Instructions for crochet have been a staple of women's magazines for well over a century, and early books on the subject were eagerly sought by practitioners of the art.\n\nDuring the first sixty years of the twentieth century, America's thread companies produced thousands of inexpensive instructional leaflets designed to promote their products. These leaflets featured beautiful crocheted tablecloths, bedspreads, doilies, edgings and other household items. By the 1960s, however, tastes in needlework had changed, and such crocheted accessories were no longer in favor.\n\nToday, there is a new interest in crochet, and these now rare instruction leaflets, and the designs featured in them, have become collector's items. Here we offer directions for 80 of the finest designs from the 30s, 40s and 50s. Modern technology permits us to present them to you exactly as they originally appeared. For your convenience, we have arranged the designs into four categories\u2014Tablecloths and Placemats, Bedspreads, Doilies and Edgings.\n\nA number of the threads called for in the directions are still available; if not, other, similar threads can easily be found. Be careful when buying threads, however, because some product names used in the past are now being reused on completely different threads. If using colored threads, be sure to buy enough at one time to complete your project, since dye lots can vary considerably.\n\nMany of the patterns in the book list a gauge\u2014the number of stitches per inch or the size of the individual motifs or blocks. However, not all patterns give this information. Doilies often list only a finished size, while a few patterns do not even do this. In these cases, a small variation in the size of the design will make little difference to the appearance of the finished piece. Whether there is a gauge listed or not, the number of stitches and rows should be the same as indicated in the directions. Work a sample of the pattern using the suggested thread and hook and compare it to the gauge if one is listed. If your piece is too big, use a smaller hook; if too small, use a larger hook. If no gauge is stated, check the appearance of your work\u2014if the stitches are loose and untidy, use a smaller hook; if they are crowded, use a larger hook. Edgings are a special case and can be made using a variety of threads, depending on the desired effect. Just remember, the finer the thread, the smaller the hook required.\n\nYour finished piece will be improved by careful washing and blocking. For large projects that are made up of many units sewn together, you may find it easier to block the individual pieces before joining them. Use a neutral soap and cool water. Gently squeeze the suds through the crochet; do not rub. Rinse thoroughly. Pad a flat surface with several layers of thick terry toweling. Using rust-proof pins, pin the piece, right side down, on the surface, pinning each picot and loop in place. When the crochet is almost dry, press it through a damp cloth with a moderately hot iron. Do not allow the iron to rest on the stitches, particularly the raised stitches.\n\nTo give a crisper look to doilies, starch them after washing. Mix the starch solution following the manufacturer's directions and immerse the piece in the solution, squeezing it through the stitches. Squeeze out the excess and pin the piece in place as described above. For a ruffled doily, use a very heavy starch solution and pin the piece _right side up_ , leaving the ruffle free. Shape the ruffle with your fingers as the piece dries.\n\nThe terminology and hooks listed in this book are those used in the United States. The charts opposite give the U.S. names of crochet stitches and their equivalents in other countries and the approximate equivalents to U.S. crochet hook sizes. Crocheters should become thoroughly familiar with the differences in both crochet terms and hook sizes before starting any project.\n\nThe stitches used in the projects in this book are explained on page 95. A metric conversion chart is located on page 96.\n_Tableclothes and Placemats_\n\n_Mayfair Dinner Set_\n\n**Materials:** Clark's O.N.T. Mercerized Crochet, Size 50, White, 13 balls; or J. & P. Coats 8 balls. 1-1\/3 yards of 36 or 39 inch pastel linen. Milward's steel crochet hook No. 11.\n\nFan Medallion measures about 4\u00bd inches on each straight edge.\n\n**Fan Medallion:** * Ch 5, d c in 1st st of ch, working off only 2 loops, d c in same st, working off only 2 loops, thread over and draw through remaining loops on hook. Repeat from * making 40 scallops. Break thread but do not fasten off. **2nd row:** Attach thread between 18th and 19th scallops, counting from start of row, ch 8, tr tr between 2nd and 3rd scallops to left, ch 8, s c between next 2nd and 3rd scallops to left. Fasten off. **3rd row:** Attach thread between next 3rd and 4th scallops from start of last row. * Ch 6, Clones knot in 4th ch from hook. (To make Clones knot, thread over, insert hook in 4th ch from hook and draw up a loop, bring it forward and up and thread over again as for a d c. Continue to draw up loops from over and under the ch for 8 times (16 loops over hook). Draw thread through all loops on hook at once, thread over and draw through loop on hook, and make an s c around ch at base of knot, drawing tight which completes the knot.) Then ch 2, skip 2 sts of ch of last row, make long tr tr (thread over 5 times) in next st. Repeat from * 4 more times. Ch 6, knot, ch 2, s c between 3rd and 4th scallops. Fasten off. **4th row:** Attach thread between next 3rd and 4th scallops from start of last row. * Ch 7, knot, ch 3, long tr tr over long tr tr of row below. Repeat from * 4 more times. Ch 7, knot, ch 3, s c between 3rd and 4th scallops. Fasten off. **5th, 6th, 7th rows:** Continue working same way, with longer chs between knots. For 5th row, ch 8, knot, ch 4; 6th row, ch 9, knot, ch 5; 7th row, ch 11, knot, ch 7. **8th row:** Attach thread close to last scallop made, * long tr tr over next long tr tr of previous row, 5 scallops (same as for 1st row), repeat 5 more times, joining last scallop with sl st to 1st scallop of 1st row. **9th row:** Ch 11, d c in 1st st of ch, * ch 4, d c between next 2 scallops. Repeat from * along both sides of fan, making ch 7, d c in same st at point. Around curve of fan, ch 5, d c between next 2 scallops, joining last ch 5 to 3rd st of 1st ch 11. Fasten off.\n\nMake 4 fan medallions for each plate doily and center runner. Pin medallions into shape and press with a damp cloth. Cut colored linen 12 by 18 inches for plate doilies and 12 by 30 inches for runner. Sew a fan medallion in place in each corner, making allowance that after linen is hemmed between medallions, the beading row of ch 5 and d c around curve of fan will extend out beyond edge of hemmed linen. Cut out corners of linen allowing \u215b inch to turn back. Slash at inside corners. Work over edge of medallion and linen closely with Six Strand Floss, using 2 strands doubled. Then hem edges of linen between medallions and work a beading row across linen edges, joining the beading rows around curve of fans. Make beading rows ch 4, d c. When complete, work around doily with 4 s c over each ch and s c over s c. **Edge.** Ch 4, 2 d c in top of last s c, working off only 1 loops of each d c, thread over and draw thread through remaining loops, * ch 11, knot, ch 7, 3 d c in 10th s c on edge, working off d c's as before. Repeat from * around.\n\n**Circular Medallion for Runner.** Make a row of 40 scallops as for 1st row of fan. Fasten off. Make another row of 20 scallops, sl st between 20th and 21st scallops of 1st row, then make 20 more scallops. Fasten off. Attach thread between 2nd and 3rd scallop of 1 row, counting from center crossing, * ch 8, d tr in center crossing, ch 8, 1 sl st between 2nd and 3rd scallops of next row. Repeat from * around and join with sl st to start of row and fasten off. **3rd row:** Attach thread between next 3rd and 4th scallops and make same as 3rd row of fan, crossing over each of the 4 rows of scallops working around complete circle. **4th to 7th rows incl:** Same as corresponding rows of fan. **8th row:** Attach thread to end of 1 row of scallops, make * 5 scallops, long tr tr over next long tr tr of previous row and repeat from * 5 more times, joining to end of next row of scallops with 1 s c. Continue around. **9th row:** Ch 9, 1 d c between next 2 scallops, * ch 5, 1 d c between next 2 scallops and repeat from * around. Fasten off. Set circular medallion into linen runner and finish with an edging the same as for the fan medallions.\n\n_Poinsettia Tablecloth_\n\n**Materials Required\u2014**\n\n**AMERICAN THREAD COMPANY  \n\"STAR\" MERCERIZED CROCHET COTTON.  \nARTICLE 20.

With a sewing needle and crochet cotton, sew motifs together with 2 or 3 over and over stitches. Do not break off thread, but make a running stitch through the ch-loop on one motif to as far as center of next ch-loop. Be careful not to draw thread too tight. Take 2 or 3 over and over stitches in the center of this loop and the one on the other motif to join the 2 motifs together. Thus continue joining around blocks.\n\n_Pond Lily Tablecloth_\n\nMaterials Required\u2014\n\nAMERICAN THREAD COMPANY\n\n\"STAR\" MERCERIZED CROCHET COTTON.\n\nARTICLE 20. SIZE 20\n\n36\u2014250 yd.

Many have agreed that Coleridge's brilliance comes shrouded in an obscure, infuriating intricacy. In order to analyze that intricacy, and yet not to write a book as labyrinthine as the _Biographia_ itself, I have 'at all times endeavoured to look steadily at my subject': the order and relation of parts that I call 'design'. I occasionally discuss Coleridge's plagiarisms and his misquotations, but only when they create or solve interesting rhetorical problems. I discuss Coleridge's personal history only when such details reveal particularly well how he creates a literary life'. I discuss Wordsworth in somewhat greater detail, but I am not centrally concerned with illuminating that friendship and its theoretical disputes. Wordsworth appears in _Biographia Literaria_ partly as an individual, but more centrally as the ideal philosophic poet \u2014 and in all instances as Coleridge's idea of him. I step outside that conception only when recourse to Wordsworth's criticism proves requisite to the full understanding of how Coleridge designs his counter-argument. None the less, the Wordsworth portrayed in my pages remains the _Biographia_ 's image of him. Major work needs to be done on each of these issues.\n\nIn evaluating _Biographia Literaria_ as a discourse, I do not commonly engage philosophic 'first questions' in my own right: I am not a philosopher. I do point out how Coleridge's conclusions depend upon assumptions usually drawn from Christianity. I also describe how the coherence of his theory depends not only on the validity of these assumptions, but also upon the ways in which they modify and restrict each other. But in my own analyses I ordinarily grant the validity of these starting-points.\n\nAnd it should be admitted from the start that I have thoroughly enjoyed the puzzles Coleridge's discourse presents. One day a colleague commented ruefully to me that one must be a true 'Coleridgean' to love the _Biographia_. Perhaps so. But it is also true that one who becomes fond of bitter tastes never calls them sweet. I regularly distinguish between the intricacy that derives from the sophistication of Coleridge's thinking, and the obscurity that derives from the manner of his composing. Yet both his errors and his intricacies reflect consistent habits: comprehending the design as the work of both a genius and an exhausted, troubled man can render more easily accessible what is permanently valuable in _Biographia Literaria_.\n\nThis book is intended for three general kinds of readers. First, of course, sworn 'Coleridgeans'. For them, the crucial issue will be my argument about how Coleridge composed \u2014 an argument tested against the _Biographia_ because it is so central among his works. Secondly, those interested in the _Biographia_ only in parts. _Biographia Literaria_ is, alas, usually read only in parts except by the most determined; and so I allowed a certain pragmatism to prevail in my own design. This book is written so that one can discover how the 'interesting' parts fit into the whole structurally, conceptually, and rhetorically. Biographers, philosophers, Wordsworthians, literary theorists or historians, and students of poetry can each select the chapters that pertain to the parts of the _Biographia_ that matter to them. My third set are those whom Coleridge himself addressed \u2014 not literary professionals of any ilk, but that wider group of people who care about literature, who value its contributions to human culture, who seek reasonable principles of critical judgment. Accommodating the needs of these readers has at times required that I verge upon an old but useful format, the so-called 'commentary'. Coleridgeans will recognize, I trust, a certain familiar irony in this: just a few comments, if the right comments, can illuminate much.\n\nAfter my manuscript had been sent to Allen & Unwin, Cambridge University Press published Kathleen Wheeler's _Sources, Processes and Methods in Coleridge's 'Biographia Literaria'_. In a few places I have noted major points of disagreement, but these comments are necessarily limited in scope. Our agreements, however, are many. We both argue, in her words, that 'The reader of the _Biographia_ must at all times be aware that his intellectual activity is a primary subject of the text' (p. 107). The complementarity of our works may be more than coincidental: at slightly different times, and unknown to each other, we both studied with John Wright at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Mr Wright directed my dissertation, which underlies the present study; I am delighted to acknowledge how much I owe to the rigor and detail of his criticisms at that stage. More recently, this study or parts of it were evaluated by Don H. Bialostosky, Charles O. Hartman, J. R. de J. Jackson, Lawrence Lipking, and Philip C. Rule, SJ. To each I am grateful for good advice. Errors and infelicities that remain are my responsibility. Both early and late, my work with Coleridge has been shared by Warren H. Wallace, MD, to whom my debts and my gratitude are deepest of all.\n\n# **Abbreviations**\n\n_AP_ | _Anima Poetae_ , ed.

Growing numbers of scholars have demonstrated the depth and subtlety of Coleridge's thought. His originality has been re-evaluated; his reputation has grown. _Biographia Literaria_ deserves a new look as well. Like Coleridge himself, it is not a rambling, foggy, inconsistent traveler toward isolated, cryptic insights. It is a formal and rhetorical whole designed to engage the reader not simply as a philosopher-critic, but as a person, as a union of intellectual, emotional and moral powers. Its design reveals a coherent and genuinely imaginative vision of the necessary character of modern discourse.\n\nYet it is a difficult book. At first glance, there is ample evidence that _Biographia Literaria_ is a fragmented disaster whose difficulties can neither be resolved nor understood: the 'missing' transcendental construction in chapter XIII; the incorporations from Schelling; its origin as a preface to _Sibylline Leaves_. Such evidence appears to justify Carlyle's malefic description:\n\n... instead of answering [a question], or decidedly setting out towards an answer of it, he would accumulate formidable apparatus, logical swim-bladders, transcendental life-preservers and other precautionary and vehiculatory gear, for setting out; perhaps did at last get under way, \u2013 but was swiftly solicited, and turned aside by the glance of some radiant new game on this hand or that, into new courses; and ever into new; and before long into all the Universe.\n\n'Solicited' is the central word here: seduced, enticed, led astray. The Victorians said Coleridge lacked 'will power'; the moderns that he was hopelessly 'neurotic'. Yet the principle remains the same: the formal disorder of the works reflects the personal disorder of the man.\n\nBut the evidence for _Biographia Literaria'_ s formal disorder shrivels abruptly if examined in strong light. The infamous chapter XIII, for example, culminates an extensive pattern of reference to the intellectual powers of Englishmen; it is an elaborately planned appeal to the philosophic reader. Philosophic readers have been appropriately disappointed: the strategy succeeds at least in part. But such readers err in judging this chapter a neurotic break, or a failure of nerve, or a change in plan literally unexpected by its author. There is substantial evidence to the contrary. In a parallel way, the _Biographia_ 's origin as a preface reflects no reprehensible spontaneity on Coleridge's part: one finds plans for the _Biographia_ in letters and notebook entries dating back at least to the autumn of 1803. The plagiarisms from Schelling have been evaluated in general by Thomas McFarland, and in painstaking detail by Elinor Stoneman Shaffer, both of whom conclude that the literal appearance of plagiarism is misleading. In the light of recent scholarship, this traditionally _prima facie_ evidence loses its impressive appearance.\n\nBut the reputation of _Biographia Literaria_ has also rested on the experience of many attentive and informed readers. For a text so often described as unreadable, it has been read more often and valued more highly than quite makes sense. The paradox is revealing: there is no frustration quite the equal of intuiting a coherence that refuses to emerge into the full daylight of objectifying comprehension. There are, in fact, many brief descriptions of the _Biographia_ 's general thematic unity. Shawcross is exemplary. He attributes 'the miscellaneous character of the book' to the poor state of Coleridge's 'health and spirits', but goes on to say:\n\nIt is with this end in view ['the desire... to state clearly, and defend adequately, his own poetic creed'] that, in the autobiographical portion of the book, he describes the growth of his own literary convictions; that, in the philosophical, he seeks to refer them to first principles; and that, in the criticism of Wordsworth's poetry and poetic theory, he emphasizes the differences which, as he imagines, exist between Wordsworth and himself. ( _BL_ , I, xcii)\n\nColeridge's complaint seems to the point:\n\nNow surely a [work] the contents and purposes of which are capable of being faithfully and compleatly ennumerated in a sentence of 7 or 8 lines, and where all the points treated of tend to a common result, cannot justly be regarded as a motley Patch-work, or a Farrago of heterogenous Effusions! ( _LS_ , 114 n)\n\nThis general thematic unity is seldom denied. Yet it is one thing for an attentive reader to perceive the relations among the topics Coleridge discusses; it is something altogether different to perceive that Coleridge so manages his discourse as to define exactly how 'all points treated of tend to a common result'. A sympathetic reader can link the parts to a postulated common result, but this does not prove that _Biographia Literaria_ , as a discourse, generally succeeds in establishing these relations through various formal and rhetorical strategies. Such strategies comprise what I call 'design': the blueprint of the whole, regarded both as a governing structure, and as the intent or governing idea implicit in and enacted by this structure.\n\nThe generations of scholars and critics succeeding Shawcross have explicated Coleridge's literary convictions' and his 'first principles' to reveal a thinker known to very few in 1907: a Coleridge who is erudite, philosophically acute, and humanly profound. As we have more and more fully seen how his intricacy of mind engages complex human questions, it becomes less possible to believe that so great a thinker could have been so fundamentally incompetent a writer. Common sense questions whether such extraordinary powers of concentration and synthesis could have been so entirely suspended when he sat down to compose. He himself often insisted that genius and command of language vary together. His books are not perfectly written \u2013 whose are? \u2013 but their difficulty resides primarily in the complexity of his ideas, and in the complexity of design these ideas require for their intelligible presentation. Coleridge knew he would be charged with obscurity; he often tried both to defend himself, and to preclude the charge through elaborate explanations of his principles in writing. Understanding these principles alleviates much of the confusion and frustration that so many readers experience.\n\nColeridge's desire to make his readers think, to make them engage genuine ideas, underlies the design _of Biographia Literaria_. It also accounts in part for the book's reputation as excessively difficult reading. In what he regarded as 'the finest passage in the _Friend_ ', Coleridge acknowledges the problems he creates for his readers.\n\nAlas! legitimate reasoning is impossible without severe thinking, and thinking is neither an easy nor an amusing employment. The reader, who would follow a close reasoner to the summit and absolute principle of any one important subject, has chosen a Chamois-hunter for his guide. Our guide [Coleridge himself, as The Friend] will, indeed, take us the shortest way, will save us many a wearisome and perilous wandering, and warn us of many a mock road that had formerly led himself to the brink of chasms and precipices, or at best in an idle circle to the spot from whence he started. But he cannot carry us on his shoulders: we must strain our own sinews, as he has strained his; and make firm footing on the smooth rock for ourselves, by the blood of toil from our own feet. ( _F_ , I, 55, and n. 2)\n\nFeet that are sticky with blood \u2013 it is a lurid image, but all too often it has struck me as entirely apt. Owen Barfield grants that the relation between subject and object is no doubt the _pons asinorum_ of Coleridge's philosophic endeavor, but then argues that 'the concept, and perhaps the _experience_ , of thinking as an _act_ , or as an \"act and energy,\" are the toll-gate in the middle of the bridge, the barrier that has to be opened before we can get across'. Barfield demonstrates how thoroughly this central concept influences all of Coleridge's thought; my major concern is the way in which it shapes his composition.\n\nColeridge's compositions are designed to make the reader engage a particular problem or issue in ways that will lead him to the conclusions that Coleridge has already reached. He wants to make us think things through for ourselves, under his tutelage. To the extent that his particular interests are all versions of a predominant interest in thinking itself, one can say that he writes in ways designed to help us think about thinking. That is no small ambition. Further challenges to the reader emerge from the fact that Coleridge seldom accommodates to lesser energies or lesser talents than his own. He may lead us away from precipices, but he does not hesitate to lead us up rough and steep paths if these take us where he wants to go.\n\nSome of the reader's troubles derive from Coleridge's lack of skill in the fine art of enticing tired minds to further and further effort. But often the reader stumbles because the way is genuinely and irreducibly difficult. As Sara Coleridge notes, the original thinker cannot rely on 'known ways and smooth well-beaten tracks': he forces his readers into unaccustomed mental exercise. Both contemporary and modern readers have echoed this image of a difficult path to describe the effort Coleridge's discourse requires. The image is particularly apt: as Coleridge often observed, the Greek word we translate as 'method' translates literally as 'way' or 'path' or 'mode of transit'. The 'Essays on Method' in _The Friend_ claim that valid method demands powerful imagination. So does reading the _Biographia_. As Bishop C. Hunt, Jr, observes, 'what we might call the \"dramatic\" element in philosophy, the process of search and its written reenactment, assumes a larger significance. Much of Coleridge's best writing can be read as a kind of dramatic monologue in prose, a mimetic representation of the mind in the act of thinking something through.' Thinking along with Coleridge as he thinks something through demands more than energy or learning. It requires that we read his prose with the same use of the same skills we engage when we read his poetry.\n\nWhen Coleridge asserts that he wants his readers to _think_ , he means that we must develop and exercise the ability to observe our own minds. We must acquire the self-consciousness that is secondary imagination's most basic act. His clearest statement of this requirement is the distinction between _thinking_ and _attending_ in _Aids to Reflection_ :\n\nIt is a matter of great difficulty, and requires no ordinary skill and address, to fix the attention of men on the world within them, to induce them to study the processes and superintend the works which they are themselves carrying on in their own minds; in short, to awaken in them both the faculty of thought* and the inclination to exercise it. For alas! the largest part of mankind are nowhere greater strangers than at home.\n\nHe who would explicate creativity itself requires a thinking audience no less than he who would explicate 'moral or religious truth'. Whether the critic's 'inward experiences' be those of reading or of writing, his reader needs the imaginative power of self-consciousness as a prior condition to understanding imagination itself in rigorous theoretical terms. The primary facts essential to the intelligibility of my principles I can prove to others only as far as I can prevail on them to retire _into themselves_ and make their own minds the objects of their stedfast attention' ( _F_ , I, 21).\n\nAlone and unbalanced, this requirement provides nothing less than a license for solipcism. But, despite what has been asserted in his name, Coleridge was no advocate of an 'autonomous' imagination. His many explanations of the relation between ideas (the content or object of thinking) and experience reveal how his method excludes the irresponsible and the eccentric. Ideas and laws are correlative terms, strictly defined. An idea is a subjectively originating set of relations exactly echoed by relations observable in experience. An idea whose counterpart is a law of the natural world can be 'objectively' or physically demonstrated. One who understands will be compelled to assent. An idea whose counterpart is a law of the mind cannot be physically demonstrated, because it has a psychic not physical referent. Furthermore, assent cannot be logically compelled because the spirit itself is essentially free: it cannot be coerced into generating the confirming mental experience. None the less, 'At the annunciation of _principles_ , of _ideas_ , the soul of man awakes, and starts up, as an exile in a far distant land at the unexpected sounds of his native language, when after long years of absence, and almost of oblivion, he is suddenly addressed in his own mother-tongue' ( _LS_ , 24). The imaginative person intuitively and immediately grasps the truth of a valid idea.\n\nExperience confirms \u2013 although it cannot demonstrate \u2013 the validity of ideas about non-physical realities. For instance, experience illustrates but does not prove the existence of God:\n\nAssume the existence of God, \u2013 and then the harmony and fitness of the physical creation may be shown to correspond with and support such an assumption; \u2013 but to set about _proving_ the existence of a God by such means is a mere circle, a delusion. It can be no proof to a good reasoner.... ( _TT_ , 22 February 1834)\n\nHistorians face the same situation as theologians:\n\nIf you ask me how I can know that this idea \u2013 my own invention \u2013 is the truth, by which the phenomena of history are to be explained, I answer, in the same way exactly that you know that your eyes were made to see with; and that is, because you _do_ see with them... this idea, not only like a kaleidoscope, shall reduce all the miscellaneous fragments into order, but shall also minister strength, and knowledge, and light... . ( _TT_ , 14 April 1833)\n\nAs _Biographia Literaria_ explains in detail, the same is true of literary critics. They must illustrate their ideas by particular reference to texts, while yet remembering that criticism is not an empirical science.\n\nColeridge's intent to make his readers think, to make them engage ideas, accounts for the oft-lamented 'digressive' texture of his works, especially the _Biographia_. In _The Friend_ , he cites Plato approvingly: '\"It is difficult, excellent friend! to make any comprehensive truth compleatly intelligible, unless we avail ourselves of an example. Otherwise we may as in a dream, seem to know all, and then as it were, awakening find that we know nothing\"' ( _F_ , I, 148). His 'examples' seem digressive in part because they are lengthy, and in part because he obviously enjoys them for their own sake; but primarily they seem so because they form no part of an induction. They relate not to each other, but to the ideas they illustrate. They are not particulars from which he generalizes and concludes according to the logical principles governing the use of evidence. The rational and imaginative reader who tries (consciously or unconsciously) to synthesize the anecdotes into a proper induction will be driven to distraction.