Book Synopsis Facing the Abyss by : George Hutchinson
Download or read book Facing the Abyss written by George Hutchinson and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mythologized as the era of the “good war” and the “Greatest Generation,” the 1940s are frequently understood as a more heroic, uncomplicated time in American history. Yet just below the surface, a sense of dread, alienation, and the haunting specter of radical evil permeated American art and literature. Writers returned home from World War II and gave form to their disorienting experiences of violence and cruelty. They probed the darkness that the war opened up and confronted bigotry, existential guilt, ecological concerns, and fear about the nature and survival of the human race. In Facing the Abyss, George Hutchinson offers readings of individual works and the larger intellectual and cultural scene to reveal the 1940s as a period of profound and influential accomplishment. Facing the Abyss examines the relation of aesthetics to politics, the idea of universalism, and the connections among authors across racial, ethnic, and gender divisions. Modernist and avant-garde styles were absorbed into popular culture as writers and artists turned away from social realism to emphasize the process of artistic creation. Hutchinson explores a range of important writers, from Saul Bellow and Mary McCarthy to Richard Wright and James Baldwin. African American and Jewish novelists critiqued racism and anti-Semitism, women writers pushed back on the misogyny unleashed during the war, and authors such as Gore Vidal and Tennessee Williams reflected a new openness in the depiction of homosexuality. The decade also witnessed an awakening of American environmental and ecological consciousness. Hutchinson argues that despite the individualized experiences depicted in these works, a common belief in art’s ability to communicate the universal in particulars united the most important works of literature and art during the 1940s. Hutchinson’s capacious view of American literary and cultural history masterfully weaves together a wide range of creative and intellectual expression into a sweeping new narrative of this pivotal decade.

Book Synopsis In Search of Nella Larsen by : George Hutchinson
Download or read book In Search of Nella Larsen written by George Hutchinson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born to a Danish seamstress and a black West Indian cook in one of the Western Hemisphere's most infamous vice districts, Nella Larsen (1891-1964) lived her life in the shadows of America's racial divide. She wrote about that life, was briefly celebrated in her time, then was lost to later generations--only to be rediscovered and hailed by many as the best black novelist of her generation. In his search for Nella Larsen, the "mystery woman of the Harlem Renaissance," George Hutchinson exposes the truths and half-truths surrounding this central figure of modern literary studies, as well as the complex reality they mask and mirror. His book is a cultural biography of the color line as it was lived by one person who truly embodied all of its ambiguities and complexities. Author of a landmark study of the Harlem Renaissance, Hutchinson here produces the definitive account of a life long obscured by misinterpretations, fabrications, and omissions. He brings Larsen to life as an often tormented modernist, from the trauma of her childhood to her emergence as a star of the Harlem Renaissance. Showing the links between her experiences and her writings, Hutchinson illuminates the singularity of her achievement and shatters previous notions of her position in the modernist landscape. Revealing the suppressions and misunderstandings that accompany the effort to separate black from white, his book addresses the vast consequences for all Americans of color-line culture's fundamental rule: race trumps family.
Book Synopsis G. Evelyn Hutchinson and the Invention of Modern Ecology by : Nancy G. Slack
Download or read book G. Evelyn Hutchinson and the Invention of Modern Ecology written by Nancy G. Slack and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slack enjoyed full access to Hutchinson's archives and conducted extensive interviews both with Hutchinson himself and with his students, colleagues, and friends. She evaluates his contributions to theoretical ecology, limnology (the study of fresh-water ecosystems), biogeochemistry, population ecology, and the creation of the new fields of systems ecology and radiation ecology, and she discusses his profound influence as a mentor. The book also looks into his personal life, which included three very different wives, a refugee baby under his care during World War II, friendships with such contemporaries as Rebecca West, Margaret Mead, and Gregory Bateson, and a host of colleagues and friends on four continents. Filled with information available nowhere else, this book draws a vibrant portrait of a giant in the discipline of twentieth-century ecology who was also a man of remarkable personal appeal. --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: divdivIn the two decades prior to the Civil War, the Hutchinson Family Singers of New Hampshire became America’s most popular musical act. Out of a Baptist revival upbringing, John, Asa, Judson, and Abby Hutchinson transformed themselves in the 1840s into national icons, taking up the reform issues of their age and singing out especially for temperance and antislavery reform. This engaging book is the first to tell the full story of the Hutchinsons, how they contributed to the transformation of American culture, and how they originated the marketable American protest song. /DIVdivThrough concerts, writings, sheet music publications, and books of lyrics, the Hutchinson Family Singers established a new space for civic action, a place at the intersection of culture, reform, religion, and politics. The book documents the Hutchinsons’ impact on abolition and other reform projects and offers an original conception of the rising importance of popular culture in antebellum America./DIV/DIV

Download or read book Picturing written by Rachael Ziady DeLue and published by Terra Foundation for the Arts. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diligent and profound thinking about the nature and capacity of images and image-making in the form of art-critical writing, poetry, literature, theatre, and philosophical or scientific treatises, among other things, existed alongside and became complexly entangled with artistic practice in the American context. The essays in Picturing consider the questions about the very nature of representation--What is an image? Why make an image? What do images do?--that artists and others brought to bear on the making, viewing, and analysis of art and visual culture in the United States. In so doing, it highlights the centrality and significance of the problematic of picturing within the domain of American visual practice. Essays in this volume present a range of subjects from the early modern period through the end of the twentieth century. Some focus on texts, others on images or other visual artifacts, with the understanding that works of art themselves actively theorize their own nature and limits. They posit the idea of picturing broadly, hoping to demonstrate how deliberation about pictures and picture-making in the American context included but also extended beyond academy-based or art-critical writing, manifesting in expressions as diverse as natural history illustration, popular fiction, and illustrated travel narratives. It is usually assumed that thinking about pictures in the United States hewed closely to the precepts of European art treatises, the derivativeness of art theory in America thus not warranting close or sustained analysis. Picturing explores the circulation of ideas across the Atlantic while aiming to reveal the richness, range, complexity, and even the strangeness of the theorization of the visual in the American context. About the Terra Foundation for American Art Research Series The series explores themes of critical importance to the history of American art through a series of innovative essays exposing historical material to different conceptual concerns. Each volume offers original research that attends to specific objects as well as to historically significant and presiding conceptual and theoretical concerns. Structured around ideas that have been important to artistic developments within the United States, the series invites readers to look and think critically about art objects as they have been made, collected and talked about in their times.
