Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poets and Poetry of Springfield in Massachusetts: From Early Times to the End of the Nineteenth Century No country or community has approached its best estate until it has come to express some of its highest, holiest, tenderest and wittiest thoughts in verse. So it has been with us in this new world. There was first the struggle for life; against human enemies and natural conditions, and with political oppression. Then came plenty, with a broader intellectual life and a freer expression. Not that there was no intellectual life in the Colonial days; but it concerned itself largely with theology and uttered itself in sermons. As for the laity, they read the Bible they had and helped in making another. They discussed and speculated on heavenly things, and an old lady whom Emerson knew in his youth told him that they had to hold on hard on to the huckleberry bushes to keep from being translated. But theological discussions were very apt to be acrimonious, and political differences easily ran into bitterness. Church and party lines were sharp and divisive. In 1808, one party in Springfield celebrated the Fourth down town with a procession and a sermon in the meeting house; the other with a dinner in "the new brick store on Federal Hill." The preceding year the Democrats of this and other towns had observed the day by themselves in Agawam listening to a sermon from a famous admirer of Jefferson, Elder Leland, on the text as quoted, perhaps erroneously in the Hampden Federalist, "Separate the righteous from the vile," the latter of course being the Federalists of the day. Such an atmosphere is not very congenial to the muses; and the newspapers of Springfield, before the settlement of Dr. Peabody over the Church of the Unity in 1820, contain scarcely any verse worth quoting except as illustrative of the manners and temper of the times.

Download or read book Lost Springfield Massachusetts written by Derek Strahan and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the nineteenth century, the U.S. Armory opened in Springfield, spurring rapid growth. With that golden age of progress came iconic buildings and landmarks that are now lost to time. Railroads brought workers eager to fill Springfield's factories and enterprises like Smith & Wesson, Merriam Webster and Indian Motorcycles. The Massasoit House Hotel, the Church of the Unity and the Daniel B. Wesson mansion once served as symbols of the city's grandeur. Forest Park grew into an upscale residential neighborhood of Victorian mansions. Join local historian Derek Strahan as he returns Springfield to its former glory, examining the people, events and - most importantly - places that helped shape the City of Firsts.

Download or read book On Paper written by Nicholas A. Basbanes and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Best Book of the Year: Mother Jones • Bloomberg News • National Post • Kirkus In these pages, Nicholas Basbanes—the consummate bibliophile’s bibliophile—shows how paper has been civilization’s constant companion. It preserves our history and gives record to our very finest literary, cultural, and scientific accomplishments. Since its invention in China nearly two millennia ago, the technology of paper has spread throughout the inhabited world. With deep knowledge and care, Basbanes traces paper’s trail from the earliest handmade sheets to the modern-day mills. Paper, yoked to politics, has played a crucial role in the unfolding of landmark events, from the American Revolution to Daniel Ellsberg’s Pentagon Papers to the aftermath of 9/11. Without paper, modern hygienic practice would be unimaginable; as currency, people will do almost anything to possess it; and, as a tool of expression, it is inextricable from human culture. Lavishly researched, compellingly written, this masterful guide illuminates paper’s endless possibilities.

Download or read book Reading Transatlantic Girlhood in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Robin L. Cadwallader and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is the first of its kind to interrogate both literal and metaphorical transatlantic exchanges of culture and ideas in nineteenth-century girls’ fiction. As such, it initiates conversations about how the motif of travel in literature taught nineteenth-century girl audiences to reexamine their own cultural biases by offering a fresh perspective on literature that is often studied primarily within a national context. Women and children in nineteenth-century America are often described as being tied to the home and the domestic sphere, but this collection challenges this categorization and shows that girls in particular were often expected to go abroad and to learn new cultural frames in order to enter the realm of adulthood; those who could not afford to go abroad literally could do so through the stories that traveled to them from other lands or the stories they read of others’ travels. Via transatlantic exchange, then, authors, readers, and the characters in the texts covered in this collection confront the idea of what constitutes the self. Books examined in this volume include Adeline Trafton’s An American Girl Abroad (1872), Johanna Spyri’s Heidi (1881), and Elizabeth W. Champney’s eleven-book Vassar Girl Series (1883-92), among others.
