Hartford’s range of historical and cultural sites is the focus of our local events, including: discounted tickets to the Mark Twain House, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, and the Wadsworth Atheneum; a Wallace Stevens walk led by a member of the Stevens Society; and a group rate to Romeo and Juliet on the Hartford Stage. Our Opening and Keynote speakers embody NeMLA 2016’s emphasis on the public humanities. Opening reader Monique Truong, whose talk “Writing Plenty, Writing Hunger” will be held on Thursday at 7 PM at the Convention Center, is an acclaimed novelist, essayist, and editor. Keynote speaker Dr. William Jelani Cobb, whose address will be held on Friday at 7 PM at the Mark Twain House, is a preeminent public scholar, as well as Professor of History and Director of the Africana Studies Institute at the University of Connecticut. These promise to be cannot- miss events, so make sure to visit the registration table to pre-register! The 2016 Convention features many new initiatives. Sponsored by the Creative Writing Area, a series of Flash Readings will provide brief but incisive introductions to the work of practicing writers in the NeMLA community. One session will be an open reading: any NeMLA attendee may come to read, on a first-come first-served basis. Novelists Carole Maso and Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel headline our first “Meet the Author” sessions. And two series of Presidential Sessions highlight key convention themes: on Friday at the Twain House, the series focuses on the public humanities, leading up to a session on “Scholarship after Ferguson,” to which Dr. Cobb will respond; and on Saturday at the Convention Center, the series focuses on academic labor, leading up to our CAITY Caucus event on adjunct unionization. Thanks to Dr. Cobb, the Twain House, and all the participants in these important events! Once again our Areas and Caucuses are offering a wide range of Special Events. The Fifth Annual Shakespeare’s Sister Mentoring Breakfast, sponsored by the Women’s and Gender Studies Caucus, will be held on Saturday at 8 AM. The Creative Writing Area and Modern Language Studies will host their annual Creative Writers and Editors’ Reception on Saturday at 6:15 PM, preceding Carole Maso’s Meet-the-Author session. The Anglophone and American Areas are co-sponsoring a reading by Iranian-American author Porochista Khakpour on Saturday at 11:45 AM. For more information on these and other Special Events, including those like Khakpour’s reading that require pre-registration, see the descriptions in this program! 6 Almost all of these events and receptions, including those requiring pre- registration, are available to conference registrants for free. In addition, members can enroll in a number of interactive small-group workshops in culture and media studies, women’s and gender studies, graduate student concerns, and digital humanities. We will once again be offering a free CV clinic at the convention. And our free membership business brunch meeting on Sunday will conclude the convention and include information on next year’s convention in Baltimore. Thanks so much to the University of Connecticut, our local host, for all their efforts, including securing guest speakers and setting up special events. Thanks in particular to Dean Shirley Roe, Professors Cathy Schlund-Vials and Robert Hasenfratz, and graduate student liaisons Emma Burris-Janssen and Sarah Moon. And huge thanks to the entire NeMLA staff, to past presidents Daniela Antonucci and Ellen Dolgin, and to the entire NeMLA Board! All our staff and board members will be at the convention and are eager to meet with you to address any concerns. Finally, please stay involved in NeMLA by proposing a session for the 2017 Baltimore convention before the April 29, 2016, deadline. NeMLA is one of the most supportive and collegial scholarly communities we have encountered, and the more voices are added to the conversation, the stronger we will be in the years to come!

Architecture of the Millennium: Catharine Beecher, Domestic Economy, and Social Reform Abstract This article discusses Catherine Beecher's ideas about how women, as the Christian moral center and teachers, could reform American society. She put homemakers at a center of power, since she believed that they would be able to not only teach children to become true Christian citizens, but reform men as well.

    Sight & Sound Films of 2007

    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more.

