Sketches At Home And Abroad: A Critical Edition Of Selections From The Writings Of Nathaniel Parker Willis, Jon Miller, Nathaniel Parker Willis

Jon Miller

Critics and general readers highly regarded the poetry and prose of Nathaniel Parker Willis (18061867) during the "American Renaissance" of creative literature in the decades before the Civil War. As an editor and frequent contributor to one of the young nation's most successful and elegant literary magazines, The New-York Mirror, Willis achieved an international reputation for his witty and worldly tales and letters. This new edition collects outstanding examples of Willis's short fiction written at the peak of his abilities. These tales of adventure embellish and improve Willis's own experience as a bachelor adventurer during the 1830s, relating, for example, …

Petroleum V. Nasby, Poet Of Democracy, And His "Psalm Of Gladness", Jon Miller Aug 2015

Petroleum V. Nasby, Poet Of Democracy, And His "Psalm Of Gladness", Jon Miller

Jon Miller

Reprints David Ross Locke’s parodic letter-poem (written in the persona of “whiskey-addicted Copperhead” Petroleum V. Nasby), “A Psalm of Gladness—The Veto of the Civil Rights Bill, and other Matters, occasioning a Feeling of Thankfulness in the Minds of the Democracy,” and analyzes how the satire “associates Nasby’s style of ‘jubilation’ with the poetry of Walt Whitman,” showing how “the satire does not attack Whitman’s verse so much as it condemns it by association with the style of Nasby.”

The Akron Offering: A Ladies' Literary Magazine, 1849-1850, Jon Miller

Jon Miller

FREE FULL-TEXT PDF DOWNLOAD From 1849 to 1850, Calista Cummings edited and published Akron's first literary magazine, The Akron Offering. At the time, Akron was a booming canal town on the verge of even greater prosperity. By turns religious, comic, romantic, and political, this extraordinary collection of early midwestern creative literature expresses a wide range of sometimes contradictory opinions on both the important questions of its day and the important questions of today: historical events such as the California Gold Rush of 1849 and the 1848 revolutions in Europe are considered alongside more timeless contemplations on truth, justice, and beauty. …

Making Scholarly Editions In The Classroom, Jon Miller Dec 2008

Making Scholarly Editions In The Classroom, Jon Miller

Jon Miller

An alternative to the traditional research paper, the scholarly edition has much to offer students and professors of American literature. By "scholarly edition" I mean a single document that includes a primary text, a note on the text, a paper that summarizes and interprets the text, short endnotes glossing the text, and a bibliography. All of us are familiar with the popular scholarly editions of literary works published for the college classroom by Norton, Broadview, Bedford, and many other scholarly presses. But not all have considered the creation of shorter yet comparable works as an assignment for the undergraduate and …
