Subject: what is "Golden Days"?

A friend of mine is writing a paper on Willa Cather's short story "The
Enchanted Bluff", where a quotation to 'Golden Days' is made, something
like "Did you read it in Golden Days?" This leads to think that it might be
a book or a widespread magazine - I don't know in which period the story is
set, though.
I would be grateful if anybody could direct their replies DIRECTLY to me.
Also, is there a Usenet group where I could post this kind of queries?

Historical Geography

I would be very interested to know more about
what research and teaching is carried out
within the field of historical geography. Both the curricula
that the students read and references to publications
will be of great interest.

SUBJECT: Reviewers for the Bits & Bytes Review

Dear Fellow Humanists,

Beginning with the Spring 1993 issue, the Bits & Bytes Review will
include coverage of academically useful CD-ROMs and related optical
products. Because academic CD-ROMs often are produced "in house" and on
a limited basis and budget, they receive little publicity and infrequent
reviews. We would like to help rectify this by providing a steady stream
of detailed reviews of the best of these CD-ROMs.

We value your input and welcome suggestions of CD-ROMs you would like to
see reviewed. You can help by forwarding suggestions to me at one of the
addresses below. An "ideal list" of academic CD-ROMs would cover the
basic disciplines in the following areas: humanities, social and
behavioral sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

John

Subject: Re: Sources of library quotations

I am looking for a quotation from either Ancient Eqypt or China. It deals
with lamenting the onset of written language, saying how it will destroy
memory and thinking. As it reads it appears like a modern comdemnation of
today's technology. I saw it once and I did not write it down. I've been
through the quotation "standards" but have had no luck. Any ideas, Stumpers?

Subject: literary stepmothers

A colleague is doing a study of stepmothers (real ones), but is anxious
to have a literary context for the perception of stepmothers. The evil
stepmothers of traditional fairy tales are obvious; she enquired of me
what other areas to examine. Victorian fiction, beyond Jane Eyre, ought
to be particularly rich; Trollop and Dickens, I seem to recall, introducing
the figure fairly frequently. Can anyone offer any immediate suggestions?
