"The Wyclyf" — Thrills And Dangers Of Editing A Medieval Text, Allen D. Breck

Quidditas

In 1983 we shall be observing the six hundredth anniversary of the death of one of England's great contributors, along with William of Ockham and John Duns Scotus, to the thought, learning, and literature of the fourteenth century. John Wyclyf died at the comparatively advanced age oof sixty-four after two years' illness attendant upon a stroke, on St. Sylvester's day, December 31, 1384. He had been stricken a second time while hearing Mass said by his curate in his parish church at Lutterworth, some thirteen miles northeast of Coventry. We know nothing about his burial, save that in accordance with …

"Diuine Resemblaunce": Colin Clout's Vision Of Grace, John C. Ulreich Jan 1982

"Diuine Resemblaunce": Colin Clout's Vision Of Grace, John C. Ulreich

Quidditas

Colin Clout's vision of the Graces is the imaginative center of Book VI, and in a sense of the whole Faerie Queene, "the sacred noursery / Of vertue" (VI. Proem 3), wherein both the Knight of Courtesy and the reader are instructed in the "vertuous and gentle disciple" of the imagination ("Letter to Raleigh," II, 495). Spenser's readers have been virtually unanimous in their agreement with C. S. Lewis, that the vision on Mount Acidale is "the key to Spenser's whole conception of Courtesy." But there has been considerably less agreement about the precise significance of Spenser's vision. In …

Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz (1878-1947), Ursula Schoeni Jan 1982

Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz (1878-1947), Ursula Schoeni

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Ramuz, Charles-Ferdinand (1878-1947), Swiss poet, novelist, and essayist, was born at Cully, a small town on Lake Geneva in the canton of Vaud. After completing his studies at the University of Lausanne, he went to Paris, where, from 1902 to 1914, he lived in obscurity and wrote four volumes of poetry in addition to eight novels and two collections of short stories, none of which attracted attention outside a small circle of friends and admirers. Longing for an atmosphere truly congenial to his artistic temperament, he decided to go back to his native Cully. This proved to be a momentous …

Zollinger is probably the greatest lyric poet in 20th century Swiss-German literature. His poetical style shows a genuine relationship to the styles of Georg Trakl, Gottfried Benn, Wilhelm Lehmann, and Peter Huchel.

Introduction To The Special Newsletter Issue On Albert Gallatin, 1761-1849, Heinz K. Meier Jan 1982

Introduction To The Special Newsletter Issue On Albert Gallatin, 1761-1849, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

This is the second time the Swiss American Historical Society devotes one of its Newsletters to Albert Gallatin. In April 1967 (Vol. III, No. 2), on the occasion of the issue of the l ¾ cent stamp dedicated to Gallatin (in Gallatin , Missouri, on January 30, 1967), we published two articles, one by Ambassador Felix Schnyder and one by Dr. Leo Schelbert, then assistant professor of history at Rutgers University, on the great Genevan-American. Now fifteen years later, we present another issue, with four contributions on our illustrious compatriot and fellow-immigrant. There is no special event or anniversary to …

Jacob Maag (1881-1980), Swiss Stone Carver And Sculptor In The Midwest, Heinz K. Meier Jan 1982

Jacob Maag (1881-1980), Swiss Stone Carver And Sculptor In The Midwest, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Jacob Maag was born in Neunkirch, Canton Schaffhausen, in 1881 and came to Omaha, Nebraska, in 1905. From 1905 to 1961 he worked as a stonecutter and sculptor mainly in Omaha, but also in other parts of the Midwest. In 1962 he became the subject of an oral history project of the Greater Omaha Historical Society as a "pioneer citizen" in their "I Remember" series. The Greater Omaha Historical Society is now defunct, but thanks to Walter Wullschleger (see SAHS Newsletter, XVI, No. 1 (Jan. 1980), 31-36) we received a transcript of that interview. We are pleased to give the …

Papers Of Albert Gallatin: Project Description, Barbara Oberg Jan 1982

Papers Of Albert Gallatin: Project Description, Barbara Oberg

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The publication of the writings of Albert Gallatin in selected printed volumes is both overdue and particularly timely. In order to come to an understanding of the formative years of the American republic, scholars need to have available the materials of the respected second-level political and administrative leadership of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Of this second-level group of American statesmen, few were so highly regarded and influential as Albert Gallatin. The aim of the present scholarly effort is to publish in a six volume annotated edition the most important public and private papers of a figure important …

A Question Of Influence: Two Sixteenth-Century Lutheran Music Sources, Laura Youens Jan 1982

A Question Of Influence: Two Sixteenth-Century Lutheran Music Sources, Laura Youens

Quidditas

In 1956, the eminent German musicologist Lothar Hoffmann-Erbrecht published a catalogue of the manuscript Rostock, University Library, MS Mus. Saec. XVI-29 (henceforth Rostock 49). This large musical source was compiled and copied in 1566 by Jacob Praetorius (c. 1530-1586), principal organist at St. Jakobi in Hamburg from 1558 to his death. According to the lengthy Latin preface to his Opus musicum excellens et novum, Rostock 49 originally comprised eight groups of compositions organized by genre. Only four of these groups are extant, and, from an inscription on the binding, it is clear that the other four sections were bound …

