This chapter describes Edith Lewis’s family history, childhood, and education as a background to her first meeting with Willa Cather in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1903. Because of Lewis’s deeply rooted New England family history, her Nebraska childhood, her elite eastern college education, and her plans to move to New York to pursue literary work, Cather found powerfully concentrated in Lewis two geographically located versions of the past she valued: the Nebraska of her own childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, and a New England–centered literary culture she encountered through reading. Cather also glimpsed in Lewis the future to which she herself aspired, the glittering promise of literary New York.

The Past

Genevieve Yue interviews playwright Annie Baker, whose Pulitzer Prize–winning play The Flick focuses on the young employees of a single-screen New England movie house. Baker is one of the most critically lauded playwrights to emerge on the New York theater scene in the past ten years, in part due to her uncompromising commitment to experimentation and disruption. Baker intrinsically understands that arriving at something meaningful means taking a new way. Accordingly, Baker did not want to conduct a traditional interview for Film Quarterly. After running into each other at a New York Film Festival screening of Chantal Akerman's No Home Movie (2015)—both overwhelmed by the film—Yue and Baker agreed to begin their conversation by choosing a film neither of them had seen before and watching it together. The selection process itself led to a long discussion, which led to another, and then finally, to the Gmail hangout that forms the basis of the interview.

The Future

Alfred Newton Richards was born in Stamford, New York, U.S.A., on 22 March 1876, the youngest of three sons of the Rev. Leonard E. and Mary Elizabeth (Burbank) Richards. His father, who was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Stamford from 1864 until his death in 1903, was a descendant of Godfrey Richards, an emigrant from the Rhenish Palatinate to Pennsylvania about 1740. His mother’s ancestors came from England to New England prior to 1640 and, unlike the Richards line (all of whom were farmers), many of them received a college education and several (including her father) were clergymen. She herself was teaching at a school in Norwalk, Ohio, when she first met her future husband. At the time she lived in the home of the Rev. Alfred Newton, who is still referred to as one of the most influential and beloved of Norwalk’s inhabitants, and whose daughter, Martha Newton, was the future Mrs Richards’s best friend. This is the source of the name Alfred Newton Richards. Life in the Richards’s home in Stamford centred around church activities and, by present standards, was quite austere. During most of the period the total income was less than $1000 a year, on which the family maintained a universally respected position in community affairs, put three sons through college, and set enough money aside to keep Mrs Richards in her home after her husband’s death without assistance from her sons or anybody else. In Dr Richards’s own words: ‘We were poor, but like Eisenhower’s folks we were unaware of it.’

Home Leaving

Young adults are co-residing with their parents at higher rates now than in the past, and recent research has explored the correlates of both leaving and subsequently returning to the parental home. Of relevance here, females tend to leave home earlier than their male counterparts, and research finds that drinking and drug use are also linked to residential transitions. This research note explores if substance use during adolescence and young adulthood plays a role in gender differences in home-leaving and home-returning. We find that marijuana use plays a role in both home-leaving and home-returning, with adolescent females who use marijuana the most at risk for early exits from home, and marijuana using males the most at risk for home-returning.

The Way

This chapter places Yogananda’s spiritual development in the context of Indian modernity, with rapid travel, exposure to diverse traditions, and awareness of the outside world—particularly the U.S. and the larger West. The chapter examines his childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, focusing on the spiritual journey that culminated in his decision to become a swami under the leadership of a guru. He grew up in Kolkata, influenced by the writings of the Bengali Renaissance who opposed British imperialism. His connection to modernity continued with his college education and adoption of modern Hinduism, a framework that severed belief from its historic embeddedness in land, caste, life stage, and gender. This universalizing of Hinduism paved the way for Yogananda’s American ministry as a Hindu missionary.

The World

The passing of the New York Sun was the biggest journalistic event of the past quarter. After more than a century of varied and distinguished activities, the paper was sold out to the Scripps-Howard interests amid charges and countercharges that labor and management were to blame for its demise. In any case, it was generally agreed that its passing was probably the most striking development in New York journalism since the sale of the World, also to Scripps-Howard, almost two decades before … Meantime various new mechanical developments were watched with the hope that they might lessen the economic strain on metropolitan publishing; another newsprint mill opened in the South, and in New England a “phototypesetter” was the latest technological idea being studied by publishers.—W. F. S.
