Review: Arts and Crafts Architecture: History and Heritage in New England, by Maureen Meister

Maureen Meister Arts and Crafts Architecture: History and Heritage in New England Lebanon, N.H.: University Press of New England, 2014, 304 pp., 23 color and 120 b/w illus. $45, ISBN 9781611686623 In Arts and Crafts Architecture : History and Heritage in New England , Maureen Meister examines the work of twelve architects, eleven men and one woman, who took leadership roles in the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts from its founding in 1897 to 1917: Robert Day Andrews, George Edward Barton, Ralph Adams Cram, Lois Lilley Howe, Alexander Wadsworth “Waddy” Longfellow Jr., Charles Donagh Maginnis, Louis Chapell Newhall, William Edward Putnam Jr., George Russell Shaw, Richard Clipston Sturgis, Charles Howard Walker, and Herbert Langford Warren. The book provides useful biographical background on these architects, charts their intersections in Boston arts and social organizations, and glosses their building designs. Meister's intention is to flesh out our understanding of the generation of Boston architects who studied design or worked as draftsmen in the 1870s (or so) and practiced through the interwar period. Focusing on those architects who were associated with the Society of Arts and Crafts, Meister aims to “examine this Boston-based architecture in a comprehensive way, locating the architects and their buildings within the social, political, and philosophical contexts of turn-of-the-twentieth-century New England” (8). Key in this regard is the intellectual legacy of British leaders of the Arts and Crafts movement—John Ruskin and William Morris—and their champions in Boston, especially Harvard's Charles Eliot Norton. The body of work that Meister considers coincides historically with the production of New England architects who were brought to modern scholarly attention by Vincent J. Scully Jr.'s pioneering 1955 study The Shingle Style and the Stick Style and by a number of articles that appeared in the May 1973 issue of this journal.1 Framing the …

Dawnland voices: an anthology of indigenous writing from New England

Dawnland Voices calls attention to the little-known but extraordinarily rich literary traditions of New England's Native Americans. This pathbreaking anthology includes both classic and contemporary literary works from ten New England indigenous nations: the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Mohegan, Narragansett, Nipmuc, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Schaghticoke, and Wampanoag. Through literary collaboration and recovery, Siobhan Senier and Native tribal historians and scholars have crafted a unique volume covering a variety of genres and historical periods. From the earliest petroglyphs and petitions to contemporary stories and hip-hop poetry, this volume highlights the diversity and strength of New England Native literary traditions. Dawnland Voices introduces readers to the compelling and unique literary heritage in New England, banishing the misconception that real Indians and their traditions vanished from that region centuries ago.

From the Editor’s Desk

11 The French Review From the Editor’s Desk As befits its title—Francophonie(s)—this special issue is wide-ranging in terms of its literary and cultural subject matter, as well as in its geographical reach. In the first article,“The‘Spark of Human Sympathy’ in Francophone Literature,”Phillip Bailey (University of Central Arkansas) examines works from Senegal (Mariama Bâ, Une si longue lettre), Martinique (Aimé Césaire, Cahier d’un retour au pays natal), and Guadeloupe (Maryse Condé, Traversée de la Mangrove). In “Entre vacuité et plénitude: Loin de mon père de Véronique Tadjo,”Patrick Kabeya Mwepu (Rhodes University, South Africa) analyzes a partly autobiographical novel by an author whose family origins are in Côte d’Ivoire but who also typifies the cultural hybridity of many current Francophone African writers. Mathilde Kang (Stony Brook University), in“Francophonie en Orient: aux croisements du transculturel,” argues counter-intuitively that the transcultural phenomenon of la francophonie in Asia extends beyond the countries and regions that were once colonized by France.In“The French Language in New England: Past,Present,and Future,”Joseph Edward Price (Texas Tech University) invites us to consider the Francophone heritage in New England, and particularly in Maine. See also his comments on University of Southern Maine’s recent decision to discontinue its program in French studies (“Addendum” 68–69). Stéphanie Bérard (University of Virginia), in “Un dialogue théâtral caribéen par-delà les langues: collaboration artistique et pédagogique entre la Guadeloupe et Cuba,” presents a case of Francophone/ Hispanophone cultural exchange in the Caribbean, through the medium of theater. In“Le sanglot de l’homme noir d’Alain Mabanckou: une nouvelle lecture de l’Atlantique noire?,”Patricia-Pia Célérier (Vassar College) considers the importance of an essay (with a typically provocative title) by a writer whose family origins are in the Republic of the Congo, but who lives and teaches in the United States. Ioanna Chatzidimitriou (Muhlenberg College), in“‘Pour une littérature-monde en français’: The End of the Francophone World as We Know It?,” delivers a detailed critique of the Littérature-monde manifesto, first published in Le Monde in 2007. In “Francophone Films to the Rescue: Indigenous Languages and Francophone Studies,” Carine Bourget (University of Arizona) argues for the greater inclusion of multilingual (rather than strictly French-speaking) films in Francophone Studies curricula. Isaac Joslin (University of Denver), in“The New Francophonie: Teaching French from an African-Centered Perspective,”advocates a fairly radical pedagogical approach, based on demographic and economic trends that will, most likely, greatly increase Africa’s weight within the Francophone world. This special issue is accompanied by an online Dossier pédagogique on a Franco-Senegalese film, Un transport en commun (Dyana Gaye, 2009), by Marie-Magdeleine Chirol (Whittier College).As a reminder, all the Dossiers pédagogiques can be accessed on the French Review website: . This special issue also includes a Varia section, which should not be overlooked . It includes articles in the following rubrics: Focus on the Classroom (“From Language and Culture to Language as Culture: An Exploratory Study of University Student Perceptions of Foreign-Language Pedagogical Reform” by Diane de Saint Léger and Andrew McGregor), Literature (“Boum!... Boum!!... Mécanicisme de Ponge” by Gilles Glacet), Interview (“Fiction, incarnation et singularité: entretien avec Pierre Jourde”by Alexander Dickow), and online Dossier pédagogique (“En solitaire [Christophe Offenstein, 2013]” by Emmanuelle Remy and Jacki Williams-Jones). I would like to thank all the Assistant Editors who contributed to this May 2015 special issue on Francophonie(s). I would also like to thank Geoffrey Hope (University of Iowa), former Assistant Editor, for his many years of service to our journal and to the profession. We welcome Pascale Perraudin (Saint Louis University) as Assistant Editor. As a reminder, the title of our special issue for Vol. 89 (May 2016) will be: Alcools, drogues et visions: littérature et paradis artificiels. Scholars of literature, film, or cultural studies are encouraged to submit articles. Multidisciplinary approaches are welcome. The call for articles is in our Announcements section (295). On the same page, readers will also find the general guidelines for submitting...

