Oratorywas the Old South's most flourishing means ofaddress; writing eclipsed oratory in the twentieth century. Hardly had the celebrated critic H.L. Mencken coined his arid epithet on the region, dub­ bing it "the Sahara of the Bozart" (a cultural desert), when it flowered into what was to become known as the "Southern Renaissance." Southern litera­ ture continues to blossom. The author of the present work, Professor Joseph A. Bryant Jr., has en­ joyed a long career ofstudying and teaching American and English literature, and has gained from it an extraordinary breadth of knowledge, acuteness of perception, and a maturity ofjudgment in his fields. He concisely and bril­ liantly captures here the essence ofhis subject. This book is, therefore, ideally suited for inclusion in the New Perspec­ tives on the South series, which is designed to give a fresh and comprehensive view of the defining aspects of the regional experience. Each volume is ex­ pected to be a complete essay representing both a syntheSiS ofthe best schol­ arship on its topic and an interpretive analysis drawn from the author's own reflections. CHARLES P ROLAND This page intentionally left blank Preface The present book is best thought ofas an overview-one observer's account, more orless in sequence, ofthe significant literary achievements ofsoutherners during the twentieth century. A friendly observer has called it a "primer," a designation that is probably as accurate as any. To some extent, moreover, it is an idiosyncratic primer, with a selection and emphasis which, though intended to be fair, are the author's alone. Inevitably the scholarship in it is in large part a compilation and assessment of the discoveries and insights of others, hun­ dreds of researchers and critics who have patiently studied one or more as­ pects or parts of a field that, as fields go, is bewildering and sometimes baf­ fling in its diversity and complexity. Many of these workers' contributions have been recorded in two valu­ able bibliographies, Louis D. Rubin Jr.'s A Bibliographical Guide to the Study ofSouthern Literature (Baton Rouge, La., 1969), andJerryT. Williams's South­ ern Literature, 1968-1975 (Boston, 1978). Listings ofmore recent work may be found in the annual bibliographies of the Modem Language Association and in the newsletter published by the Society for the Study of Southern Literature. Much ofthat activity is reflected in the most recent comprehen­ sive account, The History of Southern Literature (Baton Rouge, La., 1985), prepared by a group of established scholars under the general editorship of Louis Rubin Jr. For students at all levels this work is an indispensable starting point and resource. The present writer gratefully acknowledges that it has been so for him. Finally, for valuable criticism and encouragement I am indebted to the members of my family and to several friends of long standing. Among the latter I am espeCially grateful to two former colleagues, Jerome Meckier and John Cawelti of the University of Kentucky, to George Core of the Sewanee Review, to George Garrett ofthe University ofVirginia, whose scrutiny ofan earlier draft and suggestions for improvement have put me deeply in his debt, to Armando Prats, who came to the rescue when my computer faltered, and to Walter C. Foreman, without whose knowledge of computer strategies completion ofthis book might have been postponed indefinitely. This page intentionally left blank Introduction At the beginning of the twentieth century, even the most ardent chauvinist would have hesitated to make a case for the existence ofa southern literature. The South, in the years before and immediately after the Civil War, had pro­ duced competent writers, among them a few whose works continue to bear the scrutiny ofdiscerning readers. Poe was one ofthese, but for the most part he had ignored the region in his writing. Sidney Lanier had written knowl­ edgeably and sympathetically about the South, but Lanier considered its in­ tellectual climate stultifying and sought for a time to leave. Mark Twain, born on the fringes ofthe South, disparaged its manners and mores. The rest, with one or two exceptions, had been content to turn out either a succession of plantation narratives, sentimental stories rich mainly in spurious nostalgia, or local-color sketches ofvarying degrees ofauthenticity. Noone at the time could have foreseen that within fifty years critics both in the region and outside it would begin pointing to a "Southern Renaissance" and speculate about its causes and its future. Nevertheless, at midcentury the evidence that something ofthe sort had happened was plain to see. It was also clear that no one city or region, no single movement or coterie, could take credit for more than a fraction ofthe large body ofliterature that southerners had managed to produce almost while no one was looking, and that publish­ ers, mainly in the North, had been willing and sometimes eager to publish­ this abundance, moreover, in spite of decades of economic depression and a dearth of cultural amenities so severe that one ofits critics, Baltimore~s H.L. Mencken, himselfat least technically a southerner, had referred to the area as a "Sahara ofthe Bozart." The body ofmaterial, which effectively gave the lie to Mencken~s epithet, was remarkable both for its diversity and for its coherence. The sentimental romance was still there (Gone with the Wind was a best-seller in the late 1930s), as was the tale oflocal color, although happily the device of dialectal spelling had all but disappeared; but these old standbys were now over­ shadowed in the eyes of discriminating readers by a wide variety of novels and specimens of short fiction, a poetry of genuine sophistication, essays on a multitude of topics, and a respectable body of literary criticism that was commanding attention, international as well as national, beyond any that had been produced in America since Poe. The coherence in southern writing was 1 2 Introduction traceable, at least in large part, to a sense ofplace that after the Civil War had become a major informing principle in virtually everything that southerners produced. Frequentlythat sense ofplace was twofold, manifesting itselffirst as con­ sciousness ofa specific location-Middle Tennessee, Southern Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, the Virginia Piedmont, or perhaps even a city, Charleston or New Orleans. But as a rule, the reader could usually detect, lurking some­ where above or behind a writer's particular regional consciousness, unmistak­ able intimations ofa transcendent and controlling awareness ofthe South as a whole and ofhis or her identity with it.

