Warren G. Harding letter to Mary E. Lee, January 20, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 20, 1920, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to Mary E. Lee of Westerville, Ohio, in response to her letter of January 12. Harding thanks Lee, a friend and former colleague in the newspaper business, for her support of his presidential campaign, but tells her she need not make a financial contribution. On the topic of Harding supporters disapproving of his campaign manager Harry M. Daugherty, Harding stands by his partnership with Daugherty and hopes that his friends will not let this dampen their support.
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I

Warren G. Harding letter to Mary E. Lee, April 11, 1920
No full textDated April 11, 1920, this is a letter from Senator Warren G. Harding to Mary E. Lee of Westerville, Ohio, in response to her letter of April 6. Harding writes that he is not concerned about the Anti-Saloon League leading any activities that might harm his presidential campaign. The Anti-Saloon League was a national leader in the Prohibition movement, and its headquarters were in Westerville, Ohio. The American Issue Publishing Company, the publishing arm of the Anti-Saloon League, was also located in Westerville. Although Harding believed alcohol should be consumed responsibly, he opposed the passage of a Prohibition amendment, which resulted in the League strongly opposing his candidacy.

Mary E. Lee letter to Warren G. Harding, April 6, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated April 6, 1920, Mary E. Lee from the Glen-Lee Place florist in Westerville, Ohio, writes to Senator Warren G. Harding regarding anti-Harding sentiment in Ohio among the Anti-Saloon League and other prohibition supporters. Lee reports that Ernest Cherring of the League plans to issue a statement against Harding in response to a speech he gave in the Senate against enacting prohibition into constitutional law. Despite Lee's best efforts to dissuade him, Cherring plans to distribute his statement to newspapers across the country, even though Harding was not a "wet" supporter. Lee mentions local political leaders Mr. Stoughton and Hanby Jones, and references Harding's upcoming visit, which she believes will be beneficial for securing votes in the area.

A more comprehensive and commanding delineation: Mary Shelley's narrative strategy in Frankenstein
No full textThis thesis argues that the first edition of Frankenstein challenges conventional reading by employing what Simpson in Irony and Authority in Romantic Poetry calls Romantic irony, where the absence of a stable 'metacomment' precludes an authoritative reading. The novel hints at such readings but prevents them. The insights offered by Tropp's Mary Shelley's Monster, Baldick's In Frankenstein's Shadow, Poovey's The Proper Lady and the woman writer and Swingle's, 'Frankenstein's Monster and its Relatives: Problems of Knowledge in English Romanticism' are considered, but none recognises the full implications of the instability deriving from multiple first- person narratives. Clemit's The Godwinian Navel acknowledges the novel's indeterminacy, but reads a specific ideological purpose in it. Paradise Last provides a language to describe the relationship between the monster and Frankenstein, but proves too unstable to fix identity or establish moral value. Similarly, Necessity ultimately fails to provide a stable explanation in terms of cause and effect. The status of nature shifts between foreground and background, never allowing final definition. These uncertainties destabilise knowledge which is compromised by its provisional nature: no authoritative reading is possible, yet the novel has narrative coherence. The reader is encouraged to try to develop a reading the structure prevents. The radical nature of the first edition is highlighted by comparison with the 1831 edition, which removes much of the ambivalence and gives the novel a clearer morality. The novel challenges conventional methods of deriving authority by disturbing the reader's orthodox orientation in the world around him' (Simpson) in order to afford 'a point of view to the imagination for the delineation of human passions more comprehensive and commanding than any which the ordinary relations of existing events can yield' (Mary Shelley)
Politicising stardom: Jane Fonda, IPC Films and Hollywood, 1977-1982
No full textPhDThis thesis is an empirical analysis of Jane Fonda’s films, stardom, and political activism during the most commercially successful period of her career. At the outset, Fonda’s early stardom is situated in relation to contemporaneous moral and political ideologies in the United States and how she functioned as both an agent and symbol of these ideologies. Her anti-war activism in the early-1970s constituted the apex of Fonda’s radicalisation and the nadir of her popular appeal; a central question of this thesis, therefore, is how her stardom was rehabilitated for the American mainstream to the point of becoming Hollywood’s most bankable actress.
As the star and producer of IPC Films, Fonda developed political projects using commercial formats, namely Coming Home (1978), The China Syndrome (1979), Nine to Five (1980), and Rollover (1981). The final IPC film, On Golden Pond (1981), signalled an ideological breach in this political strategy by favouring a familial spectacle, and duly outperformed its predecessors significantly. The first and last chapters of this work provide historical parameters for IPC in Fonda’s career, while the remaining chapters are structured by the conceptual and political aspects of each IPC project. Julia (1977) is discussed as an IPC prototype through its dramatisation of political consciousness. Coming Home, The China Syndrome, Nine to Five, and Rollover all exhibit this motif whereas On Golden Pond employs melodramatic nostalgia. Often discussed reductively as a star symbolising change, this thesis instead uses archival and published sources to analyse Fonda’s individual agency in historical context, as well as the cultural and political impact of her stardom. The IPC enterprise provided cinematic apparatus for Fonda’s political recuperation within the American mainstream, which, more broadly, harboured significance for the nation’s conservative resurgence at the end of the 1970s
