‘Twain at Play’ Readings

I’d like to look at Twain’s “Whittier Birthday Speech.”  Thought the framing of Twain against Boston Brahmin brought up in class was really interesting and something I had not considered yet.  I find it interesting because the comparison all at once contrasts Twain by class, culture, and location.  Twain’s lifetime is basically the same period that the Boston elite lose cultural dominance and centrality in American culture to ‘young money’ in New York—a cultural elite that more resembles what we might recognize in today’s American elite.  And Twain participates in that shift away from the Boston Brahmin both culturally and literal location.

Twain is born in the south, moves to California, then New York.  Whether a Southerner, a Californian, or a New Yorker, Twain is decidedly not a Bostonian socialite, and Boston Brahmin would have marked him as such.  Twain’s social circle, especially through marriage to Olivia Langdon, included many critics of the established Northern upperclass, such as William Dean Howells and Harriet Beecher Stowe.  And Twain also shared in the culture of wild invention and investment that eventually symbolized New York, idealizing the complicated inventions and techno-marvels of the time.

With this in mind, I find it a convincing reading that Twain is at least intentionally contrasting himself from the Boston Brahmin.  He sets his story “Californiawards” with the characters himself, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Windell Holmes, and John Greenleaf Whittier.  All these writers could be considered part of the Boston cultural centrality of the time, as all were educated in and from Massachusetts if not Boston itself.  And Twain writes their dialogue in ‘improper’ English with literary quotes sandwiched between, the quotes reading stuffy or disconnected in a manner that pokes fun at their literary forms.

Then, toward the end in response to the miner bemoaning the “littery atmosphere,” Twain jokes these characters “were not the gracious singers to whom we and the world pay loving reverence and homage; these were imposters.”  This joke is actually not fully explained and can be interpreted a few ways.  One is just straightforwardly that these characters were imposters, fakes pretending to be the authors, quoting them tastelessly.  In this reading the imposters, even though not the actual writers, are still satirizing some of the Bostonian culture, generating a sense of artifice artifice by quoting the writers.  One can read either the miner or the “littery atmosphere” as equally out of place here.  And with the miner supposedly being Wittier, yet still as false-seeming as the imposters, we can question his place as well.  Which leads to an alternate reading of the “imposters” being the real authors themselves, their “littery atmosphere” the fake.

Whether Twain actually intends that reading, it seems he’s definitely at least aware of some of this dynamic and unlike the other characters, no matter how the story is read, Twain is an outsider.  In the decades following, New York would grow eventually overtaking Boston as the national cultural and wealth center.  So I find this speech fun to read as a small moment preceding that transition, Twain touching on what would eventually become a real shift.

This Day in Julie-history: Madame Lilian Stiles-Allen was born on 28 July 1890

This week marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of Lilian Stiles-Allen, the woman who taught Julie Andrews how to sing. A celebrated soprano in her own right, Stiles-Allen was a renowned interpreter of lieder and oratorio during the inter-war years with a voice that “was much admired for its sweetness, range, and dramatic power” (Bradford, 17). 

Though not physically suited to the opera stage, Stiles-Allen performed widely in concert and recital in major venues with a particular emphasis on the English classical repertoire of Handel, Sargent, Beecham and Coleridge-Taylor. She was the original Nokomis in Coleridge-Taylor’s Hiawatha and a regular soloist at the Sir Henry Wood Promenade Concerts and the annual Handel Festival at the Crystal Palace. Stiles-Allen also enjoyed a solid career as a radio and recording artist, notably under contract to the Edison Bell label where she recorded both under her own name and the pseudonym of Linda Hynd (Williams, 161-63).

By the time of the Second World War, Stiles-Allen had largely retired from public performance and it was then that she turned her creative energies to teaching, a role she would embrace with gusto well into old age (Dawson, 17). Her list of students over the years included many notables of the British musical world such as Anne Ziegler, Aileen Cochrane, and Margaret Burton (Dawson, 17; Williams, 162). Without doubt, her most famous protégé, and the one she herself counted as her greatest teaching triumph, was “the phenomenal Julie Andrews” (”Teacher,” 20; Williams, 163). 

Julie started studying under Stiles-Allen when she was just 9 years old at the behest of her step-father, Ted Andrews, who had himself taken lessons with the teacher soon after arriving in the UK from Canada (Andrews 2008, 48). Much has been made of the enormous influence Stiles-Allen had on the voice and singing style of "her star pupil”, not least by Julie herself who has repeatedly credited “Madame,” as she always called her, with the foundational hallmarks of her distinctive vocal technique: 

“From when I was age 9 until the day she died in 1982, she was my singing teacher and taught me good diction, placement, everything. A wonderful lady and a huge mentor” (Andrews 2019: 16).

For her part, Stiles-Allen recalled:

”The range, accuracy and tone of Julie’s voice amazed me. All her life, I discovered, she possessed the rare gift of absolute pitch, which means that she cannot sing out of tune. I make it a rule as a singing teacher to get three octaves in all voices. Julie, as a little girl and right up to the age of fourteen, had a most unusual four-octave range, from two Cs above Alt. right down to two Cs below middle C. She had absolute confidence in her voice and in me” (cited in Cottrell, 34).

