Talk:Fitz-Greene Halleck

message: Under Legacy, it says the first monument to commemorate an American poet was dedicated to Halleck in Connecticut in 1870. It then says the first statue to commemorate an American poet was dedicated to Halleck in New York in 1877. Is this competing information or is there a real significant different between statue and monument? And, of course, references would be nice. --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, a monument looks monumental, as in Washington Monument and may or may not be a statue, while a statue looks like a person, and may or may not be monumental.  Presumably the Connecticut one wasn't made to look like him or someone would have also called it a statue.  Jim.henderson (talk) 01:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking that can be the only explanation. Still, sources (and even a photo) would make this work much better. A source would probably be able to clarify or confirm our assumptions, too. --Midnightdreary (talk) 12:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Francis Adams (writer)

message: See the photo it says it was from 1895. How is that possible if he was dead for two years  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.136.57.217 (talk) 06:56, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

message: He was born in the Crown Colony of Malta, a British colony, the child of British parents. The article is not clear how long he lived there, but he was raised at least some of the time in England. He came to the Colony of New South Wales in 1884. So he was born in one British colony, then lived in the base country, then went to another colony. None of this is the subject of emigration, and he seems likely to have been considered a British national the whole time.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:32, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Francis James Child

message: Is an image or figure of speech that appears in many ballads. The ballads do not really "feature" roses.Mballen (talk) 07:11, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: The rose and the briar

message: It is noted that Child made no comment on, nor criticised "sexuality, theatrical violence, and ill-concealed paganism of many ballads".  Yet he criticised what he apparently perceived to be an anti-Jewish element in “Hugh of Lincoln”.  How is this latter criticism "characteristic of the man"?  It seems to be a contradiction: he either has no problem with, or choses not to express comments on, various evils, yet disapproves of a song simply because the villain is a Jew.  Seems odd to me.JohnC (talk) 04:04, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jewry 

message: The introduction to the article states: "In 1876 he was named Harvard's first Professor of English...It was during this time that he began work on the Child Ballads." This seems inaccurate since Child had already published the earlier work "The English and Scottish Ballads" in 1857-59 as noted in the quote in the final section entitled "The English and Scottish Popular Ballads". Child had also published in 1874 the now famous essay  "Ballad Poetry", as noted in this final section.
Also in this final section it states "Child's monumental final collection was published posthumously as The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, at first in ten parts (1882–1898) and then in five quarto volumes". Well, since he did not die until 1896 this statement must also be inaccurate, some volumes, possibly all of one of these editions, must have been published during his lifetime.
I recognise that there have been many editions of both the precursor work "The English and Scottish Ballads" and of the major work "The English and Scottish Popular Ballads" and am not trying to split hairs. But I do think it important get a grip on the dates of the first editions of each work and/or volume, so that these can be tied into the article in the context of Child's life and career.
Unless anyone else is keen to take this on, I'll see if I can work out the relevant detail for the sequence of Child's works from the text images available in online versions, in order to clarify the above. It may then be preferable to insert the detailed results into the article on the Ballads itself and cross-reference from here.

=====Humanities====
I was distressed to read that the Humanities program was discontinued. As a graduate of Edsel Ford, the Humanities program was the most challenging class that all students are asked to complete. And, as someone with a BA in History/Humanities and an MA in English, it was the course that best prepared me for college. I was lightyears ahead of my fellow freshmen when it came to English/History/related social sciences because of my high school humanities program. And, at low points in my life, the appreciation I gained for instrumental music and fine arts, as well as literature, saw me through difficulties. Having worked with high school students where I live now, I pity them because all their learning is geared to memorization and the test rather than any appreciation of any of who we are or who they are as people.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.50.201.98 (talk) 17:44, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
