Women played an important role in supporting the war, both at home and on the battlefield, despite the constrictions of gender roles of the time. While new Jersey african americans welcomed the fight to abolish slavery, their role in the conflict was also limited by the racist structures and beliefs of their society. the authors who have contributed to this special issue of the JRUL will explore all of these issues. this sesquicentennial period (2011–2015) has reignited interest in the civil War, resulting in numerous publications, exhibitions, and public programs throughout the state, particularly through the efforts of the new Jersey civil War sesquicentennial committee. special collections and University archives of Rutgers University libraries (sc/Ua) sponsored a major exhibition, Struggle Without End: New Jersey and the Civil War, and a series of programs, which were generously supported by the new Jersey council for the humanities, a state partner of the national endowment for the humanities. several of the program presenters are contributors","PeriodicalId":247763,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124969154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As Stephanie Hunt shows in the essay that follows, this love poem was too scandalously explicit to be printed in 1633, two years after Donne’s death, when most of his poetry first appeared in print. The scribal anthologist who collected the poem set it on the same page as a little sonnet, which also provides insight into the practices and assumptions of contemporary readers. The accompanying poem would not now be anthologized with Donne or included in an anthology of Renaissance verse, as it is more a tavern song than a product of high culture.","PeriodicalId":247763,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123553388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
