More Pie, PleaseBy Don CummingsWhat you have here is a full genealogical tour of the Sedgwick family, from the boat that brought them to the shores of our American land of opportunity, to the wild diaspora of Sedgwicks into many careers and fates. These Sedgwicks, one after another, have bared the weight of Theodore, the federalist patriarch who built the "big house" in Stockbridge, MA, along with the insanity of his second wife, Pamela Dwight, who suffered from horrendous mental illness, mostly in the throes of depression. Kyra Sedgwick, the wonderful actress from The Closer has been quoted saying, "There's a lot of mental illness in my family." She should have added, "And it's been going on for centuries. We're exhausted." But this is the thing! They are not exhausted. What is uplifting in this tale is how so many of these Sedgwicks, even the ones given over to bi-polar disease, or general mania, or addiction, have succeeded, triumphantly, to make their marks in the arts, letters and business. John Sedgwick does not hide the family light under any bashful bushel: these are chosen WASPS who are to the Groton-Harvard-Manor born. But so many of them, well, simply went crazy, fell apart, landed in asylums, and who knows what else! The story begins with the author in a state of incredible despair and you do wonder when he will bring himself back to the story to explain what happened to him. He doesn't exactly get back to it. This makes sense. It took him a long time to write this book. Years of research. In the process, much changed. It is difficult for a writer to hang onto that original thrust that begins any project. As in life, there are detours galore that can bring a man far from his destination. But as no Sedgwick I have ever heard quoted has said, "Whatevs!" The ride there is quite informative and peeking into this sometimes brilliant, sometimes insane family is just, somehow, a cool/fun ride. One of the main non-breathing points of the story is the family pie, the graveyard where the dead Sedgwicks are buried in generational concentric circles. It is revisited, throughout, in the physical and the intellectual- emotional realm. It made this reader feel like it would be nice to know where he was going to land once everything was all over on this dirty earthly plain. Also, it gives a reason for anyone to visit Stockbridge, to take a visual bite out of this ambitious-crazy filled pie. Read IN MY BLOOD for fun and information. Then, head to the many other great books written by this articulate, sensitive, intelligent writer who, like the Sedgwicks before him, just makes the United States a bit more enjoyable to live in.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I hesitate to criticize the writing in memoirs as most ...By ayre1I hesitate to criticize the writing in memoirs as most of the time the content is the more interesting aspect of the book and would be the reason I read the book in the first place. However, this author is a professional writer with a decent command of words and sentence structure. I think the writing style he uses would work well in a novel but never gets truly going in a 'memoir' type of work. Also, I don't care to read writing that is overly under-dramatic (if that makes sense?) in such a self-aware manner. I think by dropping the self-analysis throughout the book - maybe a few chapters of it here or there - and telling each relative's story in short-story form with all the ambiance - this book could be quite something. As it is, the longer I read it, the less interest I have in this family that, with the exception of amassing land and wealth during the beginning of the United States history, has done nothing substantial beyond producing eccentrics.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful, important bookBy Susan K. NoelThis is, without a doubt, one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. In digging into the past of his own family, John Sedgwick somehow ends up reaching out to anyone who has ever had any kind of struggle with mental or emotional problems. It reads like an exciting novel, and if you're anything like me, you will come to love some of these characters, and will remember them. I first read this book when it came out, and one of the characters (wrong term -- they are real people of course) stuck in my mind, I could not forget him. This led me to read the book again, years later.And when I did I discovered why it had stayed in my mind, as I have some of the same issues that plague the Sedgwick family. Believe me, the beautiful Edie is not the only memorable person in this family. This is a great book. Sedgwick proves himself a wonderful writer, with compassion, depth, and rigorous perception. While working on his second novel, John Sedgwick spiraled into a depression so profound that it very nearly resulted in suicide. An author acclaimed for his intimate literary excursions into the rarified, moneyed enclave of Brahmin Boston, he decided to search for the roots of his malaise in the history of his own storied family—one of America's oldest and most notable. Following a bloodline that travels from Theodore Sedgwick, compatriot of George Washington and John Adams, to Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol's tragic muse, John Sedgwick's very personal journey of self-discovery became something far greater: a spellbinding study of the evolution of an extraordinary American family. From Publishers WeeklyIn this overwritten family biography–cum–memoir, novelist Sedgwick (The Education of Mrs. Bemis) traces in great detail multiples generations of his wealthy yet ill-starred family. Beginning with his own near suicide, Sedgwick takes the unrelenting trials and tribulations of his family and tries to tie them to some parallel history of the U.S. It doesn't work. Reaching back to the late 18th century, the family Sedgwick was in the upper tier of New England society. In Sedgwick's telling, Theodore Sedgwick, a prosperous attorney, set the family off to its posh but difficult history by swindling an old Native American woman out of her property in western Massachusetts. Building a grand country home—a home that would become both family redoubt and scene of some intergenerational depravities—Theodore suffered from what would now be diagnosed as depression. In fact, depression and madness dog the coming generations most famously in the incarnation of Edie Sedgwick, Warhol superstar, world-class drug addict and celebrity suicide. This memoir is not without its pleasures. Sedgwick has a keen eye for detail and a voracious appetite for family lore and history (Catherine Maria Sedgwick was a popular mid-18th-century author; Kyra Sedgwick is an actress). The finely honed prose glides along effortlessly; it just doesn't add up to much. (Jan.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.From BooklistThe acclaimed novelist of The Dark House (2001) and The Education of Mrs. Bennis (2002) turns his attention inward and back through time as he attempts to unravel the mystery of his own psychologically and spiritually devastating bouts of depression. Alarmed by the depths of his despair and his inability to cope despite a successful career and a loving nuclear family, Sedgwick began to research the decidedly dark history of his distinguished New England family. In addition to an intensive course of psychotherapy, his investigations enabled him to comprehend the roots of his own melancholy. Reaching back through three centuries of seemingly stalwart Sedgwick citizens, he uncovered a pattern of mental illness handed down from one generation to the next. The individual stories are fascinating, and together they provide the context for Sedgwick to deconstruct his own demons. With a writer's eye for detail, Sedgwick provides an unflinchingly honest chronicle of an agonizing personal and familial odyssey. Margaret FlanaganCopyright © American Library Association.

