  • Thorne Smith in the Wake: Arno Schmidt's Neglected
    Papers on Joyce 2 (1996): 91-96 Thorne Smith in the Wake : Arno Schmidt's Neglected Recommendation FRIEDHELM RATHJEN Universidade da Coruña In the post-war reception of James Joyce in Germany, the role played by the novelist Arno Schmidt (1914-79) can hardly be overestimated. Starting with his harsh critique of Georg Goyert's translation of Ulysses in 1957 (which eventually led to Hans Wollschläger's new translation), Schmidt wrote a number of essays on Joyce which still today have not lost their impact on German readers' conception of Joyce's works, especially Finnegans Wake . In contrast to this, Schmidt's readings of the Wake have left virtually no traces in Joyce scholarship, and the reasons are quite obvious: being a strongly original writer himself, Schmidt imposed his own eccentric conceptions of the literary work of art on Joyce rather than looking for Joyce's conceptions, and, moreover, Schmidt tried to overcome his “anxiety of influence” by wilfully disparaging Joyce's character, the professional Joyce exegets, and in part also Joyce's works, especially certain aspects of Finnegans Wake .1 According to Schmidt, the scene of Finnegans Wake is laid in Trieste rather than Dublin, and the whole book deals with nothing else but the rivalry of James and Stanislaus Joyce over Nora Barnacle. Although Schmidt's discoveries seem to have been taken seriously by most of his readers in Germany, it is only too natural that the international community of Joyce scholars ignored Schmidt. Some of Schmidt's incidental discoveries, however, deserve more attention than they have received so far, and one of these is Schmidt's identification of Thorne Smith as a background for at least one passage in the Wake .

DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WORKS ENTER THE PUBLIC DOMAIN?: EMPIRICAL TESTS OF COPYRIGHT TERM EXTENSION Christopher Buccafusco. & Paul J. Heald ABSTRACT According to the current copyright statute, in 2018, copyrighted works of music, film, and literature will begin to transition into the public domain. While this will prove a boon for users and creators, it could be disastrous for the owners of these valuable copyrights. Accordingly, the next few years will witness another round of aggressive lobbying by the film, music, and publishing industries to extend the terms of already-existing works.

  • The Armed Services Editions and American Print Culture, 1943-1947
    Alexander H. Poole. “As Popular as Pin-Up Girls:” The Armed Services Editions and American Print Culture, 1943-1947. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April, 2009. 121 pages. Advisor: Barbara B. Moran. During the Second World War, the United States government collaborated with American publishers to provide servicemen with unprecedented access to reading material. Between 1943 and 1947, the Armed Services Editions project supplied 1,322 titles and nearly 123 million books in all genres, from classics to westerns. Using both primary and secondary sources, the following essay probes the interplay between culture and society, home front and theaters of war, as viewed through the lens of the Armed Services Editions. The project provides a case study, in short, through which to analyze what historians Carl Kaestle and Janice Radway call “print culture” between 1943 and 1947. The Armed Service Editions initiative reveals not only changes in modern book publishing and in modern book reading, but also documents larger trends in modern American culture, notably the ascendance of “middlebrow” culture during the second quarter of the twentieth century. Ultimately, the Armed Services Editions represent a valuable—yet often overlooked—chapter in American cultural history. Headings: Books and reading—United States—History—20th century. Popular culture—United States—History—20th century. World War, 1939-1945—United States. Literature—Appreciation—United States—History—20th century. Middle class—United States—History—20th century.

    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 27 Number 1 Spring 2006 Under the Influence of Laughing Gas BY CURTIS ARMSTRONG Not only a phenomenal talent of the Silver Screen, but a topping inside-Hollywood historian, Curtis gave this talk at the Hooray for Hollywood convention in Los Angeles, August 2005. Serial mayhem, drug use, alcoholism, alcohol and tobacco abuse by minors, violation of child-labor laws, child abandonment and endangerment, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, juvenile delinquency, child-on- child violence, unwanted sexual contact. ollywood is responsible for much of what we see on television Hand in films. It is attacked like clockwork by the arbiters of public morals for corrupting American youth, inciting violence, diminishing attention spans, dumbing down our intellects, and encouraging the violent overthrow of our duly elected government—when we have one. Our seasonal earthquakes, floods, fires, and mudslides are considered a righteous judgment on a modern-day Cities of the Plain. As Wodehouse himself might put it, it’s the kind of city that makes one wonder whether man is really God’s last word. Let’s face it, as far as many Americans are concerned, Hollywood might as well be France. Curtis Armstong makes merry with wine rather than But the litany of violence and corruption I have listed above laughing gas, while sporting a classy Drones Club tie! comes not from the latest hit series or erotic thriller, but from P. G. Wodehouse’s 1936 novel Laughing Gas. “Ah, Hollywood, Hollywood! Bright city of sorrows, where fame deceives and temptation lurks, where souls are shriveled in the furnace of desire, whose streets are bathed with the shamed tears of betrayed maidens! Hollywood! Home of mean glories and spangled wretchedness, where the deathless fire burns for the outstretched wings of the guileless moth and beauty is broken on sin’s cruel wheel.” Theodore Dreiser?
