Everything honks, everything creaks: Frank O'Hara and the early poetry of James Schuyler

In 1993, Geoff Ward stated that "O'Hara's methods were in a sense absorbed and filtered by Schuyler, his more exploratory and prolific output converted to a series of moves, a repertoire, that Schuyler could then deploy at will" (14–15). Schuyler, however, did not simply mimick the characteristic rhetorical gestures of O'Hara's improvisational approach. O'Hara's influence on Schuyler's poetic sensitivity is undeniable, but this does not mean that Schuyler's work can be adequately described as an amalgam of elements gleaned from O'Hara. Despite many formal and thematic resemblances, Schuyler was interested in issues significantly different from those which absorbed O'Hara. O'Hara donned many costumes; in short, there are many different Frank O'Haras. I suggest taking a closer look at particular poems (the early ones) to see which of these costumes Schuyler at times borrowed from his friend.

Dickens, judaism, and cosmopolitanism

This essay takes Dickens and Thackeray on Jews in London and in Europe, as contrasts, and it investigates the claims made in his lifetime that Dickens was anti-Semitic, especially in the writing of Fagin in Oliver Twist, though attention is also given to Great Expectations and Our Mutual Friend. The essay discusses the place given to Fagin in Dickens's autobiography relative to the blacking-factory, and also in the imagination of George Cruikshank, Dickens's illustrator for Oliver Twist. It traces also the qualities of grotesquery, excess and diabolism in Fagin, and its conclusion draws in the contrasted meanings of "cosmopolitan," both a citizen of the world, and one who is exiled, a stranger, and argues that Dickens gives place to the Jew as the latter.

Unmasking Moral Hypocrisy: How Preschoolers Perceive and Judge Moral Hypocrites

Many previous studies indicate that children are highly sensitive to the immoral behavior of others, preferring prosocial over antisocial characters. Accordingly, children avoid transgressors from a very early age. A special kind of transgressor is the moral hypocrite, who not only acts immorally but also acts in contrast to what they preach. There are very few studies establishing whether children recognize moral hypocrisy and if it impacts their moral judgment. We ran three studies with preschoolers aged 4 to 6 years on whether children recognize moral hypocrisy and how children assess moral hypocrisy. In Studies 2 and 3, we also tested false-signaling theory as an explanation of the more negative assessments of moral hypocrites. In Study 1 (N = 133), we showed that children indeed assess moral hypocrites more negatively than nonhypocritical moral transgressors. In Study 2 (N = 115), we initially demonstrated that the assessment of moral hypocrites results from their inconsistency between words and deeds. Study 3 (N = 159) replicated the results of Studies 1 and 2 and, by excluding an alternative explanation, explained that moral hypocrites are perceived as less moral and liked less due to the false signals that they send.
