Vocal activists have for generations waged wars against works of literature and 2 art that they have found offensive to their religious or moral beliefs. They have attempted to exert their influence over society as a whole and to impose their values over all others. These activists believed that they were providing an invaluable service to society. From the time of the colonization of the United States through the 1950's, moral activists had the weapon of choice on their side: the strong-arm censorship powers of the law and the courts.

  • Writing About Comics
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators English 100-v: Writing about Comics From the wild assertions of Unbreakable and the sudden popularity of films adapted from comics (not just Spider-Man or Daredevil, but Ghost World and From Hell), to the abrupt appearance of Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman all over The New Yorker, interesting claims are now being made about the value of comics and comic books. Are they the visible articulation of some unconscious knowledge or desire -- No, probably not. Are they the new literature of the twenty-first century -- Possibly, possibly... This course offers a reading survey of the best comics of the past twenty years (sometimes called “graphic novels”), and supplies the skills for reading comics critically in terms not only of what they say (which is easy) but of how they say it (which takes some thinking). More importantly than the fact that comics will be touching off all of our conversations, however, this is a course in writing critically: in building an argument, in gathering and organizing literary evidence, and in capturing and retaining the reader's interest (and your own). Don't assume this will be easy, just because we're reading comics. We'll be working hard this semester, doing a lot of reading and plenty of writing. The good news is that it should all be interesting. The texts are all really good books, though you may find you don't like them all equally well. The essays, too, will be guided by your own interest in the texts, and by the end of the course you'll be exploring the unmapped territory of literary comics on your own, following your own nose.

  • To Inflame the Censors: Hemingway's Use of Obscenity in to Have And
    OF LEGAL AND LITERARY INTEREST To Inflame the Censors Hemingway’s Use of Obscenity in To Have and Have Not BY HON. MONA K. MAJZOUB AND CHRISTOPHER J. DOYLE Ernest Hemingway’s dedication to “full use of the English language” provoked a backlash culminating in the 1938 Detroit ban of To Have and Have Not. The legal battle over the ban of the controversial novel was mired by procedural irregularities, but the litigation catalyzed legal and artistic breakthroughs that ultimately furthered Hemingway’s objective of promoting realism in literature. EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS LANGUAGE WHICH SOME READERS MAY FIND OFFENSIVE. INTRODUCTION In the cabin of a rescue boat at sea between Cuba and Key West, Harry Morgan lies dying.

The Prudential Center was one of seven Regional Home Offices (RHOs) planned by Prudential in the 1950s to decentralize its management. What began as an effort to reinvigorate the company’s bureaucratic makeup evolved into a prominent building program and urban planning phenomenon, promoting the economic prospects of each RHO city and reshaping the geography of the business district.

    Eric J. Werthmann. Graphic Novel Holdings in Academic Libraries: An Analysis of the Collections of Association of Research Libraries Members. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. July, 2008 Year. 44 pages. Advisor: Barbara B. Moran. This study evaluates the quality of the graphic novel holdings of academic members of the Association of Research Libraries in the U.S. A core list of 77 graphic novels that have won awards or are otherwise prominent was developed, and this list was compared with the libraries’ collections as represented in their online catalogs. This was done in order to assess whether academic library collections have kept up with the incredible growth in popularity that the format has experienced in recent years. The study’s findings suggest that ARL members do not have especially strong graphic novel holdings. In addition, the study examined the types of graphic novels these libraries tend to collect. It was determined that they tend to collect works published by mainstream publishers and also those relating to genres they already collect.

    COMSTOCKERY AND CENSORSHIP IN EARLY AMERICAN MODERNISM KAREN E. MAHAR B.A. (English), University of Lethbridge, 2008 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS English University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Karen E. Mahar, 2011 i To my grandmother, Eva Osyany, who always knew I had potential and recognized the importance of letting me discover it for myself. Nagyon szeretlek. Nagyon hiányzol. ~ A Kicsi iii Abstract Anthony Comstock was a moral crusader who abhorred all things lewd and obscene, and who was successful in introducing the Comstock Law to help his fight against it. His life- long battle against vice at the end of the nineteenth-century had an impact on literature and the literary world as it transitioned from Victorian prudery to modernist realism. Comstock’s influence negatively affected publishers, distributers, and writers, in particular, canonical Americans Walt Whitman and Theodore Dreiser. His methods were unconventional, and in the name of morality, Comstock often behaved immorally to achieve his goals of protecting youth from being corrupted by obscenity. The question of the value of censorship was present then, as it still endures today, and centered on the potential harm of viewing or reading obscene materials. Although Comstock presented an impressive record of confiscations and arrests, his crusade did not have a lasting effect beyond the fin de siècle. iv Acknowledgements The undertaking and successful completion of my graduate degree is due to incredible support from incredible people. To all of you, I am eternally grateful.
