The late nineteenth century was a fecund period for the <em>Oxford English Dictionary<\/em>, which began to add and sift through words at unprecedented speed\u2014in large part because Dr. William Chester Minor, a murderer locked up in the Broadmoor insane asylum, was volunteering for the dictionary by mail. \u201cIn 1879, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlasobscura.com\/articles\/how-the-oxford-english-dictionary-went-from-murderers-pet-project-to-internet-lexicon?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=atlas-page\" target=\"_blank\">Minor began to submit thousands of words to the <em>Oxford English Dictionary<\/em> via a mail-in volunteer system to the dictionary\u2019s editor, Dr. James Murray<\/a> \u2026 Murray and Minor wrote each other often, but Murray didn\u2019t learn that his most prolific contributor lived in a psychiatric hospital until he traveled fifty\u00a0miles to see him in 1896 \u2026 Haunted by a branding he was forced to give an Irish deserter in the American Civil War, he suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, and had believed he was being molested and poisoned as revenge by Irish men, nightly, for years.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Henry James\u2019s late memoirs <em>A Small Boy and Others<\/em> (1913) and <em>Notes of a Son and Brother<\/em> find him recounting\u2014with apparent joy, at that\u2014the adventures of his youth: Adam Gopnik thinks the books deserve a wider audience. \u201cThe charm of the memoirs\u2014the first book in particular\u2014is helped, too, by their evocation of New York. Fourteenth Street and Sixth Avenue and Washington Square all register as the places they are now and were then, and yet are dazzlingly unlike. We are both in a city we know and in another city entirely, bearing the same street names, and this double vision delights us on each page. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2016\/01\/18\/little-henry-happy-at-last\" target=\"_blank\">Nothing is more charming than James using the full weight of his scrutiny on the simple attractions of his youth, the Crystal Palace and P. T. Barnum\u2019s American Museum<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Everyone cheers for the innovative spirit of Roman plumbing. Roman bathhouses! Roman sewers! Roman latrines and toilets! Fine inventions, all, but filthy ones, too\u2014research suggests that these advances in sanitation really didn\u2019t do much to improve public health. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2016\/01\/ancient-roman-toilets-gross\/423072\/\" target=\"_blank\">In some baths the water was only changed intermittently, and could acquire a scum on the surface from human dirt and cosmetics<\/a> \u2026 They were afraid of connecting their houses to the sewers, since they feared what might climb out of a sewer into one\u2019s house \u2026 They also feared the mephitic gas fires that sometimes burned in sewer holes or in the open seats in public toilets \u2026 And when they did go to the public latrines, one of the things they used to wipe themselves was a sponge on a stick, which was shared by everybody.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Who needs monuments? What good has a monument ever done anybody, really? Jed Perl argues that Rodin, \u201cwith his zigzagging enthusiasms, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/2016\/01\/14\/in-the-sculptors-studio\/\" target=\"_blank\">may have been the first sculptor to conceive of the monument in ways that unmade the monument<\/a>. He set the stage for the twentieth-century sculptor\u2019s conflicted allegiances to grandiosity and intimacy, as well as what many have come to see as modernism\u2019s embrace of ambiguity. Although Rodin was capable of placing an expressive figure on an imposing base, as in his beguiling salute to the seventeenth-century landscape painter Claude Lorrain, often he aimed to destabilize the monument, suggesting with <em>The Burghers of Calais<\/em> that heroic figures might have no need for a pedestal and transforming the imposing, cloaked figure of Balzac into a mountainous talisman, a primordial plinth.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Few would call this a golden age for much of anything\u2014but it is, maybe, a golden age for immersive theater. In New York alone there are at least eight immersive theater\u00a0productions showing now or soon to open. Whether this is a wondrous bounty or an epidemic depends on what kind of a theatergoer you are: \u201cIn the last six weeks or so, I\u2019ve gone to ten events involving all levels of participation, from not much to nonstop; varying in price from $18 to $200 a ticket; and ranging in personal discomfort level from mildly embarrassing to horrifically mortifying. I have experienced many interesting things \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/01\/08\/theater\/starring-me-a-surreal-dive-into-immersive-theater.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">I cannot say that this investigation made me want to join an avant-garde acting troupe, but my self-conscious little internal voice, the one that keeps experiences at bay by critiquing them even as they happen, took itself off to a bar<\/a> and got pleasantly drunk. Some productions were so compelling that you could not help but lose yourself in them, and that was exciting and unexpected.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good help is hard to find.