State College Boulevard, Brea, CA, USA 92821 ABSTRACT Eight different PM10 samplers with various size-selective inlets and sample flow rates were evaluated for upwind/ downwind assessment of fugitive dust emissions from two sand and gravel operations in southern California during September through October 2008. Continuous data were acquired at one-minute intervals for 24 hours each day. Integrated filters were acquired at five-hour intervals between 1100 and 1600 PDT on each day because winds were most consistent during this period. High-volume (hivol) size-selective inlet (SSI) PM10 Federal Reference Method (FRM) filter samplers were comparable to each other during side-by-side sampling, even under high dust loading conditions. Based on linear regression slope, the BGI low-volume (lovol) PQ200 FRM measured ~18% lower PM10 levels than a nearby hivol SSI in the source-dominated environment, even though tests in ambient environments show they are equivalent.

This thesis examines the relationship between the three themes, arguing that McCarthy empowers the natural world with a spiritual significance that may be experienced by humanity, but not completely understood or expressed. Man, being what Kenneth Burke describes as the “symbol-using” animal, cannot express reality through language without distorting it. Language also leads to the commodification of the natural world by allowing man to reevaluate the reality around him based on factors of his own devising.

  • Episode 113: a Place Worse Than Hell Week of December 2 – 8, 1862
    Episode 113: A Place Worse Than Hell Week of December 2 – 8, 1862 http://civilwar150.longwood.edu “If there is a worse place than hell,” Lincoln told a visitor in December 1862, “I am in it.” The fall state and congressional elections had not gone well. Radical Republicans, angered that the President had remained loyal to McClellan so long, failed to campaign wholeheartedly, leaving the field to the Democrats, who accused the administration of incompetence on the battlefield and of unconstitutional abuse of its power, both in curbing dissent and in daring to speak of freeing slaves. Asked for his reaction to all this bad news, Lincoln said he felt like the boy who stubbed his toe – he was too big to cry, and it hurt too much to laugh. “The fact is that the country is done for unless something is done at once…..” said Senator Zachariah Chandler. “The President is a weak man, too weak for the occasion, and those fool or traitor generals are wasting time and yet more precious blood in indecisive battles and delays.” Rumors circulated that Lincoln would resign in favor of Vice President Hannibal Hamlin, and that McClellan would somehow be recalled to Washington to assume dictatorial power. This attack on his leadership by men of his own party at such a critical time deeply distressed Lincoln: “We are now on the brink of destruction,” he told an aide. “It appears to me that the Almighty is against us.” Generally the public press supported the President. The Washington Chronicle saw “a perfect balance of thoroughly sound faculties, great calmness of temper, firmness of purpose, supreme moral principle and intense patriotism”.

