The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

DURING TIMES of incessant change any practice or custom that maintains itself for as long as six years may fairly claim to be a hallowed tradition. Just such a tradition THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY is building for itself with this sixth Summer Literary Number. Not that we ever wholly close our pages to a good study of literature at other seasons of the year, and not that our literary number involves any really basic difference from the other three quarterly issues. The emphasis, the approach, may vary somewhat, but all four issues are alike concerned with …

WHEN ASKED by the director of one of our growing university presses how the "mystique" of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY was created, the present editor pointed at once to the names listed on the title page, singling out for particular notice that of our former editor-in-chief, Dudley T. Comish, whose eight years of editing have put their indelible stamp on the journal. But since that time I have been mulling over the word "mystique," perhaps a little self-consciously, for it seemed to me then, and seems to me now, rather a large word for this combination …

A RECENT SUBSCRIBER, forgetting or perhaps overlooking our regional main title, made his check payable to "A Journal of Contemporary Thought." Now we take serious pride in belonging to the Midwest; we celebrate its artists and writers, seek out articles of particular relevance to our broad region, and think of ourselves as speaking in a midwestern accent. But our subscriber reminds us, though inadvertently, that we strive with equal seriousness to live up to the claim embodied in our second title. We are acutely concerned with our own troubled times, nor can we always repress …

THIS FIRST NUMBER of the ninth volume of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY begins a new year with-somewhat to her surprise- a somewhat new editor. During a summer leave or a sabbatical absence of Professor Cornish, it is true, she has sometimes stepped in, has chewed pencils, checked copy, struggled with an engulfing correspondence, written forewords and afterwords, read proof, worried with subscriptions and copyright and the multifarious details involved in any publication, and all the while has rejoiced rather too audibly in the prospect of a speedy release. She still tends to think of herself as …

INDULGING natural preference and at the same time bowing to a tradition still green, the editors present their fifth Summer Literary Number. Their six major selections draw from at least three diverse literary streams: Nineteenth-century English (early and late), nineteenth-century American, and the contemporary American novel. More specifically, two articles deal with important figures in English letters: William Wordsworth, the Romantic poet who grew to estrangement from and disillusion with his native country, and Joseph Conrad, English by adoption and recognized as a superior craftsman in his second tongue by virtue of a distinguished list …

PHILOSOPHY, cinematic literature, literature and history, history and politics, and final cosmography – these compose the menu we spread before you on this spring table. We consider it attractive and nutritious; we hope our readers enjoy the various courses as much as we enjoyed their selection and preparation. One can argue the precision of the categories. Certainly philosophy is or ought to be concerned with the nature of good. Almost as certainly, literary critics can be concerned with the form, fabric, and intent of movies and television productions which, one supposes, begin somewhere with written …

CROWDING the top of anybody's list of vital questions now facing the United States are automation, civil rights, the draft, the Great Society, taxes, and the war in Vietnam. It is beyond the charter of this journal to offer discussions of every major issue in every issue. Since most manuscripts reaching us are unsolicited, choices are limited somewhat by chance. And there are still contributors who have the mistaken notion that this is primarily a literary magazine, a historical journal, or a scholarly review requiring elaborate footnotes.