Vegetable Love: Metamorphosis And Morality In Hesperides, Frances M. Malpezzi Jan 1982

Vegetable Love: Metamorphosis And Morality In Hesperides, Frances M. Malpezzi

Quidditas

Recent critics of Hesperides, less content than their predecessors with the plucking of but one of Herrick's golden apples, the examination of its beauty, and the savoring of its sweetness, have attempted the task of surveying the landscape of the entire garden, elucidating the pattern of its design, and identifying the various species of plants growing therein. The emphasis now is on seeing Hesperides as an integrated and thematically unified construct. The studies by Whitaker, Chambers, Deming, Rollin, and DeNeef are concerned with the ceremonial mode that pervades the poems in Hesperides. The consensus of these writers is …

Shakespeare's And Plutarch's Brutus: Shakespeare's Dramatic Strategy To Undercut The Noble Image, Shirley Rish Jan 1982

Shakespeare's And Plutarch's Brutus: Shakespeare's Dramatic Strategy To Undercut The Noble Image, Shirley Rish

Quidditas

Modern critics of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar frequently challenge the view that Brutus was in fact "the noblest Roman of them all,' but only rarely do they completely repudiate Brutus' characterization as a patriotic idealist. They are of course aware of ironic and ambiguous elements in the tragedy, but they fail to take the step that would seem obvious: to note how Shakespeare undercut Brutus' noble image by carefully manipulating materials from the principal source for the play, Sir Thomas North's English translation of Plutarch's Lives.

The Scouting Difference: Development, Direction, And Evaluation Of A Documentary Film, Kirk E. Strickland Jan 1982

The Scouting Difference: Development, Direction, And Evaluation Of A Documentary Film, Kirk E. Strickland

Theses and Dissertations

There is a need for supplemental reference material of an in-depth, specific nature to suggest methods of general application to the novice film director. Because film production is such a highly collaborative art, craft, and business with limited opportunities open to beginners, the novice director can benefit a great deal from the documented experiences of another. This study will provide insight into the practical role of the film director in motion picture production. In this way, this study can influence directorial practice in a positive manner by offering a forewarning of potential production challenges and help the novice to avoid …

Danish Farmers In The Middle West, Erik Helmer Pedersen Jan 1982

Danish Farmers In The Middle West, Erik Helmer Pedersen

The Bridge

A former Danish carpenter and farmer, Niels Madsen, his wife, Anna, and their six children, aged 15 to 3 years, were among the passengers on board the America wooden paddle-steamer "Northern Light" when the ship on May 1, 1869, left Copenhagen. It was bound for New York, but enroute it had to call at Gothenburg in Sweden and Christiana in Norway. The Madsen family had left their native village of Klippinge at Stevns, in the company of about 30 other emigrants, headed by a so-called "yankee," Mr. A. Clausen, who during the spring of 1869 had formed an emigration group. …

The Emigration Of Soren Kierkegaard, Howard V. Hong, Edna H. Hong Jan 1982

The Emigration Of Soren Kierkegaard, Howard V. Hong, Edna H. Hong

The Bridge

John and Jane Doe, USA, are pretty well aware that Denmark exports the best butter, bacon, and cheese in the world to the world. But perhaps not even Jens and Tina Jensen, second and third generation Danish-Americans, realize the extent to which the second-to-none thoughts of a nineteenth century Dane have emigrated and are emigrating to the whole wide world . Indeed, they are valued more by the world than by Danes in Denmark, who can hardly conceal their surprise that the world now pays more attention to Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1865) than to Hans Christian Andersen . The Danes …

Louis Pio In America, Thorvald Hansen Jan 1982

Louis Pio In America, Thorvald Hansen

The Bridge

Since I have been working with the Danish Immigrant Archives, and especially with the Danish Immigrant Archival Listing project, it has become increasingly clear to me that those immigrants who become a part of the Danish Church represent but a small fraction of the Danes who came to this country. Sometime in the Danish Church we have, I fear, been so wrapped up in ourselves that we have lost sight of the great majority of Danes who emigrated to America and who, in one way or another have left their mark. Examples are numerous but I think of one little …

Scandinavia And The Prairie School: Chicago Landscape Artist Jens Jensen, J. R. Christianson Jan 1982

Scandinavia And The Prairie School: Chicago Landscape Artist Jens Jensen, J. R. Christianson

The Bridge

The "prairie" was a powerful symbol in Chicago around the tum of the present century. Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and others used it to characterize a new type of architecture with strong horizontal lines and free flowing interior spaces. Poets like Vachel Lindsay and Carl Sandburg sang the glories of a new breed of prairie man and woman, growing like Abraham Lincoln out of the environment of the American heartland. Among landscape artists, Jens Jensen was the leading figure of the Prairie School. He designed "prairie parks" for the city of Chicago, and landscapes appropriate to the new "prairie …
