A New-England Tale; Or, Sketches of New-England Character and Manners
Authors: Sedgwick Catharine Maria , Davidson Cathy N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Written in 1822, A New-England Tale is the first of Catharine Sedgwick’s twenty novels published in her lifetime. It concerns the moral and religious development of a young orphan girl in rural New England, and provides an intriguing sketch of the social, political, and religious climate of early America, and of the methods of representation by early women writers. The editors’ introduction locates the novel in its historical and political context, and provides a biographical sketch of Sedgwick.
Chapter IX
Authors: Sedgwick Catharine Maria , Davidson Cathy N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It was on the evening of the day on which the conversation we have related, had occurred between young Wilson and his mother, that Jane, just as she had parted with Erskine, after an unusually delightful walk, and was entering her aunt’s door, heard her name pronounced in a low voice. She turned, and saw an old man emerging from behind a projection of the house. He placed his finger on his lips by way of an admonition to silence, and said softly to Jane, “For the love of Heaven, come to my house to-night; you may save life; tell no one, and come after the family is in bed.”
Chapter X
Authors: Sedgwick Catharine Maria , Davidson Cathy N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The name of the stranger was Mary Oakley. Her parents had gone out adventurers to the West Indies, where, at the opening of flattering prospects, they both died victims to the fever of the climate, which seldom spares a northern constitution. Mary, then in her infancy, had been sent home to her grand-parents, who nursed this only relict of their unfortunate children with doating fondness. They were in humble life; and they denied themselves every comfort, that they might gratify every wish, reasonable and unreasonable, of their darling child. She, affectionate and ardent in her nature, grew up impetuous and volatile.
Confusion of Tongues
Authors: Moon Michael , Sedgwick Eve Kosofsky 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
MM: My mother was a Van Velsor: I favor her: “favor” they call it up on Long Island-a curious word so used, yet a word of great suggestiveness. EKS: Often people would say-men, women, children, would sayMM:”You are a Whitman: I know you.” EKS: When I asked how they knew they would up with a finger at me: MM: “By your features, your gait, your voice: they are your mother’s.” EKS: I think all that was, is, true: I could see it in myself (WWC 2: 280). MM: In this exchange we want to re-examine the matter of Walt Whitman’s relationship with his mother, Louisa Van Velsor Whitman-his intense identifications and disidentifications with her and hers with him, as well as some possible connections between her writing and style (in the broadest sense of the term) and his. EKS: My mother was illiterate in the formal sense but strangely knowing: she excelled in narrative-had great mimetic power: she could tell stories, impersonate: ... was very original in her manner, her style (WWC 2: 113-14). MM: Leaves of Grass is the flower of her temperament active in me (WWC 2: 113). EKS: We’ve undertaken this project not only out of our dissatisfaction with the prevailing ideas of Louisa Whitman in Whitman criticism and biography, but from our even stronger dissatisfaction with prevailing ideas of the significance of relations between queer men and the women who are our mothers. Louisa Whitman, Lady Wilde, Julia Warhola: adult women, mothers, collaborators and coconspirators in the generativity of adult queer men who knew them, and were known to them, as few adults of any sexuality learn to know one another across the divide of gender.
Whitman Drunk
Authors: Warner Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In November 1842, New Yorkers would have been able to buy, for twelve and a half cents each, or for eight dollars per hundred, an object that would be hard to classify today. It was called Franklin Evans; or, the Inebriate. Now it is encountered as a book, and is usually described as a novel. In 1842 it was a newspaper supplement-a special issue of the New World, unbound, printed on cheap paper, in newspaper columns. Any reader would have recognized it as a tract as well. The New World’s advertisements for it had begun, “Friends of Temperance, Ahoy!” (EPF 124). The first sentence makes no bones about these extranovelistic features: “The story I am going to tell you, reader, will be somewhat aside from the ordinary track of the novelist” (EPF 126). Those who read Franklin F:vans today, as a novel, often find it unsatisfactory; one reason for this is that the work addressed publics that were not simply novelistic publics. Newspaper subscribers and “Friends of Temperance” would have brought to the object the mass-mediated self understanding of the temperance movement. And that was a public in a new way. Temperance publications like Franklin Evans brought together two tendencies of the early national period: an ever more aggressive press, which had become strongly entrepreneurial; and a tradition of association that by the time of Tocqueville’s American tour could seem to be the defining feature of American culture.
