She spent cany weeks in New Orleans studying the material in the Tulane Stuart Collections and in interviewing, relatives and friends of It s . Stuart. She visited : arks- 4 AX viile, hcnree, Shreveport, and several places in Arkansas to interview other friends and connections of Mrs. Stuart. She secured help from books and documents in the Louisiana library Commission, the L. 3. M. Library, the University of Virginia Library, the Northampton Mil ram.-, the New York Public Library, the Surrogate Court cf New York, the nvoyalles Parish Courthouse, the Ouachita Parish Courthouse, the Hempstead County Courthouse. She wrote to many people who had itnown .rs . Stuart or her family. The research proved tnat from the time of the publication cf Irs. Stuart’s first stories in 1SS8 until her aeath in 1917 she was one of the cost, popular ana well—levee ..omen ever to live in the United States. Per a period cf t.-.eaty-nine years sne was in public' favor both as a creative v;riter and as a reader. 3ccm after her death in 1917 her name bee are ob­ scured. She, more than ::_nny cf her contemporaries, suffered from tme re— j * action against the semti:mmt^ra in the y^ars fcilcwing ..c«rlc far I. v Upon the evidence or Mrs. Stuart*s life and works, the biographer concluded that 2It s • Stuart had soraething of genius in her personality and that, as Joel Chandler Harris pointed out, she cane nearer the heart of the Negro than any of her contemporaries. People loved her stories, her poems, her interpretations of her work. New editions of books such as A Golden Heading ana Other Pales, Sonny, Moriah*s Mourning, Plantation Songs, Daddy Do—Funny*s Hisdom Jingles would find readers today. Antho­ logists should include in their books sore of her poems and Negro stories. vi CHAPTER I BACKGROUNDS Ruth UcEnery Stuart was an American writer who was well known throughout the United States from the time of the publication of her first story in 1888 until her death in 1917. She w^s representative of the genteel tradition and was one of the interpreters of life in the South. Her ancestors— the Rouths, the Stirlings, and the I'cEnerys— were among the most distinguished families of the lower Mississippi valley. The Rouths were from Wales and possessed the characteristics of the Celts, including the Celtic flair for letters. For centuries their has been associated with Oxford University, England, one of the family having been president of Magdalene College. Another, who held a chair of literature in the university, cade an interlinear translation of Virgil, a volume still in use. “The Reminiscences of The Routh Family," written about 1898 by Mrs. Mary lane Pope Robertson, widow of Colonel Edward 7ihite Robertson, tells the story of the family. The ones who came to America were two brothers and a sister. After reaching Virginia, they moved westward to Mississippi. Jeremiah, Job, and Mary Routh came to Natchez, Mississippi, then Walnut Hills, from Virginia about the year. 1776. They moved all their household effects, etc., on flat boats.... Job, being more of a money-making turn, bought his brother*s interests and accumulated a large fortune. Uncle Job was noted in his family for thrift and saving almost to penuriousness. Upon one occasion it is told by an eye witness that he lost a penny somewhere in his yard. A search was 1 cxzsediately instituted; every child turned out to 2 search; and the yard was diligently swept and the joy was great when it was found.• • • Hr. Job Routh reared a large family, all of whom were prominent and wealthy. A granddaughter of Job Routh was Sarah Ann Dorsey, a cultured person whose educational advantages were unusual. She studied ancient and m o d e m languages, music, and art and even traveled in Europe. On her return she began to write sentimental novels. Her literary work, however, did not interfere with her duties in her home; she had a repu­ tation as a charming hostess. During the Y/ar Between the States, when her home was burned, she fled to Texas to serve as a nurse in a Confed- v v ‘ crate hospital. After 1875, the year of her husband*s death, she made her home at Beauvoir, her estate near Biloxi, Mississippi. There she continued her writing and aided Jefferson Davis in the preparation of his booh The Rise and Fail of the Confederate Government. Because she felt a strong admiration for Mr. Davis, she bequeathed to him Beauvoir and her three plantations. Although her family shared her sympathy for f him, they felt indignant concerning her bequest, for the war had im­ poverished them. Besides Mrs. Dorsey, another important descendant of Job Routh was his great granddaughter, the wife of Murphy J. Foster, Governor^of Louisiana from 1892—1900.and later United States senator. "The Renini sconce8 of the Routh Family," a family document in the possession of Miss Sarah Stirling McKnery, New Orleans. 3 o Jeremiah Routh, the brother of Job South, moved from Natchez to a plantation on Red Hiver. He and his wife, Mary Miller, had a large family, whom they did not live to rear. The children were taken by their Uncle Job and Aunt Nary South, who had married Isaac Johnson, a young man sent over to Natchez by a mercantile firm in Liverpool, England. One of the girls, Mary South, who became the grandmother of Routh LIcEnery Stuart, found in her auntvs home the most pleasant influences.