\n\nThis lack of 'system' creates hazards for the unwary, but it is easy enough to discern Coleridge's motives. According to Coleridge, strictly objective observation, abstraction and generalization are a waste of time, because the number of potentially relevant particulars is nearly infinite. Without a prior idea or, as Jackson so aptly paraphrases, a good _hunch_ , 'the life of an ante-diluvian patriarch would be expended... in merely polling the votes, and long before he could [have] commence[d] the process of simplification, or have arrived in sight of the law' ( _F_ , I, 485). Hence, tor one who possesses an idea, the role of particulars in a discourse can be largely rhetorical. And yet for Coleridge this role is not rhetorical in the degraded sense. Because empirical confirmation stands prominently among the tests for a valid idea, Coleridge's particulars are 'illuminations' somewhat as Blake uses that word. They comprise one of the major strategies whereby he tries to prevail upon and help his readers to 'retire into themselves'. As a consequence, one who reads the _Biographia_ ignoring its 'digressions' wastes his time no less surely than the empirical patriarch: these illuminations are crucial to the full intelligibility of Coleridge's principles.\n\nTo the problems inherent in the strategy one must add the fact that, as Coleridge himself admitted, he tended to offer too many of these illuminations. '[M]y illustrations swallow up my thesis \u2013 I feel too intensely the omnipresence of all in each, platonically speaking...' ( _CN_ , II, 2372). As De Quincey so shrewdly observed, that excess can confuse Coleridge's audience, and obscure the idea he is trying to illuminate:\n\nColeridge, to many people, and often I have heard the complaint, seemed to wander; and he seemed then to wander the most, when, in fact, his resistance to the wandering instinct was greatest \u2013 viz., when the compass and huge circuit by which his illustrations moved travelled farthest into remote regions before they began to revolve. Long before this coming round had commenced most people had lost him, and naturally enough supposed that he had lost himself.... However, I can assert, upon my long and intimate knowledge of Coleridge's mind, that logic the most severe was as inalienable from his modes of thinking as grammar from his language.\n\nIn the most practical of ways, then, the 'digressive' texture coherently reflects Coleridge's desire to help his readers think about ideas. Even for the most astute reader, the strategy probably fails at times, partly because it so easily breaks down into the excessive indirectness characteristic of Coleridge, and partly because any reader habituated to sustained abstract argument may be annoyed or unduly distracted by the change of pace. But it will fail less often for a reader who understands in advance what Coleridge is doing, and why.\n\nAn example of my own will illustrate the character of Coleridge's illuminations. Shawcross dismisses most of chapter II: 'the irritability of men of genius' is 'a quite irrelevant topic' ( _BL_ , I, 212). Irrelevant to what? To poetic diction? To autobiography? One who accepts Shawcross's judgment ignores Coleridge's first major account of the psychological consequences of imagination. The 'irritability' issue forges the major link between the controversy over _Lyrical Ballads_ and the theory of imagination. Without a firm grasp of this link \u2013 and the principal metaphors that subsequently call it into play \u2013 one is apt to miss nearly half of what the _Biographia_ says about imagination. Shawcross's error is provoked by the conclusion of chapter I: a profusion of anecdotes superficially concerned with Coleridge's delight in literary parody. Yet, on a closer look, the 'Higgenbottom' sonnets illustrate that the simple style he advocates can easily descend into the trivial. This story, and the related stories centered around The Ancient Mariner', reveal Coleridge as a man blessed with a good-humored, common-sense balance both in his theories and in his personality. Chapter II focusses sharply on this question of balance in personality and in literary style as evident in great poets and anonymous critics; it smoothly and coherently develops the argument about diction introduced in the preceding chapter by tracing qualities of diction to an origin in qualities of mind. The discontinuity that misled Shawcross resides only in the illustrations Coleridge uses: the first chapter draws primarily on memories of his youth and early manhood; the second on his knowledge of literary history and his encounters with contemporary criticism.\n\nColeridge's desire to make his readers think explains more than the book's superficially digressive texture. It explains the principal feature of the design: its fusion of personal history and philosophic argument. To understand this design, one must first recognize that the _Biographia_ 's autobiography is art \u2013 not chronicle. One must distinguish between Coleridge the author and 'Coleridge' the created narrator, the hero of a story that has a coherent development and formal unity that only art can impose upon a real life. Coleridge the author adapts his own history to perfect it as the vehicle for a philosophic inquiry into the distinction between fancy and imagination. The diversity of his own experience supplies the illustrations that progressively reveal the idea of imagination: the stages of the reader's intuition of this idea correspond to the stages of 'Coleridge's' intellectual life. As George Watson observes, _Biographia Literaria_ follows 'a plan neither narrative nor logical but a disconcerting combination of the two'.\n\nSara and H. N. Coleridge, and J. Shawcross, have pointed out the differences between this created self and the real man; but the necessarily delicate analysis of these differences should be done only by a psychologically astute biographer. For present purposes what matters most is that Coleridge turns the primary autobiographical act of self-creation into a vehicle for philosophic and literary discourse. This central feature of the _Biographia_ 's design in part reflects his commitment to the ideal unity of poetry and philosophy. But in part it also solves major practical problems. The philosophic analysis is not complete, yet it presents itself as capable of formal closure. The strictly literary unity of the autobiography seeks to bridge this gap by eliciting the reader's confidence that closure can be attained. The autobiographical narrative, in turn, is often and severely interrupted by abstract logical arguments. But the created self is a metaphysician from boyhood; he incorporates these arguments \u2013 not without strain, at times \u2013 as accounts of his scholarly endeavors.\n\nThe synthesis of autobiography and philosophy serves another, more crucial purpose as well. It helps Coleridge convince his readers of something he cannot prove logically: that the theory of imagination does not lead to pantheism. The created self is deeply religious and repeatedly concerned with the moral consequences of materialist philosophies. We may judge that his theory is wrong, or formulated badly; but we cannot doubt that it is orthodox in intent. For this person, the pursuit of philosophic questions and the discovery of identity have been a single process. For us, the development of a philosophic inquiry and the growth of the critic's mind are a single story. Although for practical reasons it is sometimes convenient to distinguish the text as autobiography from the text as philosophic discourse, ultimately these two aspects are inseparable. They are polar opposites informing the _Biographia_ 's design; their unifying or originating power is Coleridge's idea of imagination.\n\nEarly in chapter IX, one dense footnote focusses many scattered hints that the design of _Biographia Literaria_ is a conscious innovation on the received form of philosophic writing:\n\n... [the word] _discourse_ [as used in _Paradise Lost_ ]... does not mean what we _now_ call discoursing; but the _discursion_ of the _mind_ , the processes of generalization and subsumption, of deduction and conclusion. Thus, Philosophy has _hitherto_ been DISCURSIVE; while Geometry is _always_ and _essentially_ INTUITIVE. ( _BL_ , I, 109 n)\n\nColeridge saw himself as devising a philosophic work that would be intuitive at least in part, because it is impossible to define 'imagination' by discursive methods alone. Geometry is always intuitive, in Coleridge's terms, because the geometer seeks to communicate an idea that finds perfect echo in nature's laws ( _PhL_ , 107\u20138). That is, both the idea of a triangle and a triangle drawn in sand will have angles whose sum is one hundred eighty degrees. The triangle in sand is not the law, but the symbol of the idea (whose corresponding law is mathematical). Geometry is unique among fields of inquiry because mathematical statements fully describe both the idea in the mind and the law in nature. In other fields, the discursively formulated law is not so perfect. 'An Idea, in the _highest_ sense of that word, cannot be conveyed but by a _symbol_ ; and, except in geometry, all symbols of necessity involve an apparent contradiction' ( _BL_ , I, 100). Except in geometry, symbols can be explicated discursively only as contradictions in terms: the idea can be conveyed symbolically (through some equivalent of the triangle in sand), but the symbol itself is paradoxical. That is why 'a great idea can be taught gradually, that is by considering it as a germ which cannot appear at any one moment in all of its force' ( _PhL_ , 173). In most fields, the 'great idea' _must_ be taught gradually if it is to emerge from a discursive text.\n\nExcept in geometry, then, symbols communicate ideas more adequately than discursive logical formulations, because a symbol holds together the contradictions that logic can only break apart. A symbol, Coleridge explains, 'is characterized by a translucence of the Eternal through and in the Temporal. It always partakes of the Reality which it renders intelligible; and while it annunciates the whole, abides itself as a living part in that Unity, of which it is the representative' ( _LS_ , 30). The symbolic relation between Eternal and Temporal, or between God and Man, cannot be defined through logic; and every symbol participates in this relation.\n\nMcFarland's work suggests that the systematic understanding, once fully engaged by extended, close, logical analysis, will always object to a discourse that tries to present a symbolic resolution to logically defined problems. Yet, as he also shows, no closed logical system could accommodate Coleridge's complex view of human reality. I suggest that Coleridge himself knew this full well: the understanding cannot fully grasp the symbolic reality known through reason. A closed logical system excludes the divine:\n\nThe inevitable result of all consequent Reasoning, in which the intellect refuses to acknowledge a higher or deeper ground than it can itself supply, and weens to possess within itself the center of its own System, is \u2013 and from Zeno the Eleatic to Spinoza and from Spinoza to the Schellings, Okens, and their adherents, of the present day, ever has been \u2013 Pantheism under one or other of its modes, the least repulsive of which differs from the rest, not in its _consequences_ , which are one and the same in all, and in all alike are practically atheistic, but only as it may express the striving of the philosopher himself to hide these consequences from his own mind. ( _F_ , I, 523 n)\n\nWhen he claimed that he would one day render his system acceptable to the understanding, he probably intended to fuse a Kantean demonstration of understanding's inadequacies with an essentially imaginative and symbolic portrait of the realities known directly only by reason. Such a discourse would not be a closed logical system, but a work of art \u2013 some variation, perhaps, on 'the first genuine philosophic poem' that he wanted Wordsworth to write. It would not have persuaded the understanding _per se_ but, rather, it would have kept the understanding within its proper limits. Assent would not have been a conclusion by the powers of analytical intellect alone, but a moral and imaginative act of all our powers in concert.\n\nIn _Biographia Literaria_ , 'imagination' is the title of an idea whose symbolic forms include poetry (see also _LS_ , 29). If we are to grasp this idea, so as to assent or to refuse assent, then the _Biographia_ cannot limit itself to 'deduction and conclusion'. These cannot render its idea fully accessible to the inquiring reader. These cannot bring the reader to what J. Robert Barth, SJ, calls a symbolic 'encounter' with the idea of imagination \u2013 not the theory, but the idea that the theory can only describe paradoxically. And thus the created self who is not a pantheist, whose history is not quite Coleridge's own, cannot be regarded as merely a device. Like all good metaphors, the created self is neither a lie nor an ornament. It is Coleridge's response to Hume's demonstration that closed logical systems cannot adequately describe the character of the mind, or the nature of reality. Any orderly explanation \u2013 any human act creating order \u2013 is grounded in an act of faith. This is not directly nor necessarily a faith in God but, rather, a faith in the possibility of order and knowledge that for many individuals has culminated in religious experience. The modern philosopher, by whatever particular title he or she is known, must offer more than just the logical proofs we have come to distrust as partial at best. The philosopher must also evoke our faith in the order he has discovered. He or she must appeal not only to logic, but also to imagination, to our intuitive (rather than sensory) relation to the world around and within us. If something in our souls does not 'awake and start up', we distrust the theory even before we have detected its error.\n\nColeridge responds to Hume's challenge by creating 'Coleridge' as a gradually emerging symbol of the fusion of actual human experience and rigorous philosophic inquiry: questioner and question are subjective and objective poles of the unity that is the examined life. As Barth explains, 'the making or perceiving of a symbol is for Coleridge a kind of act of faith. It is meant to evoke a response of the whole person, in faith, hope, and love. It is a commitment of self to someone other than one's self.' 'Coleridge's' history is designed to elicit our faith in the idea 'imagination' even before rigorous proof has been established. We are first to trust the man, and then his theory. The coherence of the man's life and the validity of the theory are two forms or manifestations of a single integrity. As Richard Mallette argues, 'the narrator's personality... steps forth at every junction to shape and mould our experience.... The total effect... lends to the _Biographia_ an imaginative unity that would otherwise be lost in a work that attempts to survey the horizonless landscapes of literary theory, practical criticism, philosophical disquisition, and personal autobiography.'\n\nBut put questions of consent aside for now: the theory remains inaccessible until one understands this character 'Coleridge'. The _Biographia_ 's speaker is in part an ironic self-parody by a man who knew himself all too well. The speaker is garrulous, he is eclectic and distractable, he is learned in the 'obscure' and the 'useless'. His manner of telling reflects these qualities: his story turns freely, abruptly, from one thing to another. Only after several readings does one perceive the inexorable, orderly momentum of the whole: the impromptu is rarely random. The speaker's freely associational leaps are exquisitely calculated to insist, over and over again, that the thinker finds unity within apparent diversity. Minor issues reflect major questions because all significant problems are ultimately interrelated. Gradually one discovers the central concerns that unite and direct these associational shifts.\n\nWith that recognition comes another: Coleridge is an exceptionally witty, playful writer. As he develops the contrast between his speaker and anonymous critics, he transvalues the elements of his self-parody: the speaker is eclectic and antiquated only to those enamored of a facile, inconsistent, popularized Lockeanism. His diffident double negatives point emphasis to issues too profound for this degraded group to recognize. His unexpected leaps land him always in the heart of the matter. One who reflects carefully on the abrupt shifts will always find his way to basic questions about fancy and imagination. The strategy is at once arrogant and entertaining: it is an intriguing style occasionally carried too far. Even the best reader may be occasionally confused, not by the subtlety of the relations _per se_ , but by the unpredictability that the strategy generates. As Jackson explains, 'the reader is not permitted to know where he is being taken, or why he is being taken there; by obscuring the end in view, the intricacies of the way are allowed to become confusing and even irritating'. I suspect that Coleridge's judgment may have been overwhelmed at times by the potent combination of his anger at anonymous criticism, and his delight with parody. And perhaps, as in any autobiography, fiction merges with fact: both the author and the speaker are 'responsible' for the reader's periodic bewilderment.\n\nAlthough this 'speaker' clearly lacks the full artifice of Browning's speakers, he is far more deliberately a construct than the speakers of most autobiographies. Coleridge's created image may quite aptly resemble himself, but 'he' also serves such definite ends so well that analysis requires some means of distinguishing creator from creation. Coleridge's celebrated introspective powers should lead us to expect such delicate complexity in his intellectual autobiography. Richard Haven suggests that Coleridge was 'a born psychologist trying to write as a metaphysician', that 'Coleridge's philosophy should be seen not as an unsuccessful attempt at a logical analytical system, but, like his poetry, as a projection, an \"elaborated transformed symbol\", of his own psychological experience'. Much recent scholarship has stressed Coleridge's extraordinary fidelity to his own moral and intellectual experience, fidelity sustained despite the enormous difficulty of reconciling the diverse elements into an intelligible whole. Autobiography is the natural vehicle for such a mind, because it allows him to present experiences that illuminate major speculative insights, but it does not require formal logical unity. The autobiography of a richly imagined 'self' can make arguments Coleridge wants to make, and yet bear up under the strain of the gaps that emerge when these arguments are separated from their autobiographical enactment.\n\nAlthough Coleridge's later works are generally clearer, and more skillfully persuasive, _Biographia Literaria_ remains the central text for the study of Coleridge's prose. As James Olney explains in _Metaphors of Self: The Meaning of Autobiography:_\n\n... a man's lifework is his fullest autobiography [.]... When, moreover, a man writes, in addition to his other works, something that is confessedly autobiographical... then we may expect to be able to trace therein that creative impulse that was uniquely his: it will be unavoidably there in manner and style and, since autobiography is precisely an attempt to describe a lifework, in matter and content as well. A man's autobiography is thus like a magnifying lens, focusing and intensifying that same peculiar creative vitality that informs all the volumes of his collected works; it is the symptomatic key to all else that he did and, naturally, to all that he was.\n\nColeridge achieves what Olney describes even more fully than conventional autobiographers: his intellectual autobiography portrays not the _man_ , but the man _thinking_. In _Biographia Literaria_ one meets face to face the thinker whose methods inform all the other works: he who believes his intuitions and then seeks confirmations; he who attributes to others his own ideas, and uses others' texts without attribution; he whose penetrating syntheses revise the habitual patterns of understanding. Both Coleridge's vitality and his peculiarity are most evident in _Biographia Literaria_ : one who grasps the design of this most rewarding, most frustrating text will more easily follow Coleridge's track anywhere else.\n\nColeridge's desire to make his readers think about genuine ideas underlies the _Biographia_ 's digressive texture; his fusion of autobiography and philosophy creates the necessary supply of anecdotal illuminations. These features of the design are a coherent, intelligible response to problems arising from the unity of ideas and laws. But this does not explain \u2013 nor explain away \u2013 all the difficulties impeding the _Biographia_ 's readers. The design is also characterized by peculiar or inadequate transitions for which there is often no defense. Prudent authors of difficult arguments take particular care with transitions. Their transitions integrate parts, subordinate parts to whole, and repeatedly orient the reader within sequences of patterns large and small. Such transitions separate form from content by commenting on the form as such; this helps the reader to monitor his comprehension of major structures. Coleridge's argument is exceedingly difficult, but his transitions are hardly prudent. Often they are cryptic, just a sentence or two catapulting us into strange new terrain. More often, they seem to establish only a whimsical, undisciplined, associational flow. The speaker seems to ramble unbearably, just as Carlyle described.\n\nIn part, I grant, Coleridge's transitions are terrible. They suggest an incredible insensitivity to audience. Perhaps he so quickly penetrated to fundamental issues in his own reading that he failed to perceive the needs of blunter minds. A person as well read and as astute as Coleridge himself might have little trouble recognizing the unifying issues, but the rest of us are too apt to discover the central points only by wandering in circles. In other works, Coleridge seems to realize the useful (albeit mechanical) function of the conventional transition: major divisions commonly begin by commenting on the form as such. These transitions are often clumsy and intrusive because the underlying duality of form precludes tidy logical summary. But they help, if only in assuring the reader that the author is executing a deliberate plan. This is no small matter: without confidence in the ultimate coherence of the whole, one would not expend the effort Coleridge's prose requires.\n\nYet the famous Coleridgean carelessness does not explain everything. It is also clear that the autobiographical fiction of _Biographia Literaria_ makes it difficult for Coleridge to write transitions that maintain our sense of order, unity, and progression. Had Coleridge continually specified the relations between philosophic and autobiographical movements, and between the parts of these and the definition of imagination, then the autobiographical fiction would have become palpably fake. No real life is so direct, so fortuitously ordered. Coleridge's solution is to orient the reader primarily to the life and times of 'Coleridge' rather than to the evolving definition of imagination: as he explains, 'I have used the narration chiefly for the purpose of giving a continuity to the work' ( _BL_ , I, 1). But this solution has its awkward moments: in the opening lines of chapters IX and XIV, for instance, the abrupt return to autobiography may disorient even the most careful reader.\n\nHis fusion of narration and philosophy also creates problems. The definition of imagination does not unfold in a direct, clear, logical fashion, so the reader's progress and his locale within this definition cannot be sketched briefly. Furthermore, Coleridge cannot easily separate form and content by commenting on the form as such: his dual design _enacts_ its principal idea to a far greater extent than one commonly finds. The form is to make us think; the content is to tell us what thinking is \u2013 which is to say, to render us conscious of what we are doing as we ponder the issues _Biographia Literaria_ raises. Kathleen Wheeler explores this self-reflexivity by analyzing passages that refer both to the theory of imagination and to the experience of reading the text itself. She argues that German Romanticism provides both a motive and a rationale for such writing. So does the tradition of spiritual autobiography. For these passages to function as they must, the work as a whole must systematically lead the reader to reflect on them both objectively, for what they say, and subjectively, for why or how they emerge at particular places. The work does so, I contend, by engaging our sympathies with both the madcap adventures and the scholarly endeavors of its most colorful speaker. Transitions cannot locate the reader within this process, because there is little reason to assume that all readers of the same chapter are at the same 'point' in understanding the idea of imagination. Like the youthful speaker himself, the new reader may not fully appreciate the implications of certain experiences or discoveries. When Coleridge's transitions fail, it is often because he presumes that more is understood at a given point than an actual reader is likely to understand, even after several attentive readings. And many subtle but quite adequate transitions will fail, of course, for the reader who assumes that there can be no unity within the diversity of _Biographia Literaria_.\n\nAlthough Coleridge's design impedes conventional transitions, it encourages \u2013 and perhaps requires \u2013 the unity that metaphors can provide. The cinque-spotted water-insect for instance, belongs to an elaborate pattern of imagistic reference to imaginative synthesis. Light and water recurrently signal the rhetorical power of imaginative works. These metaphors, and others, both signal and generate the complex unity of _Biographia Literaria_ 's many discrete issues. They establish its character as an essentially imaginative \u2013 not logical \u2013 discourse because they simultaneously develop the speaker and elucidate his ideas. Some have condemned Coleridge's densely imagistic passages as pious or poetic excrescences in what ought to be sober philosophy. But to ignore these lines is to mutilate the text, and its ideas.\n\nHow does one read a text of such complexity? What methods are adequate? Arthur Symons makes the basic point: 'one who is ceaselessly attentive will be ceaselessly rewarded'. But even reasonably ceaseless attention reaches a point of diminishing return: by creating a form nearly as difficult as his ideas, Coleridge risks losing our interest in either. But recognizing the _Biographia_ 's duality, recognizing its mediation between philosophy and narrative, enormously simplifies the reader's task. From the character of the design it follows that each chapter _must_ be read both as a stage in the speaker's intellectual development, and as a stage in the effort 'to effect... a settlement of the long continued controversy concerning the true nature of poetic diction; and... to define... the real _poetic_ character of the poet, by whose writings this controversy was first kindled' by demonstrating that fancy and imagination are 'two distinct and widely different faculties' ( _BL_ , I, 1\u20132, 60). Only if each part is read in both ways will all the relations among parts become evident. Without such bifocal vision, the whole remains fragmentary and, at times, rudely incoherent. In the chapters that follow, I will often distinguish between the two aspects both to demonstrate this method, and to reveal how the two strands of development are sustained and interwoven. But distinction is not separation: philosophic and autobiographical aspects provide objective and subjective accounts of a single idea that cannot be fully defined from either perspective alone.\n\nYes, _Biographia Literaria_ is difficult \u2013 but it is not impossible. Its real flaws do not amount to so much when one considers the clarity, the acuity, and the grace that are generally evident. The reader's greatest burden is imposed not by these flaws, but by the complexity of Coleridge's thought. Coleridge wants his readers to think, and so he writes in ways designed to encourage and to require that effort.\n\n### Notes\n\n*Distinction between thought and attention. \u2013 By thought is here meant the voluntary reproduction in our minds of those states of consciousness, or... of those inward experiences, to which, as to his best and most authentic documents, the teacher of moral or religious truth refers us. In attention we keep the mind passive: in thought, we rouse it into activity. In the former, we submit to an impression \u2013 we keep the mind steady, in order to receive the stamp. In the latter, we seek to imitate the artist, while we ourselves make a copy or duplicate of his work. We may learn arithmetic, or the elements of geometry, by continued attention alone; but self-knowledge, or an insight into the laws and constitution of the human mind and the grounds of religion and true morality, in addition to the effort of attention requires the energy of thought.