  • Mumbet: Folklore and Fact by Arthur Zilversmit Berkshire History Spring 1971 Vol
    Mumbet: Folklore and Fact by Arthur Zilversmit Berkshire History Spring 1971 Vol. I, No. 1 published by the Berkshire County Historical Society Pittsfield Massachusetts An historian is, in a sense, an official custodian of our past. Society assigns to the professional historian the task of sifting the infinite events of the past and writing a comprehensible story of those facts that are significant and relevant for us. But few historians flatter themselves by believing that they are the only custodians of the past. If they are the official custodians, there are thousands of unofficial custodians, and among this group of unofficial recorders of the past one of the most interesting is the teller of folktales. The historian often relies heavily on the work of the folk historian. Although using folk material creates problems for the professional – questions of reliability, for instance – he ignores this material only at the risk of losing an important part of our heritage. The historian can use this folk material in two ways. He can use it as a source for discovering what has happened in the past, and he can use it to establish the point of view and outlook of the group that tells the folk tales. For example, the historian coming across the ballad of John Henry might try to find out the details of the famous contest between muscle and steam drills, or he might use the song to come to some conclusions about how the singers of the ballad felt about the process of industrialization. I would like to use both these approaches in dealing with the folk literature concerning a famous Berkshire County figure, Mumbet.