    Harriet Beecher Stowe's Multifaceted Response to the Nineteenth

    Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Multifaceted Response to the Nineteenth-Century Woman Question amy easton-flake Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/tneq/article-pdf/86/1/29/1793865/tneq_a_00256.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 N the decade following the American Civil War, the I renowned children of Lyman Beecher each took his or her own position along the broad spectrum of debate con- cerning woman suffrage. Henry Ward Beecher served as the first president of the American Woman Suffrage Association (estab. 1869); Isabella Beecher Hooker worked closely with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in the National Woman Suffrage Association (estab. 1869); Catharine Beecher helped found the first female-led antisuffrage association, the Anti-Sixteenth Amendment Society (estab. 1870); and Harriet Beecher Stowe, despite pressure from her siblings and other movement leaders and an obvious interest in the issue, re- mained aloof from all organized groups. In the absence of any definitive statement from her, each faction claimed her as an advocate. Between 1870 and 1871, for example, each organi- zation’s journal either listed Stowe as a contributor or quoted from her writings.1 In recent years, literary critics Josephine Donovan and Bar- bara A. White have investigated Stowe’s relation to suffrage 1Stanton listed both Isabella Beecher Hooker and Harriet Beecher Stowe as “prin- cipal contributors” (p. 397)inthe23 December 1869 Revolution, organ of the National Woman Suffrage Association, although Stowe never contributed a single piece of writ- ing to it. Stowe did contribute numerous pieces to the Woman’s Journal. For instance, she praised the Woman’s Journal for its “conservative religious tone” and for not fol- lowing George Sand and the French Woman’s movement (3 September 1870,p.273).

    Issue 66 - March 2017 Editorial

    THE TIGRESS! Commander Maria Leont’evna Bochkarëva THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 66 - MARCH 2017 EDITORIAL Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to the latest edition of “The Tiger”, rechristened “The Tigress” for this special ladies edition! Despite whiling away many a youthful hour under a candlewick bedspread listening to Radio Luxembourg 208, I don’t seem to have much time these days to listen to the radio but I noticed that, on 8th March, Radio 3 dedicated its whole day’s playlist, in recognition of their bold and diverse contribution to music, to female composers one of whom being Elisabeth Lutyens, daughter of architect Edwin. Why did the BBC decide to do this? It was to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD). I was reminded of the impending IWD last month when researching the remarkable exploits of Russian women in 1917 without whom the revolution may not have occurred exactly as it did 100 years ago. Their story will be recounted later in this Newsletter . The month of March itself could even be described as “Ladies Month” since its very flower, the daffodil, is also known as the birth flower, and its 31 days contain not only IWD (8th) but Lady Day or Annunciation Day (25th) and Mothering Sunday (26th). Militarily, of course, March was named after Mars, the Roman god of war whose month was Martius and from where originated the word martial. Another definition of March is “walk in a military manner with a regular measured tread”, a meaning which countless troops over the centuries learned as part of their basic training.

    Roditi, Edouard (1910-1992) by John McFarland Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Poet, translator, literary and art critic, and short story writer, Edouard Roditi was associated with most of the twentieth-century's avant-garde literary movements from Surrealism to post-modernism. For more than sixty years, he produced such an astonishing variety of smart, lively, and moving poetry and prose that nobody objected when he dubbed himself "The Pharaoh of Eclecticism." A member of several predominantly homosexual social circles, Roditi maintained friendships with literary and artistic figures ranging from Paul Bowles and Jean Cocteau to Paul Tchelitchew and Christian Dior. His art and literary criticism held artists and writers to the very highest standards and insisted that intense but uncritical infatuation with flashy new trends could end in disappointment and heartbreak. His Internationalist Birthright Roditi was born in Paris on June 6, 1910. He was the beneficiary of a remarkably rich confluence of heritages--Jewish, German, Italian, French, Spanish, and Greek--and was truly international, both American and European. His father, Oscar, an Italian born in Constantinople, had become a United States citizen after his father emigrated to America and gained citizenship. Although Oscar's father had left the family behind in Europe, all the family in Europe became citizens when he did by virtue of the citizenship statutes in force at that time. Roditi's mother, Violet, had an equally rich family history. She was born in France but became an English citizen in her youth. When she married Oscar, she too became a United States citizen.

It has been deemed “ferocious,” “a death-defying linguistic tightrope act,” and a combination of “dark and spiky emotions” in reviews appearing in popular newspapers. Taking the considerable critical investment in the affective dimension of Ferrante’s work as a point of departure, my dissertation examines the representation of emotions in My Brilliant Friend and in two Italian novels written between the 1960s and the 1970s – La Storia (1974, History: A Novel) by Elsa Morante (1912-1985) and L’arte della gioia (The Art of Joy, 1998/2008) by Goliarda Sapienza (1924-1996).
