"History [was] God's gift to Israel,"' confirned by the covenant and by his saving acts. These events were actual for each generation, locking together the time of God and the time of man in a joint venture which could be realized at any moment. The Old Testament Hebrews thereby eliminated all barriers between the self and God, and brought both the natural world and history into the existential field. The role of the prophets, as the witnesses of God's word was not only to judge the present-to exhort, to threaten, or to console Israel in God's name-but above all to keep God's promise and his saving acts from slipping back into the past, from losing their viability and activating power. From the eighth to the sixth centuries, beginning with the threatening expansion of the Assyrian empire, Israel felt abandoned by God: His magnalia had come to a standstill. Israel's guilt and God's judgments had created an abyss between His people and the Exodus, the covenant with David, and the other saving events. History, according to the Hebraic sensibility, had therefore come to a stop. To get it started up again required "eschatological renewal."2 Using historical analogies, the prophets spoke of a new Covenant (Jeremiah xxxi:3lff.), a new Exodus (Isaiah xliii:16ff.), a new David (Isaiah xi:l), or a new Zion (Isaiah i:26) as part of a future that could break into the present at any moment. Isaiah called to the people to remember Abraham not by looking back, but by looking toward, or unto him, and brought the future into the present by announcing that God's salvation had already gone forth ("mon salut est venu en avant") (Isaiah ii:2, 5).3 Saturated as he was with Biblical material, capable of reading "tout courant les Rabins sans poincts,"4 Agrippa d'Aubign6 shared this Hebraic grasp of history. In the Tragiques, the poet-prophet uses the standard Calvinist procedure of identifying the Protestant elect with Israel's chosen people, and calls for a new Exodus:
“历史是上帝赐予以色列人的礼物，”这是由圣约和他的拯救行动所证实的。这些事件对每一代人来说都是真实的，把上帝的时间和人类的时间锁在一起，以一种随时可能实现的联合冒险。旧约希伯来人因此消除了自我和上帝之间的所有障碍，并将自然世界和历史都带入了存在的领域。先知作为上帝话语的见证人，他们的角色不仅仅是判断现在——以上帝的名义劝告、威胁或安慰以色列人——更重要的是要防止上帝的应许和他的拯救行动滑向过去，防止失去其生命力和激活力量。从八世纪到六世纪，从亚述帝国的威胁扩张开始，以色列感到被上帝抛弃了:他的伟大已经停滞不前。以色列人的罪和神的审判在他的百姓和出埃及记、与大卫的约和其他拯救事件之间创造了一个深渊。因此，按照希伯来人的感性，历史就停止了。要重新启动，需要“末世更新”。先知们用历史的比喻，谈到了一个新的约(耶利米书三十一章3节)，一个新的出埃及记(以赛亚书二十三章16节)，一个新的大卫(以赛亚书十一章1节)，或者一个新的锡安(以赛亚书一章26节)，作为未来的一部分，随时可能进入现在。以赛亚呼吁人们记住亚伯拉罕，不是回顾过去，而是向前看，或者仰望他，并通过宣告神的救恩已经发出(“mon salut est venu en avant”)，把未来带入现在(以赛亚书2:2,5)阿格里帕·德·奥比格对《圣经》材料熟读，能够读到“tout courant les Rabins sans points”，他分享了这种希伯莱式的历史观。在《悲剧》中，这位诗人兼先知使用了加尔文主义的标准程序，将新教徒的选民与以色列的选民联系起来，并呼吁进行新的出埃及记:

Professor Pearce—"Matt" to his many friends throughout the West and in national scholarly circles—has always been remarkable for the scope of his interests and the versatility of his achievement. As a scholar he has left his mark in linguistics, folklore, medieval and renaissance studies, and American regional literature. Over the years he has taught almost everything in the English curriculum but he is especially remembered by ten generations of university students for his courses on Shakespeare, Beowidf, history of the language, and Southwestem literature. Born in Kentucky sixty-five years ago, Dr. Pearce did his undergraduate work at the University of Montana and earned his master's and doctor's degrees at Pittsburgh. He came to the University of New Mexico in 1927 as an assistant professor of English and, except for sabbatical leaves and several summer visiting appointments, served there continuously until his voluntary early retirement in June, 1964. He was chairman of the department for twelve years, 1939-51, a crucial period during which doctoral programs in English and in American Studies were introduced at New Mexico and other decisions and appointments were made which have helped to shape the department ever since.

Paul J. Carter. Waldo Frank. Twayne Publishers (U.S. Authors Series No. 125), 191 pp. $3.95. Students of social forces in American literature will find Professor Carter's little book especially relevant in view of our present social turmoil and the national predilection for soul-searching. Waldo Frank, one of America's most ardent soul-searchers of the 1920's and 30's, is an almost forgotten figure today, except by those who still remember The Seven Arts, The Dial, The New Masses, The Menorah Journal. These defunct periodicals were noted for their trenchant aesthetic and social criticism, and Frank wrote for all of them. Waldo Frank's search for identity and spiritual purpose in an age of raucous boosterism had its roots in his Hebraic origin, in his Whitmanesque faith in democracy, and an odd combination of mysticism, idealism, and political activism. When Frank died last year at the age of seventy-seven he had written fourteen novels, eighteen social histories, and over a hundred stories and articles on a variety of subjects. His great pas-

Versatility and a keen intellectual curiosity are the outstanding characteristics of Professor Thomas Bond Burnam who was president of the RMMLA in 1953-54. Indeed, these are probably the outstanding characteristics of most fine scholars, creative writers, and teachers. Dr. Burnam was born in Swan Lake, Montana, and was reared in the Northwest, taking his A.B. and M.A. degrees from the University of Idaho, and his Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1950. During his last year of graduate work at the University in Seattle, he advanced from part-time acting associate instructor to instructor, teaching composition and elementary creative writing, and later teaching courses in advanced creative writing, the structure of fiction, and introduction to literature. He also served as secretary of the Advanced Writing Staff under Porter Perrin at the University of Washington in 1949-50. His major fields were American literature and creative writing; his special interests, Shakespeare, linguistics, and the drama since Ibsen. He came to Colorado State College in 1950 as assistant professor of English, was advanced to associate professor in 1953, and to professor of English in 1956. In 1963 he returned to the Northwest, where he has remained as professor of English at Portland State College. Professor Burnam had an especially fruitful year in 1961 when, on leave from Colorado State College, he served as Fulbright Professor of American literature at the University of Helsinki. While in Scandinavia he also lectured at the American Studies Seminar for Teachers of English and at the American Scandinavian Seminar at Leangkollen, Norway. During the same year, at the invitation of the U.S. Educational Commission for France and the Faculté des Lettres at the University of Caen, he lectured on the American short story. The first scholarly appearance of Dr. Burnam in the Rocky Mountain region was his presentation, in May of 1951, of a paper entitled "Hemingway's 'Primitive Men' " before the Colorado-Wyoming Academy of Letters, the forerunner of the RMMLA. His first published short story, appropriately entitled "First Sale," appeared in the Empire Magazine of The Denver Post in November, 1951. Since this first appearance in print, Professor Burnam
