Charlotte Perkins Gilman was America's leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century. The Yellow Wall-Paper and Other Stories makes available the fullest selection of her short fiction ever printed. In addition to her pioneering masterpiece, ‘The Yellow Wall-Paper’ (1890), which draws on her own experience of depression and insanity, this edition features her Impress ‘story studies’, works in the manner of writers such as James, Twain, and Kipling. These stories, together with other fiction from her neglected California period (1890-5), throw new light on Gilman as a practitioner of the art of fiction. In her Forerunner stories she repeatedly explores the situation of ‘the woman of fifty’ and inspires reform by imagining workable solutions to a range of personal and social problems.

The Introduction presents the early twentieth-century compendium Core Texts of the Sŏn Approach, a work of Sŏn revivalism in Korea, as an attempt to look back over the intervening centuries to the Sŏn of the mid-Koryŏ period (late 1100s and 1200s) in order to compile a compact textual repository of authentic Korean Sŏn. Many modern reference works give Kyŏnghŏ Sŏngu (1849?–1912) as the compiler of this Sŏn compendium, though this attribution is by no means certain. The fifteen texts in Core Texts of the Sŏn Approach, eight by Chinese authors and seven by Korean authors, are described. This is followed by an explanation of the rationale behind the selection of five of the fifteen texts for translation. Two topics singled out for attention are the huatou Chan of Dahui Zonggao and the story of Patriarchal Master Chin’gwi and Śākyamuni Buddha.

Selection Of

The first third of the twentieth century was the most important period in the performance history of Restoration comedies—with the exception of the years 1660–1710, when they were originally written and performed. Sixteen of the plays were presented in early twentieth-century London, six in at least two different productions. Post-Carolean works by William Congreve, George Farquhar, and John Vanbrugh held the stage through the war years, but, beginning in 1920, earlier comedies by John Dryden, William Wycherley, and George Villiers entered the repertoire of performed plays. This represents a limited selection of Restoration playwrights and plays, to be sure, but this relatively small cluster of productions takes on large significance when we situate it in the context of the comedies' entire performance careers.

Historical Research Methods

This study aimed to examine and analyze the Abdul Rivai’s thought of Nationalism in Bintang Hindia newspapers. This study uses historical research methods based on research stages described by Kuntowijoyo with stages (1) Selection of topics, (2) Heuristics (source collection), (3) Source criticism, (4) Interpretation, (5) Historiography. The results showed that the press had an important role in spreading national awareness of Indonesia in the early twentieth century. One of the press figures whose thinking was influential in that era was Abdul Rivai. The Abdul Rivai’s thought of Nationalism was seen in a number of concepts or ideas written in the Bintang Hindia. Such concepts or ideas include , bangsa hindia, bangsawan fikiran, kaoem moeda, dan perhimpoenan kaoem moeda. The thought of Abdul Rivai gave awareness to the indegenous people, especially the educated people to unite and glorify the indegenous people. The thought of Abdul Rivai is capable of being a stimulus to foster national awarness among the educated native so that it will be able to liberate Indonesia from colonial bondage.

Romanian Literature

In the context of nineteenth and early twentieth-century Romanian literature, hajduk novels and hajduk short fiction (novella, short-story, tale) are called to bring back  a lost “epicness,” to give back the hajduks their lost aura. But why did the Romanian readers need this remix? Was it for ideological reasons? Did the growing female readership influence the  affluence of hajduk fiction? Could the hajduk novels have supplied the default of other important fiction sub-genres such as children or teenage literature? The present article supports the idea that, as a distinct fiction sub-genre, the hajduk novels convey a modern lifestyle, attached to new values such as the disengagement from material objects, the democratization of access to luxury goods and commodities, and the mobility of social classes. Clothing, leisure, eating/ drinking/ sleeping/ hygiene, work, military and forest/ nomad life, and ritual items that are mentioned in these novels can help us correlate the technical tendencies reflected in the making of objects to a particular ethnicity (Romanian).

Most recent histories of American education begin with an attack that enumerates the ways in which Ellwood P. Cubberley and other traditional historians of the early twentieth century stymied the development of the field. Indeed, these works suggest that the tradition of Cubberley and company was the only obstacle to good history of education until the pathbreaking contributions of Bernard Bailyn and Lawrence Cremin in the early 1960s. In this article, Sol Cohen argues that a rich and controversial chapter in the history of the history of education has been forgotten in the zeal to get on with the "new" history. He contends that historians need to come to terms with the struggles, primarily in the 1930s and 1940s, between those who would make the field purely "functional"—addressed to teacher training and to contemporary social problems—and those who would make it an academic discipline. After tracing the development and context of those struggles,Cohen concludes by noting certain dangerous continuities between the past and the present in the craft of history of education and cautions that progress can be made only by acknowledging and understanding that past.

It is ten years since KAROL SZYMANOWSKI died at fifty-four. He was the most prominent representative of the “radical progressive” group of early twentieth century composers, which we call “Young Poland.” In their manysided and pioneering efforts they prepared the fertile soil on which Poland's present day's music thrives.
