Plimpton, ’76, recently presented to the college a large collection of material relating to the English and American theatre of the nineteenth century. More than 1200 plays are represented in the collection in addition to numerous playbills, programs, libretti, histories, and after-pieces, as well as an autographed photograph of Edwin Booth as Richelieu. The collection seems to have been a part of the extensive theatrical library of Mr. Edward Boltwood of Pittsfield, whose father was born in Amherst in 1839 and moved to Pittsfield in 1870. Mr. Boltwood, although an active member of the Berkshire bar, made the theatre his avocation and found time to write a number of small pieces for the stage, one of which is included in the present collection. He was also instrumental in establishing the William Parke Stock Company in Pittsfield, and continued his connection with this company by writing reviews of its plays.

The Corsican Brothers
THE CORSICAN BROTHERS A NOVEL BY ALEXANDRE DUMAS TRANSLATED BY HENRY FRITH LONDON GEORGE ROUTLEDGE AND SONS BROADWAY, LUDGATE HILL NEW YORK: 416, BROOME STREET 1880 LONDON: PRINTED BY WOODFALL AND KINDER, MILFORD LANE, STRAND, W.C. TO HENRY IRVING THE LATEST REPRESENTATIVE OF THE TWIN BROTHERS THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED BY THE TRANSLATOR THE CORSICAN BROTHERS. CHAPTER I. IN the beginning of March, 1841, I was travelling in Corsica. Nothing is more picturesque and more easy to accomplish than a journey in Corsica. You can embark at Toulon, in twenty hours you will be in Ajaccio, and then in twenty-four hours more you are at Bastia. Once there you can hire or purchase a horse. If you wish to hire a horse you can do so for five francs a-day; if you purchase one you can have a good animal for one hundred and fifty francs. And don't sneer at the moderate price, for the horse hired or purchased will perform as great feats as the famous Gascon horse which leaped over the Pont Neuf, which neither Prospero nor Nautilus, the heroes of Chantilly and the Champ de Mars could do. He will traverse roads which Balmat himself could not cross without crampons, and will go over bridges upon which Auriol would need a balancing pole. As for the traveller, all he has to do is to give the horse his head and let him go as he pleases; he does not mind the danger. We may add that with this horse, which can go anywhere, the traveller can accomplish his fifteen leagues a day without stopping to bait.

Genre Matters: Response
Genre Matters: Response Carolyn Williams ach of the papers I selected reminds us that the matter of genre is never an issue of definition or taxonomy, but of dynamic forma- Etion. With the novel, this issue of formation, through gestures of inclusion and exclusion, is particularly acute. If the “law of genre” seems to insist that genres are not to be mixed, that law is clearly made to be broken. And the novel is not only a mixed genre but a modernizing mixture. Through inclusion, ironization, and sublation, the novel subjects other genres and world-views to itself, taking them in, examining them, relegating them to the status of the old and outworn or the partial and fragmentary, within its voracious, comprehensive new order. The novel—certainly by the Victorian period—is not so much a loose, baggy monster as a dialectical engine for making these distinctions. Analysis of generic formation always brings with it the ghost of an intentional effect, the suggestion of purposiveness that confirms our critical alertness to aesthetic form and to historical formation. In the papers I’ve selected, generic forces come together and pull apart, some- times delicately, sometimes violently. Thus these papers help us to see questions of genre inflecting other matters. But they also help us to see some of the ways genre matters, especially to the novel. David Kurnick distinguishes between domesticity and theater to argue against the received historical narrative of the novel’s triumph and the theater’s defeat. Using Thackeray’s failed 1854 play, The Wolves and the Lamb, as his example, Kurnick proposes another model, of mutually internalized interrelation.

Appendix 1 Number of Individuals out of Every 1000 Who Could Not Sign Their Name on a Marriage Register: 1896–1907
Appendix 1 Number of individuals out of every 1000 who could not sign their name on a marriage register: 1896–1907 Male Female Total 1896–1900 32 37 69 1901–1905 20 24 44 1905–1907 27 27 54 355 Appendix 2 Extract from Beatrice Harraden, ‘What Our Soldiers Read’, Cornhill Magazine, vol. XLI (Nov. 1916) Turning aside from technical subjects to literature in general, I would like to say that although we have not ever attempted to force good books on our soldiers, we have of course taken great care to place them within their reach. And it is not an illusion to say that when the men once begin on a better class of book, they do not as a rule return to the old stuff which formerly constituted their whole range of reading. My own impression is that they read rubbish because they have had no one to tell them what to read. Stevenson, for instance, has lifted many a young soldier in our hospital on to a higher plane of reading whence he has looked down with something like scorn – which is really very funny – on his former favourites. For that group of readers, ‘Treasure Island’ has been a discovery in more senses than one, and to the librarians a boon unspeakable. We have had, however, a large number of men who in any case care for good literature, and indeed would read nothing else. Needless to say, we have had special pleasure in trying to ﬁnd them some book which they would be sure to like and which was already in our collection, or else in buying it, and thus adding to our stock.