Nay, the latter is the better policy; for it is the Nature of these Cattle to hate in an inverse ratio to the magnitude of the Difference.\n> \n> Letter to Hyman Hurwitz, 10 March 1820, _Collected Letters_ , V, 21\n\nThe first four chapters most clearly reveal how Coleridge weaves autobiography and inquiry into a single fabric. The speaker describes his youthful encounters with both genius and its anti-type, the fanatic. From his position in the autobiographer's 'present', he offers some apparently extraneous speculation about the psychological differences between geniuses and fanatics. Take these speculations seriously, examine them closely, and you find a major account of the psychological consequences of imaginative power. The speaker attributes his youthful ability to distinguish genius from fanatic not to any precocious insight into such matters, but to the rigor of his education. He repeats his teacher's principles of writing, and derives from them the literary principles that shaped his youthful taste in poetry. His explanation of these principles allows Coleridge to define complex connections between imagination and language. He further develops the relations among personality, imagination, and language by characterizing the speaker as a genius who responds in imaginative ways to the imaginative deficiencies of anonymous critics. Coleridge also maps out the _Biographia_ 's future development when he presents the youthful speaker as seeking to substantiate these relationships. And note that Coleridge does all this without extensively committing himself to any single explanation of the complex he is sketching. This enables him to discuss parts _as parts_ later on \u2013 a flexibility that proves crucial as he maneuvers past pantheism.\n\nPhilosophy and autobiography are so closely woven in these first four chapters that in most of what follows I shall be separating them: this is the least confusing way of revealing their complementarity. But, before getting into that, let us look for a moment at the _Biographia_ 's opening paragraph. It is an extensive and entirely accurate account of what is to come; it directs the reader along rational and fruitful paths through the complexity of these opening chapters. But it is paradoxically unlikely to operate in this way for the new reader, who undoubtedly needs such assistance most keenly. This first paragraph proclaims the book's intent to resolve the controversy about poetic diction, and to define 'the real _poetic_ character' of Wordsworth. To resolve the controversy about diction requires two things. First, it demands a proper theory of diction itself. Secondly, it demands an explanation of the controversy as such: an analysis of the anonymous critic's response to Wordsworth's genius. To define Wordsworth's 'real _poetic_ character' is to define his particular character: he is the first genuine philosophic poet; he is the first to combine Shakespeare's objectivity with Milton's subjectivity so as to write about both subject and object simultaneously \u2013 so as to write about perception itself. But to define Wordsworth's particularity requires first that one define the type of which he is an instance: what is 'real _poetic_ character'? For Coleridge, poetic diction and the psychology of genius are aspects of the more encompassing question, 'what is imagination?' This introductory statement of purpose orients the reader both to major issues and to principal relations among major issues, if one reads very closely. He relies on this statement \u2013 no doubt unduly \u2013 to project patterns of emphasis into the first four chapters. The statement functions so poorly in directing such emphasis, however, because it competes so awkwardly with what appears to be the major statement of purpose.\n\nIt will be found, that the least of what I have written concerns myself personally. I have used the narration chiefly for the purpose of giving a continuity to the work, in part for the sake of the miscellaneous reflections suggested to me by particular events, but still more as introductory to the statement of my principles in Politics, Religion, and Philosophy, and an application of the rules, deduced from philosophical principles, to poetry and criticism. (I, 1)\n\nThis sounds like an immethodical miscellany. Coleridge seems to set out three domains of inquiry \u2013 politics, religion and philosophy \u2013 and to note that from the philosophy will be deduced the means of settling the Wordsworth controversy. But Wordsworth is no mere _exemplum_ , no simple application of one of three inquiries: he and the controversy swirling about him are Coleridge's central illuminations of his theory of imagination. The 'statement of my principles' anticipated here can only be one high unified set \u2013 a theory of the mind's activity \u2013 that will have implications in all directions.\n\nHis 'not the least important' intentions concerning Wordsworth are an accurate but off-handed prediction that the implications most centrally explored will be those having to do with genius and poetry. To make sense of what follows, one must simply remain alert for the enunciation of principles. A substantial number of these appear promptly in chapter II, which presents itself as an exploration of the speaker's puzzling experiences as recounted in chapter I. This mode of development also gives a particular content to the first paragraph's sketch of the relation between autobiographical narration and principles.\n\nRegarded as autobiography, these four chapters define the sequence of influences from the days at Christ's Hospital until approximately 1796. (This record of influences will continue to the end of chapter IX.) These influences introduce four of Coleridge's principal working assumptions, although without as yet offering much justification for them. First, the accounts of Boyer and Bowles provide an initial statement of the criteria for good poetry. From the Reverend Bowyer (more properly, _Boyer_ ) of Christ's Hospital he learned that all good writing is precise, that poetry is the most precise form of writing, and that the logic that a poem follows is difficult because subtle, complex, and dependent upon 'fugitive causes' (I, 4\u20135). His attribution to a teacher forms part of a pattern of statements about the importance of education, a pattern evident everywhere in Coleridge's work (I, 7\u20138; I, 27 n; II, 116\u201317). The suggestion that a Boyer-like 'index expurgatorius' should be hung in courts of law uses humor to enforce a serious suggestion: imprecise thinking and writing threaten public welfare. This public dimension will later grow: the necessary features of precise language generate the truth-claims advanced on behalf of poetry, philosophic criticism, and philosophically grounded inquiry in all fields.\n\nBowles's sonnets encourage Coleridge to seek a detailed and philosophically grounded understanding of Boyer's 'more fugitive causes' of the logic and language of poems. Such philosophic grounding is necessary to refute the judgments of those whose taste has been formed by 'Mr. Pope and his followers' (I, 11\u201314). The speaker's first attempt to organize his ideas about poetry results in two aphorisms. The first reformulates Boyer's teachings: 'whatever lines can be translated into other words of the same language, without diminution of their significance, either in sense, or association, or in any worthy feeling, are so far vicious in their diction' (I, 14). The speaker consistently describes bad poetry as either translatable, or as a translation (I, 13). The broad definition of 'significance' gradually develops into a theory of language that defines the kind of precision poetry achieves. Only as that theory is delineated (in chapters XIV to XXII) do we see the necessary connection between precision and the second aphorism, 'the poem... to which we _return_ , with the greatest pleasure, possesses the genuine power, and claims the name of _essential poetry_ ' (I, 14). Coleridge later argues that such precise control over the whole domain of significance initiates in the reader an imaginative activity closely akin to the poet's own. Such activity generates a delight \u2013 the aesthetic response \u2013 that sustains repeated reading (II, 10\u201311).\n\nSecondly, Bowles's influence leads the speaker to develop a criterion for philosophy: the philosopher must maintain a proper balance between 'metaphysic depths' and 'history, and particular _facts_ '. Neither can philosophy exclude 'the love of nature, and the sense of beauty' (I, 10). The 'preposterous pursuit' to which the speaker refers is not metaphysics itself, but metaphysical inquiry that excludes both the particular and the promptings of the heart. The lines from _Paradise Lost_ that the speaker cites to describe his youthful excursion into lifeless philosophy are Milton's description of a pastime in Hell. As Satan fights his way up through Chaos, the angels remaining in Hell amuse themselves with what Milton calls 'Vain wisdom all, and false Philosophy'. Philosophy without faith, Coleridge obliquely suggests, is not just preposterous \u2013 it is demonic. The speaker later asserts that those who deny our immediate knowledge of a common physical world are but schoolmen who 'live and move in a crowd of phrases and notions from which human nature has long ago vanished' (I, 179). The faint echo of St Paul suggests that such systems are not just foolish but immoral; the sharp accusation that such a philosophy is built on the abuse of words is an equally serious charge. Bowles's sonnets (and the 'amiable family' of Mary Evans) draw the speaker back from the abyss of false philosophy. He turns to literature, and seeks a philosophically rigorous understanding of literary merit. His first attempt results in the two aphorisms we have already examined.\n\nColeridge uses this broadly inclusive definition of philosophy to distinguish between his system and pantheism. This crucial distinction rests in large measure on his claim that epistemology must begin by assuming immediate knowledge of both an independent world and a personal God; it must begin here because in his heart he finds it impossible to doubt that he possesses such knowledge. Without these two principles, or within a more conventional definition of philosophy, what Coleridge proposes in _Biographia Literaria_ is clearly pantheist.\n\nThe lines from Milton imbedded in the account of youthful philosophizing do more than support an inclusive definition of philosophy; they also define theology as one of the speaker's longstanding interests:\n\nOf providence, fore-knowledge, will, and fate,\n\nFixd fate, free will, fore-knowledge absolute,\n\nAnd found no end in wandering mazes lost.\n\n( _Paradise Lost_ , II, 559\u201361)\n\nThe speaker's inquiry into these matters proves extensive. The character of will occupies most of chapters V to IX. Foreordination is not an explicit issue, but human freedom and moral responsibility certainly are. The relation between human will and divine knowledge occupies chapter IX, parts of chapter X, and all of chapters XII and XIII. Yet this inquiry is neither demonic nor sterile, because it is animated and in part motivated by the speaker's faith not only in God, but also in a particular world immediately known.\n\nYet note that there is very little in chapter I to alert us to the density and precision of these few apparently casual statements about the speaker's youthful interest in 'metaphysic depths'. Any good reader will remember what has been said about precision, or permanent literary value, or the anger of fanatics, because these receive the conventional emphasis of repetition. But these few statements about philosophy, although theoretically part of the 'influences' pattern that ought to convey adequate emphasis, are quite apt to be forgotten. Only the experienced 'Coleridgean' will realize that Coleridge's introspective habits and his knowledge of _The Prelude_ would have made him an extraordinarily self-conscious autobiographer. Without such confidence, a self-disciplined reader is unlikely to examine these remarks as closely as they require. This instance is further complicated by the extent to which many of Coleridge's contemporaries would regard any excursion into 'metaphysic depths' as a 'preposterous pursuit'. The speaker's ironically self-critical remarks eventually accumulate into a distinction between the good or philosophic reader, and the Lockean blockhead. But at this very early stage the fine distinctions underlying the word 'preposterous' are all too apt to be missed.\n\nThe third influential figure is Southey. The praise of Southey is abundant, yet qualified. His poems are full of pathos and just reflections, but they are never described with terms signaling imagination (I, 40; cf. I, 57\u201360; II, 13\u201320). He merits attention as a moral influence on the imprudent and impulsive speaker, and as a member of the so-called Lake School. Coleridge denies that he, Southey and Wordsworth form any school but 'that of good sense confirmed by the long-established models of the best times of Greece, Rome, Italy, and England' (I, 36 n). Reviews of Southey's work demonstrate the principles of anonymous criticism (which is thus implicitly opposed to 'good sense' and the whole Western tradition). The defense of Southey proceeds side by side with a listing of these failures: mistaking poetic genre or intent; exaggerated attention to isolated flaws; the lack of principles of judgment; and vicious personal attack (I, 43\u20134; I, 47). In short, both their concrete particulars and their abstract theories are deficient: by the criteria for philosophy just proposed, such criticism is entirely fraudulent. This account of the defamation of Southey is designed to reinforce the reader's faith in the public need for such principles as the speaker learned through Boyer and Bowles. The speaker asserts that critics must 'support their decisions by reference to fixed canons of criticism, previously established _and deduced from the nature of man_ ' (I, 44, my italics). Chapters V to XVI seek to fix such canons in exactly this way. The need for this kind of foundation, here asserted, will only later be justified by the relation between imaginative power and particular features of good poems.\n\nWordsworth himself is the final influence celebrated in these chapters. Through Wordsworth and criticism of _Lyrical Ballads_ , the speaker recognizes the differences in kind between the synthetic imagination and the associative fancy. As a result, his quest for a firm foundation in 'the nature of man' takes a specific direction: to define these two terms as an aid both to the poet and to the 'philosophical critic' (I, 62). The form of this inquiry is described as complementary to Wordsworth's inquiry \u2013 a fiction later discarded because it would obviate the need for any practical discussion of poetry.\n\nBut it was Mr. Wordsworth's purpose to consider the influences of fancy and imagination as they are manifested in poetry, and from the different effects to conclude their diversity in kind; while it is my object to investigate the seminal principle, and then from the kind to deduce the degree. (I, 64)\n\nThe paradoxical form of Coleridge's intent is easily resolved. Coleridge often insisted that when the mind acts, the whole mind acts, not some single faculty. One may distinguish among the mind's characteristic activities, although one may never regard these acts as entirely independent of each other, as if they were distinct computing programs that could be separately engaged. Coleridge's distinguishing among characteristic activities _per se_ yields difference in kind, and his 'seminal principle' is an idea about the character of all mental activity. Wordsworth's distinguishing among _products_ of mental acts, however, can go no farther than differences in degree. And the clearest understanding of these differences in degree requires a prior understanding of the difference in kind, because differences in degree are relative and contingent. Coleridge sharply disagrees with Wordsworth whenever it appears that Wordsworth's relative distinctions are contingent upon a seminal principle derived from Lockean materialism.\n\nJudgments of degree dominate these early chapters, as part of the motive to the inquiry into kind. They also dominate most of the second volume, as Coleridge puts the abstract inquiry to practical use. The speaker's judgments often assert relative degrees of imaginative power. The later Wordsworth is more imaginative than the early Wordsworth; the same is true of Southey (I, 58; I, 40). Pope's translation of the _Iliad_ is pseudo-poetry, but his original compositions are the work of genius (I, 26 n). The 'faulty elder poets' are better than the 'moderns', but they are still primarily fanciful (I, 15). Only anonymous critics seem entirely to lack imaginative power. In them we see what Barfield calls degraded fancy. But this is only an appearance: they lie to make money (I, 28\u20139; II, 129).\n\nIn the fourth chapter, Coleridge defines 'true poetic genius' by describing Wordsworth (I, 56\u201360). The influences traced in these chapters, and the chronology-breaking speculations to which memory gives rise (e.g. chapter II) have inexorably led to the recognition that the imaginative qualities of genius are responsible for both the precision and the truth of genial production. The influence and the poetic genius of Wordsworth culminate and summarize the first four chapters, so as to provide a major autobiographical link between the philosophic inquiry and the practical criticism. I will deal with the figure of Wordsworth in chapter IV more fully below.\n\nThe first four chapters also define the personality of the speaker in ways designed both to establish the validity of Coleridge's ideas, and to prepare for their orderly exposition within an autobiographical context. The crediting of influences, for instance, achieves more than an initial statement of working assumptions. In its continuity through the first nine chapters, this pattern also defines the speaker as a humble man, as one quick to give others their due because 'the obligations of intellect [are] among the most sacred of the claims of gratitude' (I, 9). The very controversial acknowledgment to Schelling (I, 102\u20135) forms part of this extensive movement. Yet this humility is no simple thing. By crediting others with ideas basic to his argument, Coleridge can offer unequivocal assertions of the truth and importance of the ideas at issue without making the speaker unbearably arrogant. Ideas credited to others are often presented as if _a priori_ truths. Yet, since egotism is always inversely proportional to genius, the speaker's grateful attributions indirectly suggest that he is a genius himself. This pattern of attributions may also be a distant echo of what Geoffrey Yarlott calls Coleridge's need for 'sheet anchor' relationships to help him sustain a modicum of genuine self-confidence and its attendant productivity.\n\nWhatever its psychological resonance, the pattern also reflects Coleridge's profoundly conservative character: the genius does not proclaim revolutionary new truths, but instead rediscovers and revitalizes the wisdom of the ages (I, 60; I, 66). Such conservatism underlies Coleridge's view of history as well, a view evident in the _Biographia_ and elsewhere. By contrast, those lacking imagination are 'ingenious' and endlessly seek novelty (I, 11; I, 27\u20138; I, 27\u20138 n). The speaker's character and personality are most substantially and colorfully defined by this comparison to anonymous critics. The ongoing contrast begins with the account of the education of an anonymous critic that immediately follows the description of the speaker's education. The speaker's humility and deference are highlighted by the 'self-conceit, shallowness, arrogance, and infidelity' taught to future anonymous critics. The portrait of such reviewers and the comparison between them and the speaker often reflect eighteenth-century satires and satirical methods; Hazlitt responds brilliantly in kind. The 'anonymous critic' figure plays an important role in the exposition of the theory of imagination, but it is also a lively and utterly polemical response to the abuse Wordsworth and his circle had suffered.\n\nThe speaker's generous good humor (which also sharply distinguishes him from anonymous critics) enforces the need for philosophically grounded critical principles. At the end of the first chapter, two anecdotes (one in the text, one in a footnote) recount the speaker's parodies of his own poetic diction and his epigram critical of The Ancient Mariner'. In each instance, someone expects that he will be outraged by the anonymous verse. The first paragraph of chapter II extends the comedy into serious issues: why should we credit the ideas he (or any other critic) advocates? Why do we suppose that a poet seriously defending himself against a critic only proves himself 'irritable'? The current situation of both criticism and the arts reveals that many poets and most critics are engaged in no more than a frivolous game of politics and personalities, a game that threatens all genuine writers (see I, 27 n; I, 25\u20139; II, 87). Lacking principles 'derived from the nature of man', poets and critics alike lack the absolute standards necessary to give intellectual substance to their arguments.\n\nIn chapter X such advocacy of principles and principled argument will be cited as evidence of philosophic genius (I, 125; II, 39). This strikingly complements the speaker's serenity, objectivity, humor and lack of egotism. Coleridge portrays the speaker as a genius so as to establish both a theoretical and a rhetorical ground for the speaker's authority. The speaker himself never advances the claim: he seems 'unconscious' of the implications of what he reveals about himself. Yet the distinction between 'speaker' and Coleridge himself is very delicate at this point. I believe that Coleridge was essentially conscious of the pattern, because its extraordinary consistency is managed with great care to avoid direct claims, and because it serves an important rhetorical aim: we must be convinced that the speaker is capable of solving the enormous philosophic problem postponed in chapter XIII.\n\nAt the end of chapter II the speaker explains that poets have a reputation for irritability simply because their expression, on any topic, will be more lively than that of the less gifted writer (I, 30). Such an explanation indirectly justifies his most lively condemnations of anonymous critics, seeking to resolve the apparent contradiction between the genially diminished sense of self and such eruptions. As I will show in more detail later, these descriptions provide a set of images whereby Coleridge can briefly characterize a man or his work as inadequately imaginative. The speaker's occasional tempestuous excess supplies the imagery so characteristic of Coleridge's dense prose; it solves a major problem of first-person narration.\n\nIn the light of several indications that the speaker is a genius, many of his self-critical remarks cannot be taken literally. The most frequently misunderstood of these concludes chapter IV. Because it is so often quoted in misleading fragments, I will quote the entire paragraph:\n\nYet even in this attempt ['to investigate the seminal principle' of the difference between fancy and imagination] I am aware, that I shall be obliged to draw more largely on the reader's attention, than so immethodical a miscellany can authorize; when in such a work (the _Ecclesiastical Polity_ ) of such a mind as Hooker's, the judicious author, though no less admirable for the perspicuity than for the port and dignity of his language; and though he wrote for men of learning in a learned age; saw nevertheless occasion to anticipate and guard against 'complaints of obscurity,' as often as he was about to trace his subject 'to the highest well-spring and fountain.' Which, (continues he) 'because men are not accustomed to, the pains we take are more needful a great deal, than acceptable; and the matters we handle, seem by reason of newness (till the mind grow better acquainted with them) dark and intricate.' I would gladly therefore spare both myself and others this labor, if I knew how without it to present an intelligible statement of my poetic creed; not as my _opinions_ , which weigh for nothing, but as deductions from established premises conveyed in such a form, as is calculated either to effect a fundamental conviction, or to receive a fundamental confutation. If I may dare once more adopt the words of Hooker, 'they, unto whom we shall seem tedious, are in no wise injured by us, because it is in their own hands to spare that labor, which they are not willing to endure.' Those at least, let me be permitted to add, who have taken so much pains to render me ridiculous for a perversion of taste, and have supported the charge by attributing strange notions to me on no other authority than their own conjectures, owe it to themselves as well as to me not to refuse their attention to my own statement of the theory, which I _do_ acknowledge; or shrink from the trouble of examining the grounds on which I rest it, or the arguments which I offer in its justification. (I, 64\u20135)\n\nNo literally 'unmethodical miscellany' provides 'deductions from established premises' or a grounded theory with supporting arguments. For Coleridge, 'immethodical' would be a term of deepest condemnation; and yet the headnote printed opposite page 1 distinctly echoes _The Friend:_ 'He wishes to spare the young those circuitous paths, on which he himself had lost his way' (I, civ; compare _F_ , II, 48\u20139 and _F_ , I, 55 and n). The geographical metaphor is repeated exactly in the extract from Hooker; and, in Coleridge's terms, no genuine reasoner will be immethodical. Furthermore, the balance between particular and general or theoretical, characteristic of the young Coleridge's philosophical work, also characterizes correct method ( _F_ , I, 448\u2013524). The delicately allusive play leading to substantial ideas, so common in Coleridge's prose, entirely undercuts the self-description 'immethodical miscellany'.