“For the Gaze of the Whites”: The Crisis of the Subject in “Benito Cereno”
Authors: Nelson Dana D 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Reading “race” in “Benito Cereno” has a history as fraught with contention as the debates over the meaning of “race” in the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Scholars have for decades been concerned with how “Benito Cereno” reflects on Melville’s own political stance. F. 0. Matthiessen, Charles Neider, Joseph Schiffman, and Sidney Kaplan have argued that the story reveals Melville’s racism, however unconsciously. More recent critics-including Carolyn Karcher, Marvin Fisher, and Charles Swann-maintain that Melville’s intention in “Benito Cereno” was quite the opposite. They argue that in the story Melville questions and even radically subverts American racism of the antebellum period.
Semen Cryopreservation
Authors: Mortimer David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Cryopreservation is the branch of cryobiology concerned with the maintenance or, more correctly, suspension of life during (prolonged) storage in the frozen state at ultralow temperatures. The fundamental principle of cryopreservation is that if the water inside a cell is converted to ice at temperatures low enough to effectively arrest molecular movement (freezing), the biochemical processes of cellular metabolism are suspended. Successful cryopreservation also requires that the biological system can be subsequently returned to normal temperatures (thawing) without sustaining biochemical or structural injuries that cause the cell to die. In the frozen state the cell is effectively in suspended animation.
Introduction: Master and Worm; Anarchist and Idiot
Authors: Posnock Ross 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Since this book, I hope, will interest not only literary critics but intellectual historians in various fields, it may seem perverse to begin with two concluding moments in Henry James’s late fiction. But they provide a convenient point of entry to my set of concerns in the present study. Near the close of The Ambassadors, Maria Gostrey and Lambert Strether recall an earlier “curiosity felt by both of them as to where he would ‘come out’ “ if his delicate mission to return Chad to America came “to smash.” In the wake of Strether’s botched mission, his Parisian pleasures, and his uncertain American future, they realize that “he was out, in truth, as far as it was possible to be” (342). Near the end of The Golden Bowl, James’s last completed novel, Maggie Verver is close to reclaiming her straying husband and renewing their marriage on a new basis of sexual intensity. She compares her husband, an Italian prince “fixed in his place,” with her own evolving status. Whereas Amerigo’s place “was like something made for him beforehand,” Maggie’s “own had come to show simply as that improvised ‘post’ ... of the kind spoken of as advanced” and serving “a settler or trader in a new country.
“The Amazing Hotel-World”: The American Scene of 1904
Authors: Posnock Ross 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In an important essay of 1907, H. G. Dwight commends The American Scene as a “valuable commentary, social and aesthetic, on the democratic experiment” that supplements “the studies which have lately been making objective certain aspects of our industrial and political life.” Dwight claims that “nothing of the sort has been done with the same degree of sympathetic penetration-unless by Dr. Hugo Miinsterberg.” Unlike most critics of James’s book, Dwight perceives its multidisciplinary range and richness. Indeed, it is “fed from so many sources” that only “those of a later generation” will be able to unravel its implications (qtd. Gard 449). Thus Dwight tacitly invites us to locate James’s aesthetic, social, and political commentary in its contemporary intellectual context.
Genetics and Other Fields
Authors: Darden Lindley 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1926, the theory of the gene and the chromosome theory had much evidence in their favor; but unsolved problems remained. These included problems about gene action during development, about the nature of the gene, and about the role of genes in evolutionary change. For some, the theory of the gene became the foundation from which new problems in these areas were tackled. For others, however, problems not solved by the theory were judged to be serious difficulties for it. Those biologists concerned with embryological development, the chemical nature of the gene, and evolutionary problems assessed the theory of the gene differently.
Home Economics: Domestic Ideology in Belinda
Authors: Kowaleski-Wallace Elizabeth 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Unlike Castle Rackrent, Maria Edgeworth’s most popular work, Belinda has never been a favorite with her critics. The novel’s central fault may lie in the eponymous character, as the author herself suggested: “I really was so provoked with the cold tameness of that stick or stone Belinda, that I would have torn the pages to pieces; and really, I have not the heart or patience to correct her. As the hackney coachman said, ‘Mend you better make a new one.”‘ Particularly striking here is Edgeworth’s own admission that nothing could have rescued the heroine from her cursed insipidity: Belinda seems condemned to her very tameness by the didactic purpose of the novel, a purpose that demands her unyielding perfection. Indeed, one of the novel’s major flaws is the complacency of the main character, for such complacency leaves little room for tension. Belinda undergoes very little self-scrutiny or self-exploration. Unlike Fanny Burney’s comparable heroines, she experiences little self-doubt and rarely any convincing inner conflict.1
Multiple Authorship and the Myth of Solitary Genius
Authors: Stillinger Jack 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Most theories of interpretation and editing depend on a concept of single authorship. But literary works can and frequently do have multiple authors, sometimes with divided and even conflicting intentions among them. Stillinger explores multiple authorship in the case of Keats and his helpers who assisted in the creation of Isabella; John Stuart Mill and his wife in the writing of Mill's Autobiography; the author revising earlier versions of himself, as with Wordsworth in The Prelude; and the author interacting collaboratively with sources and influences (Coleridge in Biographia Literaria).
Who Wrote J. S. Mill’s Autobiography?
Authors: Stillinger Jack 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In many cases multiple authorship begins, literally, at home. We are all familiar with the traditional prefatorial acknowledgment to an author’s spouse, “without whom . . .” et cetera. The practice of spousal collaboration is so common (and the acknowledgments often so trite and perfunctory, if not patronizing) that it is difficult to focus on its consequences for authorial “authority” in a piece of writing. Indeed, when I published an earlier version of the present chapter in Victorian Studies (1983), an anonymous referee for the journal suggested that I “say a word or two about the implications in general . . . of the question of normal assistance of those mentioned in acknowledgments, copy-editors, later editors, etc.” That very “normality” is exactly what I wish to emphasize here; its role in textual production can be quite significant.
Plays and Films:Authors, Auteurs, Autres
Authors: Stillinger Jack 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In general, plays and films are by nature more explicitly collaborative than any of the other kinds of production discussed so far in this book. They are literally “show business” and, as such, have to sell to audiences or they go out of existence. They involve many more people and much greater expense than books, and require the commitment of investors who expect a profit. And not only does it take enormous numbers of people to create plays and films (agents, studio executives, producers, directors, writers, actors, designers, stage and camera technicians, editors, publicists and marketing executives, to name some of the large groups who may be responsible to the backers of the enterprise), but there are potential conflicts of interest and authority among them at every crucial moment of production.

