Lydia Anderson, \u2703 (BardCorps)
No full textLydia Anderson came to Bard through a scholarship for students graduating in the top ten of their high school class—Bard would match the tuition cost of a public state university to which the student had been accepted. For Lydia, originally from Mississippi, this was a fantastic deal. She describes falling in love with the campus upon arrival, and recalling her L&T professor\u27s stories about L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology. She also recalls her experiences living in the Ravine Houses freshman year—“terrifying and awesome” dorms that were condemned halfway through the year. She says, “We called [them] an ewok village, these odd little stilt-houses.” She discusses her experiences with the religion and theater departments, describing her senior project: performing selections from Sartre\u27s “No Exit” and adapted works by C.S. Lewis by the old lightning tree at Blithewood. She recalls all of the students in the theater department doing impersonations of Professor JoAnne Akalitis, then making a DVD of the impersonations and sending them to a confused JoAnne. She remembers Bard as being a place where people were very involved, and “you never had to think about it hard. If you wanted to do something, you just did it.”https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/oral_hist/1060/thumbnail.jp

Diary entries are chronological and more frequent for 1823 and become less frequent in 1823. In 1828, Lydia Hart moved to New York and eventually to Walden, New York in May 1830.At the end of the diary entries is an entry form another author, possibly by Mary. W. Hart dated 1875. Lydia Hart died in 1831 and could not have made the entry.At the back of the diary and upside down to the diary entries are transcriptions of letters and poems of Lydia Hart’s to various newspapers and and personnel correspondence. Entries include a plea for support to the city of Richmond to take care of its ‘destitute children’, letters to the editor of local newspapers, and poems for the birth of a child or death of a patron.Loose papers include a letter dated Jan 8th 1813, a bequeath request from William H. Hart for the placement of a Tombstone for Lydia Hart, a table of contents for various letters or sermons, a letter from William Hart to a friend from Richmond, and 2 loose undated papers of unknown authorship.

Translation and response between Maurice Blanchot and Lydia Davis
No full textWhen an author translates a text by another writer, this translation is one form of a response to that text. Other responses may appear in their own writings that are more inflected with their authorial persona. Lydia Davis translated six books by Maurice Blanchot, including fiction and theoretical writings. Blanchot’s concept of the récit privileges non-conventional forms of narrative and it can be considered to have influenced Davis, a view shared in critical writing about Davis. However, responses to his fiction can also be found in Davis’s work. This article reads Lydia Davis’s story “Story” as a response to Maurice Blanchot’s récit, La Folie du jour, translated by Davis as “The Madness of the Day”. Both texts develop a narrative that questions the possibility of arriving at a single story: Blanchot’s narrator cannot tell the story of how he came to have glass ground into his eyes, while Davis’s narrator must try to understand a contradictory story told to her by her lover. However, Davis responds to Blanchot by reversing the perspective in the story: where Blanchot’s narrator must and cannot create a story that explains his situation in a judicial/medical context, Davis’s narrator is struggling to understand her lover’s story which does not explain the situation that they find themselves in. Davis’s narrator is therefore motivated by an emotional need to find an acceptable story that is absent from Blanchot’s narrator. This difference in motivation is central to the difference between Davis’s and Blanchot’s approach, and complicates any reading of his influence on her because she responds to his text in her own
