The writers of Victorian England first tried* to salvage humane culture for a new world of science, democracy, and industrialism. We owe to them and to Pre-Victorians like the prose Coleridge a revival of Christian thought, a new Classical renaissance (this time Greek rather than Latin), an unprecedented mastery of the facts about nature and man and, indeed, the very conception of "culture" that we take for granted in our education and in our social plan- ning. In that age, a consciousness that human life is subject to constant development, a sense of historicity, first spread throughout the general public, and literature for -The first time showed that intimate integration with its sociafback- ground which marks our modern culture.

  • Demonizing Unions: Religious Rhetoric in the Early 20Th
    DEMONIZING UNIONS: RELIGIOUS RHETORIC IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN STRIKE NOVEL A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by David Michael Cosca August 2019 © David Michael Cosca DEMONIZING UNIONS: RELIGIOUS RHETORIC IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN STRIKE NOVEL David Michael Cosca, Ph. D. Cornell University 2019 Demonizing Unions uncovers the significance of a Biblical idiom in American novels portraying violent labor conflicts from the 1910s to the 1930s. I reveal the different ways that Upton Sinclair’s King Coal and The Coal War, Mary Heaton Vorse’s Strike!, and Ruth McKenney’s Industrial Valley employ a Biblical motif both to emphasize the God-like power of Capital over society, and to critique an emergent socio-political faith in business power. The texts I examine demonstrate how it was clear to industrialists in the early 20th century that physical violence was losing its efficacy. Therefore, much of the brunt of the physical conflict in labor struggles could be eased by waging a war of ideas to turn public opinion into an additional, ultimately more powerful, weapon against the potential of organized labor. I argue that in these texts, the besmearing of the discontented workers as violent dupes of “outside agitators,” rather than regular folks with economic grievances, takes on Biblical proportions. In turn, these authors utilize Biblical stories oriented around conceptions of power and hierarchy to illuminate the potential of ordinary humans to effect their own liberation. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH David Cosca grew up in Santa Maria, CA.

  • Reading Locally, Teaching Globally: How Local Stories Can Inspire Students to Ask Universal Questions Jeraldine R
    Teaching American Literature: A Journal of Theory and Practice Summer 2017 (9:1) Reading Locally, Teaching Globally: How Local Stories Can Inspire Students to Ask Universal Questions Jeraldine R. Kraver, University of Northern Colorado Abstract: Literature offers what Santayana calls, "rehearsals for rational living," partly through the questions it poses, including those Mark Edmundson raises in Why Read?: "Who am I?" "What might I become?" "What is the world in which I find myself?" "How might it be changed for the better?" I engage students with such questions by reading locally— choosing texts set in our backyard. In Colorado, the local connections of Upton Sinclair's forgotten novel, King Coal create initial interest; however, the plot and protagonists offer opportunities for students to engage in the imaginative rehearsals required to answer these essential questions. I first encountered Upton Sinclair's King Coal as a graduate student at the University of Kentucky. The novel was integral to the first essay I ever published—a discussion of Sinclair's work alongside Germinal (Emile Zola's naturalistic view of miners in France) and Matewan (John Sayles' a film about the West Virginia coal wars). The thesis of that essay is irrelevant here, but what does matter and does disturb me is that, despite residing just a few hours from Harlan County—where the battle between local miners and Duke Power had been the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary, Harlan County, USA—in a state abutting West Virginia, it never occurred to me to make the connection between the literature of the past and the issues of coal mining in the present.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the U.S. wartime presidential campaign of 1944. In 1944, the United States was at war with the Axis Powers of World War II, and Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, already serving an unprecedented third term as President of the United States, was seeking a fourth. Roosevelt was a very able politician and-combined with his successful performance as wartime commander-in-chief-- waged an effective, and ultimately successful, reelection campaign. Republicans, meanwhile, rallied behind New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Dewey emerged as leader of the GOP at a critical time. Since the coming of the Great Depression -for which Republicans were blamed-the party had suffered a series of political setbacks. Republicans were demoralized, and by the early 1940s, divided into two general national factions: Robert Taft conservatives and Wendell WiIlkie "liberals." Believing his party's chances of victory over the skilled and wily commander-in-chiefto be slim, Dewey nevertheless committed himself to wage a competent and centrist campaign, to hold the Republican Party together, and to transform it into a relevant alternative within the postwar New Deal political order.
