Music for the People: the Folk Music Revival
MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE: THE FOLK MUSIC REVIVAL AND AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1930-1970 By Rachel Clare Donaldson Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History May, 2011 Nashville, Tennessee Approved Professor Gary Gerstle Professor Sarah Igo Professor David Carlton Professor Larry Isaac Professor Ronald D. Cohen Copyright© 2011 by Rachel Clare Donaldson All Rights Reserved For Mary, Laura, Gertrude, Elizabeth And Domenica ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not have been able to complete this dissertation had not been for the support of many people. Historians David Carlton, Thomas Schwartz, William Caferro, and Yoshikuni Igarashi have helped me to grow academically since my first year of graduate school. From the beginning of my research through the final edits, Katherine Crawford and Sarah Igo have provided constant intellectual and professional support. Gary Gerstle has guided every stage of this project; the time and effort he devoted to reading and editing numerous drafts and his encouragement has made the project what it is today. Through his work and friendship, Ronald Cohen has been an inspiration. The intellectual and emotional help that he provided over dinners, phone calls, and email exchanges have been invaluable. I greatly appreciate Larry Isaac and Holly McCammon for their help with the sociological work in this project. I also thank Jane Anderson, Brenda Hummel, and Heidi Welch for all their help and patience over the years. I thank the staffs at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the Kentucky Library and Museum, the Archives at the University of Indiana, and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress (particularly Todd Harvey) for their research assistance. -

The Nemedian Chroniclers #21 [SS16]
REHeapa Summer Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron LET THERE BE UPDATES The Howard Collector Glenn Lord published 18 issues of his ground-breaking REH fanzine between 1961 and 1973, which we reviewed before. [1] He put out a 19th number (Vol. 4, #1) in summer, 2011, in the same 5 ½ x 8 ¾ format with light gray textured softcovers and 52 pages for $20.00. The volume contains the original version of “Black Canaan” (first published in 2010 by the Robert E. Howard Foundation), an untitled verse, an untitled Breckinridge Elkins fragment, and a drawing, all by Howard from Lord’s collection. Critic Fred Blosser contributes reviews of Steve Harrison’s Casebook and Tales of Weird Menace, both edited by REHupan Rob Roehm and published in 2011 by the Foundation, as well as El Borak and Other Desert Adventures (2010) and Sword Woman and Other Historical Adventures (2011), both edited by REHupan Rusty Burke and published by Del Rey. Blosser observes that the detective-type stories in the first two books tend to be better the more REH concentrates on action and weirdness rather than sleuthing. Blosser thinks highly of the last two, but wishes that Burke had not corrected Howard’s French spellings. THC #19 won Lord the 2012 Robert E. Howard Foundation (“Aquilonian”) Award for Outstanding Periodical. [2] A projected 20th issue, to include the original version of “Crowd-Horror,” was never published (“Crowd- Horror” would be published in 2013 in The Collected Boxing Fiction of Robert E. Howard: Fists of Iron), since Lord died of a heart attack December 31, 2011 at age 80. -

3. L'age Hyborien Probablement Entre 1930 Et 1932, Quelque Temps
3. L’Age hyborien par Javier Martín Lalanda (extrait de Cuando cantan las espadas. La fantasía heroica de Robert E. HOWARD. La biblioteca del laberinto (« Delirio, Ciencia-ficción y fantasía », N°30) ; Madrid ; 2009, 309 p. « Il y a eu d’immenses tombes impies où rêvaient des monstres visqueux ; Il y a eu des nuages tels des plumes imbibées de sang, où criaient des démons à venir. Il y a eu des âges morts pour le Temps, et des continents perdus dans l’Espace ; Il y a eu des vipères dans la vase et un Visage imprécis et abominable. » « La chanson d’un ménestrel fou » (« The Song of a Mad Minstrel ») 0 Probablement entre 1930 et 1932, queLque temps après que Robert E. Howard a décidé de ne plus écrire d’autres épisodes de Kull, le personnage de Conan a surgi dans son esprit comme une réincarnation de ce dernier, ce qui, en y réfléchissant bien, revêt beaucoup plus de sens qu’il n’y paraît car, du Kull de « By This Axe I Rule ! » 0a, allait de ses cendres naître tel un phénix (une autre coïncidence de plus) le Conan de « The Phoenix on the Sword » 0b (Weird Tales, décembre 1932), le récit qui a marqué sa naissance. Puisque l’un de ses recours créatifs consistait à transférer le premier rôle de quelques-uns de ses personnages existant déjà vers les nouveaux qu’il commençait à créer (comme c’est le cas des Pictes, pensés comme un perso- nnage collectif qui est présent dans les cycles de Kull et de Bran Mak Morn), il est très possible qu’il ait essayé de tendre vers une certaine continuité (peut-être plus pour lui- même que pour ses lecteurs) en reliant Conan à Kull, transformant, comme nous le verrons, les Cimmériens (peuple auquel appartenait Conan) en descendants des Atlantes (auxquels avait appartenu Kull). -

Even the most common details, easily ascertainable for most people, have been variously interpreted or have remained un resolved issues in her case: When was she born? Was her name spelled Neal, Neale, or Neil? Whom did she marry? How many times was she married? What happened to her after she wrote Seraph on the Suwanee?

