  • 'They Made Gullah': Modernist Primitivists and The
    “ ‘They Made Gullah’: Modernist Primitivists and the Discovery and Creation of Sapelo Island, Georgia’s Gullah Community, 1915-1991” By Melissa L. Cooper A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History written under the direction of Dr. Mia Bay and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2012 2012 Melissa L. Cooper ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “ ‘They Made Gullah’: Modernist Primitivists and the Discovery and Creation of Sapelo Island, Georgia’s Gullah Community, 1915-1991” by Melissa L. Cooper Dissertation Director: Dr. Mia Bay ABSTRACT: The history of Sapelo Islanders in published works reveals a complex cast of characters, each one working through ideas about racial distinction and inheritance; African culture and spirituality; and the legacy of slavery during the most turbulent years in America’s race-making history. Feuding social scientists, adventure seeking journalists, amateur folklorists, and other writers, initiated and shaped the perception of Sapelo Islanders’ distinct connection to Africa during the 1920s and 1930s, and labeled them “Gullah.” These researchers characterized the “Gullah,” as being uniquely connected to their African past, and as a population among whom African “survivals” were readily observable. This dissertation argues that the popular view of Sapelo Islanders’ “uniqueness” was the product of changing formulations about race and racial distinction in America. Consequently, the “discovery” of Sapelo Island’s Gullah folk was more a sign of times than an anthropological discovery. This dissertation interrogates the intellectual motives of the researchers and writers who have explored Sapelo Islanders in their works, and argues that the advent of American Modernism, the development of new social scientific theories and popular cultural works during the 1920s and 1930s, and other trends shaped their depictions.

  • Appendix B: a Literary Heritage I
    Appendix B: A Literary Heritage I. Suggested Authors, Illustrators, and Works from the Ancient World to the Late Twentieth Century All American students should acquire knowledge of a range of literary works reflecting a common literary heritage that goes back thousands of years to the ancient world. In addition, all students should become familiar with some of the outstanding works in the rich body of literature that is their particular heritage in the English- speaking world, which includes the first literature in the world created just for children, whose authors viewed childhood as a special period in life. The suggestions below constitute a core list of those authors, illustrators, or works that comprise the literary and intellectual capital drawn on by those in this country or elsewhere who write in English, whether for novels, poems, nonfiction, newspapers, or public speeches. The next section of this document contains a second list of suggested contemporary authors and illustrators—including the many excellent writers and illustrators of children’s books of recent years—and highlights authors and works from around the world. In planning a curriculum, it is important to balance depth with breadth. As teachers in schools and districts work with this curriculum Framework to develop literature units, they will often combine literary and informational works from the two lists into thematic units. Exemplary curriculum is always evolving—we urge districts to take initiative to create programs meeting the needs of their students. The lists of suggested authors, illustrators, and works are organized by grade clusters: pre-K–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 9– 12.

  • Willa Cather's Modern Sentimentalism
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Modern Sentimentalism: Feeling, Femininity, and Female Authorship in Interwar America A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Lisa Anne Mendelman 2015 © Copyright by Lisa Anne Mendelman 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Modern Sentimentalism: Feeling, Femininity, and Female Authorship in Interwar America by Lisa Anne Mendelman Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Michael A. North, Chair “Modern Sentimentalism” chronicles the myriad ways in which sentimentalism evolves as modernism emerges. I demonstrate that sentimental aesthetics are more complex than we have thought and that these aesthetics participate in modern literary innovation. I likewise demonstrate that modernity, and the American interwar period in particular, enjoys a more complex relation to the sentimental than we have understood, and that twentieth-century constructs of gender and emotion equally revise and restyle sentimental precedent. Finally, I demonstrate that, when it comes to analyzing historical cultures of feeling, contemporary theories of affect have much to gain from archival methods. Synthesizing these claims, I identify a new form of feeling in modern aesthetic experience. Neither an idealized lapse into the past nor a naïve vision of the future, what I call “modern sentimentalism” most often registers the ironic consciousness of an enduring sentimental impulse. ii “Modern Sentimentalism” thus overturns

  • Writings: Speech on Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Version 3
    Let us begin with Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. In 1928, Marjorie and her husband Charles Rawlings had been working as journalist in New York for the Rochester Journal American, yet both felt unfulfilled by their careers. She often stated a wish to be recognized as a writer, yet for all her submissions of short stories and poetry she had received only rejection notices. The opportunity of a Florida vacation resulted from Charles' brothers Jimmy and Wray working in Florida. A much needed vacation, for the marriage had not been going well for these two. A sea voyage on the Clyde Line from New York to Jacksonville was planned. Perhaps it was as far back as 1928 that MKR's life and mine began to move closer to each other. For you see my mother used to take that same Clyde Line from New York to Jacksonville, and I have often wondered if she and Marjorie had shared a moment on that March trip. However, I'll never know. At first Marjorie and Charles were surprised to find that the brothers lived not on the fabulous beaches of the Florida Gold Coast but in the rural scrub area of north central Florida. Once they saw the area of pine islands, of palm trees and lakes and sink holes they were enchanted (that was Marjorie's work for Central Florida). As described by Elizabeth Silverthorne in her book (Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Sojourner at Cross Creek): "Here they saw sparkling fountains arising from underground limestone springs as described by early American Naturalist William Bartram." Samuel Taylor Coleridge used Bartram's description for the sacred River Alph in his poem Kubla Kahn.
