Published in Student Journal of the Department of Anglophone Studies (Vol. 1, 2018) Of Gay Sinners and Grizzly Saints Fundamentalism in “The May-Pole of Merry Mount” CARINA KEWELOH1 Nathaniel Hawthorne’s stories often depict Puritans as superstitious, intolerant, patriarchal and oppressive, which led to the belief he held a negative attitude towards them. However, “The May-Pole of Merry Mount”2 suggests that this resentment is not specifically directed towards Puritans. Hawthorne’s short story rather exposes the dangers of fundamentalism in general. This essay scrutinizes both the portrayal of the community of Merry Mount and the Puritans in the short story to explore the features of fundamentalism they depict. Finally, the restricting and impairing effects of both fundamentalist communities will be assessed using the example of Edgar and Edith, the young couple at the center of Hawthorne’s tale.

EASTMAN NOTES JUNE 2004 Draft: Final Date: 6/15/2004 INSIDE
NOTES JUNE 2004 A MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI OF THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE EDITOR The right “stu≠” Dear Eastman Alumni: We like Notes’ new look, and it seems you do too. Response has been unani- mously favorable; perhaps we should consider a Steve Boerner–David Cowles NOTES presidential ticket for 2008. I’d vote for them; these two artists made “Notes Volume 22, Number 2 nouveau” a pleasure, and I’m glad the pleasure was conveyed in the magazine June 2004 itself. I write the stuff, but they (and our photographers) make it look good! We also had a tremendous response to our “Eastman Alumni on CD” feature; Editor see pages 33¬34. And enough of you commented on different editorial aspects of David Raymond Notes (not always favorably) that we have a “Letters to the Editor” section, which Assistant editor may be a ﬁrst for us. Christina Casey This issue of Notes is admittedly ﬁlled with history, but Susan Conkling’s re- Contributing writers minder of the great women who shaped both American music and Eastman, and Martial Bednar Amy Blum Paul Burgett’s reminder of four black composers who Christine Corrado played an important part in Eastman history, are stories Contributing photographers worth telling. As is the story of the success of Howard Kurt Brownell Hanson’s Merry Mount at the Met in 1934—a remarkable Gelfand-Piper Photography event, when you think about it. I should add a special Bob Klein Photography word of thanks here to David Peter Coppen, the Sibley Carlos Ortiz Don Ver Ploeg/VP Communications Library Archivist, who is always helpful with providing Amy Vetter historical photographs and other materials for Notes, but Photography coordinator outdid himself for these three articles.

Thomas Morton As America's First Behavioral Observer (In New England 1624-1646)
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society 1987, 25(1), (I}-,72 Thomas Morton as America's first behavioral observer (in New England 1624-1646) PHILIP HOWARD GRAY Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana As a falconer and lawyer in England, Thomas Morton was well trained to become the first be havioral observer in America. From his arrival in Massachusetts in 1624 to his forced removal in 1628 (he offended the Pilgrims by intercepting the beaver trade and offended the Puritans by refusing to accept their authority), he made many observations on the region's animals and Indians. These observations were collected in his book, published in 1637. Criticisms of Morton by the New England theocrats have been endlessly repeated by historians who fail to recognize Morton's value as an amateur psychologist and ethologist, and a very early one at that. Thomas Morton, gentleman, lawyer, sportsman, and tribes of William Bradford, who believed Morton to be pioneer settler in Massachusetts, lived among the Indians, guilty of everything from selling guns to the Indian men noted their manners and customs, hunted, traded, and to dancing around the maypole with Indian women, treat made friends with them. Equally important, Morton was ing the latter "most filthily" (Davis, 1908, p. 238). This an eager observer and cataloguer of the animals of the type of complaint is echoed by Adams (1892, p. 170), woods, skies, and sea. This information was collected dur who called Morton an old debauchee, tippler, and reck ing the first two decades of New England's colonization less libertine with neither morals nor religion, and An and set down in his New English Canaan or New Canaan, drews (1934), who extended Morton's presumed lack of published in Amsterdam in 1637 and readily available in morals to both conduct and thought.

