‎Cleopatra's Nose: 39 Varieties of Desire‎

‎Farrar Straus & Giroux 2007. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price insid edustcover: $27.95. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears. 429 pages. "Men and women suffer from grandiosity in different ways. Men tend toward fantasies of omnipotence women of uniqueness" Judith Thurman posited in a 2002 essay on Catherine Millet. This latter claim -- that womanhood is somehow allied with the pursuit of singularity -- lies at the center of Thurman's new essay collection Cleopatra's Nose: 39 Varieties of Desire an insightful composite of two decades worth of her writings for The New Yorker. Impressive in their range yet grounded in a common sensibility the essays of Cleopatra's Nose taken together represent a cultural history of extravagance at the turn of the millennium from its fashion icons Balenciaga Armani to its fads artisanal tofu exercise bulimia. The collection occasionally loses sight of its overarching conceit proving stronger when it remains in the world of couture than when it ventures into literary criticism but these conceptual detours rarely detract from Thurman's authority as an arbiter of culture. She has a knack for describing textures -- those of both fabrics and lives -- in a way that captures the longing and indeed the variousness of our collective desires. --Amelia Atlas Synopsis: Cleopatra's Nose is an exuberant gathering of essays and profiles representing twenty years of Judith Thurman's celebrated writing particularly her fascination with human vanity femininity and women's work - from haute couture to literature to commanding empires. The subjects are iconic Jackie the Bront�s Toni Morrison Anne Frank and multifarious tofu and performance art pornography and platform shoes kimonos and bulimia; all inspire dazzling displays of craft wit penetration and intelligence. Here we find explorations of voracity: hunger for sex food experience and transcendence; see how writers from Flaubert to Nadine Gordimer have engaged with history; meet eminent Victorians and the greats of fashion. Whether reporting on hairstyles strolling the halls of power or deftly unpacking novels and their writers Thurman never fails to provoke inspire captivate and enlighten. Cleopatra's Nose is an embarrassment of riches from one of our great literary journalists. The New York Times - Kathryn Harrison The essays collected in Cleopatra's Nose whose 39 subjects Thurman classifies as "varieties of desire" are their author's attempts "through a feat of style" to "prove my existence to intelligent skeptics none more skeptical than I am." As readers of Thurman's much-praised biographies of Isak Dinesen and Colette might guess she has succeeded. Blessed with intellectual curiosity a sharp wit and an unwillingness to receive opinions Judith Thurman seems unlikely to produce anything less than a feat of style. Not all of these essays published with the exception of one by The New Yorker between 1987 and 2007 are long consequential or fully realized a few shorter and less incisive can fairly be called musings but as a collection of cultural criticism they are plenty good enough to preserve for posterity: they make an excellent book Lesser critics do postmortems; Thurman is a master of vivisection. When she's done with a subject it's still living mystery intact. Biography Judith Thurman is the author of Isak Dinesen: The Life of a Storyteller winner of the National Book Award and Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette. A staff writer at The New Yorker she lives in New York City. Farrar Straus & Giroux Hardcover‎

‎Correspondence of the family of Stephen and Azuba Noyes Tillson of Winfield New York and Peru Ohio 1824-1866; including manuscript poem by Azuba Tillson memorializing the death of her son Lewis Tillson executed on the orders of Santa Anna during the Texas Revolution at the Massacre of Goliad 27 March 1835‎

‎<p>23 letters 69 manuscript pp. dated 25 June 1824 to 12 July 1866; also includes 2 poems 4 manuscript pages; 1 list of flowers and their meaning 2 manuscript pp. and 1 note 1 mss pp. of the <i>"subscribers inspectors of common schools for the town of Columbia & County of Herkimer"</i> certifying Miss Elizabeth Tillson to able to teach dated 20 May 1837. Of the two poems in this collection one is titled <i>"Lines composed by Mrs. A. Tillson on the death of her son Lewis" </i>which memorializes the execution of her imprisoned son by order of Santa Anna during the Texas Revolution which came to be known as the Massacre of Goliad on March 27th 1836.