It lays no claim to being exhaustive in any department. Its design is simply to furnish a handy-book for ascertain- ing or verifying the authorship of famous poems, plays, essays, novels, romances, philosophical and literary treatises, and the like, so far as they bear a specific and distinctive title. An elegy like Adonais, a scientific treatise like Cos- mos, a book of travels like Eothen, come fairly within the grasp of the work ; while a History of England (as Froudcs), a Dictionary of the English Language (as Johnsons), a volume of Essays (as Bacons) or Sermons (as Tillotsous), and other the like books, have titles altogether too general and indiscrete to bring them properly within its scope. Of course an undertaking of this sort — wholly novel as it is believed to be — must inevitably and from its very nature yield imperfect results. The compiler, in doubtful cases, must exercise his own judgment ; yet however cau- tiously he may do so, lie will sometimes err, both in what he admits and what he excludes. The very copiousness of the materials with which he has to deal will prove a dis- traction and a snare. He will find himself, as Taiue says " of the critic of English novels, in danger of being swamped, as it were, in this abundance: he must select in order to grasp the whole, and confine himself to a few in order to 2 PREFACE. * embrace all." The scholar, it is true, may fail to obtain from this little manual the information respecting some old and half-forgotten treatise, which has long baffled his search, and the lover of light literature will often look in vain for the title of some popular but epJiemcral novel (and it is in the that department of prose-fiction the greatest difficulty in selection has been experienced), yet it is hoped and confi- dently believed that the general reader, recognizing at once the such a usefulness of work, and the difficulties insepara- ble from its successful execution, will kindly allow its merits, excuse its defects, and receive it as the cotivenient vade- mecum it is intended to be. In the preparation of this Index, use has been made of Appletou's and Chambers's Encyclopedias, Hoefcrs Nouvclle Biographic Generate, Midland's Biographie Universelle, Thom- as's Biographical Dictionary, Payne's Index of Biography, and other similar standard works of reference. A thorough examination has also been made of the catalogues of the Boston Public Library and of the Library of Congress, as well as of works specially devoted to the various branches of literary history. — of which it will be sufficient to name no more than A Ilibone's Dictionary of Authors, Hallams Introduction to the Literature of E?trope, Craik's Cyclopedia of English Literature, Duyckiuck's Cyclopedia of American Literature, Lougfclloivs Poets and Poetry of Europe, Dana's Household Book of Poetry, Hedge's Prose Writers of Ger- many, and Ticknors History of Spanish Literature. WILLIAM A. WHEELER. * Le critique se trouve comtne noye dans cette ahondance ; il doit choisir pour saisir VttutmbU, ei se rtdniri a quelquis-uns pour let embrasser tons. — Histoire de la litterature *• Paris, 1864. T. 4, p. 72. NOTE. The preface above given had been printed, and the first part of the manu- script of this Index had been finally revised for the printer, when the work was interrupted by the death of Mr. William A. Wheeler. Attention had first been called to the book (then in preparation) in the preface to his Dictionary of the Noted Names of Fiction, L865, and it was afterwards announced by the publishers as soon to be issued under the title of Who Wrote It? Since these announcements a work bearing the same has been title, but wholly unlike this both in scope and contents, published in England. Two other English works (both republished in this country), which apparently cover a part of the same ground as this Index, and one of which seems to have embodied to a large extent both the plan and contents of Mr. Wheeler's Dictionary of (la- Noted Names of Fiction, have also ap- peared since public notice was given of the intended publication of Who Wrote It f But notwithstanding some points of similarity, neither of these works fills the place which this little manual is designed to occupy, and it is confidently believed that no work exists, which aims, like this, to present in ^a condensed form a synoptic view of the more noted works in ancient and modern literature. In the notes which are appended to some of the articles the purpose has merely been to give a few facts (sometimes of an historical character) which it is thought may be interesting to the general reader, and which it is hoped may in some cases save the necessity of further research. No attempt has been made to give the plots of novels and dramas, or to furnish descriptions of those works about which an ordinary reader may easily inform himself. In the preparation of these notes the statements have been carefully collated from independent sources, and no hesitation has been felt in using an au- thor's exact words when the information needed has been found already expressed in what seemed the best language. Some familiar first lines of English poetry have been included in the work. The end in view, as stated in the original preface, being the preparation of a small manual, not of a general index, it has of course ' a impossible to include the popular books of the day, and comparatively few are inserted 3 4 . NOTE. which have been published in the latter half of the present century. Let the reader who does not find the work about which he seeks information ask himself two questions: Is it one of the More Noted (and not very recent) works of literature? Has it a specific and distinctive title? Doubtless some of the older works here included may seem to have a very questionable right to admission, and to be so far forgotten as to rank with the rauci Theseide Codri which lives only in the line of Juvenal, but in general such works have had a certain fame which gives them a recognized place in the history of literature. Likewise a few ephemeral works of more recent date may now and then have gained admission for one or another reason, but because of these insertions no responsibility is felt for the omission of thousands of a similar class, or in fact for the exclusion of any works which are not famous. In accordance with the original plan, and in continuation of this book, the editor has now in an advanced state of preparation a companion-voliune, intended to include a class of works which do not properly come within the scope of this book, but which it is believed will meet the wants of readers who do not find here in all cases the information they seek. It merely remains to add that the present editor has endeavored to carry out the work in accordance with the in so original design ; that, doing, his aim has been to secure the highest practicable degree of aecttrticy,. compre- and that corrections hensiveness, practical utility ; and, finally, any or sug- gestions which may be sent to him will be gratefully received, and used in the preparation of a future edition.

