  • Hoosier Hard Times - Life Was a Strange, Colorful Kaleidoscopic Welter Then
    one Hoosier Hard Times - Life was a strange, colorful kaleidoscopic welter then. It has remained so ever since. A HOOSIER HOLIDAY since her marriage in 1851, Sarah Schänäb Dreiser had given birth al- most every seventeen or eighteen months. Twelve years younger than her husband, this woman of Moravian-German stock had eloped with John Paul Dreiser at the age of seventeen. If the primordial urge to reproduce weren’t enough to keep her regularly enceinte, religious forces were. For Theodore Dreiser’s father, a German immigrant from a walled city near the French border more than ninety percent Catholic, was committed to prop- agating a faith his famous son would grow up to despise. Sarah’s parents were Mennonite farmers near Dayton, Ohio, their Czechoslovakian ances- tors having migrated west through the Dunkard communities of German- town, Bethlehem, and Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Sarah’s father disowned his daughter for marrying a Catholic and converting to his faith. At 8:30 in the morning of August 27, 1871, Hermann Theodor Dreiser became her twelfth child. He began in a haze of superstition and summer fog in Terre Haute, Indiana, a soot-darkened industrial town on the banks of the Wabash about seventy-five miles southwest of Indianapolis. His mother, however, seems to have been a somewhat ambivalent par- ent even from the start. After bearing her first three children in as many years, Sarah apparently began to shrink from her maternal responsibilities, as such quick and repeated motherhood sapped her youth. Her restlessness drove her to wish herself single again.

  • Names in Marilynne Robinson's <I>Gilead</I> and <I>Home</I>
    names, Vol. 58 No. 3, September, 2010, 139–49 Names in Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead and Home Susan Petit Emeritus, College of San Mateo, California, USA The titles of Marilynne Robinson’s complementary novels Gilead (2004) and Home (2008) and the names of their characters are rich in allusions, many of them to the Bible and American history, making this tale of two Iowa families in 1956 into an exploration of American religion with particular reference to Christianity and civil rights. The books’ titles suggest healing and comfort but also loss and defeat. Who does the naming, what the name is, and how the person who is named accepts or rejects the name reveal the sometimes difficult relationships among these characters. The names also reinforce the books’ endorsement of a humanistic Christianity and a recommitment to racial equality. keywords Bible, American history, slavery, civil rights, American literature Names are an important source of meaning in Marilynne Robinson’s prize-winning novels Gilead (2004) and Home (2008),1 which concern the lives of two families in the fictional town of Gilead, Iowa,2 in the summer of 1956. Gilead is narrated by the Reverend John Ames, at least the third Congregationalist minister of that name in his family, in the form of a letter he hopes his small son will read after he grows up, while in Home events are recounted in free indirect discourse through the eyes of Glory Boughton, the youngest child of Ames’ lifelong friend, Robert Boughton, a retired Presbyterian minister. Both Ames, who turns seventy-seven3 that summer (2004: 233), and Glory, who is thirty-eight, also reflect on the past and its influence on the present.

CONSTABLE, Printers to His Majesty - I F 8 g 7 HOST s 2 A PREFATORY NOTE GUSTAV FRENSSEN, the author of Jorn Uhl, was born in the J =3 remote village of Barlt, in Holstein, North Germany, on October 19, 1863. His father is a carpenter in this village, and, according to the church register, the Frenssen family has lived there as long as ever such records have been kept in the parish. In spite of his father's humble circumstances, Gustav Frenssen managed to attend the Latin School at the neighbouring town of Husum, and in due time became a student of theology. He heard courses of lectures at various Universities, passed the necessary examinations, and finally, -after long years of waiting, was appointed to the care of souls in the little Lutheran pastorate of Hemme in Holstein. Here within sound of the North Sea, and under the mossy thatch of the old-fashioned manse, he wrote his first two books, Die Sandgrafin and Die drei Getreuen. These two novels remained almost unknown until after the publication of Jorn Uhl in 1902. This book took Germany by storm.

