A History of Oysters in Maine (1600s-1970s) This is a history of oyster abundance in Maine, and the subsequent decline of oyster abundance. It is a history of oystering, oyster fisheries, and oyster commerce in Maine. It is a history of the transplanting of oysters to Maine, and experiments with oysters in Maine, and of oyster culture in Maine. This history takes place from the 1600s to the 1970s. 17th Century {}{}{}{} In early days, oysters were to be found in lavish abundance along all the Atlantic coast, though Ingersoll says it was at least a small number of oysters on the Gulf of Maine coast.86, 87 Champlain wrote that in 1604, "All the harbors, bays, and coasts from Chouacoet (Saco) are filled with every variety of fish.

  • THE PICTURESQUE in GIOVANNI VERGA's SICILIAN COLLECTIONS Jessica Turner Newth Greenfi
    THE PICTURESQUE IN GIOVANNI VERGA’S SICILIAN COLLECTIONS Jessica Turner Newth Greenfield A dissertation submitted to the faculty of 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 Romance Languages and Literatures (Italian). Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Dr. Federico Luisetti Dr. Dino Cervigni Dr. Ennio Rao Dr. Amy Chambless Dr. Lucia Binotti ©2011 Jessica Turner Newth Greenfield ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JESSICA TURNER NEWTH GREENFIELD: The Picturesque in Giovanni Verga’s Sicilian Collections (Under the direction of Federico Luisetti) Giovanni Verga’s Sicilian short story collections are known for their realistic portrayal of the Sicilian peasant farmers and their daily struggles with poverty, hunger and injustice. This study examines the way in which the author employs the pictruresque in his Sicilian novelle and argues that there is an evolution in this treatment from picturesque to non-picturesque. Initially, this study will examine the elements and techniques that Verga uses to represent the picturesque and how that treatment changes and is utilized or actively destroyed as his writing progresses. For the purposes of this dissertation, a definition of the picturesque will be established and always associated with descriptions of nature. In this study, the picturesque will correspond to those descriptions of nature that prove pleasing for a painting. By looking at seven particular novelle in Vita dei campi and Novelle rusticane, I will show that Verga’s earlier stories are littered with picturesque elements. As the author’s mature writing style, verismo, develops, Verga moves through a transtitional phase and ultimately arrives at a non-picturesque portrayal of Sicily in his short stories.

By choosing the history of the Apostle Islands for a dissertation topic, I even added kayaking and sailing to my list of research activities. There were many more hours spent in libraries, but those weren’t quite as memorable. All graduate students should have topics like this one. As I cast about for a dissertation topic, I knew that I wanted a place-based subject that met two requirements: It needed to be about a place to which I had a personal connection, and it needed to apply to a current, ongoing policy question or environmental issue.

Published, February, 1920 TRANSLATOR'S NOTE Of the eighteen hundred and ninety letters published by Chekhov's family I have chosen for translation these letters and passages from letters which best to illustrate Chekhov's life, character and opinions. The brief memoir is abridged and adapted from the biographical sketch by his brother Mihail. Chekhov's letters to his wife after his mar- riage have not as yet been published. \ BIOGKAPIIICAL SKETCH In 1841 a serf belonging to a Russian nobleman pur- chased iiis freedom and the freedom of his family for 3,500 roubles, i)eing at the rate of 700 roubles a soul, with one daughter, Ahixandra, thrown in for nothing. The grandson of this serf was Anton Chekhov, the author; the son of the nobleman was Tcherlkov, the Tolstoyan and friend of Tolstoy. There is in this nothing striking to a Russian, but to the English student it is sufficiently signif- icant for several reasons. It illustrates how recent a growth was l\u) (jduealed middle-class in pre- revohitionary Russia, and it sliows, what is pi^rhaps more significant, the homogeneity of the; Russian people, and their capacity for comphitely changing their whole way of life.

The one was that most clear, amiable and cheerful countenance towards all learning and virtue, which on every side most brightly from your Royal person appearing, hath so inflamed and encouraged, not only me, to the love and admiration thereof, but all such others also, your Grace’s loyal subjects...that we think no travail too great, whereby we are in hope both to profit our Country, and to please so noble and loving a Princess...The other was that earnest and fervent desire that I have, and a long time have had, to show myself (by yielding some fruit of painful diligence) a thankful subject to so virtuous a Sovereign, and a fruitful member of so good a commonwealth’..

The actual definition of an “Antonovaka” is: “Antonovka or Antonówka is a group of late-fall or early-winter apple cultivars with a strong acid flavor that have been popular in Russia as well as in Poland.” He had a pet mongoose named “Svoloch”. He is best known for his short stories and plays. He wrote 201 short stories. One of his literary maxims is that 'If a gun appears in the first act, it must be used by the third,' and remains a rule of literature to this day. Anton Chekhov has 266,619 likes on facebook and has a page dedicated to him with updated information everyday. https://www.facebook.com/ AntonChekhovAuthor He was friends with Russian writers, Leo Tolstoy and Maxim Gorky.
