In a book on “Machiavellian politics,” I will argue that in the Discourses he uses Rome to criticize Sparta as the model of republican government. But having displaced the classical “aristocratic” notion of republicanism with a nascent model of checks and balances, he acknowledges that Roman conquests destroyed freedom everywhere. Instead of trying to conquer their neighbors, he urges his Florentine republican readers to form a federation with them. Machiavelli thus presents a new understanding of republican politics later adopted in the U.S. The “armed prophet” he praises in the Prince nevertheless remains an ever present political option and threat. |

My book places Chicago at the center of a new modernist geography. Based upon archival research, my book focuses on writers, artists, institutions, and cultural advocates during the early twentieth century when Chicago was a center for the production of modernist art and literature. I examine key publications launched in Chicago like Harriet Monroe's POETRY magazine and Margaret Anderson's LITTLE REVIEW and I also take account of equally important yet overlooked figures, many of them women, who helped expose modernism to a wide public audience. These figures (among many) include Alice Roullier, a curator who coolly negotiated radical and challenging exhibits, and Fanny Butcher, the longtime literary editor of the Chicago Tribune. I consider why Chicago's "middlebrow" readers embraced the most experimental writers and artists of the era. I show how Chicago has always maximized connections between art and industry, becoming a city where lines of track merged to meet and make modernism. |

study about the translation, reception and popularity of works by American
author Ernest Hemingway in the Soviet Union, from the 1930s to the 1990s.
Ernest Hemingway’s translated works enjoyed immense popularity in the Soviet Union. In the 1930s, the Soviet government had hoped to co-opt Hemingway as a supporter of the Soviet experiment, but his true impact was realized in the 1960s as a counter-culture figure representing the American ideal of personal liberty. Even so, Hemingway was afforded in 1971 a “Soviet biography” fitting for a Soviet writer. Of particular interest are the ways in which Soviet cultural appropriations of American cultural figures played a role in the ultimate collapse of the Soviet Union. This work explores the Soviet aspects of the translation, interpretation and consecration of Hemingway. The Soviet Union first accepted Hemingway for their own political and social agenda (antifascism), only some thirty years later to find that he represented the ideals of personal freedom that Soviet citizens desired, undermining the official positive pronouncements about the collective. |

winning American author and pioneering organic farmer Louis Bromfield
(1896-1956).
The Road to Malabar is the first major biography of the Pulitzer Prize-winning American author and pioneering organic farmer Louis Bromfield (1896-1956). Bromfield rose to prominence in 1920s Paris among a set of legendary expatriates such as Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway. But after World War II, he radically changed course, investing his fame and fortune into the daring project of bringing sustainable agriculture to America. From his model farm in rural Ohio, Malabar, Bromfield sounded an early alarm about harmful pesticides and fought for an agriculture that would enrich the soil and protect the planet. Based on unpublished letters and memoirs, this book not only unearths a lost American icon, it also sheds light on the little-known origins of sustainable farming. By situating that movement in its cultural context, the book shows how organic agriculture was just as much a response to the shocks of the 20th century as the literary modernism of Bromfield’s Lost Generation peers. |

The partners in this grant application (NWCCD/Sheridan College, Wyoming Humanities Council, Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research and the Ucross Foundation) are proposing an initiative to celebrate Ernest Hemingway in Wyoming. Hemingway will act as a springboard or cartographer of imaginative geographies that will help us establish and deepen connections among communities in Wyoming. Centered on the continued relevance of Hemingway as both writer and icon, several targeted activities will take advantage of Hemingway’s connections to the state to link and thus create humanities communities along what we are dubbing the Hemingway Highway. The result of these efforts will be a durable humanities network which includes the state’s one university, eight community colleges, public libraries, historical societies and arts organizations. |

outreach and a literary residency.
The Hemingway Legacy Initiative is a partnership between The Community Library and The Nature Conservancy(TNC) to honor the life and work of Ernest Hemingway and Sun Valley’s regional history. The Community Library is the lead on the project; TNC is working to gift the house and related artifacts to the Library. The Hemingway Legacy Initiative has three main components. Preservation: We will grow, preserve, and promote the collection of books, photographs, papers, oral histories, and artifacts that relate to Hemingway’s life as it intersects with the American West. Educational Outreach: We will create multimedia educational materials to share artifacts and stories from Hemingway’s home and his time in Idaho with a broad audience of schoolchildren and the general public. Literary Residency: We will protect Hemingway’s Ketchum home as a nature reference library where writers, artists, and scholars can do creative work. |
