Abstract:

Anna Ticknor, a Boston Brahmin, founded America's first correspondence school. Hailing from across the nation, all students were women. The letters they exchanged with their instructors between 1873 and 1897 opened up flexible spaces of self-definition, encouragement, and disguise that came to mediate—and enable—a new kind of women's education in Victorian–era America.

Abstract:

A Boston Brahmin and “otherwise-minded” contrarian, Charles Francis Adams Jr., great-grandson of President John Adams, was one of many so-called “mugwumps” who protested the Spanish-American War. Clashing with the likes of Henry Cabot Lodge, Adams was alternately principled and practical, sensitive and racist, until his influence and the anti-imperialist movement waned at the turn of the twentieth century.

Abstract:

Henry Adams (1918:7) once described nineteenth-century Massachusetts party politics as the “systematic organization of hatreds.” At first glance, his observation appears to be true for the early twentieth century as well, especially for Boston, where Brahmin reformers battled Irish bosses in an apparent reprise of a half-century-old conflict. But a closer examination reveals that while ethnic hatreds grew stronger in the city's twentieth-century public life, Progressive reform weakened partisan organization. In fact, political modernization produced tribal politics; such was Progressivism's ir

Abstract:

Any Bostonian who cared about newer music, particularly newer American music, had long been resigned to the unhappy knowledge that nothing of any particular interest was ever likely to be going on at Symphony Hall. It was a shock, therefore, when it became apparent this fall that there were quite a few things happening in the current season of the Boston Symphony which one would very much want to hear. This new and happy state of things can almost certainly be directly attributed to the Music Director Designate, James Levine. Levine's commitment to newer American music was made manifest by the

Abstract:

This thesis examines the cultural context of opera in Boston between the years 1620 to 2010. Specifically, I look at how the Boston Opera Company was founded, its existence, and its ultimate demise. The rise of opera in colonial Boston is also explored and especially how the immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries influenced the city. Around this time of changing demographics Eben D. Jordan, Jr., of Jordan Marsh Co. decided to build an opera house for the city of Boston. The effects that Puritanism had on music and the culture of Boston during its early years are al

Abstract We know little about Houston Merritt’s origins, but his professional life is documented from the time of his arrival in Boston in 1928 to his prime years, his final illness, and even his postmortem examination in 1979 (as described in Chapter 13). In contrast, Tracy Putnam’s family is thoroughly documented for two centuries, but little is known about his final years. Putnam was the scion of five European families that were among the first to appear in North America: the Jackson, Quincy, and Pickering families, who settled Massachusetts Bay Colony, as well as the Washburn and Tucker fa

Abstract:

Abstract The son of a Spanish father and a Boston mother, George Santayana (1863–1952) came to the United States as a child. After attending the Boston Latin School and Harvard University, he went to Germany to study Plato and idealism. On returning to Harvard, he worked with William James and wrote a thesis on Lotze. He remarked that James had succeeded in making him a naturalist without making him a pragmatist. Remnants of his Platonic studies are manifest in his early work, The Sense of Beauty (1896) and The Life of Reason (1905–1906), in which he developed the view that artistic creativity
