Harpo Marx as Trickster

By: Charlene Fix

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The author invites readers to spend time in the pleasure of Harpo's cinematic company while comparing him to tricksters from folklore, myth and legend. The book demonstrates how Harpo, the sweetest, wildest, most magical Marx brother, accomplishes the archetypal trickster's work. Thirteen chapters examine Harpo's trickster persona closely in each of the Marx Brothers' films: The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, Duck Soup, A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, Room Service, At the Circus, Go West, The Big Store, A Night in Casablanca and Love Happy. Harpo as trickster embodies luck, foolishness, cleverness, mania, hunger, lust, stealing, shape-shifting, gender-bending, alliance with underdogs, attacks on the powerful, musicality, sympathy for animals, magic and mischief. His trickster behaviors in all the films are woven into a composite impression that "with a little luck, will resonate beyond the covers of this book and leak out into the world, making it a more just, flexible, resilient, amusing and magical place.

The Other Philadelphia Story

How Local Congregations Support Quality of Life in Urban America

By: Ram A. Cnaan,Stephanie C. Boddie,Stephanie Boddie,Charlene C. McGrew,Jennifer Kang

For people living in U.S. cities, social services come not only from the government but increasingly also from local religious communities. Ever since the Clinton administration's welfare reform, faith-based institutions, and especially congregations, have been allowed to bid for federal funds for their programs. In The Other Philadelphia Story, drawing on the first-ever census of congregations in any American city, Ram Cnaan and his colleagues provide an authoritative account of the functioning of congregations, their involvement in social services, and their support of other charitable organizations. An in-depth study of 1,392 congregations in Philadelphia, the book illuminates how these groups function as community hubs where members and neighbors alike gather throughout the week. Cnaan's findings show that almost every assembly of parishioners emphasizes caring for others, even if the help is modest. Thus American congregations uphold an implicit but strong norm of social responsibility and work to improve the quality of life for members and nonmembers alike. Many of the problems associated with urban life persist in the face of governmental inaction, and the burden of responsibility cannot be shouldered entirely by congregations. However, in a city such as Philadelphia, where half the residents are regular attenders of religious congregations, hopes for urban improvement are largely to be found in these local groups. Special focus is given in the book to kinds of care that often go unnoticed: volunteerism, provision of refuge, and informal assistance to community members in need. All told, Cnaan asserts, congregations are an essential component of Philadelphia's civil society. Without them, the quality of life would deteriorate immeasurably.

Documentary History of the First Federal Congress of the United States of America, March 4, 1789-March 3, 1791

Correspondence: First Session, June - August 1789

By: Charlene Bangs Bickford

Three new volumes in this acclaimed series present letters written by and to members of the First Federal Congress and communications from other informed individuals at the seat of government in New York City by 1789. The letters bring the official record to life by providing details about the political process through which Congress began to accomplish its daunting agenda by establishing the first federal revenue system, fleshing out the executive and judicial branches outlined in the Constitution, drafting the Bill of Rights, and beginning to tackle the divisive issue of locating the permanent federal capital. The documents supply a rich source of information about the members' opinions on issues, lives in New York and concerns about their distant families, and the services they provided for constituents, as well as constituent opinions about issues. They also make available for the first time in English the frank and insightful letters of the French minister on the subject of the new federal government.

