Tom Merton: A Personal Biography

by

Joan Carter McDonald

Joan C. McDonald. Tom Merton: A Personal Biography. ISBN-13: 978-087462-016-0 & ISBN-10: 0-87462-016-3. 468 pages. Hardcover. Illustrated. $37.

This is the biography of Thomas Merton that tells us for the first time about Merton as he wanted us to know him. He provided that this very personal story, faithfully recorded in his journals, be shared with his readers 25 years after his death. Here we meet Merton, first as Tom, then as Thomas Merton the writer, both before and after The Seven Storey Mountain. We see the all too human fellow traveler we have come to know, as he climbs the final mountain of his life. Kanchenjunga mountain was a symbol of this journey.

   Merton reveals his hopes and his dreams against the backdrop of an incredibly turbulent period of social change that both frightened and energized him. We witness his love of the rich Cistercian tradition and his adjustment to its evolving practices following Vatican II. He interacts with some of the most notable international figures of his time, and he confides to us the difficulties he had in everyday relationships.

   This is the first biography that presents a detailed picture with photographs and other illustrations, never before published in other works, of events significant to him, along with a comprehensive publishing history within the context of his personal life.

 

Joan Carter McDonald (M.A., Tulane; post-graduate work, George Washington University, Washington, D.C.) has held research, writing, and management positions with the US Federal Government in Washington and in Germany, including appointment to the US Senior Executive Service. She has devoted the past six years to full-time research of Merton’s life and message.

   A lifelong Catholic, she attended the Catholic University of America and St. Louis University as an undergraduate student.

The fiftieth anniversary of the first publication of The Lord of the Rings, the enormously popular and influential masterpiece of fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien, is celebrated in these twenty papers presented at the Marquette University Tolkien conference of 21–23 October 2004. They are published in honor of the late Dr. Richard E. Blackwelder, who gave his important Tolkien collection to the Marquette University Libraries, long a major center for Tolkien research. Half of the papers in this book focus on The Lord of the Rings, while others investigate the larger body of Tolkien’s achievements, as a writer of fiction, a maker of language, and one of the leading philologists of his day. The contributors to The Lord of the Rings, 1954–2004 include a “who’s who” of scholars in Tolkien studies: Douglas A. Anderson, David Bratman, Marjorie Burns, Jane Chance, Michael D.C. Drout, Matthew A. Fisher, Verlyn Flieger, Mike Foster, John Garth, Wayne G. Hammond, Carl F. Hostetter, Sumner G. Hunnewell, John D. Rateliff, Christina Scull, T.A. Shippey, Arden R. Smith, Paul Edmund Thomas, Richard C. West, and Arne Zettersten. As preface, Charles B. Elston, former director of Special Collections and University Archives, provides a reminiscence of Dr. Blackwelder and his generosity to Marquette. Fans and students of Tolkien alike will find these essays informative and entertaining.

Thomas C. Reeves. Distinguished Service: The Life of Wisconsin Governor Walter J. Kohler, Jr. ISBN-10: 0-87462-017-1 & ISBN-13: 978-0-87462-017-X. Clothbound with dust jacket. 456 pp. 34 photos. $45

Walter J. Kohler, Jr. was one of Wisconsin’s best governors. Elected three times, he played a role in the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower to the presidency in 1952 and was known to be an administration favorite. Kohler’s challenge was to unite moderate Republicans, who backed Ike, with a Far Right that fervently supported Senator Joe McCarthy. His inability to please both wings of the Republican Party eventually cost him an election race for the United States Senate. In 1957 he was unexpectedly defeated by William Proxmire, a long-time Democratic Party rival and indefatigable campaigner. But Kohler was more than a politician. His biography involves the highly unusual story of the Kohler Company in Wisconsin, site, at the same time, of one of the most enlightened managerial policies ever attempted and the longest labor dispute in American history. Kohler’s story sheds light on the life and times of the upper class in the 1920s and 1930s, reveals his heroic role in the Second World War, and provides path breaking insight into his talent for effective and prosperous business activity. A very private man with several secrets, Kohler said little about his past. Now, for the first time, we have the definitive biography, based in part on hitherto closed family documents, photos, and interviews with friends and acquaintances. It is a book that should find a large audience of serious readers.