“When the World Strips Down and Rouges Up”: Redressing Whitman
Authors: Davidson Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In his speech to the Republican Convention in August 1992, Patrick Buchanan described the previous month’s Democratic Convention as “that giant masquerade ball up at Madison Square Garden where twenty thousand liberals and radicals came dressed up as moderates and centrists-in the greatest single exhibition of cross-dressing in American political history.”1 On one level, Buchanan’s invective was addressed to what he perceives as the liberal platform of the Democrats-their inclusion of abortion rights, health care reform, and environmental issues at the convention. On another level, it was addressed to the increasing presence of gay and lesbian issues in American political life-Arns research, domestic partners legislation, job protection, artistic censorship--which challenge the Family Values agenda of the religious right. By regarding Democrats as political transvestites, Buchanan may link sexual and political identities such that (so-called) perversity in one sphere may be read as corruption in another.
Ghetto Chronicles: Life at the Brink
Authors: Langer Lawrence L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Although diaries of the deathcamp experience were still being dug up in the ruins of the gas chambers at Auschwitz as late as 1962, they were few in number, often fragmentary, and usually in poor condition. The most detailed records of Jewish existence during the Holocaust are to be found in archives and chronicles from ghettos like Warsaw, Lodz, and Kovno. Carefully hidden or buried at the time, they surfaced after the war to furnish vivid accounts of how an oppressed and deceived people managed the daily rhythms of life as the Germans contrived their relentless migration toward death.
Understanding Atrocity: Killers and Victims in the Holocaust
Authors: Langer Lawrence L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Murders at Bullenhuser Damm is a documentary account, painstakingly assembled by a West German journalist, of the hanging of twenty Jewish children between the ages of five and twelve in an auxiliary’ camp of Neuengamme concentration camp near Hamburg during the closing days of World War 11. The accused killers, SS guards, officers, and doctors, called their activity “obeying orders from above.” We would call it “concealing the evidence” of some of the most bizarre and senseless medical experiments ever performed on human subjects in the name of scientific progress during the melancholy years of the Third Reich. The details of the experiments, their consequences, and the fate of the young victims make sad but compelling reading. But the real value of this important book is the insights it gives us into the minds of the killers, ordinary men of no singular ability who gain our attention because they were powerful and willing enough to murder, without compunction or demurral, little Jewish children.
The Americanization of the Holocaust on Stage and Screen
Authors: Langer Lawrence L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We bring to the imaginative experience of the Holocaust a foreknowledge of man’s doom. Not his fate, but his doom. The Greeks sat spellbound in their arenas in Athens and witnessed the unfolding of what they already knew: proud and defiant men and women submitting to an insurrection in their spirit that rebelled against limitations. Oedipus and Phaedra, Orestes and Antigone hurl their own natures against laws human or divine, suffer the intrusions of chance and coincidence, but make their fate by pursuing or being driven by weaknesses or strengths that are expressions of the human will. Whether they survive or die, they affirm the painful, exultant feeling of being human; they declare that man, in the moral world at least, is an agent in the fate we call his death.
Epidemiology and Health Services
Authors: Aremenian Haroutune K , Shapiro Sam 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
What is the relevance of epidemiology to decision-making in health services? If our ability to launch large-scale experimental studies of health services is limited, what are some alternative approaches to study design? How can we best make use of routinely collected data from health information systems? How can we best synthesize information to make more reasonable inferences? These are some of the questions that Epidemiology and Health Services tries to answer. The book starts with three chapters on strategies for problem investigation, problem solving, and program development and evaluation. These are followed by nine chapters that give a theoretical overview of specific methods and then present case studies. The cases are based on important investigations of health services and are followed by questions and discussions that guide readers through the most salient issues of these studies. This is a book that addresses the needs of a broad spectrum of health professionals. It will help health service administrators, managers and other professional design and conduct evaluative and intervention research on the delivery of health services. And it will give epidemiology and public health students a wider perspective on applicatons of the discipline.
Case-Control Methods
Authors: Armenian Haroutune K 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The high cost and complex logistics of conducting randomized experimental studies make them difficult to develop routinely to evaluate the delivery of health care. In addition to cost and logistics, there are other problems in setting up a randomized trial. For example, it is difficult to assess a problem as complex as an alternative system of delivery of medical care using a randomized trial, and it is difficult to justify a randomized clinical trial if efficacy is already established and our primary concern in evaluating an intervention is its adverse effects. In both instances, well-designed observational studies may provide an alternative to randomized clinical trials. Table 8-1 lists some of the situations where an alternative approach to randomized trials should be considered.
Randomized Controlled Trials in Health Services Research
Authors: Shapiro Sam 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The randomized controlled trial (RCT) is recognized as the most rigorous method available for testing hypotheses in the health care field. It is a longitudinal, prospective method in which a population or defined set of subjects is randomly allocated into subgroups ‘‘to receive or not to receive an experimental preventive or therapeutic procedure, maneuver, or intervention” (Last, 1988, p. 110). The objective is to determine the efficacy or effectiveness of the intervention through the comparison of a defined outcome in an experimental group and a control group.
