Editio Princeps

The written Work of Horacio Quiroga (1878-1937) includes novels, poetry, dramaturgy, journalistic texts, and, fundamentally, stories, and was published first and foremost in the various illustrated magazines of the early twentieth century where the Uruguayan author collaborated. Only a part was collected in books by Quiroga himself. Since 1955 an accurate list of all his collaborations has been made and, also, a large part of his work has been published in various anthologies and in different complete works projects. Our research adds to this repertoire some bibliographic findings: the existence of two short stories, not belonging to any bibliographic list or to any compilation of their narrative writings; “Una carta de amor” and “La cacería”; the appearance of his first journalistic film “note”, “El Teatro Mudo: elogio del cinematógrafo”, which is not part of any list or of the compilations of Quiroga’s cinematographic texts; and, finally, the existence of the editio princeps of Cuentos de la Selva, one of his best known books. The three texts found, which are from 1917, as well as the illustrated editio princeps of Cuentos de la Selva from 1918 must be included in Horacio Quiroga’s bibliographic repertoire and must form part of the new editions of his complete work.

May Fourth

In this article, I attempt to show that literary works produced by authors who have their identities hidden behind pseudonyms may further current understandings of the May Fourth and New Culture literary canon. I examine two fictional short stories, written by Xuxin (‘Modest’) and Zhongyan (‘Faithful’), and explore how these short stories reinforce or nuance established understandings of the May Fourth and New Culture canon. I examine their works within the context of the May Fourth and New Culture movements and attempt to offer a comparative analysis of these two short stories, while suggesting that more attention should be given to authors whose identities were hidden.

Cultural Mores

Though already famous, wealthy, and squarely established as a popular chronicler of the early twentieth century, humorist Ring Lardner’s foray into a serious literary career with Charles Scribner’s Sons Publishing Company is best characterized as an act of authorial resistance. Rather than evolve into the “serious” author the firm had hoped for, Lardner chose to lampoon himself, authorship, publishing, and serious writers with a series of prefaces written for his Scribner’s titles. In the prefaces to How to Write Short Stories (with Samples) (1924) and The Love Nest and Other Stories (1926), Lardner resisted overtures to rebrand and remarket himself by reminding the public of his strengths: satire, comedy, and manipulation. The result: pieces as textually nonsensical and arbitrary as many of his writings on the surface, yet carefully constructed to expose the underside of socio-cultural mores, the publishing industry, and the fraternity of “serious” writers he never intended to join.

Colonial Government

This chapter examines the introduction of intermarriage between Koreans and Japanese as a public discourse in the early twentieth century, starting in the Japanese protectorate period from 1905 to 1910. It examines the colonial government documents and newly launched Japanese-language media. It also looks at readings of novels by Yi Injik in the genre of the so-called New Novel and of Yi Kwangsu's early short stories. The chapter then explores the discourse that propagated the idea of Korean–Japanese intimacy as an important part of the Korean assimilation into the newly dominant Japanese civilization. It explains how the violence of the Japanese Empire has overshadowed the existence of intimate and familial Korean–Japanese relationships since the colonial period.

Mutual Friend

In April 1880, one of the most intriguing lost opportunities in musical-literary history took place. Henry James and Richard Wagner were staying in Posilippo, near Naples. James was beginning a two-month visit to Italy, whilst Wagner was living in the Italian town with his family, working on essays including ‘Religion und Kunst’ (1880) and preparing the staging for Parsifal (1882). A mutual friend, Paul von Joukowsky, suggested to James that he and Wagner meet but the offer provoked an emphatic rejection from the American novelist. It would have taken place amid the heady bohemianism, homosexuality and obsessive aestheticism of Wagner's Italian circle of which Joukowsky was a part. No doubt their meeting would have been stilted and strained, suffused with various forms of social awkwardness, yet, as we shall see, James's explanation of his refusal has the overtones of a justification. Despite – or because of – the aborted meeting, James repeatedly returned to this unrealized encounter in his writing. He referred to the composer or his works in more than a dozen of his novels and short stories from the 1880s to the early twentieth century; these muted but resonant references suggest an informed and engaged response to Wagner and his works. It is as if, though these allusions, James re-imagined this event, composer and novelist encountering each other in numerous texts over a period of 20 years

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.

Three letters from the Sheina Marshall archive at the former University Marine Biological Station Millport (UMBSM) reveal the pivotal significance of Sheina Marshall's father, Dr John Nairn Marshall, behind the scheme planned by Glasgow University's Regius Professor of Zoology, John Graham Kerr. He proposed to build an alternative marine station facility on Cumbrae's adjacent island of Bute in the Firth of Clyde in the early years of the twentieth century to cater predominantly for marine researchers.