</p><p>Of the 23 letters 17 are incoming letters to Azuba Tillson the mother of Lewis Tillson who was killed at Goliad Texas. She is mostly located at Peru Huron Co. Ohio. There are 5 letters written by Azuba's son Harvey Tillson who wrote from several places in Illinois Lockport and Algonquin where he had moved and became a large land owner; 4 letters are written by Azuba's daughter Florinda Tillson from Peru Ohio and Richfield New York; there are 5 letters written by Azuba's niece Polly N. McCollom from Richfield New York; and other letters written either to or by family and friends including: Azuba's husband Stephen Tillson Winfield New York; her daughter Caroline Tillson Richfield New York; her son Philo Tillson; grandchildren of Azuba and Stephen Tillson Alice M. Howe Algonquin Illinois and Civil War solider Jesper L. Ruggles of Co. E. 64th Regt Ohio Vols who was camped near Bardstown; and there are also a couple of letters which appear to be written by friends and family: Doreas of Richfield New York; S. Bigelow; and a niece Clara Dow.</p><p>The correspondence details the daily lives and domestic activities of the extended family as they move away from their home in Herkimer County New York to the emerging west of Ohio Illinois and Michigan seeking better lives farms and economic prospects. The letters inform us of various deaths and sicknesses in the family and in the case of Caroline Tillson a rather detailed account of her sickness and death. The letters also describe the emerging towns and districts as several sons of the Tillson family moved west and become pioneers in those areas.</p><p><b>Stephen Tillson 1773-1827 and Azuba Noyes 1785-1869</b></p><p>Stephen Tillson 1773-1827 was born on 15 October 1773 at Greenwich Worcester Co. Massachusetts. He was the son of Stephen Tillson 1747-1814 and Hopestill Shaw 1769-1814. Both of Stephen's parents were originally from Plymouth County Massachusetts but had moved to Greenwich in the early 1770s. </p><p>Stephen Tillson married Azuba Noyes 1785-1869 in 1802. She was born at Richfield Otsego County New York. The couple became the parents of nine children; all of whom were born at Winfield Herkimer County New York where Stephen and Azuba had moved and made their home. </p><p>After the death of her husband Stephen in 1827 Azuba appears to have lived for a while at Winfield before moving to Peru Huron Co. Ohio about Sept 1839 where she was recorded with her son Alonzo in the 1850 Census. Alonzo appears to have been the first to move to Peru and then his sister Florinda joined him followed by their mother and siblings: Isaac Lucinda and Elizabeth. An aunt and uncle had lived at Peru first which would appear to be the reason Alonzo went there. Harvey another brother had moved to Michigan leaving only Caroline in New York as Philo another brother had also moved to Michigan.</p><p>Azuba's son Isaac Tillson and daughter Elizabeth Tillson Perry and her family were Alonzo's neighbors according to the 1850 Census. Another daughter Florinda married and lived next to them at Peru as well. </p><p> Stephen Tillson and Azuba Noyes' nine children were:</p><p>1. Harvey Tillson 1804-1862 he died at Peru Huron Co. Ohio he appears to have not married. He moved to Algonquin McHenry Co. Illinois</p><p>2. Lewis Tillson 1806-1835 he died at the Massacre of Goliad Texas 27 March 1835. He married Betsey Dodge in 1834. She was born at Winfield New York.</p><p>3. Alonzo Tillson 1808-1893 he died at Charlotte Eaton Co Michigan; he married Almira Ruggles in 1846. She was the widow of Sumner Ruggles of Peru Ohio. Jesper L. Ruggles served in the Civil War and wrote a letter included in this collection was the son of Almira and her first husband. When the 1860 Census was taken for Peru Alonzo and his family were next door neighbors to Alonzo's sister Florinda who married Henry Ruggles presumably a brother to the deceased Sumner Ruggles. They were both farmers.</p><p>4. Philo Tillson 1810-1882 he died at Romeo Macomb Co. Michigan; he married Maria Bula Walter on 29 May 1835 at Nunda Livingston Co. New York; she was born at Nunda; in 1833 he moved to Mt. Clemons Macomb County and then removed to Romeo where he practiced as a physician he was elected a representative for the county in1844.</p><p>5. Isaac N. Tillson 1812-1890 he married Mary J. Morgan 1813-1891 about 1834 at Herkimer Co. New York; Mary was born at Winfield. He lived at Peru Huron Co. Ohio at the time the 1850 Census was taken.