SCOTT FITZGERALD A Dissertation in English by Robert Russell Bleil © 2008 Robert Russell Bleil Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2008 ii The dissertation of Robert Russell Bleil was reviewed and approved* by the following: James L.

Scott Fitzgerald in St. Paul, Minnesota on January 4, 1915 there was instant chemistry between them. That night in her diary, Ginevra exclaimed, “Scott perfectly darling am dipped about.” For his part, Scott was equally smitten with Ginevra; although he was due back in Princeton immediately, Scott stayed over an extra day to spend more time with the brunette debutante from Chicago. Upon his return to Princeton, Scott immediately sent Ginevra a special delivery letter; according to the customs of the time, such a letter constituted Scott’s formal declaration that he was interested in pursuing a correspondence with Ginevra. A vivacious and fun- loving girl, Ginevra was no stranger to the importance of a “special delie” and the epistolary game was afoot.

    From Curtis Ken Curtis To Eleanor Eleanor Parker An exercise in Proximity and Happenstance by Clark N. Nelson, Sr. (May be updated periodically: Last update 06-07-20) 1 Prelude The quality within several photographs, in particular, those from the motion pictures ‘Untamed Women’, ‘Santa Fe Passage’, and ‘The King and Four Queens’, might possibly prove questionable, yet were included based upon dwindling sources and time capsule philosophy. Posters and scenes relevant to the motion picture ‘Only Angels Have Wings’ from 1939 are not applicable to my personal accounts, yet are included based upon the flying sequences above Washington County by renowned all-ratings stunt pilot Paul Mantz.

    Film Noir Classics -- Movie Posters 1948-1950

    FILM NOIR CLASSICS -- MOVIE POSTERS 1948-1950 The distinctive style of movies of the golden age of Film Noir, the genre of Hollywood crime dramas distinguished by liberal doses of sex and cynicism, is captured in the striking graphics of these classic movie posters. The portrait that emerges of a darker side of mid-twentieth century America makes them a compelling resource for the study of that period as well as for film history archives. The light-hearted Gary Cooper / Barbara Stanwyck comedy “Ball of Fire” of 1941 that we include at the end of this listing drives home this contrast…but no matter what, somebody is going to get burned… Clicking on the item picture will take you to our website for ordering via our secure online system. We hope that you will enjoy this selection. Elisabeth Burdon & Craig Clinton ____________________________________________________ Backfire. Warner Bros. Hollywood. 1948 - 1950. One-sheet color silk-screen poster, 40 x 30 inches, for the 1950 Warner Brothers production "Backfire" directed by Vincent Sherman and starring Gordon MacRae, Edmond O’Brien, and Virginia Mayo (the film was completed in late 1948 but not released until 1950). The poster, a scarce item and in very good condition, was produced by Western Poster Company, San Francisco. "Backfire," a complicated drama involving numerous flashbacks, concerns a World War II veteran Bob Corey (MacRae), a nurse he meets while hospitalized, Julie Benson (Mayo), and Corey's good friend Steve Connolly (O'Brien). After considerable mayhem as the drama unfolds, including a near fatal attempt on Connolly's life, the film delivers a happy ending with the trio heading for Bob and Julie's new ranch.

For a superb discussion of the voguish "difficulty" associated with the rise of modernist art, see Leonard Diepeveen, The Difficulties ofModernism (New York: Routledge, 2003),1-42. 5. There is a further irony that might be noted here: putting Joyce and Anderson on the same plane would soon be a good indicator of provin­ cialism. Fitzgerald could not have written this statement after his sojourn in France, and certainly not after encouraging his friend Ernest Hemingway's nasty parody, The Torrents of Spring (1926). Anderson may be one of the most notable casualties from the period of ambitious claimants, such as Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and William Faulkner, to a place within "the cultural world." 6.

"The principle of differentiation is none other than the objective and subjective distance of enterprises of cultural production with respect to the market and to expressed or tacit demand, with producers' strate­ gies distributing themselves between two extremes that are never, in fact, attained-either total and cynical subordination to demand or absolute independence from the market and its exigencies" (ibid., 141-42).