Prologue
Authors: Lindgren James M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Year by year as the nineteenth century waned, the North End house in which Paul Revere had lived and from which he went on his fateful mid night ride seemed more threatened by adjacent tenements. By 1900 the compact neighborhood had the dubious distinction of being “the most crowded one hundred acres of land on earth.” The locale had once been Boston’s finest, but a diverse population of destitute immigrants now lived there. By sheer numbers alone, they seemed destined to alter the city’s Yankee identity. Samuel Adams Drake, a popular antiquary, voiced nothing but disdain when he found the air around the house “thick with the vile odors of garlic and onions-of maccaroni and lazzaroni,” while the adjacent “dirty tenements swarmed with greasy voluble Italians.”1 Yan kee social workers, meanwhile, were warning that degeneracy and crime were on the rise.
“It Belongs to Men Like You”
Authors: Lindgren James M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Spnea bore the distinct stamp of its founder William Sumner Appleton, Jr. (1874-1947). Born into the Brahmin caste and reared in the traditions of Beacon Hill, Harvard University, and Boston’s elite institutions, Appleton made preservation his life’s work and benefaction. SPNEA enlisted the help of many prominent Yankees, but none surpassed that of Apple ton. His lifelong career was rooted within his own history. Undoubtedly one of the most prominent families in New England, the Appletonstraced their lineage to Samuel Appleton, a settler of Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1636. The founder of SPNEA was born at 39 Beacon Street, one of Boston’s finest bow-fronted houses (Fig. 1-1). Designed by Alexander Parris in a restrained Greek Revival style, the house was built for Nathan Appleton in 1818-19.1 Nathan’s life, first as a farm boy, then as a merchant and industrialist, and finally as a public servant, molded the family. He founded one of the nation’s first integrated textile mills in 1828, but feared that an industrial economy would replicate the class conflict and degradation of Europe’s factories.
On Letting the Music Speak for Itself
Authors: Taruskin Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The title of today’s panel may suggest that I will give a state-of-the-art report on the relationship between musicology and performance or else outline a program for the future development of that relationship. But neither would be worth my while to prepare nor yours to hear. Things are going well. Never, it seems, have scholars and performers worked so closely and happily together or learned more from each other, nor have so many ever before combined the roles as successfully as now. Musicologically trained performers are proliferating in graduate programs around the country. Historical performance practice is now a recognized subdiscipline both of academic musicology and of conservatory curricula. When Mr. Henahan of the New York Times can devote a Sunday column to the merits of historical instruments, or when Mr. Rockwell of the same paper, in a glowing review of Pomerium Musices, can actually list among the group’s assets that its director is a musicologist, we may all take some justifiable satisfaction in going at last off the defensive vis-a-vis the press and, let us hope, the public. May this trend of recognition continue. We’ve all worked hard for it, we deserve it, and everything I say here is meant to abet it.
Down with the Fence
Authors: Taruskin Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Times have certainly changed since this book’s like-named predecessor-a 22-page booklet jointly authored by Thurston Dart, Walter Emery, and Christopher Morris-was jointly published by Stainer & Bell, Novello, and the Oxford University Press in 1963. For one thing, the booklet carried the Arcadian legend, so widely remarked in its time, that ‘‘The Publishers do not claim copyright in this book, and it may be freely quoted without acknowledgment,” while the 125-page replacement has the standard businesslike warnings against infringements. For another, the flighty, avuncular, jocularly dogmatic obiter dicta of the earlier publication have been replaced by Mr. Caldwell’s serious, thorough, at times weighty discussions-in-the-round of sundry issues, which chiefly account for the fivefold increase in the volume’s girth. Both booklet and book are symptomatic of their respective times. What was once an essentially amateur activity has become solidly academicized and professional ized. It is taken seriously. John Caldwell’s treatment of his subject does honor to its newwon status. At a time when some writers have seen fit conspicuously to downgrade the editorial function in the scheme of things musicological, it is good to see a book that upholds it so ardently. No musicological activity is more important than editing, for it is competent editing that makes most of the rest possible.
Resisting the Ninth
Authors: Taruskin Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Something that used to puzzle fans who listened to the souvenir recordings of the old Hoffnung Music Festivals without having attended them was the extra roar of laughter that would swell upduring the applause at the conclusion of each travesty. It was the response to a favorite sight gag: the conductor would customarily leap off the podium and bound over to shake the kettledrummer’s hand instead of the concertmaster’s. And that is just what I felt like doing after hearing this extraordinary recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Always something of a timpani concerto among symphonies-besides the famous solos in the Scherzo there is the horripilating tattoo that all but drowns out the first movement recapitulation, the confiding exchanges with the cellos and basses in the third movement coda, the shimmering roll that supports the most visionary moment in the finale, and much besides-the Ninth is enhanced immeasurably on this occasion by the stupendous playing of Robert Howes and the superbly responsive instrument on which he deploys his sticks.