</p><p> 6. Lucinda Tillson 1814-1845 she died at Peru Huron Co. Ohio</p><p>7. Florinda Tillson 1816-1897 she married her cousin Henry Ruggles about 1843 at Peru Huron Co. Ohio. Ruggles was born about 1818 in Peru. Henry Ruggles was a Whig up to 1856 when he united with the new Republican Party. He held various Peru Township offices. He was a farmer and stock grower. Ruggles' mother was Hannah Tillson the sister of his wife's father. Ruggles' father Joseph was a pioneer in Ohio arriving at Peru in 1818. One of her letters to her mother gives a very detailed account of the last days of her sister Carolina. Another of her letters to her brother Harvey tells of the family moving to Peru Ohio yet another of the sickness of her sister Lucinda.</p><p>8. Caroline Tillson 1818-1842 died at Richfield Otsego Co. New York. A letter in this collection written by Caroline in 1841 to her mother relates Caroline's sickness and her doubts that she will live to see another year. Unfortunately she was prophetic. She died on 20 January 1842.</p><p>9. Elizabeth Tillson 1820-1886 she died at Hillsdale Hillsdale Co. Michigan. She married Daniel S. Perry in 1840. He was born in Peru Huron Co. Ohio.</p><p>George Tillson 1782-1864 Stephen Tillson's brother was a founder of Tillsonburgh Ontario Canada. He went to Canada and established himself as an early iron monger becoming pioneer industrialist entrepreneur and community planner in the area. His name "Uncle George" and his partners Joseph Van Norman and Hiram Capron show up in some of the letters. Tillson operated the Normandale Iron Foundry in Norfolk County before moving to Oxford County in 1825. The sawmill and forge that he established in partnership with Benjamin Van Norman formed the nucleus of the future village of Tillsonburgh.</p><p><b>Sample Quotes from the Letters:</b></p><p><i>"Erie Furnace June 25th 1824</i></p><p><i>Dear Father</i></p><p><i>I now take my pen in haste to send you a few lines respecting my health. Since I left home I have had my health very well except one or two days before I got to Buffalo. I am now doing business as clerk for the furnace which has been in blast only about a week on account of the founder burning himself in a colpit. They make ware very fast at present and have a very good set of moulders. They make as good ware here as they do to the Easterd. I expect Mr. VanNorman will start this night with a load for Buffalo in a boat. And now I will give you a few sketches respecting my journey. I went on board a boat the same night I left home the fare to Rochester was $4.80 and found myself which is 160 miles. I arrived at Rochester a Thursday morning and got to Brockport the head of navigation the same day 20 miles from Rochester. On Friday went to LeRoy 18 miles distance from Brockport. And here I tarried with Miss Noyes till Monday morning. I found them all in tolerable good health. Henry & Charlie are not very rugged at present. Henry was making his calculation that week to start for Vermont and live with a 2d cousin who has a store. On Monday evening I arrived at Buffalo and from here to Long Point I had very hard getting along as there was no vessels going immediately to the furnace. I travelled up the beach of the Lake a foot which I found to be very hard traveling on account of its being sandy and gravely. The best road which is about 20 miles further goes by the way of Lancaster. I crossed the river at Black Rock and started from Fort Erie in the afternoon and got to the furnace Friday evening 3 ½ days traveling 90 miles. I stool the journey much better than I expected to have done although it tired me very much and my feet got very sore. I found the inhabitants very thinly settled from 4 8 12 miles distant and 2 days I went without dinner till 4 o'clock. I found Uncle George's family all well and all the company except Mr. Capron the agent who had the ague or fever. I have not made any particular bargain with them yet as to my wages.</i></p><p><i>Lamond makes good wages burning coal. He is in good health he thinks that Reach might do well here burning coal. I think Prentice would do well to come out here next spring. Plough business is good business here at present and if he could work 1 month with a workman he would make as good work as they do here. I think a good shoemaker would do well here as there is none very near. They have had no school here this season but Harriet is a going to try it in a few days. They want a well improved school teacher very much next winter and they would give good wages. They paid ½ dollar a cord for chopping wood last winter in trade they are wanting a great number of common laborers at present. Provisions here are very scarce this season they have to go to Buffalo for pork. They have catfish a plenty here. They caught a sturgeon that weighed 100 lb. he was above 6 feet long.