The Future of the Franco-American Past

It may be hard to believe, but when I started teaching about French North Americans twenty years ago we knew scarcely anything about the Franco-Americans of the Quebec diaspora. The only general history was Robert Rumilly's Histoire des Franco-Americains (Montreal: Edite par l'auteur, 1958). It was such old-fashioned political history and so biased in favor of the policies of the Woonsocket, R.I.-based Union Saint-Jean-Baptiste d'Amerique that one could neither steal lectures from it nor assign it to students. For students, I assigned Mason Wade's article, Franco-Americans, in the New Catholic Encyclopedia, still a good place to start. I stole lectures from Madeleine Giguere's A Franco-American Overview: New England (Cambridge: National Materials Development Center, 1981). In addition, Professor Giguere gave me copies of the articles and parts of books that had not made it into her book. I also fell back on a handful of dissertations and scholarly articles. Today, it is a different world. This article will review what we have learned in the twenty years since that time about the history and literature of Franco-Americans. Then, it will set forth an agenda for future research on Quebec diaspora studies and discuss the scholarly resources for performing that research. This research agenda will deal with both ordinary and elite Franco-Americans. It will also examine the work of Franco-American writers in French and English. In short, if I were twenty years younger, here are some projects my students and I might take on. By the 1980s new general histories of the Quebec diaspora were made possible by numerous studies of Franco-American communities, such as Ralph Vicero's analysis of the U.S. censuses; Pierre Anctil, Richard Sorrell, and Gary Gerstle on Woonsocket; Tamara Haraven on Manchester; John Cumbler and Philip Silvia on Fall River; Frances Early, Mary Blewitt, and Brigitte Lane on Lowell; Daniel Walkowitz on Cohoes; Michael Guignard on Biddeford; Peter Habler on Holyoke; and Yves Frenette on Lewiston.(1) The general histories of the 1980s and 1990s, made possible by these specialized studies, began with Raymond Breton and Pierre Savard, eds., The Quebec and Acadian Diaspora in North America (Toronto: Multicultural Society of Ontario, 1982); Dean Louder and Eric Waddell, eds., Du continent perdu a l'archipel retrouve (St. Foy; PUL, 1983); Claude Savary, ed., Les Rapports culturels entre le Quebec et les Etats-Unis (Quebec: Institut quebecois de recherche sur la culture, 1984). I drew on these works for my essay in The First Franco-Americans (Orono: University of Maine Press, 1985). Then came Gerard J. Brault's The French Canadian Heritage in New England (Hanover: University Press of New England, 1986), with its particularly sensitive account of the author's family and ancestors. His work was followed by Maurice Poteet, ed., Textes de l'exode: recueil de textes sur l'emigration des Quebecois aux Etats-Unis (XI e et Xe siecles) (Montreal: Guerin, 1987). Perhaps the best was Frenchman Francois Weil's Les Franco-Americains, 1860-1980 (Paris: Belin, 1989). Then came Yves Roby's Les Franco-Americains de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, 1776-1930 (Sillery Septentrion, 1990) with its brilliant account of the Sentinellist affair drawn from Vatican archives. Finally came Armand Chartier's Histoire des Franco-Americains de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, 1775-1990 (Sillery: Septentrion, 1991), recently translated into English and especially rich on Franco-American literature and on Franco-American advances during the ethnic revival of the 1960s and 1970s. All of these works framed the conference held in Quebec in 1990. The conference's papers were published as Dean Louder, ed., Le Quebec et les francophones de la Nouvelle-Angleterre (Quebec: Presses de l'Universite Laval, 1991). For any potential scholar of the Quebec diaspora Louder's book is the place to start. The contribution by Yves Frenette and Yves Roby provides any new scholar with the most thorough and up-to-date bibliography of recent work on Franco-Americans and a guide to the archival resources for the next step. …
