  • Tasker H. Bliss and the Creation of the Modern American Army, 1853-1930
    TASKER H. BLISS AND THE CREATION OF THE MODERN AMERICAN ARMY, 1853-1930 _________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Thomas R. English December 2014 Examining Committee Members: Richard Immerman, Advisory Chair, Temple University, Department of History Gregory J. W. Urwin, Temple University, Department of History Jay Lockenour, Temple University, Department of History Daniel W. Crofts, External Member,The College of New Jersey, Department of History, Emeritus ii © Copyright 2014 By Thomas R. English All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT A commonplace observation among historians describes one or another historical period as a time of “transition” or a particular person as a “transitional figure.” In the history of the United States Army, scholars apply those terms especially to the late- nineteenth century “Old Army.” This categorization has helped create a shelf of biographies of some of the transitional figures of the era. Leonard Wood, John J. Pershing, Robert Lee Bullard, William Harding Carter, Henry Tureman Allen, Nelson Appleton Miles and John McCallister Schofield have all been the subject of excellent scholarly works. Tasker Howard Bliss has remained among the missing in that group, in spite of the important activities that marked his career and the wealth of source materials he left behind. Bliss belongs on that list because, like the others, his career demonstrates the changing nature of the U.S. Army between 1871 and 1917. Bliss served for the most part in administrative positions in the United States and in the American overseas empire.

  • Scenes from the Old Testament Susanna and the Elders 6 March
    Scenes from the Old Testament Susanna and the Elders 6 March 2016 The Dean of St Edmundsbury Daniel 13 The man that looks on glass, on it may stay his eye Or if he pleaseth, through it pass, and then the heavens espy. The stained glass in St Edmundsbury Cathedral is largely Victorian – good quality, of course; but not the old mediaeval images that throughout Suffolk were destroyed by William Dowsing and his iconoclastic crew in the seventeenth century. They rampaged through village and church, smashing that which was idolatrous to their eyes, seeking the purity of clear glass, unadulterated by corrupting images, to mediate the pure gospel, now revealed in plain English. At the Cathedral one window remains of mediaeval origin. You’ll see it as you enter, straight ahead of you, in the South West corner. The bottom half shows the story of Susanna and the elders, or judges, who falsely accuse her of adultery. It’s a story from the thirteenth chapter of Daniel, which you’ll find in the Apocrypha, that selection of books that isn’t found in Protestant versions – literally, the hidden Bible. Nevertheless, it’s a story that is familiar throughout the history of visual art. It gave artists the opportunity to please their patrons, after all, with a biblical character, a very delicate woman and beauteous to behold, suggestively, provocatively portrayed, washing herself, naked. A virtuous, married woman; her virtue and unattainability intensifying her allure, of course. A story for the responsible elders of any age: a reminder to keep their attention pure, even as they are titivated; not to succumb to the temptations of lust, of easy gratification.

Schade, Ph.D. ii Abstract In my dissertation “Atomic Apocalypse – ‘Nuclear Fiction’ in German Literature and Culture,” I investigate the portrayal of the nuclear age and its most dreaded fantasy, the nuclear apocalypse, in German fictionalizations and cultural writings. My selection contains texts of disparate natures and provenance: about fifty plays, novels, audio plays, treatises, narratives, films from 1946 to 2009. I regard these texts as a genre of their own and attempt a description of the various elements that tie them together. The fascination with the end of the world that high and popular culture have developed after 9/11 partially originated from the tradition of nuclear fiction since 1945. The Cold War has produced strong and lasting apocalyptic images in German culture that reject the traditional biblical apocalypse and that draw up a new worldview. In particular, German nuclear fiction sees the atomic apocalypse as another step towards the technical facilitation of genocide, preceded by the Jewish Holocaust with its gas chambers and ovens.

  • INTRODUCTION Toward the Middle of the Third Century , Julius Africanus Sent a Letter to Origen, Chiding the Great Scholar for Em
    chapter one INTRODUCTION Toward the middle of the third century ce, Julius Africanus sent a letter to Origen, chiding the great scholar for employing the Story of Susanna in debate with another Christian.1 Though the two Greek versions of Daniel used by Christians at the time both included Susanna, Africanus points to several problems with the story, including its absence from the Jewish ver- sion of Daniel and the presence of Greek puns in the story, which proves that it is not a translation from Hebrew.2 For these reasons, according to Africanus, Christians should reject the story as a genuine part of Daniel; indeed, they should consider it spurious (κίβδηλος) and a recent fabrication (νεωτερικὸς καὶ πεπλασµένος; §2).3 Origen responds with a detailed refuta- tion of each of Africanus’ points, especially the suggestions that the Chris- tian OT should mimic the Jewish Bible and that the Story of Susanna could not have been written in Hebrew. The sophisticated argumentation of these two early Christian biblical critics has impressed their modern counter- parts: Walther Reichardt hailed Africanus’ letter as a model of philological research, while Gilles Dorival declared Origen’s letter to have few rivals in the history of biblical studies.4 1 The most recent edition of the correspondence is N. de Lange (ed.), Origène, La Lettre à Africanus sur l’histoire de Suzanne, in Origène, Philocalie, 1–20: Sur les Écritures, SC 302 (ed. M. Harl; Paris, 1983), 469–578; on the date of the correspondence, see pp. 498–501. For a biographical sketch of Africanus, see Iulius Africanus Chronographiae: The Extant Fragments, GCS NF 15 (ed.
