A Family Affair: Whaling As Native American Household Strategy On Eastern Long Island, New York, Emily Button
Northeast Historical Archaeology
Nineteenth-century Native Americans from the northeastern United States became locally famous as mariners in the commercial whaling fleet. In the struggle to protect their small land bases and maintain their communities, going to sea became part of household practices for cultural and economic survival. From approximately 1800 through 1880, indigenous whaling families from Long Island used wages from commercial whaling to combat the limitations of land, credit, and capital that they faced on and off reservations. Whaling’s opportunities supported household formation and property accumulation among Shinnecock and Montaukett people for three generations, but whaling’s instability and risk meant that these …

Northeast Historical Archaeology
To modern suburbanites, life on a farm may seem hopelessly boring or, alternatively, charming and idyllic. Excavations at the Abraham Staats House in New Jersey’s Raritan Valley, just upriver from New Brunswick, provide a revealing glimpse of the dynamic and contentious lives of 18th- and 19th-century farmers.

Excavations at …

Esthetics Of Dedalus And Bloom: Nineteenth Century Roots, Structural Metaphors, And Resolutions, Marguerite Harkness
Graduate Dissertations and Theses
This study explores James Joyce's use of esthetics as a structuring source in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, especially as those esthetics derive from similarities and references to and analogues from the nineteenth century tradition of English poets, novelists, and essayists which includes Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, Algernon Swinburne, Walter Horatio Pater, Oscar Wilde and William Butler Yeats. Stephen Dedalus and his esthetics, particularly as they appear in Portrait, are inheritors of that tradition. Further, the study will trace through Ulysses the evolution of the esthetic and its counter-traditions in the esthetics represented …
