The work supports research into African American cultural history celebrity authorship and the articulation of race faith and selfhood by a Black woman navigating national visibility.

1908ref. 002451Thomas Y. Crowell Publishers New York. 1908 The early 20th century decorative leather book is a translation that Jewett undertook a version of the complex Middle English poem The Pearl in the original meter and selected lyrics such as a "Nativity Song" adapted from the work of Jacopone da Todi. The "Pearl Poet" or the "Gawain Poet" is the name given to the author of Pearl an alliterative poem written in 14th-century Middle English known from a single surviving manuscript the British Library holding Cotton Nero A.x. This body of work includes some of the greatest poetry written in Middle English. The Pearl Poet remains unidentified. Some scholarship has argued to assign the poem to one John Massey a member of the landed gentry from Cheshire. This attribution of the poems of Cotton Nero A.x is not widely accepted however reflected in the ongoing use of the labels "Pearl Poet" or "Gawain Poet."

Toning and mild soiling to wrappers rear wrapper detached but present; contents clean and sound. Advance issue of the first report on how the disaster at Pearl Harbor unfolded and why the United States was caught unprepared. The members of the Board were General George Grunert Major Henry D. Russell Major Walter H. Frank Colonel Charles W. West Colonel Harry A. Toulmin and Major Henry C. Clausen. They were appointed to "ascertain and report facts relating to the attack made by Japanese Armed Forces upon the territory of Hawaii on 7 December 1941" and much of the evidence they gathered is presented here. Among their conclusions: The attack on Pearl Harbor "was daring well-conceived and well-executed and caught the defending forces practically unprepared to meet it or to minimize its destructiveness." The extent of the disaster was due to the failure of the Commanding General of the Hawaiian Department to alert his command for war and to the War Department for failing to keep him apprised of developments in U.S.-Japanese negotiations. The report also names serveral individuals in positions of authority and details their errors and failures most of which relate to inadequate communication to subordinates resulting in a failure to act and lack of preparedness. unknown