Immaterial Monument Thomas Morton Three Times
IMMATERIAL MONUMENT for THOMAS MORTON attempted THREE TIMES • Ed Halter • 2015 I. ca. 1630-1650. William Bradford, Of Plimoth Plantation “After this they fell to great licenciousnes, and led a dissolute life, powering out them selves into all profanenes. And Morton became lord of misrule, and maintained (as it were) a schoole of Athisme. And after they had gott some good into their hands, and gott much by trading with ye Indeans, they spent it as vainly, in quaffing & drinking both wine & strong waters in great exsess, and, as some reported, 10li. worth in a morning. They allso set up a May-pole, drinking and dancing aboute it many days togeather, inviting the Indean women, for their consorts, dancing and frisking togither, (like so many fairies, or furies rather,) and worse practises. As if they had anew revived & celebrated the feasts of ye Roman Goddes Flora, or ye beasly practieses of ye madd Bacchinalians. Morton likwise (to shew his poetrie) compose sundry rimes & verses, tending to lasciviousness, and others to ye detraction & scandall of some persons, which he affixed to this idle or idoll May-polle. They chainged allso the name of their place, and in stead of calling it Mounte Wollaston, they call it Merie-mounte, as if this joylity would have lasted ever.” 1637 Thomas Morton, New English Canaan “The Inhabitants of Pasonagessit, (having translated the name of their habitation from that ancient Salvage name to Ma-re Mount, and being resolved to have the new name confirmed for a memorial to after ages,) did devise amongst themselves to have it performed in a solemne manner, with Revels and merriment after the old English custome; [they] prepared to sett up a Maypole upon the festivall day of Philip and Iacob, and therefore brewed a barrelll of excellent beare and provided a case of bottles, to be spent, with other good cheare, for all commers of that day.

From Hawthorne to History: The Mythologizing of John Endecott A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Abigail F. Davis IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Edward M. Griffin June 2009 copyright Abigail F. Davis 2009 i DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to Dr. Edward M. Griffin advisor, mentor, friend ii ABSTRACT Since the Revolutionary War, American historians, literary artists, and social commentators have undertaken a retroactive search for an acceptable myth of origin predating the Revolution. While the war itself has been endlessly and successfully deployed as a sterling founding moment, that claim alone has proved insufficient for several reasons. First, Americans have long been ambivalent about their pre-Revolution Puritan heritage. The new republic emerging from the revolutionary effort rested on ground previously inhabited by British colonists (and others) since the 1620s, but the colonial past did not readily speak to the feisty, independent, and distinctively AAmerican” self-image that mythologized during and after the war . Additionally, by the 19 th century, when the writing of New England history came prominently into vogue, quite a few pages of the Puritan chapter had become embarrassing. Something else was needed: an event earlier than the shot heard round the world in 1775, and a governing image more manly than the standard figure of the pious Puritans. When Nathaniel Hawthorne =s stories AEndicott and the Red Cross @ and AThe May- Pole of Merry Mount @ entered the nubile world of American literature in the 1830s, Hawthorne seemed to have answered that call.

OF MORTON, MERRYMOUNT, AND MAYPOLES by CHRISTOPHER MORS B. A., Lake Forest College, 1966 A MASTER'S REPORT submitted In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 1968 Major Profess LD ZiL? ii Msf1 C 2. TABLE OF CONTENTS OF MORTON, MERRYMOUNT, AND MAYPOLES 1 FOOTNOTES 40 BIBLIOGRAPHY 44 Bright were the days at Merry Mount, when the May- pole was the banner staff of that gay colony I They who reared It, should their banner be triumphant, were to pour sunshine over New England* 8 rugged hills, and scatter flower seeds throughout the soil. Midsummer eve had come, bringing deep verdure t - +he forest, and roses in her lap, of a more vivid hue than the tender buds of Spring, But May, or her mirth- ful spirit, dwelt all the year round at Merry Mount, sporting with the Summer months, and revelling with Autumn, and basking in the glow of inter's fireside. Through a world of toll and care she flitted with a dreamlike smile, and came hither to find a home among the lightsome hearts of Merry Mount.. Nathaniel Hawthorne who wrote the preceding in "The May- pole of Merry Mount" was not alone In his interest in Merrymount and its Illustrious founder, Thomas Morton (1573-1646 ?). The historian John Lothrop Motley who should have known better tried his hand at a novel based on Morton, and numerous histor- ians since then have spiced up otherwise dull chapters on early New England history with references to Morton and Merrymount.
