STARK Before beginning my brief talk, I would like to say a word in praise of the splendid work that is being done by the State Historical Society of Missouri, and especially its able secretary and librarian, Mr. Shoemaker, in collecting and pre­ serving historical data which otherwise would be lost or destroyed. The State Historical Society of Missouri, founded in 1898, and taken over by the State in 1899, began its most active work in 1901, just a little more than a third of a century ago. In that time it has taken top rank among such organizations in the United States, and now, I understand, has the second largest membership among similar societies in this country. I will not dwell upon the splendid work accomplished by this Society in fostering interest in Missouri history and in preserving documents of historical value. Its library of printed State official documents, running into tens of thou­ sands of volumes, would alone entitle it to distinction, if there were no other reasons to feel proud of its work. Missourians today are more interested than ever before in the early history of their State, and I attribute that result largely to the efforts of this Society. For a quarter of a century I have been a member of, and familiar with, the work of this organization. I have read the highly instructive and entertaining articles on early Missouri history which have appeared in its quarterly, The Missouri Historical Review. One can scarcely pick up a weekly newspaper or the feature section of a metropolitan daily these days without finding some article on Missouri history, generally with the name of the State Historical Society of Missouri attached as the author or authority for the historical information. And I want to say that these articles are always reliable, full of interesting facts, and put *An address delivered by Governor Lloyd C. Stark at the annual banquet of the State Historical Society of Missouri, held in Columbia on April 24,1937. (367) 368 MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW together with the literary skill of a master craftsman, which makes them both readable and instructive. Not only that, but there is in every article put forth by this Society, so far as my information goes, an evidence not only of painstaking care but of real devotion to, and love for, the State and its history. I cannot leave this phase of the subject without paying a tribute to the work of our late friend, George A. Mahan, for many years president of the State Historical Society of Missouri. Under his administration the Society reached a plane of usefulness and service not exceeded by any similar organization in the United States—and this despite limited financial resources and a continual struggle for existence. The Society has amply demonstrated the necessity for its existence and is entitled to generous support from the people of the State through the coming years. Missouri has reached a point in its history, where, to use a current expression, it might be said that "the first one hun­ dred years are the hardest." Every few days I receive an invi­ tation to take part in some centennial celebration. Today it may be the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of a county or city; tomorrow, a church or college. My own family came to Missouri from Kentucky 121 years ago and literally "grew up" with the trans-Mississippi country. There are scores of other families of equal or longer residence in this chosen land. From their experiences, written or oral, there is a wealth of historical material available, which it is the province of the State Historical Society of Missouri to preserve. The pioneers, it seems, were not always interested in pre­ serving a record of their activities for the benefit of posterity. They were engaged in a bitter struggle for existence; a struggle against nature, against hostile Indians, and with none of what we consider modern conveniences for living. From that struggle they emerged strong and vigorous, often with the characters and personalities of supermen, but the terrific struggle gave them but little time for recording matters which we now find of great historic value. In gathering up the scattered threads of Missouri's early and more recent history, you are engaged in a most praise- LLOYD C. STARK Governor of the State of Missouri HISTORY IN THE MAKING 369 worthy undertaking. In preserving for future generations the story of our times you have an equally fertile and attrac­ tive field.

