Rewriting For Redemption: Adapting The Epic In La Ceppède's Théorèmes, Russell J. Ganim

French Language and Literature Papers

Jean de La Ceppède's Théorèmes ( 1613, 1622), raise intriguing issues concerning the question of generic adaptation. Elsewhere, I have shown that the Théorèmes can be classified under the rubric of the lyric not merely because the text consists of 520 sonnets on Christ's Passion, but because these sonnets, both individually, and within the collective context of the sonnet sequence, often represent appropriations of common Renaissance lyric subgenres such as the blason, the baiser, and the pastoral/pastourelle. La Ceppède's structural adaptation of the lyric is supplemented by the presence of the je/poète who internalizes the narrative …

The Eastmans And The Luhans: Interracial Marriage Between White Women And Native American Men, 1875–1935, Margaret D. Jacobs

Department of History: Faculty Publications

The stories of the (Elaine Goodale and Charles) Eastmans’ and (Mabel Dodge and Tony) Luhans’ marriages contain all the necessary ingredients for two “racy” novels but they also provide more than voyeuristic romances. As Peggy Pascoe has written, “For scholars interested in the social construction of race, gender, and culture, few subjects are as potentially revealing as the history of interracial marriage.” Both the Eastmans and the Luhans operated at the outer boundaries of American racial norms. Yet, through writing and speaking about their marriages, both couples worked to transform the racial ideologies of their times. Similarly both couples were …

Review Of American Women Of Letters And The Nineteenth-Century Sciences: Styles Of Affiliation By Nina Baym, Melissa J. Homestead

Department of English: Faculty Publications

As in her previous books on nineteenth-century American women writers, Baym's most recent book presents an impressive survey and synthesis of women cultural producers and their products. Even though nineteenth-century American women had neither the education nor the opportunities to be research scientists in the modern sense (a sense that was only beginning to be formulated and institutionalized), Baym contends that they nevertheless "affiliated" themselves with the sciences and used print culture to promote science and (male) scientists to America as essential to its national identity. "Ceding most of the doing of science-the production of new scientific knowledge in the …

Reid’S Foundation For The Primary/Secondary Quality Distinction, Jennifer Mckitrick

Department of Philosophy: Faculty Publications

Thomas Reid (1710-1796) offers an under-appreciated account of the primary/secondary quality distinction. He gives sound reasons for rejecting the views of Locke, Boyle, Galileo and others, and presents a better alternative, according to which the distinction is epistemic rather than metaphysical. Primary qualities, for Reid, are qualities whose intrinsic natures can be known through sensation. Secondary qualities, on the other hand, are unknown causes of sensations. Some may object that Reid’s view is internally inconsistent, or unacceptably relativistic. However, a deeper understanding shows that it is consistent, and relative only to normal humans. To acquire this deeper understanding, one must …

(Re)Viewing Teaching As Intellectual Work In English Studies: Insights From A Peer Review Of Teaching Project, Amy M. Goodburn

Department of English: Faculty Publications

This essay draws upon my experiences within a university peer review of teaching project, first as a participant and now as a faculty coordinator, to consider some of the issues raised when faculty create and use new genres for representing teaching as intellectual work in English Studies. I begin by describing my process of creating a course portfolio--a genre that asks teachers to document and assess student learning and performance within a particular course over a semester. I then discuss the external reviews that this course portfolio received when it was assessed by faculty within and outside of English Departments …

Edition And Facsimile Publishing The Correspondence Of Carl Linnaeus On The World Wide Web, Tomas Anfält

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

Carl Linnaeus, or Carl von Linne as he was called after his ennoblement in 1762, is Sweden's most famous scientist. Linnaeus is primarily known for having created the nomenclature for plants, published for the first time in Species plantarum in 1753. Born in 1707 in southern Sweden, he studied at the University of Lund and later at Uppsala where he became professor of medicine in 1741. Before his academic appointment, he had a remarkable international career resulting from the introduction of his Systema naturae, published in its first edition in 1735 in Amsterdam. Within less than a decade, most of …

Limber Jim Of Andersonville: A Note On Annotation, Robert Scott Davis Jr.

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

Annotation enhances the value of documentary editions, which is in part why early publications without such notes frequently confused readers, especially those with limited background knowledge. In modem documentary editions annotations provide important historical references, which means that misidentifications, especially when copied repeatedly, can have lasting negative impact.

Selling The Civil War In Art And Memoir: Review Of Private Robert Knox Sneden, Eye Of The Storm: A Civil War Odyssey, Ed. Charles F. Bryan, Jr., And Nelson D. Lankford., John David Smith

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

Despite the economic twists and turns of scholarly V publishing, presses can bank on selling Civil War documentary editions. Like books on sex and the Nazis, Civil War titles satisfy a seemingly insatiable appetite of readers both at home and abroad. This is especially true for handsomely illustrated memoirs like Eye of the Storm: A Civil War Odyssey, edited by Charles F. Bryan, Jr., and Nelson D. Lankford of the Virginia Historical Society. Eye of the Storm is an edition of watercolor images drawn by and the Civil War memoir of Robert Knox Sneden (1832-1918). Heretofore an anonymous figure, Sneden …

An Absorbing Travel Account: Review Of Like A Sponge Thrown Into Water: Francis Lieber's European Travel Journal Of 7844-7845.