Stravinsky Lite (Even “The Rite”)
Authors: Taruskin Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The first volume in Robert Craft’s planned Musicmasters recording of the complete Stravinsky (01612 67078; two CDs) includes an early warhorse, The Rite of Spring, and Stravinsky’s last major composition, Requiem Canticles, in which Mr. Craft competes against his own prior recording, executed in Stravinsky’s presence. There are three major Neoclassical scores, Oedipus Rex, the Symphony of Psalms, and the Symphony in Three Movements, and three lagniappes, Fanfare for a New Theater for two trumpets, a Fanfare for Three Trumpets originally intended as the opening of Agon, and the Pas de Deux somewhat inexplicably excerpted from Apollo. The orchestra, where there is one, is the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. As a theorist of musical performance, Igor Stravinsky gave early voice to ideas that achieved widespread currency only decades later with the advent of the ‘‘Early Music” movement and its peculiar etiquette.
Telling Our Selves Ethnicity and Discourse in Southwestern Alaska
Authors: Hensel Chase 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this book, Chase Hensel examines how Yup’ik Eskimos and non-natives construct and maintain gender and ethnic identities through strategic talk about hunting, fishing, and processing. Although ethnicity is overtly constructed in terms of either/or categories, the discourse of Bethel residents suggests that their actual concern is less with whether one is native or non-native, than how native one is in a given context. In the interweaving of subsistence practices and subsistence discourse, ethnicity is constantly recreated. This type of discourse occurs in a conversational setting where ethnicity is both implicitly and explicitly contested. While the book is ethnographic, it is not “about Eskimo’s.” Rather it is about how Bethel residents use similar forms of discourse to strategically validate disparate identities. In this context, the homeland of Yup’ik Eskimos, subsistence is the focus of people’s interactions, regardless of their ascriptive ethnicity. Even people who spend little time in subsistence activities spend a great deal of time in subsistence conversation. Unlike traditional ethnographies which focus on traditions, and consequently tend to reify the past, this contemporary ethnography focuses on contemporary preoccupations of identity and meaning. The ethnographic description becomes a device for preserving and explicating the opulent polysemy of situated talk.
Contemporary Practices and Ideologies
Authors: Hensel Chase 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It’s early June and a beautiful sunny day with temperatures of up to seventy degrees Fahrenheit forecast. The net is in the boat, and there is a full tank ofgas. The gear includes a fish tub, oars, a fish club, rope, life jackets, rain gear, food, and two large buoys for the ends of the net, in addition to the fifty fathom (one hundred-yard) net. We motor slowly out through Brown’s Slough, successfully avoiding submerged fuel drums, sunken logs, and derelict boats. After a brief discussion we decide to try what I’ve jokingly heard called the “Sears and Roebuck drift.” It’s an easy drift, like mail ordering fish, and is favored by non-Natives, though Yupiit drift net there also. It begins near the bottom of an island in the channel across from Bethel and extends downriver for more than a mile. The tide is still running out fairly hard, and this drift has the advantage of being relatively snag free. With lesser used drifts, there is a greater chance of entangling the lead line around a sunken log or stump. We unfold a tarp and put it over the side of the boat, so that the net will feed out without snagging. It feeds out fairly well, with one person tossing out the float line and the lead line running out free, but there are still places where the mesh is caught over a float, or wrapped up around a twig.
Subsistence, Identity, and Meaning
Authors: Hensel Chase 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
My wife (Phyllis Morrow) and I have been asked by some friends to help them get started cutting king salmon strips. They have a one-half interest in a boat, and are going to give us a call when they have some fish. We’ve talked to them about the process, and they have made a small drying rack to which sides can be added when it’s time to smoke the fish. We arrive with lulus and a honing steel, bowls, some white plastic buckets, and extra twine. Our friends are actually quite well set up, except that they’ve forgotten to get salt. They have six kings to process. Phyllis starts cutting and demonstrating filleting while I return home for some salt and a washtub. When I get back she has filleted the first two and its cutting them into strips about an inch wide while one of our friends tries filleting a small king. She does an OK job, and the strips will probably dry without spoilage if the weather holds clear. I make up some brine, then start tying the strips in pairs of about equal size. Getting the knots right is important so that the strips don’t slip out and fall to the ground. The sun is shining, and it’s hot and still. The mosquitos have certainly found us. We start bringing the first bucketful, then go back to tying. We talk about the frustrations of working at the hospital, various friends we have in common, and how the fishing is.
