Abstract “We Were Declared Enemies to the Country” brings to light two previously unpublished letters that describe the experience of Joshua Winslow, one of the consignees of the East India Company tea, as he and his associates were confronted by a violent crown in Boston in November, 1773. The letters afford the perspective of a man recently arrived from years in Canada to the fierce opposition to landing EIC tea in Boston.

Given that the personal and professional collections of a long line of African American writers have been fraught with problems, we should continue to mitigate the frustration of those who study, teach, and research these writers in much the same way that the National Museum and the Obama Presidential Center together are doing in ushering the “shadow archives” of African American culture into the light. With Jean-Christophe Cloutier’s scholarship in hand today, we are now better informed and poised to protect the integrity of African American archives for tomorrow.

Abstract This article examples the class and gender politics of theater reform in Boston, MA and Providence, RI of the 1820s-1840s focused on the third tier and sex work or prostitution in theaters. Both regulatory campaigns and Christian or moral reform mobilized constructions of the prostitute as predator while encouraging new policing of working women.

Employing digitized New Hampshire newspapers available through NewsBank, Lafferty explores such topics as the origin of news items, the subject matter and tenor of articles, and the speed of news transmission. A fuller description of his quantitative methodology would have been helpful. The relationship between New Hampshire newspapers and political parties also needs further explanation. To what extent were these papers extensions of political parties and did parties or their leaders support the state’s press financially? Inclusion of a bibliography and a more substantial index would have made Lafferty’s research more accessible to other scholars. Despite these minor concerns, American Intelligence enhances our understanding of late eighteenth-century newspapers and the transmission of information in a sparsely-populated area of the United States.

In the prologue to his new book, Hidden Places: Maine Writers on Coastal Villages, Mill Towns, and the North Country, Joseph A. Conforti describes Maine as “New England’s Alaska” (xi). Given Maine’s thousands of miles of fractal coastline and its sparsely-populated interior encompassing 27,000 square miles, much of the state’s literary fiction is set in out-of-the-way communities, some hidden in the sense of “hard to find on a map” and others “hidden” in the sense of requiring careful excavation to reveal their deeper significance. Primarily intended for general readers, but meant to serve academics and teachers as well, Hidden Places is neither a critical study nor a comprehensive encyclopedia of Maine literature but a useful companion to the best of the state’s place-based fiction. Conforti, founding director of the American and New England Studies program at the University of Southern Maine and the author of Imagining New England as well as Creating Portland: History and Place in Northern New England, proves himself a worthy Maine guide. In Hidden Places, he constructs his own canon of Maine regional fiction, consisting of eleven authors. In keeping with his book’s purpose as a general introduction, Conforti offers a capsule biography and an overview of each writer’s literary reputation, as well as lengthy, detailed plot summaries of selected works. His thought-provoking thematic juxtaposition of authors and texts provides critical takeaway for the not-so-general reader. Hidden Places is divided into three parts foregrounding the significance of place. Part I, “Coast and Islands,” includes three chapters on native authors Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary Ellen Chase, and Ruth Moore respectively. Conforti’s discussion of Jewett’s The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896) and “The Foreigner” (1900) establishes themes that will dominate the book: Maine’s decline and fall from an illustrious and outward-facing historic past, in this case, the
在他的新书《隐藏的地方：缅因州沿海村庄、米尔镇和北方国家作家》的序言中，约瑟夫·A·Conforti将缅因州描述为“新英格兰的阿拉斯加”（xi）。考虑到缅因州数千英里的分形海岸线和2.7万平方英里的人烟稀少的内陆，该州的大部分文学小说都以偏僻的社区为背景，有些隐藏在“地图上很难找到”的意义上，有些则“隐藏”在需要仔细挖掘才能揭示其更深层次的意义上。《隐藏的地方》主要面向普通读者，但也为学者和教师服务，它既不是缅因州文学的批判性研究，也不是缅因州文献的综合百科全书，而是该州最好的地方小说的有用伴侣。Conforti是南缅因大学美国和新英格兰研究项目的创始主任，也是《想象新英格兰》和《创造波特兰：新英格兰北部的历史和位置》的作者，他证明了自己是一位有价值的缅因州向导。在《隐秘的地方》中，他构建了自己的缅因州地区小说经典，由11位作家组成。为了与他的书作为一般介绍的目的保持一致，Conforti提供了一本胶囊传记和每位作家文学声誉的概述，以及对所选作品的长篇、详细的情节摘要。他将作者和文本进行了发人深省的主题并置，为不那么普通的读者提供了批判性的启示。《隐秘的地方》分为三个部分，突出了地方的意义。第一部分“海岸和岛屿”包括三章，分别介绍了本土作家Sarah Orne Jewett、Mary Ellen Chase和Ruth Moore。Conforti对杰维特的《尖冷杉之国》（1896年）和《外国人》（1900年）的讨论确立了本书的主题：缅因州从辉煌而外向的历史过去中衰落和衰落，在这种情况下

Abstract When the great nineteenth-century antiquarian James Savage disputed the assumption that John Winthrop wrote A Short Story (London 1644), he was on to something, although the evidence he adduced was incorrect. Taking as a starting point two facts about the book-it is a compilation of documents and bears numerous marks of being an intentional text-this essay describes how the Short Story came into being and suggests who may be the "I" who mysteriously (and unidentified) speaks in the text.

Jacks: African American Seaman in the Age of Sail (1997), is the significance of African Americans as mariners. Were there any African American members of the society? Personally, I would love to see the PEM construct a permanent online exhibit around this book. The value lies in the project’s interdisciplinarity. The chronology of the collection itself tells a story about Salem’s seafaring populace and global ambitions—an “American identity tied to the sea” (45). But the materialist lens ties in epistemologies from the histories of museums, science, and ethnography as well. Exhibits ranged from Tahitian tattooing instruments to Fijian sailing needles, fishing implements used in the Pacific Northwest, Indian textiles and palanquins, Chinese utensils and footbindings alongside dioramas of Native Americans. Like society members, “some visitors gained an appreciation for other cultures or new perspectives on the world outside of the city, state, or country, while others reconfirmed preconceived notions of faraway lands and people.” As Schwartz argues, objects could lose historical and contextual meaning after passing through multiple hands, but this, too, tells a story. Other items were produced collaboratively for display. A model of the ship Friendship was made by both American and Indonesian craftsmen. A mannequin of Parsee merchant Nusserwanjee Maneckjee Wadia wore donated clothing rooted in “a conscious desire to represent Indian culture in this new American institution.” In 1832, Elias Boudinot attempted to similarly influence representations of Cherokee by donating translations of the book of Matthew and other writings in the Cherokee syllabary. These men, understanding the importance of representation to politics, aimed to negotiate the terms of that representation. In 1943, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt affirmed that the East India Marine Hall at PEM stood as a “memorial to the Golden Age of New England Shipping.” But Schwartz demonstrates far greater significance. Reading Collecting the Globe is a bit like observing a zoetrope story in motion—the story is compelling, but the mechanism of the story’s production is equally fascinating.