Nicholas Vazsonyi (Hg.) Searching for Common Ground Diskurse zur deutschen Identität 1750-1871 The Rhine Crisis of 1840: Rheinlieder\ German Nationalism, and the Masses Lorie A. Vanchena France's threat in 1840 to reestablish the Rhine as its eastern border proved central to the formation of German national consciousness and identity in the nineteenth century. The Rhine crisis generated intense anti-French, patriotic fervor in the German territories that extended well beyond the Rhineland. One expression of this nationalist sentiment was the poetry written as a direct response to the crisis, the countless Rheinlieder. These poems, including those critical of the Rheinliedbewegung> functioned as a medium of public debate about the crisis with France. Constituting a literary, journalistic, and political phenomenon, the poems enjoyed widespread popularity and resonance among the German public. The periodic press in particular served as a vehicle for disseminating these poems, thus enabling them to become part of the public dialog on the historical developments they addressed.

  • Horse-Handling in Shakespeare's Poems And
    HORSE-HANDLING IN SHAKESPEARE’S POEMS AND RENAISSANCE CODES OF CONDUCT by Jonathan W. Thurston Master of Arts in English Middle Tennessee State University December 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Marion Hollings, Chair Dr. Kevin Donovan, Reader To Temerita, ever faithful. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS After the many hours, days, weeks, and months put into the creation of this thesis, I am proud to express my sincere gratitude to the people who have helped to shape, mold, and inspire the project. First, I owe innumerable thanks to Dr. Marion Hollings. This project started after our first meeting, at which time we discussed the horses of Shakespeare. Gradually, under her tutelage, the thesis was shaped into its current scope and organization. I have occupied her time during many an office hour and one coffee shop day out, discussing the intricacies of early modern equestrianism. She has been a splendid, committed, and passionate director, and I have learned a tremendous amount from her. Second, I would like to thank Dr. Kevin Donovan for his commitment to making the project as sharp and coherent as possible. His suggestions have proven invaluable, and his insight into Shakespearean scholarship has helped to mold this thesis into a well- researched document. Other acknowledgments go out to Dr. Lynn Enterline for teaching me the importance of understanding Italian and Latin for Renaissance texts; the Gay Rodeo Association for free lessons in equestrianism that aided in my embodied phenomenological approach; Sherayah Witcher for helping me through the awkward phrases and the transportation to campus to receive revisions of the drafts; and, finally, Temerita, my muse.

  • The Life of the Female Mind: Hester Mulso Chapone and the Gendered Rhetoric of Experience
    The Life of the Female Mind: Hester Mulso Chapone and the Gendered Rhetoric of Experience Bethany Mannon Abstract: This article studies the writings of Hester Mulso Chapone (1727-1801) a prolific member of the late-eighteenth century Bluestocking circle. Working within genres traditionally available to women, most notably the conversational rhetoric of letters, Chapone advocates for an expanded social role and rhetorical education for young women. These letters later circulated publicly as Letters on Filial Obedience (1751) and Letters on the Improvement of the Mind (1773). Chapone’s participation in a tradition of feminist writing deserves attention be- cause of her success foregrounding personal experience as a source of authority and deploying personal writing to persuade, inform, and confront prevailing power structures. Keywords: Conversational Rhetoric, Feminist Rhetoric, Life Writing, Bluestockings Hester Mulso Chapone (1727-1801) wrote prolifically in the eighteenth century and, together with the writers Elizabeth Montagu, Catharine Macaulay, Charlotte Lennox, Elizabeth Carter, Sarah Scott, Hannah More, and Frances Burney, influenced British intellectual culture. A member of this Bluestocking generation, Chapone was known during her life for her essays, letters, conver- sation, poetry, and advice on the education of young women. She maintained a reputation as an intellectual moralist into the nineteenth century, as her writings continued to be widely printed and read. Chapone worked within the genres of letters and conduct books—traditionally accessible to women—but expanded those genres to confront eighteenth-century notions of virtue and education. Her Letters on Filial Obedience (1751) and Letters on the Improvement of the Mind (1773) foreground her youth and femininity; she performs a Peitho Journal: Vol.

" A knowledge of the commonplace, at least, of Oriental literature, philo- sophy, and religion is as necessary to the general reader of the present day as an acquaintance with the Latin and Greek classics was a generation or so ago.
