Geary With a comment by Otto Gerhard Oexle ANNUAL LECTURE 1995 German Historical Institute Washington, D.C. MEDIEVAL GERMANY IN AMERICA Patrick J. Geary With a comment by Otto Gerhard Oexle © 1996 by German Historical Institute Annual Lecture Series, No. 8 Edited by Detlef Junker, Petra Marquardt-Bigman and Janine S. Micunck ______________ GERMAN HISTORICAL INSTITUTE 1607 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20009, USA MEDIEVAL GERMANY IN AMERICA Patrick J. Geary WAS THERE ANYTHING TO LEARN? American Historians and German Medieval Scholarship: A Comment Otto Gerhard Oexle Preface For the first time since the founding of the German Historical Institute in 1987, the topic of the 1995 Annual Lecture addressed the German Middle Ages—as perceived through American eyes. We invited two distinguished scholars from the United States and Germany, and their presentations made this evening a truly special event. In his lecture, Professor Patrick J. Geary traced the influence of German medievalists, especially their methods and historiography, on American academia. During the second half of the nineteenth century, German scholarship came to be regarded as an exemplary model, owing to its scholarly excellence. However, within a few decades, German medieval scholarship's function as a model for American academics declined. Professor Geary gave an engaging account of this development and offered at the same time an absorbing analysis of how the perception and interpreta- tion of German medieval history by American historians were shaped by their attempt to explain American history.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

CHARLES DARWIN, BARTHOLOMEW SULIVAN, AND THE GEOLOGY OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS: UNFINISHED BUSINESS FROM AN ASYMMETRIC PARTNERSHIP P. STONE1 and A. W. A. RUSHTON2, 3 1British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3LA, UK. [email protected] 2Department of Palaeontology, The Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, UK. [email protected] 3British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK. ABSTRACT When in 1846 Charles Darwin published the first account of the geology of the Falkland Islands he drew on his experiences in 1833 and 1834 during the voyage of HMS Beagle, and on collections made at that time by the ship’s Assistant Surgeon, William Kent. Aboard HMS Beagle Darwin struck up a particular friendship with Lieutenant Bartholomew Sulivan who subsequently revisited the Falklands between 1838 and 1845 in command of HMS Arrow and HMS Philomel. The surviving letters that Sulivan wrote to Darwin during those voyages contain a wealth of additional geological observations. Sulivan also dispatched additional geological specimens to Darwin, one of which can be identified in the extant Beagle collection. Darwin utilised some of Sulivan’s structural geology sketches in his 1846 paper, but otherwise the detailed and accurate observations were only partly and ambiguously recorded there in a footnote. Sulivan described fold and cleavage relationships, made the first record of intrusive dolerite dykes in the Falkland Islands, and recorded landforms and lithologies that could have led to the early recognition of both Quaternary and Late Palaeozoic glaciation in the Falklands.

  • LA TEBAIDE VOLGARIZZATA DI CORNELIO BENTIVOGLIO D’ARAGONA Renzo Rabboni Università Degli Studi Di Udine
    RINNOVAMENTO EPICO: LA TEBAIDE VOLGARIZZATA DI CORNELIO BENTIVOGLIO D’ARAGONA Renzo Rabboni Università degli Studi di Udine RIASSUNTO: Il contributo verte sul ruolo di riformatore di Cornelio Bentivoglio d’Aragona, principe della Chiesa, letterato e protettore di letterati. Dopo aver animato la riscossa del teatro italiano, l’alto prelato scese in lizza personalmente contro le critiche mosse dai francesi all’epica italiana con la traduzione della Tebaide di Stazio. Il volgarizzamento riproponeva il modello tassiano e rinascimentale, ma aggiornato secondo un gusto che rimanda, da un lato, al debito con la poetica del sublime pseudo-longiniano; dall’altro, all’attualità politica, con una lettura “ideologica” del poema antico, che allude alle lacerazioni operate nel corpo della cristianità dalle dottrine riformate: che Bentivoglio aveva fronteggiato direttamente negli anni della sua militanza di nunzio pontificio a Parigi. PAROLE CHIAVE: Giansenismo, Tasso, sublime, sensismo, Pier Jacopo Martelli ABSTRACT: The contribution focuses on the role of reformer of Cornelio Bentivoglio of Aragon, prince of the Church, scholar and protector of writers. The high prelate from Ferrara, after having animated the revival of the Italian theater, got into personal competition against the criticisms made by the French to the Italian epic with the translation of the Thebaid of Statius. The vulgarization re-proposed the Tasso and Renaissance model but updated to a contemporary taste, that refers, on the one hand, the debt with the poetics of the sublime pseudo-Longinian; on the other, to political current events, because of an “ideological” reading of the ancient poem, which alludes to the lacerations made in the body of Christianity by the reformed doctrines.

