So dominant had become the demands of a journalism that catered to a flourishing middle-class public de­ termined to achieve an easy method to "culture," that the literary critic of this period, the eighties and nineties, devised an artificial tradition by which he could protect himself against the democratic so­ ciety with which he was acutely dissatisfied. This tradition was, therefore, conservative in nature. Its values, based on customary taste and training, were selected primarily as a refuge against both the con­ temporary American society

    About Natstand Family Documents

    natstand: last updated 24/02/2018 URL: www.natstand.org.uk/pdf/MennellHT000.pdf Root person: Mennell, Henry Tuke (1835 - 1923) Description: Family document Creation date: 2018 January 26 Prepared by: Richard Middleton Notes: Press items reproduced with kind permission of The British Newspaper Archive (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk) About Natstand family documents: A Natstand family document is intended to provide background information concerning the family of a deceased naturalist. It is hoped that such information will form a framework which will help interpret their surviving correspondence, specimens and records. In some cases it will also give an insight into the influences on their early lives and the family constraints within which they worked and collected. We have found that published family data concerning individuals rarely contain justification for dates and relationships and not infrequently contain errors which are then perpetuated. The emphasis in Natstand family documents will be on providing references to primary sources, whenever possible, which will be backed-up with transcriptions. Although a Natstand biography page will always carry a link to a family document, in many cases these documents will be presented without any further biographical material. We anticipate that this will occur if the person is particularly well known or is someone we are actively researching or have only a peripheral interest in. The following conventions are used: Any persons in the family tree with known natural history associations will be indicated in red type. Any relationships will be to the root naturalist unless otherwise stated. Dates are presented Year – Month – Day e.g. 1820 March 9 or 1820.3.9 1820 March or 1820.3 Dates will be shown in bold type if a reliable reference is presented in the document.

    Small Magazines

    The ENGLISH JOURNAL Vol. XIX NOVEMBER 1930 No. 9 SMALL MAGAZINES EZRA POUND I The earlier history—I might almost call it the pre-history of the small magazines in America—has been ably and conscientiously presented by Dr. Rene Taupin in his L'lnfluence du Symbolisme Francais sur la Poesie Americaine (Paris: Champion, 1930); and I may there leave it for specialists. The active phase of the small magazine in America begins with the founding of Miss Monroe's magazine, Poetry, in Chicago in 1911. The significance of the small magazine has, obviously, noth­ ing to do with format. The significance of any work of art or litera­ ture is a root significance that goes down into its original motivation. When this motivation is merely a desire for money or publicity, or when this motivation is in great part such a desire for money direct­ ly or for publicity as a means indirectly of getting money, there oc­ curs a pervasive monotony in the product corresponding to the un­ derlying monotony in the motivation. The public runs hither and thither with transitory pleasures and underlying dissatisfactions; the specialists say: "This isn't litera­ ture." And a deal of vain discussion ensues. The monotony in the product arises from the monotony in the motivation. During the ten or twenty years preceding 1912 the then-called "better magazines" had failed lamentably and even offensively to maintain intellectual life. They are supposed to have been "good" 689 690 THE ENGLISH JOURNAL during some anterior period.

    Red Or Dead: States of Poetry in Depression America

    Red or Dead: States of Poetry in Depression America by Sarah Elizabeth Ehlers A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alan M. Wald, Chair Professor Howard Brick Professor June M. Howard Professor Yopie Prins Associate Professor Joshua L. Miller ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The same year I began my Ph.D. work at the University of Michigan, my father lost the coal-mining job he had worked for over twenty years. That particular confluence of events had a profound effect on me, and I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the ways in which my personal feelings of anger and frustration—my sense of being somehow out-of-place—influenced my thinking and this project. Certainly, it was one of the catalysts for my deep interest in the U.S. literary Left. Like so many others, I am indebted to Alan Wald for my understanding of Left literature and culture. Alan has been, probably more than he knows, an example of the kind of scholar I hope to be—even, I admit, an ideal ego of sorts. I continue to be as awed by his deep knowledge as I am by his humility and generosity. Yopie Prins taught me how to read poetry when I already thought I knew how, and my conversations with her over the past five years have shaped my thinking in remarkable ways. From my first days in Ann Arbor, June Howard has been a source of intellectual guidance, and her insights on my work and the profession have been a sustaining influence.

  • On Pilgrimage - Our Spring Appeal

    On Pilgrimage - Our Spring Appeal

    On Pilgrimage - Our Spring Appeal Dorothy Day The Catholic Worker, May 1970, 1, 2, 11. Summary: Appeals for help and answers the question “What is it all about, this Catholic Worker movement?” Describes the Catholic Worker as a school, a family, and a community of need. Says they are anarchist-pacifist, which is distinguished from nihilism. Asserts the primacy of conscience and “The most effective action we can take is to try to conform our lives to the folly of the Cross, as St. Paul called it.” Keywords: Catholic Worker philosophy, non-violence (DDLW #500). “Now delights the virgin in dance/and young men and old together./I turn their mourning into joy, I console and gladden their woe/I refresh the souls of the priests with delight/and my people are filled with my good things.” Who would know that the above is Jeremiah speaking, the prophet who advocated nonviolence, indeed appeasement, and was thrown into a noisome prison for his plans? I am writing this on a brilliant spring day, with the sun shining gloriously and three little children playing on the lawn in front of the old house at Tivoli. As I look out of the window I see Dan wandering up the road to the house. Dan was brought up here as a child when this place was an extension of an orphanage in Yonkers, a camp in summer and an agricultural school. He loves the place so much, his roots are here, so he has taken over an unused corner of the old mansion, where he sleeps.

Abstract Alice Christiana Gertrude Meynell (1847-1922) English writer, editor, critic, suffragist and poet. The collection contains ten letters sent by Meynell to a Mrs. Burchett. The letters are believed to have been written before 1877. Information on Use Access The collection is open for research. Citation When quoting material from this collection, the preferred citation is: Meynell, Alice. Correspondence, [Box #, Folder #], Special Collections Research Center, University of Chicago Library. Biographical Note Alice Christiana Gertrude Meynell was born in October 11, 1847, in Barnes, London, to Thomas James and Christiana Thompson. As a child, she and her family moved around England, Switzerland, and France, though Meynell spent most of her youth in Italy. Meynell published her first collection of poetry, Preludes, in 1875. Though it received little public attention, the famed English art critic John Ruskin praised her work. Meynell converted to the Catholic Church at some point prior to 1868 and her family followed suit. Her conversion focused her writing in religious matters. This new focus led her to meet a Catholic newspaper editor, Wilfrid Meynell (1852-1948) in 1876.

The magazines are The Seven Arts (1916-1917), 291 (1915-1916), The Soil (1916-1917), and The Pagan (1916-1922). The division between art and commerce is addressed in the text of all four, in a variety of different ways, and the results of that supposed division are explored for each magazine.
