  • Improving on Nature: Eugenics in Utopian Fiction
    1 Improving on Nature: Eugenics in Utopian Fiction Submitted by Christina Jane Lake to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2017 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright materials and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approve for the award of a degree by this or any other university. (Signature)............................................................................................................. 2 3 Abstract There has long been a connection between the concept of utopia as a perfect society and the desire for perfect humans to live in this society. A form of selective breeding takes place in many fictional utopias from Plato’s Republic onwards, but it is only with the naming and promotion of eugenics by Francis Galton in the late nineteenth century that eugenics becomes a consistent and important component of utopian fiction. In my introduction I argue that behind the desire for eugenic fitness within utopias resides a sense that human nature needs improving. Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859) prompted fears of degeneration, and eugenics was seen as a means of restoring purpose and control. Chapter Two examines the impact of Darwin’s ideas on the late nineteenth-century utopia through contrasting the evolutionary fears of Samuel Butler’s Erewhon (1872) with Edward Bellamy’s more positive view of the potential of evolution in Looking Backward (1888).

But the value of local history lies not merely in the fact that it may be made the basis of a business under­ taking. The material with which it deals deserves to be preserved in a permanent and carefully prepared form; for it is nothing less than the whole fascinating story of life, of development, from pioneer days to the present time, restricted, to be sure, to a comparatively small section of the state.

  • Introduction 1 Introduction
    Introduction 1 Introduction Bernard Lightman The year 2009 marked the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859) and the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth. The coinciding, twin anniversaries generated over 300 celebratory events, held across the globe.1 In that same year scores of publications were produced on all things Darwin.2 Three years after the Darwin Year in 2009 another anniversary in the history of evolution took place. 2012 marked the 150th anniversary of the publication of Herbert Spencer’s First Principles (1862), the first volume of his ambitious System of Synthetic Philosophy (1862–1896). In Spencer’s mind the theory of evolution was the key to his entire system. In ten dense volumes on biology, sociology, ethics, psychology and religion, Spencer presented a new intellectual synthesis by interpreting all phenomena according to the law of evolution. But in contrast to the extensive Darwin celebrations, 2012 passed with no fanfare. No major events were held to draw attention to Spencer’s role in the dissemination of evolutionary theory. Instead of an avalanche of publi- cations in one year, as in Darwin’s case, only a handful of books on Spencer have appeared over the last decade, including Jones and Peel’s edited collec- tion Herbert Spencer: The Intellectual Legacy, Francis’s Herbert Spencer and the Invention of Modern Life, and Taylor’s The Philosophy of Herbert Spencer.3 Both the non-event of the 2012 anniversary and the paucity of recent scholarship speak volumes about Spencer’s reputation in the early twenty-first century.

Roberts Office Hours: Mon. 3-5, Tues. 9-10, Office: 226 Bay State Road, Room 406 and by appointment 617-353-2557 (O); 781-209-0982 (H) [email protected] Course Description: Few concepts have proved more difficult to define than religion, but most students of the subject would agree that religious traditions commonly include rituals and other practices, aesthetic and emotional experiences, and a body of ideas typically expressed as beliefs. This course focuses on those beliefs during the course of American history from the first English colonial settlement to the present and on their interaction with the broader currents of American culture. Theology is the term often used to describe the systematic expression of religious doctrine. It is clearly possible, however, to discuss religious beliefs outside the context of formal theology, and it is at least arguable that some of the most influential beliefs in American history have received their most vivid and forceful expressions beyond the purview of theological discourse. Accordingly, while much of our attention in this course will focus on the works of theologians and clergy--the religious “professionals”--we shall also deal with religious strategies that a widely disparate group of other thinkers (e.g., scientists, artists, and other influential lay people) have deployed in attempting to account for the nature of the cosmos, the structure of the social order, and the dynamics of human experience. Most of the people whom we’ll be studying were committed proponents of Christianity or Judaism, but the course lectures and readings will also occasionally move outside of those traditions to include others.