  • And Humanist Learning in Tudor England a Thesis
    ROGER ASCHAM AND HUMANIST LEARNING IN TUDOR ENGLAND by HARRAL E. LANDRY,, A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the Graduate School of the University of Alabama UNIVERSITY, ALABAMA 1958 PREFACE Roger Ascham was probably the greatest teacher in Elizabethan England. The period is graced with the name of his most famous and most spectacular pupil - Elizabeth Tu.dor. His life was dedicated, if indeed to anything, to the Greek ideal of "a sound mind in a sound body •." In addition, he reached a zenith as probably the greatest Latin letter writer in England. This achievement is all the more remarkable since his era was one of scholarship in the language of ancient Latium and of Rome. Yet, he is without a biographer, except in short sketches prefacing the editions of his writings. The purpose of this thesis is to collect some of the thoroughly scattered material and look a little more close­ ly at Ascham as a student, scholar, and particularly as a teacher. Every effort has been made to work with source material. Old English spellings have been modernized to provide continuity, uniformity, and smoothness of reading. Exceptions will be found in original book titles. Making a study of ideas is like steering a tricky passage between the perils of Scylla and Charybdis. In narrow straits the channel is often both,deep and indeter­ minate. The navigation of such a passage, even on my unlearned and far from comprehensive level, would have been impossible were it not for the generous assistance of a number of people.

THE Council, in laying their annual statement of the affairs of the Society before its Members, beg to express their opinion that it ewnces a continuance of the same satisfactory state to which, on former occasions, they have directed attention. The number of Fellows, it is true, has suffered a diminution of nine; but this is mainly to be attributed to the numerous deaths which have occurred since the last anniversary. The Society from this cause has lost twenty-six ordinary Fellows, and seven have resigned during the same period, making a loss of thirty-three. Twenty new Fellows have been elected in the past year, and four elected ill the previous year have paid their subscriptions in this ; making, in all, 24, which, deducted from 33, leaves a loss to the Society of 9, as Before stated. One Foreign Member has died, and one has been elected during the year. The total number of the Society at the close of 1854 was 884, and 875 at the dose of 1855. The expenditure during 1855 has exceeded the income by s 128. 4d. : but in the income is included ~191 12,. 9d., the balance at the beginning of the year. The actual excess of expenditure is, therefore, ~s 58. ld., which has principally been occasioned by increased expenditure on the Quarterly Journal and YOL.

    Military History Anniversaries 16 thru 30 June Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests Jun 16 1832 – Native Americans: Battle of Burr Oak Grove » The Battle is either of two minor battles, or skirmishes, fought during the Black Hawk War in U.S. state of Illinois, in present-day Stephenson County at and near Kellogg's Grove. In the first skirmish, also known as the Battle of Burr Oak Grove, on 16 JUN, Illinois militia forces fought against a band of at least 80 Native Americans. During the battle three militia men under the command of Adam W. Snyder were killed in action. The second battle occurred nine days later when a larger Sauk and Fox band, under the command of Black Hawk, attacked Major John Dement's detachment and killed five militia men. The second battle is known for playing a role in Abraham Lincoln's short career in the Illinois militia. He was part of a relief company sent to the grove on 26 JUN and he helped bury the dead. He made a statement about the incident years later which was recollected in Carl Sandburg's writing, among others. Sources conflict about who actually won the battle; it has been called a "rout" for both sides. The battle was the last on Illinois soil during the Black Hawk War. Jun 16 1861 – Civil War: Battle of Secessionville » A Union attempt to capture Charleston, South Carolina, is thwarted when the Confederates turn back an attack at Secessionville, just south of the city on James Island.
