  • Lillian Wald (1867 - 1940)
    Lillian Wald (1867 - 1940) Nursing is love in action, and there is no finer manifestation of it than the care of the poor and disabled in their own homes Lillian D. Wald was a nurse, social worker, public health official, teacher, author, editor, publisher, women's rights activist, and the founder of American community nursing. Her unselfish devotion to humanity is recognized around the world and her visionary programs have been widely copied everywhere. She was born on March 10, 1867, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the third of four children born to Max and Minnie Schwartz Wald. The family moved to Rochester, New York, and Wald received her education in private schools there. Her grandparents on both sides were Jewish scholars and rabbis; one of them, grandfather Schwartz, lived with the family for several years and had a great influence on young Lillian. She was a bright student, completing high school when she was only 15. Wald decided to travel, and for six years she toured the globe and during this time she worked briefly as a newspaper reporter. In 1889, she met a young nurse who impressed Wald so much that she decided to study nursing at New York City Hospital. She graduated and, at the age of 22, entered Women's Medical College studying to become a doctor. At the same time, she volunteered to provide nursing services to the immigrants and the poor living on New York's Lower East Side. Visiting pregnant women, the elderly, and the disabled in their homes, Wald came to the conclusion that there was a crisis in need of immediate redress.

  • 1 Balz Engler Poetry and Performance: the Case of Vachel Lindsay The
    1 Balz Engler, “Poetry and Performance: The Case of Vachel Lindsay”. Anglistentag 1982 Zürich: Vorträge. Ed. Udo Fries and Jörg Hasler. Giessen: Hoffmann, 345-58 Balz Engler Poetry and Performance: The Case of Vachel Lindsay The power of print over literary criticism is still so great that all the verbal arts, with the partial exception of drama, are commonly considered in terms of reading -- the silent interaction between a fixed text and an individual. The power of print has been so strong that it has even affected what is left of the art of performing poetry. It has given us the poetry reading, in which the book is the central object, placed between reader and audience. It has given us the reader who speaks with a flat intonation, almost monotonously, and who avoids eye contact with his audience; and it has also given us listeners who turn their glance inwards, sitting motionless, individuals in medita- tion. This, one might say, is the closest the performance of poetry can get to becoming an imitation of reading a book. Under these circumstances, other types of performance, including singing, gesturing and audience participation, have remained an embarrassing Problem to critics, one that can best be dealt with by excluding them from the realm of literature. The reception of Vachel Lindsay is a case in point. T.S. Eliot found him "impossible" after hearing him perform (Perkins 353), and Ezra Pound, who acknowledged his originality, criticized the craftsmanship of his poetry: "Believe 'me one can write it by the hour as fast as one scribbles." (54) Already during his lifetime Lindsay found it difficult to be taken seriously by students of literature, as Henry Seidel Canby's report on a performance at Yale indicates: The nice boys from the ivory towers of the best schools and the Gothic dormitories of Yale tittered at first.

(August 2006) Evert Villarreal, B.A., The University of Texas-Pan American; M.A., The University of Texas-Pan American Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. William Bedford Clark Chapter I of this study is an attempt to articulate and understand the factors that have contributed to Carl Sandburg’s declining trajectory, which has led to a reputation that has diminished significantly in the twentieth century. I note that from the outset of his long career of publication – running from 1904 to 1963 – Sandburg was a literary outsider despite (and sometimes because of) his great public popularity though he enjoyed a national reputation from the early 1920s onward. Chapter II clarifies how Carl Sandburg, in various ways, was attempting to re- invent or re-construct American literature.