  • The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855
    HISTORY’S IMPRINT: THE COLONIAL BOOK AND THE WRITING OF AMERICAN HISTORY, 1790-1855 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsay E.M. DiCuirci, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Elizabeth Hewitt, Adviser Jared Gardner Susan Williams Copyright by Lindsay Erin Marks DiCuirci 2010 ABSTRACT “History’s Imprint: The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855” investigates the role that reprinted colonial texts played in the development of historical consciousness in nineteenth-century America. In the early decades of the nineteenth century, antiquarians and historians began to make a concerted effort to amass and preserve an American archive of manuscript and print material, in addition to other artifacts and “curiosities” from the colonial period. Publishers and editors also began to prepare new editions of colonial texts for publication, introducing nineteenth-century readers to these historical artifacts for the first time. My dissertation considers the role of antiquarian collecting and historical publishing—the reprinting of colonial texts—in the production of popular historical narratives. I study the competing narratives of America’s colonial origins that emerged between 1790 and 1855 as a result of this new commitment to historicism and antiquarianism. I argue that the acts of selecting, editing, and reprinting were ideologically charged as these colonial texts were introduced to new audiences. Instead of functioning as pure reproductions of colonial books, these texts were used to advocate specific religious, political, and cultural positions in the nineteenth century.

  • Eugenics: Its Definition, Scope and Aims
    EUGENICS: ITS DEFINITION, SCOPE AND AIMS By FRANcrs G alton, D.C.L.; Sc.D.; F.R.S. Read before the Sociological Society at a Meeting in the School of Economics and Political Science (London University), on May 16th, 1904. Professor K arl P earson, F.R.S., in the chair. Eugenics is the science which deals with all influences that improve the inborn qualities of a race; also with those that develop them to the utmost advantage. The improvement of the .inborn qualities, or stock, of some one human population, will alone be discussed here. What is meant by improvement ? What by the syllable E u in Eugenics, whose English equivalent is good? There is considerable difference between goodness in the several qualities and in that of the character as a whole. The character depends largely on the proportion between qualities whose balance may be much influenced by education. We must therefore leave morals as far as possible out of the discussion, not entangling ourselves with the almost hopeless difficulties they raise as to whether a character as a whole is good or bad. Moreover, the good­ ness or badness of character is not absolute, but relative to the cur­ rent form of civilisation. A fable will best explain what is meant. Let the scene be the Zoological Gardens in the quiet hours of the night, and suppose that, as in old fables, the animals are able to converse, and that some very wise creature who had easy access to all the cages, say a philosophic sparrow or rat, was engaged in collecting the opinions of all sorts of animals with a view of elaborating a system of absolute morality.

  • The Story of the Truth, the Way, the Life
    The Story of The Truth, The Way, The Life BYU Studies copyright 1993 BYU Studies copyright 1993 The Story of The Truth, The Way, The Life James B. Allen New facts tell the full history of B. H. Roberts’s 1927–28 doctrinal treatise as Church authorities labored responsibly to resolve some difficult issues. B. H. Roberts was a highly complex person, impossible to characterize fully in any simple terms.1 With respect to his mental capacity and schol- arly activities, however, he has frequently been identified as perhaps the most eminent intellectual in the history of the Church.2 Roberts himself probably would not have flaunted such a distinction,3 but it is one he may have appreciated hearing. As a young, illiterate British immigrant to Utah, he was bright, eager to learn, and anxious to master all the knowledge he could. He attended Deseret University (predecessor to the University of Utah), where he learned something from John R. Park about the value of independent thought. He also graduated at the top of his class. Mainly, however, he was self-taught, reading everything he could get his hands on and eventually becoming one of the most learned men in Utah. As a scholar, writer, and Church leader, he showed all the characteristics of one who loved the life of the mind, thirsted for both secular and spiritual knowledge, and was willing to discuss all the implications of anything he learned. His personal library, now housed in the LDS Church Archives, comprised 1,385 books, a substantial portion of which dealt with some aspect of theology, history (including Christian history and American antiquities), and philosophy.4 Roberts was the epitome of what one might call the “faithful intellec- tual.” He believed that the quest for knowledge involved both the life of the mind and the life of the spirit—that intellectuality and faith must go hand- in-hand in their search for truth.
