PAN HALIPPA, MEMORIALIST AND LITERARY PUBLICIST

In this article the author examines the memorialism and literary publishing of Pan Halippa (01.08.1883 – 30.04.1979), poet and publicist. Subjective narratives in the intimate diary, memories, autobiography, the chronicle of life, letters, even the steps before the courts are made not to tell his life, but to justify the need for an important fact related to his destiny, to the vagaries of history. Programme articles, studies, conferences, reviews, written over three periods in totally different social-political contexts (tsarist empire, interwar Romania and communist regime), require a differentiated reception, always related to the nuances of one or another cultural event or phenomenon.

Poetic Voice: Evanescence and Animation in Early Victorian Verse

Chapter 1 examines the mechanization of print and the changes to literary publishing in the commercial market of the 1820s and 1830s. It investigates mechanical reproduction as a formal phenomenon and argues that the mechanized production of poetry produces a rupture within poetic voice. The dialogue identified across the poems and the reviews focuses on the relation of sound and meaning. Two key concerns are the material nature of poetic voice when it is commodified and copied for a mass market and the traversing of voice from poet to reader. Landon, Hemans, and Tennyson are compared to Wordsworth to establish the difference between early Romantic and late Romantic/early Victorian verse. The three case studies are Landon’s periodical poetry for The Literary Gazette, poetry from Tennyson’s early 1830s and 1842 volumes, and Browning’s Pauline.

Sex Researcher

In the years 1934-40, Gershon Legman defined his life’s work and taught himself the skills he would use in his richly productive research career. Moving to New York City after graduating high school, at the height of the Great Depression, he tried to make a career for himself as a writer about sex. Legman was taken on as a sex researcher and bibliographer for the eminent gynecologist Robert L. Dickinson. He also worked as a book scout and courier in underground erotica publishing, shuttling merchandise around for the book dealer Frances Stellof. He learned printing, layout, binding, and book design in the workshop of Jacob Brussel. His first publication as a folklorist, a glossary of homosexual slang, was researched with Thomas Painter for the Committee on Sex Variants, under Dr. Dickinson’s auspices. Also, during these years, Legman aimed to shatter the censorship barriers in literary publishing. He worked as a dollar-a-page pornographer, impersonating Henry Miller, among others. With Brussel, he brought out the first American edition of Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer and under a pseudonym published his own first book, Oragenitalism, a treatise on oral sex. Both volumes were highly illegal, and when they were seized in a police raid, Legman barely escaped arrest.