\n\nSo why the irony? It acknowledges how the work will appear to the unimaginative, while encouraging the sympathetic reader to question his own \u2013 not Coleridge's \u2013 abilities (cf. I, 160\u20131). Hooker addressed 'learned men in a learned age'; the speaker, however, must address 'the public' (I, 41\u20132). Yet this public reads carelessly and inattentively (I, 26\u20137 and n). Beginning here, the speaker explains and laments that the necessary difficulty of his topic will limit his audience (I, 73\u20134; I, 105\u20137; I, 149); all of chapter XII, from the perspective of autobiography, is an elaborate explanation of why this public will be confused, and what they will fail to understand. As the pattern develops from this point to chapter XII, responsibility gradually shifts from the speaker to the reader.\n\nThe irony, then, is directed not against himself, but against the dim and inattentive reader for whom he will seem obscure every time he deals with first principles. The unequivocal undermining of 'unmethodical miscellany' as a description of the _Biographia_ presumes at least a rudimentary knowledge of method; that is, that method involves such things as deductions, fundamental proofs and confutations, grounds, arguments, and established premises. This maneuver constitutes a second appeal to the reader whom the speaker assumes will share his own response to the excesses of anonymous criticism (cf. I, 50). As responsibility for following the argument progressively shifts on to this reader, he is more and more clearly portrayed as sharing the speaker's judgment of 'the public' and its anonymous magazine-writers. When the speaker ceases transcribing chapter XIII, we are to see that as a helpless surrender to the practical power of the deficient multitude. The lines of judgment are so strictly drawn that an actual reader is to perceive every obscurity in the text as evidence of his own imaginative poverty \u2013 as long, of course, as he remains within the conceptual and rhetorical universe of _Biographia Literaria_.\n\nThe reputation of the book, then and now, suggests that this dubious strategy failed. To the informed and sympathetic reader who finds the _Biographia_ obscure, the pattern may constitute a high-handed shirking of authorial responsibility. The problem, I suspect, is not primarily that Coleridge is this arrogant; but that he is rather inept at the 'interpersonal' skills involved in an author's relation to his readers. He does not often enough and clearly enough distinguish between the genuine troubles of an attentive reader, and the perversely deliberate noncomprehension of magazine-reading blockheads. His sardonic remarks about those who cannot follow his arguments may provoke a defensive anger that subverts his rhetorical intentions. Later I will point out other instances of Coleridge's clumsiness in identifying and relating to a consistently imagined audience.\n\nThe gap in chapter XIII concludes another aspect of self-portraiture that first appears in these introductory chapters. The speaker describes himself as impractical, and constitutionally oblivious to the public consequences of his acts (I, 31\u20132). He is, as a result, quick to depend on the influence of such practical, foresightful, and dutiful men as Southey (I, 49 n). Yet in reading _Lyrical Ballads_ , friends admired principally for judgment prove themselves deficient (I, 53\u20134). Since the judgment concerns literary not practical matters, the speaker is not deceived. But when one of these 'judicious' friends advises against publication, the speaker immediately stops transcribing. This is clearly worse imprudence. Coleridge seems here to be operating ironically within the eighteenth-century opposition between judgment and genius. The portrait of the speaker as an imprudent genius subject both to his own frailties and to the miscomprehension of Englishmen serves primarily to validate the claim that Coleridge could prove that his theory of imagination is compatible with Christianity. It is intended to imply that the sympathetic reader might come to Highgate to read the withheld manuscript, or at least anticipate its rapid publication. Needless to say, these implications were false.\n\nTo summarize the autobiographical aspect: the chronological sequence and self-portraiture in these first chapters provide the starting-points of Coleridge's argument, and the conceptual and rhetorical foundations on which it will be built. Regarded as philosophy, these chapters begin to build that argument, to define imagination by contrasting fanatics (or pseudo-poets) with geniuses. The structure of this definition reveals what R. H. Fogle calls the classically Coleridgean method. A prior unity is dissolved into subjectively oriented and objectively oriented aspects, and then reconstituted as a whole. Here, Coleridge defines imagination through describing both the psychology and the works of the two contrasting types of mind. The fourth chapter ends approximately where the first began \u2013 with the desire to resolve the controversy by explaining fancy and imagination. As one always finds with Coleridge's circular progression, the second formulation substantiates or illuminates the first by drawing all that has intervened into coherent relation.\n\nThe psychology of the fanatic differs from that of the genius because the fanatic, who suffers 'a debility and dimness of the imaginative power', must consequently rely on the 'immediate impressions of the senses'. The genius, on the other hand, 'is affected by thoughts, rather than by things; and only then feels the requisite interest even for the most important events and accidents, when by means of meditation they have passed into _thoughts_ ' (I, 20). This same domination of the physical generates the pseudo-poetic diction of modern poetry, which sacrifices both passion and intellect to an elaborate, incoherent imagery (I, 15,1, 26 n). (The pseudo-poet, of course, may be a temporally prior form of the anonymous critic, who is the _Biographia_ 's foremost example of the fanatic (I, 25\u20139).)\n\nThe same 'dimness of the imaginative power' accounts for temperamental differences between fanatics and geniuses. Most of chapter II describes the notable serenity of Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare and Milton, contrasting it with the virulent hostility of anonymous critics (I, 19\u201320). The explanation for this state of affairs presents a major idea: The passion being in an inverse proportion to the insight, _that_ the more vivid, as _this_ the less distinct; anger is the inevitable consequence' (I, 19). The controversy concerning _Lyrical Ballads_ demonstrates this clearly. Although two-thirds of the poems in this collection were quite good, anonymous critics focussed their attention on the few flawed pieces. These flawed pieces 'provoked direct hostility when announced as intentional, as the result of choice after full deliberation' \u2013 as if the flawed poems rather than the good ones reflected the intent of the Preface (I, 51\u20134). The inconsistency of such critical judgment is self-evident, and the anonymous critics dimly sense this contradiction:\n\nIn all perplexity there is a portion of fear, which predisposes the mind to anger. Not able to deny that the author possessed both genius and a powerful intellect, they felt _very positive_ , but were not _quite certain_ , that he might not be in the right,... [and sought] alleviation by quarrelling... and by wondering at the perverseness of the man, who had written a long and argumentative essay to persuade them... that they had been all their lives admiring without judgment, and were now about to censure without reason. (I, 52)\n\nThe controversy that the speaker wants to resolve arises, _as a controversy_ , from the characteristic response of the deficient mind to the powerful genius of Wordsworth. Such genial power, in context with the flaws in the Preface and in a few poems, inevitably ignited these volatile fanatics.\n\nThroughout the _Biographia_ , excessive passion of any sort, but especially exorbitant anger, signals the lack of imaginative and intellectual power \u2013 often through images of swarming bees, swirling storms, or other naturally violent events (e.g. I, 19, 32; II, 7). 'Genial', by contrast, means both 'characteristic of genius' and 'cordial or kindly'. References to hostility or serenity, and to stupidity or insight, help sustain the development of the theory of imagination in and through an autobiographical narrative principally recounting the speaker's encounters with other people or their writings.\n\nThe works of fanatics are distinguished from the works of geniuses through several metaphors. At issue is the fact that, despite their reliance on the senses, fanatics observe poorly and thus write incoherently. In Pope's translation of the _Iliad_ , cited as the source for decadent modern imagery, it is difficult at times to tell whether 'the sense or the diction be the more absurd' (I, 27 n). Moderns sacrifice both intellect and passion to 'the glare and glitter of a perpetual, yet broken and heterogeneous imagery, or rather to an amphibious something, made up, half of image, and half of abstract meaning' (I, 15). In such poetry, we see nothing clearly, nor are we brought to understand anything distinctly. The false light of 'glare and glitter' contrasts sharply with the '\"frequent bursts of overpowering light'\" characteristic of Wordsworth's _Descriptive Sketches_ , a volume which announced 'the emergence of an original poetic genius above the literary horizon' (I, 56\u20137). The traditional association of light and enlightenment makes distinctions among qualities or sources of light a natural image for the imagination; this image is largely responsible for the first link between the terms 'imagination' and 'self-consciousness' (I, 165\u20137).\n\nAs one would expect, the works of frauds are also fraudulent: 'The difference indeed between these and the works of genius is not less than between an egg and an egg-shell; yet at a distance they both look alike' (I, 26). The fanatic's anger reveals his intellectual emptiness, 'even as the flowery sod, which covers a hollow, may be often detected by its shaking and trembling' (I, 25). In contrast to such indictments, Coleridge advances major truth-claims on behalf of genuinely imaginative works, works which arise from 'the union of deep feeling with profound thought; the fine balance of truth in observing, with the imaginative faculty in modifying the objects observed' (I, 59). The subjective synthesis of passion, observation and thought results in a poem that synthesizes power, beauty and truth. Coleridge particularly stresses the union of truth with the power to elicit response that characterizes the great poem:\n\nIn poems, equally as in philosophic disquisitions, genius produces the strongest impressions of novelty, while it rescues the most admitted truths from the impotence caused by the very circumstance of their universal admission. Truths of all others the most awful and mysterious, yet being at the same time of universal interest, are too often considered as _so_ true, that they lose all the life and efficiency of truth, and lie bedridden in the dormitory of the soul, side by side with the most despised and exploded errors. (I, 60)\n\nThese ideas reappear in different form as the 'plan' for _Lyrical Ballads_ (II, 5\u20136). This blend of truth and power is consistently represented by images of health, dew and refreshing rain (I, 59; II, 121). By contrast, the fraudulent anonymous critic has 'intellectual claims to the guardianship of the muses [which] seem, for the greater part, analogous to the physical qualifications which adapt their oriental brethren for the superintendence of the Harem' (I, 42): the image deftly combines debility and perversion.\n\nThe contrast of fanatics and geniuses serves generally to enforce this link between truth and aesthetic power. The philosophic inquiry in chapters V to XIII substantiates the truth-claim by defining the cognitive function of imagination; the further discussion of poetic diction in chapters XIV to XX substantiates the link between truth and aesthetic power by defining the imaginative origins of language itself- origins briefly signaled here by the link between verbal precision and poetic genius. These two definitions are at once the most central and the most vulnerable of Coleridge's arguments: they are philosophically, although not rhetorically, dependent on the metaphysics that chapter XIII does not provide.\n\nI want to clarify one possible misunderstanding concerning the contrast between the genius and the fanatic. The fanatic does not suffer an excess of fancy. He suffers an excessive reliance on the senses, or a deformed, exaggerated sensibility. Poets 'from Donne to Cowley' are witty or fanciful. They do not achieve the balance and unity of true poetic genius, but true poetic genius is extremely rare. Even those who are more imaginative than these 'elder poets' (Bowles, for instance, or Cowper) are never described as geniuses. They are far less imaginative than Wordsworth.\n\nA footnote at the end of chapter II clarifies this issue. The true poet is not 'irritable' because his 'profound sensibility' is counter-balanced by the associative power (fancy) and the modifying power (imagination) (I, 30 n). The fanatic's anger reveals the deficiency of this balance. 'GENIUS itself consists' in imagination; but fancy is 'a component equally essential', as the criticism of Wordsworth's poetry will later show (I, 30 n; II, 104\u20135). These intellectual powers are the polar opposites of the physical powers of sense and passion; like centripetal and centrifugal forces, they remain necessarily in balance. Fanatics and pseudo-poets can neither observe well, nor control their passions, because their fancy and imagination are feeble.\n\nThe image from physics deserves close attention. Centrifugal and centripetal forces are two manifestations of a single power (attraction) exhibited in or by the relations of bodies having mass. The outward-directed centrifugal force (sensibility) is not truly a force at all, but a way of naming a particular perspective on or experience of the inward-directed centripetal force. In the familiar physics-class example, the man sitting on the ball being twirled on a string only _feels as if_ he and the ball are being flung outward. Actually, his movement is possible only through the inward pull exerted along the string. This is, I submit, a quite precise image for what Barfield calls Coleridge's theory of '\"separative projection\"'. We inexorably _feel as if_ there is a real, independent, physical world. Any science (of things or minds) that is concerned with knowledge must accept as axiomatic that we can know an external physical world that actually does exist. But metaphysics in its strict sense \u2013 as ontology \u2013 must recognize the _logical_ priority of (inward-directed) imaginative power: that is, the priority of self-consciousness. The image reappears later to illumine the polarity of being and knowing (I, 188).\n\nThe image in this passage implicitly links Coleridge with Newton, just as Kant had compared himself to Copernicus. In chapter IX the speaker describes such a 'completion' of the master's work as the task he shares with Schelling (I, 103\u20134). A later footnote explaining the meanings and relationship of words T and 'me' further identifies Coleridge's position for the philosophically experienced reader (I, 52\u20133 n).\n\nI will have much more to say about imagination and self-consciousness later on. For now, one need only note that genius requires both fancy and imagination for its effective manifestation. The opposite of genial imagination is not fancy, but a literally mindless empiricism. The passage also reveals a most fundamental trait of Coleridge's prose: his metaphors are highly cognitive. They often (perhaps always) define relationships and ideas that will be explained 'literally' only later.\n\nOne final issue deserves attention: in what ways do these philosophical and autobiographical aspects interrelate? Coleridge says that he uses the chronological narrative 'chiefly for the purpose of giving a continuity to the work' (I, 1). Any substantial continuity has its roots in the structure of ideas and arguments presented; the sequence of influences reveals such origins. Like the landscape of Wordsworth's boyhood, the figures of Boyer and Bowles loom high because they foster the speaker's intellectual and moral character. They impress upon him and elicit from him the values and habits of mind that subsequent influences (Southey, Wordsworth, the anonymous critics) refine or draw farther into distinct consciousness. These values and habits prepare him to recognize both genius and fanaticism for what they are: the operations of imagination account for both, and for their productions as well. The speaker's forthcoming inquiry reflects his native philosophic bent, and arises \u2013 as do all genial productions \u2013 from the balanced power of his ideas (about language), his observations (of writers), and his passion (for true understanding and fair judgment).\n\n# **3 The Associative Fancy**\n\n> 24th March, 1808. In how kind and quiet a manner the _Conscience_ talks to us, in general, & at first \u2013 how _long-suffering_ it is, how delicate, & full of pity \u2013 and with what pains when the Dictates of Reason made impulsive by its own Whispers have been obstinately pushed aside, does it utter the sad, judicial, tremendous Sentence after which nothing is left to the Soul but supernatural aid. O what an aweful Being is Conscience! and how infra-bestial the Locks [sic], Priestleys, Humes, Condilliacs [sic] and the dehumanizing race of fashionable Metaphysicians. _Metapothecaries_ , said one _sportively_ , but I _seriously_ , should say Gzraphysicians (i.e. _Contra_ naturalists) when I spoke of them as _Agents_ ; but when I regard them merely in _themselves_ & _passive_ , I should call them _Hypo_ physicians, i.e. _below Nature. Zoophytes?_ \u2013 Nay, there is no contradiction in anything but degraded man. ( _CN_ , III, 3281)\n\nThe first four chapters demonstrate well the so-called 'circularity' of Coleridge's discourse. He presents a series of interrelated terms ('precision', 'beauty', 'truth', 'serenity', 'anger', 'insight', 'intellectual dimness'), each of which he links to 'fanatic' or to 'genius'. These terms appear in each chapter; progressive development unfolds the _relations_ of the terms, not just their meanings in the usual sense. One idea controls all these relations: the center of the circle is _will_. Chapter V begins an extended inquiry into will, and particularly into the relation between will and imagination.\n\nChapter V begins this inquiry by distinguishing three levels of will, and by asserting that the nature of will is epistemology's central problem:\n\nThere have been men in all ages, who have been impelled as by an instinct to propose their own nature as a problem, and who devote their attempts to its solution. The first step was to construct a table of distinctions, which they seem to have formed on the principle of the absence or presence of the WILL. Our various sensations, perceptions, and movements were classed as active or passive, or as media partaking of both.... [C]onjectures, however, concerning the mode in which our perceptions originated, could not alter the natural difference of _things_ and _thoughts_.... Our inward experiences were thus arranged in three separate classes, the passive sense, or what the school-men call the merely receptive quality of the mind; the voluntary; and the spontaneous, which holds the middle place between both. (I, 65\u20136)\n\nColeridge's attempt to base his criticism on principles 'established and deduced from the nature of man' (I, 44) formally begins with this account of the 'traditional' analysis of human nature. Later we learn that secondary imagination operates at the spontaneous level of will. It is 'an intermediate faculty, which is at once both active and passive' (I, 86). As chapter V proceeds, Coleridge asks whether associationism can account for the spontaneous activity of mind; and he concludes that it cannot. The laws of association describe the operations and the materials of fancy, but imagination itself operates in other ways. Imagination does not associate; it synthesizes. What _that_ distinction entails will be stated in chapters XII and XIII, and explained coherently in the chapters on Wordsworth.\n\nThis table of distinctions provides the epistemological and structural foundation of the _Biographia_ 's inquiry into imagination. It functions here as a substitute, in some ways, for Coleridge's more usual foundation: the distinction between reason and understanding. As the reader winds his way through chapters V to XIII the table slowly grows. The completed table looks like this:\n\n| I | II | III  \n---|---|---|---  \n(levels of will) | receptive | spontaneous | voluntary  \n(forms of cognition) | sensuous | intuitive | discursive  \n(forms of | common | self- |   \nconsciousness) |  consciousness |  consciousness | memory  \n(acts of powers) | perception | synthesis | association  \n(names of powers) | primary imagination | secondary imagination | fancy\n\nThe table has three major features. First, columns I and II are very closely related. Both common consciousness and self-consciousness are self-knowledge, although knowledge of different aspects of the self. Common consciousness is or knows the self as agent. Self-consciousness is or knows the self as an act. Because will is never actually suspended (I, 77), 'receptive' (the 'relatively passive') and 'spontaneous' name differences in degree, not kind, of mental activity (cf. I, 202). Because all knowledge is the concurrence of subject and object, 'perception' itself is 'synthetic', albeit not consciously so. Yet the terms 'sensuous' and 'intuitive' are far less closely related. One is mediated, the other immediate; one is physical, the other spiritual.\n\nThis reveals the second feature of the table. All the elements in column I describe the mind's encounter with the sensuous domain; all the elements in column II describe the mind's encounter with itself. The table thus reflects the differences, and the similarities, between our knowledge of things and our knowledge of thoughts \u2013 a distinction with which epistemology begins (I, 65). The opposition between things and thoughts has already been observed at length in the differences between sensation-dependent fanatics, and geniuses, whose minds are 'affected by thoughts, rather than by things' (I, 20). In a highly characteristic way, Coleridge moves forward by delving beneath prior topics; he makes the implicit explicit; he moves background issues into the foreground. Yet notice as well that he does not tell us that this is what he is doing. He writes as if he presumes we will anticipate these epistemological issues as the next logical step. It is the logical progression only for one who makes much of the fact that fanatics' minds are passive, while geniuses' minds are active.\n\nThe table of distinctions at first accommodates the fanatic-genius, passive-active distinction by appearing to grant that minds _are_ passive in their relation to the physical world. But as the table and the epistemology underlying it are developed, this appearance is gradually discarded. This development takes place in chapters V to IX, which are centrally concerned with the realities named in column III. The third feature of the table is the extent to which column III names the central issues in Coleridge's critical commentary on his own times \u2013 and on Wordsworth. Throughout the analysis of associationism, the speaker argues that Lockean philosophies do not explain the phenomena named in column II, those concerned with the mind's experience of itself. Materialist associationisms collapse the intuitive into the sensuous, the spontaneous into the receptive, and so on. The network of relations among these fifteen terms underlies Coleridge's contention that Wordsworth's attitude toward the landscape verges on an empiricism that is ultimately pantheist. Wordsworth, Coleridge contends, attributes to _things_ what he ought to attribute to his own imaginative _thinking_. In his theory and in his poems, he sometimes exaggerates or mismanages all that column III represents, because he has been unduly influenced by the Lockeanism of the day. He, too, tends to represent the intuitive as the receptive ('the light reflected, as a light bestowed'), although \u2013 Coleridge insists \u2013 he knows better. Coleridge's own account of fancy explains that the poet's associative processes should be controlled by imagination's spontaneous impulses, not by the spacio-temporal forms of the landscape. He offers an imaginative, not material, account of associating.\n\nThe concept of will is the _Biographia_ 's structural foundation because here Coleridge is centrally interested in discrediting the Lockean contention that the mind is a _tabula rasa_. The theory of imagination arises by contrast to this common but perniciously mistaken notion that the mind is passive. By asserting that the mind is active, he can account for the controversy over _Lyrical Ballads_ by analyzing the intellectual passivity of fanatical critics. From the same standpoint, he can undermine portions of Wordsworth's theory by contending that Wordsworth's careless writing suggests that the mind is passive in its relation to the landscape. By analyzing the merits of Wordsworth's best poems, Coleridge can champion the moral and cultural value of Wordsworth's exemplary genius. He can restore the elements in column III to their proper place in our knowledge of human nature \u2013 to the dignity and value Wordsworth's best poetry so brilliantly portrays.