    “NEWS THAT STAYS NEWS”: TRANSFORMATIONS OF LITERATURE, GOSSIP, AND COMMUNITY IN MODERNITY Lindsay Rebecca Starck A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Gregory Flaxman Erin Carlston Eric Downing Andrew Perrin Pamela Cooper © 2016 Lindsay Rebecca Starck ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lindsay Rebecca Starck: “News that stays news”: Transformations of Literature, Gossip, and Community in Modernity (Under the direction of Gregory Flaxman and Erin Carlston) Recent decades have demonstrated a renewed interest in gossip research from scholars in psychology, sociology, and anthropology who argue that gossip—despite its popular reputation as trivial, superficial “women’s talk”—actually serves crucial social and political functions such as establishing codes of conduct and managing reputations. My dissertation draws from and builds upon this contemporary interdisciplinary scholarship by demonstrating how the modernists incorporated and transformed the popular gossip of mass culture into literature, imbuing it with a new power and purpose. The foundational assumption of my dissertation is that as the nature of community changed at the turn of the twentieth century, so too did gossip. Although usually considered to be a socially conservative force that serves to keep social outliers in line, I argue that modernist writers transformed gossip into a potent, revolutionary tool with which modern individuals could advance and promote the progressive ideologies of social, political, and artistic movements. Ultimately, the gossip of key American expatriates (Henry James, Djuna Barnes, Janet Flanner, and Ezra Pound) became a mode of exchanging and redefining creative and critical values for the artists and critics who would follow them.

Although recent discussions have opened debate as to how a variety of discourses can be read as autobiographical, Flanner’s fifty years worth of cultural, political, and personal observation requires an analysis which incorporates traditional and contemporary theories concerning life-writing. Essentially, autobiographical scholarship must continue to push the boundaries of analysis, focusing on the interactions and reactions between the outer world and the inner self.

  • The Amazon in the Drawing Room: Natalie Clifford Barney’S Parisian Salon, 1909 – 1970
    THE AMAZON IN THE DRAWING ROOM: NATALIE CLIFFORD BARNEY’S PARISIAN SALON, 1909 – 1970 MARY CLARE GREENSHIELDS Bachelor of Arts, University of Lethbridge, 2001 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of English University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Mary Greenshields, 2010 Abstract This thesis is organised into two chapters and an appendix. The first chapter explores the significant American expatriate movement in France in the early part of the twentieth century, in an effort to answer the question ―Why France?‖ The second chapter examines the life and work of Natalie Clifford Barney, an American expatriate writer in Paris, who wrote predominantly in French and ran an important weekly salon for over sixty years. Specifically, her aesthetic and subject matter, her life, and her fraught publishing history are considered. The appendix is a translation of Barney's 1910 book of aphorisms entitled Éparpillements. iii Acknowledgements When this thesis began with a reading recommendation in a bookstore in Québec, I had no idea how much I would learn about myself in the process of exploring someone else‘s life. I would not be the woman that I am today without the constancy and love of Bonny and Malcolm Greenshields, my parents. I owe them my life. Dr. Craig Monk, my supervisor, has provided me with endless encouragement, inexhaustible patience and wise counsel. For these, I am eternally grateful. This thesis has also benefited from the careful review and insightful commentary of my committee members, Drs.

  • Paris in the Twenties”: • the Germans Had Twice Failed to Break Through at the Marne for an Invasion of Paris, but Now a Peacetime Invasion Was Taking Place
    “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” Ernest Hemingway PARIS: The Golden Years • Also known as… T PARIS: The Lost Generation This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC T T Also known as… The Crazy Years [email protected] •I WILL PLACE THE SLIDES OF EACH CLASS ON OSHER’S WEBSITE AFTER EACH CLASS.

Let’s get started with … Paris in the 1920s Th If you ask some people about what happened in Paris in the 20s, they’re liable to say, “Huh! Something happened? I didn’t know.” Ask others and they might say, “A lot of Americans went to Paris in the 20s.” Still others might say, “1920s? Well, I think these two guys went there.” T In the immortal words of these other two guys, “Who are those two guys” in that previous slide? •And speaking of Hemingway, let me make a point using two examples. First example (which will probably strike you as somewhat odd) is this man: Q: Who is he? Wyatt Earp (1848-1929) • …… it is now considered "highly imaginative" and "largely fictional.” Winston Churchill (1874-1965) • “History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.” Th And one more incomplete idea, viz., that Paris in the 1920s was one big party where men who would become famous did a lot of drinking and other things! One final error is to think that only Americans showed up in Paris in the 1920s.

Biography Janet Flanner was born to Quaker parents in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1892. She was the middle of two sisters, Mary Emma (Marie), a pianist and composer, and Hildegarde, a poet. Janet and Hildegarde were quite close throughout their childhood and adult lives. Mary Flanner, the matriarch of the Flanner family, was also a poet. When Flanner was twenty years old, her father, Frank Flanner, committed suicide in his own mortuary. Flanner fled Indianapolis soon after to go to the University of Chicago, where she showed an interest in English and sociology--when she managed to go to class. Three years before her father’s death, Janet had visited Europe for the first time and came away with a deep desire to return to the continent. Europe must have seemed like a distant dream to Flanner in the years following Frank Flanner’s suicide as she went to school.
