Jean Starobinski (1920), Gerda R. Blumenthal
Jean Starobinski (1920), Gerda R. Blumenthal
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Starobinski, Jean (1920-), Swiss literary critic, was born and educated in Geneva, where he completed studies in literature and medicine. Since 1958 he has taught at the University of Geneva. Like his masters Marcel Raymond and Georges Poulet, Starobinski interprets the act of literary creation as an existential project of self-discovery and self-realization, embodied in the dominant thematic patterns and motifs of an author's works.

Carl Spitteler (1845-1924), Marianne Burkhard
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Spitteler, Carl (1845-1924), Swiss poet, novelist, and essayist, was born in Liestal, canton Basel-Land. Spitteler created an oeuvre that stands apart from the literature of his time. His preference for epic poetry was rooted in the extraordinary visual sense that retained his childhood experiences in bright, archetypal images vividly conveyed in Meine frühesten Erlebnisse (1914; My Earliest Experiences) and enabled him to depict inner life through action.

She regards her self-sought isolation as an option for nature.
A Reconstruction Of The Early New Basel Community Of Dickinson County, Kansas, Harvey E. Bross
A Reconstruction Of The Early New Basel Community Of Dickinson County, Kansas, Harvey E. Bross
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
The November 1981 issue of the SAHS Newsletter presented the story of the founding of New Basel as featured by Harvey E. Bross in 1963. The community represents one aspect of the Swiss presence in Kansas that needs further methodical exploration. Between 1860 and 1890 quite a few immigrants from Switzerland apparently chose Kansas as their destination. John Rydjord mentions in his Kansas Place-Names (Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1972), pp. 131-132 the following traces of the Swiss presence: "Helvetia was one of the many towns that boomed and died in Meade County. The place in Finney County where …

Blaise Cendrars (1887-1961), Ursula Schoeni
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Cendrars, Blaise, pseud. of Frédéric-Louis Sauser (1887-1961), Swiss poet and novelist, was born in La Chauxde-Fonds. The nomadic life imposed upon the Sauser family by the future writer's creative but impractical father permanently marked him. He continually yearned for space and travel; although he made Paris his headquarters and France his adopted country, he never stayed long in one place. A distaste for conformity, an insatiable curiosity, and a remarkable mobility of thought led Cendrars to diversify himself in a literary production overwhelming in its variety and abundance.

Albert Gallatin: America's Geneva Connection, William B. Lloyd
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
In February 1801, Washington, the muddy new capital of the United States, was alive with rumors of approaching conflict over the presidency. Despite a strongly anti-Federalist popular vote, electors were evenly divided between Thomas Jefferson, Republican, and Aaron Burr, so that the choice was thrown into the out-going, Federalist controlled House of Representatives. Plans to have the House rule out Jefferson and Burr in favor of a Federalist stalwart were openly discussed. 1,500 Republicans of Maryland and Virginia were reported to be preparing to descend on Washington to assassinate any man thus chosen. The Governor of Maryland was urged to …

Swiss Literature, Heinz K. Meier
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Switzerland has a rich literary tradition. In modern times both the German- and the French-speaking regions have produced important writers who left distinctive marks on the literature and culture of their time. The 18th century was a time of literary florescence in Switzerland. Important writers of that period include the Bernese patrician Albrecht von Haller (1708-77), whose long poem Die Alpen (1729; The Alps) extols the beauty and grandeur of nature; Johann Jokob Bodmer (1698-1783) and Johann Jakob Breitinger (1701-66) of Zurich, who helped free German literature from the confines of rigid rules; Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712- 78), "citizen of Geneva," …

Marti, Kurt (1921-), Swiss poet and essayist, was born in Bern. He studied law and theology and became a Protestant minister.

Albert Gallatin, The Man Of Peace, William D. Carter Iii
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
On July 15, 1780, a nineteen-year old graduate of the Academy of Geneva, after forty-nine days voyage on the American vessel Kitty, put ashore at Cape Anne, Massachusetts, and on a borrowed horse rode twenty-six miles to Boston. Thus began the fortunes in the New World of Albert Gallatin who, until his death at 89 years, was to make an outstanding contribution to the life of his adopted country. Thanks to the systematic organization of his correspondence, now available in the New York Historical Society, and the dissemination of microfilms of this correspondence made possible by New York University, it …

Albert Gallatin, 176101849, A Genevan In The American Enlightenment: An Essay In Interpretation, Leo Schelbert
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Albert Gallatin has been called "America's Forgotten Statesman."1 A review of scholarly and public endeavors shows, however, that he has received serious attention, especially in recent decades. Best known is, perhaps, the excellent biography by Raymond Walters Jr. of 1957, a concise, learned, and balanced portrait.2 In 1958 Rutgers University Press published Alexander Balinky's Albert Gallatin Fiscal Theories and Policies, a comprehensive study. Although Balinky profoundly misunderstood .Gallatin in favor of Hamiltonian programs, he offered nevertheless a scholarly treatise to be reckoned with.3 In 1963 Gayle Thornbrough edited the Correspondence of John Badollet and Albert Gallatin …

Jacques Chessex (1934), Ursula Schoeni
Jacques Chessex (1934), Ursula Schoeni
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Chessex's work is largely autobiographical, replete with the theme of the defiance of death, marked by contradictions, and boldly stressing immoderate and violent feelings, and yet his language is almost classical in its restraint. In 1963 Chessex was awarded the Schiller Prize and in 1973 the Goncourt Prize.