\n\nDespite \u2013 or perhaps because of \u2013 this structural centrality, the _Biographia_ seems to explain the idea of will everywhere in general, but very few places in particular. It is a genuinely elusive idea, but one that Coleridge regarded as crucial for his philosophy. In most rudimentary terms, the idea of will comes down to this: the mind is active. Most precisely, the mind _is_ an act. It is not a blank slate on which the material world writes by means of the sense organs. The pith of my system', he is quoted as saying, 'is, to make the senses out of the mind \u2013 not the mind out of the senses, as Locke did' ( _TT_ , 25 July 1832). The pith _of Biographia Literaria_ 's design is Coleridge's insight into the relation between literary value and moral value. He risks the abyss of pantheism because he must have ways, even interim ways, to link imaginative power as a literary fact to imaginative power as an epistemological fact. He must have this link because it is crucial to the proper evaluation of Wordsworth's poetry. The origin of great art, and the origin of moral insight, are one and the same: Wordsworth at his best is a great poet and a great thinker for one reason, not two reasons. Coleridge cannot prove the relation he sees between these two functions of imagination's power, but he endeavors to reveal to the self-consciously thinking reader that a poem's beauty and its truth elicit or require the same intellectual activity from its reader. By urging and helping us to think about our activities as readers, Coleridge elicits our consent to his new version of the old ideal, 'dulce et utile'.\n\nMany critics have puzzled over the fact that both before and after _Biographia Literaria_ Coleridge attributes to reason many of the epistemological functions that the _Biographia_ seems to attribute to imagination. This is not quite the case, despite appearances: the _Biographia_ 's account of will offers a very subtle and difficult distinction between secondary imagination and pure reason, which is the sheerly active pole that is one part of imagination's synthesis. Because this very subtle distinction supplies the crucial link between literary value and moral value, let me stop here to preview Coleridge's argument. Without such an outlook over the difficult terrain ahead, my own analysis will unduly recapitulate the baffling intricacies of Coleridge's own way.\n\nOne preliminary note: generations of scholars have described the _Biographia_ as almost a pivot in Coleridge's career: before this, poetry; after this, religion. Before this, imagination; after this, reason. Beginning in a substantial way with McFarland's and Barfield's work in the late 1960s, this dichotomy has been increasingly challenged. From his early days as a Hartleyan to his last hours in Highgate, Coleridge was very centrally concerned with morals. His 'orthodoxy' \u2013 that usually scornful term \u2013 was no coward's shelter. His Christianity was subtle, imaginative, and intellectually daring. His literary theories cannot be understood properly in a radical isolation from his religious speculation, because they rest on an analysis of consciousness that cannot be formulated without recourse to religious concepts. Similarly, his religious inquiries and allegiances cannot be appreciated by one who fails to recognize the bold imaginative powers at work in his reaffirmation of classically Western moral values. In short, let me begin by positing the integrity of Coleridge's intellectual career, just as I began by positing the unity of his intellectual autobiography, because it permits me to gain a vantage-point from which this integrity can be more clearly seen and more objectively evaluated.\n\nThe scope and significance of this assumption becomes most fully evident if one contrasts this study with Kathleen Wheeler's _Sources, Processes and Methods in Coleridge's 'Biographia Literaria_ '. Wheeler contends that There are passages in the _Biographia_ which have an imaginative, \"paganistic\" originality and individuality which no formulations explicitly Christian could possibly allow' (p. 146). Later in his career, she explains, 'uncertainties... led Coleridge to have to suppress imagination and irony as uncontrollable elements foreign to his Christian philosophy' (p. 133). 'Immediately upon finishing the _Biographia_ he retired into the safety of the mainland of ordinary conventional consciousness, and occupied much of his intellectual energy with untangling the issues within the Christian theological tradition' (p. 147). In representing Coleridge's Christianity as a retreat from full self-consciousness, from the burden of individual identity, and from the responsibilities coinherent in creativity, Wheeler portrays him as attempting to return to the dimness of sensation and enfeebled intellect characteristic of the deficient multitude. Because such a retreat is not psychologically possible, the act of denying one's own self-consciousness is profoundly self-deceptive. That is why Wheeler and those who share her view describe Coleridge's later career as signaling a radical personal failure \u2013 however scrupulously they avoid condemning him. The quality and influence of his theology offer, apparently, no amends; nor do the ways in which his inquiries challenge the orthodox _status quo_. Different ways of understanding Coleridge's career are important for the formal evaluation _of Biographia Literaria_ as a discourse, because the _Biographia_ includes many specific references to Christian beliefs. Those who regard such statements as irrelevant or contradictory change the _Biographia_ no less radically than those who oppose Milton's God change _Paradise Lost_.\n\nIn the _Biographia_ , Coleridge's arguments about Wordsworth's theories and poems presume the theory of imagination, which presumes the idea of will, which cannot be defined apart from the ideas of reason and faith that are its complements in his analysis of consciousness. Understanding the relations among reason, faith and will, and understanding the relation between this complex and the idea of imagination, are prerequisite to following the path of his argument about the relation between moral value and literary value. So let us look first at the relations among reason, faith and will; and then at the relation between will and imagination; and finally at the ways in which this relationship influences what imagination produces. This preliminary summary can do scant justice to the richness and philosophic complexity of these issues. But let complexity wait for later, as the _Biographia_ itself gradually engages these problems. What we need now is no more than a very plain, very general sense of direction.\n\nWill, faith and reason together name the single, complex, highest power of the human mind; and the ideal union of literary value and moral value derives from the _singleness_ of this power. When discussing only one of these three, Coleridge usually attributes to it the whole complex power. He does so consistently in the _Biographia_ , which focusses our attention almost exclusively on will. But when he defines all three together, he attributes to each a specific aspect of the single power: reason is cognitive, will is motive, and faith is the relation between the fullest operation of each. The most elegant and lucid definition of this psychological trinity concludes the 'Essay on Faith'.\n\nFaith subsists in the _synthesis_ of the reason and the individual will. By virtue of the latter therefore it must be an energy, and inasmuch as it relates to the whole moral man, it must be exerted in each and all of his constituents or incidents, faculties and tendencies; \u2013 it must be a total, not a partial; a continuous, not a desultory or occasional energy. And by virtue of the former, that is, reason, faith must be a light, a form of knowing, a beholding of truth. In the incomparable words of the Evangelist, therefore \u2013 _faith must be a light originating in the Logos, or substantial reason, which is co-eternal and one with the Holy Will, and which light is at the same time the life of men_. Now as life is here the sum or collective of all moral and spiritual acts, in suffering, doing, and being, so is faith the source and the sum, the energy and the principle of the fidelity of man to God, by the subordination of his human will, in all provinces of his nature to his reason, as the sum of spiritual truth, representing and manifesting the will Divine. (Shedd, V, 565)\n\nIn describing faith as both motive (the 'energy' of will) and cognitive (reason, a 'form of knowing'), Coleridge places himself approximately intermediate between Roman Catholic and Anglican Protestant doctrines. The essential act of faith is fidelity to God. Yet this is simultaneously fidelity to the self, to one's own reason as the origin of individual identity and personality. Such simultaneity is possible because reason knows the difference between right and wrong. Reason knows the difference because it knows God's will, or God as Absolute Will. In knowing the difference between right and wrong, reason itself participates in the motive aspect of faith: the entirely rational person will by definition not desire that which he knows to be wrong. Yet sin is precisely such a desire: it is the failure to subordinate desire (will) to knowledge (reason). By defining sin in this way, Coleridge portrays it as simultaneously inauthentic, psychologically diseased, and contrary to God's will. The well-formed conscience, in turn, testifies both to mental health and to morals: it reflects the unity or the disharmony of faith, will and reason.\n\nThe 'Essay on Faith' emphasizes faith's role in this psychological trinity; _Biographia Literaria_ emphasizes will's role. It describes _will_ as the mind's power to _act_ , and argues that the mind's essential act is _knowing_. Coleridge usually calls this essential cognitive act _reason_ , and then distinguishes (in basically Kantean ways) between reason's cognition and the cognition of understanding. But the distinction between reason and understanding very seldom appears in the _Biographia_. For clarity's sake, I will follow the _Biographia_ 's usage, using _will_ to name the mind's power to act, a power primarily evident in the power to know. In the _Biographia_ , then, will is both cognitive and motive, and its highest form of cognition is the act of faith or the knowledge of God.\n\nLet us turn now to the character of will's interactivity with imagination. Will is involved in 'each and all' human acts, from the most profound to the most trivial. Knowing is not a part of will, as an arm is part of a dancer. Rather, knowing is to human being as dancing is to the dancer _per se_. As chapter XII explains, the epistemologist examines the fundamental form of this human act, which is self-knowing or self-consciousness. By virtue of self-consciousness, all our other acts are different from the acts of unconscious nonhumans, just as by virtue of dancing all the movements of a dancer are (potentially, at least) more coherent, deliberate and beautiful than those of a nondancer. This turning inward of will, the self-consciousness, is the act of secondary imagination.\n\nIt is or requires the act of imagination because Coleridge here distinguishes knowing as such from the ability to dissolve and simultaneously to reconstitute the unity of consciousness. When Coleridge later in his career stops discussing imagination, it is at least in part because this distinction is not absolutely necessary to his principal arguments about reason itself. And later on he is more interested in determining how reason accounts for the richest development of human consciousness, rather than how imagination acts as an essentially necessary 'catalyst' for these supreme human achievements. The _Biographia_ , however, does emphasize imagination's role in attaining self-consciousness because ( _a_ ) imagination's access to the primal unity of will, faith and reason provides the link between moral value and the most perfectly achieved imaginative works, and ( _b_ ) because self-consciousness is only one instance of imagination's power to dissolve and recreate. The process of composing poetry is another.\n\nWhen will and imagination interact as self-consciousness (when will through imagination strives to know itself), will discovers the pure spirit or soul. It discovers its own being-which-is-knowing that Coleridge usually calls 'reason'. As we can and cannot tell the dancer from the dance, so we can and cannot distinguish our being from our knowing. The unity of being and knowing is an act, the act of self-knowing, which can be represented by the words 'I am'. The human power of knowing is an echo in the finite human mind of the infinite and absolute knowing that is God, 'the infinite I am'. One's ability through will to know one's own consciousness, to know the human being-which-is-knowing, is thus a knowledge of or an encounter with the absolute in a pure but relative form. It is consciousness of the human in the divine, or the divine in the human, or Christ within us, 'begotten not made, one in being with the Father'. In short, it comes to this: will as cognition (the reason aspect of faith) knows God; it also knows itself as pure spirit, as pure knower, and thus as both free and immortal by virtue of its essential identity with or participation in the absolute knowing that is God. It attains such knowledge only when or as it exerts the fullness of its cognitive power on the mind itself, and such self-consciousness requires an immensely powerful secondary imagination.\n\nWill thus involves two paradoxes. The first is the possibility of an absolute in relative form. This derives from the mystery of the Incarnation, or the Trinity generally, about which the _Biographia_ says almost nothing. The second is the paradoxical relation between the mind and the world: the world is both physically real and independent, and created for us through the act of knowing. Since knowing is such an important access to the divine, the contradiction may be capable of symbolic resolution. But, again, the _Biographia_ says almost nothing, repeatedly deferring solution to the Logosophia. These two paradoxes underlie Coleridge's central contention that the greatest works of literature intimately synthesize moral insights with vividly particular portraits of all that we call 'reality'. Because the paradoxes are genuinely irresolvable, the argument about literature is an essentially rhetorical construct. Coleridge seeks to persuade us by appealing to 'inner experience' generally, and by specific appeal to the 'inner experience' of the meditative reading of poems. And this mode of argument is neither outrageous nor sly. Recognizing that 'proofs' of God can no longer be valid or meaningful, Coleridge sees further that 'proofs' of the cultural and moral value of literature are equally futile. We need, he recognizes, a new defense of poetry.\n\nThis account of the interactivity of will and imagination has emphasized the role of will so as to sketch the connection between imagination and the moral realm. Explaining the same interaction with an emphasis now on imagination can sketch the connection between imagination and literature. The imagination mediates between the mind's active pole (will) and its passive pole (sensation). Imagination's own activity is synthesizing these two poles. This synthesis generates two sets of 'products'. The first set, produced through primary imagination, is common consciousness and perception. Common consciousness is the union of self-as-subject (will as act or as knowing) with self-as-object (will as agent or as being); it arises coinstantaneously and spontaneously with the act of perception. It can be represented by the phrase 'I am', whereby the T is regarded or discovered as an entity distinct from its surroundings.\n\nThe second set, produced through secondary imagination, is philosophic or imaginative self-consciousness and poetry (in the highest sense in which poetry and philosophy are equatable). These products arise when the synthesis comprising common consciousness becomes itself an object of knowledge. Common consciousness can itself be known only by one who can simultaneously dissolve and reconstitute its union of being and knowing. Such self-consciousness or philosophic consciousness is the knowing of common consciousness both as a unity and as its parts. Secondary imagination distinguishes the dancer from the dance, but in doing so realizes that the two _cannot be known in isolation from one another_. Imaginative self-consciousness discovers or generates suprasensuous knowledge because it directly intuits the will itself (the purely active pole) when it regards the unity of common consciousness as its parts. It 'dissolves, diffuses, [and] dissipates' not the object itself, but the relation between mind and object. I will explain more about imagination's direct intuition of will when we come to chapter XII.\n\nThe 'Essay on Faith' explains that faith as a product is knowledge, and faith as a process is will. The _Biographia_ explains that poetry as a _product_ is the union of universal (via will's self-scrutiny) and particular (via the senses) that Coleridge calls a symbol. Poetry's moral and human value derives from these two links, first to God and secondly to the richness of human experience or reality as humanly known. Poetry as a _process_ 'brings the whole soul of man into activity, with the subordination of its faculties to each other, according to their relative worth and dignity' (II, 12). By virtue of this whole involvement, poetry is both an intellectual and linguistic craft with its own rules, and an impassioned self-expression bounded only by the expressing self. Poetry as a process also achieves symbolic richness: it is both universal in its fidelity to rules derived from fundamental patterns of human consciousness, and particular in its presentation of both specific situations and the individuality of its author. We will see much more of Coleridge's ideas about the nature of poetry when we come to the _Biographia_ 's second volume.\n\nOne final note about imagination. It is not directly cognitive. We have only two sources of knowledge: the relatively passive sense organs, and the will (or reason). The imagination \u2013 at either of its levels \u2013 can be called cognitive only because it synthesizes cognitive powers. It does not, itself, have access to objects as the senses do, nor to the suprasensuous as the will does. If it did, then the distinction between sensuous and suprasensuous would become very badly blurred; and this is likely to land us in pantheism. And yet we have no conscious knowledge of any sort without the imagination. Because it is not necessary in every context to specify that imagination 'knows' only in this qualified and indirect sense, Coleridge in the _Biographia_ talks about imaginative knowledge or self-conscious knowledge when he wishes to contrast what may be known through sensation with what may be known through meditation. Such passages are highly condensed, or strictly adapted to local argument; but they are not contradictory. (They do, however, make it somewhat difficult to specify the relation between Coleridge's idea of imagination and Kant's.) Coleridge's point, inevitably, is that imaginative knowledge arises from the synthesis or harmony of all human powers, both spiritual and natural. Its opposite is strictly empirical or sensory observation, which does not, finally, deserve the name 'knowledge'.\n\nThe _Biographia_ says little about faith, and less about reason and understanding, because it is primarily concerned with the products of imagination, not with the full intricacy of the activity of imagination in concert with other powers. Coleridge defines only those parts of his full philosophy that he needs to establish the unity of truth, verbal precision and aesthetic power in great poems. As he says in chapter IX, he intends to offer an aid to judgment not \u2013 as later \u2013 an aid to reflection. Formal arguments concerning the exact activity of will, and its interactivity with imagination, are confined to one chapter \u2013 to the extraordinarily compressed summary and revision of Schelling's analysis of consciousness. But the practical or experiental aspects of will and imagination are worked out in a lucid and sometimes leisurely way in chapters V to XI, as the speaker gradually and simultaneously refutes materialism and recognizes the unity of being and knowing.\n\nThis refutation formally begins in chapter V, which begins with the 'table of distinctions' that we have just examined. Somehow it ought to be obvious that the three levels of will provide a basis for the philosophic inquiry projected in chapter IV. But the remarkable absence of will as a term and an explicit issue in most commentaries on the _Biographia_ demonstrates that these valuable distinctions, especially as later elaborated, largely escape even careful readers. This happens, I suspect, because Coleridge moves so rapidly to the summary of Mackintosh's lectures that he invites us to see the chapter's opening paragraph as no more than an introductory historical flourish. Furthermore, one who expects Coleridge to be always digressive and disjointed will be particularly willing to dismiss this paragraph because it does not immediately and intimately link chapter V to chapter IV. That expectation becomes self-fulfilling: the analysis of associationism appears largely irrelevant, and this misperception itself generates much subsequent confusion. The unity of the _Biographia_ begins rapidly to unravel, especially for a reader who also discarded chapter II because of its equally off-handed opening. As a composition, _Biographia Literaria_ is by far too fragile to resist and correct such readers.\n\nI doubt that it is possible to apportion 'responsibility' or 'blame' for the reader's probable misdirection at chapter V: Coleridge's genuine clumsiness here is too complexly interwoven with the traditions influencing how we approach his works. I would point out only that autobiography offered Coleridge ample resources for the devising of a more helpful transition, resources that one must assume he ignores for conscious and unconscious reasons of his own. Regarded as autobiography, chapters V to VII refute the claims advanced in lectures by Sir James Mackintosh, who according to Coleridge asserted that Hobbes had advanced a new explanation of spontaneous mental activity, an explanation fully worked out by Hartley. The speaker sharply disagrees with Mackintosh's high praise for these two philosophers. Mackintosh's lectures are not linked to the sequence of influences recorded in chapters I to IV, although since Coleridge attended them in 1800 they might have been fitted in. Since Hartley was actually a quite major influence (a fact noted in chapter X), he, too, offers a means of linking these chapters to the first four. But no autobiographical continuity links chapter V to what has gone before, until chapter IX describes the philosophers analyzed in these chapters as a sequence of studies the speaker had undertaken. This 'revision' establishes Mackintosh as a student and historian of philosophy opposite and equivalent to the speaker. It reflects helpful emphasis back to the table of distinctions, and to the question whether ancient or modern philosophers more accurately understood the spontaneous (i.e. imaginative) activity of mind. It is possible that the lack of immediate autobiographical linkage is intended to signal that _Biographia Literaria_ is not simply or exclusively an intellectual autobiography, but also an inquiry into will and poetry. If so, then the principal chronological tie becomes the speaker's _present_ intent to present his 'poetic creed' not as opinion, but as 'deductions from established premises' (I, 65): the autobiography takes the first of several leaps 'forward' into the speaker's present time.\n\nRegarded as philosophy, chapters V to VII progressively develop the issues of earlier chapters: they define fancy, and distinguish it from imagination. In defining fancy, Coleridge asserts that association is governed not by things but by thinking. The spacio-temporal relations of objects matter less than the power of will to focus attention and thereby to control the clarity with which items are present or accessible within one's memory. The spontaneous operation of will (the secondary imagination) thus can govern the activity of fancy in associating elements linked by any notion or feature at all. Coleridge sketches this interaction of fancy and imagination in the densely metaphoric and analogic 'water-insect' passage late in chapter VII. These images and analogies reappear in the criticism of Wordsworth when Coleridge contends that Wordsworth attributes to the rural landscape a power to govern association that properly belongs to secondary imagination. This error, Coleridge claims, is evident both in Wordsworth's statements about rustics' language, and in his unsuccessful poems.\n\nLet us begin with the definition of fancy, turning afterwards to the critique of materialist theories of association. Chapter V describes fancy objectively, from the perspective of things associated; chapter VI describes fancy subjectively, from the perspective of mental controls over this process. Chapter VII explores the consequences of mental control over fancy, and formulates the 'true practical general law of association' in a way that emphasizes fancy's subordination to will and imagination. Chapter VIII explores the metaphysical issues raised by this subordination; further inquiry into such issues will generate the formal definition of imagination in chapter XIII.\n\nThe objective account of what perceptions are associable begins from the same fundamental conservatism we have already noted: Tor many, very many centuries, it has been difficult to advance a new truth, or even a new error, in the philosophy of the intellect or morals' (I, 66). On this basis, the speaker prefers Aristotle to the moderns: 'In as much as later writers have either deviated from, or added to his doctrines, they appear to me to have introduced either error or groundless supposition' (I, 71). Yet, as Shawcross points out, the speaker emends Aristotle, who does not list the 'five agents or occasioning causes' of association (I, 72). Even this position is subsequently 'clarified' into something quite different. The five causes are summarized as variations on the _contemporaneity_ of original impressions; the speaker later substitutes _continuity_ to eliminate altogether any necessary temporal link (I, 87; cf. I, 70). Coleridge calls down the authority of Aristotle against the authority of the associationist tradition in English materialism, arranging and adding to Aristotle's rather sketchy remarks on the topic for his own purposes.