The Socialism of Fools?: Leftist Origins of Modern Anti-Semitism

William Brustein, SAIS '71

Anti-Semitism, as it has existed historically in Europe, is generally thought of as having been a phenomenon of the political right.  To the extent that 19th and early 20th century leftist movements have been found to manifest anti-Semitism, their involvement has often been suggested to be a mere fleeting and insignificant phenomenon.  But what has been the relationship between anti-Semitism and the left?  We trace the relationship between the left and anti-Semitism in Europe from the French Revolution to World War II and demonstrate that the relationship between the left and anti-Semitism has been much more profound than previously believed.

Wm & H'ry: Literature, Love, and the Letters between William and Henry James

J.C. Hallman

Readers generally know only one of the two famous James brothers. Literary types know Henry James; psychologists, philosophers, and religion scholars know William James. In reality, the brothers' minds were inseparable, as the more than eight hundred letters they wrote to each other reveal. In this book, J. C. Hallman mines the letters for mutual affection and influence, painting a moving portrait of a relationship between two extraordinary men. Deeply intimate, sometimes antagonistic, rife with wit, and on the cutting edge of art and science, the letters portray the brothers' relationship and measure the manner in which their dialogue helped shape, through the influence of their literary and intellectual output, the philosophy, science, and literature of the century that followed.

Shakespeare, Madness, and Music: Scoring Insanity in Cinematic Adaptations

Kendra Leonard, Peab '95 

In Shakespeare, Madness, and Music: Scoring Insanity in Cinematic Adaptations, Kendra Preston Leonard examines the use of music in Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear. Whether discussing contemporary source materials, such as songs, verses, or rhymes specified by Shakespeare in his plays, or music composed specifically for a film and original to the director's or composer's interpretations, Leonard shows how the changing social and scholarly attitudes towards the plays, their characters, and the conditions that fall under the general catch-all of 'madness' have led to a wide range of musical accompaniments, signifiers, and incarnations of the afflictions displayed by Shakespeare's characters.
