Literary Retrospectives: the 1890S and the Reconstruction of American Literary History
Literary Retrospectives: The 1890s and the Reconstruction of American Literary History DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Karin L. Hooks Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Elizabeth Renker, Advisor Steven S. Fink Andrea N. Williams Copyright by Karin L. Hooks 2012 Abstract This dissertation proposes that the 1890s were critical to the formation of American literature because of their focus on identifying, collecting, and preserving an American literary tradition. Since 1930, when Fred Lewis Pattee claimed that the twentieth century began in the 1890s, a continuing strain in literary criticism has investigated the decade as the birthplace of modernism. In recent years, however, scholars have begun troubling these historical assessments of the era in order to recover a more nuanced understanding of the decade. Building on their work, I study how competing narratives of American literature existed in the 1890s alongside the fin de siècle movement toward literary nationalism. I recover a group of long-lost literary historians who envisioned a more inclusive American literary canon than was eventually adopted in the early years of the twentieth century. I use the term “scenes of negotiation” to refer to discussions of American literature in late nineteenth-century social discourse about the development of a national American literary tradition. More specifically, I argue that these scenes of negotiation can be read as literary history because no fixed narrative of American literature yet existed. These scenes of negotiation make discernible how accounts of literary history emerged at multiple sites, in multiple genres, through multiple agents. -

Memorial Statements of the Cornell University Faculty 1868-1939 Volume 1
Memorial Statements of the Cornell University Faculty 1868-1939 Volume 1 Memorial Statements of the Cornell University Faculty The memorial statements contained herein were prepared by the Office of the Dean of the University Faculty of Cornell University to honor its faculty for their service to the university. Gould Colman, proofreader J. Robert Cooke, producer ©2010 Cornell University, Office of the Dean of the University Faculty All Rights Reserved Published by the Internet-First University Press http://ifup.cit.cornell.edu/ Founded by J. Robert Cooke and Kenneth M. King The contents of this volume are openly accessible online at ecommons.library.cornell.edu/handle/1813/17811 Preface The custom of honoring each deceased faculty member through a memorial statement was established in 1868, just after the founding of Cornell University. Annually since 1938, the Office of the Dean of the Faculty has produced a memorial booklet which is sent to the families of the deceased and also filed in the university archives. We are now making the entire collection of memorial statements (1868 through 2009) readily available online and, for convenience, are grouping these by the decade in which the death occurred, assembling the memorials alphabetically within the decade. The Statements for the early years (1868 through 1938, assembled by Dean Cornelius Betten and now enlarged to include the remaining years of the 1930s, are in volume one. Many of these entries also included retirement statements; when available, these follow the companion memorial statement in this book. A CD version has also been created. A few printed archival copies are being bound and stored in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and in the Rare and Manuscript Collection in Kroch Library.