\n\nAristotle's sketchiness very nicely deflates association from the complete theory of mind that it is in Hartley to no more than the name of one class of actions that the mind can perform. The speaker approvingly notes that Aristotle provides only 'a comprehensive survey of the different facts, and of their relations to each other without _supposition_ , i.e. a fact _placed under_ a number of facts, as their common support and explanation' (I, 72). Because Aristotle consistently distinguishes mental movement or activity from movement in space, the speaker claims that Aristotle supports his own major contention about fancy: association is controlled not by the physical relations of the objects whose impressions are associated by the mind but, rather, by strictly mental processes. Association is not a law governed by things, but a law governed by thinking \u2013 a process that the mind itself controls.\n\nChapter VI turns from this concern with the relations among associable objects to consider the mental processes by which fancy is directed. The speaker asserts that 'the will, the reason, the judgement, and the understanding' are the 'determining causes' of association (I, 76). If these higher powers failed to exercise such authority, then 'our whole life would be divided between the despotism of outward impressions, and that of senseless and passive memory' (I, 77).\n\nThere follows an example designed to support this very central contention. It begins with a verb in the imperative mood: 'Consider, how immense must be the sphere of a total impression from the top of St. Paul's church...' (I, 77). The reader who resists has demonstrated his control over association: he refuses to summon up the view associated with these words. The reader who cooperates would be swept into delirium if will did not control and limit the associative movement of mind. Either way, the speaker makes his point by eliciting the control that is at issue, rather than by constructing formal philosophic counter-arguments.\n\nBecause this strategy would probably not persuade a professional philosopher (especially a sophisticated empiricist), we have here fairly clear evidence concerning the kinds of reader Coleridge expected. This passage, like the footnote defining 'idea' (I, 69 n), or the explanation that both materialism and idealism can be traced back to the ancients (I, 66), or the footnote distinguishing objective and subjective forms of consciousness (I, 53 n), seems to suggest that Coleridge expected little formal sophistication. The argument is designed for one who shares the speaker's essential values \u2013 both his Christian ideas about the mind and about moral responsibility, and his attitudes toward inquiry. The long experiential arguments identify the speaker as a person more deeply concerned about practical consequences or moral issues than about formal proofs. We are to realize that, for this man, proofs without such practical bases and moral conviction are merely academic word-games \u2013 an abuse of language closely akin to that of anonymous critics (see I, 95\u20137; I, 178\u20139; cf. _CL_ , II, 961). In effect, these experiential arguments define the powers of will as axioms, a status that never changed (see _AR_ , 153\u20139). Personal agency is an unquestioned but well-examined fact from which Coleridge begins. The reader who is more interested in poetry and Wordsworth than in philosophy and Schelling might accept such a complex axiom. But such a reader is apt to be confused and annoyed when Coleridge suddenly shifts to a dense discourse that presumes a thorough knowledge of the implications of various philosophic formulae, as he does in chapters VIII and XII.\n\nThe professional philosopher who can read such chapters with relative ease will most likely object to the breadth of Coleridge's initial assumptions. The professional is more likely than the amateur to demand that Coleridge prove his idea of will, or argue formally on behalf of his concept of God. In the absence of such proofs and arguments, the professional might think that these illuminations are to be taken as proofs; and thence conclude that Coleridge is a bungler with no sense of formal argument, nor of the complexity of his issues. This misperception derives in part from the sharp wit that guides less experienced readers: Coleridge writes as if he has demolished his opponents' positions. His repeated statements of intent to supply formal proofs in another book should signal his recognition that such proof is necessary. Yet the confident tone, the unfinished Logosophia, and the irresolvable paradoxes leave Coleridge quite vulnerable to sharp professional attack.\n\nAnd in all this it must be remembered that in the _Biographia_ Coleridge explicitly refers to a class of readers to whom he expects to be almost entirely opaque: anonymous critics and their kind. Rather than leave his argument vulnerable to the confused apprehension of this powerful group, Coleridge's speaker periodically breaks off his discourse with a reference to the unspoken. Usually the unspoken is represented as the Logosophia or some other unwritten or unfinished work; occasionally, as in chapter VI, it is represented as a mystery that should not be revealed indiscriminately. As these references become more explicit, it gradually becomes evident that all refer to the relation between the creative powers of human cognition, and the power or activity that is God. The most famous reference to 'mysteries' is the chapter's second 'anecdote', describing the delirious serving girl. The story attributes to memory the passive recording falsely attributed to fancy itself, and asserts that _conscious_ memory represents only a fraction of the total power. The girl's ravings reveal association without the conscious control of will. The story claims that even relatively passive mental processes rest not on material but on spiritual causes: 'all thoughts are in themselves imperishable', and their record is the 'dread book of judgement' (I, 79\u201380). The concluding lines attribute the unity and permanence revealed by association operating as memory to 'the free-will, our only absolute _self_ ' (I, 80).\n\nThe passage from Plotinus links will to the aesthetic issues defined earlier. Before defining imagination, the speaker must solve several problems in epistemology and metaphysics. Because he solves them through religious meditation, moral issues often color chapters V to XIII. As a result, thematic unity demands coherent relations among morals, aesthetics, imagination and will. These relations are first defined here, when the speaker 'breaks off' a discussion of the moral implications of will to quote the following. It is 'profanation' to speak of such things, he explains,\n\n'To those to whose imagination it has never been presented, how beautiful is the countenance of justice and wisdom; and that neither the morning nor the evening star are so fair. For in order to direct the view aright, it behoves that the beholder should have made himself congenerous and similar to the object beheld. Never could the eye have beheld the sun, had not its own essence been soliform,' ( _i.e. pre-configured to light by a similarity of essence with that of light_ ) 'neither can a soul not beautiful attain to an intuition of beauty.' (I, 80 n)\n\nColeridge adds 'imagination' to the first sentence to adapt the passage to his own ends \u2013 a characteristic strategy. The speaker literally asserts that he cannot continue this line of moral inquiry because not everyone will understand (another instance of the 'deficient multitude' theme). In Coleridge's context, the passage from Plotinus implicitly equates imagination, aesthetic sensitivity, and consciousness of will. It also asserts a necessary connection between this psychological unity and the metaphysical unity of the Good, the True and the Beautiful. The speaker later substantiates this necessary connection through the analysis of will and consciousness (i.e. through the definition of imagination). The theory of imagination explains how the Good, the True and the Beautiful are evident in the most perfect instances of poetry.\n\nIn short, if the last paragraph of chapter VI is read as a transition \u2013 certainly what the reader expects in a last paragraph \u2013 one discovers both the unity of prior issues and a basis for understanding how the diversity of earlier issues will lead to a higher unity. Will interrelates imagination, beauty and the fanatic-genius opposition; the equation of imagination and the consciousness of will maps new ground. The 'breaking off' is merely stylistic, an odd and probably unsuccessful device to draw attention to the highly condensed and important integration of several central issues.\n\nChapter VII defines the ontological and metaphysical consequences of mental control over association. Its concluding definition of fancy both complements and supplants the 'Aristotelian' five causes by locating the real cause of association in the controlling power of will. The chapter is dense, quick, and tightly woven with the critique of Hartley; but every idea follows clearly from one central point: failure to recognize the agency of will destroys the ideas of consciousness, moral responsibility or personal agency, God, faith and causality.\n\nAs a philosopher (and a Christian), the speaker values final causes, as he explains in chapter IX: 'We learn all things indeed by _occasion_ of experience; but the very facts so learnt force us inward on the antecedents, that must be pre-supposed in order to render experience itself possible' (I, 94). That is, we _ought_ to be forced inward to final causes, by our own ontology. 'The facts' will only 'force' us if we establish certain standards for explanations. The speaker argues for the _necessary_ existence of suprasensible realities. His argument centers on a complex of terms ('consciousness', 'will', 'self', 'soul') that are not entirely synonymous but, rather, aspects of basic human identity. This complex is closely linked to God, in part through the traditional associations of religious language, and in part for reasons only later explained (but discussed by me at the beginning of the present chapter).\n\nThe speaker first defends consciousness itself. According to Hartley's followers (including, once, Coleridge himself), 'consciousness [is] considered as a _result_ , as a _tune_ , the common product of [material] breeze and [bodily] harp[.]... [But] what is harmony but a mode of relation, the very _esse_ of which is _percipi?_ ' (I, 81) To hear and to analyze the music made by the harp requires a third position, neither harp nor breeze but auditor. If consciousness were merely a product of the physical world and the physical body, then we could by definition never achieve the knowledge of consciousness that the image defines. 'Listening' requires the power to observe one's own mind. It requires self-consciousness. The power of self-observation is the single most central fact for Coleridge's philosophy generally; it is defined here for the first time through a metaphor. Coleridge's equation of poetry and philosophy must be taken very seriously by any student of his prose \u2013 or his poetry.\n\nThe second suprasensible is will itself, considered as moral responsibility or personal agency. If final causes are discarded, then 'the disquisition, to which I am at present soliciting the reader's attention, may be as truly said to be written by Saint Paul's church, as by _me'_ (I, 82). The reference to St Paul's echoes the earlier reference to introduce another witty portrait of common-sense experience. The passage appeals to the experience of personal agency, rather than proving its 'objective' possibility. None the less, the paragraph strongly and successfully urges the irrationality of denying personal agency.\n\nThe denial or the defense of self-consciousness and personal agency leads directly to the denial or the defense of God. Our knowledge of our own will (i.e. self-consciousness) intimately involves a knowledge of God as 'an intelligent and holy will' (I, 83). Limiting all explanations to efficient causality necessarily leads to the 'degredation of every fundamental idea in ethics or theology' because these ideas depend on entities that are not knowable through the sense organs. Spinoza's denial of both personal agency and the personality of God stands silently behind the critique of associationism. The speaker refutes not the intent of Locke or Hartley, but the consequences of object-oriented philosophy as made evident by Spinoza. By suggesting that the similarity of God and man rests on the power of will, Coleridge firmly anchors the relation between his moral and his aesthetic concerns: the activity of mind that generates art also leads to God.\n\nFinal causes must be distinguished not only from efficient causes, but also from necessary conditions (I, 85). The contemporaneity of objects (as stressed by Hartley's mechanism) is a law of matter, not of mind. The development of this idea introduces the first substantial explanation of the interaction of fancy and imagination: the famous 'water-insect' passage, followed by the formal definition of the law of association. This definition stresses the agency of will that the water-insect passage illuminates in greater detail.\n\n... the true practical general law of association is this; that whatever makes certain parts of a total impression more vivid or distinct than the rest, will determine the mind to recall these in preference to others equally linked together by the common condition of contemporaneity, or (what I deem a more appropriate and philosophical term) of _continuity_. But the will itself by confining and intensifying the attention may arbitrarily give vividness or distinctness to any object whatsoever. (I, 87)\n\nThe substitution of 'continuity' eliminates the last traces of materialism from the law of association: continuity can link past and present, or objects here with objects there, on the basis of subjectively originating similarity. Most important, the recalled feature that triggers the associative leap depends not on physical conditions, but on the 'arbitrary' or selective focussing of attention on to particular features of a given perception. Thus, the operations of fancy are determined by habits of observation (what aspects are noted?), by the power of attention or concentration (how clearly are the aspects noted?), and by the subtlety with which resemblances are noted (are the relations crude or delicate?). The important qualities of fancy are determined not by the acuity of sense organs, but by the entire character of a person's relation to the environment \u2013 a relation established through primary and secondary imagination.\n\nThis definition follows the water-insect passage; it partially explains how imagination, or the spontaneous level of will, can control the associative activity of fancy. Having looked at the definition first, we are better prepared to recognize how much more the metaphor suggests than the consecutive first reader may immediately recognize.\n\n... contemporaneity (Leibnitz's _Lex Continui_ ) is the _limit and condition_ of the laws of mind, itself being rather a law of matter, at least of phaenomena considered as material. At the utmost, it is to _thought_ the same, as the law of gravitation is to loco-motion.... Let us consider what we do when we leap. We first resist the gravitating power by an act purely voluntary, and then by another act, voluntary in part, we yield to it in order to light on the spot, which we had previously proposed to ourselves. Now let a man watch his mind while he is composing; or, to take a still more common case, while he is trying to recollect a name; and he will find the process completely analogous. Most of my readers will have observed a small water-insect on the surface or rivulets, which throws a cinque-spotted shadow fringed with prismatic colours on the sunny bottom of the brook; and will have noticed, how the little animal _wins_ its way up against the stream, by alternate pulses of active and passive motion, now resisting the current, and now yielding to it in order to gather strength and a momentary _fulcrum_ for a further propulsion. This is no unapt emblem of the mind's self-experience in the act of thinking. There are evidently two powers at work, which relatively to each other are active and passive; and this is not possible without an intermediate faculty, which is at once both active and passive. (In philosophical language, we must denominate this intermediate faculty in all its degrees and determinations, the IMAGINATION....) (I, 85\u20136)\n\nThe passage opens with a reference to gravity which, like the earlier reference (I, 30 n), asserts the _relative_ opposition of two forces between which imagination mediates. The passive aspect is sensation, which obeys laws of matter such as contemporaneity. The purely active pole is pure will (or pure reason). Despite the vivid sensual detail of the insect and its shadow, the description emphasizes not the creature itself, but its activity. It is easy to enjoy Coleridge's metaphors as rich ornament, but one dare not stop there.\n\nAs the swimming insect or the leaping person demonstrates, genuine synthesis requires that imagination share essential features with the active will and the relatively passive sense receptors. That is, the leaping body has both mass _and_ the capacity to resist gravity by virtue of the same essential property: muscle, skeleton, and nervous organization. In the same way, imagination's mediation cannot be a merely mechanical switching back and forth from activity to passivity, because then imagination would be no more than a title for the alternative dominance of one or the other over consciousness. Nothing so crude could possibly account for the delicately balanced unity that characterizes both geniuses' psyches and their works.\n\nHow does the imagination achieve its mediation between the active and passive aspects of mind? That is the question with which the consecutive first reader is left \u2013 that, and the image of progress via synthesis. This strategy provides a framework or a niche for the definition of imagination. This definition develops quite slowly until the image of synthesis reappears in the relative definitions of 'subject' and 'object' in chapter XII.\n\nLet me once again pause to preview Coleridge's answer to the question poised at this point. As I have already explained, imaginative synthesis consists partly in the relative passivity of primary imagination as perception, and partly in the activity of secondary imagination as it dissolves and reconstitutes perceptual unity and common consciousness. The whole issue arises in chapter VI because the imagination's synthesis _per se_ depends on the fancy's power to collect perceptions that have features in common, to assemble 'material' capable of synthesis into a whole by virtue of its fundamental interrelations. But, as the law of association points out, fancy cannot collect coherently except under specific direction. The other two analogies in this passage make the process quite clear. In trying to recollect a name, one summons to preconsciousness many scattered memories all of which have some bearing on the sought-for name. The secondary imagination seeks or creates the pattern in the memories that will reveal the name. Yet this creating is only theoretically distinguishable from the imagination's control of the recollecting or assembling performed by fancy, because the synthesis gets under way as soon as there is more than one 'datum' present. The 'Essays on Method' explain this more fully ( _F_ , I, 448\u2013524).\n\nThe process of composing demonstrates the same inseparable cooperation. Assembling materials can be mechanical and dull, yet clearly it is crucial. In any substantial investigation, knowing what to gather and where to look depends partly on logic and experience, but more centrally on intuition. The act of composing requires that one discover the pattern one has created, the pattern implicit and buried in the reams of notes. For this process to succeed, the writer's genius (that is, both imagination and, in the old sense, guiding spirit) must both fuse with and stand critically aside from what has been gathered. As many scholars have testified, one delight of the work is in discovering how central one's whimsical quests can prove to be. Such experiences would be far from delightful were it not for confidence that such whimsy is not blind chance but preconscious purpose. Whether poetry or prose, literature or literary criticism, imaginative works of any kind both resist and imitate the material world by means of the extraordinary care exercised by imagination through fancy in the selection of appropriate materials.\n\nMy point is that when Coleridge suggests, 'let a man watch...,' he expects that we will. Although fancy and imagination are distinct, imagination cannot operate without fancy any more than fancy can operate coherently without the focus or motive that will provides. This focus need not be imaginative, but it certainly can be. As Coleridge is quoted as saying, 'Genius must have talent as its complement and implement, just as, in like manner, imagination must have fancy. In short, the higher intellectual powers can only act through a corresponding energy of the lower' (7T, 20 August 1833). By interposing the activity of the water-insect and the other analogies in the definition of fancy, Coleridge sketches the interaction of fancy and imagination through images for it. The images function analogously to a statement of intent, yet only for the reader who knows to take them this seriously, and who is capable of carrying forward the cognitive range of a metaphor.\n\nThe definition of fancy as partial and dependent provokes curiosity concerning the powers that control fancy. This curiosity would have been even more keen for the sympathetic contemporary reader. By attributing all association to fancy, and then defining fancy as he does, Coleridge prepares ground for his own ideas about the mind. These begin to come to the foreground in chapter VIII.\n\nBut, before proceeding to chapter VIII, I should summarize one aspect of the issues in question. When Coleridge demotes 'association' from the title of an adequate philosophy to the name of one class of mental acts, he reopens the questions this popular philosophy had answered: What is perception? and What is thinking? One option is to reverse Lockean mental passivity, but this generates other, equally severe problems. The mind is neither absolutely active nor absolutely passive: as chapter VII concludes, there is the 'intermediate' or synthetic power of imagination \u2013 the spontaneous movement of mind that Mackintosh claims Hartley had explained. Chapter VIII's emphasis on dualism may seem tangential, because this word has not previously appeared. Yet Coleridge does not depart from his topic. He again delves beneath it, to the fundamental issue that has been shaping his counter-arguments all along: What is the relation between mind and external reality? He must answer this metaphysical question before answering the psychological ones; his fundamental disagreement with associationism is as much metaphysical as psychological.\n\nBut Coleridge himself had not yet answered the metaphysical question in strictly philosophical terms. (As McFarland has explained, a rigorous solution is not possible.) In the _Biographia_ , Coleridge does not attempt to close his system or to complete his argument formally. Completion is repeatedly deferred to the Logosophia, as we see for the first time in chapter VIII. As we shall see, in chapter X he offers instead a pair of assertions about faith and cognition: through the activity of faith, we have immediate knowledge of both a personal God and a real world of physical objects immediately known. Beyond these assertions, one finds only hints toward a philosophical construction. As these suggestions become more explicit, claims about the relative completeness of the Logosophia become more explicit as well.\n\nIn chapter VIII these hints are not very specific. The first two depend on Coleridge's prior critique of anonymous critics and the reading public. The speaker describes the possibility that body and spirit ' _may_ without any _absurdity_ be supposed to be different modes, or degrees in perfection, of a common substratum', but explains that this possibility was not 'the fashion' (I, 88). Yet fashion is hardly a reliable guide to philosophic truth. As Coleridge remarks elsewhere, 'From a popular philosophy and a philosophic populace, Good Sense deliver us!' A second, rhetorically similar hint emerges later: 'Leibnitz's doctrine of a pre-established harmony... was in its _common_ interpretation too strange to survive the inventor \u2013 too repugnant to our _common sense_ ; (which is not indeed entitled to a judicial voice in the courts of scientific philosophy, but whose whispers still exert a strong secret influence)' (I, 89). As he elsewhere explains, philosophic arguments 'can be of no permanent utility, while the authors themselves join in the vulgar appeal to common sense as the one infallible judge in matters, which become subjects of philosophy only, because they involve a contradiction between this common sense and our _moral_ instincts, and require therefore an arbiter, which containing both ( _eminenter_ ) must be higher than either' ( _LS_ , 110). Coleridge uses the accumulated pressure of his critique of 'popular' thinking to identify two philosophic ideas as viable: Leibnitzian pre-established harmony, and the common substratum of being and knowing.