    1 “A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.” - - Proverbs 11:1 ​ May 20, 2020 Parents and Students, Because the administration has directed that no official project or writing assignment be attached to summer reading, I am not changing it much from what I had last year for Honors and AP students.. Honestly, if your student is reading anything and enjoying it, that’s great! The connection between reading and academic success -- both now and on standardized tests, writing, and post secondary learning -- is overwhelming! I recommend (and this is advice I have to take myself!) branching out from one’s favorite genre for variety and to discover additional types of writing to enjoy. Other than recommendations from people you know who have studied or read the works, an easy option for choosing a book is to look up an excerpt of the novel/drama. That way, you know the level of difficulty as well as the author’s style and language. Almost all good literature contains less-than-savory elements -- language, sinful behavior, sometimes even an overt or subtle skewed world view. With that disclaimer comes the fact that most, if not all good literature that I have read doesn’t glorify sin but punishes it in some way. Christian family review sites also exist, including the following: Redeemed Reader, Focus on the Family, Plugged In, and Common Sense Media. Below is a lengthy article by Bob Jones University that deals with potentially objectionable material from a biblical worldview in a thorough manner.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 COLLECTING OLD MASTERS FOR NEW YORK: HENRY GURDON MARQUAND AND THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART Esmée Quodbach The subject of this article is the collector Henry Gurdon Marquand (1819–1902), banker and railroad financier, and a noted member of the burgeoning class of newly prosperous business magnates of Gilded Age New York. An exception- ally civic-minded patron, Marquand set out in the early 1880s to assemble a group of first-class Old Master paintings for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This paper explores Marquand’s acquisitions, especially the Flemish and Dutch paintings he bought. Focusing on Marquand’s 1889 gift of thirty-seven Old Masters to the museum—the first gift of its kind—this paper also considers Marquand’s aspirations, not only as a major private collector but especially as a leading donor to the institution, whose second president he became in 1889.

Early last century, industrial piers stretched up the Hudson River from the Battery to the Upper West Side. Most respectable New Yorkers shied away from the working waterfront and therefore lived toward the middle of the island. But in today’s postindustrial Manhattan, the West Side is a highly desirable—and expensive— place, home to residential developments catering to the well-to-do who want to live close to the waterfront and its now recreational piers.

    Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook Prepared by The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History “Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have so dramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideas we can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they move toward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulate what their rights should be. From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that we needed in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and business opportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, we have seen many breathtaking changes. Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts because they stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspaper coverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there are countless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, but remarkable, acts of citizenship.” —- Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 15, 1999 Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook prepared by the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.

  • Kate Chopin Biography.Pdf
    Chopin, Kate, 1851-1904 from Literature Online biography Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was an American writer who came to prominence at the fin de siècle with her short stories, many about Louisiana life. She was admired in her lifetime chiefly for her 'charming' depictions of 'local colour', and the work now regarded as her great achievement, the novel The Awakening (1899), was accorded a decidedly mixed reception. Since the late 1960s this novel has come to be regarded as a classic of American literature and is a staple of literature and women's studies university courses, though it is not yet very familiar to general readers. Bearing in mind The Awakening , the story of a woman's sense of oppression in conventional marriage and her burning desire (not uncomplicatedly fulfilled) for liberty, modern critics tend to value most highly those of Chopin's short stories that, in her lifetime, were regarded as distasteful and even unrespectable, dealing with sexuality and the less than fairytale aspects of relationships between the sexes. Chopin was not a campaigning author, for all that she foregrounded socially uncomfortable issues in a way that was considered 'advanced': though some of her characters chafe at conventional expectations, she carefully presented herself as a mother and homemaker, writing only in the interstices of domestic responsibilities; and her treatment of class and race is not always as enlightened as her modern critics would like. Sue Asbee has commented that 'there is a sense in which it is disappointing that such a forward- thinking woman campaigned for nobody's rights'.

OF HISTORY, S.N. SINHA COLLEGE, JEHANABAD 1 James I (1603 - 1625) James VI King of Scotland was the great grandson of Margaret, the daughter of HenryVIII of England. The accession of James Stuart to the English throne as James I, on the death of Elizabeth in 1603, brought about the peaceful union of the rival monarchies of England and Scotland. He tried to make the union of two very different lands complete by assuming the title of King of Great Britain. There was peace in England and people did not fear any danger from a disputed succession inside the country or from external aggression. So strong monarchy was not considered essential for the welfare of the people. Even towards the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, Parliament began to oppose the royal will. The attempts of the new king to make the two lands to have one parliament, one church and one law failed miserably, because the Scots were not interested in the union and the English Parliament did not co- operate with him for it did not trust him. James I had experience as the King of Scotland and he knew very well the history of the absolute rule of the Tudor monarchs in England. So he was determined to rule with absolute powers. He believed in the theory of Divine Right Kingship and his own accession to the English throne was sanctioned by this theory.