The Angel Creek Chronicles

When Angels Sing

By: Charlene M. Alvanos

When Nora Banks, steps off the train in Angel Creek, Ohio, during the summer of 1892, it is without expectations of any kind. The young woman is penniless, without family, and quite plain in appearance. The job that she has just accepted as a nanny for a young wealthy couple seems to be her only possible refuge. Angel Creek itself is a small but energetic community surrounded by farmland on all sides. Nothing of any consequences has happened there for many years. The one thing that did happen, however, is a source of pride among its residents. Most of the villagers have long ago stopped believing in the Legend of Angel Creek but are loath to admit it and continue to repeat its superstitious content with repetitive relish. Nora finds the home of her employers, Jim and Madeline Turner, to be a pleasant and happy establishment. She soon forms a bond with the little boy in her care and settles down into what should be a simple and boring life. While Nora’s employer, Madeline Turner, is a contented housewife and mother, the same cannot be said for the rest of her family. She is plagued on all sides by women that seem to have issues. Madeline’s mother, Pauline Fairchild, has made it her sole purpose in life to see at least one of her daughters marry into a rich, high-society family. To that purpose, Pauline has begun a campaign to set up a match between Madeline’s younger sister Elyse and the handsome (and very rich) Drew Winthrop, the son of a rich Chicago socialite. Elyse, a very beautiful and pious young lady, compliantly defers to the machinations of her mother despite the fact that she has no real feelings for the young man. Much to her chagrin, Madeline’s life is further complicated by her sister-in-law, Emily Turner, who despite her advanced age of twenty (by village standards), finds the subject of marriage to not only be a bore but, at the moment, out of the question. Emily, a very pretty and intelligent girl, finds the confines of Angel Creek to be inhibiting. Almost every waking moment of her life seems to be devoted to causing scandal to the neighborhood and distress to her relatives. Nora finds herself on the outside looking in during these escapades. As an observer, she does not need to involve herself in the interesting and sometimes strange lives of her employers. It is only when her friend Aileen Griffin finds herself in a distressful predicament that Nora is forced to think about the plight of other women at all. She herself, has been temporarily sheltered from the realities of life by living under the protection of the Turners. Despite the longtime ability of Angel Creek to keep itself separated from the outside influences of the rest of the country, the inevitable finally happens. Technology and change begin to gradually seep into the little community. The beginning of this evolution begins with the arrival of two very different strangers. One is a Jewish lawyer named Jacob Rothstein. Jacob is an attractive and very intelligent man with a mysterious past. Since no person of the Jewish faith has ever lived in Angel Creek, he automatically becomes a curiosity of sorts. The gentleman further confuses the general population by admitting publicly that he does not believe in God at all—something that is an affront to everyone in the village with religious sensibilities. The second man is Douglas Parnell. Douglas is a very poor but extremely industrious drifter. When he arrives in Angel Creek, simply because he’s run out of money, the young man decides to stay. Despite what seems to be Angel Creek’s ability to hold itself aloof from the rest of the country, it is unable to avoid the political tremors that have engulfed the rest of the country. The depression of 1893 and the Spanish American War both begin to intrude into the lives of the villagers. As for Nora, during her employment with the Turners, she has managed to unintentionally become very close to the entire family. As a result, their tragedies and occasional di

Gristmills of Central Texas

Gristmills of Central Texas

By: Charlene Ochsner Carson

Gristmills were once commonplace in Texas. There was hardly a river, a creek, or a stream without one. The purpose of the gristmill was to grind wheat into flour and corn into meal. Prior to the water-powered gristmill, grinding was a tedious, time-consuming task that was usually performed by hand using some type of mortar and pestle. When a gristmill began operating in an area, settlers from near and far traveled to the mill to have their grain ground. The gathering of these settlers and farmers at the mill was the beginning of many settlements that grew into the Texas towns of today. Many of these picturesque settings have become major tourist destinations.

The Last Perfect American

By: Charlene Dixon-Anthony

This is a book about a man of war and we are all born to die. It tells how a man chose to live until he died. And this is a book about a man whom I deeply love who has shown me the terrible facing of death that is military. Thank God he is still alive, but I live everyday as a woman who loves a man who is closer to God, eternity and his past than he is to me. This is a book of one warrior who speaks for all warriors who don't speak about their experiences of war. From 15 years of age to eighty- seven years of age Jack forgot himself to serve his country. He was a body guard to three U.S Presidents who chose him because they knew he would surrender his life to protect them. Jack generously, although unwillingly, expressed his war experiences. Men of war hide violence. Jack has expressed this to me. I am grateful to be his wife and a woman that he loves. I am fortunate to be able to give this gift of Jack's privacy to the world.