  • These Strange Criminals: an Anthology Of
    ‘THESE STRANGE CRIMINALS’: AN ANTHOLOGY OF PRISON MEMOIRS BY CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS FROM THE GREAT WAR TO THE COLD WAR In many modern wars, there have been those who have chosen not to fight. Be it for religious or moral reasons, some men and women have found no justification for breaking their conscientious objection to vio- lence. In many cases, this objection has lead to severe punishment at the hands of their own governments, usually lengthy prison terms. Peter Brock brings the voices of imprisoned conscientious objectors to the fore in ‘These Strange Criminals.’ This important and thought-provoking anthology consists of thirty prison memoirs by conscientious objectors to military service, drawn from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and centring on their jail experiences during the First and Second World Wars and the Cold War. Voices from history – like those of Stephen Hobhouse, Dame Kathleen Lonsdale, Ian Hamilton, Alfred Hassler, and Donald Wetzel – come alive, detailing the impact of prison life and offering unique perspectives on wartime government policies of conscription and imprisonment. Sometimes intensely mov- ing, and often inspiring, these memoirs show that in some cases, indi- vidual conscientious objectors – many well-educated and politically aware – sought to reform the penal system from within either by publicizing its dysfunction or through further resistance to authority. The collection is an essential contribution to our understanding of criminology and the history of pacifism, and represents a valuable addition to prison literature. peter brock is a professor emeritus in the Department of History at the University of Toronto.

Here are remembrances, emotionally inspired, of personal journeys through a landscape of experience that has been both tranquil and turbulent. Her poems are "pearls dancing," shimmering like her own life in an all too brief sunlight; her stories portraits, at times fragile, at times triumphant in their will to witness lasting humaness. She is tmly a talent and a presence too soon lost. -James Ragan, Poet Director, Professional Writing Program University of Southern California Morgan possessed a rare and beautiful soul. Those wide brown eyes of hers shone forth with a child's curiosity and innocence. But her heart was the heart of woman who was haunted by unfathomable darkness. Morgan's words are infused with depth, wisdom, honesty, courage and insight. Her descriptions reveal the intense thirst she had for even the most mundane aspects of life -- a fingernail, the scale of a fish, a grandfather's breath, a strand of hair. The attention she pays to details can help us to return to our lives with a renewed revereance for all the subtle miracles that surround us each moment.

  • Elliott Roosevelt: a Paradoxical Personality in an Age of Extremes Theodore M
    Elliott Roosevelt: A Paradoxical Personality in an Age of Extremes Theodore M. Billett Elliott Roosevelt, the enigmatic younger brother of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, is a compelling study in contradiction. Though several of Elliott’s closest family members—from his brother to his daughter, Eleanor—became important figures on the national stage in twentieth century America, he has largely been forgotten. The reasons historians overlook Elliott, including his obscurity and the calamitousness of his lifetime, are not unlike the motives that drove his family to similar reticence. Yet, a deeper and more nuanced treatment of Elliott reveals much about late nineteenth century America and about a complicated personality with intrinsic connections to important historical actors. Like the Civil War of his childhood and the Gilded Age in which he lived, Elliott’s life presents a complicated, often paradoxical existence. Born to a family dissevered by the Civil War, raised in aristocratic society but financially inept, devoted to social welfare causes but engaged in a life of frivolity and ostentation, praised for his likeability but disdained for his selfishness, raised on notions of temperance and morality but remembered for his intractable drinking and debauchery, Elliott resists simplistic, unifying definitions. Unable to tease apart the bifurcated nature of Elliott’s life, a more effective picture of his character can be presented by wading into the mire of his contrasts. Significant representations of Elliott’s duplicitous reality and his conflicting conduct can be seen throughout his life. His household and family were wrenched by the Civil War. He was committed to helping the unfortunate and needy, but lived the life of Gilded Age boulevardier.
