Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Medieval to New England Still Image Catalog Entry Throughout the Sahel region of Africa, women have long been the storytellers and weavers-of-history-into-tales told repeatedly over the centuries. The heroines in these tales are resourceful, and intelligent, who may play both the narrator and performer (El-Nour). These stories often brought both memorable events as well as everyday occurrences, social dictates, and cultural mores into the future so people would remember what had occurred in the past. Harriet Wilson, born in Milford, New Hampshire in 1825 to an Afro-American father and white mother, was just such a person: a storyteller who through her autobiography, became the first published Afro-American author. She narrated her own history in her book Our Nig or Sketches of a Free Black published in 1859 with the hope of earning enough money to keep her and her son, George, alive. After it was published, thought originally to be the work of a white author, it became a controversial story told with an emotional and narrative power that was deemed “unsettling” to many who read it. It wasn’t just read in the United States, but had an international following as well (The Harriet Wilson Project). What the book reveals is Wilson’s tenacity and drive to survive in spite of the odds. Between the ages of five and six, Harriet was abandoned by her mother and began serving as an indentured servant. She was able to attend school three months each year between 1832 and 1834 in Milford, NH. By the time she reached eighteen, she had taken on several other jobs serving local families, but her health began to fail between 1846 and 1850, when she was listed as a town pauper. In 1851 Harriet married Thomas Wilson in Milford, and by 1852 their son, George, was born at the Hillsborough County Poor Farm, where they were living. Just prior to this, Harriet had a small success when she published her poem, Fading Away, in the local Farmer’s Cabinet newspaper (The Harriet Wilson Project). Harriet’s husband, Thomas, is said to have died in May of 1853. In 1855, she returned to live at the poor farm while George was sent to live as a foster child with a local family and eventually returned to the poor farm where he died at the age of seven in 1860. Harriet’s health was a continual issue which often left her on the edge of poverty even though she earned a small amount as a seamstress, servant, and seller of hair products throughout New England. Her hair product business began to make money and between 1857 and 1960, it is reported that she became self-sufficient. It was during this period that Our Nig was published. Her later years were spent in and around Boston where she was a lecturer and spiritualist. It is thought that she died in 1900 (The Harriet Wilson Project). Seventy-four years after Wilson’s book was published, Henry Louis Gates discovered Wilson’s Afro-American heritage, republished the work, pulling it out of obscurity and putting it back on the shelves of contemporary readers (The Black Past). A statue of Wilson now stands in a park in Milford, NH. Bibliography El-Nour, Eiman Abbas H. "Not just a pretty face: Women as storytellers and subjects in the folktales of Northern Sudan."

Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Medieval to New England Still Image Catalog Entry Boudicca, queen of the Iceni, lifts her hands in victory or in challenge. This ancient queen led her people against Rome, even managing to sack and burn Londinium at the heart of Roman Britain. This rebellion had followed Rome’s betrayal of her late husband’s will, which had named the Roman Emperor as well as Boudicca’s daughters as his heirs in an effort to keep the peace. After suffering a flogging and the rape of her daughters, Boudicca began a campaign of revenge which did not end until 80,000 Romans were killed and many Roman cities sacked and burned. Her statue in modern-day London now stands as a reminder of her legend and bravery. Much closer to home in the South End of Boston, there stands a memorial to another brave woman. The Harriet Tubman Memorial, also known as Step on Board, honors a woman who showed a different kind of bravery. Nicknamed “Moses” for her work in the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman not only escaped herself, but led roughly 300 slaves to freedom over the course of ten years. Neither Harriet nor any she helped escape were recaptured. This was all accomplished while suffering from a head injury which caused sleeping spells from which she could not be awakened. Her statue shows her holding a Bible in front of those she led to safety depicted on a vertical slab. On the back there are various quotes from Harriet Tubman, Fredrick Douglass, and Sarah Bradford. There is also a map depicting stops on the Underground Railroad. Both Boudicca and Harriet Tubman are immortalized in bronze in the heart of two cities that each played an important role in their lives. They faced tremendous odds in order to lead their people to freedom and safety from tyranny, and their courage still inspires us today.

Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Classical to New England Still Image Catalog Entry Saint Mark’s Horses in Venice have a long, well-traveled history, especially for horses that are not actually living creatures. Cast of copper and various other elements, they are an outstanding example of human ingenuity (Alunno-Rossetti and Marabelli 161). The cause of their creation is unknown; however, their design is exemplary and their path throughout Europe is well-known. Their original location atop the Hippodrome in Istanbul could mean they were a tribute to their venue at the track, located in a long dismantled empire. Then they arrived in Italy at St. Mark’s Basilica, moving to the top of Arc de Triomphe in France with Napoleon Bonaparte, and finally back to St. Mark’s (Dowson). They will most likely never return to Istanbul, where they originated, as they are too fragile and they have already undergone major tests their structural integrity in Italy. The preservation of these horses has become as important as their heritage. The horses have been damaged by air pollution, salt, and sun. They have also been damaged during their many travels (Alunno-Rossetti and Marabelli 162). Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts, is an important part of cultural heritage in New England. Thoreau, the mid-nineteenth century author and a founder of American conservation, lived a quiet life on Walden Pond, and he documented it in his book Walden. He also wrote about his many travels in Maine, a trip to Canada, and of course about civil disobedience. He found great happiness in the simplest things and in the many journeys of life. He probably would have made a quest for the conservation of St Mark’s Horses because they have a high cultural and artistic value. He may not have been into fancy attire or factory lines; what he valued were classical traditions and classic literature, and these horses were created in classical times. Thoreau would have valued the preservation of St. Mark’s Horses as he was for maintaining the arts, and he would have been devastated by the environmental causes of their disintegration (Walden Woods Project). If Thoreau were to discuss St. Mark’s Horses, it would be through journeys of conquest and classical tradition in Homeric literature. Thoreau celebrated Odysseus and his many conquests and voyages, for Thoreau felt it was important for man to journey to find the best in life. The peace you discover in the world as an explorer was more powerful than any belonging you could have. Odysseus himself is similar to St. Mark’s Horses and their various travels. Perhaps Thoreau would have celebrated the journeys of St. Mark’s Horses as well, a symbol moved from place to place thriving and setting example as to just how amazing man is. Just as Thoreau’s voyages and journeys took him through Massachusetts, Maine, and even into Canada, Odysseus journeyed to find his greatest gifts and to evade a restless sedentary life. Thoreau’s epic journey, Odysseus’s epic journey, and St. Mark’s Horses are all connected with a story of travel and a wish for one last journey home. Bibliography Alunno-Rossetti, V., and M.

Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Classical to New England Still Image Catalog Entry The cultural heritage point I chose for this project is the Dogana da Mar Venice Atlas, which is located in Venice, Italy. The statue is of two Atlas’s holding up the world on top of the Punta della Dogana, which is an art museum located around the Dogana da Mar building. This piece I thought has similar features to the Minuteman Statue located in Lexington, Massachusetts. They both are made of bronze. They both have symbolic meanings to something else. They both represent more than they are. They are representative to groups as a whole. For the Atlas statue, it is representative of Venice as a whole and is a form of union strength with Atlas showing off how he can hold the entire world on his shoulders. On a top the golden globe that Atlas is holding is a goddess. The goddess is Fortune. The intended purpose for the goddess was to be a weather vane. It is also symbolic to show that you never know what life has in store for you and that you should always remember that fate can be unpredictable so be on your toes. The Minuteman Statue is of a man named Captain John Parker. He was the leader of Lexington Military during 1775 during various battles that were located in Lexington and Concord. Cpt. Parker was represented by various models with one of them being a Medford native Arthur Mather, who was a cartoonist. The term “minuteman” was used to describe the military as a whole. It was meant to show respect to those who were the first responders during any threat that had occured. The two statues are representatives of the groups and a sense of loyalty and resemblance to a group that is meaningful to the area in which they are located. For the literary connection to them I thought that the "Star Spangled Banner" was an appropriate representation of being symbolic to a group. With the song being the national anthem it is already representative of the United States as a whole, putting all the people within the country into sixteen lines. The song was created from the War of 1812 when the British ships were being bombed and lighting up the sky. The song was created as a poem by Francis Scott being representative to the United States military just like the Minuteman Statue was created to show and represent in a physical way. The three works have the sense that community is important to the local area that they are a part of. The Star Spangled Banner was meant to have heart warming feel to those that are graced to hear within our nation and is all around different sports events within the states to show that we all are one represented by those that play. The Doganga da Mar Atlas is that physical form of showing the nation of Venice as a whole just like the Minuteman Statue for those that served in the military at the time with other volunteers also.

Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Classical to New England Still Image Catalog Entry Within Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, Ishmael’s telling of Ahab’s revenge-seeking quest against Moby Dick proves that the ship captain was fighting for something that was taken from him and how important it was. He believed that he had to brave out the stormy seas to receive some sort of personal justice. This story, along with the photos of the Trafalgar Square Mermaid Fountain in London, England and Clinton, Massachusetts’ Foster Fountain, have a deeper cultural significance than we may think. Dr. Tracy’s photo pictures the graceful elegance of a mermaid swimming with a few dolphins. There is, however, more to this fountain than what one would see at first glance. This fountain was put in place as a memorial for Admiral David Beatty, who was a Royal Navy officer. He was said to have been a powerful leader and knew how to organize winning battles. Both Captain Ahab and David Beatty were strong-willed and knew how they wanted to approach these dangerous situations. The Foster Fountain in Clinton, MA is one of two war monuments put in place (Boyce 21). This fountain is there to represent the Clinton residents that served in the Spanish-American War. The connection between this monument and the Trafalgar Mermaid Fountain is the meaning behind the two. Both are where they are to memorialize brave soldiers who fought for what they believed in. Captain Ahab did something similar in Moby Dick, going after the whale that stole his leg from him. None of these people stopped until they were either victorious or died trying. As it was said in Moby Dick, “I try all things; I achieve what I can,” and that seems to be what these soldiers lived by (Melville). Knowing that they could only fight their best fight, Beatty and the Spanish-American war veterans were able to give all that they had. Ahab only did the same even if at some points he questioned himself. Even then he knew deep down that he had to fight for his revenge, no matter the cost. It’s important to remember those who had fought for what they believed in because without them we wouldn’t be as inspired to fight for what we believe in. A smaller, but still significant commonality between these heritage sites share is that they are both fountains. This water that surrounds them not only connects to the Navy, which Beatty was apart of, but it also connects them to Melville’s Moby Dick and Captain Ahab. Communities are brought together by such monuments and they “represent that community’s chosen method of remembrance” (WarMemorials). This type of heritage, whether it be across countries or throughout literature, play a large role in how we remember the important happenings in history. Even though these monuments have little in common stylewise, they have a deeper commonality once we dig deeper. It’s always important to learn about cultural heritage because there may be a lot that we’re missing when we’re simply looking rather than really seeing them for what they are. Without these sites, we’d have nothing to help us remember.

Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Classical to New England Still Image Catalog Entry The statue of Queen Anne at St. Paul's Cathedral in London was built in commemoration for the completion of St. Paul's Cathedral in 1712. St. Paul’s Cathedral had been affected by the Great Fire of London in 1666, and it was during Queen Anne's reign that the cathedral was rebuilt. The project was completed in 1710, and the statue of Queen Anne was erected in 1712. The statue that stands today is not the original, but a replica that replaced the original in 1885. The statue depicts Queen Anne at the top and four women at the base. Each of the four women represents one of the territories Queen Anne ruled over during her reign, which were England, France, North America, and Ireland. The woman that represents Britain wears the armor of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, showing the acceptance of Rome’s occupancy of Britain in the past. She also holds a trident which demonstrates that anything, including the sea, could not contain Britain's power at the time. They had a powerful, developing navy which allowed for an even greater ability in warfare than they already had. The Fisherman’s Memorial at the Gloucester Harbor in Gloucester, Massachusetts commemorates fishermen who have been lost at sea through the years. The statue at the memorial is also called “Man at the Wheel” as it depicts a fisherman holding the helm of a ship. The memorial is not only a tribute to the dead but also a reminder of how dangerous the occupation is. Contained within this memorial is a time capsule that contains forty-seven items that capture the culture and history of Gloucester in 1923 when the statue was commissioned. The inclusion of the time capsule emphasizes the importance of legacy to the individuals who commissioned the project. The statue also became a symbol of Gloucester’s Gorton Fisheries in 1904, demonstrating the pride citizens of Gloucester express for the courage of the fishermen. There are even well-known names on the register of the memorial like the crew of the “Andrea Gail,” which is the ship that is the epicenter of the novel The Perfect Storm. Like the statue of Queen Anne, the Fishermen’s Memorial illustrates the location’s connection to the sea and the importance it had to the society that the statue belongs to. Queen Anne reigned during a time of significant developments in the English navy which was influenced by Britain's increased concern with its political climate. The English navy would later become the Royal Navy and played a major role in many of the wars that Britain would participate in through the years. The Fishermen's Memorial is an acknowledgment of the dedication and sacrifice of not only the fishermen but their families, as well. A memorial for fishermen's wives has been added to the area of the Fishermen's memorial, and the name register has opened up to include women and children and fatalities not only occurring at sea, but those that have occurred in harbors, rivers, and lakes alike.

Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Classical to New England Still Image Catalog Entry War is an unfortunate reality of life. Many civilizations prepare for war and have many factions and groups dedicated to protecting the nation form invaders. Those who fall in war often receive monuments, dedicated by those they gave their lives to protect. War has a dire impact on society, and many lives are impacted by its arrival. Much can be learned of cultures through their memorials and monuments, such as their value of warriors, and how sacrifice and loss are processed by the population. Monuments to the fallen have been erected around the world since the times of the Ancient Greeks. One such monument that was placed to honor those fallen soldiers was the Statue of Minerva in Rome, Italy. The Statue of Minerva, located in the Gallery Il Vittoriano in Rome, Italy, is a tall statue of the Roman goddess Minerva. Dedicated as a monument to fallen soldiers, the statue serves as a reminder of those who have given their lives to defend others. Minerva is the Roman goddess of battle, the arts, and craft. Minerva is also heralded as a protector of soldiers on the battlefield. Those who had family on the battlefield would often pray to Minerva, asking to keep their loved ones safe, and to ensure their victory. This aspect of Minerva is detailed further in the Iliad, written by the epic poet Homer. In Book 6 of the Iliad, Hector, the Prince of Troy, falls back from the battle to ask his mother to pray to the goddess Minerva to protect the Trojan troops: “’Holy Minerva,’ she cried, ‘Protectress of our city, mighty goddess, break the spear of Diomed and lay him low before the Scaean gates.’” (Homer, Book 6). The Trojan women call upon Minerva to stop the Grecian warrior Diomed and to protect the Trojan troops and city. The idea of calling upon one to protect the homeland from an invading force is not limited to the ancient Romans. Civilizations spanning the globe and across time have built monuments memorializing the soldiers who have given their lives in battle. The Memorial to the Lexington Minuteman located on Lexington Battle Green in Lexington, MA, United States, also is dedicated to fallen soldiers. The Minutemen were civilians tasked with defending the newborn America from the British. These citizens were not officially trained and instead were citizens whom coalesced together to form a militia for the colonies. Much like the Statue of Minerva at Il Vittoriano, the Minuteman Monument at Lexington is dedicated to those colonists that sacrificed their lives in order to defend their home and families. And like Minerva, the Minutemen and other militia members were seen as the protectors of an infant America and were praised and honored after death. The fact that these two statues, separated by thousands of miles and hundreds of years, were created to serve the same purpose proves that soldiers will never be forgotten. Those who fall protecting their homeland from invaders have been memorialized since ancient times and will continue to be remembered.

Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Classical to New England Still Image Catalog Entry As an ancient country, Rome was built by the twins named Romulus and Remus. Amulius is the brother of grandfather of the twins, who plans to kill them for the power. The result is that the twins are saved by a she-wolf. The she-wolf brings them up until a shepherd discovers them. Finally, the twins become the founders of Rome. It is the story of the picture The She-Wolf. In the sculpture named The Capitoline Wolf with Romulus and Remus, a similar image to The She-Wolf, two boys are fed by a she-wolf. In Japan, several legends are related to She-Wolf. For example, Japanese Prince called Yamatotakeru is guided by a wolf once when he loses his way during one of his campaigns. Similarly, The Turki, one branch of the Hun people, are killed out by neighboring kingdoms, with only one ten-year-old boy survivor. He is saved and brought up by a she-wolf and they have ten babies. Known by kingdoms, the boy is killed finally. While the she-wolf flees away with their ten children. Surprisingly, they prospered and took wolf as their totem. Another similar legend talks about a god wolf, who guides the victory of the war. Besides, in the history written in the ancient Asia the wolf is regarded as the symbol or the ancestor. For instance, the Mongolians are descendants of a god wolf and a white deer; the Uigur people take wolf as a symbol of bravery; wolf becomes the ancestor of the Ainu people. It is related to the photo I chosen before, which tells the story about how Rome was founded. The she-wolf saves and brings up Romulus and Remus who are twins and build up Rome later. Those above exemplify that the she-wolf is paramount in a great range of world culture as a symbol or a belief. Some scholars show the suspicion about the twins’ growth. Look at the words in The Classical Weekly [3]: “Sceptics who have their doubts concerning the truth of the story recorded in Livy" (1.4.6). Concerning the suckling of Romulus and Remus by a she-wolf will have their scepticism jarred by the following, printed in The New York Herald Tribune, April 5, 1927: Allahabad, India, April 4: "A seven-year old boy was rescued by an Allahabad police executive in the Maiwana district, several miles from human habitation, where he had been living with wolves. The child is completely wild, moves on his hands and knees and on his back are protuberances resembling a series of hardened corns.” This boy is finally brought to an asylum. That is to say, it is not easy to be a normal person under such a wild circumstances. Therefore, the scholars doubt that whether the twins can be normal ones after living in a wild environment for a long time. Other legends claim the city is named after a woman, Roma [4]. But the version of twins is the best popular one among several different legends. Menotomy Native American Hunter [5] is a statue located in Arlington, MA, created in 1911 by Sculptor Cyrus E. Dal. The She-wolf is used in a popular Roman myth where the wolf had protected and nurtured the abandoned brothers Romulus and Remus, being very protective and conscious of its surroundings. In a way this statue of the hunter shows equal signs of defensive survival. She-wolf contributes much to the building of Rome, which shows its great powerful symbol of its time. It is not a kind-hearted creature. It is a defensive animal contrarily. Otherwise, the hunter holds some arrows in his hand which shows a necessary protection and survival.

Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Medieval to New England Still Image Catalog Entry Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral started its construction in 1163 and finished in 1345, the exact dates are unknown. It is a well-known medieval Catholic church located in Paris, France. It is well-known for its French Gothic architecture and stained glass windows. Outside of the cathedral is a statue of "Charlemagne et ses leudes," or "Charlemagne and his guards." The piece was made of bronze by two brothers Charles and Louis Rochet and installed in 1882. Charlemagne was king of the Franks and united Europe during the beginning of the Middle Ages. St. Anthony's of Padua in Shirley, Massachusetts is a Roman Catholic church. The rural archdiocesan parish was originally established in 1905. Beside the church is Whiteley Park, a veterans park named after John Whitely, the last Shirley Elder of the Shirley Shaker community. The medieval text, the Heliand or the Anglo-Saxon Bible, translates Christianity into something they can relate to through their previous religion. It tells a similar story to Genesis and was written by an anonymous monk. Instead of being a gentle healer, the son of God is portrayed as a warrior. Often times they refer to God as the Cheiftain of the people. The concept that connects these three is the idea of religion and war, how they affect the community not only individually but together. In order to convert the pagans to Christianity, the Heliand made the Son of God a warrior. This idea of religious figures being warriors is what connects the three. The local site being a war memorial in front of a Christian church reflects the French site of the Charlemagne statue in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Charlemagne helped to unite Europe, the French included, and John Whiteley helped unite the people of Shirley, Massachusetts.

