Between Chautauqua and Washington Square BETWEEN CHAUTAUQUA AND WASHINGTON SQUARE: RELIGIOUS LIBERALISM AND POLITICAL RADICALISM IN THE THOUGHT OF ANNIS FORD EASTMAN AND MAX EASTMAN A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Division of Religion, Drew University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Philosophy J. Terry Todd, Ph.D., Dissertation Committee Chairperson by Geoffrey N. Pollick Drew University Madison, New Jersey August 2015 Copyright © 2015 Geoffrey N. Pollick All rights reserved. ABSTRACT “Between Chautauqua and Washington Square: Religious Liberalism and Political Radicalism in the Thought of Annis Ford Eastman and Max Eastman” Ph.D. Dissertation by Geoffrey N. Pollick Graduate Division of Religion Drew University August 2015 This dissertation explores the life and thought of Annis Ford Eastman, one of the first women ordained in U.S. Congregationalism, in relation to the early intellectual development of her son, Max Eastman, well-known publisher of The Masses and participant in New York City’s early twentieth-century radical subculture. Contributing the first systematic treatment of Annis Eastman’s sermons, lectures, and personal papers, this dissertation presents her pursuit of ordination, ministerial career, and participation in the women’s movement as a distinct trajectory within religious liberalism, and as a vital groundwork in relation to which Max Eastman’s political and cultural radicalism emerged. Building from a combination of romantic idealism and evolutionary science acquired through study at Oberlin College in the 1870s, Annis Eastman developed a form of subjectivity that supported her pursuit of ordination in transgression of gendered conceptions of religious leadership. Articulated through the term “self-realization” during the 1890s and 1900s, Annis Eastman advanced a critique of gender, particularly in relation to religion, that envisioned its abolition as a primary category of social distinction. When interpreted from the vantage of Annis Eastman’s work, Max Eastman’s early critiques of philosophy, psychology, art, and politics reveal the substantial influence of his mother’s thought. This dissertation thus identifies points of continuity between religious liberalism and political radicalism, which previous scholarship has framed as opposed social orientations.

With pleasure, I express gratitude to those individuals and institutions who helped me along the way. The Lilly Library at Indiana University provided generous support for research in the Eastman Manuscripts through the Everett Helm Visiting Fellowship. Breon Mitchell, at that time serving as director of the Lilly Library, extended warm hospitality during my days in Bloomington. Several staff members at the Lilly, especially Rebecca Cape, David K. Frasier, and Cherry Williams, exerted extra effort on my behalf in order to provide access to new and uncataloged materials. Research support also came through funds provided by the Edwards- Mercer Prize of Drew University’s Graduate Division of Religion. The interlibrary loan staff of the Rose Memorial Library at Drew University, Kathy Juliano and Madeline Nitti-Bontempo, processed scores of requests for rare and obscure books and documents. The Chemung County Historical Society generously permitted reproduction of images from its collections, and its archivist, Rachel Dworkin, provided valuable assistance in accessing materials. I owe untold thanks to the members of my dissertation committee, Prof. J. Terry Todd, Prof. Morris L. Davis, Jr., and Prof. C. Wyatt Evans. Not only did these scholars serve as my principal teachers and mentors during graduate study, but they offered constant support for my work on this dissertation. When it seemed the project might falter, they ushered me through completion of the manuscript and its defense. Prof. Todd, chairperson of the dissertation committee and my advisor throughout doctoral study, lent especially kind and abundant encouragement and insight. I thank him for his constant faith in this work and in my efforts. v vi My colleagues and mentors in the Religious Studies Program of New York University, Adam H. Becker and Angela Zito, as well as Patton Burchett, Ann Neumann, and Janine Paolucci, spurred me towards completion during the last stages of writing and revision. Attendees at the American Academy of Religion, especially Tracy Fessenden, provided valuable criticism of some of the earliest ideas for this project. Courtney Bender generously allowed me to share an early version of chapter four with the Columbia University Seminar on Religion in New York, where Daniel Vaca, Tony Carnes, and Jeffrey Shandler shared helpful feedback. My colleagues at Drew University, especially David F. Evans and Dhawn B. Martin, and a University of Cambridge colleague, João Abreu, offered camaraderie and critique as I puzzled through the process of conceiving and writing the dissertation. Prof. Katherine Brown, Alma M. Tuitt, and Michelle Campbell always reminded me that completion of the dissertation was possible. Members of my family remained supportive through the near decade-and-a-half of my careering through graduate work. George Pollick and Sharon Pollick, my parents, sparked an affinity for things academic, and I stand in their debt for filling their home with books and reading and thinking. I also thank my siblings—Gregory Pollick, Jonathan Pollick, and Kathryn O’Connell—and their families, who, though scattered across the continent and globe, always at least feign interest in the obscure figures about whom I write and rant.

