Other than a brief period at the University of Munich during his PhD studies, the whole of Quinn’s postsecondary education took place at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his B.S. in 1894 and his PhD in 1899. The same is true of Quinn’s teaching career; hired by the University as an instructor of Mathematics in 1894, he became instructor of English in 1895 and was appointed Assistant Professor of English in 1904. Quinn would eventually hold the title of Welsh Professor of History and English, and serve as Dean of the College from 1912 to 1922. Born in Philadelphia, he had a special interest in that city’s role in the development of the American theater. His books on American drama were for many decades the standard reference work for university courses on the subject, and his critical biography of Edgar Allan Poe was crucial in elevating Poe’s position from that of an intriguing curiosity to a central figure in American literature. In addition to his scholarly work, Quinn was very active in the theatrical scene of his day, corresponding with important playwrights and theatre professionals, most notably Eugene O’Neill; he was also an avid supporter of amateur drama, both at the University of Pennsylvania and in Philadelphia at large. He died in 1960 in Bala Cynwyd, PA. Scope and Contents This collection contains material related to Quinn’s entire professional life: his correspondence with publishers, playwrights, and theatre professionals; manuscripts (some partial) and notes for four of his books, A History of the American Drama from the Beginning to the Civil War (1927), The Soul of America (1932), Edgar Allan Poe, a Critical Biography (1941), and his collaborative textbook The Literature of the American People (1951), as well as numerous scholarly articles; extensive lecture notes for his classes at the University of Pennsylvania; reviews of contemporary plays; his collection of playbills and libretti; and material related to his research on Edgar Allan Poe and the American realist - Page 4 - Arthur Hobson Quinn papers playwright James A. Herne, including several of Herne’s own manuscripts. Although the collection contains a small amount of personal material belong to Quinn and his daughter Kathleen, there is very little material concerning Quinn’s family or his private life.

Scope and Contents note The bulk of this series is divided into letters addressed to Quinn, alphabetical by sender, and carbon copies of Quinn’s replies, in chronological order. The senders and recipients of these two subseries are more or less the same, and may be used together. If researchers are looking for communications to and from a certain correspondent, they should first look in B. Correspondence to Quinn, then look in the chronological files of A. Correspondence from Quinn. Researchers should search for correspondents in the last name, first name format. There is a subseries specifically dedicated to correspondence between Quinn and the publishers of his books, in chronological order, as well as subseries of notable correspondence with playwrights and theatre professionals, alphabetical by sender. However, there is some overlap between these subseries, and some publishing correspondence and some correspondence with playwrights/theatre professionals may be found in the general correspondence.

  • “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864)
    Chapter Thirty-four “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864) The political tide began turning on August 29 when the Democratic national convention met in Chicago, where Peace Democrats were unwilling to remain in the background. Lincoln had accurately predicted that the delegates “must nominate a Peace Democrat on a war platform, or a War Democrat on a peace platform; and I personally can’t say that I care much which they do.”1 The convention took the latter course, nominating George McClellan for president and adopting a platform which declared the war “four years of failure” and demanded that “immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of the states, or other peaceable means, to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States.” This “peace plank,” the handiwork of Clement L. Vallandigham, implicitly rejected Lincoln’s Niagara Manifesto; the Democrats would require only union as a condition for peace, whereas the Republicans insisted on union and emancipation. The platform also called for the restoration of “the rights of the States 1 Noah Brooks, Washington, D.C., in Lincoln’s Time, ed. Herbert Mitgang (1895; Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1971), 164. 3726 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 34 unimpaired,” which implied the preservation of slavery.2 As McClellan’s running mate, the delegates chose Ohio Congressman George Pendleton, a thoroughgoing opponent of the war who had voted against supplies for the army. As the nation waited day after day to see how McClellan would react, Lincoln wittily opined that Little Mac “must be intrenching.” More seriously, he added that the general “doesn’t know yet whether he will accept or decline.

XX a. žymiausių pasaulio ir Lietuvos diplomatų biografijose šalia žodžio „dip­ lomatas“ esama ir daugiau išvardijimų, pavyzdžiui, „rašytojas ir diplomatas“ ar „diplomatas ir poetas“. Vakarų Europos, Šiaurės ir Pietų Amerikos, taip pat Sovietų Sąjungos (Rusijos), Latvijos, Estijos bei Lietuvos diplomatų biografijos ir jų rašytinis palikimas yra šio straipsnio objektai. Atsisakant itin gausios istoriografijos nuoseklaus vardijimo, straipsnyje mėginama „atrinkti ir suverti“ įvairių šalių diplomatų biografijas vienijančius segmentus: „eseistas“, „no­ velistas“, „rašytojas“, „poetas“, vertėjas“, „Nobelio premijos nominantas“, „Nobelio premijos laureatas“. Toks „vėrinys“ suteikia daug daugiau spalvų stereotipiniam diplomatų paveikslui, kartu jie – ne tik oficialūs atstovai bei kūrėjai, savo tautos kultūros puoselėtojai ir skleidėjai, bet ir pasaulinės kultūros aukso fondo pasididžiavimas.

The Trickle Down Effect: The 1911/1912 Abbey Theatre Tour of America and its impact on early African American Theatre Luke Devlin Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract This thesis will examine the direct and indirect impact the Irish National theatre had upon American theatre in general and the African American theatre in particular. It discusses the relationship between the Irish theatrical movement during the Irish Literary Renaissance and the drama that was produced during the Harlem Renaissance. To do this Rorty’s concepts of the ‘strong poet’ and ‘ironist’ will be utilized. The bleeding and cross contamination of culture, it is contended, was due to the American tour that the Irish Players undertook in 1911/12. The tour, although staged in white theatre houses and attended by a mainly white audience, had a sizeable impact on the American theatrical landscape.
