Hello Members,
Just a note of acknowledgement and appreciation on the receipt of your Christmas Greeting and cigarettes.
Once again I’ve had a change of address. I’m now as in accordance with censorship rules and regulations, “somewhere in Australia.” Since my arrival here I’ve been transferred back out on the line so no longer am I putting into practice, here in the army, the training received at Bryant, instead I’m hiking poles and still in the act of getting into condition muscles that one doesn’t use behind a typewriter.
This past week I received the November issues of “On the Campus.” It was nearly as good as attending a Bryant Reunion, just reading them for many old familiar names were again called to mind, and with them pleasant memories once again renewed.
If the morale of every member of the Bryant Alumni in the armed forces receives the same boost as does mine on the receipt of these rembrances [sic], and I’m sure that they do, then you’re all doing a grand job.
Sincerely, Raymond Fogarty ‘36 [Transcription ends

August 4, 1942
Hello Service Club Members of Bryant,
Received your second gift today and thought that I’d just drop a line to show my appreciation for what you’re all doing for members of the alumnus in the service.
Each time one of these “bundles from home” are received it brings back cherished memories of good times and the good fellowship that one has experienced while attending Bryant. Keep up the good work, for I’m sure that I’m but one of many of the Bryant Alumnus that finds his morale given a boost in knowing that folks at home are thinking of them.
Gratefully yours,Raymond H. Fogarty
P.S. Would appreciate it if you’d say “hello” to my former typewriting teacher, Miss Josephine Krupa, a really swell person.

“Somewhere in New Guinea”
Hi There,
At my last writing I was in the land of “down under” however for the past few months we’ve been studying the natives of New Guinea pro and con, mostly con. Our work is purely signal and our work weeks of the seven day variety, however one doesn’t mind too much if the work day is long and the days stand out and for we’re paid off in self satisfaction in the knowing that our job is well done and is having a direct effect on the outcome of this war. If time and space would permit I’d send along a thesis on the ant and other insect life here and the Lord only knows that here there exists each and every variety known to mankind, however the result of said discourse on these lowlifes [sic] wouldn’t aid or abet their social standing. The natives here, or Fuzzie Wuzzies, call them what you may, seem to have some sort of mania toward the cultivating of a real heavy long bushy head of hair and anything that is bright or shiny sooner or later finds a home there, the heads of the females seem to be clean shaven and they also seem to be the beasts of burden. Now we’re being furnished all the necessities by Uncle Sam such as cigarettes toilet articles et cetera. Always glad to hear the news from Bryant.
For now, Ray Fogarty ‘36 [Transcription ends

Hi Folks:
Rec’d your welcome gift of cigarettes last evening and am taking this opportunity to drop a line to thank you for the cigarettes.
It sure makes a fellow feel good to hear from folks and as most any person in the service will tell you that cigarettes sent to smokers are always most welcome. However aside from that I think this Service Club of yours is doing a great job and I know that when I say that I’m expressing the thoughts of all the Bryant Alumni who are the recipients of your gifts and letters.
Right at the present time I’m attending a wire school here at Ft. Monmouth having been assigned here due to my association with the N.E. Tel & Tel Co. before my induction.
Before closing I want to say over again--thanks for everything and keep up the great work.
Sincerely, Ray Fogarty ‘36
P.S. How about thanking Miller ‘44 for that most interesting letter. [Transcription ends
Raymond Williams and the limits of cultural materialism
No full textCultural materialism has become an influential discipline in recent
years, particularly so in 'Renaissance' studies, but also more generally in
'English', as well as departments defined as practising 'cultural' or
'communications' studies. The phrase is usually linked with the name of
Raymond Williams, but a cursory examination of Williams's own work
quickly establishes that it is a phrase he rarely uses, and only schematically
attempts to define. The thesis therefore takes the form of an investigation into
the way cultural materialism has come to be understood, by examining in
detail the trajectory of Raymond Williams's theoretical development, and how
his own engagement with various theoretical positions has helped to set
'limits' on the meaning of cultural materialism.
Chapters 1 and 2 deal with some of Williams's earliest work,
particularly Reading and Criticism, as a way of investigating how reasonable
it is to tag him as a 'Left-Leavisite', arguing that Leavis's undoubted
influence is resisted (though not entirely rejected) from a very early stage. The
first chapter considers in detail Leavis's work at Cambridge, the influence of
Eliot, and the significance of the 'Organic Community'. Chapter 2, which is
based around a comparative analysis of Williams's and Leavis's readings of
Dickens, argues that Williams rejects the 'organic community' in favour of his
'knowable community'. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with specific 'theoretical'
issues: the first, based around a reading of Terry Eagleton's critique of
Williams's use of the Marxist metaphor of 'base and superstructure', shows
some of the problems which arise from Williams's cultural model, as well as
suggesting refinements; the second deals with the influence of Volosinov's
theories on Williams. Chapter 6 comes out of Williams's readings of the
'Country-House' poems in The Country and the City, showing how his
practice of literary criticism relies on an acceptance of 'ideology' apparently
denied in his more 'theoretical' writings. This analysis is extended as a result
of investigations into the 'De L'Isle' manuscripts relating to the Penshurst
estate. Chapter 7 argues that it is possible to see the work of Fredric Jameson
as developing Williams's cultural materialism into Jameson's debates on
postmodernism.
In the Introduction and Conclusion, I have taken the opportunity to
look briefly at the activity of cultural materialism as it has developed since
Raymond Williams's death in 1988. The Introduction emphasizes what I see
to be important methodological differences between 'cultural materialism'
and 'new historicism'; the Conclusion deals with the continuing debate over
the value of a cultural materialist approach by considering the 'appropriation'
of Shakespeare
