Code Name Puritan
In the spring of 1955, during my last semester as a Yale undergraduate, I took a course on twentieth-century American fiction taught by Norman Holmes Pearson. His classes were popular, and he always filled large lecture halls with his performances, theatrical but full of original observations. (He had waiting lists for his seminars, too.) When our class of about two hundred first saw his deformed body walking awkwardly down the long aisle to the …
Three Midwestern Playwrights
The story of bohemian life and avant-garde culture in Chicago and New York in the second decade of the twentieth century has by now been told many times. It seems to hold the same fascination for readers and writers as that of the English Romantic poets a century earlier. I have watched the growing attention given to the so-called Chicago renaissance and to the Greenwich Village of the 1910s since 1958 – 59, when I was the first person to go thro…
My Mother and Faustina Orner
This essay is an account of a remarkable series of letters written by a New York literary agent (Faustina Orner, 1899 - 1988) to the author's mother (Madge Rosalind Miller Tanselle, 1912 - 1997) in the early 1940s. The letters give a picture of the literary marketplace of the time, showing in the process how a successful agent handled a hopeful young writer and what she thought about the Second World War and its effect on the publishing scene. Th…
Global Objects
This thoughtful, learned, well-written, extensively illustrated, and heavily documented study deserves to be regarded as a landmark in art history. Traditional art history has dealt for the most part with the “fine arts” (chiefly painting, drawing, sculpture, and architecture), whereas other human creations that take physical form (such as furniture, ceramics, textiles, and metal and glass items), whether utilitarian or decorative (or both at onc…
Shakespeare and Textual Theory
The Arden Shakespeare, a prominent and well-established series of Shakespeare editions, is now accompanied by a series called Shakespeare and Theory, of which a dozen titles have appeared, with at least nine more on the way. Whether or not one thinks that whole books need to be devoted to “Shakespeare and ecofeminist theory,” “Shakespeare and posthumanist theory,” and so on, there is no question that a book on “Shakespeare and textual theory” ser…
Lives in Book History
One of the accomplishments of Robin Myers's long career as a book historian (which includes being archivist of the Stationers’ Company) is a series of London conferences, of which she has been one of the organizers since its inception in 1979. These conferences, taking “book history” in its broadest sense, have covered many topics; and the fortieth one, in 2018, provided a backward glance by focusing on the development of the field over those fou…
Magazines and the American Experience
The Grolier Club of New York has been mounting exhibitions of books and prints since 1884, and many of them are recognized as landmark treatments of their subjects. Most of them have also been accompanied by published catalogs or related books. A recent instance was the exhibition, in the early months of 2021, drawn from Steven Lomazow's vast collection of American magazines, consisting of over eighty-three thousand separate issues from 1731 to t…
The Century Yearbook 2021
It may seem odd to review a New York social club's yearbook, with its list of members’ addresses and series of committee reports. But such books sometimes contain material of more general interest. The latest one from the Century Association, for example, devotes 250 of its 685 pages to “Century Memorials”—that is, biographical sketches of recently deceased members, written by other members. Among the well-known figures taken up in these eighty-t…
The Latest Forms of Book-Burning
Current technological opportunities for preserving the texts of books, above all the microfilming process, have the unfortunate side effect, Tanselle argues, of destroying the books themselves. This modern form of book-burning is all the more unfortunate insofar as it is being pursued by many who would otherwise consider themselves advocates for books and reading. The principal mistake, which has guided public policy decisions in this process, is…

Mardi
Presented as narratives of his own South Sea experiences, Melville's first two books had roused incredulity in many readers. Their disbelief, he declared, had been main inducement in altering his plan for his third book, Mardi: and a Voyage Thither (1849). Melville wanted to exploit the rich poetical material of Polynesia and also to escape feeling irked, cramped, & fettered by a narrative of facts. I began to feel . . . a longing to plume my pin…