SSWM Approximations
Authors: Gillespie John H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the previous chapter we made progress on a formidable diffusion model by using strong-selection weak-mutation (SSWM) limits to study the entry and egress of alleles from the population. Bolstered by this success, it is natural to seek other arenas to apply the SSWM methodology. Before setting off on the quest, however, we should step back for a moment and reflect on its purpose.
Roaring
Authors: Williams Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“The Lion Roars” by pianist Willie “the Lion” Smith is part talk and part music. In the talk, the Lion is (understandably) not at all specific in his terminology or his categories. “Ragtime,” “gutbucket,” “lowdown,” “in the alley”-they are all equivalent terms to him, as later are “ragtime,” “jazz,” “swing,” “stomp,” etc. And “rock and roll” comes from a description of the way gospels are done in Negro Baptist churches, not out of the brain of a disc jockey who didn’t want to say “rhythm and blues.” The historian and reviewer have got to be more specific about styles and movements, even if they seem arbitrary in. doing so.
How Long Has This Been Going On?
Authors: Williams Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Wynton Marsalis is not the first jazz musician to perform classical music, but he is surely the most widely accepted and the most popular. Marsalis is also obviously one of the most musically outstanding young jazz musicians in over a decade. His work might be called a synthesis, a virtuoso summary of everything that jazz trumpet has ever achieved and ever been. Marsalis is not the first about whom such a statement might be said. Almost a decade ago, it was obvious that Stanley Cowell (for one) was a comparable virtuoso for jazz piano and its history. Marsalis also has a counterpart in cornetist Warren Vache, who in the past decade has explored the history of jazz cornet-trumpet tradition in public, and by now has learned bebop thoroughly. He has also explored the possible range of his instrument high and low, with commendable virtuosity.
Bud Freeman: The Needed Individual
Authors: Williams Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the spring of 1968, tenor saxophonist Lawrence “Bud” Freeman was announcing his full recovery from an automobile accident which had resulted in multiple fractures of the rib cage. His physician, who had at first warned Freeman that it might be more than a year before he could play again, had pronounced him fully recovered within six months. Playing the saxophone, Freeman reported to Jack Bradley in Down Beat, feels “better than ever.
Record Date: Art Farmer and Jim Hall
Authors: Williams Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Trumpeter-and nowadays more frequently fluegelhornist Art Farmer has formed a quartet featuring guitarist Jim Hall, and the alliance promises to be fruitful. Both players are lyricists. Farmer, as a direct heir to the innovators of the late 1940s, has his own kind of virtuosity on occasion, while Hall, his own roots more obviously stretching back to the late thirties, is a somewhat gentler player.
Dizzy Gillespie: The Development of an American Artist*
Authors: Williams Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This album collects recordings done over a crucial five years by an American trumpeter and sometime composer-orchestrator. What emerges in the most unassuming of ways-and, for some of us, the most unexpected of places-is a pattern of musical discovery. Also, if you will, self-discovery. But the special self-discovery of an artist, hence of someone who makes discoveries for us all about our selves, our lives, and our possibilities.
Why Aren’t We Using the Classics?*
Authors: Williams Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the late 1970s Big Three-United Artists Music had in its catalogue four classic Duke Ellington transcriptions, scores and parts, as entries in its “National Jazz Ensemble” series. And not too long thereafter, Big Three-United Artists decided it would publish no more Ellington. That decision was surely a sad event in American music publishing. Here was an effort, an almost isolated effort, to offer authentic music by a man generally acknowledged to be not only the major jazz composer-orchestrator but, to many observers, a major twentieth-century composer regardless of musical category. And that effort had failed.
