Martin Bucer And The Church Fathers In The Cologne Reformation, Amy Nelson Burnett Dec 2001

Martin Bucer And The Church Fathers In The Cologne Reformation, Amy Nelson Burnett

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Martin Bucer’s theology is perhaps the most difficult of all the major reformers to characterize because of its evolving nature. Although there are certainly fundamental features that remained constant through his career, what makes Bucer so unusual and so fascinating is the evolution of his thought as he worked out the implications of those fundamental beliefs and their specific applications over his years of experience as pastor, teacher and church organizer.


Autopsy, Susan C. Lawrence Nov 2001

Autopsy, Susan C. Lawrence

Department of History: Faculty Publications

An autopsy is a standardized biomedical procedure during which trained medical pathologists examine the exterior of the body, dissect the corpse, view the vital organs for any obvious abnormality and weigh them, and collect specimens of tissues and fluids for further analysis. The procedure takes 2-4 hours and ends with the body being prepared either for storage until it can be released, or to go to the undertaker for embalming and burial or cremation. After additional laboratory work on the tissues and fluid specimens to detect the presence of drugs and/or coexisting medical conditions, the pathologist forms an opinion on …


Mixed-Bloods, Mestizas, And Pintos: Race, Gender, And Claims To Whiteness In Helen Hunt Jackson's Ramona And María Amparo Ruiz De Burton's Who Would Have Thought It?, Margaret D. Jacobs Oct 2001

Mixed-Bloods, Mestizas, And Pintos: Race, Gender, And Claims To Whiteness In Helen Hunt Jackson's Ramona And María Amparo Ruiz De Burton's Who Would Have Thought It?, Margaret D. Jacobs

Department of History: Faculty Publications

A number of literary scholars have found much to compare between Jackson's Ramona and Ruiz de Burton's other novel, The Squatter and the Don. Both take place in nineteenth-century California and provide contrasting views of Californio and indigenous cultures. A comparison of Who Would Have Thought It? and Ramona, however, yields further crucial insights into how Ruiz de Burton critiqued Easterners' views of the West. Rather than situating this novel in the West, Ruiz de Burton locates it primarily in New England. This allows Ruiz de Burton to turn the tables on all the "Yankees" who wrote about the West. …


Review Of Diana O'Hara, Courtship And Constraint: Rethinking The Making Of Marriage In Tudor England, And Retha Warnicke, The Marrying Of Anne Of Cleves: Royal Protocol In Tudor England, Carole Levin Oct 2001

Review Of Diana O'Hara, Courtship And Constraint: Rethinking The Making Of Marriage In Tudor England, And Retha Warnicke, The Marrying Of Anne Of Cleves: Royal Protocol In Tudor England, Carole Levin

Department of History: Faculty Publications

There have been a number of books and articles in the last decade that focus on family and marriage, including courtship, in early modern England or on the negotiations of specific marriages. Many of these studies were written in response to the pioneering but often controversial work by Lawrence Stone. Literary scholars, such as Catherine Bates and Ilona Bell, and historians such as Barbara Harris, Sara Mendelson and Patricia Crawford, Eric Carlson, Alan MacFarlane, and Ralph Houlbrooke have brought a variety of view points and much more subtlety to the whole discussion. The two books under review here, Courtship and …


Generational Conflict In The Late Reformation: The Basel Paroxysm, Amy Nelson Burnett Sep 2001

Generational Conflict In The Late Reformation: The Basel Paroxysm, Amy Nelson Burnett

Department of History: Faculty Publications

It would be tempting to consider the outbreak of the Reformation as an episode of generational conflict, the ramifications of which continued during the next several generations of the sixteenth century. This article, however, focuses instead on a more limited instance of generational conflict, both temporally and geographically. Moreover, it looks not at the first generation of reformers but at their successors—-or, more precisely, at their successors’ successors—-at a time of transition from the second to the third generation of Protestant clergy.

The “Basel Paroxysm,” a conflict over the Lord’s Supper that shook the Basel church in 1570/71, illustrates the …


"In Brightest Africa": Naturalistic Constructions Of Africa In The American Museum Of Natural History, 1910-1936, Jeannette Eileen Jones May 2001

"In Brightest Africa": Naturalistic Constructions Of Africa In The American Museum Of Natural History, 1910-1936, Jeannette Eileen Jones

Department of History: Faculty Publications

The opening of the American Museum of Natural History's Akeley African Hall in 1936 symbolized the triumph of a vision of Africa almost twenty-five years in its conception. Led by Carl Akeley, naturalists at the AMNH dreamed of "Brightest Africa" (C. Akeley 1924), epitomized in an exhibit that would capture the true essence of the continent and dispel myths of steaming jungles, ferocious beasts, and primitive savages. For them, the Hall was the culmination of years of expedition, research, and discovery in the "Dark Continent," supported by scholarly publication, radio broadcast, and cinematic production. African Hall was scientific proof that …


Review Of Elizabeth Ewan And Maureen M. Meikle, Eds., Women In Scotland C. 1100-C. 1750, Carole Levin Apr 2001

Review Of Elizabeth Ewan And Maureen M. Meikle, Eds., Women In Scotland C. 1100-C. 1750, Carole Levin

