Very good
Description
[South Hadley, Massachusetts]: [Mount Holyoke College], 1941. Very good. 9 3/8” x 21” sheet, printed both sides and folded to create a 9 3/8” x 7” brochure. Very good: creased at old horizontal fold, a bit of light wear and spotting. This is a promotional for a series of “Illustrated Lectures” by an important author, professor, women's rights and political advocate, Jeannette Marks. Jeannette Augustus Marks was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1875. She earned her BA from Wellesley College in 1900. There she met Mary Emma Woolley, then a Wellesley professor, soon to be president of Mount Holyoke College (MHC) and her companion for the next 50 years. In 1901 Woolley appointed Marks instructor in MHC's English Department; she would later become chair. At MHC Marks founded the Play and Poetry Shop Talks lecture series, bringing notable authors and poets to campus to discuss modern literature. She also founded the school's Laboratory Theatre in 1928. A prolific writer, Marks was best known for The Family of the Barretts, a family biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, as well as The Life and Letters of Mary Emma Woolley. She served as chair of the New York State Branch of the National Woman's Party and advocated politically for Eugene V. Debs. Marks died in 1964; the LGBTQ+ center at MHC is named in her honor. This brochure lists five of Marks' lectures, including the “Adventure in Research” that facilitated her work on the Brownings; “Love's Garden: The Home Life of the Barrett Children” and an “Interpretive History” of “Our Neighbors in the Caribbean.” It is rich with glowing testimonials from such notables as author and women's activist Mary Ritter Beard, novelist and Yale professor William Lyon Phelps, a “descendant of the Barretts” and “a considerable authority” on Jamaica and the West Indies. It boasts of the copious illustrations which accompanied each lecture and elucidates the terms by which Marks' appearance could be obtained, including the fees for single lectures or an entire course to be delivered within a week. Not located in OCLC or online, though a copy may be present in the Jeannette Marks papers housed at MHC.
