PREFACE. THE uneventful life of a pastor and scholar does not generally furnish much material for biography. In Dr. Eadie's case there is a more than usual lack of incident. He never removed from the city where he began his ministry, and he did not connect his name with the controversies of his time. He kept no jour­ nal, and he seldom wrote a letter which extended beyond the limits of a hurried business note. It was, nevertheless, believed by those who knew him best, that if the story of his quiet and laborious life could be simply told, the record would be neither uninter­ esting nor unprofitable. In arranging the material at his disposal, the author has not followed strictly the chronological order. Dr. Eadie wrought simultaneously in three distinct spheres of labour, and it seemed more convenient to treat X PREFACE. separately of his pastorate, his professorship, and his literary work; but; at t~e same time, care has been takei'.i to trace clearly the line of his personal history. The author returns his heartfelt thanks to all who have aided him in his work. He is under special obligation to Mrs. Eadie for much kind assistance and encouragement. He is deeply indebted to the authorH of interesting contributions which will be found in their appropriate places ; to several members of the New Testament Revision Company, not only for leave to make use of letters, but also for valuable informa­ tion and advice; to friends in Alva and in Cambridge Street and Lansdowne Churches, for assistance in col­ lecting the facts embodied in the chapters relating to Dr. Eadie's early life and his two pastorates; to all who have placed letters at his disposal; and to those who have given unwearied assistance in the work of revising proofs. The Photograph prefixed to this volume is by Mr. Fergus of Largs, to whom thanks are due for the use of the negative. ST. JAMES' MANSE, PAISLEY, 19th April, Jf,78. CONTENTS. CHAPTER I. BOYHOOD ..

JOHN EADIE was born at Alva, Stirlingshire, on the 9th of May, 1810. His native county is, alike geographically and historically, the very heart of Scotland. It is the meeting place of highland and lowland. The richest corn-land in the country lies along the foot of rugged hillR which rise abruptly from the plain. Rapid mountain streams, coming from highland lakes, through famous passes, have joip.ed to form the Forth, which sleeps through the Carse between sedgy banks, and with so little descent that it can only find its way to the sea by interminable windings, compelling the traveller A 2 ALVA. by water to pass over twenty miles in going be­ tween places only five miles apart. The plain through which the river winds is the great battle­ field of Scotland. The most famous fights in Scottish history-those of them, at least, of which Scotchmen like best to speak-were fought either on or near this Carse of Stirling. In the most picturesque of many sunny nooks at the foot of the Ochils, where the lowland richness touches the hills, the village of Alva has gradually gathered itself around two little streams that have cut their way down the wooded hillside, cleaving it into glens that in a less mountainous country tourists would go far to see.

Cornelison, Ph.D. ________________________________ Stephen H. Goddard, Ph.D. ________________________________ Amy McNair, Ph.D. ________________________________ William D. Keel, Ph.D. Date Defended: 4/9/2013 The Dissertation Committee for Ellen O’Neil Rife certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE EXOTIC GIFT AND THE ART OF THE SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY DUTCH REPUBLIC ________________________________ Chairperson Linda Stone-Ferrier, Ph.D. Date approved: 4/9/2013 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the intersection between art and the gifting of exotic objects in the seventeenth-century United Provinces, directing attention to a special class of imagery visualizing the remarkable extent to which Europe’s first consumer culture became intertwined with foreign goods and influences. Its four chapters present representative case studies encompassing a range of media, including prints and paintings, and artistic genres, such as still life, portraiture, landscape, and allegory, from the mid- through the late- seventeenth century. These episodes of exotic gift exchange and their manifestation in art belonged to public and private spheres, the gifting of men and women, and multiple classes of society. In analyzing these images, my methodology draws on close readings; socioeconomic, historical, pictorial, and cultural contexts; gender; and issues in gift theory, including reciprocity, identity, personalization, and commodity/gift status, to explore the pictures’ meanings or functions for their audiences.

  • 6 D the Art of Improvisation Konitz Is One of the Most Astute and Eloquent
    6 D The Art of Improvisation Konitz is one of the most astute and eloquent commentators on the art of improvisation. In this chapter he states his artistic credo, offering one of the most extended accounts of the practice of improvisation by a jazz musician. Konitz is totally committed to “really improvising,” as he puts it, a commitment that he believes few jazz players share. In his daily routine of practicing, he prepares himself “to not be prepared.” His distinction between “real improvisers” and what he calls “prepared playing” may come from Tristano, who commented that “I can count on one hand the great improvisers. This kind of improvising you always hear about almost never happens.”1 Konitz contrasts his own intuitive approach with the more prepared playing or “professional per- formance” of Oscar Peterson or James Moody, who have a routine that wows the audience. He also describes a third approach between pre- pared playing and intuitive improvisation, the “compositional” approach of Charlie Parker or John Coltrane, which has a more speci‹c vocabulary. Using “compose” in a different sense, he explains how he intends to “really compose, and not just try to perfect what I know,” by which he means that he hopes to create an improvisation that stands up to analysis as a piece of music. Konitz is not denying that Parker and Coltrane are improvising. He is just saying that they adopt a different approach to improvising; with Moody and Peterson he would be more severe. I believe that Konitz’s approach, in avoiding licks and focusing on melody, is more purely or more “really” improvisational.

  • Negative Theatrics: Writing the Postdramatic Stage by Julia Jarcho
    Negative Theatrics: Writing the Postdramatic Stage By Julia Jarcho A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair Professor C. D. Blanton Professor Anthony J. Cascardi Spring 2013 Copyright © 2013 by Julia Jarcho All rights reserved. Negative Theatrics: Writing the Postdramatic Stage by Julia Jarcho Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric University of California, Berkeley Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair “We must get rid of our superstitious valuation of text!” Antonin Artaud’s disdain still echoes in an ongoing theoretical discussion: what role, if any, should writing be understood to play in theatrical performance? Current theater scholarship, in both German postdramatic theory and American drama studies, tends to promote a paradigm wherein actual performance inherently exceeds or surpasses any text it puts to use. Despite its great appeal, this model threatens to obscure the ways writing can, so to speak, produce its own theater: both by simulating the dimensions of theatrical experience and by constituting an alternative site that undermines the totality of performance’s here-and-now. The modernist works analyzed here construct theater as a medium whose heightened exposure to the present provokes an equally heightened contestation of that present. In these texts, theatricality becomes a negative relation to the actual. More concerned with formal experimentation than with suspenseful storytelling, these works can benefit from the “postdramatic” critical framework that has developed in theater studies during the past two decades. Yet postdramatic discourse frequently identifies the postdramatic departure from storytelling with a liberation from the “dominance” of the script.

The uneventful life of a pastor and scholar does not generally furnish much material for biography. In Dr. Eadie's case there is a more than usual lack of incident. He never removed from the city where he began his ministry, and he did not connect his name with the controversies of his time. He kept no jour- nal, and he seldom wrote a letter which extended beyond the limits of a hurried business note. It was, nevertheless, believed by those who knew him best, that if the story of his quiet and laborious life could be simply told, the record would be neither uninter- esting nor unprofitable. In arranging the material at his disposal, the author has not followed strictly the chronological order. Dr. Eadie wrought simultaneously in three distinct spheres of labour, and it seemed more convenient to treat X PEEFACE. separately of his pastorate, his professorship, and his literary work ; but, at the same time, care has been taken to trace clearly the line of his personal history.