Anne-Marie Delcambre. Inside Islam.Translation of Anne-Marie Delcambre, L’Islam des interdits [ISBN 2-220-05415-2] Desclée de Brouwer. ISBN-13: 978-0-87462-014-6 and ISBN-10: 0-87462-014-7. Paper. 114 pp. $15

In the on-going discussions concerning Islam, the question of its numerous prohibitions and of its inability to adapt to modern society surfaces constantly. It is commonly considered to be a question of good taste to make a distinction between an Islam that is open, peaceful, and compatible with contemporary society and an Islam that is fundamentalist and decisively intolerant in all matters of faith. But is such a distinction valid? Does it not derive above all from an attitude that seeks to be “politically correct” and which makes any serious discussion impossible, to the great detriment of necessary evolutions, rendering them, indeed, unattainable?
In direct, clear language, Anne-Marie Delcambre shows that many of the prohibitions and constraints as well as the problems and difficulties of the Muslim religion in the world today are not simply fundamentalist aberrations but, on the contrary, derive directly from the very essence of Islam itself. Many of the elements of these proscriptions, interdictions, and commands are, in fact, to be found in the Qur’an and in authentic Muslim tradition. This is, indeed, the case in such matters as the discriminatory status assigned to Jews and Christians, the call to Holy War (Jihad) and even to murder, the position of women, the uncritical and anti-historical approach to the fundamental texts of Islam, the place of the Prophet, etc.
This honest examination of these questions is indispensable in order to acquire an accurate, objective understanding of Islam today.

Anne-Marie Delcambre, holds doctorates in law and in Islamic Civilization. She is Professor of Arabic at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, Paris. Her other books include: Enquêtes sur l’islam : En hommage à Antoine Moussali (with Joseph Bosshard et alii), Desclée de Brouwer, 2004. Mahomet, Desclée de Brouwer, 1999, 2003.

Samuel Hazo. The Power of Less: Essay on Poetry & Public Speech. ISBN-13: 978-0-87462-013-9 and ISNB-10: 0-87462-103-9. Paper. 113 pp. $17

“From the time of the earliest cultures to the present, poets have been seen as the most reliable witnesses because they are not only veritable ‘seers’ of the exterior and interior world, but they are able to convey their experience of it to others in language. And such expressions present us with visions of the world within and the world without that are not only particular to each poet but are also capable of being shared by us. Somehow this experience transforms our outlook and our very values in ways that nothing else can do.

“The greatest poets in history have endured because their expressed visions have helped us see and feel those things that are permanently true of the human condition. In our era when so much of what passes for poetry is really sociology, ideology, rhetoric or mere wordplay, it is well to be reminded of the fact that great poetry is more—much more—than that. Whether it inspires insight or wonder, visionary poetry is more than a different use of language. It is another language—a language that always manages to outlive its authors, its circumstances and the time of its creation. Poems come into existence out of absolute and unavoidable and largely inexplicable necessity. They are ongoing presences, and ongoing presences have no past tense because they always exist in the now. In this sense, Ezra Pound noted, all literature—if it is literature at all—is contemporary.

“Each of the essays in this book deals with some aspect of poetry’s visionary nature—its awe-inspiring impact; its reliance upon feeling as being more dependable a form of knowledge than the conclusions of science or discursive reason; its capacity to convey the mysterious so that the final result is not mere pleasure but wisdom; its essential difference from mere verse; its challenge to translators who struggle to re-create in one language what is poetically present in another; its capability of inspiring poets to spring the locks of falsifying or stultifying forms of expression in order to say what they feel and see as they actually felt and saw it.” From the author’s Introduction

The author of books of poetry, fiction, essays, and plays, Samuel Hazo is the founder and director of the International Poetry Forum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and McAnulty Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at Duquesne University, where he taught for 43 years. His recent books are The Holy Surprise of Right Now and As They Sail (poetry), Stills (fiction), Feather and Mano a Mano (drama) and Spying for God (essays). His translations include Denis de Rougemont’s The Growl of Deeper Waters, Nadia Tueni’s Lebanon: Twenty Poems for One Love, and Adonis’ The Pages of Day and Night. His book of poems, Just Once: New and Previous Poems, received the Maurice English Poetry Award in 2003, and a new collection of poems entitled A Flight to Elsewhere was published in 2005. He was most recently honored with the Griffin Award for Creative Writing from the University of Notre Dame. A National Book Award finalist, he was chosen the first State Poet of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by Governor Robert Casey in 1993, and he served until 2003.


