Abstract
in this issue. . .
WILLIAM F. SMITH, JR., reveals the depth of meaning, both for students of the American Indian and for those seeking better to know the human personality, in the historical novel, Seven Arrows. Now Chairman of the English Department at Saginaw Valley State College in Michigan, Smith has published extensively on topics dealing with American Indian literature.
Joining the parliamentary and the presidential types of democratic government, according to WALTERS. G. KOHN, is a new, French model, the "presidential prerogative system." Author of many articles on politics in Liechtenstein and the rest of Western Europe, Kohn serves as Professor of Political Science at Illinois State University.
To SANFORD PINSKER, Huckleberry Finn was, like a Modernist poet, one who saw the world clearly, both the light and the dark, while Tom Sawyer viewed only the magic of life. Chairman of the English Department at Franklin and Marshall College in Pennsylvania, Pinsker has published widely and includes among his most recent works Critical Essays on Philip Roth. JACK FLAVIN is a librarian for the Springfield (Mass.) City Library.
GREG KUZMA's latest book of poems is Everyday Life from the Spoon River Poetry Press (Peoria).
THOMAS P. LYNCH, undertaker for the village of Milford, Michigan, near Detroit, spends part of each year on his farm in West Moveen, County Clare, Ireland, near the mouth of the Shannon.
DAVID M. CICOTELLO' s interview with William Kloefkorn helps us inaugurate what we hope can become at least an occasional feature in The Midwest Quarterly. Currently pursuing doctoral studies in English at the University of Nebraska (Lincoln), Cicotello has an interview with William Stafford forthcoming in College Composition and Communication.
CAROL A. MARTIN examines the treatment of Victorian women in the works of two novelists, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell, and finds them both more realistic in their depiction of mothers and daughters than their contemporary male counterparts. Professor of English at Boise State University, Martin has read papers on the novelists treated here and has articles in numerous journals.
JAMES MAXFIELD traces the parallels between the real-life traumas of novelist William Maxwell and their literary manifestations and probes the development of character perceived in Maxwell's early works. Author of critical studies on Midwestern novelists, detective fiction, and film, Maxfield is Professor of English at Whitman College in Washington.
TOM HANSEN teaches at Northern State College in Aberdeen, South Dakota. He has works in current issues of The Metro, Hard Pressed, Stony Hills, and other magazines.
JAMES E. GILBERT is Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Professor of Psychology at Pittsburg State University.
