A Biographical Study of Lafcadio Hearn's Letters to Joseph Tunison

除了拉夫卡迪奥·赫恩的信件外，我还收到了约瑟夫·图尼森、亨利·克雷比尔、亚历山大·希尔、伊丽莎白·比兰·韦特莫尔、乔治·古尔德、亨利·沃特金等人的未发表的信件。用这些信件，我追踪了赫恩的朋友之间的斗争，他们为了成为赫恩传记领域的第一而相互竞争。他们是沃特金(以米尔顿·布朗纳为代表)、古尔德和布依兰。巴斯兰赢得了赫恩的官方传记作者的职位，并出版了这本书。拉夫卡迪奥·希姆1906年的生平和书信。然而，沃特金出版了由他收到的候恩的信件组成的乌鸦来信，古尔德跟随沃特金关于拉夫卡迪奥·候恩的传记，首先，我比较了布依兰和沃特金的传记，并讨论了为什么以及如何布依兰在如此激烈的斗争中当选，其他人对她的工作的感受，以及他们如何通过使用候恩的朋友写的信件对她的工作做出贡献，并澄清了为什么图尼森和克雷比尔如此害怕沃特金的书被流传。在下一阶段，我通过分析古尔德与图尼森和亚历山大·希尔等赫恩的熟人之间交换的信件，追踪古尔德完成他传记的过程。图尼森和亚历山大·希尔是赫恩的朋友们在他在辛辛那提期间寻找与他有关的信息和材料时的好顾问。古尔德的作品在赫恩的OJD朋友中引起了激烈的争议，因为他对待赫恩的角色的方式是临床的和批判性的。

I have received unpublished letters of Joseph Tunison, Henry Krehbiel, Alexander Hill, Elizabeth Bisland Wetmore, George Gould, Henry Watkin and so on in addition to Lafcadio Hearn's. Using these letters, I traced the struggl between Hearn's friends, who competed against each other in order to be the first in the field of Hearn's biography. They were Watkin (represented by Milton Bronner), Gould and Bisland. Bisland won the position as Hearn's official biographer, and published. The Life and Letters of Lafcadio Heam in 1906. However, Watkin published Letters from the Raven consisting of Hearn's letters he got, and Gould followed Watkin with Concerning Lafcadio Hearn, First of all, I compared Bisland's biography with Watkin's, and discussed why and how Bisland was elected in such a severe struggle, how the other people felt toward her work, and how they contributed to her work by using the letters written by Hearn's friends, and clarified why Tunison and Krehbiel were so afraid of having Watkin's book circulated. In the next stage, I traced the process of Gould's completing his biography by analyzing the letters exchanged between Gould and such acquaintances of Hearn as Tunison and Alexander Hill, the latter of which had been a good adviser to Hearn's friends when they sought information and materials related to Hearn during his years in Cincinnati. Gould's work caused a heated controversy among Hearn's ojd friends, due to the clinical and critical way he treated Hearn's character.