William D. Miller. A Harsh and Dreadful Love: Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement.
ISBN 0-87462-012-0. Reprint of the 1973 edition with many new illustrations. Paper. 375 pp. $37

Marquette University Press is pleased to reissue William Miller’s pioneering history of the Catholic Worker movement. Originally published thirty years ago, it was the first book to draw upon the movement’s archives at Marquette University, to which Dorothy Day had granted Miller access soon after the records’ arrival in March of 1962. Subsequently, works by Miller and other scholars (including his students) have augmented our knowledge of the Catholic Worker’s history, major figures, philosophical and spiritual underpinnings, and present ministries. There are now over 150 Catholic Worker communities spread across the United States and in Australia, Canada, Europe, Mexico, and New Zealand.
A Harsh and Dreadful Love remains, to quote Daniel Berrigan, a “masterful and warm-hearted” account of the Worker movement from its origins in 1933 through the tumult of the sixties. For James Murray, writing in The Universe (Manchester, England), the book revealed “another America set over against the America of the inflationary dollar and the inflationary lie. That America is the America of The Catholic Worker and the best hope of the world.” Readers may find that these words still apply.

Joan of Arc at the University

Edited by Mary Elizabeth Tallon

 

Joan of Arc was a mystic, a soldier, a country girl. She fou‘nd the dauphin in a court of pretenders; she rode with Bluebeard to raise the siege of Orléans; she led French troops to victory at Jargeau, Meung, Beaugency and Patay; she paved Charles VII’s way to Rheims. She was captured and burned as a heretic by the English, with the complicity of the Church. She is a legend.
But her presence is more than legendary.
St. Joan is a hero for us now, when we yearn for heroes of more substance than those who flicker on our video screens. She is courageous, full of ginger, resolve, love of life, simple and unshakable faith. She is a politician who doesn’t vacillate. A military strategist who knows the value of honor. A self-taught lawyer who keeps her eye on the truth. Joan is a young woman with a purpose, who would not stoop to dissemble or to sell her integrity to achieve it. She is a girl who listens to her inner voices and is true to them.
Joan of Arc was the focus of a three week celebration that took place at Marquette University in the fall of 1996. This book, the fruit of a series of lectures which anchored that celebration, includes essays on Joan’s life and the history of medieval Europe as she helped to shape it; essays on her spirituality; on the legal, political, and theological issues raised in her trial; on artworks and films inspired by her; on French Gothic architecture; on adolescent psychology and feminism as they relate to Joan. These studies represent the University at work: outstanding teachers/scholars who bring their unique reflections and common understandings to see Joan in fresh perspective.
Joan of Arc is richly remembered here. As André Malraux wrote, in words that are incised in the wall of the marketplace at Rouen where Joan was burned: “O Jeanne, sans sépulchre et sans portrait, toi qui savais que le tombeau des héros est le cur des vivants” - “...the tomb of heroes is the heart of the living.” —Mary Elizabeth Tallon, Marquette University

Selving: Linking Work to Spirituality
William Cleary, Editor

The act of “selving” is poet G.M. Hopkins’ idea of—and invented word for—the crucial human act. The whimisical image on this book’s cover is of the twenty-year old Hopkins looking at himself in a lake, wondering, no doubt, about what kind of man he saw down there, never dreaming he might be sketching a poet to be memorialized in marble on the floor of Westminster Abbey next to Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth. Eighteen years after the cover sketch, he put the same puzzlement into words in the octet of his 1882 sonnet.

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell’s
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name:
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same,
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells:
Selves—goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is me: for that I came. . . .

This book flows from these words. Hopkins claims that birds, stones, musical instruments—and humans—?deal out that being indoors each one dwells, selves. . . ,? and concludes ?What I do is me.?
The book carries out this ?selving? theme. For each of our fifteen narrators, it is an exercise in story theology, working from their own story. They write about their work experiences—their teaching, their writing, their relationships—and identify explicitly or implicitly the tasks that were the most enlivening, the most meaningful—even if they did not succeed. The meaning, the spirituality, proceeded from the work. We had asked the contributors: write about the thing you’ve done which you feel came from your inmost self. Identify the times you felt most yourself, most vitalized. What might be your ?unique niche of belonging? in the great scheme of things? Chapter One strikes our keynote. Thereafter, the contributors are all colleagues in some way of Prof. Eugene Bianchi who is now retiring after a lifetime of selving. They add their stories to his in an attempt to celebrate here what, over the years, made their kingfisher selves catch fire. — From the Editor’s Prelude by William Cleary

Sports Law and Regulation

Edited by Joseph Gordon Hylton and Paul M. Anderson

ISBN 0-87462-006-6. 588 pages. Paper. 