Department of History: Faculty Publications

One of the most famous women in history was a Scotswoman, Mary Stuart. But the rest of women in Scottish history have long been ignored. Elizabeth Ewan and Maureen Meikle have put together an impressive collection that addresses women in Scotland in the medieval and early modem period. The editors argue persuasively that it is important to know about Scotswomen from all social levels. The book includes a very useful time line and introduc- tory bibliographical essay. The twenty essays in the collection are arranged under the themes of religion, literature, legal history, the economy, politics, and the family. ... …


Review Of Matthew Dillon & Lynda Garland, Ancient Greece: Social And Historical Documents From Archaic Times To The Death Of Socrates (C. 800-399 Bc). 2nd Ed., Vanessa B. Gorman Mar 2001

Review Of Matthew Dillon & Lynda Garland, Ancient Greece: Social And Historical Documents From Archaic Times To The Death Of Socrates (C. 800-399 Bc). 2nd Ed., Vanessa B. Gorman

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Dillon and Garland have revised their collection of ancient Greek documents in this second edition. As with the first edition, the present sourcebook is intended primarily for use by undergraduate students and secondarily for the "reader interested in further study" (p. xi), presumably the Greekless scholar. The work is divided into fourteen chapters roughly by chronology and topic, with anywhere from four to fifteen subdivisions within the chapters. The individual entries are each given a discrete number carried over from the first edition, as well as an introduction that includes background information and references to secondary sources pertinent to the …


Review Of Christine Meek, Ed., Women In Renaissance And Early Modern Europe, Carole Levin Jan 2001

Review Of Christine Meek, Ed., Women In Renaissance And Early Modern Europe, Carole Levin

Department of History: Faculty Publications

This collection of essays has many very fine pieces, but there is really no coherent theme that ties them together. While i; is about women in the Renaissancea nd early modern Europe (Meek covers her bases by using both terms), the essays are very specialized. They do not provide the wide coverage of material that the title implies and the title would never suggest the specifics in the book. Rather, as a collection that grew out of a conference held at Trinity College Dublin in 1998, some of the essays connect with each other, while others are of very different …


Review Of The Holocaust In American Life, By Peter Novick., Alan E. Steinweis Jan 2001

Review Of The Holocaust In American Life, By Peter Novick., Alan E. Steinweis

Department of History: Faculty Publications

The Holocaust has undeniably become a fixture in American culture. What has come to be called the "Americanization of the Holocaust" is the subject of several recent books, a lively discussion within the American Jewish community, and even a course in American history at the University of Heidelberg. Among the many attempts to document and explain how the Holocaust has been Americanized, perhaps the most ambitious and provocative is Peter Novick's The Holocaust in American Life. The book is ambitious both on account of its chronological breadth, covering the entire period from the Second World War to the present …


Eidgenössischer Geheimdienst Und Österreichischer Widerstand 1943-1946, Gerald Steinacher Jan 2001

Eidgenössischer Geheimdienst Und Österreichischer Widerstand 1943-1946, Gerald Steinacher

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Die Neutralitätspolitik der Schweiz wurde bis in das Frühjahr 1944 grossteils eingehalten. Dann veränderten sich die politischen Rahmenbedingungen dermassen, dass Schweizer Geheimdienste bereit waren, österreichische Widerstandsgruppen zu unterstützen. Der Zusammenbruch des Dritten Reiches schien nur mehr eine Frage der Zeit zu sein. Allerdings fürchtete man das Eindringen deutscher Truppen im Falle eines chaotischen Kriegsendes. Darüber hinaus waren die Schweizer Militärs vom Konzept einer deutschen «Alpenfestung» an ihrer Ostgrenze lange Zeit überzeugt. Dies waren die Prämissen, unter denen die Schweizer Nachrichtendienste bereit waren, mit Leuten des österreichischen Widerstandes in Kontakt zu treten

Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich vor allem mit dem Nachrichtendienst …


"Wir Taten Es, Um Zu Zeigen, Dass Die Sache Der Alliierten Auch Die Unsere War.'': Südtiroler Widerstand Und Die Alliierten 1943-1945, Gerald Steinacher Jan 2001

"Wir Taten Es, Um Zu Zeigen, Dass Die Sache Der Alliierten Auch Die Unsere War.'': Südtiroler Widerstand Und Die Alliierten 1943-1945, Gerald Steinacher

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Im September 1943 besetzten deutsche Truppen Italien. Von vielen als Befreiung begrüßt, wutde Südtirol "de facto" an das Dritte Reich angeschlossen. Dahinter standen Annexionstendenzen vor allem Tiroler Nationalsozialisten. Der deutschsprachige Widerstand setzte auf den Sieg der Alliierten und eine Angliederung an ein demokratisches Österreich. Dies wiederum rief Reaktionen italienischerseits hervor, wobei die Akteure der "Resistenza" und die Mussolini-Getreuen das gleiche nationale Ziel verfolgten: die Erhaltung der Brennergrenze. Alle Akteure wußten, daß die territoriale Zukunft dieses Gebietes von der Haltung der Alliierten, insbesondere den USA abhing. In dieser kritischen Phase waren daher Kontakte zu den Alliierten von zentraler Bedeutung. Diese Verbindungen …