  • Identity, Community, and Place in German-American Narratives from 1750S-1850S
    Transnational Transports: Identity, Community, and Place in German-American Narratives from 1750s-1850s DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah Ann Starnes, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Jared Gardner, Advisor Professor Susan Williams Professor Chadwick Allen Copyright by Rebekah Ann Starnes 2012 Abstract German-Americans were the most populous and influential non-British immigrant group in the British colonies and in the early nation. In order to fully understand early American history, culture, and literature, it is crucial to explore the literature produced by this group. Nonetheless, the sheer number of literary works produced by Germans in America makes such a task as difficult as it is important. This project participates in the recovery of German-American literature by focusing on German-language stories written in and about American contact zones. I begin in eighteenth-century Pennsylvania and follow new waves of immigrants south and west in the nineteenth century. I argue that German-American writers used transnational genres (the captivity narrative, the frontier romance, and the urban mystery novel) to articulate the transports and traumas of their transnational experiences. In Chapters 1 and 2, I look at German-language captivity narratives of the French and Indian War. I argue that writing captivity narratives allowed German settlers to negotiate their culturally liminal place in Pennsylvania as a racially privileged but culturally marginalized group, to come to terms with the transnational traumas of captivity and religious persecution, and to define and police constantly shifting communal boundaries.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO CENSORSHIP, SECRETS, CORRESPONDENCES, AND FREEDOM: THE LITERARY PUBLIC IN THE VIENNESE BIEDERMEIER A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVISION OF THE HUMANITIES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF GERMANIC STUDIES BY TAMARA KAMATOVIC CHICAGO, ILLINOIS AUGUST 2020 For Mathilda Ildikó Acknowledgments My introduction to German literature was through Bertolt Brecht’s dramas and poems. His poem “An die Nachgeborenen” is one of the reasons I decided to spend more time reading German, in particular the last verses: Ach, wir Die wir den Boden bereiten wollten für Freundlichkeit Konnten selber nicht freundlich sein. Ihr aber, wenn es so weit sein wird Dass der Mensch dem Menschen ein Helfer ist Gedenkt unserer Mit Nachsicht.1 These lines were written in the hope that future generations would understand that relations of friendship are founded on acts of solidarity. I have been fortunate to have many friends during my time as a graduate student at the University of Chicago, and this dissertation would not have been possible without them. I would like to begin by thanking my committee: David Wellbery, Thomas Pavel, and John Boyer. David Wellbery has been a magnanimous reader and a patient and generous listener. His graduate student seminars and advising formed the ground from which this dissertation and many other ideas have sprung. In other words, he has laid a coherent foundation for reading that has brought me closer to understanding what is important in a literary text, and he has given me a sense of how to take these texts apart and put them back together.

  • Charles Sealsfield, 'The Greatest American Author
    248 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY library continues and our incomparable Miss Clarke has this year finished classifying the pre-1821 hymnology collection, booksellers* catalogues and is now hard in the morass of publications of the various tract societies. Mrs. Robbins manages to catalogue current accessions, although little is being done at present to reduce the bulk of uncatalogued, mid-nineteenth century pamphlets. We are also faced with a bindery problem. We have a very large number of leather bindings, many of them important examples of this American craft, in desperate need of repair before total disintegration takes place. A program should be initiated to adequately care for this area of our collections, but an early solution is complicated by our present bindery staff, which in skill and dispatch is inadequate. Mr. Shipton has reported on steps which are being made to rectify the bindery problem, at least in part. Respectfully submitted, Marcus A. McCorison Charles Sealsfield, Greatest American Author^^ BY KARL J. R. ARNDT HE title of my paper is by no means original. It was first Tused by Professor Theodor Mundt in a series of lectures at the University of Berlin and then printed in Berlin in a volume continuing Friedrich von Schlegel's History of Literature. In this form it attracted the attention of the editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser who wrote an article so entitled in the March 29, 1844, issue of his paper. The article started a national, yes an inter- national controversy about the author so complimented as well as a search for the writer bearing that name.

  • A Century of Sealsfield Scholarship
    A CENTURY OF SEALSFIELD SCHOLARSHIP By ADOLF E. SCHROEDER In 1939, writing " Ein Gedenkblatt zu Charles Sealsfields 75. Todestag: Der literarische Kolumbus der 'Neuen Welt,',"1 the University of Vienna's distinguished Germanist, Professor Eduard Castle, predicted the imminent rediscovery of the writer characterized by Heinrich Laube in 1835 as "Der neue Unbekannte,"2 and subsequently as "Der Grosse Unbekannte der deutschen Literatur,"3 by those critics and reviewers who considered his ethnographical novels of America comparable to Scott's historical novels: in conception and vision, at least, and in their grasp of the American char- acter and experience, if not always in actual realization. Castle's optimism was no doubt founded upon the plans then underway for the celebration, in 1943, of Sealsfield's one hundred and fiftieth birthday. The first World War had resulted in the suspension of arrangements to publish a definitive edition of Sealsfield's works in the Bibliothek deutscher Schriftsteller aus Böhmen under the general editorship of Otto Heller. Com- missioned in 1907 to prepare a "historisch-kritische Ausgabe," Heller re- ported that two of a projected eighteen volumes were ready for the printer when the war broke out, and the subsidies pledged by the Bohemian parliament to support the undertaking were annulled. In 1939 he expressed the hope that the "frustrated design of 1907"4 would still materialize under American auspices, but he died two years later without seeing his hope realized. Castle, with the dedicated assistance of a private Sealsfield scholar and collector, Albert Kresse of Stuttgart, acquired much of the material accumulated for the Heller edition, and with the aid of a former student, Dr.