</i></p><p><i>Uncle George keeps the boarding house yet but he is a going to quit as soon as he can get a new house. The furnace seat is a very pleasant place.</i></p><p><i>Yours &c. Harvey Tillson"</i></p><p><i>"Peru Oct 1st 1839</i></p><p><i>Dear Brother</i></p><p><i>As I now have a convenient time for writing I will embrace it. I suppose you think by this time you are friendless & relation-less. Doubtless you are unacquainted with the place of residence of Mother's family & like most of sons or brothers anxious to hear how & where they are. I have been in Ohio a year. I came in company with Aunt Martha T. on her return from the east last Sept. Alonzo came in March. Mother Lucinda Elizabeth & Isaac & family came 4 weeks yesterday. We all live on A's farm in one house but separate families. Both families are well with the exception of Lucinda. She has been sick most of the time for a year. She was very low with the lung complaint when she started from Winfield but the tour proved beneficial to her. She had every appearance of a return of health till last Thursday night. She was taken very sick had a very high fever and has been failing ever since. Doc't Saunders from Maxville is the attending physician. He is an old practitioner and considered skillful in most instances. Sis's lungs have been very much affected but her cough is less & her fever higher. The Doct today thought perhaps he was inkling to the bilious fever but we think it doubtful about her recovery if she has a hard run of the fever. She is in such a low state of health but still there is a possibility of convalescence. Mother's health is better than it has been for a year past. I think a change of climate will have a desirable affect on her. </i></p><p><i>Uncle Ruggles received a letter from you in June I think stating that you had written to Mother & all of your brothers & had rec'd no answers but the fault I guess is more in you than them. You don't remain stationary long enough I think for them to know where you are or else letters are miscarried. Alonzo wrote to you in May & has had no answer. Lucinda answered your letter immediately & likewise sent a paper with writing on it & Isaac I believe has written notwithstanding all your meanderings we will excuse you if you receive this epistle & will only answer by way of epistolary correspondence or verbal. We are not particular either will answer although the latter would be both pleasant and agreeable. I assure you although you are a stranger to me in person I think I have a brotherly affection for you in consequence of the tie of nature which ought to bind us the silken cord can't be broken. I have a very faint recollection of your physiognomy and that is all. Do come and see us this winter. Our dear Mother with her hair blanched with age would almost renew her age if she could once more behold you with her natural eye. But alas she almost despairs of ever seeing you again but now we have got so far to the west I hope you will take the trouble to come & see us. Your traveling fees would not be much. Do come…</i></p><p><i>Yours &c. Florinda Tillson"</i></p><p><i>"Algonquin McHenry Co. 26th Feb 1850</i></p><p><i>Dear Mother</i></p><p><i>I received yours of the 12th inst this morning. It had been in the office about a week I was absent to Lockport. I made the trip principally to procure scions for grafting. I have not received yours of last fall. I suppose it has been over a year considerable since I heard from you before. Judging by the age of the long list of babies that I knew nothing of before it seems the country is very prolific. The deaths mentioned I had not been informed of before. Such information serves to remind us of the uncertainty of life and that we know not how soon the same may be said of us…'</i></p><p><i>Some of the farmers are now sowing wheat…My grinding shop was burnt down last fall so that my ground is now well cleared of for putting up new buildings to use the water. I think Isaac A might do well to go there and start business if the government would answer. A plank road is about being commenced leading from Oxford through Tillsonburgh to the Port. $37000 had been subscribed and plank hauling onto the route. Whiting VanNormon had moved there and was going to build a cupalo furnace on Stony Creek in co. with George B. I have an invitation to take an interest with them. B.V. N. & Uncle George are a going to build a double sawmill by the Dayton field as they call it. A very large tavern is commenced by some stranger. The town seems to be a growing. B.V.N. has sold of considerable of his farming land for a great price and is paying up some of his old debts. Lumber is in good demand there. A harbor is to be built