Extractions: Originally published August 2004 When Krista Goff arrived at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., four years ago, her passport was all but empty. The Seattle native had been out of the United States just once, and that was to visit nearby Canada. But during her junior year, she spent a semester abroad in the former Soviet Union, splitting her time between Siberia and St. Petersburg, where she lived with an Armenian community. Her interviews with them, conducted in Russian, formed the basis for the honors thesis project on transnational identity that the triple major in Russian, history, and Russian, Central, and Eastern European studies wrote her senior year. During her final semester this past spring, Goff co-organized a conference on Central Asia that brought five scholars to Macalester to demystify the little-known region. You believe her when she says, "I've never felt limited here, ever."

Extractions: Archives With Ed Bearss, reviewed by Marilyn Dicke The Smithsonian Associates Civil War E-Mail Newsletter, Volume 6 Number 6 Ed related that General Lee grew his famous beard during the very cold and wet winter of 1861. While encamped in these mountains, Lee developed a very complex plan to defeat the Union Army at Cheat Mountain. General Rust was the lynchpin for a five-pronged attack. Unfortunately, he never acted and they were defeated badly by Union General Reynolds. Finally, in January 1862, General Lee won the Battle of Allegheny Mountain and thus kept control of the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike. Our own valley campaign was drawing to a close, and the troops in the bus were tired after two days of hard marching with Ed Bearss. But not Ed. He was still going strong all the way home, juggling questions and sharing more Civil War anecdotes. Ed made the early days of the Civil War, and the people who lived them, come alive.

Extractions: The study of how the modern United States emerged begins with the Progressive era. It deserves careful study because, among other things, it included the nation's most vibrant set of reform ideas and campaigns since the 1830s-40s. Progressives were a diverse lot with various agendas that sometimes jostled uneasily, but all reformers focused on a set of corrosive problems arising from rapid industrialization, urbanization, waves of immigration, and business and political corruption. Students can be inspired by how fervently the Progressives applied themselves to the renewal of American democracy. They can also profit from understanding the distinctively female reform culture that contributed powerfully to the movement. Two of the problems confronted by Progressives are still central today. First, the Progressives faced the dilemma of how to maintain the material benefits flowing from the industrial revolution while bringing the powerful forces creating those benefits under democratic control and while enlarging economic opportunity. Second, Progressives faced the knotted issue of how to maintain democracy and national identity amid an increasingly diverse influx of immigrants and amid widespread political corruption and the concentration of political power. Of all the waves of reformism in American history, Progressivism is notable for its nearly all-encompassing agenda. As its name implies, it stood for progress, and that put it squarely in the American belief in the perfectible society.

Newton had moved into Tissot's house and in 1876 she had a son, who may have been Tissot's child. "This unconventional relationship seems to have affected the painter's welcome in polite English society, for he withdrew to his own smaller, more tolerant Bohemian circles, concentrating increasingly on depictions of Newton," says Tissot scholar Nancy Marshall in the exhibition catalogue, which she cowrote with Warner. The Yale exhibit is designed to "present Tissot on his own terms, to bring out the intelligence, the inventiveness, and the humour that make him such a highly enjoyable artist," notes Warner. see related story