Montana Place Names from Alzada to Zortman

By: Rich Aarstad,Ellen Arguimbau,Ellen Baumler,Charlene L. Porsild,Brian Shovers

Among Montana’s most enduring legacies are the names assigned to its geographic features and places found on the state map. As long as humans have inhabited Montana they have named places. While the past two centuries have changed the way people live in Montana, the names given to some rivers, mountain ranges, cities, and towns have persisted, while others have changed with time. Naming Montana explores the origins of more than 1,000 Montana place names, drawing upon the knowledge of Montana Historical Society historians and the expertise of local historians from across the state. This new publication includes both geographic features, selected historic sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, historic photographs, and maps. The authors’ extensive research illuminates the stories behind the names of places that we call home.

The Zechariah Tradition and the Gospel of Matthew

The Zechariah Tradition and the Gospel of Matthew

By: Charlene McAfee Moss

The Zechariah Tradition and the Gospel of Matthew is a comprehensive study of the ways Matthew utilizes Zechariah texts and traditions. Against the background of materials from Qumran, and apocryphal and deuterocanonical writings Matthew’s explicit citations of Zechariah are examined; the influence of Zechariah elsewhere in the First Gospel is identified; and the extent to which Matthew alludes to characteristic Zechariah themes, alone or in combination with other prophetic traditions, is explored. Zechariah traditions appear in Matthew’s distinctive materials, as well as in texts Matthew has transmitted, or altered, from Mark and Q. The impact of Zech 9-14 is not limited to the Passion Narrative but extends through Matthew’s Infancy and Galilean healing narratives, as well; important concepts from Zech 1-8 are also discerned in the Infancy and Passion Narratives. Moss works through the canonical order of Matthew; this enables readers to appreciate the cumulative effect of Zechariah’s influence at each stage of the Gospel story. Two appendices, one arranged according to Zechariah and the other to Matthew, list possible references to Zechariah in Matthew. This monograph is useful for Matthean studies and it is an insightful investigation of how one set of Old Testamental traditions are appropriated in one canonical Gospel and in the New Testament.

Lori

By: Charlene Wexler

The sheltered, comfortable, liberal upbringing undergone by Lori in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago in the United States did not prepare her for marriage into the difficult and quirky working-class family of her husband, Jerry—or for the sweeping societal and social changes of the last quarter of the 20th century. Lori deals with relationships between family and friends, divorce, alcoholism, infidelity, homosexuality, the judicial system, the Holocaust, and financial booms and busts. Most importantly, it deals with cancer from the points of view of both the victim and the survivors. Lori’s seemingly perfect suburban world is in constant peril. Fortunately, her lifelong best friend, Adele, is there every step of the way to provide support and advice—until Adele faces her own tragedy. When separated from Adele by thousands of miles, Lori also finds she can count on her new friend, Rain—an ex-flower-child with a surprising connection to Lori’s past that holds the key to Lori’s future. Lori is the story of a woman gaining strength she never knew she could achieve and of victory over adversity.

