Acquisition Information The Josephine Miles Papers were given to The Bancroft Library by Miss Miles during the years 1974-1983, and by her estate on September 24, 1985. Processing Information Processed by Jane Phillips; revised and completed by Sarah Kanafani and Kimberly Tarr in September 2000, under the supervision of Linda Jordan. Biography Josephine Miles was born in Chicago on June 11, 1911 to Reginald Odber and Josephine Lackner Miles. Her father was of British ancestory and traced his decendants to the Mayflower; her mother migrated as a child from Germany and graduated from the University of Chicago. Josephine had two brothers, Richard B. and John O. Miles. Born with a dislocated hip that did not receive proper treatment, she suffered from severely crippling rheumatoid arthritis. When the arthritis worsened a couple of years later, the family moved to southern California. Josephine's grammar school career was so haphazard, she credited her mother with teaching her to read and write. Miles graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UCLA in 1932, and received her M.A. (1934) and Ph.D. (1938) from UC, Berkeley. At the age of twenty five, she won her first national prize for poetry, the Shelley Award, and her first book, Lines at Intersection was accepted for publication by Macmillan and Company. Miss Miles joined the English Department at UC Berkeley in 1940, won tenure in 1947, and was appointed University Professor in 1972. She was the first, and for many years the only, woman on the department faculty. "Jo" Miles was one of the early architects of the Department of English's current curriculum, particularly in composition. Her "Prose Improvement Project" during the 1950s brought English Dept. teaching assistants together with those of 15 other departments in a broad effort to improve undergraduate's writing all over the campus. Her students have published more than 50 volumes of poems and won at least two national book awards. Miles methods helped form the Bay Area Writing Project, later renamed the California Writing Project, which trains teachers how best to teach writing. Throughout her career, Miss Miles received many awards and much recognition, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1948. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Science in 1964, and selected by her colleagues to fill the prestigious post of faculty research lecturer in 1975-76. In 1977, a committee of the Academic Senate gave her a distinguished teaching award. Collected Poems, 1930-1983, won The Nation magazine's Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize and the book was one of three finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. In 1984, Miss Miles was the first writer to be honored by the Bay Area Book Reviewers with the Fred Cody Award for lifetime achievement. Josephine Miles Papers BANC MSS 86/107 c 3 Even after her retirement in 1978, Miles' home on Virginia Street, just north of the campus, remained a center of literary activity and many came to see the teacher, poet, and intensely involved member of the university community. Josephine Miles died of pneumonia at her home in Berkeley on May 12, 1985, at the age of 73. Scope and Content of Collection The Josephine Miles Papers, 1911-1986, consisting of correspondence and literary manuscripts, as well as a small amount of professional, personal, and family papers, are a thorough representation of the varied interests of this highly regarded poet, scholar, and educator. The collection contains extensive correspondence, and includes letters from James Dickey, Robert Duncan, Kenneth Rexroth, Gary Snyder, and Wallace Stegner. Her manuscript material, some never published, includes poetry collections, prose, plays, articles, and individual poems, as well as a large collection of poetry notebooks, spanning her adult life. The bulk of the collection consists chiefly of Miss Miles' literary manuscripts, in various stages of completion, including her first poetry collection, Lines At Intersection, as well as her scholarly analysis, The Ways of the Poem. Individual poems number in the hundreds, while her word count studies, a method she devised to analyze the vocabulary of specific poets, are also included. A small amount of literary business papers and her numerous awards complete her literary career. Miss Miles' teaching career and participation in activities on the University of California, Berkeley campus are also well documented. Numerous awards reflect her strong commitment to teaching as well as her literary talent. Miss Miles' own relationship as a student with the University of California is also fully documented, including her undergraduate and graduate work. A small amount of family correspondence and other personal papers completes the collection.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.

  • Carnegie Institution, Has Selected the Articles in This Book
    (Continued from front flap) This work has been described in many hundreds of scientific papers, ar- ticles, addresses and books: the scientist's way of communicating his findings. By the very nature of the undertaking, the ma- jority of these have been predominantly technical: addressed to the writer's col- leagues in his special field of research. But some have been clothed in language of such clarity and literary quality as to at- tract the interest of far wider audiences. From this group, Dr. Caryl Haskins, president of the Carnegie Institution, has selected the articles in this book. They cover a broad spectrum of science, from viruses to galaxies; from life's beginning to exploration of the cosmos. Included are contributions from many outstanding names in science. There is an introduction by Dr. Haskins. The Carnegie Institution, which has its headquarters in Washington, D. C, currently operates six research centers, each with its own laboratories and staff. They are the Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatories (operated jointly with the California Institute of Technology) in Pasadena, California; the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism and the Geophysi- cal Laboratory, both in Washington, D. C; the Department of Embryology, at the Johns Hopkins University in Balti- more, Maryland; the Department of Plant Biology, at Stanford University, Stanford, California; and the Genetics Research Unit, Cold Spring Harbor, New York.

  • Bloomfield, the Poetry of Interpretation
    The Poetry of Interpretation: Exegetical Lyric after the English Reformation Gabriel Bloomfield Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Gabriel Bloomfield All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Poetry of Interpretation: Exegetical Lyric after the English Reformation Gabriel Bloomfield “The Poetry of Interpretation” writes a pre-history of the twentieth-century phenomenon of close reading by interpreting the devotional poetry of the English Renaissance in the context of the period’s exegetical literatures. The chapters explore a range of hermeneutic methods that allowed preachers and commentators, writing in the wake of the Reformation’s turn to the “literal sense” of scripture, to grapple with and clarify the bible’s “darke texts.” I argue that early modern religious poets—principally Anne Lock, John Donne, George Herbert, William Alabaster, and John Milton—absorbed these same methods into their compositional practices, merging the arts of poesis and exegesis. Consistently skeptical about the very project they undertake, however, these poets became not just practitioners but theorists of interpretive method. Situated at the intersection of religious history, hermeneutics, and poetics, this study develops a new understanding of lyric’s formal operations while intimating an alternative history of the discipline of literary criticism.