Review: Victorian Painting Lambourne leads us as if he were a tour guide, allowing us to look long enough to On the surface his panorama of the victorian era, is not so terribly http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/english/19c/books/rev-0-7148-3776-8.html
Extractions: Reviewed by David Stewart, University of Alabama in Huntsville Lionel Lambourne's Victorian Painting is as panoramic, as dazzling, and as multifaceted as the view of London from the new London Eye Ferris Wheel. From such a height one sees the world as a seamless whole. We see the East End and the West End, and we see Victorian painting from Holman Hunt to Lady Butler. The view is satisfying and complete. Lambourne's book sets before us what the nineteenth-century panorama set before its audience: a remarkable substitute for the real thing. Giving us the feeling that seeing what lies on the surface is understanding, Lambourne offers us the remarkable opportunity to come to know this period through the eye alone. Victorian Painting contains the finest collection of color reproductions of Victorian works that exists today. The text is another matter. It entertains and adds to the sense of spectacle, but, as with most survey texts, it sacrifices depth of textual analysis for breadth and sweep. Lambourne leads us as if he were a tour guide, allowing us to look long enough to be satisfied, but rarely long enough to dig in. He keeps us moving with entertaining anecdotes and broad generalizations but neglects context and analysis. Victorian Painting is an overview, and not a daring attempt to set art within the complex economic, political, social, literary, and philosophical contexts of its day. By contrast, Kenneth Bendiner's
Review: Death And The Mother From Dickens To Freud is a plot device familiar in periods before and after the victorian era, Dever s study supplies us with readings of wellmined texts that are fresh http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/english/19c/books/rev-0-521-62280-8.html
Extractions: Cambridge University Press, 1998, xv + 233 pp., ISBN 0-521-62280-8, $49.95 Reviewed by David Toise, Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus Carolyn Dever's study, Death and the Mother from Dickens to Freud: Victorian Fiction and the Anxiety of Origins, traces the figure of the absent mother from that moment in the nineteenth century when "maternal loss develop[ed] from a structural device to a psychological phenomenon" (7). Dever follows the figure of the dead or lost mother from its instantiation in Dickens up until its "appropriation" by Freud (3), an appropriation central to Freud's narrative of psychological development. The study is thus concerned with connections between the textual production of fiction, shifting articulations of gender, and the history of psychoanalysis. Through sophisticated deconstructive readings, these interests are brought to bear on texts by Charles Dickens, William Wilkie Collins, George Eliot, Charles Darwin, and Virginia Woolf. Acknowledging that "[m]aternal absence is a plot device familiar in periods before and after the Victorian" era, Dever examines how a particular model of intersubjectivity, melancholia, is linked to the figure of the mother in the nineteenth century (22). Melancholia is defined by the refusal to let go of a lost object, a refusal that leads to the internalization of the lost object as part of the self. For Dever, Samuel Richardson's

Go Read More Posts On FuturePundit June 09, 2005 Babyfaced Politicians Lose Elections Alexander Todorov , on the faculty of the Psychology Department at Princeton University, has found that when people are shown quick exposures to pictures of politicians they can rate them on perceived competence and that rating mirrors how those politicians did in elections for the US House of Representatives and US Senate. Psychologist Alexander Todorov of Princeton University had volunteers look at black-and-white photographs of House and Senate winners and losers from elections in 2000 and 2002, and the competing candidates prior to the 2004 contests. The faces had to be unknown to the participants; images of Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., John McCain, R-Ariz., and John Kerry, D-Mass., for example, were immediately eliminated. ``It was just on facial appearance, it could not be influenced by any other information,'' Todorov said in an interview. The study found that the candidate perceived as more competent was the winner in 72 percent of the Senate races and 67 percent of the House races.

Extractions: M ID- A TLANTIC C ENTER FOR THE A RTS Located in Cape May, New Jersey on a Victorian estate built in 1879. Students get an introduction to the Victorian lifestyle through a distance learning session from the Carriage House Gallery at the Emlen Physick Estate. Using artifacts from the collection, reproductions and historic engravings, museum educators point out the differences and similarities between life today and it was lived in Cape May over 100 years ago. Victorian women of the upper classes were idealized as wives and mothers, but sheltered from the real world in the cocoon of their homes by Victorian men. In this richly illustrated lecture, learn the reasons for this and its advantages and disadvantages, how the clothing of the Victorian women reflected their roles and how clothing evolved to suit an evolving lifestyle. "Victorian Women II: Shedding the Cocoon" As the Victorian era progressed, more and more women began to shed their cocoons, replacing them with full participation in society. Learn of the forces, movements and individuals involved in the metaphoric evolution of Victorian women and their lifestyles. The contributions of dozens of women will be discussed in this illustrated program.