Independence Hall in American Memory

Independence Hall in American Memory

By: Charlene Mires

Independence Hall is a place Americans think they know well. Within its walls the Continental Congress declared independence in 1776, and in 1787 the Founding Fathers drafted the U.S. Constitution there. Painstakingly restored to evoke these momentous events, the building appears to have passed through time unscathed, from the heady days of the American Revolution to today. But Independence Hall is more than a symbol of the young nation. Beyond this, according to Charlene Mires, it has a long and varied history of changing uses in an urban environment, almost all of which have been forgotten. In Independence Hall, Mires rediscovers and chronicles the lost history of Independence Hall, in the process exploring the shifting perceptions of this most important building in America's popular imagination. According to Mires, the significance of Independence Hall cannot be fully appreciated without assessing the full range of political, cultural, and social history that has swirled about it for nearly three centuries. During its existence, it has functioned as a civic and cultural center, a political arena and courtroom, and a magnet for public celebrations and demonstrations. Artists such as Thomas Sully frequented Independence Square when Philadelphia served as the nation's capital during the 1790s, and portraitist Charles Willson Peale merged the arts, sciences, and public interest when he transformed a portion of the hall into a center for natural science in 1802. In the 1850s, hearings for accused fugitive slaves who faced the loss of freedom were held, ironically, in this famous birthplace of American independence. Over the years Philadelphians have used the old state house and its public square in a multitude of ways that have transformed it into an arena of conflict: labor grievances have echoed regularly in Independence Square since the 1830s, while civil rights protesters exercised their right to free speech in the turbulent 1960s. As much as the Founding Fathers, these people and events illuminate the building's significance as a cultural symbol.

Ladies and Gentlemen on Display

Planter Society at the Virginia Springs, 1790-1860

By: Charlene M. Boyer Lewis

Each summer between 1790 and 1860, hundreds and eventually thousands of southern men and women left the diseases and boredom of their plantation homes and journeyed to the healthful and entertaining Virginia Springs. While some came in search of a cure, most traveled over the mountains to enjoy the fashionable society and participate in an array of social activities. At the springs, visitors, as well as their slaves, interacted with one another and engaged in behavior quite different from the picture presented by most historians. In the leisurely and pleasure-filled environment of the springs, plantation society's hierarchies became at once more relaxed and more contested; its rituals and rules sometimes changed and reformed; and its gender divisions often softened and blurred. In Ladies and Gentlemen on Display, Charlene Boyer Lewis argues that the Virginia Springs provided a theater of sorts, where contests for power between men and women, fashionables and evangelicals, blacks and whites, old and young, and even northerners and southerners played out -- away from the traditional roles of the plantation. In their pursuit of health and pleasure, white southerners created a truly regional community at the springs. At this edge of the South, elite southern society shaped itself, defining what it meant to be a "Southerner" and redefining social roles and relations.

Absolutely Not New York

Finding a Home for the United Nations

By: Charlene Mires

From 1944 to 1946, as the world pivoted from the Second World War to an unsteady peace, the newly-created United Nations needed a meeting place, a central place for global diplomacy. But what would it look like, and where would it be? At times it seemed the world’s diplomats could agree on only one thing: under no circumstances did they want the United Nations to be based in New York. And for its part, New York worked mightily just to stay in the race it would eventually win. In vivid detail, Charlene Mires traces New York’s long and often complicated journey to host the United Nations.

Capital of the World

The Race to Host the United Nations

By: Charlene Mires

From 1944 to 1946, as the world pivoted from the Second World War to an unsteady peace, Americans in more than two hundred cities and towns mobilized to chase an implausible dream. The newly-created United Nations needed a meeting place, a central place for global diplomacy—a Capital of the World. But what would it look like, and where would it be? Without invitation, civic boosters in every region of the United States leapt at the prospect of transforming their hometowns into the Capital of the World. The idea stirred in big cities—Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis, New Orleans, Denver, and more. It fired imaginations in the Black Hills of South Dakota and in small towns from coast to coast. Meanwhile, within the United Nations the search for a headquarters site became a debacle that threatened to undermine the organization in its earliest days. At times it seemed the world’s diplomats could agree on only one thing: under no circumstances did they want the United Nations to be based in New York. And for its part, New York worked mightily just to stay in the race it would eventually win. With a sweeping view of the United States’ place in the world at the end of World War II, Capital of the World tells the dramatic, surprising, and at times comic story of hometown promoters in pursuit of an extraordinary prize and the diplomats who struggled with the balance of power at a pivotal moment in history.
