Harper, 1834. 376pp. 12mo. Publisher’s printed muslin. Early ink gift inscription on pastedown, trace of inevitable minor foxing, and almost negligible soiling to muslin, but for the format, an unusually nice copy.

  • Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood

    Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood

    Katherine Kinney Cold Wars: Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood n 1982 Louis Gossett, Jr was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Foley in An Officer and a Gentleman, becoming theI first African American actor to win an Oscar since Sidney Poitier. In 1989, Denzel Washington became the second to win, again in a supporting role, for Glory. It is perhaps more than coincidental that both award winning roles were soldiers. At once assimilationist and militant, the black soldier apparently escapes the Hollywood history Donald Bogle has named, “Coons, Toms, Bucks, and Mammies” or the more recent litany of cops and criminals. From the liberal consensus of WWII, to the ideological ruptures of Vietnam, and the reconstruction of the image of the military in the Reagan-Bush era, the black soldier has assumed an increasingly prominent role, ironically maintaining Hollywood’s liberal credentials and its preeminence in producing a national mythos. This largely static evolution can be traced from landmark films of WWII and post-War liberal Hollywood: Bataan (1943) and Home of the Brave (1949), through the career of actor James Edwards in the 1950’s, and to the more politically contested Vietnam War films of the 1980’s. Since WWII, the black soldier has held a crucial, but little noted, position in the battles over Hollywood representations of African American men.1 The soldier’s role is conspicuous in the way it places African American men explicitly within a nationalist and a nationaliz- ing context: U.S. history and Hollywood’s narrative of assimilation, the combat film.
  • Elmore Leonard, 1925-2013

    Elmore Leonard, 1925-2013

    ELMORE LEONARD, 1925-2013 Elmore Leonard was born October 11, 1925 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Due to his father’s position working for General Motors, Leonard’s family moved numerous times during his childhood, before finally settling in Detroit, MI in 1934. Leonard went on to graduate high school in Detroit in 1943, and joined the Navy, serving in the legendary Seabees military construction unit in the Pacific theater of operations before returning home in 1946. Leonard then attended the University of Detroit, majoring in English and Philosophy. Plans to assist his father in running an auto dealership fell through on his father’s early death, and after graduating, Leonard took a job writing for an ad agency. He married (for the first of three times) in 1949. While working his day job in the advertising world, Leonard wrote constantly, submitting mainly western stories to the pulp and/or mens’ magazines, where he was establishing himself with a strong reputation. His stories also occasionally caught the eye of the entertainment industry and were often optioned for films or television adaptation. In 1961, Leonard attempted to concentrate on writing full-time, with only occasional free- lance ad work. With the western market drying up, Leonard broke into the mainstream suspense field with his first non-western novel, The Big Bounce in 1969. From that point on, his publishing success continued to increase – with both critical and fan response to his works helping his novels to appear on bestseller lists. His 1983 novel La Brava won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel of the year.

    “Our Little Systems Have Their Day”: Tennyson's Poetic

    “OUR LITTLE SYSTEMS HAVE THEIR DAY”: TENNYSON’S POETIC TREATMENT OF SCIENCE by Emily Carroll Shearer A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Rebecca King, Department of English, Chair Dr. Larry Gentry, Department of English Dr. Tammy Melton, Department of Chemistry © 2014 Emily Carroll Shearer ii For Mom and Dad – I’ve spent almost two years writing this “damn dissertation.” It’s around 38,000 words, so you’d think that a few extra for the dedication wouldn’t be that much more. It amazes me how words fail me when I want them the most. I don’t have the words to thank you for homeschooling me or for raising me to be a stubborn mule when it comes to achieving something (trust me, that’s an asset in graduate school) or for teaching me not to put up with crap from anyone. I don’t know how to say thank you for showing me how to listen or be kind to others, to take other people into heart as family, and to keep laughter as a constant companion. I don’t know how to say thank you for teaching me not to give up—and for not giving up on me when I felt like giving up on myself. Then again, maybe I do have the words. I love you so much. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Rebecca King for all her work in helping me prepare this dissertation.

    Perspective Lesson 2: Three-Dimensional Form Perspective Lesson 2: Three-Dimensional Drawing: Cubes, Cones, Columns, and More Materials Needed: • Paper • Pencils • Erasers • Rulers Goal of this Tutorial: Students should be able to draw at least one of these three-dimensional forms step-by- step. These forms will be the foundation of doing any work in realistic drawings for art, diagrams, science, ect. Vocabulary includes Picture Plane, Preparation Required: Making sure you can easily follow the step-by-step guides on how to draw a cube, column, cone, via the instructions at the back of this tutorial. “…any object, no matter how complicated…is made up of a sphere, a cube, a cone, a cylinder, or some combination of these forms.” -The Famous Artists Course, Chapter 2: Form-the Basis of Drawing1 Tutor: Thus far, we’ve learned how to use OiLS to draw objects we are looking at. What are OiLS again? Today, we’re going to look at how to draw things from imagination that look three-dimensional, but they’re still on a flat sheet of paper. The technical term for the surface of the paper is the “Picture Plane”. It’s like an imaginary window you’re looking through to see the scene you’re going to create. When you go to an art museum, you’re looking through the window of the “picture planes” into the various worlds the artists created for you to glimpse. But first, we have to create shapes that look like they are three dimensional, and do that, we have to be a little tricky.

    IN MEMORIAM: AN ODE TO MELANCHOLY AND RELIGION IN TENNYSON’S MAGNUM OPUS A Thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Master’s Degree In English Literature by Melissa Thea Valk San Francisco, California Fall 2020 Copyright by Melissa Thea Valk 2020 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read I certify that I have read “In Memoriam:” An Ode to Melancholy and Religion in Tennyson’s Magnum Opus” by Melissa Thea Valk, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in English Literature at San Francisco State University. Summer Star , Ph.D. Assistant Professor Sara Hackenberg, Ph.D. Associate Professor IN MEMORIAM: AN ODE TO MELANCHOLY AND RELIGION IN TENNYSON’S MAGNUM OPUS Melissa Thea Valk San Francisco, California 2020 This thesis dissects the role of melancholic imagery and religion in Alfred Tennyson’s poetry, with a special focus on his magnum opus, In Memoriam A.H.H (1850) and how the use of melancholy and religion act as rhetorical tropes in conveying the depths of his grief after losing his dear friend, Arthur Hallam. Furthermore, I analyzed particular cantos adjacent to a few of his other poems such as “The Lady of Shalott” (1833 and 1842), “Mariana” (1830), and “The Sleeping Beauty” (1830). The use of melancholic imagery is abundant in Tennyson’s work, but this thesis argues that upon the death of Arthur Hallam, Tennyson reconfigured his melancholic aesthetic that we see in his older poems to fit the melancholic tone in his elegy.
