  • The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

  • Tarzan the Censored
    TARZAN THE CENSORED by Jerry L. Schneider Forward In "Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure" by Richard A. Lupoff, the author stated that the Ballantine Books' versions of the Tarzan series were edited (evidently for political correctness), not the "all complete and unabridged" as Ballantine stated on the paperbacks. So, armed with the earliest hardcover editions that I owned in my collection (McClurg, A. L. Burt, Grosset & Dunlap, Burroughs Inc., and Canaveral Press) and post 1969 Ballantine editions, I scanned through them for discrepancies and changes. There were changes from the early hardcovers that I found in some of the paperbacks. Some of the books in the Tarzan series were edited for "political correctness" with regards to ethnicity dialects and derogatory terms. Hard to read dialects (or hard to typeset) were changed to an easier form (i.e. hit's changed to it's, heat to eat, and hour to our), while extremely derogatory terms such as Jew (see Tarzan and the Golden Lion) and nigger were altered or eliminated (not for the betterment of the story as the alteration in the words has lessened the impact the originals imparted to the reader—the level of anger toward the character who spoke the words has been lessened). The term "black" remained in place in some books but removed from others—no rhyme or reason to the changes. Esmeralda's original dialect in "Tarzan of the Apes" remained in place through 1969, then edited downward to an easier and friendlier version. Because of these changes, an in-depth look at the various editions of "Tarzan of the Apes" is shown below, while the other books in the Tarzan series are only compared by using an early hardcover version and the first version that was edited, usually the Ballantine edition.

  • Back to the Stone Age
    BACK TO THE STONE AGE But Jason Gridley shook his head. “The rest of you go on,” he said. “I will remain in Pellucidar until I have solved the mystery.” Von Horst, von Horst— where are you now, Bill? Can you see that endless sun on high— can you sing those jazz- tune songs you loved and hear me calling? Or are your BACK TO THE STONE AGE dusty bones in some killer-cat’s lair and a ghost voice your only answer? PROLOGUE HE tale of the pioneer flight of the giant Zeppe - Tlin O-220 has already been told. In the Log Book of Great Adventures, written deep in red, have been inscribed the perils and privations, the victories and defeats, of those gallant companions from this land of ours who braved the mysteries of Pellucidar. Pellucidar — mocked by smug scientists who blind themselves to the proofs that our Earth is a hollow sphere, containing a habitable world within its interior! Pellucidar — scorned and derided by timid savants who fear to see beyond their own knotted brows, scoffing that here is no great opening at the frozen poles, that only two plus two makes four! But there were men of broader vision, of deeper un - derstanding, in that prize crew of the Zeppelin O-220; One was a tall man with mighty shoulders who walked with a cat’s soft tread; as Lord Greystoke he was known in London, though the creatures of the tropic wild called him Tarzan of the Apes. A second was Jason Gridley, the American explorer who financed the expedition.

SIMOSON King College Bristol, TN 37620 [email protected] Imaginebeing beamedinto a chamberdeep withinthe Earth,such as depictedin the JulesVerne cavern of FIGURE1. Is the accelerationdue to gravitystronger or weaker in the chamberthan at the surfaceof the Earth?If the readeris hesitantin answering immediately,here's how LeonardEuler answered the questionin 1760 [3, volume I, LetterL, p. 182]: We are certain ... that gravity ... acts with the greatest force at the surface of the earth, and is diminished in proportion as it removesfrom thence, whether by penetrating towards the centre or rising above the surface of the globe. Figure1 Frontispiecefor Verne's1871 publication of Journeyto the Centerof the Earth, 100 miles below Iceland To answer this question, we consider various models of the Earth's structure that have been proposed over the years. We show that ? for homogeneouslydense planets-Euler's implicitmodel-gravity weakenswith descentfrom the surface; ? for a planetpossessing a homogeneousmantle that is less than 2/3 as dense as its core, a local minimumfor gravityintensity exists withina sufficientlythick mantle; ? for our own Earth,having a solid innercore, a less dense liquidouter core, and an extensiveeven less densemantle, gravity intensifies with descentfrom -9.8 m/s2 at the surfaceto an extremeof -10.8 m/s2 wherethe mantlemeets the core. We also give a conditioninvolving only surfacedensity and mean density that deter- mineswhether gravity increases or decreaseswith depthfrom the surfaceof a planet; and we concludewith an analysisof a body falling througha classicallyenvisioned hole through the Earth. 336 MATHEMATICSMAGAZINE Some preliminary classical mechanics To find the gravitational acceleration induced by the Earth on a particularpoint P, we follow Newton and first find the gravitational acceleration induced by each point of the Earth on P, and then take the aggregate of these accelerations as the total acceleration induced by the Earth.

    CONTACTING THE WORLDS OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS Avatar and Burroughs Bill Hillman’s ERBZINE #3038 covers this subject extremely well by reproducing Michael Sellers’ “Avatar and ERB,” illus- trated with 18 excellent photographs, so we hope you will get a chance to view this at: http://www.erbzine.com/mag30/3038. html. To sum up, James Cameron’s Avatar seems to follow the themes of ERB’s John Carter of Mars where a heroic human male is thrust alone into an alien world. Film maker and critic Michael D. Sellers (a friend of Danton Burroughs) reports that Cameron had Burroughs in mind when he created Avatar, observing: “What was ERB-like was the creation of a complete world with detailed flora and fauna and an indigenous culture that was well thought out and presented in detail that made me think of Burroughs.” Avatar’s hero is “a male warrior in an exotic, alien land, overcoming physical challenges and confront- ing the fears of difference...The biggest similarity for me was the one thing that Burroughs did better than anyone else, and that is to create a world that feels complete. Barsoom became real in my mind...I could have drawn a map of the planet; I could write the history; I even tried playing Jetan; even today, decades after reading the books, I remember the names of the creatures...banth, thoat, calot, orluk, sith. The vividness with which Burroughs created Barsoom, Amtor, Caspak, Pellucidar, and Tarzan’s jungle has been captured for the first time cinematically. And that means the experience of viewing Avatar is every bit as immersive and satisfying as was the experience of reading Burroughs tales and getting lost in the worlds he created.” This is a high-tech film which im- presses ordinary viewers as well as confirmed sci-fi fanatics.

On his return he discovers among many burned bodies one that appears to be the corpse of his wife, Jane Porter Clayton. But in this book, written after WWI , but taking a point at the start of the war as its focus -- at the beginning of the book, Tarzan, AKA Lord Greystoke, has just learned that hostilities between Britain and Germany now exist -- the book presents the Germans as harshly as the propaganda against Germany published during the war, when Ge This is the most amazing book.