Introduction
Authors: Wong Hertha Dawn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the past three decades, autobiography has earned its place as a distinct genre in the study of literature. Even more recent is the study of Native American autobiography in English departments. Most literary scholars insist that autobiography is “a distinctive product of Western post Roman civilization,” “a late phenomenon in Western culture” that “expresses a concern peculiar to Western” individuals. However, long before Anglo ethnographers arrived in North America, indigenous peoples were telling, creating, and enacting their personal narratives through stories, pictographs, and performances. To date, most of the scholarship in this area has been done by historians, anthropologists, and linguists who examine Native American life histories (narratives collected primarily in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries) as ethnographic documents. Only a few articles-by William Bloodworth, H. David Brumble, Lynne Woods O’Brien, Arnold Krupat, Kathleen Mullen Sands, William F. Smith, Jr., and R. D. Theisz--discuss the literary aspects of Native American autobiography. At this time, only five books of literary scholarship have been devoted to this subject.
Native American Self Narration and Autobiography Theory
Authors: Wong Hertha Dawn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Of the few literary scholars involved in the study of Native American autobiography, most have avoided pre-contact Native American autobio-graphical modes, choosing instead to discuss the late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century oral life histories that were solicited, translated, recorded, and edited by Euro-American amanuenses. William Blood worth distinguishes “anthropological” (often referred to as “as-told to”)1 autobiography from what he regards as “authentic” Native American autobiography, which’ ‘springs from the desires of Native Americans to tell the stories of their individual lives’’ rather than from the wishes of a Euro-American anthropologist. In contradistinction to Bloodworth, Kathleen Mullen Sands writes that ‘‘the most distinctive characteristic’’ of American Indian autobiography is the ‘‘collaboration of the narrator and recorder editor.” Likewise, H. David Brumble refers to Native American autobiographies as ‘‘ bicultural documents’’ that are interesting because of the questions raised by the collaboration between the subject and the collector, and because they record the transition from a preliterate to a literate people in 150 short years. Arnold Krupat, who offers the most comprehensive and theoretical discussion of Native American life histories, states that “the principle constituting the Indian autobiography as a genre [is] the principle of original bicultural composite composition.” Indian autobiography, he concludes, is ‘‘ a ground on which two cultures meet,” “the textual equivalent of the frontier. “
Idealized Fathers, Devalued Mothers
Authors: Silverstein Brett , Perlick Deborah 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“If I only were a man ... I have read too much, seen too much, drunk too much. So I don’t like myself anymore. I’d like to lose thirty pounds of weight. Please, doctor, send me to a plastic surgeon.” The words were those of a 20-year-old woman who was, according to her therapist, preoccupied with her weight and obsessed with the shape of her breasts. Another woman described as obsessed with her breasts, also suffering from depression, was a 27-year-old unmarried Ph.D. with a “brilliant reputation” as a researcher. These women were the daughters of successful fathers, one a director of a factory, the other a well-known lawyer, and of mothers who were homemakers. The first woman spoke little of her mother but was “very attached” to her father, while the second woman, according to her therapist, strongly identified with her father, and not her mother, who was described as “below the father’s level from an intellectual point of view.”
The Big Town

