19274222Southern U.S. 1927. Small ledger bound in pebbled leather over card measuring 7.5 x 4.5 inches. With events taking place across Tennessee Virginia Washington DC North Carolina and other Southern states this journal is comprised of 118 handwritten pages unfolding across a decade. The ledger was clearly a plaything of Ethel and her siblings in earlier years as they have left childish handwriting and notes dated 1911 to the pastedowns and endpapers. However the main content unfolds from 1916-1927 as Ethel claims the book for her diary and leaves us an account of how a girl moved from her teenage years and into womanhood while the world radically changed around her.<br/><br/>Ethel's tone in her opening entry is a reminder that teenage angst and ennui are not new inventions. "April 25 1916. I write this on a Wednesday. Nothing happened. Same old thing school school school." Despite feeling the sameness of her days it doesn't take long for Ethel to open up about the variety of experiences and feelings that really do shape her time. Revivals and Red Cross meetings take up multiple evenings after school; and she loves to read as an escape novels include escapist and sensational romances like George Barr's Nedra 1905 though she describes it as "same old life reading." By 1918 she also starts attending Patriotic Meetings as she reports "Germany's advancing" a concise announcement that is surrounded by news of boys she knows joining their companies and a string of weddings in advance. Global realities hit on the same week she begins school again in September for her observation "first week of school Don't think the lessons will be very hard" is immediately followed by reports of larger hardships a month later: "All the schools are closed on account of the flu. Several people have died with it. Duey Hines was buried yesterday she died in Richmond.in a hospital.Marton Sneed was buried yesterday.he died in Charlotte of Flu." Ultimately the flu grips her in a way the war cannot. "Friday 22 November 1918 Celebrated Armistice.School was opened after five weeks. We went to school for three weeks then it was closed again. December 3 1918. Tuesday all five of us down with the flu." Her December 5 entry is a string of named of friends who died of flu or are badly ailing and she does not write again until the new year.<br/><br/>The entries of 1919 reflect a new level of maturity in Ethel's hand and her voice; as a young woman she now has more freedom and more mobility and she seems rejuvenated by drives and visits with friends new dresses and fashions picnics and shows. Several nearby locations have moving picture shows which seem to replace the Revivals in her heart and her schedule. As she and her friends prepare for commencement in June she reports getting class rings and regalia and a spate of friends' weddings. And then. "January 6 1920. School turned out for the flu Tuesday. A good many cases in town. Uncle Tom sick for two weeks. The flu is awfully bad the people are opening an emergency hospital in our Sunday school." Amidst the tragedy and seeking scapegoats the town erupts in racial violence. "March 8 1920. Arnold's store burned down.negro boy killed last night." In the years the follow Ethel reports courtships getting a job and becoming a modern working woman. She reflects very little on how she was able to gain this freedom but clearly enjoys building a life of her own. <br/><br/>A research rich diary with opportunities for studying the transmission of the 1918 flu and its various spikes the role of troops moving through communities in spreading disease the historical relationship between pandemic and education the role of suffrage in expanding women's education employment travel opportunities and genealogy. unknown books

For a time his patron was Cardinal Giulio de' Medici and he mocked Popes and would be popes but in time he settled in Venice - the Anti-Rome. Ariosto called him "the scourge of Princes". He is remembered most for his satires and his letters which detail conversations with both the great names of the day as well as regular folk both women and men. His ability to manipulate the reader of his letters - which were carefully chosen and probably always meant for publication - by constructing a compelling narrative with himself as central protagonist - changed epistolary collections forever.
