Integration with Dignity
ed. Skip Eisiminger

“It is often said that history is the lengthening shadow of one man. In Clemson University’s case this man was Harvey Gantt. The desegregation of Clemson University by Gantt on January 28, 1963, was characterized by ‘Integration with Dignity’ and is regarded by many as a signature event in American social history.”

--Dr. H. Lewis Suggs, from Integration with Dignity



 

Melville's Use of "The Rebellion Record" in his Poetry
by Frank Day

“Melville drew on the [Rebellion] Record for twenty of the seventy-two poems in Battle-Pieces and for two others included in his later volume of poems...His indebtedness to the Record, moreover, is greater in one sense than is suggested by the total of twenty poems out of seventy-two, for most of the fifty-two poems not indebted to the Record are largely philosophical, eulogistic, or inscriptive. Of the lines actually describing war events and giving details of battles, an estimated eighty percent have probable sources in the Record.”


--Frank Day, from the Foreword

 





Literature and Digital Technologies
ed. Karen Schiff

"In widening the scope of 'digital technologies' so far as to include the production of literary texts through different kinds of digital machines, we have arrived at the heart of the enterprise that has driven this entire endeavor: the use of technologies to promote the circulation and reading of works of literature. The ways that the technologies inflect the reading experience depend on a confluence of innumerable factors; the papers in this volume focus specifically on issues that grow out of the intersection of electronic technologies and literary study."

--Karen Schiff, from the Foreword

 
Tales of Clemson, 1936-1940
by Arthur V. Williams, M.D.

“The tales that Dr. Williams has included in this wonderful collection of Clemson stories bring back many fond memories for me. Every page is like an old friend greeting me at a class reunion. But there is more to this book than memories. It is also a remarkable record of what life was like at Clemson 60-plus years ago. In this day and age of ‘reality TV,’ here we have a delightful volume of ‘reality text.’ And as one of the ‘survivors’ (to borrow a current TV term), I can tell you it is almost as much fun reading this text as it was living it!”

--Walter T. Cox '39 President Emeritus
Clemson University



 


Virginia Woolf's Illness
by Douglass W. Orr, M.D.
ed. Wayne K. Chapman

"Virginia Woolf’s Illnesses is not written by a literary man, nor does it feign to be 'literature.' Its kinship to biography bears the virtues and defects of a trained, independent observer dedicated to inductive procedures. We have both science and art here..."

--Dr. Wayne Chapman, from the Preface

 
Psychoanalysis and the Bloomsbury Group
by Douglass W. Orr, M.D.
ed. Wayne K. Chapman

"This monograph is based on a 52-page paper read by the author, on April 21, 1978, to members of the San Diego Psychoanalytic Society in La Jolla, California. Intended for Psychoanalytic Quarterly, the paper has not been published until now even though it anticipated Orr’s posthumous book, Virginia Woolf’s Illnesses (2004), also available in this series.

--Wayne K. Chapman
