    A MEDIUM FOR MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY AND AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997 CASE 1 1. Photograph of Harriet Monroe. 1914. Archival Photographic Files Harriet Monroe (1860-1936) was born in Chicago and pursued a career as a journalist, art critic, and poet. In 1889 she wrote the verse for the opening of the Auditorium Theater, and in 1893 she was commissioned to compose the dedicatory ode for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Monroe’s difficulties finding publishers and readers for her work led her to establish Poetry: A Magazine of Verse to publish and encourage appreciation for the best new writing. 2. Joan Fitzgerald (b. 1930). Bronze head of Ezra Pound. Venice, 1963. On Loan from Richard G. Stern This portrait head was made from life by the American artist Joan Fitzgerald in the winter and spring of 1963. Pound was then living in Venice, where Fitzgerald had moved to take advantage of a foundry which cast her work. Fitzgerald made another, somewhat more abstract, head of Pound, which is in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Pound preferred this version, now in the collection of Richard G. Stern. Pound’s last years were lived in the political shadows cast by his indictment for treason because of the broadcasts he made from Italy during the war years. Pound was returned to the United States in 1945; he was declared unfit to stand trial on grounds of insanity and confined to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for thirteen years. Stern’s novel Stitch (1965) contains a fictional account of some of these events.

  • Little Magazines Suzanne W
    14 Little Magazines Suzanne W. Churchill The Little Magazine and the Making of New Artistic Forms New York, 1917: Patriotism is surging as fighting rages across Europe and the United States gears up to join the Great War. Democracy is at risk. To strengthen its foothold and “bring democracy to the art world,” a group of Americans and Europeans form the Society of Independent Artists and host an unprecedented event: an art exhibition with no jury or prizes, no arbiters of taste or hierarchies of value (Watson 280–81). For a $6 fee, any artist can exhibit work at the Grand Central Palace. French émigré and agent provocateur Marcel Duchamp determines to test the Society’s democratic principles. Under the pseudonym “R. Mutt,” he submits an overturned urinal, set on a black pedestal and entitled Fountain. An argument erupts among the directors about whether to accept the submission: one faction condemns it as an obscene joke, while the other defends it as an expression of artistic freedom. In the heat of the moment, no one recognizes that it is both. The board rejects Fountain, with director William Glackens declaring, “It is, by no definition, a work of art” (qtd. in Watson 314). The urinal disappeared, and no one knows what exactly happened to it (Watson 318). But Fountain was preserved in a photograph taken by Alfred Stieglitz and pub- lished in the Blindman, a little magazine issued shortly after the Independents exhibi- tion opened. By publishing this photograph, along with essays defending the artistic legitimacy of Fountain, the Blindman initiated a process through which an irreverent new form – in this case a utilitarian, mechanically produced object – could be recog- nized, circulated, and ultimately sanctified as one of the most important artworks of the twentieth century.

  • Harriet Monroe's Abraham Lincoln
    Harriet Monroe’s Abraham Lincoln MARK B. POHLAD It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature. —Henry James In 1919, when Harriet Monroe reviewed a new stage hit Abraham Lincoln, by British playwright John Drinkwater, it was already a Broad- way smash and would run continuously for five years in nearly every major American city.1 Although audiences were clearly thrilled, Mon- roe resented the play and found it completely unconvincing: Mr. Drinkwater picks [Lincoln] up out of his own place, and sets him down in a manufactured milieu, where the people do not think his thoughts nor speak his tongue, and even the chairs don’t look natural.2 Her last observation is so withering it deserves a permanent place in theater history.3 What could have so upset Monroe about a portrayal of Lincoln? And how did she come to be so invested in the representation of Illinois’ most famous son? What was her relationship to Lincoln’s memory, and how did it influence her editorial entrepreneurship? Monroe was instrumental in shaping the modern literary treatment of Abraham Lincoln (fig. 1). She revered his memory and advanced the careers of authors who engaged Lincoln as a subject in their work. 1. Roy P. Basler, “Lincoln and American Writers,” Papers of the Abraham Lincoln Asso- ciation 7 (1985), 9. 2. Harriet Monroe, “Review: A Lincoln Primer,” Poetry: A Magazine of Verse 15 (December 1919), 161. 3. Monroe apparently did not read Drinkwater’s introduction to the published ver- sion of the play in which the author graciously confesses his limitations: “I am an Englishman, and not a citizen of the great country that gave Lincoln birth.

Modern American Poetry and the Protestant Establishment Abstract Modern American Poetry and the Protestant Establishment argues that secularization in modern American poetry must be understood with reference to the Protestant establishment. Drawing on interdisciplinary work revising the secularization thesis, and addressed to modern poetry and poetics, Americanist, and modernist scholars, the dissertation demonstrates that the tipping point of secularization in modern American poetry was not reached at the dawn of modernism, as most critics have assumed, but rather in the decades following World War II. From the 1890s to the early 1960s, poets such as Robert Frost, Marianne Moore, James Weldon Johnson, and Harriet Monroe - founding editor of the important little magazine Poetry: A Magazine of Verse - identified the establishment with the national interest, while fashioning gestures of openness toward its traditional targets of discrimination, particularly Roman Catholics, African Americans, and Jews. These gestures acknowledged the establishment's weakened position in the face of internal division, war, racial strife, economic inequality, and mounting calls for cultural pluralism.
