The Bostonians (1886) distinguishes itself from his other works by its disturbing narrator1 and its all-American setting, which amounts to a frank criticism of his home country. In fact some of the novel is so sar- castic that when fi rst serialized in The Century, James had to defend himself even to his brother in his letters.2 His intention can be seen in his Notebook as follows: The relation of the two girls should be a study of one of those friendships between women which are so common in New England. The whole thing is as local, as American, as possible, and full of Boston; an attempt to show that I can write an American story. There must, indispensably, be a type of newspaper man—the man whose ideal is energetic reporter. I should like to bafouer [French: ridicule] the vulgarity and hideousness of this—the impudent invasion of privacy—the extinc- tion of all conception of privacy, etc. I wished to write a very American tale, a tale very characteristic of our social conditions, and I asked myself what was the most salient and peculiar point in our social life. The answer was: the situation of women, the decline of the sentiment of sex, the agitation on their behalf.3 Apparently James’s intention was to write “a very American tale” and to him it was about the friendship between women, journalism that invaded privacy, and the women’s movement which seemed to him to diminish women’s feminine nature.

  • The Turn of the Screw Onadek Winan As Aricie in Juilliard Opera's Production of Rameau's Hippolyte Et Aricie
    BENJAMIN BRITTEN The Turn of the Screw Onadek Winan as Aricie in Juilliard Opera's production of Rameau's Hippolyte et Aricie A Message from Brian Zeger We choose the operas that make up the Juilliard opera season for a number of reasons. They need to be great works that will nourish the growth of our students and satisfy the tastes of a sophisticated public. They need to complement one another so that students and audiences receive a varied diet. As it happens, all three of the works we’re presenting this season—Britten’s The Turn of the Screw, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas and Mozart’s Don Giovanni—seem to speak to the current moment of upheaval in gender and sexual politics. Whether this is chance or the mysterious working of the zeitgeist, I welcome the opportunity to reflect on these timeless issues through the lenses of gifted composers and librettists. The first genius behindThe Turn of the Screw is Henry James, whose 1898 novella is a tour-de-force of ambiguity, indirectness, and horror. Librettist Myfanwy Piper has adroitly transformed the suggestiveness of James’ prose into dialogue that hides as much as it discloses. Rather than a conventional orchestra, Britten’s masterly score employs only solo instruments, demanding that each player bring a soloist’s range of color and imagination. The result is a haunting and highly dramatic piece with virtuoso challenges for the whole cast as well as all the orchestral players. Britten refuses to reduce the story to a simple dichotomy of innocence and corruption.

  • ANALYSIS the Bostonians
    ANALYSIS The Bostonians (1886) Henry James (1843-1916) “The Bostonians (1886)...deals with a group of American oddities somewhat stridently set on improving the status of women. Henry James himself belonged with the school of those who hold, in a phrase which he would have given up his position rather than use, that woman’s place is in the home. He brought to his narrative the tory inclination to satire, and filled the book with sharp caustic portraits and an unprecedented amount of caricature. His Bostonians recall that angular army of Transcendentalists whom Lowell’s essay on Thoreau hung up once for all in its laughable alcove of New England history. James regards them only too obviously from without, choosing as the consciousness through which they are to be represented a young reactionary from Mississippi, Basil Ransom, who invades this fussy henyard and carries away its prized heroine, Verena Tarrant, on the very eve of her great popular success as a lecturer in behalf of her oppressed but rising sex. By such a scheme James was naturally committed to making his elder Feminists all out as unpleasant persons, preying on Verena’s youth and charm and enthusiasm, and bound to keep her for their campaign no matter what it might cost her in the way of love and marriage.” Carl Van Doren The American Novel 1789-1939, 23rd edition (1921; Macmillan 1968) 174-75 “Miss Birdseye is believed to represent Elizabeth Peabody. Basil Ransom, a Mississippi lawyer, comes to Boston to seek his fortune, and becomes acquainted with his cousins, the flirtatious widow, Mrs.