  • Plantation Slavery and Economic Development in the Antebellum Southern United States
    Journal of Agrarian Change, Vol. 3Plantation No. 3, July 2003, Slavery pp. 289–332. and Economic Development 289 Plantation Slavery and Economic Development in the Antebellum Southern United States CHARLES POST The relationship of plantation slavery in the Americas to economic and social development in the regions it was dominant has long been a subject of scholarly debate. The existing literature is divided into two broad interpretive models – ‘planter capitalism’ (Fogel and Engerman, Fleisig) and the ‘pre-bourgeois civilization’ (Genovese, Moreno-Fraginals). While each grasps aspects of plantation slavery’s dynamics, neither provides a consistent and coherent his- torical or theoretical account of slavery’s impact on economic development because they focus on the subjective motivations of economic actors (planters or slaves) independent of their social context. Borrowing Robert Brenner’s concept of ‘social property relations’, the article presents an alternative analysis of the dynamics of plantation slavery and their relation to economic develop- ment in the regions it dominated. Keywords: plantation slavery, capitalism, USA, world market, agrarian class structure INTRODUCTION From the moment that plantation slavery came under widespread challenge in Europe and the Americas in the late eighteenth century, its economic impact has been hotly debated. Both critics and defenders linked the political and moral aspects of slavery with its social and economic effects on the plantation regions Charles Post, Sociology Department, Sarah Lawrence College, 1 Mead Way, Bronxville, NY 10708- 5999, USA. e-mail: [email protected] (until 30 August 2003).

    Santa Clara University School of Law Center for Global Law and Policy 2015 Tokyo Summer Program At Asia Center of Japan, June 8 – June 12, 2015 Introduction to Japanese Law Professor Yasuhei TANIGUCHI, LL.M. Berkeley 1963 & J.S.D.Cornell, 1964 Prof. Em. of Kyoto University and Of Counsel, Matsuo & Kosugi, Tokyo This course follows the Prof. Abe’s course of the same title and tries to approach the Japanese legal system from a slightly different perspective. Emphasis will be on general subjects such as historical developments, constitutional schemes, judiciary and legal professions, dispute resolution, etc. rather than on specific topics of practical interest, which are to be dealt with in other courses. The instructor was born in 1934. His long personal experiences will be infused in the course hopefully to make the course historically interesting. A. Historical and Comparative Basis of Japanese Law It is important to understand the present Japanese law from a historical perspective. Japan experienced a radical legal reform at least twice in its modern history, firstly during Meiji period starting in 1868 under an influence of the European Civil Law and secondly after the defeat in the Pacific War under an influence of the American Common Law. The third wave of reform has visited Japan in the first decade of this century as the justice system reforms dealt with in C below. (1) Tokugawa Law (1603-1868) 1. John H.

  • Freedom! to Americans the Word Freedom Is Special, Almost Sacred
    Freedom! Page 1 of 3 Freedom! To Americans the word freedom is special, almost sacred. Two hundred twenty-nine years ago, our forefathers placed their names on a document, which jeopardized their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. It’s not that we own the word freedom, but among all the peoples of the earth we appreciate it with gratitude. There are so many beautiful aspects of being a free people that we celebrate. Like a kaleidoscope, full of multiple colors, I praise God for the hue that assures us the right and privilege to express ourselves. This is what The First Amendment is all about. As we approach this commemorative July fourth celebration, nostalgia overcomes me. This past week we were informed of the passing of the First Lady of American Fundamentalism, Mrs. Lee Roberson, the beloved wife of Dr. Lee Roberson, former pastor of Highland Park Baptist Church and founder of Tennessee Temple Schools. They were married sixty-eight years. I still remember when she spoke our Mother-Daughter Banquet. Our girls were young and my wife was especially happy to have her since she attended Tennessee Temple University. My mother-in-law said that among all the ladies that spoke to our ladies, Mrs. Roberson was perhaps her favorite, because although she was a lady of grace yet she was also down-to-earth. Through the years I was blessed to have my path cross with the Robersons. Though it may be hard to picture for some who did not know the royal family, when in private conversation, Mrs.