Right throughout her childhood and adolescence, Julie trained regularly with Madame to develop her voice and singing skills: first, at a studio in London and, then, at Stiles-Allen’s rambling country home in Headingley, just outside Leeds in Yorkshire. Due to the latter’s distance from London, Julie would typically journey up by rail and stay with Madame for the weekend and sometimes longer (Andrews 2008, 50ff). Inevitably, a deep emotional bond was forged that went beyond that of teacher and student. As Julie would later state of her relationship with Madame: “She had an enormous influence on me. She was a third mother to me” (cited in Windeler, 13).

Reading Julie’s many affectionate recollections of Madame, one senses she found in Stiles-Allen a level of grounded emotional support and domestic stability that was not always forthcoming in her own home life:

“I loved the cosy evenings after we’d finished work when, with Madame and her husband, we would all sit around a huge log fire. Such evenings were unknown to me, for that was the time when Mummie and Pop usually had to get ready for the theatre and go out. But with Madame, evenings were the time for relaxation and family talks” (Andrews 1958: 16).

Once Julie reached adulthood, the singing lessons became less frequent but the pair continued to keep in close contact. They worked together closely on vocal preparation for many of Julie’s most famous musical roles including My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. Stiles-Allen’s son lived for several years in Southern California, so she had occasion to visit Julie quite frequently after her relocation to the US (Cottrell, 213). Meanwhile, on her own trips back to England, Julie would always make a point of paying respects to her beloved teacher who, by this stage, had “donated the Old Farm outside Leeds to the Yorkshire College of Music and Drama, and had moved south to a pretty cottage in West Kingsdown, Kent” (Andrews 2008, 188).

It was here that Madame Lilian Stiles-Allen died peacefully in her sleep on 15 July 1982, just two weeks shy of her 92nd birthday (”Obituary,” 10). It was a grand age and a fittingly serene end to an equally grand life. On the occasion of the 130th anniversary of her birth, we remember with fondness and gratitude the great Stiles-Allen. Brava, Madame!

NCU Top Communication Student Aims To Raise The Bar In Media

New Post has been published on https://goodnewsjamaica.com/culture/ncu-top-communication-student-aims-to-raise-the-bar-in-media/

NCU Top Communication Student Aims To Raise The Bar In Media

Vivene Bedward presents the trophy for Best Mini Documentary to Andrew Forsythe for his documentary on Autism.

When Andrew Forsythe heard his name announced as top male communication studies student at the Seventh-day Adventist-owned Northern Caribbean University (NCU) in 2016, he was stunned.

“I said, ‘What? No!’ because I knew my history,” he said.

But that first award was only the beginning of a string of achievements.

The final-year NCU student recalled that he scored predominantly Cs and Ds from primary through to high school.

“My mother taught at my high school, and not even that could get me to do an assignment. I just wasn’t interested,” he said.

His mother, Acynthia Forsythe, felt his apathy was connected to issues with self-worth due to a condition he was born with, cleft palate – openings or splits in the upper lip, the roof of the mouth (palate) or both. It results from the facial structures that are developing in an unborn baby not being closed completely.

Forsythe, on the other hand, said he became interested in pursuing orthodontics because of all the visits he made to the doctor while wearing braces. Although not earning stellar grades, he pursued the sciences.

Meanwhile, a hobby of his was earning him recognition. He started online video streaming of the services at his church, the Seaforth Seventh-day Adventist Church. He became known in church circles for his media work, but he didn’t consider it a career.

In 2009, he graduated from high school and started working. After four years, he applied to study orthodontics but could not start the programme because of the expensive fees.

While Forsythe was dead set on studying orthodontics, many persons who knew him felt he was destined for media work.

Destined For Media

Lawrie Henry (right) presents the plaque for ‘Most Influential Student’ to Andrew Forsythe.

“My former pastor, Windel Montaque, told me that he believed media was my calling. After that conversation, I asked God to give me a sign so I could be sure. I knew orthodontics would pay well, but media was just something I did for fun.”

He tried to raise the tuition for orthodontics, but nothing worked, and he deferred for a year. During that year, he got a phone call from NCU that changed his direction. He had applied there some years before, but it hadn’t worked out. Now NCU was asking if he was still interested in enrolling. After consulting with his parents, he said yes.

“I figured if I’m going to do media, it had to be NCU. Nowhere else could match what I was hearing being offered there. I don’t regret that choice,” he shared.

Forsythe enrolled in the NCU Department of Communication Studies (DCS) in 2014. His older brothers, Mical and Richard, who preceded him at NCU, gave him financial and moral support. Soon, he found a student job as an NCU FM engineer to help pay his fees.

“I would leave classes to go to work. At times, I would just be getting home at 4:00 am, and I had assignments. Sometimes after doing assignments, I only had time to bathe and get going again,” said

He was determined not to fail any courses, but he did not realise he was excelling until that first achievement in 2016.

“At the time, GPA wasn’t something I paid attention to. But after the affirmation service, I was motivated to put out even more effort,” he said.

