Since launching this journal, we have reached out and published works from around the world, on topics related to any area of English studies. We have published scholarly articles, of course, but also pedagogical essays on theoretical and practical approaches to teaching, critical nonfiction, short fiction, and poetry. This issue is as diverse as the universities within our Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, and we are pleased to have contributors from all over the country and beyond. We have critical articles on literature (American, British, world), essays on pedagogy for teaching both literature and writing, personal narrative, and poetry. Critical essays span the range of approaches. Our authors are full professors and graduate students. While many come from Pennsylvania, others span the globe. This journal celebrates the discipline of “English.” I will let the pieces here speak for themselves. Enjoy. I would like to thank all of you who submitted pieces and were selected, submitted but were not selected, and who read manuscripts and provided the authors feedback. Thanks to the English Association of Pennsylvania State Universities for their support of the journal. If you are interested in joining us here, see the end of the journal for submission guidelines. We are always looking for quality work, as well as those who want to serve as readers. This issue goes “live” at the end of 2008, so I wish all of you a productive and prosperous 2009! Kim Long back to table of contents ©English Association of Pennsylvania State Universities, 2008 7 Boulevards and Alleys: The Nineteenth-Century Cityscapes of Paris and St. Petersburg in Père Goriot and Crime and Punishment Janet Moser, Brooklyn College The urban landscapes that emerge from the writings of Honoré de Balzac and Fyodor Dostoevsky offer students an enormously useful guide to the exploration of the rise and development of the modern city in nineteenth-century Europe. Balzac and Dostoevsky, writing in and of capitals as different as Paris and St. Petersburg, nevertheless share a family of complementary economic, social, political and literary concerns that provide a rewarding and appealing basis for a comparative study of these cities. The physical cities of these novels form an entangling web of streets and structures that mirrors the social drama of the newcomer trying to find his place in the modern urban center. A course centered on the reading of these works, novels contemporary with and descriptive of the rapid transformation of the nineteenth-century city, offers students a particularly rich source of authentic detail. It is through the study of Balzac’s Père Goriot, published in 1835, and Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, published in 1866,

HEROES OF AVIATION BY LAURENCE LA TOURETTE DRIGGS ILLUSTRATED FROM PHOTOGRAPHS BOSTON LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY 1919 Copyright, 1918, BY LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY. All rights reserved NorfcoooU Set up and electrotyped by J. S Gushing Co., Norwood, Mass., U.S.A ) TO OUR HEROES OF AVIATION THIS BOOK IS GRATEFULLY DEDICATED 441077 PREFACE THE author is deeply indebted to M. Jacques Mor- tane and La Guerre Aerienne of Paris for portions of the material used herein relating to the French Air Fighters. M. Mortane, himself an airman and the devoted friend of all fliers, has done more for the cause of Aviation in France than any other living man. His researches in war-aviation will for the years to come form a most valuable history of the birth and growth of the Fourth Arm in Warfare. I desire to here express my further obligations to the London periodicals, Flight, Flying, Aeroplane and Aeronautics, for many of the incidents relating to the British pilots. The inborn reluctance of the British youth to speak of his own heroic deeds prevents the world from esti- mating the marvelous part he has played in sweeping Germany from the skies. The Hun pilots flood the world with the information of their victories. It was not until I visited England as the guest of the British Government in the fall of 1918 that I discovered that twenty British airmen have exceeded by over one hundred the number of victories claimed by the best twenty Aces of the Huns.

THE ORDER OF DAEDALIANS was organized on March 26, 1934, by a representative group of American World War I pilots to perpetuate the spirit of patriotism, the love of country, and the high ideals of sacrifice which place service to nation above personal safety or position. The Order is dedicated to: insuring that America will always be preeminent in air and space—the encouragement of flight safety—fostering an esprit de corps in the military air forces—promoting the adoption of military service as a career—and aiding deserving young individuals in specialized higher education through the establishment of scholarships. THE DAEDALIAN FOUNDATION was incorporated in 1959 as a nonprofit organization to carry on activities in furtherance of the ideals and purposes of the Order. The Foundation publishes the Daedalus Flyer and sponsors the Daedalian Scholarship Program.

New England Pilots in the Lafayette Flying Corps. Bridgewater Review, 5(1), 10-13. Available at: http://vc.bridgew.edu/br_rev/vol5/iss1/8 This item is available as part of Virtual Commons, the open-access institutional repository of Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Essay New England Pilots In The Lafayette Flying Corps by William F. Hanna he Lafayette Flying Corps was the name given to a group of T American pilots who flew with the French Air Service during World War 1. More than 200 Americans became expatriates, for a time at least, in order to try to qualify to fly the latest French fighter planes against the Ger­ mans. By war's end the 180 who suc­ ceeded were serving in 93 French squad­ rons. Although most later transferred to the U.S. Air Service, it was their days in the Lafayette Flying Corps­ and its most elite squadron, the Lafay­ ette Escadrille-which recalled the fond­ est memories among survivors. From the beginning the Lafayette pilots were seen as something special. Even as the war continued, foreign correspondents filed storiesfrom remote French airfields which portrayed these pilots as knights of the air, daredevil Lancelots who laughed in the face of death as they fought the sinister Hun. This glorification escalated in the two decades after the war, a period which saw the rapid growth of both the Major Raoul Lufbery in the uniform of the u.s.