this coming summer at Port Burwell so that the lumber business will continue to grow better and quick returns. I think Edwin D. is to take an interest in the double sawmill. The rail road is completed to Elgin and in operation being 10 miles below this place. It will be within 2 miles of this when it is continued westerly towards Galena. Our town now bids fair to grow and flourish. I hope we shall not have another so long an interval between communications whilst we enjoy the privilege of corresponding…</i></p><p><i> Yours &c. Harvey Tillson"</i></p><p><i>"Camp Morton Jan'y 9th '62</i></p><p><i>Respected Grandmother</i></p><p><i>As it is rainy so we do not drill. I embrace the opportunity to write to you to let you know that I am well and hearty. To be sure there is great difference between camp life and private life. I think I shall know how to appreciate home if I ever get back. We live on corn mush homing corn cake and now and fresh beef and pork. I assure you we get no dainties as we do at homer. The weather is very warm and rainy here. Very much different from the weather in Ohio. I have not seen a bit of snow since we left Mansfield O. We get but little news here so we do not know much what is going on outside of camp. There are about 15 thousand men within half a mile of us and they are about as thick all along as far as Bowling Green where Buckner is entrenched. In all probability he will be attacked before long but I don't think we will be in the battle. Buckner says he is between two trees and is afraid he will bump on both sides. I rather think he will back out yet if he does woe be to him. The health of the troops is good considering the number of them here. Alonzo Akers is in the hospital at Bardstown with the fever of some kind brought on I think my improper care of himself. If you are unable to write have Edwin answer. </i></p><p><i>Jesper L. Ruggles</i></p><p><i>Direct to Bardstown Ky Co E 64 Regt O.V."</i></p><p><b>The Goliad Massacre</b></p><p>The following are the first four stanzas of a nine stanza poem penned by Azuba Tillson the mother of Lewis Tillson killed at the Massacre at Goliad Texas on 27 March 1836 during the Texas Revolution:</p><p><i>"Lines composed by Mrs. A. Tillson on the death of her son Lewis</i></p><p><i>Oh cruel and most desperate Santa Anna</i></p><p><i>Has my Lewis fallen by your treacherous hand</i></p><p><i>from Texas bloody shore the dreadful news we heard</i></p><p><i>Tis where the blood red banner has been unfurled</i></p><p><i>Oh Santa Anna cruelty hath stained they heart and hand</i></p><p><i>How can you escape the avenging hand of man</i></p><p><i>Thou hast proudly boasted they scepter those wouldn't sway</i></p><p><i>They glittering sword was furnished for battle array</i></p><p><i>Oh cruel Santa Anna with all your savage bands</i></p><p><i>With crimson die hath stained that pleasant land</i></p><p><i>The heaps of mangled Soldiers that ground have lain</i></p><p><i>By that treacherous usurper have been slain …"</i></p><p>The Goliad massacre was an event of the Texas Revolution that occurred on March 27 1836. On March 19 Col. James W. Fannin led his men on a leisurely retreat from Goliad. Mexican troops surrounded the Texans later in the day before Fannin could reach the shelter of a grove of timber at Coleto Creek some 400 yards away. The Texans formed a square in the middle of the prairie and attempted to defend their position. Although Mexican troops launched three separate attacks against the square they could not penetrate the Texan position. As night fell Mexican sharpshooters were able to wound and kill more Texans. With little water to give to the wounded or to cool their artillery the Texans felt they were unable to withstand further fighting. On the morning of March 20 the Texans surrendered.</p><p>General José de Urrea attempted to secure honorable terms for his Texan prisoners. However Santa Anna had received authorization from the Mexican Congress to treat all captured Texan troops as pirates rather than prisoners-of-war. Against Urrea's pleadings all of the Texans were sentenced to death. </p><p>There were 425-445 prisoners of war from the Texian Army of the Republic of Texas that were killed by the Mexican Army in the town of Goliad Texas. Among those killed was commander Colonel James Fannin. The massacre was reluctantly carried out by Lt. Colonel José Nicolás de la Portilla.</p><p>Lewis Tillson Azuba Tillson's son served in Captain Duval's Company of the 1st Kentucky Regt. Vols from Bardstown Kentucky nicknamed the "Kentucky Mustangs." Tillson was executed after being taken prisoner along with others in his regiment.</p> books‎