Published: November 2023

Abstract
I had two brief flirtations with New York City before I moved east to stay. There was that three-day pass from the Army in 1948, and an earlier visit in 1945, after my youthful love of the theater brought me to Massachusetts at the end of my senior year in high school. I won a summer scholarship to the Priscilla Beach Theater in Plymouth, and my parents scraped together the money for my train fare from Seattle. I lived all summer in an old Victorian house at Priscilla Beach with seventy-five or eighty other young actors and actresses from all over the country. We studied theater crafts during the day and put on plays at night in a barn theater. Our training was supervised and our plays were directed by two impressive New York thespians, Dr. A. Franklin Trask and his wife, Allison Hawley.

After a rehearsal at the Cirque Club one afternoon, I was in the record store downstairs, browsing through the Charlie Parker bin. The girl behind the counter came over and said, “You must be a jazz musician. Nobody else ever looks at those records.” Her name was Janet Thurlow. (She is now married to trombonist Jimmy Cleveland.) She told me she was a singer, and wondered why she hadn’ t seen me at a club on Madison Street called the Washington Social and Educational.
Scuffling

Abstract
Lennie Tristano was the only jazz teacher that I knew of in New York. As soon as I got my first paycheck from Bergen Press, I got Lennie’ s number from Betty Christopher and called him. “I’ d like to study with you.” “Why don’ t you come out and play for me? Then we’ ll see.” Lennie told me how to find his house in Flushing, and I took my valve trombone out there on the subway one evening after work. I sweated and suffered as I stood in the famous blind pianist’ s living room, playing a few choruses on “I Got Rhythm” changes while he accompanied me. I was very nervous, and found myself gasping for air. I hated the sound I was getting and despaired at the banalities I heard myself playing.

Abstract
Though Metronome magazine named Marian McPartland’ s trio the Small Group of the Year in 1955, we only made two albums, for Capitol Records. Marian added a harp and cello to a couple of the tunes, an unusual blending of “classical” instruments with a jazz trio in those days. She wasn’ t thrilled with the condition of the piano at Capitol’ s Fortysixth Street recording studio. The action was poor and it was slightly in need of tuning. We were surprised that a major record label would have a mediocre piano. Still, I’ m glad to have any souvenir of the way we were playing in those days.
Garner & Monk
Authors: Crow Bill

Abstract
I enjoyed several weeks of good companionship and a lot of good music when Gerry Mulligan’ s Quartet joined a tour that included the Erroll Garner Trio, the Miles Davis Quintet, Count Basie’ s Band, Kai Winding’ s new four-trombone septet, and Dinah Washington. One cold day in Detroit, we played in an arena where most of the dressing rooms were unheated. When I heard that Basie’ s large dressing room was warm, I carried my bass over to wait there for our turn on stage. Several others had the same idea. Basie had an old upright piano in his room, and was sitting at the keyboard, tinkling a little, so I began playing along with him. Freddie Green broke out his guitar, and couple of horn players joined in.

Abstract
Gerry Mulligan reassembled the Concert Jazz Band to record an album in 1961. Clark Terry couldn’ t make it, but he sent in Doc Severinsen, his section mate in Skitch Henderson’ s band on the Tonight Show. Johnny Carson and the gang were still broadcasting from New York then. Doc played as if he’ d been on Gerry’ s band all along.
About a month later, Doc and I found ourselves playing together on a jazz concert on Long Island. Marty Napoleon, the leader, asked each of us to be ready with a feature number. On such occasions I usually played “I Can’ t Get Started with You.” It hadn’ t been used much as a bass solo and was a safe selection. Trumpet players had done it so much that they usually chose something else.
Worlds in Perspective
Authors: Bradley Raymond 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Throughout the preceding four chapters, I’ve portrayed the early Wittgenstein as a de re possibilistic atornist operating within the framework of a possible worlds ontology. He is an atomist insofar as all the items in his ontology, linguistic as well as nonlinguistic, are taken to be combinatorial constructions out of simple objects (individuals, things), simple properties, and simple relations. He is a possibilistic atornist insofar as the elements of his atomistic ontology are taken to include merely possible individuals, properties, and relations along with actual ones. He is a de re possibilistic atornist insofar as he thinks of his metaphysically simple individuals as having de re (internal, essential) formal properties that determine the range of all their possible combinations in possible states of affairs and therewith, with the help of the notion of consistency, determine the range of all possible worlds. I have also portrayed him as someone who constructs his theories of language and logic along the same modal atornist lines.
Alexander and His Band
Authors: Hamm Charles 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Alexander’s Ragtime Band” wasn’t Irving Berlin’s first commercial hit; a dozen or more of his songs had chalked up substantial sheet music sales before it was published early in 1911. It wasn’t his first song to attract international attention; Bert Feldman had brought out eight of his songs in London, in Feldman s Sixpenny Editions, before adding “Alexander” to the series. It isn’t his best-selling song of all time-”White Christmas” enjoys that distinction-or even his best song, in the opinion of most critics. But it did attract more public and media attention than any other song of its decade, it quickly became an icon for the ragtime era, and its popularity has persisted to the present.
