Ways and Byways of American Culture: Essays in Honor of Gustav H. Blanke, Frankfurt am Main, Bern, New York, Paris: Peter Lang, 1989. Translated by Walter Grünzweig and reprinted with kind permission of Peter Lang Verlag.] One of the literary historiographers’ favorite myths is that time will make a meaningful selection from the piles of books published. Frequently, however, posterity misses out on an aesthetic experience; even more frequently, a historical context is distorted by the loss. Since Eduard Bertz (1853-1931) has not left a literary oeuvre worthy of his talents, the judgment already made by history might be taken to be well-founded. The fact that he has fallen into oblivion has nonetheless proved damaging, because Bertz is one of the important mediators between national literatures about whom we should know more. While alleged original geniuses in established literary genres offer their products so successfully that posterity feels obliged to take note of them, mediators are too often ignored by literary historiography.

  • Canadian Rail No295 1976
    Rail No.295 August 1976 Steam Hauled I Silk Trains • Jean-G. Cote arly in the Twentieth Century, the fastest trains on the North American continent were the prestige "Silk ESpecials" speeding bales of raw silk from Pacific Coast ports to spinning and weaving mills in the Chicago and New York areas. Before synthetic fibres like rayon and nylon were invented, silk was the luxury fabric. The baled raw silk fibre had to be delivered as quickly as possible, to minimize the high daily insur­ ance on this precious and perishable commodity. Silk from the Orient always held a magic attraction for Euro­ peans, both male and female, although the story of the silk trade goes further back in history. The Chinese first discovered the silk- worm spinning its cocoon of "wild silk" many centuries ago. They established its culture as an industry and silk cloth was used as currency, as well as a luxury fabric which they bartered with wan­ dering traders allover Asia, until the Phoenician, Greek and Roman sea and land wayfarers ventured to India and the silk and spice mar­ kets of the East Indies, China and Cipangu (Japan). Marco Polo's Thirteenth Century travels over the "Silk Road", through Iran, Turkestan and Thibet resulted in the extension of the silk trade via that overland route during the Middle Ages to Byzan­ tium (Constantinople), Greece and Rome, thence into western Europe, as urbanization and industrialization displaced warfare. The kings of france encouraged a silk-worm industry at Lyon in the Rhone River valley and this became the silk centre of Europe, finally eliminating competition from Italy.

  • The Challenge of Navigation to Hydrography on the British Columbia Coast, 1850-1930
    The Challenge of Navigation to Hydrography on the British Columbia Coast, 1850-1930 William Glover James Cook and George Vancouver are famous, among other things, for the accuracy and precision of their charts. Their less well-known successors employed to survey the British Columbia coast worked hard to maintain the same high standard. By comparison, the common practice of navigation was sadly lacking. In 1836, for example, the Select Committee on Shipwrecks found that masters' incompetence at navigation was responsible for most British shipwrecks.1 At first glance, then, it would seem impossible that navigation practised so poorly could present a challenge to the work of the hydrographer, who had justly acquired an excellent reputation. Nonetheless, between about 1850 and 1930 this is exactly what occurred. The challenge is particularly evident in the coastal trade and hydrographie surveying of the pilotage waters along the BC coast. The challenge had several related aspects, all products of new technology. First, improvements to the compass by Sir William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) made possible an unprecedented level of accuracy in taking visual bearings to determine position and to steer a more precise course. Second, the change from sail to steam meant that trade routes changed since ships no longer had to favour the middle of the channel; the improved compass made it safer to shape the course closer to land. Third, on the BC coast the advent of steam was necessary for economic expansion and development of previously unsettled areas. To meet the changing needs of the navigator, charts suitable for sailing ships had to be replaced and new routes surveyed.
