  1. A staged reading of Joanna Baillie’s 1798 comedy THE TRYAL. The text has been modified for the stage: it has been shortened but there is also a scene added to clarify the plot. This reading brings to life a text Baillie was unable to produce in her own day.

  30. "Valley of the Yosemite," Albert Bierstadt, 1864.

    Prussian-born Bierstadt (1830-1902) became one of America's most acclaimed artists for his visual chronicles of the American West, in a time before it was opened up by railways.

    He studied painting in the Dusseldorf school, then joined the Hudson River School before taking his first journey west in 1859. From then on, he became famous for his paintings of the untouched frontiers to the west, most of which were fairly romanticized, but at the same time, he was trying to preserve an idea of what the land was like before the influx of travelers, as railroads were built.

    He had a lot of commercial success, but after the Civil War ended, his work began to be viewed as overly theatrical, and by the 1890s he had fallen out of favor; a fire in his studio destroyed a number of his paintings as well. When he passed away he was nearly forgotten.

    In the 1960s, though, he was rediscovered, & there's still some controversy...some still regard his work as "soulless" and overly theatrical and romantic, while others view his work as supporting the early conservation movement and the creation of the national park system. I kinda like the romanticism myself.

  35. A true #enlightened #man knows the benefits of #intellectualism, #romanticism & #socialism by way of mere inference.

    Power in numbers cannot be understated, as it is the foundation of #democracy. #PublicEducation cannot be underrated, as it is the foundation of the #sciences. #Culture & #Congregation is there to fulfill basic needs that all humans have. Take away this and the man never grows.

    The #manchild is merely a result of the environment being incapable of raising a boy to become a man

  36. Now look back. Again. Here’s Martin’s ‘The Great Day of His Wrath’ (1851-3). And then here’s Harry Durgin’s incredible shot of Mauna Loa from this week, 2023. On the scene. With a high-spec digital camera. A full 171 years later.