By Lee A. Breakiron ONE-SHOT WONDERS
REHeapa Autumnal Equinox 2015 By Lee A. Breakiron ONE-SHOT WONDERS By definition, fanzines are nonprofessional publications produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, such as a literary or musical genre, for the pleasure of others who share their interests. Readers themselves often contribute to fanzines by submitting their own articles, reviews, letters of comment, and fan fiction. Though the term fanzine only dates from 1940 when it was popularized within science fiction and comic book fandom, the first fanzines actually date back to at least the nineteenth century when, as a uniquely American development, literary groups formed amateur press associations or APAs in order to publish collections of poetry, fiction, and commentary. Few, if any, writers have had as many fanzines, chapbooks, and other ephemera dedicated to them as has Robert E. Howard. Howard himself self-published his own typed “zine,” The Golden Caliph of four loose pages in about August, 1923 [1], as well as three issues of one entitled The Right Hook in 1925 (discussed later). Howard collaborated with his friends Tevis Clyde “Clyde” Smith, Jr., and Truett Vinson in their own zines, The All-Around Magazine and The Toreador respectively, in 1923 and 1925. (A copy of The All-Around Magazine sold for $911 in 2005.) Howard also participated in an amateur essay, commentary, and poetry journal called The Junto that ran from 1928 to 1930, contributing 10 stories and 13 poems to 10 of the issues that survive. Only one copy of this monthly “travelogue” was circulated among all the members of the group. -
Doctoral Thesis History in Robert E. Howard's Fantastic Stories: from An
Doctoral Thesis History in Robert E. Howard’s Fantastic Stories: From an Age Undreamed of to the Era of the Old West and Texas Frontier Dierk Clemens Günther April 2019 Acknowledgements For all the generous help, advice, and support received, I would like to thank the following: Prof. Dr. Shinsuke Ohchi (University of Hiroshima) and Prof. Dr. Reiko Nitta for their all their support, their valuable advice given for this thesis, and their endless patience to bring out the best in me. Lee Breakiron has been of an immense help for having been so gracious to open his archive for me and to provide me with many articles and papers that are not publicly available anymore. Words cannot express my gratitude for this generous support. Also, for always being there, answering many of my question, thanks go out to Bobby Derie, Patrice Louinet and Jeffrey Shanks. I also want to thank the members of Project Pride of Cross Plains, Texas, the staff of the Robert E. Howard Museum, Cross Plains, Texas, and the Public Library, Cross Plains, Texas for all their help in my research for this thesis. Cross Plains is a community of wonderful and kind people, all of whom deserve my thanks but too many to name them here. Nonetheless I would like to give very special thanks for all their help with my research and their friendship to Arlene and Tom Stephenson, Cross Plains, and Ann and Kennith Beeler, Cross Plains. Finally, immense gratitude goes to all my aunts, Claudia Bollacher, Luitgard Reiter, and Barbara Ecker, who always believed in me and without whom I would not be who I am today. -
By Lee A. Breakiron BEYOND CATALOGING HOWARD
REHEAPA Winter Solstice 2008 By Lee A. Breakiron BEYOND CATALOGING HOWARD We live during an exciting time in Howard fandom. While more copies of REH-related publications may have been printed during the boom of the 70s, there has never been a wider number of titles on the market than there is now. Furthermore, we are the beneficiaries of decades of Howard criticism and research into the man and his works. What should be an embarrassment of riches can be daunting, however, when it comes to locating many of them, perhaps in a desire to make our own contributions. Such contributions are always more successful if one has ready access to available knowledge and conclusions, so as not to waste time reinventing the wheel. All this depends on at least knowing what others have done before, and where that work might be found. It’s a further step to actually access the information, which may require purchases, library visits, and Internet inquiries, but one must first know of its existence. Several good bibliographies have been published of Howard’s own writings, but there have been very few lists of works about Howard, and none that attempts completeness. I’m here to suggest that it is time to rectify this situation before too much information and good work have been forgotten. As a scientist, I know that much research is built on what one’s predecessors have discovered. As a collector of Howardiana, I’ve seen too much work that doesn’t deserve to be lost to a collector’s vault or a trashcan. -
Von Brutalen Barbaren Und Dekadenten Despoten Sword and Sorcery Als Fantasy Fiction Im Spannungsfeld Von ‚Natur‘ Und ‚Kultur‘
Von brutalen Barbaren und dekadenten Despoten Sword and Sorcery als Fantasy Fiction im Spannungsfeld von ‚Natur‘ und ‚Kultur‘ Inaugural-Dissertation in der Philosophischen Fakultät und Fachbereich Theologie der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg vorgelegt von Christian Schneider aus Roth D 29 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 27.11.2015 Dekan: Universitätsprofessor Dr. Rainer Trinczek Erstgutachter: apl. Professor Dr. Dieter Petzold Zweitgutachterin: Universitätsprofessor Dr. Heike Paul Zusammenfassung: Mit sword and sorcery (S&S) steht eine wenig erschlossene Untergattung der fantasy fiction (FF) im Fokus dieser Arbeit. Einleitend wird erläutert, dass es sich bei S&S um einen relevanten Untersuchungsgegenstand handelt, da diese Untergattung nicht nur äußerst populär ist, sondern auch einen relevanten und einflussreichen Teilbereich der inzwischen als Forschungsfeld etablierten FF darstellt. Veranschaulicht wird dies anhand der Darstellung von S&S in einschlägigen Überblickswerken zur FF. In Anlehnung an Brian Atteberys Gattungsmodell wird Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings (LOTR) als zentrales Werk der Gattung ‚FF‘ betrachtet. Zudem wird nachgewiesen, dass, gemäß allgemeinem Konsens, mit Robert E. Howards Conan-Reihe ein ebenso zentrales Werk der Untergattung ‚S&S‘ existiert. Als weitere wichtige Autoren von S&S, die im Fokus dieser Arbeit stehen sollen, werden Fritz Leiber und Samuel R. Delany ausgemacht. Unter Erwähnung zahlreicher bereits vorhandener Studien wird veranschaulicht, dass dem Spannungsfeld von ‚Natur‘ und ‚Kultur‘ innerhalb der FF, bedingt durch deren historische Wurzeln, eine besondere Rolle zukommt. Es existieren zahlreiche Hinweise darauf, dass dieses Spannungsfeld für S&S ebenso wichtig ist, dort jedoch völlig anders thematisiert wird. Die Ambiguität der Begriffe ‚Natur‘ und ‚Kultur‘ erfordert an dieser Stelle eine Begriffsklärung sowie die Formulierung von Leitfragen, deren Bearbeitung in dieser Dissertation im Mittelpunkt steht. -

