  • A Humble Protest a Literary Generation's Quest for The
    A HUMBLE PROTEST A LITERARY GENERATION’S QUEST FOR THE HEROIC SELF, 1917 – 1930 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jason A. Powell, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Steven Conn, Adviser Professor Paula Baker Professor David Steigerwald _____________________ Adviser Professor George Cotkin History Graduate Program Copyright by Jason Powell 2008 ABSTRACT Through the life and works of novelist John Dos Passos this project reexamines the inter-war cultural phenomenon that we call the Lost Generation. The Great War had destroyed traditional models of heroism for twenties intellectuals such as Ernest Hemingway, Edmund Wilson, Malcolm Cowley, E. E. Cummings, Hart Crane, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Dos Passos, compelling them to create a new understanding of what I call the “heroic self.” Through a modernist, experience based, epistemology these writers deemed that the relationship between the heroic individual and the world consisted of a dialectical tension between irony and romance. The ironic interpretation, the view that the world is an antagonistic force out to suppress individual vitality, drove these intellectuals to adopt the Freudian conception of heroism as a revolt against social oppression. The Lost Generation rebelled against these pernicious forces which they believed existed in the forms of militarism, patriotism, progressivism, and absolutism. The

  • 1 Thomas Mann, World Author: Representation and Autonomy In
    Thomas Mann, World Author: Representation and Autonomy in the World Republic of Letters Tobias Boes, University of Notre Dame In her influential study The World Republic of Letters, Pascale Casanova draws a firm line between what she calls “national” and “international” writers. For national writers, “literary aesthetics (because they are connected with political questions) are necessarily neonaturalistic.” International writers, on the other hand, are described as “cosmopolitans and polyglots who, owing to their knowledge of the revolution that have taken place in the freest territories of the literary world, attempt to introduce new norms” (Casanova 110-11). There are a number of different criticisms that could be leveled at this distinction. Here, I want simply to point out the striking similarities between what Casanova alleges are universal sociological categories on the one hand, and a particular historicizing narrative about literary modernism on the other. Casanova insists, for instance, that the struggle for “autonomy,” which she defines as “literary emancipation in the face of political (and national) claims to authority” (39), represents the most distinctive characteristic of international writing. She thereby echoes claims that have been made about “modern” art since at least the late nineteenth century (for an overview of these debates, see Goldstone). Even her remapping of the struggle between “autonomous” and “dependent” modes of thought onto the terms “cosmopolitan” and “national” is echoed by recent trends within modernist scholarship (see for example Walkowitz). This homology is striking, especially since a very different kind of “international writer” (or, as I shall henceforth call them, “world author”) seems to have moved to the foreground in the present day.

  • Modernism & Modernist Literature: Introduction
    MODERNISM & MODERNIST LITERATURE: INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Broadly speaking, ‘modernism’ might be said to have been characterised by a deliberate and often radical shift away from tradition, and consequently by the use of new and innovative forms of expression Thus, many styles in art and literature from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are markedly different from those that preceded them. The term ‘modernism’ generally covers the creative output of artists and thinkers who saw ‘traditional’ approaches to the arts, architecture, literature, religion, social organisation (and even life itself) had become outdated in light of the new economic, social and political circumstances of a by now fully industrialised society. Amid rapid social change and significant developments in science (including the social sciences), modernists found themselves alienated from what might be termed Victorian morality and convention. They duly set about searching for radical responses to the radical changes occurring around them, affirming mankind’s power to shape and influence his environment through experimentation, technology and scientific advancement, while identifying potential obstacles to ‘progress’ in all aspects of existence in order to replace them with updated new alternatives. All the enduring certainties of Enlightenment thinking, and the heretofore unquestioned existence of an all-seeing, all-powerful ‘Creator’ figure, were high on the modernists’ list of dogmas that were now to be challenged, or subverted, perhaps rejected altogether, or, at the very least, reflected upon from a fresh new ‘modernist’ perspective. Not that modernism categorically defied religion or eschewed all the beliefs and ideas associated with the Enlightenment; it would be more accurate to view modernism as a tendency to question, and strive for alternatives to, the convictions of the preceding age.

