Ade Treasurer's Report, Fiscal Year, September 1, 2002-August 31, 2003, Gary E. Moulton

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

The finances of the Association for Documentary Editing are sound. 91 There has been a decrease in the general budget of $377, giving us unrestricted assets totaling $59,706. This year's slight reduction is mitigated by the large increase from last year ($7,401), and that large overage partly explains the present showing. A portion of the money for last year's conference in Washington, D.C., was received before the fiscal year began, so those monies were reported for the year in which they were received rather than across two years. In the present single-page report the Washington conference looks to have a …

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

The following cumulative index (Documentary Editing 25:4 [Winter 2003]) reflects theories and practices that have changed in the past couple of decades as represented in the annual indexes of the journal (1979-2003) and also the 10th anniversary cumulative index in the December issue of 1989. Major inconsistencies and omissions have been corrected in the current version; differences in indexing decisions remain.

Behind The Veil? Catharine Sedgwick And Anonymous Publication, Melissa J. Homestead

Department of English: Faculty Publications

The idea that women in past centuries withheld their names because they experienced their own authorship as shameful or scandalous has achieved the character of received wisdom. Ask a typical lower-level undergraduate what she knows about women's authorship in the United States during the years of Sedgwick's greatest productivity (the 1820s through the 1840s), and she will tell you: "It wasn't considered respectable for women to write back then, so they didn't give their names, or they took male pseudonyms." I argue instead that Sedgwick's anonymity was a market strategy for constructing an authorial persona rather than an absence of …

Eighteenth-Century British Circulating Libraries And Cultural Book History, Edward Jacobs

English Faculty Publications

Circulating library catalogs offer one of the most revealing views available of book publishing and reading in eighteenth-century Britain, since those catalogs and the libraries they document were put together by book traders whose livelihood depended upon giving an unprecedentedly wide range of British readers the books they wanted. Of course, the perspective on eighteenth-century British book culture provided by their catalogs is nowhere near as comprehensive as the Eighteenth-Century Short Title Catalog (ESTC) or the recently published first volume of The English Novel 1770– 1829: A Bibliographical Survey of Prose Fiction Published in the British Isles (TEN), which “seeks …

Editing Bill Gates's E-Mail, Beth Luey

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

Although there has been a great deal of discussion about preserving electronic documents, editors have given little thought to how these would be edited once preserved, and no one has yet proposed an edition of electronic correspondence. Many argue that "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof," but I think we need to get our collective head out of the sand and grapple with the relevant issues. Toward that end, I offer a plan for an edition of the e-mail of Bill Gates. It is, at the moment, purely hypothetical, but that could change at any moment.

An Awakened Spirit: Review Of The Selected Papers Of Jane Addams: Volume 7, Preparing To Lead. Edited By Mary Lynn Mccree Bryan, Barbara Bair, And Maree De Angury., Kate Culkin

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

The popular image of Jane Addams is "The Angel of Hull House," a -1 matronly woman selflessly devoting herself to helping the nation's immigrants. The Selected Papers of Jane Addams: Volume 7, Preparing to Lead, 7860-7887, edited by Mary Lynn McCree Bryan, Barbara Bair, and Maree de Angury, illuminates a more complex, and more interesting, woman behind the angelic image. The book, the first of several planned volumes, covers the early years of Addams's life, from her childhood through her graduation from the Rockford Female Seminary. Letters, diary entries, speeches, school essays, poetry, and debates illustrate Addams's intellectual and emotional …

On The Road With President James Monroe: Review Of The Papers Of James Monroe, Volume 1: A Documentary History Of The Presidential Tours Of James Monroe, 1817, 1818, 1819. Edited By Dan Preston And Marlena C. Delong., David R. Hoth

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

The first volume of the long-awaited Papers of James Monroe uses mostly ·1 newspaper accounts, supplemented with correspondence and a few memoirs, to record President Monroe's tour of the northern states in 1817, his short tour of the Chesapeake Bay region in 1818, and his tour of the southern and western states in 1819. According to the introduction, these tours were particularly important because they became political events that "allowed the president to take his ideas directly to the people" (xxvii) and thus contributed, somewhat contrary to Monroe's desire to unify the nation, to the emerging shift of American politics …

Developing Web-Based Listening Exercises: Pedagogic Principles And Materials Design, Cynthia F.K. Lee

PASAA

This paper describes the pedagogic principles and design of Web-based listening exercises for tertiary-level Chinese EFL learners. Following the claim that videos and multimedia resources assist listening comprehension (e.g., Brett, 2000), as well as the framework for grading listening input suggested by Brown and Yule (1983), the exercises are based on local television and radio programmes, and are graded from static to dynamic to abstract. The exercises carefully guide and prepare the learners from the pre-listening stage to the post-listening stage. A variety of exercises, such as listening for information, opinion and inference, and partial dictation, were developed. The learners …

Confessions Of A Deceitful Correspondent, Mary Jo Kline

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

In evaluating personal correspondence, most editors must spend considerable time speculating on authorial intention and the responses of the women and men who were the intended audience for each letter. Tonight I shall discuss what may be learned from an archive of letters where little such informed guesswork is necessary. At least on my part.

Scholarly Editions And The National Endowment For The Humanities, Bruce Cole

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

Good morning. It's a pleasure to be here. I am an admirer and grateful user of a number of documentary editions produced by people in this room. On a small scale, as an editor of a scholarly edition of Ridolfi's The Life of Titian, I experienced the rigors and rewards of your special kind of academic labor. The work is painstaking, repetitive, sometimes tedious. For many editions, scholars must invest decades in close reading, collaborative research, and careful transcription.

But your work has permanence and resonance. It is significant that some scholarly editions are published on paper meant to last …

The Ideal Of Professional Housekeeping: Review Of Catharine E. Beecher And Harriet Beecher Stowe, The American Woman S Home. Edited By Nicole Tonkovich., Glenna R. Schroeder-Lein

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

When sisters Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe published The American Woman's Home, or, Principles of Domestic Science; Being a Guide to the Formation and Maintenance of Economical, Healthful, Beautiful and Christian Homes in 1869 as both a textbook for girls' schools and a home reference work, the new book quickly became the standard in its field. It replaced, and drew heavily from, Catharine's earlier Treatise on Domestic Economy (1841). In addition, the sisters used material from columns written by Harriet, and in some instances copiously quoted male authorities on certain subjects. The result was not a book to …

Special Interview With Professor Dr. Anne Burns

First of all, we would like to know your opinion about action research.

Action Research In Action: Some Practical Examples, Anne Burns

PASAA

In recent years references to action research have become more and more common in the ELT literature and there are now a number of useful publications that provide guidance for doing action research (e.g., Nunan, 1988; Wallace, 1998; Burns, 1999; Edge, 2001). But action research can be a puzzling and unfamiliar concept for many teachers, as Jane Hamilton, a teacher I worked with recently, suggested:

Team English In Adolescent Large Efl Classes, Marguerite G. Macdonald, Zena M. Thiravithul, William Butkulwong, Pranee Kednoi

PASAA

Teachers attempting to use communicative language teaching in large EFL classes often encounter challenges that are difficult to overcome. In this article, the authors describe a case study using Team English, an approach promoting communicative language learning in groups within a color-coded team organization. The project director and participating teachers addressed ways to implement and manage group work using cooperative learning concepts. The project showed that, while some difficulties persisted, overall Team English provided potential solutions for most of the problems related to large classes.