Title A name given to the resource Connecting the Medieval to New England Still Image Catalog Entry In the image of the Madonna and the lily, the image is focused on the flower, and you can see the blurry outline of Madonna in the background. This image reflects and represents the story of Judith in many ways. Judith is described as “brilliant” and “radiant” (‍118), ‍meaning she is ‍beyond beautiful. The story also depicts Judith as extremely “wise” and “holy” (119). Judith becomes a female ‍heroine ‍in the story because her action to save her people was in the name of God. She wanted to rid her people of ‍the leader of the Assyrian ‍army Holofernes' ‍power over and killing of the Hebrew people. Holofernes was an “evil doer…[and] a cruel prince, oppressing men…” (119). Judith’s goal is essentially to save her people. She devises a plan to get into Holofernes' room and decapitate him. Judith left the Assyrians leaderless, and they were ultimately defeated. Judith committed those actions under God and in order to save the Hebrews from being killed, and throughout this story she remains a female heroine‍. The focus of the photo is on the beautiful lily and viewers may overlook the Madonna in the background, just as Judith was hidden behind her beauty. She is seen only for her looks and not for her power and faith in God, and this image shows how the Madonna and Judith have more aspects in common than most people may think. This image can be connected to Judith because although she does represent beauty, like the lily, but she also represents the holiness and strength of the Madonna. The Virgin Mary shrine connects to both the image of Madonna and the lily as well as the story of Judith. Madonna is another name for the Virgin Mary, mother of God. The Virgin Mary statue in Clinton is enclosed in a structure to protect and preserve the condition for years to come. However, the shrine is evidently weathered. The outward appearance of the Virgin Mary connects with Judith because they are viewed and judged based on what they look like from the outside. The weathered shrine, because of its appearance, makes many people overlook such a beautiful representation of the Virgin Mary. Unfortunately, people will see the outward appearance and care little about the old, falling apart statue. However, until viewers realize that it represents a woman who was exponentially holy and possessed a beautiful spirit in the name of God, then they will not truly understand how these images and the story connect. This is similar to how viewers may only view the beautiful flower in the Madonna and the lily image. It is important to view every aspect of an image in order to realize that details may be hidden in the background or underneath weathered statues. Lastly, the shrine is covered and protected by a structure that houses the Virgin Mary. Judith uses her faith and love of God to defeat her enemies. She prayed and worshipped to him daily and that gave her strength. The structure surrounding and covering the Virgin Mary shrine can be viewed as God’s love and support protecting and keeping her safe. Author and speaker Matt Fradd explains how Mary, the Madonna and Judith might have more than being holy and powerful maidens of the Lord. Fradd explains how “each crushed the head of the enemy king” (Fradd). Judith beheaded Holofernes and saved the Hebrew people, and apparently Mary crushed the head of Satan, although some speculate this is inaccurate and false because only God could possibly eliminate Satan. However, Fradd explains its possibility by stating, "it is precisely because of her unique role in salvation history that we can say of [Mary], in a way that we can’t of others, that the God of peace crushed Satan under her feet” (Fradd). Furthermore, the images and the text depict the presence of God protecting and supporting Judith, the Madonna, and the Virgin Mary. Benedikt Otzen compares Judith to the Old Testament. He focuses on the theme that "Judith is the struggle between the God of Israel and the heathen king usurping the place of God” (Otzen 101). He focuses much on the religious aspect of the story and how Judith was successfully heroic due to her faith in God. Once viewers realize that the images contain representations of Mary, it makes it easier to understand how God clearly connects these powerful women. Bibliography Black, Joseph, et al, eds.