  • Martyrs of World War Two
    HEROES HANG WHEN TRAITORS TRIUMPH Martyrs Of World War Two MIKE WALSH BIOGRAPHY MIKE WALSH Mike Walsh is a veteran journalist, broadcaster and historian. A fugitive from renegade Europeans, leftists, palace journalists, he has shrugged off their wrath over 50 years of writing. His Irish-American father, Patrick had fought in four conflicts by the time he reached 40-years of age: The Irish peoples guerrilla war against the British Army‟s Black and Tans. These armed irregulars, dredged from England‟s prisons, were notorious for their viciousness. The Irish War of Independence and on to fight in the most ferocious hand-to-hand battles during the Spanish Civil War. Whilst on the frontlines he was a close associate of American war correspondent, Ernest Hemingway. Mike‟s father formed an enduring friendship with Ireland‟s celebrated playwright, Sean O‟Casey. Eventually his father served in the Royal Air Force during World War Two as an aircraft fitter / flier. Kathleen, Mike‟s well- educated mother also mentored his writing skills. A former novice nun she was a corresponding friend of Spain's Civil War revolutionary La Pasionaria. From the age of 26 the world-travelling Mike was consumed by a passion for truth and justice. Inevitably, this led him to the potpourri of lies, infamies, cover-ups and crimes committed by the Allies that militarily defeated the Workers Reich. By doing so they ensured the spread of Bolshevism, denial of freedom to nearly a score of Central European nations, the dismembering of the British Empire, and surrender to American imperialism. The Allied victory ensured that Bolshevism would fester for a further 45 years; this they call victory.

  • King Tut and the Dead Earl
    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 07/02/12, SPi 1 King Tut and the Dead Earl Opening the tomb he idea of the mummy curse always conjures up the story of the open- T ing of the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun in the winter of 1922–3 by the archaeologist Howard Carter and his wealthy patron, George Herbert, the Fift h Earl of Carnarvon. Carter and Carnarvon had worked as a team of excavators in Egypt since 1907, discovering a number of minor tombs in the necropolis of Th ebes and publishing a well-regarded scholarly study of their eff orts, Five Years’ Explora- tions at Th ebes , in 1911. In 1914, they fi nally acquired their long-desired conces- sion, a legal permit to excavate, issued by the Egyptian Antiquities Service, in the Valley of the Kings. Th ey stepped into the concession of the remorseless tomb-hunter Th eodore Davis, a retired American lawyer who quitt ed the area loudly declaring that the Valley of the Kings was an exhausted site with no new tombs left to discover. Davis had a cavalier reputation, however, and Carter was convinced that the tomb of Tutankhamun had not yet been found, despite some tantalizing discoveries bearing the boy-king’s royal name. War service then interrupted their planned excavations, Carter returning to the site in 1917. By early 1922, Carter counted six seasons of systematic searching in vain for signs of the tomb. Th eir fellaheen – teams of native Egyptian labourers – had moved an estimated 200,000 tons of rubble to no eff ect.

  • Halliburton, Richard (1900-1939) by Mark Staebler
    Halliburton, Richard (1900-1939) by Mark Staebler Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Once every schoolboy's idol, a best-selling author, and a household name in the United States and abroad, American adventurer and writer Richard Halliburton became virtually forgotten soon after his death in 1939. Recently, however, there has been renewed interest in him, at least in part because of his homosexuality, which he understandably took efforts to conceal during his lifetime but which nevertheless surfaced in his writing and has subsequently been confirmed. Halliburton was born on January 9, 1900, in Brownsville, Tennessee, near Memphis, to a prosperous family. A sickly child, he manifested a congenital heart problem at age 15 and spent eight months in isolated recovery. His brother's death from a similar condition two years later motivated Halliburton to take the offensive against infirmity, and to determine to seek a life of adventure and daring.