Did Not Forget Promise

The five awards that were presented to Andrew Forsythe at the recently held DCS Affirmation Service on April 1.

In 2017, Forsythe was recognised for being the top male DCS student overall, top male junior, top male for the College of Humanities, Behavioural and Social Sciences, and a DCS holder student ambassador.

He is on track to graduate in August 2018, but not without stacking up more accolades first. His achievements this year include five awards at the DCS Week of Excellence Affirmation Service on April 11, including top DCS male student overall and Today’s Student Leader for the NCU main campus, and six awards, including Best Overall Film, for his film submissions in the recently held DCS Lignum Vitae Film Festival.

All these achievements have not caused Forsythe to forget a promise he made.

“Media, for me, started in the church, in ministry. Even if I’m not in ministry full time, I still intend to do it because that was one of my promises to God,” he said.

His father, Lascelles Forsythe, couldn’t be prouder.

“We support him in ministry because he grew up in a mission-focused home,” said the beaming father.

Wherever media takes him, young Forsythe is determined to set the bar high.

“I want to ensure that when you hear the name ‘Forsythe’ in the media industry, nobody has to doubt whether or not they are going to get quality. I have to maintain that,” declared.

henry knows what is going on, though he refuses to disclose it. he holds dark secrets that not even those closest to him are aware of, but one shouldn't be frightened of him - in reality, he's awkward and rather harmless.

bee i am absolutely FASCINATED by ur 1895 gay siren story btw <3333

HI LIZA oh my goodness you have no idea how wide i smiled after getting this ask <3333 as a treat, i shall spill the beans on What It Is About Sort Of (<- girl who has written 1 scene. of the entire story. and doesn't even have a coherent plot)

-okay so basically. weird strange fishing family (the windells) children find a little girl washed up on a beach and they think she's dead but surprise! She Isn't. she is in fact a very powerful siren and they don't realize this until later because she can take on a human form. and they've already taken her in. so. whoops!

-while henry windell (literal embodiment of the autism creature) is a main character, he's one of a few; the first character to be Conceptualized for this world was mira windell, who marries into the windell family at the start of the story. she's very smart and also very weirded out because these children are very creepy and under socialized and she keeps waking up to weird noises (siren girl who henry and his siblings are hiding) and eventually she finds out about everything somehow. details TBA

-mira is honestly more of a sisterly figure to henry, since she's not too much older than him. she's not there to replace his mother, who died when henry was 10. I Think

-siren girl's name is pearl and she is VERY POWERFUL got some lore going on there and she is powerful for Reasons which i still need to figure out

-oh and henry is gay but doesn't realize it until he meets this silly goofy kid named jack and they're kinda rivals to lovers esque because henry is so under socialized and therefore Very Weird And Offputting

tell me about your specialest boys (gn) !!

okay so i am going to ASSUME u r referencing my original works post? if not, and i am interpreting this completely wrong , please forgive me as i am awful at Understanding things. also it is late at night and i am horrendously sleep deprived but anyway. i am going to interpret specialest boys as talking about my beloved made up tumblr mlm ship , winnett

otherwise known as the ship between my 1895 ocs henry windell and jack bennett. and ohoho boy are they GAY AS HELL

henry, i think, has known he's gay for a while as he's 16 years old and knows he has no interest in women. but he has also been very isolated all his life - living far away from town and only really interacting with his siblings - so when he meets jack, he's so under socialized and out of touch that jack uses it as an opportunity to tease him. which henry hates, of course, because he's uptight and gay and stupid and reserved and hates showing emotion.

jack doesn't know he likes boys until he meets henry, i don't think. i can also see him being bisexual (again, i have not fleshed out these characters as much as i should so. bear with me here) and he definitely doesn't fall in love with henry until later into their friendship. and of course, he's scared at first. rightfully so. but he is DOWN BAD for henry. like. in the trenches fighting for his life down bad.

in this scenario, i can definitely see it as a "henry fell first, jack fell harder" type of situation. also yes. i am aware this is a very trope-y ship, but i love gay romance tropes okay. they r so special to me.

anyway. jack is very Special to me he is just a little trickster and he's smart but also sosososo dumb and like. henry is kind of just There like What The Fuck Is This Boy Doing. right. and jack is always trying to make him laugh and smile and they become besties for the resties because. jack is like, the first real friend henry has ever had!!!! and also his first love but that comes later

anyway. mira (woman that married henry's father, also the main character of the story) finds out about henry and jack's relationship eventually. and while she is definitely confused, she is also supportive - because , when i was conceptualizing her character, i wanted her to be strong and smart and VERY open minded for the time, which is what the windell kids really really needed considering they were dealing with a fucking SIREN BABY. so, while she doesn't completely understand henry's attraction to boys, she accepts him for it, because she considers him her son and she loves him. it brings them closer.

okay im SO sorry for infodumping on u and if i totally misinterpreted this ask i am SO SORRY also if. this makes absolutely 0 sense i answered other asks about this specific original work but i can't link the other asks rn . but they are on the blog if u want to check them out so this isn't totally out of context lmao :)
