James Russell Lowell, William A. Pannapacker

Faculty Publications

A-Z entries detail the lives, works, and critical reception of more than 70 American writers of the 19th century.

The American literary canon has undergone revision and expansion in recent years, and our notions of the 19th-century renaissance have been reevaluated. Mainstream anthologies have been revised to reflect the expanding literary canon, yet resources for readers have remained widely scattered. This book expands earlier definitions of the 19th-century American Renaissance as represented by canonical writers such as Emerson and Poe, covering writers who published popular fiction and dominated the literary marketplace of the day. Included is generous coverage of women …

English Faculty Publications

From The Fallen Tree : Frontier Narratives, Environmental Politics, And The Roots Of A National Pastoral, 1749-1826., Thomas Hallock

Faculty Books

Anglo-American writers in the revolutionary era used pastoral images to place themselves as native to the continent, argues Thomas Hallock in From the Fallen Tree. Beginning in the mid-eighteenth century, as territorial expansion got under way in earnest, and ending with the era of Indian dispossession, the author demonstrates how authors explored the idea of wilderness and political identities in fully populated frontiers. Hallock provides an alternative to the myth of a vacant wilderness found in later writings. Emphasizing shared cultures and conflict in the border regions, he reconstructs the milieu of Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether …

Pierced For Success?: The Effects Of Ear And Nose Piercing On Perceptions Of Job Candidates’ Credibility, Attractiveness, And Hireability, John S. Seiter, Andrea Sandry

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

This study examined the effect of body piercing on perceptions of an employment seeker's credibility, hirability, and attractiveness. Participants (undergraduate students and managers) viewed a photograph of a job candidate who wore either no jewelry, an earring, or a nose ring, and then rated dimensions of the candidate's credibility, hirability, and attractiveness. Analysis indicated that although the candidate's attractiveness ratings were not affected by the type of jewelry he wore, his credibility ratings decreased when he was wearing jewelry, and his hirability ratings decreased when he was wearing a nose ring. These results and their implications are discussed.

Education For Homelessness Or Homemaking: The Christian College In A Postmodern Culture, Steven C. Bouma-Prediger, Brian J. Walsh

Faculty Publications

Some posit today that colleges and universities—small or large, public or private, Christian or secular—educate people for upward mobility, alienate people from their local habitation, and encourage the vandalism of the earth. In short, they argue that education is in many respects education for global homelessness. Steven Bouma-Prediger and Brian Walsh agree. In this article they examine these claims, set forth an alternative vision of education, and describe some of the implications of a biblically informed vision. In doing so, they argue that Christian higher education ought explicitly to aim at homecoming and homemaking. Mr. Bouma-Prediger is Professor of Religion …
