Review Of Virtue And The Veil Of Illusion: Generic Innovation And The Pedagogical Project In Eighteenth-Century Literature By Dorothea Von Mücke, Priscilla A. Hayden-Roy

German Language and Literature Papers

This original and wide-ranging comparative study examines how emergent literary genres in eighteenth-century Europe participate in the pedagogical project of male subject formation. The author focuses on the intersection of semiotics, pedagogy and aesthetics, and demonstrates how changing models of signification give rise to new strategies in subject formation. Drawing on Foucault, she identifies two major semiotic paradigm shifts in the eighteenth century: first the "transparency model" of the mid-eighteenth century, which presumes that the sign is an ideal representation of the signified; and second the "intransitive" or "self-referential model" that emerges late in the century. With each of these …

Simon Sulzer And The Consequences Of The 1563 Strasbourg Consensus In Switzerland, Amy Nelson Burnett

Department of History: Faculty Publications

From 1561 to 1563 the Strasbourg church was wracked by a bitter controversy between Johann Marbach, leader of the city's clergy, and Girolamo Zanchi, professor at the Strasbourg Academy. The controversy was finally resolved in March 1563, when the two parties signed a consensus on the disputed issues of predestination, the perseverance of the saints, and the Lord's Supper. Modern historians of doctrine generally discuss the Strasbourg controversy and the 1563 Consensus in the context of the struggle of later sixteenth-century Lutheranism to define orthodoxy, and they stress that the disagreement focused not on the sacrament of the altar but …

His And Hers: Male And Female Anatomy In Anatomy Texts For U.S. Medical Students, 1890–1989, Susan C. Lawrence, Kae Bendixen

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Much recent work on gender has emphasized how ideas of male and female differences underlie cultural assumptions about appropriate social relations, behavior, institutions and knowledge. This study focuses on the specific ways that anatomy texts for medical students in the United States have presented male and female anatomy between 1890 and 1989, using both numerical data and analysis of textual examples from 31 texts. Despite public debates about gender representation, anatomy texts have generally remained consistent in how “the” human body has been depicted in this century. In illustrations, vocabulary and syntax, these texts primarily depict male anatomy as the …

Review Of Maria Perry, The Word Of A Prince: A Life Of Elizabeth I From Contemporary Documents, Carole Levin

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Beautifully put together with magnificent illustrations. Perry's work has more the feel of a coffee-table book. What Perry, a professional actress, has done is to gather well chosen documents and string them together into a biographical narrative. Perry's great contribution is giving the reader Elizabeth in her own voice. Perry decided to do the book after performing "The Speeches of Queen Elizabeth I," and her enthusiasm for Elizabeth is obvious. ... Some of Perry's assumptions about Elizabeth are questionable and suggest pop psychology. I am not convinced that Elizabeth wept easily, nor would I characterize her as a "gentle creature" …

A Response To Mohan Limaye, Barbara Couture

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Mohan Limaye presents two important concerns in his insightful response to my article [“Categorizing Professional Discourse: Engineering, Administrative, and Technical/Professional Writing,” Journal of Business and Technical Communication 6:1 (January 1992), pp. 5–37]. I wish to comment on these points and also to submit a correction to the text of the article.

Ade To Meet In Williamsburg, Virginia: The Association For Documentary Editing, Annual Meeting Program, 15-17 October 1992, Colonial Williamsburg Woodlands, Williamsburg, Virginia

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

The 1992 meeting of the Association for Documentary Editing will be held in Williamsburg, Virginia, from Thursday 15 October through Saturday 17 October. From 1689 to 1780 Williamsburg was the capital of Virginia, Great Britain's largest colony in the New World. Thanks to the imaginative vision of the Reverend W. A. R. Goodwin and the creative philanthropy of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., this former "seat of empire" has been restored to its eighteenth-century appearance.