About Sports Law and Regulation

No one can be a fan of modern sports without some awareness of sports law. The time when umpires, coaches, and league commissioners had the final say over sports disputes has long passed, and disagreements from every sport, amateur and professional, end up in the courtroom with a regularity that many find depressing. Today the effective management of any sporting enterprise requires a familiarity with the legal principles governing sports which have been developed by courts over the past three decades.
While most fans are aware that legal rulings shape the games they watch on the field, few individuals-even those with legal training-understand how or on what basis sports-related cases are decided. The behind the scenes interactions between labor, management, and government in the arena of professional sports and between athletes, colleges and high schools, international sanctioning bodies, and attorneys often seem unfathomable, particularly when its comes to the legal nuances that are critical to the resolution of so many matters.
Sports Law and Regulation is designed to alleviate some of this uncertainty. The essays in this collection explore the intersection between law and sport in a variety of contexts. Topics covered include the geographic mobility of sports teams; stadium and arena management, the power of teams to discipline their players; intellectual property in sports; the rights of disabled athletes; player-coach and play-agent relationships; the structure of intercollegiate athletics; women athletes and gender equity; race and sports; and sports ethics. Each essay is written with the idea of making the law of sports more accessible to the interested reader.
For the sports fan trying to learn more about the legal side of sports or a lawyer considering a sports law practice, Sports Law and Regulation provides an illuminating, and sometimes provocative, introduction to the field.

JOSEPH GORDON HYLTON is Associate Professor of Law and Adjunct Professor of History at Marquette University. From 1997-1999, he served as the Interim Director of the National Sports Law Institute. PAUL M. ANDERSON is the Assistant Director of the National Sports Law Institute and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Law at Marquette University.

announces publication of its first novel

Clovis, King of the Franks

by

John W. Currier

About Clovis, King of the Franks

In the late 5th and early 6th centuries, Rome had fallen and chroniclers were few. Much of the information they passed along to us, whether in the form of story or song, history or fiction, was offered with a specific goal in mind, such as defending the authority of the Church or confirming the power of God. In this time, before France was France, in the days of Gaul, a proud people known as Franks, played a dominant role in the history of that place. The young chieftain, Clovis, became instrumental as Gaul was transformed into France.

The writings of Gregory of Tours give us the most important record of the significant events in the life of Clovis, King of the Franks, though his account is sometimes more fantasy than fact. Still, through his efforts, and the efforts of others, like Fredegar and the anonymous writer of the Liber Historiae Francorum, we have the building blocks necessary to construct a story about Clovis.

Readers will face the problem of trying to understand a culture not their own. Some might find it surprising, for example, that in the time of Clovis, married priests could still be found and bishops were occasionally succeeded by their sons. That is but one example of the many and varied dilemmas a modern reader might face when opening a book dealing with the early Middle Ages. Perhaps it is best to surrender to the predicament and move on.

Medieval historians acknowledge how difficult it is to establish a reliable chronology for this time. I have seen the same difficulty and have tried to place the significant events of the story in an appropriate way. Many conversations had to be invented, along with a few characters. All that has been invented, however, is intended to support the spirit of the historical record and is, hopefully, reasonable and entertaining.

In researching Clovis, I discovered a story well worth telling. It is a sweeping tale of romance, treachery, and adventure. It is a story that deserves to be told, not only because of its significance, but also because it is, very simply, a good story. — From the author’s Preface

“On October 6, 1990, the Reverend Albert J. DiUlio, S.J., was inaugurated as the twenty-first president of Marquette University. In his inaugural address, Father DiUlio called upon the assembled University community to continue to expand its dedication to the three fundamental Ignatian principles upon which Marquette was rounded: discovery, faith, and service. It is particularly noteworthy that Father DiUlio’s inauguration and the Inaugural Lecture Series took place during the 1990-1991 academic year, for that year was also a worldwide Ignatian Year, commemorating and celebrating the five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Ignatius Loyola and the four-hundred-fiftieth anniversary of his founding of the Society of Jesus. In this context, these lectures take on a larger purview than that of a simple institutional Festschrift. They become a part of the legacy of Ignatius’s transforming vision and the most recent contributions to a centuries-old Jesuit ministry in education.” — From the Foreword by Francis M. Lazarus