Transcribed From The Autograph Manuscript Preserved In The Collections Of The South Carolina Library At The University Of South Carolina. Edited With An Introduction And Commentary By Charles R. Mack And Ilona S. Mack., Lance Schachterle

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

Motivated by his interest in Francis Lieber's importance in the hIstory of the University of South Carolina, as well as Lieber's reflections on European works of art, Charles R. Mack, professor of Art History at South Carolina, with his wife Ilona S. Mack, has edited from manuscript the journal Lieber kept for much of his European "sabbatical" of 1844-45. The extended title provided by the editors advances their views of the significance of Lieber's journal and implies a potential readership for their text. Indeed, the editorial claim that Lieber was "one of the nineteenth-century's most influential minds" is bold. More …

What Are Some Of The Problems Faced By Small-Handed Pianists?, Lora Deahl, Brenda Wristen

Glenn Korff School of Music: Faculty Publications

Small handedness is a complex problem that cannot be solved in the space of a few paragraphs. Moreover, the severity of this problem has increased over time. Since the invention of the piano circa 1700, the keys have increased not only in width but also in length. The height of the ebonies over the whites and the depth of the keystroke have also increased, along with the heaviness of the action. Because these developments present formidable challenges for small-handed players, there is a need for heightened awareness concerning their specialized technical problems.

Most of the repertoire written for elementary and …

Care Of Quilts-Storage And Display , Shirley Niemeyer, Patricia Cox Crews

Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Fashion Design: Faculty Publications

Antique textiles, including quilts, are very fragile. Excessive handling and washing can hasten deterioration. Light quickly fades colors and weakens natural fibers. Careful control of handling, storage, and display conditions can prolong the life of quilts.

Views Of Kingship: Britannicus And Louis Xiv’S Mémoires, Russell J. Ganim

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Faculty Publications

This study situates itself within a current trend in Racinian scholarship to accentuate the political dimensions of Racine’s dramaturgy. Recently, Timothy Reiss, Suzanne Gearhart, and Alain Viala, among others, have emphasized the socio-political aspects of Racine’s oeuvre in part to counteract the mid twentieth-century notion that Racine’s classicism, if not his work in general, is based almost exclusively on the psychological representation of plot and character. I will argue that to a significant extent, the nature – «classical» or other – of Racine’s drama is also founded on a keen sense of the historic as it relates to the contemporary.

Review Of Julien Gœury: L 'Autopsie Et Le Théorème: Poétique Des Théorèmes Spirituels (1613-1622) De Jean De La Ceppède., Russell J. Ganim

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Faculty Publications

Les lecteurs de La Ceppède seront contents de recevoir le livre de Julien Gœury car son étude représente une addition importante aux ouvrages récents sur le poète aixois. Faisant partie de la redécouverte critique des Théorèmes initiée par les travaux de Jean Rousset dans les années 50, L'Autopsie et le théorème jette un nouveau regard sur l'oeuvre laceppédienne en adoptant ce que l'on peut appeler une perspective néo-structuraliste. L'exposé se divise en quatre parties: 1) Morphologie, 2) Anatomie, 3) Physiologie et 4) Psychologie. Une telle répartition suggere le désir de dégager le caractère organique du texte dans le cadre d'une …

Through The Talking Glass: Translucence And Translation In The Condé Museum’S Psyche Gallery, Russell J. Ganim

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Faculty Publications

The forty-four stained-glass windows (dating from 1540–44) that recount the mythological tale of Psyche in Chantilly’s Condé Museum present a unique semeiological challenge to scholars. Accompanied by lyric inscriptions of either four or eight lines, the panels reveal an image/text combination that represents a literal example of the Renaissance notion of ut pictura poesis. These seldom-discussed panels merit inquiry because they reflect certain historic, artistic, and literary trends that illustrate factional and intellectual movements crucial to understanding France of the early to mid-sixteenth century. In its examination of these issues, this essay asks three questions:
1) What is the political …

Discovering Memory And Meaning In Quilts, Carolyn K. Ducey, Patricia Cox Crews

Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Fashion Design: Faculty Publications

After an extensive search Ardis and Robert James, quilt collectors from Chappaqua, New York, chose the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) as the home for their collection of almost a thousand quilts. They also supported the formation of the International Quilt Study Center (IQSC) in 1997 for the interdisciplinary study of quiltmaking traditions through the collection, conservation and exhibition of quilts and related materials. Carolyn Ducey and Patricia Crews, the Center’s curator and director, respectively, write about some of the work they do.