The Theory Of Editing: Review Of Devils And Angels: Textual Editing And Literary Theory. Edited By Philip Cohen., Charles L. Ross

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

In what ways does literary theory, as filtered through textual criticism, enter into editorial practice? That is the central question addressed in this stimulating collection of essays by editors, textual critics, and literary theorists. The critical discourse is diverse. Several contributors, sounding like philosophers or semioticians, mull over the "ontology" of the work; others explore the rhetorics of different sorts of edition. Some promote sociological, new historical, or German hermeneutical approaches to "text-construction," while others refine the more traditional conception of the eclectic text based on an author's final intentions. Almost all share Hans Walter Gabler's belief that there is …

Penance Or Pedophilia: Mark Twain And The Aquarium: Review Of Mark Twain's Aquarium: The Samuel Clemens Angelfish Correspondence, 1905-1910. Edited By John Cooley., J. Kent Calder

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

This world comes to life in this useful new volume edited by John Cooley, a professor of English at Western Michigan University. Cooley learned of the Aquarium Club through letters in the possession of his second cousin, Marjorie Breckenridge, an M.A., and his ensuing fascination led him to the Mark Twain Papers at the University of California, Berkeley, and to other significant Twain collections around the country in such repositories as New York Public Library, Columbia University Library, Huntington Library, and Yale University Library. The resulting compilation of approximately three hundred entries represents "nearly every known written communication between Samuel …

A Message From The President, David R. Chesnutt

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Response to the call for support and the dues notices which Harriet Simon sent out at the first of the year has been great! More than forty members renewed at increased levels and many of you made additional contributions. John Kaminski reports having sent out more than 100 copies of Beth Luey's Editing Documents and Texts while Dennis Conrad notes that contributions totaled more than $2,000. The membership list stands at 475, though a number of second notices had to be sent out this summer. In short, we weathered another financial crisis.

Project News--September 1992

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

When copies of new editions are not available for inspection, the editors of Documentary Editing attempt to verify the accuracy of listings for the "Project News" section by checking sources such as publishers' catalogs, Books in Print, or the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) network. These sources, however, are sometimes incomplete or inaccurate. Project editors can help to assure that their volumes are accurately reported by sending publication information or review copies to Documentary Editing.

Too Much Of A Good Thing?: Review Of The Papers Of George Washington, W. W. Abbot And Dorothy Twohig, Editors; Philander D. Chase And Beverly H. Runge, Associate Editors. Revolutionary War Series, Volume 4: April-June I776, Philander D. Chase, Editor., Charles H. Lesser

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

One hundred and seventy-two pages into this exemplar of many of the best aspects of contemporary historical documentary editing, Philander D. Chase prints George Washington's 29 April 1776 letter to his brother John Augustine Washington. His last letter to his brother had been penned on 31 March, the last date included in the previous volume, and thus this renewal of the correspondence afforded the opportunity to summarize the activities of the first month encompassed in this book's covers. At the beginning of the month, General Washington had been preparing to leave Cambridge for New York after a successful siege had …

Stagg, Jeanne K. Cross, And Susan Holbrook Perdue., Michael E. Steven

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Few would imagine James Madison as the dreamy, tongue-tied romantic type, yet this description of the Father of the Constitution during his courtship of Dolley Payne Todd is but one of many wonderfully revealing documents that appear in the Congressional series of The Papers of James Madison. The completion of Series I of this edition provides an opportunity to review how well the six volumes document Madison and the history of the early republic under the Constitution.

