The special section in this volume contains two such items: a supplement to The Collected Early Verse and a transcription of an unpublished manuscript from Occidental College’s Jeffers collection. Robert Kafka has unearthed eight poems from Jeffers’s early years that have never before been collected. Four of the poems originally appeared in The Los Angeles Times, and the other four were included in correspondence or uncatalogued archival collec- tions. One manuscript was given to a one-time girlfriend, and we are happy to reproduce an image of it and a photo of the young lady, Vera Placida Gardner.

  • In 193X, Constance Rourke's Book American Humor Was Reviewed In
    OUR LIVELY ARTS: AMERICAN CULTURE AS THEATRICAL CULTURE, 1922-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Schlueter, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Professor Lesley Ferris Adviser Associate Professor Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Schlueter c. 2007 ABSTRACT In the first decades of the twentieth century, critics like H.L. Mencken and Van Wyck Brooks vociferously expounded a deep and profound disenchantment with American art and culture. At a time when American popular entertainments were expanding exponentially, and at a time when European high modernism was in full flower, American culture appeared to these critics to be at best a quagmire of philistinism and at worst an oxymoron. Today there is still general agreement that American arts “came of age” or “arrived” in the 1920s, thanks in part to this flogging criticism, but also because of the powerful influence of European modernism. Yet, this assessment was not, at the time, unanimous, and its conclusions should not, I argue, be taken as foregone. In this dissertation, I present crucial case studies of Constance Rourke (1885-1941) and Gilbert Seldes (1893-1970), two astute but understudied cultural critics who saw the same popular culture denigrated by Brooks or Mencken as vibrant evidence of exactly the modern American culture they were seeking. In their writings of the 1920s and 1930s, Rourke and Seldes argued that our “lively arts” (Seldes’ formulation) of performance—vaudeville, minstrelsy, burlesque, jazz, radio, and film—contained both the roots of our own unique culture as well as the seeds of a burgeoning modernism.

    Homes of Famous Carmelites ​ To see on Google Maps: https://bit.ly/2XBf0Lx ​ ​ Numbers in parentheses refer to the map in Creating Carmel by Ann and Harold Gilliam (1992), pgs. 66-67. ​ · Mary Hunter Austin House (24) – Miss Austin moved to Carmel around 1907, after her participation in the ​ ​ ​ legendary California Water Wars, and after living in the Mojave Desert for many years. An ardent feminist and human rights activist, the prolific poet, playwright and novelist built the serene and secluded “Rose Cottage” th located at 4 ​ Avenue and Monte Verde Street. It sits on a flat spot on top of a steeply sloped property down in ​ a gully, and there is a huge oak tree in front of it. Mary Austin did much of her writing in a tree house she called “Wick-i-up.” The cottage has extensive gardens and two gates with paths leading to it from each side of the intersection of Lincoln and Fourth. · George Sterling House (12) – The handsome poet known to his friends as “The King of Bohemia” built a ​ ​ ​ bungalow in the piney slopes above Carmel Mission, located on Torres Street. It is the third house south of 10th ​ Avenue on the east side. The poet’s home featured a large living room with an oversized fireplace made of stones Sterling had hauled from Carmel Valley. Friends and fellow artists such as Upton Sinclair, Jack London and James Hopper gathered here to carouse, organize beach parties and tell tales. The house is surrounded by a high wire fence. · Arnold Genthe House (32) – At the turn of the 20th century, Genthe’s photographs of San Francisco’s ​ ​ ​ society matrons and the denizens of Chinatown earned him a living but it was his record of the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake that made him famous.

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • Ambrose Bierce - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Ambrose Bierce - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Ambrose Bierce(24 June 1842 - 26 December 1913) Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist and satirist. Today, he is probably best-known for his short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and his satirical lexicon The Devil's Dictionary. His vehemence as a critic, his motto "Nothing matters" and the sardonic view of human nature that informed his work all earned him the nickname "Bitter Bierce". Despite his reputation as a searing critic, Bierce was known to encourage younger writers, including poet George Sterling and fiction writer W. C. Morrow. Bierce employed a distinctive style of writing, especially in his stories. His style often embraces an abrupt beginning, dark imagery, vague references to time, limited descriptions, impossible events and the theme of war. In 1913, Bierce traveled to Mexico to gain first-hand experience of the Mexican Revolution. While traveling with rebel troops, he disappeared without a trace. <b>Biography</b> Bierce was born at Horse Cave Creek in Meigs County, Ohio to Marcus Aurelius Bierce (1799–1876) and Laura Sherwood Bierce. His mother was a descendant of William Bradford. His parents were a poor but literary couple who instilled in him a deep love for books and writing. The boy grew up in Kosciusko County, Indiana, attending high school at the county seat, Warsaw. He was the tenth of thirteen children whose father gave all of them names beginning with the letter "A". In order of birth, the Bierce siblings were Abigail, Amelia, Ann, Addison, Aurelius, Augustus, Almeda, Andrew, Albert, Ambrose, Arthur, Adelia, and Aurelia.
