Norman Holmes Pearson’s life embodied the Cold War alliance among US artists, scholars, and the national-security state that coalesced after World War II. As a Yale professor and editor, he helped create the field of American Studies and shaped the public’s understanding of literary modernism—significantly, the work of women poets such as Hilda Doolittle and Gertrude Stein. At the same time, as a high-ranking spy, recruiter, and cultural diplomat, he connected the academy, the State Department, and even the CIA. For Pearson, this seemingly unlikely combination of the avant-garde and the patriotic was entirely in keeping with his “Vital Center” understanding of American civilization. In this talk, Greg Barnhisel will give an overview of Pearson’s unique career as scholar, literary fixer, secret agent, and cultural diplomat, focusing on Pearson’s hidden role in shaping a new understanding of America in the 1950s. Greg Barnhisel is Professor of English at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA. He is the author of JAMES LAUGHLIN, NEW DIRECTIONS, AND THE REMAKING OF EZRA POUND (2005), COLD WAR MODERNISTS: ART, LITERATURE, AND AMERICAN CULTURAL DIPLOMACY (2015), and CODE NAME PURITAN: NORMAN HOLMES PEARSON AT THE NEXUS OF POETRY, ESPIONAGE, AND AMERICAN POWER (2024) and editor, since 2014, of the scholarly journal BOOK HISTORY.

We were there the day that the tree arrived! Many people crowded around to watch the unveiling. The ice skating ring was also opened to the public.

Chicago The Musical

Classic songs, the performance is so camouflaged, the band and the dancers are seamless, and the charm of Broadway musicals is infinite. You must experience it when you go to New York. The stage is not big, and the seats are basically not too bad, and you can see the wonderful moments of the dancers.

Ctrip&#39;s service is very good. It is worth watching, the view is very wide, and the photos are more photogenic. There is no diagonal under the 24-meter cantilever, and the 2.7-meter glass is strongly inclined at 6.6 degrees. The building is of high quality. Buying tickets through Ctrip is more cost-effective than buying tickets on site. Highly recommended.