\n\nThe third hint is somewhat more difficult to explain. On the narrative level, as we shall see shortly, Coleridge in these chapters examines philosophy since Descartes and Hobbes as described by Mackintosh. Chapter VIII returns to Descartes. It briefly describes attempts to correct Descartes' erroneous supposition that mind and matter are absolutely heterogeneous, dividing these attempts into the unsuccessful and the unfashionable. This strategy delivers the speaker to an apparent dead end. No prior philosopher seems able to explain the relation between mind and physical reality. Yet he perseveres.\n\nBut it is not either the nature of man, or the duty of the philosopher to despair concerning any important problem until, as in the squaring of the circle, the impossibility of a solution has been demonstrated. (I, 89)\n\nThis statement shifts our attention from particular philosophies to the logical form of basic philosophic questions. It allows the speaker to formulate the question about mind and matter that 'the philosopher' seeks to answer, and thus to determine the necessary form of all possible answers. His formulation changes the question in crucial ways.\n\nHow the _esse_ , assumed as originally distinct from the _scire_ , can ever unite itself with it: how _being_ can transform itself into a _knowing_ , becomes conceivable on one only condition; namely, if it can be shown that the _vis representativa_ , or the Sentient, is itself a species of being; i.e. either as a property or attribute, or as an hypostasis or self subsistence. The former is, indeed, the assumption of materialism; a system which could not but be patronized by the philosopher, if only it actually performed what it promises. (I, 89\u201390)\n\nBy shifting the inquiry from mind and matter to knowing and being, Coleridge tries to sidestep the insolvable problems that radical dualisms pose. His answers represent one position \u2013 the 'hypostasis or self subsistence' of being and knowing \u2013 as the only remaining viable alternative.\n\nHe also reaches back to gather in the 'unfashionable' possibilities: these three hints tend in a single direction. Hypostasis or self-subsistence or common substratum (etymologically and historically related terms, generally speaking) all point to a pre-existent harmony between being and knowing. Chapter IX consolidates and clarifies the basic point Coleridge has asserted:\n\nThe term, Philosophy, defines itself as an affectionate seeking after the truth; but Truth is the correlative of Being. This again is [in] no way conceivable, but by assuming as a postulate, that both are _ab initio_ , identical and coinherent; _that intelligence and being are reciprocally each other's substrate_. (I, 94; my italics)\n\nAs the reference to hypostasis suggests, this is potentially a Neoplatonic and pantheist answer to the metaphysical question. But only potentially. 'Hypostasis' also translates into Latin and then English as 'person', and figures in theories of the Trinity. The subsequent reference to the Logosophia leaves no doubt about Coleridge's intention, although it provides no explanation of how this intent will be realized.\n\nThe strategy is designed to lead us to accept the substantial unity of being and knowing as both an orthodox and a necessary solution. He defers to the Logosophia only the proof for that which we should see as logically necessary. However irking for those who share Coleridge's interest in the philosophical grounds of literary theory, such a tactic is not formally unreasonable in a book with the _Biographia_ 's declared intent. Not every author is bound in every circumstance to trace the grounds of his argument back to first principles in metaphysics. Yet, because the speaker has rigorously examined Mackintosh's claims, we expect and demand equivalent rigor when he advances his own, alternative philosophy. We might tolerate the missing metaphysics had the speaker not already engaged metaphysical issues with such passion and in such detail. That earlier detail supplies the necessary grounds for the speaker's claim that his ideas are the only remaining viable ones, but the imbalance _per se_ threatens his credibility.\n\nThe reader is also apt to be disappointed by chapter VIII's brevity. Coleridge's prose is often highly condensed, because he richly utilizes the semantic powers of sentence structure and etymology. Such condensation merges with the genuine difficulty of his ideas and arguments to generate a stylistic surface that has been judged cryptic, or obscure, or impenetrable. Recent scholarship has sufficiently undercut those accusations: the need for generalized defense is past. What needs to be noted here is how Coleridge's _departure_ from his usual standards both provokes and justifies charges of obscurity. In chapter VIII undue brevity replaces condensation. The so-called hints tend to accumulate rather than develop; one finds redundance, not richness.\n\nOne easy explanation would suggest that the unusual brevity immediately reflects anxiety generated by pantheism and unresolved metaphysical questions. In reply, I would point to later places \u2013 to be examined in detail \u2013 that are far more pantheistic and yet masterfully managed. I prefer another explanation, if explanations be necessary. Coleridge appears to have lost for a time his concentered attention to a particular audience, because basic comprehension of the chapter requires recognizing the metaphysical and theological issues signaled by 'substratum', 'subsistence' and 'hypostasis'. Such is not the case generally in _Biographia Literaria_. Coleridge writes for an astute and attentive reader, but not one particularly learned in the history of philosophy and theology.\n\nThis lapse also reveals what I take to be a fundamental uncertainty underlying Coleridge's idea of his most probable audience. I have said that Coleridge writes for someone who firmly but unreflectively accepts the dominant Lockean psychology and metaphysics of his day. This expectation makes a sort of 'demographic' common sense, I grant: surely the majority of his contemporaries did accept this world-view; Wordsworth's poetry can strongly appeal to thoughtful empiricists (witness John Stuart Mill). But I wonder how likely it is that one who is _na\u00efvely_ empiricist will prove capable of thinking with the energy and rigor that the _Biographia_ demands. If one's own experience has never prompted dissatisfaction with Locke, will one possess the imaginative energy such thinking requires? And if one's experience has prompted dissatisfaction, then it is plausible that one will have read some other philosophy somewhere along the line, or that one will not be quite so persuadable as Coleridge seems to desire. Perhaps Coleridge's lapses into philosophically dense argument reveal a wavering doubt that there can exist a readership of capable, philosophically na\u00efve minds. It is as if he is just not sure how much philosophic sophistication to expect from his 'good readers', which may in turn reflect a reasonable fear that the right audience does not in fact exist. Perhaps his audience is as much an artful construct as his 'speaker'. Haven remarks that 'In the development of Coleridge's thought, the problem posed by the confrontation of Mariner and Wedding Guest is as important as the Mariner's experience itself'. This may prove true not only for Coleridge's thought, but also for his works. The ideal reader \u2013 the perfect Friend of the Friend \u2013 will both understand the technicalities and tolerate the postponed proof because he understands that symbolic realities cannot be demonstrated.\n\nColeridge's problem in imagining the right audience is no doubt a thorny one, given his times, and given the formally incomplete argument he has chosen to write. But abrupt changes such as chapter VIII must still be accounted serious flaws; he has entirely lost control of the useful contrast between good readers and Lockean blockheads. Some good readers will be perplexed by the chapter; others will find that it raises confusing questions about what level of philosophic rigor they should expect of this book generally. In his art as in his life, perhaps, Coleridge understood very little about how to elicit and to satisfy consistent, reasonable expectations from those around him. Or, conversely, disappointing expectations served some subterranean purpose of its own.\n\nThe major flaws of chapter VIII are recouped in the second paragraph of the next chapter, where Coleridge more solidly forges the link between Christian orthodoxy and the unity of being and knowing. Whatever its flaws, chapter VIII could not have been simply deleted: it summarizes materialism's failure, so as to close the preceding three chapters and to clarify those points on which future development depends. Preserving this numbered summary would have meant substantial rewriting of chapter VIII. Rather than rewrite, Coleridge repeats before proceeding, addressing once again the reader to whom earlier chapters have been addressed. Such repetitions are not at all characteristic, and may signal his recognition that chapter VIII is genuinely obscure.\n\nAs we have seen, the long discussion of fancy serves in part as a critique of contemporary associationist psychologies. This aspect of chapters V to VIII comes more fully into view if we examine them from the perspective of narrative continuity. Mackintosh's four claims reflect the speaker's perception of the philosophical _status quo_ in England. Given his early allegiance to Hartley, and the opening paragraph of chapter IX, these chapters also recount the first stages of his own philosophical development. Let me list Mackintosh's claims, for easier reference later.\n\n1 the 'law of association as established in the contemporaneity of the original impressions, formed the basis of all true psychology'\n\n2 'any ontological or metaphysical science, not contained in such (i.e. empirical) psychology, was but a web of abstractions and generalizations'\n\n3 Hobbes is 'the original _discoverer_ of this great law', while Hartley offers 'full application to the whole intellectual system'\n\n4 association is to the mind what gravitation is to matter (I, 67).\n\nThese objections, listed here in the order presented, are refuted as a group rather than individually. The only Mackintosh claim contextually emphasized concerns Hobbe's originality. One does not necessarily expect any further refutation of Mackintosh. Nor, more importantly, is it particularly evident in chapter V that the speaker fundamentally disagrees with associationism. His principal methodological criticisms could just as easily have led to a new and better associationist psychology. Although one might charge that Coleridge inadequately introduces the scope of things to come, what he introduces and how he begins suggest a reasonable respect for the power accruing to the ideas he would discredit.\n\nHis intent is not primarily to discredit Hobbes or Hartley or Mackintosh, but to discredit the domination of the material world over the mind by means of the sense organs, as advocated by the English empiricist tradition generally. His critique is not primarily ontological, not the argument that it is na\u00efve or inadequate to see reality as comprised of discrete independent objects impinging on passive human consciousness to generate our knowledge of things. On the contrary, this real world of independent objects immediately (but not passively) known remains a very English cornerstone in his system. The critique instead depends on an analysis of ordinary mental experience. As we have seen already, he consistently appeals to our knowledge of our minds rather than to our knowledge of things.\n\nHobbes is fitted into the table of distinctions through Mackintosh's claim that psychological association accounts for the _spontaneous_ activity of mind. But, as the speaker shows, Hobbesian theories deny genuine spontaneity by defining the mind as passive. When the speaker describes the imagination as spontaneous, he integrates himself into the table, and further clarifies his rivalry with Hobbes _et al_. Hobbes surrenders originality to Descartes and accuracy to Aristotle; the speaker credits him only with inventing a physiological mechanism that has no basis in fact and no power to account for the complexity of association _per se_. As Mackintosh, Shawcross and the family editors point out, this is hardly fair to Hobbes; but Coleridge may have quite complex motives here.\n\nColeridge refutes Hobbes so as to reshape the contemporary view of psychology. He wants to shift attention away from the popular (and persistent) misconception that psychology will achieve the spectacular practical results of the physical sciences by equating the real with the quantifiable or the visible, by making itself into a subordinate branch of mechanics or astronomy. By insisting that association has long been studied by philosophers, Coleridge focusses attention far more sharply on the specific recent innovations: physiological mechanisms. By discrediting the mechanisms, he can discredit associationism as a total psychology without denying its power to account for substantial areas of mental experience.\n\nHartley's mechanism is analyzed in a way that discredits any strict physiological mechanism: if they are strict or consistent, they deny will. By refuting Hartley's theory logically, experientially and morally, the speaker again asserts his criteria for philosophy. The logical refutation demonstrates well the Coleridgean difference between the conceivable and the visible (I, 74\u20136). If you visualize Hartley's mechanism as the balls on a billiard table, everything works beautifully. But if you realize that two different sensations must be two different vibrations, then it becomes impossible to understand how one vibration could ever directly propagate another vibration different from itself. Thinking of _acts_ (vibrating) as _things_ (billiard balls) leads only to mayhem. Coleridge refutes the mechanism by appeal to the distinction between visual and conceivable so as to prepare the reader for his own philosophic method: analyzing the _act_ of perceiving rather than the _things_ perceived. The difference proves crucial.\n\nI have already discussed the experimental refutations: the speaker denies the mental passivity inherent in Hartley's philosophy by appeal to the experience of psychological self-control, and the experience of personal agency. The refutation on moral grounds consists partly in the experiential appeal to personal agency, and partly in the argument that Hartley's apparently strict empiricism disallows any nonmaterial God. Moral values lose any ground but observable utility: doing good for its own sake loses meaning. Hartley's evident piety allows the speaker to renew the contrast between himself and anonymous critics: he distinguishes between the system's morality and the man's (I, 83\u20135). The distinction serves another purpose as well. It enforces the speaker's claim that bad ideas mislead good men. It underscores England's need for correct philosophy \u2013 a need argued at length in chapter X.\n\nWe have seen how the speaker responds to Mackintosh's first and third claims, concerning the validity of associationist psychology and the importance of these two figures. The speaker refutes Mackintosh's second claim by experiential arguments that turn the same charge against Hartley: his metaphysics is but 'a web of abstractions and generalizations' that both morals and concrete experience disprove. The fourth claim (association: mind::gravity:matter) restates the second claim within a different metaphor, one that emphasizes again Coleridge's disagreement with a falsely grounded imitation of physical science in the sciences of mind. A law of the mind will be found in the mind, not in the relations of material bodies: philosophers must remember the difference between things and thoughts.\n\nA law of mind will also not be found in the relations between the central nervous system and its environment. Chapter VIII highlights this underlying disagreement with the English tradition, which to the speaker represents one set of attempts to amend Descartes' erroneously absolute distinction between mind and matter. As we have seen, the chapter's first two paragraphs divide emendations into the unsuccessful and the unpopular. The speaker proposes instead that the question be located within the mind, as the relation of being and knowing, rather than outside the mind, as the relation of mind and matter.\n\nMaterialism generally \u2013 and mechanist associationism in particular \u2013 may at first appear to locate the question properly, because it regards knowing as an attribute of being. But the speaker argues that this is not the case. Consistent materialism replaces dualism with monism, but it is an object-dominated monism. Everything is absorbed in the material; the mind is reduced to passive neural mechanisms. This amounts to a denial of real individual existence, a denial logically prior to the denials of moral responsibility and suprasensible realities that we examined earlier. As I commented earlier, Spinoza stands in the shadows. It was he who demonstrated the necessity of these consequences from materialism; 'hylozoism' was Cudworth's veiled term for the argument of Spinoza's _Ethics_. As McFarland's _Coleridge and the Pantheist Tradition_ so persuasively argues, Spinoza's importance to Coleridge cannot be underestimated. Spinoza informs and enlivens Coleridge's opposition to the English materialist tradition \u2013 an opposition everywhere present in _Biographia Literaria_.\n\nThe chapter concludes with a numbered list of objections to any associationist psychology that is dependent upon a materialist epistemology (I, 92). These objections reflect and counter-balance Mackintosh's claims. They also concenter reader attention on the problem of perception. What is it? How is it possible? What may be known? These are the questions taken up in chapter IX as Coleridge begins to define the most fundamental synthesis achieved through imagination: the synthesis of being and knowing in perception and common consciousness. The complexity and apparent indirectness of chapters IX to XI derive from his attempt to describe this synthesis within the context of issues we have seen to this point: the contrast of geniuses and fanatics, with all that involves; the various activities or 'levels' of will, and how they are coordinate; the moral and ontological consequences of suprasensible will; the cultural conflict between true philosophy and its 'popular' counterparts. These issues remain so much in the foreground because the formal definition of the unity of being and knowing, and in particular _how_ that definition unifies his positions on these issues, will be repeatedly deferred to the Logosophia. It is only by interweaving these issues that the speaker can explain the unity of being and knowing without verging into formal metaphysics. We see more of the practical consequences than of the theoretical bases. _Biographia Literaria_ is an unrelentingly practical book.\n\n# **4 Imagination's Synthesis of Being and Knowing**\n\n> Truth is a good dog; but beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.\n> \n> _Table Talk_ , 7 June 1830\n\nColeridge often relies on such symmetries as the contrasts of genius and fanatic, or objective and subjective aspects of an issue. As one recognizes his favorite symmetries, the prose works become easier to follow. Chapters IX, X and XI demonstrate how such symmetries are multiplied as the _Biographia_ progresses. Yet many readers find these chapters inconsequent. Such judgments arise, I suggest, not from a lack of unity and relation, but from an excess.\n\nIn chapters V to VIII the speaker criticizes philosophies he does not accept; in chapter IX he praises those he does. The earlier chapters contrast the methods of ancient and modern philosophers; the later chapters renew the contrast to define the true modern heirs of ancient wisdom. Chapters I to IV contrast genial poetry and pseudo-poetry, with passing reference to the qualities shared by genial poetry and genial philosophy (see, e.g., I, 59\u201360). Chapters V to XI contrast genial and pseudo-philosophy (whether political philosophy, philosophy of mind, or philosophy of religion), with passing reference to qualities shared by genial poets and genial philosophers (see, e.g., I, 140). Chapters X and XI also develop the contrast between geniuses and fanatics. The earlier chapters principally contrasted their personalities, with secondary emphasis on their works. These later chapters reverse the emphasis. The genius imaginatively synthesizes the relatively active and relatively passive aspects of human nature to arrive at permanent principles, the foundation of true national harmony and well-being. The fanatic exists always at an extreme, provoking repression and revolution, because his dependence on sensation generates political notions as inadequate as the philosophic notions criticized in chapters V to VIII.\n\nThis abundance of relations can be confusing because the issues are not arranged in a distinct system. Instead, particular issues relate to each other primarily through a common relation to Coleridge's central contention that the mind is active. Although that contention is closely related to his argument about imagination, and imaginative power is crucial for insight of any sort, Coleridge provides relatively few direct links between imagination and these autobiographical anecdotes. He seems to expect that his readers will share something of his own extraordinary gift for seizing immediately the generative idea underlying any argument or any illustration, however elaborate. Yet the length and associative flow of these chapters can make that a difficult task. The readers most seriously interested in Coleridge's ideas may grow impatient with the loquacious speaker, however entertaining he may be at times. But, once having grasped the idea of will in its relation to imagination, the _Biographia_ 's reader principally needs a memory tenacious enough (or a notebook large enough) to keep track of all the issues that this idea shapes. Let me begin by collecting and interrelating the major ideas of these chapters, so that I can, later on, show how the funny stories and widely ranging illustrations are designed to explain, to justify and to emphasize these ideas.\n\nThe first of these is Coleridge's idea of philosophy. The opening paragraph of chapter IX restates and develops the speaker's encounter with an apparent dead end so as to extend his redefinition of the philosopher's central question into a redefinition of philosophy itself. Limiting inquiry to empirical procedures \u2013 observe, collect, classify \u2013 would be a 'wilful resignation of intellect' that results in the destruction of all ideas of cause and effect (I, 93\u20134). Causality has already been featured as a principal moral concern: without valid causality, there is no valid moral responsibility (I, 82\u20133). If we are to understand experience, and intelligibly defend or ground our belief in personal agency, we must (like Kant) discern and study 'the antecedents, that must be presupposed in order to render experience itself possible' (I, 94).\n\nBut philosophy is not just the science of antecedents to experience. It is also 'an affectionate seeking after the truth' (I, 94). It engages both intellect and passions. Philosophy, like poetry, is the work of the whole person. This fact requires or generates another postulate, that 'Truth', or knowing, and 'Being... are _ab initio_ , identical and coinherent; that intelligence and being are reciprocally each other's substrate' (I, 94). As I noted in the last chapter, this postulate resolves the major problems posed in chapter VIII; being can transform itself into knowing because the _esse_ and the _scire_ are not originally distinct but, rather, originally identical and coinherent.\n\nColeridge's justification for this postulate assimilates scholastic theology, neoplatonism, Descartes and post-Kantean analyses of consciousness. All of these point to the truth, _'Cogito quia sum, et sum quia cogito_ '. That is, in consciousness itself, or as the basic act of consciousness, we find affirmation that knowing and being are one. (Here, and more emphatically later, Coleridge differs from Schelling in closely linking the psychological or human union with the simultaneity of knowing and being in God.) The remainder of chapter IX and all of chapter X explain how the unity of being and knowing in consciousness is evident in various human activities: philosophy itself, politics, journalism, history and religion. Only when these practical consequences have been presented \u2013 and copiously illustrated \u2013 does Coleridge attempt a formal derivation of the unity. As he does in chapter VIII, Coleridge presents this derivation as a partial and incomplete proof of something already known to be true.\n\nColeridge most forcefully urges the necessity of this psychic or moral unity in philosophy itself. Unless philosophy engage the whole person, unless it be true to the union of being and knowing that it would explore, philosophy reduces itself to academic word-games. (And, unless this integrity be noted and remembered in Coleridge's own writing, he appears to be a pantheist, a submerged materialist and atheist \u2013 as he undoubtedly realized.) The speaker praises ill-educated but imaginative mystics in part to make this point: despite their inadequate explanations, these men possessed truths that academicians did not. The writings of mystics 'acted in no slight degree to prevent [his] mind from being imprisoned within the outline of any single dogmatic system. They contributed to keep alive the _heart_ in the _head_ ' and to lead him to the intuition that 'all the products of the mere _reflective_ faculty [i.e., understanding] partook of DEATH' (I, 98). Because the existence of will cannot be formally or logically proven, no strictly logical or 'closed' or 'dogmatic' system can include it. Yet a philosophy that denies or neglects will also denies or neglects our spiritual nature. All logically self-contained philosophic systems are pantheist:\n\nThe inevitable result of all consequent Reasoning, in which the Intellect refuses to acknowledge a higher or deeper ground than it can itself supply, and weens to possess within itself the center of its own System, is \u2013 and from Zeno the Eleatic to Spinoza and from Spinoza to the Schellings, Okens, and their adherents, of the present day, ever has been \u2013 PANTHEISM under one or another of its modes.... ( _F_ , I, 523 n)\n\nThe most a philosophic system can do is demonstrate, more or less as Kant did with the categorical forms, the necessity of postulating such a power. None the less, the actual necessity of postulating will derives not from abstract logical argument, but from the fabric of mental and physical experience. The Logosophia was to supply a very important proof, but not the crucial one. The logically _and morally_ prior demonstration of the need to postulate will derives from an examination of ordinary experience. Coleridge provides this partly in _Biographia Literaria_ , and more formally in _Aids to Reflection_.