    Trials and Tribulations: Readings and Misreadings of the Revolutionary Body in French Women Novelists, 1792-1799

    Trials and Tribulations: Readings and Misreadings of the Revolutionary Body in French Women Novelists, 1792-1799. The Revolution! An unutterable word. Who can claim to understand clearly and precisely that set of events, alternatively glorious and deplorable, some of them the fruit of genius and daring, or again, of the most respectable integrity, and others born of the most perverse iniquity. Jeanbon Saint-André, Committee of Public Safety One would be hard pressed to find a more confusing period than that of the French Revolution, a time when the body politic tried to integrate and embody two equally powerful but ostensibly oppositional ideologies of the eighteenth century: sensibility and rationalism. The dramatic and tragic disjunction between the two, the one calling on passion, the other dispassion, resulted in a schizophrenic production of contradictory signs, symbols, discourse and actions during the revolutionary period, coming into sharp focus during the Terror, 1793-1794. For the Revolutionaries, it was not a question of one mode opposing the other, but rather they conceived the two modes along a continuum as one led to, and justified, the other. The philosophical, medical, and literary work on materialism and sensationism earlier in the century and in the years leading up to 1789 set the foundations for this connection. Following J. J. Rousseau, the revolutionary’s aim was to embody reason, virtue and sensibility. The violent acts resulting from the sensibility/rationalism dyad, however, showed up the contradictions inherent in connecting the two. The internal conflict within revolutionary discourse, which proclaimed on the one hand love and compassion for one’s fellow man, and cold hard impartial justice on the other, was subject to heated discussion amongst the revolutionaries whose members tried to negotiate the disjunction; for some, such as St.

    Love and Intrigue. a Bourgeois Tragedy 9 Act One 13 Act Two 33 Act Three 55 Act Four 75 Act Five 91

    Open Book Classics Friedrich Schiller Friedrich Schiller Love and Intrigue Friedrich Schiller Translated by Flora Kimmich Introduction by Roger Paulin Schiller’s play Kabale und Liebe, usually translated into English as Love and Intrigue, represents the disastrous consequences that follow when social constraint, youthful passion, and ruthless scheming collide in a narrow se� ng. Wri� en between 1782 and 1784, the play bears the marks of life at the court of the despo� c Duke of Wür� emberg, from which Schiller had just fl ed, and of a fraught liaison he entered shortly a� er his fl ight. It tells the tale of a love aff air that crosses the boundaries of class, between a fi ery and rebellious young nobleman and the beau� ful and du� ful daughter of a musician. Their aff air becomes entangled in the compe� ng purposes of malign and not-so-malign fi gures present at an obscure and sordid princely court somewhere in Germany. It all leads to a climac� c murder-suicide. Love and Intrigue, the third of Schiller’s canonical plays (a� er The Robbers and Fiesco’s Conspiracy at Genoa), belongs to the genre of domes� c tragedy, with a small cast and an Love and Intrigue ac� on indoors. It takes place as the highly conven� onal world of the late eighteenth century stands poised to erupt, and these tensions pervade its se� ng and emerge in its ac� on. This lively play brims with comedy and tragedy expressed in a colorful, highly colloquial, some� mes scandalous prose well captured in Flora Kimmich’s skilled and informed transla� on.

This issue of the MVM Quarterly is a celebration of the town that gave them birth. Tom Dunlop’s lead article, “Edgartown Rising,” uses Cooke Street as a window on the interplay of tensions between religion and commerce— and the sometimes violent struggles between rival sects—that shaped the town’s growth. A pair of articles by Elizabeth Trotter dive deep into Edgartown during the tumultuous 1860s, through the private diary of 24-year-old Mary Marchant and the very public editorials in which James Cooms, the fiery young editor of the Gazette, called for eradication of slav- ery and equal rights for African Americans.

Knode Date Project Leader Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge Complex Concur: Ron Cole Date Refuge Program Supervisor Richard A. Coleman, Ph.D. Date Regional Chief National Wildlife Refuge System Summary SummarySummary Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge is located in Garden County on the eastern edge of the Nebraska Panhandle. It lies on the southwestern edge of the 19,300 square mile Nebraska Sandhills, the largest sand dune area in the Western Hemisphere and one of the largest grass-stabilized regions in the world. The Sandhills are characterized by rolling, vegetated hills and inter­ dunal valleys which are oriented in a northwest to southeast direction. Many shallow lakes and marshes are interspersed in the lower valleys. Native grasses predominate. Wildlife diversity, except large ungulates and their predators, is relatively unchanged since early settlement. There are 21 wetland complexes on the Refuge totaling approximately 8,251 acres or about 18 percent of the total area. These wetlands are a mixture of shallow lakes, marshes, seasonal wetlands, wet meadows and a small stream resulting from Refuge management activities. The Sandhills are within a wide transitional zone called the Mixed Grass Prairie which lies between Tallgrass Prairie to the east and Short Grass Prairie to the west.
