    Nathan Eakin (1932-2000) first began the Gaylord Music Library Necrology file as a card file in the mid-1980s. In 1991, the project moved to a word processing file and in 1995, became available as a web page. The column formerly published in the Music Library Association’s journal, Notes, called the Necrology Index, was extracted from this Necrology file. Library Assistant Paul Hahn continued to update the necrology on the Gaylord Music Library’s website through 2018

    Historical and political preoccupations in "La nouvelle revue française" under the editorship of Jean Paulhan, 1925 to 1940

    Within the range of literary reviews in Twentieth-Century France, none has a more highly-esteemed reputation than la Nouvelle Revue Francaise, originally founded in 1909 by Andre Gide and his friends. Resuming in 1919 in a world profoundly shaken by the upheaval and consequences of the First World War, the NRF, at first under Jacques Riviere and then, from 1925 (for the rest of the Inter-War period), under the editorial control of Jean Paulhan, re-established itself at the forefront of literary and critical creativity. Informed by much of the unpublished correspondence of Paulhan, this thesis shows that the NRF was not exclusively literary. An examination of Paulhan's role, and of his editorial policy (Chapter One) precedes the identification of a number of themes. Already sensitive to topical questions, the NRF debated the role and responsibilities of the intellectuals (Chapter Two), whose attitudes tended to become more politicized as they grew more aware of the deficiencies of the Third Republic (Chapter Three). Their preoccupations reflected major themes, in particular Franco-German relations (Chapter Four), Franco-Soviet relations (Chapter Five), and the Jewish question (Chapter Six). Of course the writers involved with the NRF continued to consider political and international issues in the light of their own preferences and prejudices.; yet their reactions and interpretations show that they were ever-more conscious of the crucial, historical importance of the period. Indeed its nature was such that History forced the NRF, eventually, into adopting a partisan position which was Antifascist, anti-Munich, and which even prefigured the Resistance (Chapter Seven)

    Encephalitis Lethargica, viral illness and the binary structures of the modern British health system c.1900-1975

    In the early twentieth century, the modern British health system became structured in line with two sets of binary distinctions: between mental and physical, acute and chronic illness. According to some historians, this system was gradually transformed over the next decades through a series of changes in provision and policy, which integrated mental and general medicine and adopted a more progressive, humane approach to chronic illness. Challenging this narrative of integration and progress, this thesis shows and explains why over the twentieth century the modern British health system continued to conceptualise illness as either mental or physical, acute or chronic. During this period, members of the British medical and psychiatric profession positioned disease categories on either end of these binaries axes in order to connect them to specific provisions, resources and policies, to allocate medical care or financial support, and thus meet the needs of an increasingly comprehensive, yet often ill-equipped health system. In order to explore this contention, focus is on a specific group of illnesses which emerged and persisted for long periods of time after an acute viral event, often came into conflict with and thus from historical perspective expose these binary structures. Whilst this thesis explores how these illnesses were ultimately brought within categories aligned with the concepts of mental/physical and acute/chronic, it also highlights one important exception to this rule: Encephalitis Lethargica. Unable to align with these binaries, to be related to a series of practical decisions, and therefore fitted into the contemporary health system, this category therefore disappeared entirely. Given that these binaries endure and inform inequalities in our health system today, this thesis also hopes to provide an account of the past which helps us to better understand and critique circumstances in the present