Known as the “Sedgwick Pie” because of its unconventional circular shape, the plot is centered around Judge Theodore Sedgwick, who died in 1813, and his wife Pamela, their posterity spiraling out in concentric circles beyond them. The lore is that Judge Sedg- wick decreed that his descendants be buried around him with their feet facing the center so when they arose on Judgment Day, they would meet one another’s eyes first. But arguably the most noteworthy person interred in the Sedgwick plot is not a member of the family at all.1 Elizabeth Freeman is the only person buried in the Sedg- wick plot who is not a Sedgwick by blood or marriage.2 She was enslaved in Sheffield, Massachusetts in the late eighteenth century and successfully sued the Commonwealth for eman- cipation, thus establishing a legal precedent for the abolition I am grateful to Holly Jackson, Megan Marshall, David Levinson, David Lambert, Betsy Klimasmith, Jill McDonough, Susan Tomlinson, Julia Dauer, and Catherine Buf- foni at the Stockbridge Library for helpful suggestions and encouragement and to the peer reviewers for their indispensable feedback. 1For a recollection of this family lore, see Jean Stein, Edie: An American Girl (New York: Grove Press, 1994), 3–4.

  • Gender, Race, and Secular Agency in American Protestant Fiction, 1820-1870
    GENDER, RACE, AND SECULAR AGENCY IN AMERICAN PROTESTANT FICTION, 1820-1870 Ashley Reed A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Jane Thrailkill Philip Gura Laurie Maffly-Kipp Timothy Marr Eliza Richards © 2014 Ashley Reed ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ashley Reed: Gender, Race, And Secular Agency In American Protestant Fiction, 1820-1870 (Under the direction of Jane Thrailkill) This dissertation argues that disenfranchised authors of the antebellum and early postbellum periods used fiction as an imaginative space in which to explore new forms of collaborative agency grounded in particular Protestant beliefs. In chapters on Catharine Maria Sedgwick, William Wells Brown, Susan Warner and Augusta Jane Evans, and Elizabeth Stoddard, it asserts that authors excluded not just from voting citizenship but also from the clergy and from sectarian journals explored in fiction questions of atonement, free will, and predestination that helped them to imagine into being new forms of spiritual and temporal agency. This narrative of religiously based cultural innovation has been overlooked by historicist critics working within a secularized and individualist model of self-determination. Building on recent work in the field of secularism studies that replaces inaccurate sociological models of secularization with a more nuanced description of post-Enlightenment secular society, this project illuminates how modern secular conditions offered new opportunities for the circulation and expression of religious thought and enabled nineteenth-century authors to envision collaborative action across race and gender lines.

Bartram, PhD University of Connecticut, 2015 When Jane Minot Sedgwick II (1821-1889), the daughter of an elite New England Unitarian family, joined the Roman Catholic Church in 1853, she joined a new faith culture while remaining embedded in the social world of her birth. This dissertation argues that friendship with other female converts of a similar class was the most important factor in leading her to the Church and smoothing her transition to Catholicism. As a young woman, she was largely uninterested in her family's religious activities and uncomfortable with their religious zeal, but after developing friendships with several elite women who had recently converted, she came to see Roman Catholicism as a viable religious option. Throughout Sedgwick’s childhood, her family had emphasized usefulness, rooted in Unitarian theology, as life’s central goal. Yet she and her family members struggled to understand the relationship between usefulness and happiness as Sedgwick sought usefulness but craved happiness. Family members fretted over the impetuous, independent behavior Sedgwick exhibited during her search for usefulness, but hoped that eventually finding it would bring her emotional stability.

Homestead University of Nebraska–Lincoln* American novelist Catharine Maria Sedgwick had an unusually long career and her books were reprinted in Britain in a variety of circumstances and formats. Both her first novel, A New-England Tale (1822), and her last, Married or Single? (1857), ap- peared in London editions arranged by her or her American publishers, as did many of her books in between (including travel, children’s and conduct books). However, her works also appeared in unauthorized reprints. Sedgwick thus makes an inter- esting case study of how law and custom regulated the reprinting of American liter- ary texts in Great Britain after 1820.