  • Rethinking the Historiography of United States Communism: Questioning American Radicalism*
    chapter 7 Rethinking the Historiography of United States Communism: Questioning American Radicalism* We ask questions of radicalism in the United States. Many on the left and amongst historians researching and writing about its past are driven by high expectations and preconceived notions of what such radicalism should look like. Our queries reflect this: Why is there no socialism in America? Why are workers in the world’s most advanced capitalist nation not ‘class con- scious’? Why has no ‘third party’ of labouring people emerged to challenge the established political formations of money, privilege and business power? Such interrogation is by no means altogether wrong-headed, although some would prefer to jettison it entirely. Yet these and other related questions continue to exercise considerable interest, and periodically spark debate and efforts to reformulate and redefine analytic agendas for the study of American labour radicals, their diversity, ideas and practical activities.1 Socialism, syndicalism, anarchism and communism have been minority traditions in us life, just as they often are in other national cultures and political economies. The revolu- tionary left is, and always has been, a vanguard of minorities. But minorit- ies often make history, if seldom in ways that prove to be exactly as they pleased. Life in a minority is not, however, an isolated, or inevitably isolating, exper- ience. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the us gave rise to a signific- ant left, rooted in what many felt was a transition from the

  • Melinda and Her Sisters: Reconsidering a Suffrage Operetta As Pageantry
    Melinda and Her Sisters: Reconsidering a Suffrage Operetta as Pageantry A thesis submitted by Kendall H. Winter in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music Tufts University February 2017 Advisor: Stephan Pennington ii Abstract This thesis claims that the sui generis classification of Belmont and Maxwell’s Melinda and Her Sisters as a suffrage operetta is to blame for the lack of extant scholarship on the work. In its place, I offer the analytical framework of pageantry. Relying on contemporaneous press and practical guides and recent histories of each genre, I reconstruct the commercial and critical atmosphere in the year the work was created, 1916. I also draw on suffrage propaganda, government documents, and court cases to convey the sociopolitical tension of the historical moment. By placing the two genres in dialogue, I reveal a chiasmus of gender and class coding attendant to each. I conclude that it was the relatively high cultural capital of “suffrage operetta,” and not its aptness of description, that ultimately led the creators to market their work as such. As a genre case study, this thesis comments on the impact that ontology has on reception. iii Table of Contents Introduction ............................................................................................................. 1 Chapter One: Reassessing the Operetta Classification ......................................... 15 Chapter Two: A Case for Pageantry ....................................................................

  • 222 Furby Street, Young United Church
    222 FURBY STREET YOUNG UNITED CHURCH HISTORICAL BUILDINGS COMMITTEE 31 October 1985 222 FURBY STREET YOUNG UNITED CHURCH Situated at the corner of Broadway and Furby Street, this large brick church is an important landmark in this west end neighbourhood. Originally Young Methodist, the present church consists of a 1906 building joined to a 1910 structure. The earlier section is on the west side, facing Broadway, while the 1910 section faces east onto Furby. At the present time the west portion contains the sanctuary while the east portion includes offices, classrooms and meeting space. While this Young Church structure belongs to the twentieth century, the church as a spiritual community had its origins in 1892 with the founding of the first young Methodist Church. Methodism was the largest of the Protestant churches in Canada at the time,1 having been established with British ties in the Maritimes in 1765 and infused with an American strain in Upper Canada with the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists. These two dominant strains were reinforced with subsequent immigrations and the national church united in 1874.2 This particular church recalls the name of Rev. George Young, an energetic missionary who first brought Methodism to the prairies in 1868.3 As the first of the Methodist circuit preachers, Rev. Young saw the mother church, Grace Methodist, established in Winnipeg as well as the founding of Wesley College, later United College and the University of Winnipeg.4 Certainly Young Church remains to honour the early Methodist missions in the prairie west, while the impact of the Methodist Church is substantial indeed.

  • “A Square Deal for the Least and the Last”: the Career of WG Smith
    “A Square Deal for the Least and the Last”: The Career of W.G. Smith in the Methodist Min- istry, Experimental Psychology, and Sociology Stephen Harold Riggins Introduction Although it is a convention for authors to seek anonymity by using initialized pen names, W.G. Smith is an exceptionally anonymous name. “I have no photograph, not having visited a photographer in ten years,” he wrote in April 1921. “I shall have to ‘sit,’ if you desire one, but I thrive best in obscurity.” It is this modesty that is responsible for W.G. Smith’s (1873-1943) obscurity. He should be remembered today as a Newfoundlander who contributed to the intellectual life of Canada before Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949. Salem Bland (1859-1950) in his book The New Christianity; or, The Religion of the New Age — a key text for the social gospel movement — acknowledged an intellectual debt to two people, an editor and “my friend, Professor W.G. Smith of the University of Toronto, who gave me valuable criticisms and suggestions” (Bland, 1973: 6). Smith was also a friend of another important intellectual figure in Toronto, the philosopher George John Blewett (1873-1912). Among all the nineteenth- and twentieth- century idealist philosophers in Canada, Blewett may be the most significant for a rational Christian understanding of the relationship between humans and nature (Armour and Trott, 1981: 321). Blewett is the author of The Study of Nature and the Vision of God (1907) as well as The Christian View of the World (1912). Born in the town of Cupids in March of 1873, W.G.
