  • 1857: the Mission to Furnish Means for Episcopal Seminarians
    1857: The Mission to Furnish Means for Episcopal Seminarians “The more things change the more they stay the same” might well serve as the appropriate motto for the Society for the Increase of the Ministry as it marks the 150th anniversary of its founding. SIM currently has set a course for the 21st century that requires unprecedented change in its organization and structure in order to remain faithful to its original and same purpose set forth at its founding in 1857: “The object of this corporation shall be to furnish means for the education of candidates for holy orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States.” “The Episcopal Church’s membership stood at about 400,000 in 1857 and would experience significant growth in numbers and geographical dispersion in the latter 19th century.” The need for dedicated, trained and educated ordained leaders of the Church in 2007 remains the same as in 1857, but the circumstances have changed dramatically. The United States during the term of President James Buchanan was heading for the country’s greatest crisis that would erupt into a bloody and fractious war in 1860. The frontier still beckoned settlers to fill the vast spaces that would be defended by Native Americans for several more decades. The Civil War would unleash a new wave of economic development and industrialization and the country would soon be tied together in a new way with the trans-continental railroad. Millions of immigrants would flock to our shores.A nation of 32 million has grown to the 300 million of 2006.

  • American Enlightenment/ American Gothic
    University of Nottingham School of American and Canadian Studies Q43007 American Enlightenment/ American Gothic (20 Credits; Level 3) Spring 2010 Module Convenor: Matthew Pethers 1 American Enlightenment/American Gothic Module Code: Q43007 Credits: 20 Level: 3 Semester: Spring 2010 Pre-requisites: None Convenor: Matthew Pethers Seminar Tutor: Matthew Pethers Email: Matthew Pethers: [email protected] Office Hours: To be announced Description: The aim of this module is to introduce students to a range of key texts and debates from the early national period. American thought and culture between 1776 and 1820 has often been viewed through the lens of the Enlightenment, with its emphasis on rational inquiry, political liberation and social equality, but during the same decades there were also apparently contradictory themes and ideas at play which emphasized the irrational and the oppressive. These impulses found their most striking articulation in the ghostly figures, murderous villains and pervasive paranoia of the form we now call the Gothic. Through primary sources from a number of different disciplines we will explore the relationship between these two traditions, considering how the idealistic aims of the Enlightenment were formulated and expressed, the limitations and contradictions of these aims, and the ways in which America‟s continuing divisions of class, race and gender were dealt with through the lurid imagery of the Gothic. Subjects covered on this module are likely to include: Benjamin Franklin‟s Autobiography;

  • Irving's Posterity
    IRVING’S POSTERITY BY MICHAEL WARNER Like the narrators of all his major books—Geoffrey Crayon, Diedrich Knickerbocker, Jonathan Oldstyle, Fray Antonio Agapida—Washington Irving was a bachelor. In a sketch called “Bachelors” he wrote, “There is no character in the comedy of human life that is more difficult to play well, than that of an old Bachelor.”1 Reinventing that role was the project he took on, more or less consciously, from an early age. As a young man, he belonged to an intimate circle of bachelors (“Cockloft,” they called it) with whom he wrote Salmagundi; when the others married, he wrote with unusual passion about his abandonment. He then came to regard his writing career as an alternative to marriage. As an old man, he maintained himself at Sunnyside, his estate on the Hudson, as a surrogate patriarch to his nieces, his bachelor brother, miscellaneous dependents, and American letters in general. It was a role he played with success; before his death he was almost universally credited as “Patriarch of American literature” and “literary father of his country,” a pseudo-paternity most famously illustrated in the so-called Sunnyside portrait. When he died, he would be eulogized as “the most fortunate old bachelor in all the world.”2 Yet bachelorhood was something he consistently regarded as anoma- lous, problematic, and probably immoral. Irving claimed as early as 1820 that his natural inclination was to be “an honest, domestic, uxorious man,” and that matrimony was indispensable to happiness.3 Over twenty years later, he wrote, “I have no great idea of bachelor hood and am not one by choice.

  • Symbolism in “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving
    PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ALGERIA Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research University of Tlemcen Faculty of Letters and Foreign Languages Department of Foreign Languages Section of English Symbolism in “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving Dissertation Submitted to the Department of English as a partial Fulfillment for the Degree of “Master” in Literature and Civilization Presented by Supervised by Miss. Fatima Zahra BERROUKECHE Dr. Wassila MOURO Mrs. Souad BERBER Academic Year 2015/2016 Dedication I dedicate this work to my precious mother, the source of kindness and tenderness, my father, and dearest friends. I Acknowledgements My extreme appreciation and gratitude are addressed to my respectable teachers and supervisors Dr. Wassila MOURO who was abundantly helpful and supplied priceless support and to Mrs Souad BERBER for her patience, advice and guidance without which I could not have accomplished this task of research.

Furthermore, I have to acknowledge all my friends for the nice times that we spent together helping each other. II Abstract In American literature, Washington Irving’s “Rip Van Winkle” (1819) is an interesting symbolic tale, in which symbolism has been touched in every single corner in it. The objective of this work is to examine symbols in this short story that are used to interpret significant historical events in the American history, which were the American society’s conditions before and after gaining its independence.
