To experience this work as it was intended, please point your World Wide Web browser to: http:/ /xroads.virginia.edu/ ~MA96/WCE/title.html Many thanks to John Bunch for his time and patience while I created this hypertextual thesis, and to my advisor Alan Howard for his great suggestions, support, and faith.,.I've truly enjoyed this year-long adventure! I'd like to dedicate this thesis, and my work throughout my Master's Program in English/ American Studies at the University of Virginia to my husband, Craig. Without his love, support, encouragement, and partnership, this thesis and degree could not have been possible. 1 INTRODUCTION The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was the last and the greatest of the nineteenth century's World's Fairs. Nominally a celebration of Columbus' voyages 400 years prior, the Exposition was in actuality a reflection and celebration of American culture and society--for fun, edification, and profit--and a blueprint for life in modem and postmodern America.

  • Concepts and Categories in the History of World Expositions: Introductory Remarks
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by OpenstarTs Guido Abbattista Concepts and Categories in the History of World Expositions: Introductory Remarks This collection of essays presents the results of a two-year project carried out in 2012- 2013 at the University of Trieste by a group of researchers from various disciplines working under the direction of this author. We hope the variety of approaches and methods that in- spired the studies may convincingly illustrate some of the original and interesting perspec- tives from which national, international, universal and world expositions can be explored. World’s fairs and expositions have aroused increasing interest among scholars in the last two decades. As the authors of a 2006 essential bibliography point out, research on the history of international exhibitions and world’s fairs is burgeoning and […] sources on the topic have proliferated enormously in recent years. As a consequence, the field has grown tremendously and now involves disciplines as diverse as History, Cultural Geography, Urban Studies, Art History and the History of Architecture, among others.1 Scholars now have a growing number of specialized publications and reference texts in several languages at their disposal, including an Encyclopedia of World’s Fairs and Expositions2 as well as works on particular expositions, single national experiences or on 1 A.

Structuring the Ephemeral: The Cultural Significance of World's Fair Architecture Raymond F. Betts For a period of slightly more than one hundred years international expositions created their own majesty as "phantom kingdoms": grandly planned, hastily constructed, greatly admired, quickly forgotten. These "world's fairs" were the emblems of an era confident that its technological achievements would assure greater human progress and international harmony. The ceremonial opening of the Great Exhibition of London was depicted in the Illustrated London News of 3 May 1851 "as the commencement of a new era of peace and good-will." On the occasion of the

'1^^ Though we may often forget the fact, beauty is as essen' tial for our well-being and happiness as are food and shelter and clothing. Fortunately, beauty appears in many forms—in music, in painting, in sculpture, in Ht- erature, and in a thousand glories of Nature. Not only are we moved at twilight by the rose colors of the western sky, or by the sparkling stars that sprinkle the vault of heaven at night, but deep in our beings there is a love for growing things, for living objects that in grace ful forms and lovely colors and with sweet odors spring miraculously from the warm bosom of the soil.