John Dewey: The Editor's Appreciation, Jo Ann Boydston

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

When John Dewey was born in 1859, there were in this country some men, and a few women, who were philosophers, teachers of philosophy, and students of philosophy, but these people could not teach or study American philosophy because there was no body of thought that could be called "American philosophy." Half a century later, we did have an identifiable "American" philosophy and much that is distinctive about it we owe to John Dewey. In fact, by 1920, when Dewey was sixty-one years old, Morris Raphael Cohen was able to say, "John Dewey is unquestionably the one preeminent figure in …

Making The Illegible Intelligible: Review Of The Letter Book Of James Abercromby, Colonial Agent: I75i-I773. Edited By John C. Van Horne And George Reese., C. James Taylor

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

The letter book along with his other papers and books remained in the possession of the Abercromby family for almost a century after his death. In the early 1870S London booksellers purchased the collection and from there items were sold and dispersed. A note in the letter book dates its presentation by the Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution to the State Library and Archives as 22 February 1919, Jon Kukla's foreword to the edition notes that while the manuscript has been available to scholars for seventy years, its usefulness has been limited because "its scrawled text [is] virtually indecipherable" …

What John Dewey Taught Me, Harriet Furst Simon

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

John Dewey, because of his longevity and productivity, has spawned a cottage industry. Seldom has one man kept so many women respectably employed for so long (we are not prejudiced; we have had a male co-worker now and again). Of course, his editors are not the only ones who have been busy; an increasing number of scholars are churning out books and articles on topics ranging from Dewey and the May Fourth Movement in China to the important women in Dewey's life.

As I thought about the subject of appreciation, it seemed to me that Dewey has educated us in …

In The Steps Of Jael And Deborah: Judith As Heroine, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Judith is one of the most memorable characters in Hebrew literature. In a remarkable story of courage and resourcefulness, she saves her people by one single action that is both compelling and repugnant. Leading female characters are rare enough in Israelite literature to be constantly compared with one another, and Judith has often been likened to Miriam, Deborah, Jael, the wise women of Tekoa and Abelbeth-Maacah, and Esther. And this is not an exhaustive list! I would like to argue that the comparison to Jael and Deborah is neither superficial nor coincidental, but that the author of Judith had the …

New And Old Histories: The Case Of Hölderlin And Württemberg Pietism, Priscilla A. Hayden-Roy

German Language and Literature Papers

Literary opinion generally concurs that Friedrich Hölderlin, whose writings abound with Christian references, was in some manner influenced by the pietist milieu of his native Württemberg. The precise nature of this influence is still in the process of being clarified, and results of the research vary widely depending on how Württemberg pietism is defined, what sources are consulted, and to what extent social or institutional factors are considered. Much of the literature addressing this topic is informed by historiographical assumptions which tend to flatten both Württemberg pietism and Hölderlin's writings into a historical teleology. I would like to examine here …

Review Of Public Libraries In Nazi Germany, By Margaret F. Stieg., Alan E. Steinweis

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Nazi cultural policy has only recently begun to attract a level of scholarly attention commensurate with its importance. Having relied for decades on memoirs, fragmentary documentary publications, and impressionistic accounts, historians are now devoting their energies to systematic, in-depth studies of the experiences of artists, performers, and writers under National Socialism. Margaret F. Stieg's book augments this expanding literature by focusing on an institution that was central to the dissemination of culture and knowledge: the public library. The central theme of Stieg's study is, perhaps not surprisingly, the politicization of libraries and librarianship: "In its fully developed form the Nazi …

St. Columba, Cassiodorus, And Julian Boyd: Some Lessons To Learn About Metaphor, Frank G. Burke

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Somewhere, in my picaresque wanderings through the culture palaces of Washington, where I occasionally was assigned the role of Praetorian Guard over the nation's historical treasures, I acquired a copy of a curious speech delivered by Julian Boyd to the meeting of the Society of American Archivists in Annapolis on 13 October 1939.

A Future For Documentary Editions: The Historical Documents Study, Ann D. Gordon

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

No one doubted the wisdom of gathering information about current use of historical sources when the National Historical Publications and Records Commission and the American Council of Learned Societies launched the Historical Documents Study two years ago. The Commission would learn more about the context for its own decisions to support projects that publish and preserve historical documents. True to its mission to lead and educate in matters of the nation's documentary heritage, the Commission would also inform other agencies and individuals responsible for similar decisions affecting historical sources and research.

But a counterclaim disturbed the unanimity. Within and around …