The Nemedian Chroniclers #26 [VE19]
REHeapa Spring Equinox 2019 THE RISE OF THE NEW HYBORIAN LEGION, PART FOUR By Lee A. Breakiron As we saw in our first installment [1], the Robert E. Howard United Press Association (REHupa) was founded in 1972 by a teen-aged Tim Marion as the first amateur press association (apa) devoted to Howard. Reforms by the next Official Editor (OE), Jonathan Bacon, had gone a good way toward making the fanzine Mailings look less amateurish, which in turn attracted more and better members. There was still too many Mailing Comments being made relative to the material worth commenting on, still too little that concerned Howard himself, and still too much being said about tangential matters (pastiches, comics, gaming, etc.) or personal affairs. A lot of fan fiction and poetry was being contributed, but this did garner a lot of appreciation and commentary from the other members. The next OE, Brian Earl Brian, put in a lot of work guiding the organization, though not always competently. Former, longtime REHupan James Van Hise wrote the first comprehensive history of REHupa through Mailing #175. [2] Like him, but more so, we are focusing only on noteworthy content, especially that relevant to Howard. Here are the highlights of Mailings #36 through #45. In Mailing #36 (Nov., 1978), member and longtime agent for the Howard heirs, Glenn Lord, reports on the 4th World Fantasy Convention in Fort Worth, Tex., the previous month: I thought the convention to be quite good … I … picked up Kirby McCauley … and we drove to Cross Plains where I showed him what sights there are to see in that sleepy little town (but failed to find a couple of people I wanted to see at home). -

I focus specifically on Hurston’s autobiography Dust Tracks on a Road to bring to light her critique of Western society. This thesis argues that Hurston purposefully utilized anthropology as a tool to switch the anthropological gaze upon white Western culture, thereby constructing the West as “other.” She masterfully bridges the gap between two disciplines: literature and anthropology.
