  • Louis Leslie Thesis Without Copyright Images
    ‘Writing Consciously for a Small Audience’: An Exploration of the Relationship between American Magazine Culture and Henry James’ Italian Fiction 1870-1875 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Louis Laurence Leslie ! UCL ! ! PhD P2 ! ! I, Louis Laurence Leslie, conSirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been deriVed from other sources, I can conSirm that this has !been indicated in the thesis. P3 ! Thesis Abstract ! This thesis explores Henry James’ engagement in his relatiVely neglected early Siction about Italy with material from contemporary magazine culture. By bridging the gap between critics who focus on James’ relationship with Italian culture, and those who examine James’ relationship with his publishers and audience, it aims to explore how he uses interest in Italy manifested in literary magazines to deVelop his writing and build his reputation. The Sirst part of the thesis explores how James writes about Italian culture in his Sirst tales in ways with which his audience would be familiar, in order to cultiVate his readership. The Sirst three chapters deal with ‘TraVelling Companions’ (1870), ‘At Isella’ (1871), and ‘The Madonna of the Future’ (1873) respectiVely. Looking at how magazines represent contemporary debates about the Italian artists and works of art that James depicts, I study the way James draws on this context to !emphasise the relationship between culture and character in his Siction. The second half examines his Siction after 1873 in the light of James’ sense of his emerging literary reputation. Aware of his growing fame, James began to write tales incorporating material from his own serialised traVel writing, thus reinforcing his reputation as a writer about Italy.

HAWKES OUR LADY OF VICTORIES Civic monuments, erected in memory of famous people or events, also symbolize the ideals and aspirations of the society which builds them. Nowhere is this more true than in Victorian America, which became the home of what T. H. Bartlett, late nineteenth-century art critic, described as “the ghastliest army of forms and effigies called soldiers monuments, that has ever inflicted [sic] a people since the earth was made.”1 A well-established social code, a renewal of patriotism and a growing asthetic self-consciousness interacted with a booming economy in the post-Civil War period. The result was a proliferation of statuary and architecture commemorating America’s solidarity through the events and personages of the Great War of the Rebellion. This created, in turn, a new profession, attracting men and women able to interpret the society’s ideals into tangible yet artistic symbols.

  • The National Capitol
    196 The National Capitol foot is a bronze bust by Vincenti of the Chippewa Chief, Beeshekee, the Buffalo.On the walls above the landing is the popular picture known as "Westward the Course of Empire takes its Way." It is the work of the genial German-born artists Emanuel Leutze, an historical painter of some distinc- tion, and its title is a quotation from Bishop Berkeley.The scene is a pano- rama, impossible in extent, of western country.In the foreground are depicted the struggles and privations of an early wagon-train crossing a pass in the Rocky Mountains.Beyond are spouting geysers, grand cafions and the El Dorado, stretching like a mirage of hope before the eyes of the weary travelers.The view is truly an inspiring one. In the fanciful border to the right, the artist has placed a portrait of Daniel Boone and, beneath it, the appropriate quotation from Jonathan M. Sewall's Ej5ilogue /0 Cab: "The spirit moves with its allotted spaces, The mind is narrowed in a narrow sphere." The corresponding portrait, worked into the border upon the left, is that of Captain William Clarke,whose pioneer story is so fascinatingly told by Wash- ington Irving.Its quotation also is from Sewall: No pent-up Utica contracts our powers, But the whole boundless continent is ours." In the long narrow border beneath is seen the Golden Gate, the entrance to the harbor of San Francisco. We owe the picture in great part to General Meigs, who took the respon- sibility of contracting for it with the artist and who, for his pains, received at the time much criticism on the score of extravagance.

  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Bi-Monthly by the State Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XIII Denver, Colorado, September, 1936 No. 5 The First Successful Smelter m Colorado JESSE D. HALE* The names and lives of four men are intimately connected with the establi::;hment of the first successful smelting operations in Colorado-Nathaniel P. Hill, Richard Pearce, Henry R. Wol­ cott, and Hermann Baeger. Mr. Hill was a Professor of Chemistry in Brown University at Providence, Rhode Island, in the early 1860s and had won the confidence of a group of wealthy manufacturers in that locality by solving some of their chemical problems :for them. In 1864 a group of them sent him to Colorado to examine a tract of land in the San Luis Valley with a view to purchase and development. He came to Colorado, crossing the plains by stage coach from the Missouri River to Denver, went south with a party, examined the land in question, and reported unfavorably. Returning to Denver, he met many of the miners from the Gilpin County dis­ trict, who were always coming to Denver, and he became inter­ ested in a problem which they had to offer. All of the early lode mining from its commencement in the late '50s up to that time had been upon surface or decomposed ores; the gold contents, being free milling, had been treated in stamp mills for several years. As they went deeper the character of the ore changed to sulphides, which were not amenable to stamp mill treatment and the miners were sore pressed as to what to do with the new material encountered.

Every day here, history is made and preserved for future generations. Nothing better embodies this idea than the National Statuary Hall Collection. These statues of our heroes and pioneers, carefully chosen by each state, tell the story of our past and inspire us as we build our future. Everyone has his or her favorite statues. Mine include Norman Borlaug of Iowa, the scientist known as ”the man who saved a billion lives.” There’s also Jeannette Rankin of Montana, the first woman ever elected to Congress. And there’s “Fighting Bob” La Follette of my home state of Wisconsin, whose statue I pass every day on the way to my office. This collection started in our old House Chamber; now it spans the whole building.

    ADOLF JONSSON'S 1924 BUST OF EMANUEL SWEDENBORG SWEDENBORG IN LINCOLN PARK: ADOLF JONSSON’S 1924 BUST OF EMANUEL SWEDENBORG AND ITS SCULPTURAL ANTECEDENTS Ed Gyllenhaal* n the spring of 2013, a larger-than-life bronze bust of Emanuel I Swedenborg was placed atop a granite pedestal in Lincoln Park, Chi- cago, Illinois (Fig. 1). The original bust, made by the Swedish sculptor Adolf Jonsson (1872–1945), had been unveiled in the park with consider- able fanfare in 1924. Unfortunately, in 1976 it was stolen and never recov- ered. The bronze bust that was reinstalled in Lincoln Park in 2013 was recast from the original plaster model, which had been stored for many years in the attic of the Swedenborg Memorial Church in Stockholm, Sweden. The plaster model had been painstakingly restored in 2010 by Stockholm sculptor Magnus Persson and shipped to a foundry in Estonia, where it was used to create the second bronze version. After the casting of the second bust was complete, the plaster model was repaired again, painted to resemble bronze, and gifted to the Swedenborg Library in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, by the New Church Society in Stockholm. The remarkable story of how Jonsson’s portrait sculpture of Swedenborg came to be made, installed in Lincoln Park, stolen, and recast is one of artistic inspiration, serendipity, and the power of the Internet.1 John Eckstein Adolf Jonsson was not the first artist to attempt a sculptural likeness of Emanuel Swedenborg. The earliest full-size portrait bust of Swedenborg seems to have been made by John (originally Johann) Eckstein (1735– 1817).