\n\nTo summarize: philosophy engages the whole person, and postulates both the twelve categorical forms and the unity of being and knowing. The revision of the _cogito_ and (in reference to Fichte) the assertion that philosophy must begin 'with an _act_ , instead of a _thing_ or _substance'_ (I, 101) suggest that the act in question is 'the mind's self-experience in the act of thinking' \u2013 the act of imagination (I, 86). In self-consciousness, the act of knowing and the state of being are simultaneous and identical. Coleridge has already urged that we take our consciousness of personal agency as evidence that causality is no chimera: the categorical forms are evident in consciousness or thought, not in things.\n\nThe second major idea defined in these chapters concerns the value, and the imaginative origins, of principles. Coleridge begins by accommodating his sketchy definition of imagination both to the definition of truth and to the union of being and knowing that were outlined in chapter VIII and the first part of IX. By defining imagination as ' _esemplastic_ ', Coleridge frees the term from its usual place in aesthetic theories derived from Locke. The subsequent discussion of pedantic expressions provides some vocabulary for distinguishing the relatively active from the relatively passive, or our knowledge of thoughts from our knowledge of things.\n\n_Knowing_ | _Being_  \n---|---  \nthe thought, or act of thinking | a thought, or the object of reflection  \nintuitive | sensuous  \nsubjective | objective  \nperceiver | perceived  \nReason | Understanding\n\nThese are the relatively opposite powers and aspects of experience that imagination fuses into the unity of common consciousness, and the unity of perception.\n\nThis table underlies chapter X's discussion of principles because it amplifies the defiinition of truth as the union of knowing and being, or \u2013 more concretely \u2013 as the union of perceiving mind and perceived thing or situation. Truth, like consciousness, is a mode of relation whose _esse_ is _percipi_ : to speak of the true and the false (as distinct from the actual and the nonexistent) is to define a relation between perceiver and perceived. Principles as well as poems thus depend upon the synthetic activity of imagination. Genial inquiry derives from principles not opinion, or it seeks to establish principles where opinion had held sway. Anonymous criticism is unprincipled in both senses of the word: it derives from opinion, politics and personality; and it seeks pernicious and sometimes immoral ends. The ongoing contrast between philosophic inquirers and anonymous critics rises again into the foreground in these chapters: autobiography proceeds side by side with a sustained account of imagination's role in various aspects of philosophic quests of several kinds.\n\nFinally, in these chapters the speaker defines the major idea of his own epistemology: under certain circumstances, the fact that something is _perceived_ must be taken as evidence that it _is_. Under certain circumstances, the unity of being and knowing in consciousness extends to an analogous unity between human knowing and independently objective being. The circumstances? That the realities perceived are not objects of the senses, and that there is 'the absence of all motive to doubt' (or that 'the law or conscience peremptorily commands' belief in) the reality thus asserted (I, 133, 135).\n\nThe speaker defines only two elements of this set: things in themselves, and the personality of God (I, 132\u20136). Coleridge here assimilates the epistemological and metaphysical problem of things in themselves to the theological problem of God's personality, so as to draw on religious traditions in support of his position. As a result, however, conscience bears an enormous philosophic burden: the theoretical ground for material reality becomes the judgment by conscience that the doubt is contra-natural ('wrong' in both senses). In short, the imaginative synthesis of being and knowing provides direct access both to God and to the real world. It establishes the twin poles of Coleridge's philosophy, the 'I am' and 'it is'. Yet, since logic cannot prove the reality of these two poles, imagination assumes another crucial task. It is also the power whereby the philosophic mind recognizes this state of affairs. That is, primary imagination knows God and the real world: secondary imagination knows that such knowledge is the work of imagination (not of the senses alone), and knows further that it is valid although not subject to logical proof.\n\nLet us step back for a moment, to see where we have come. Six chapters ago, at the end of chapter IV, the speaker resolved to understand and to explain imagination as Wordsworth had revealed it. True to his character, he begins by investigating answers others had found. These progressively sharpen his sense (and ours) of the answer he is seeking. Chapters VII, VIII and IX begin to formulate this answer: knowing and being are originally identical and coinherent; relatively to each other they are active and passive; this coinherence requires a faculty both active and passive that synthesizes the two into the unities of thought and thinking, or perception and consciousness. This is conceivable as a psychology, but will it do as a metaphysics? As we have just seen, the speaker discovers that genuine philosophy itself requires imagination. It takes imagination to understand imagination. The scheme works as a metaphysics only if we can give equal weight to sensuous and suprasensuous knowledge, if we can both allow _and allow for_ the differences between the two kinds of knowledge.\n\nColeridge's philosophic and rhetorical strategy here needs to be examined closely. In accordance with the autobiographical character of _Biographia Literaria_ , the speaker's experiences and recognitions are given. Intuitive certainty concerning God and things in themselves is explicitly such a personal recognition, and no more: the speaker realizes that 'this must be the case', but offers no supporting argument. At most, he draws on the Bible and Christian tradition to suggest that such a resolution has long been available within Christianity, or that he has just recognized the need for a truth long taught by the Christian churches. But he presents this as no more than a brief demonstration of consistency with received doctrine, not as a proof. When the Christian God and things-in-themselves reappear in chapter XII as facts, they are presented as conclusions from a proof to be presented in the Logosophia. This strategy \u2013 or sleight of hand \u2013 clearly reveals the artifice of the _Biographia_ 's autobiography. Coleridge can be intimately personal in his self-revelations when these serve his argument; less 'useful' personal facts from his complex experience are not included. Only an autobiographical form could have allowed two major assertions to be so distinctly limited without the limiting itself suggesting either authorial uncertainty or a mindlessly passive acceptance of religious doctrine.\n\nOn philosophic grounds, it is true that observation cannot, by definition, prove the existence of a material reality correspondent to sensation. An epistemology that begins with a rigorous distinction between the thing as we know it and the thing itself has generated a philosophical Humpty Dumpty. And theology has discarded formal proofs of God as incompatible with genuine faith. As McFarland has argued at length, these two great poles of human experience \u2013 the real conscious spirit and the real natural world \u2013 are always initial assumptions. Whether or not one accepts a philosophy so explicitly grounded in such complex forms of these assumptions, one cannot dismiss Coleridge's position as facile or amateur. Coleridge argues that faith nourishes the rational understanding, and that spiritual knowledge follows from natural knowledge, but this does not mean that all humanly important truths are capable of logical proof.\n\nThe philosophic argument of chapters IX and X is not difficult when its major ideas are separated like this from the wealth of anecdote and history. Yet this raises a question more or less submerged until now: how does the narrative aspect of _Biographia Literaria_ complement the philosophic aspect? More specifically, how does narrative chronology direct the reader's attention to these scattered philosophic points? The narrative successfully modulates emphasis through the consistency of the speaker's character, as this informs his relations with other thinkers and with his contemporaries.\n\nThe clearest instances are in chapter IX, where the speaker once again gratefully attributes to others the ideas that ground his theory of imagination. Once again, such attributes are paired with strong claims about the truth or value of the acquired insight. The elder speaker is more critical of his 'teachers' than the younger man had been: his evaluative comments about mystics and German philosophers interrelate the ideas he learns from each of them.\n\nAs we have seen, the first two paragraphs make explicit the philosophic basis of the speaker's position in chapters V to VIII. The inadequacy of strict empiricism demonstrates the need to postulate suprasensible realities such as causality, and thereby leads the speaker to accept Kant's explanation of the categorical forms and the function of understanding. The host of major philosophers who 'all contributed to prepare [his] mind for the reception and the welcoming' of the substantial unity of being and knowing (both in consciousness and in God) reinforce the traditional authority and thus, for the speaker, the validity of this idea. Earlier he had recognized it only hypothetically, but now further study confirms his belief.\n\nThe remainder of the chapter explores the proper relation of knowing (reason, or self as act) to being (understanding, or self as agent) through commentary on the degree of balance achieved by the mystics, Kant, Fichte and Schelling. Both Fichte and the mystics, unlike either fanatics or professional academicians (always a suspect group, especially in _Biographia Literaria_ ) penetrate to important truths about reason; directly or indirectly, both are described as imaginative. Yet both neglect understanding and the beautiful physical world that it knows \u2013 the mystics through lack of education, Fichte through an inability to synthesize his knowledge of intuitive reason with an equally sophisticated knowledge of perception. Attention to the terms of praise reveals both the priority of reason (or will) and the philosophic importance of recognizing its priority. The intuitive reason is 'the inmost centre, from which all the lines of knowledge diverge to their ever distant circumference' (I, 96). It is the foundation on which all certain knowledge ultimately rests. Furthermore, only a philosophy recognizing this fact will be 'truly systematic: (i.e. having its spring and principle within itself)'; only such a system will be 'truly metaphysical' rather than heartless and 'dogmatic' (I, 101, 98), progressively unfolding the richness of its central idea or symbol. By praising Fichte's beginning with an act, not a thing or substance, the speaker contradistinguishes him from materialists who reduce everything to substance and deny the possibility of genuine mental activity (or will). This, too, identifies Fichte's position with the speaker's. The commentary on Fichte and the mystics directs the reader to essential features of Coleridge's philosophy, provided one has learned how (and why) the speaker judges and expresses his judgments.\n\nThis is more emphatically true for the commentary on Kant. Kant 'at once invigorated and disciplined [his] understanding'; the speaker was awed, among other things, by 'the adamantine chain of the logic' (I, 99). Such praise elevates Kant's analysis of the constitutive powers of understanding to a point beyond question: this is true; this is the defense of causality so necessary for a coherent and moral world-view. The speaker also argues that Kant's work on morals 'assume[s] a higher ground (the autonomy of the will) as a POSTULATE deducible from... the conscience' (I, 99), thereby claiming that Kant recognized (the speaker's views concerning) the cognitive and epistemological significance of will and conscience. Such a position is not clearer in Kant's works, the speaker explains, because a justified fear of persecution by fanatics led him to write ' _mythically_ or equivocally' (I, 100). This strategy allows the speaker to draw on the authority of Kant in support of those ideas which distinguish his own beliefs from a Schellingean pantheism. Kant's role is analogous to Aristotle's: he is a revered authority whose ideas the speaker 'clarifies', praises and assimilates.\n\nThe praise of Schelling is as unqualified as the praise of Kant or Aristotle, and once again based on major reinterpretation or adaptation. Like Schelling, the speaker proposes to complete Kant's work, to explain what Kant knew but dared not say. Yet this completing belongs to Logosophia, not _Biographia Literaria_ (see I, 102): the unity of being and knowing as a metaphysical issue deserves separate study. The speaker's intent is more practical: To me it will be happiness and honor enough, should I succeed in rendering the system itself intelligible to my countrymen, and in the application of it to the most awful of subjects for the most important of purposes' (I, 104). To this end, we need only know that a correct analysis of being discovers the need to postulate spiritual knowledge, and that a correct analysis of knowing discovers the need to postulate a real world immediately known, to avoid a 'hyperstoic hostility to NATURE' (I, 102). Such studies have shown the speaker that imagination's synthesis must be faithful both to God and to nature \u2013 and thus to man. The Voluntary' at chapter's end reminds us that such genuinely imaginative inquiry must expect a small audience (I, 105\u20136).\n\nChapter X divides the years from 1796 to roughly 1804 into five periods demarked by both geographical moves and changing endeavors: _The Watchman_ ; Nether Stowey and poetry; 'a cottage in Somersetshire' and morals; Germany and German literature and philosophy; and finally London and the _Morning Post_ , In the first period, the tales of his campaign for subscribers enforce again the speaker's diminished sense of self and self-importance, his imprudence, and his devotion to duty. The 'exemplary old clergyman' story renews the contrast between the serene, learned philosopher and the irascible ignorant reviewer. The speaker fails at magazine writing himself, because he refuses to swear absolute allegiance to either political extreme. He watches his efforts literally go up in smoke, and wryly concludes that he is not a popular writer. Although _The Watchman_ is portrayed as a madcap adventure doomed from the start, its fate demonstrates the social power of fanatical party spirit.\n\nAs the stories of the second period illustrate, fanaticism does more than squelch small moderate periodicals: it also threatens the liberties of Englishmen. Both English and Continental history further demonstrate the violence elicited by fanatics. Yet the innkeeper and, ultimately, even Spy Nozy himself reveal the fundamental decency of ordinary people. Fanaticism, however dangerous, is an aberration of the powerful, not a character of the English people. Despite the delightful comedy of the speaker's stories, England's present relative tranquility is a fragile thing for which substantial thanks are due to Edmund Burke.\n\nIn such a context, the fact that the speaker's intellectual maturing culminates in his own advocacy of principles (in the fifth period) should be taken as clear evidence that he, too, has some measure of genial power. The evidence from personality in the earlier chapters is matched here by more substantial proof. His persecution, like that of the genial figures in chapter IX only further demonstrates the dangerous ascendancy of the least capable minds (see especially I, 31\u20132; I, 148\u201351). The speaker's grim recognition of this ascendancy triggers a crisis in the third period, 'and it was long ere [his] ark touched on an Ararat, and rested' (I, 133). This crisis \u2013 doubting not only God, but also any substantial reality \u2013 leads him to recognize that fundamental truths in morals (and in epistemology) cannot be 'wholly independent of the will' (I, 135). Absolute proof is not possible. The frustrations, failure and political violence recorded in the chapter's anecdotes and histories sharply focus our attention on this crisis and its resolution because the hapless, good-hearted speaker naturally wins our sympathy.\n\nIn chapter XII the speaker neatly summarizes his conclusions from such experiences:\n\nBut it is time to tell the truth; though it requires some courage to avow it in an age and country, in which disquisitions on all subjects, not privileged to adopt technical terms or scientific symbols, must be addressed to the PUBLIC. I say, then, that it is neither possible or necessary for all men, or for many, to be PHILOSOPHERS. (I, 163\u20134)\n\nThe speaker pleads that we defer judgment until we understand what he is trying to explain; yet paradoxically the _Biographia_ 's most difficult philosophy is his subsequent analysis of self-consciousness to explain why it is rare, and why important. His descriptions in chapter XII of the unconscious multitude who will not comprehend his philosophy summarizes all the accusations previously made about their materialism, and their generalized hostility to abstract and rigorous thought (I, 160\u20134; I, 188\u201394). The speaker thus strives to protect himself from the kinds of criticism and miscomprehension that were his lot during the years described in chapter X: he gives up on one set of readers to appeal exclusively to the 'good reader' who has been postulated all along as the sympathetic audience to his complaints about the times.\n\nChapter XI is addressed to young male members of this properly attentive and thoughtful audience. The chapter focusses the two related contrasts, speaker-populace and speaker-fanatic. The supposed audience the chapter advises are the kind of men who supported and understood the speaker's fruitless endeavors as recounted in chapter X. They are the ones who should read chapter XIII, had the overwhelming numbers of thoughtless readers not effectively 'prevented' its publication. Such astute readers, like the speaker himself, form a culturally invaluable bulwark against fanaticism: the speaker advises that young men in this group avoid his imprudent ventures into journalism, and accept positions in the Church of England. Chapter XI's description of the good they may accomplish reappears later in _On the Constitution of Church and State_ (pp. 42\u201376); the need to protect the people at large from fanaticism's influence remains a major concern of Coleridge. Even in the _Biographia_ , the contrast between the genius and the fanatic is developed in far more detail than the theory of imagination alone requires. The conflict over _Lyrical Ballads_ is but one sign of a most serious national _malaise_.\n\nThe chapter's advice to serious writers \u2013 'drawn from my own dear-bought experience' \u2013 draws imagination's _spontaneity_ into the foreground again ( _CL_ , IV, 633). The writer who tries to force the Muse, and the writer who reads and thinks only to publish, will both benumb their creative powers, because the end of imagination is comprised in the means. Imagination is an act, not a tool. Chapters VIII to X have emphasized imagination's synthesis more than its spontaneity, but this aspect of imagination comes again into the light in chapter XII.\n\n# **5 Imagination, Philosophic Consciousness and the 'True and Original Realism'**\n\n> But what are my metaphysics? merely the referring of the mind to its own consciousness for truths indispensable to its own happiness! To what purposes do I, or am I about to employ them? To perplex our clearest notions and living moral instincts? To deaden the feelings of will and free power, to extinguish the light of love and of conscience, to make myself and others worthless, soul-less, God-less? No! to expose the folly and the legerdemain of those who have thus abused the blessed machine of language; to support all old and venerable truths; and by them support, to kindle, to project the spirit; to make the reason spread light over our feelings, to make our feelings, with their vital warmth, actualize our reason: \u2013 these are my objects, these are my subjects, and are these the metaphysics which the bad spirits in hell delight in?\n> \n> _The Friend_ , I, 108\n\nChapters XII and XIII are the most difficult in the _Biographia_. They are the most dense philosophically, the least conventional rhetorically, and the most controversial. Chapter XIII's 'letter from a friend' and its 'missing' philosophical construction have angered or frustrated even the most sympathetic readers. They seem incontrovertible evidence that the _Biographia_ is a fragmentary failure. Although the chapter is undeniably peculiar, and in many ways unsuccessful in achieving its rhetorical goals, the 'missing' construction does not directly and absolutely destroy the integrity of the work as a whole. And even more mystifying than this 'gap' is Coleridge's rewriting of extensive passages from Schelling, as he bends Schelling's arguments and methods to his own, different ends. Elinor Stoneman Shaffer has studied these changes in great detail, and I am indebted to her lucid and graceful explications of the complex technical issues involved. As Kathleen Coburn has observed in her notes to the notebook drafts and translations that also underlie the chapter, much work remains to be done on Coleridge's debt to and divergence from Schelling in these pages. My premise in explicating the design of these two chapters has been that the study of their contexts in the _Biographia_ itself is reciprocally necessary to comparative studies, and yet \u2013 for practical reasons of coherence and readability \u2013 a distinct endeavor at this stage.\n\nYet a few remarks are in order. Many discussions of Coleridge's debt to Schelling in these chapters refer in passing to changes and deletions, as if these were insignificant overall, or as if they represented little more than his misunderstanding of the German philosopher. But such is not the case. Philosophical argument is a delicate thing: small changes can have large consequences. And some of Coleridge's changes are far from minor. As Shaffer demonstrates in detail:\n\nThe fact that [Coleridge] often adopted whole phrases and passages literally is deceptive; the spirit, if not the letter, has been altered. So in this instance: while quoting, compressing, and summarizing Schelling, Coleridge criticizes him in essential respects. The scandal of these pages in the _Biographia_ is not that they are based on Schelling, but that to a reader unacquainted with Schelling's treatise they must remain obscure, if not totally unintelligible.... Read against his texts in Schelling, Coleridge's Chapters XII and XIII appear as a cunning reduction of Schelling's elaborate _System_ , and a sturdy dissent from it. ('Coleridge's aesthetics', p. 4)\n\nColeridge himself later judged these chapters 'unformed and immature'. They contain, he said, 'the fragments of the truth, but it is not fully thought out' ( _TT_ , 28 June 1834). Substantial portions are revised and incorporated in later works; the changes inevitably clarify, and sometimes develop, but never change the principal idea.\n\nThe general tendency of Coleridge's dissent from Schelling can be explained briefly (see 'Coleridge's aesthetics', pp. 50\u20131). Schelling's _System des transzendentalen Idealismus_ traces the stages whereby the Ich creates the entire world of objects through its knowledge of itself. Schelling justifies our certainty that there exists a real world by trying to prove that the proposition 'things exist' is ultimately identical with the proposition 'I am'. But, according to Schelling, we know only sensations, not things themselves \u2013 a position with which Coleridge sharply disagrees (I, 92\u20133, 178\u20139, 100). He also disagrees with Schelling's collapse of the world into the self: for Coleridge our certainty that things exist is independent of, not grounded in, our certainty of self. Shaffer summarizes Coleridge's disagreement well: 'The belief in the external world... is an assumption required by the nature of consciousness or the \"I am\" itself. It is, equally with the self, groundless because it is fundamental' ('Coleridge's aesthetics', p. 26). In short, although Coleridge incorporates parts of Schelling's explanation of the mind-world relation, he defines this relation in a substantially different way. He also avoids the dialectical logic whereby Schelling demonstrates the identity of the two propositions, an argument Shaffer judges 'highly dubious' ('Coleridge's aesthetics', p. 33). Schelling invents a special faculty capable of knowing the identity of these two propositions; Coleridge rejects this, too, asserting that the philosophic or secondary imagination differs only in degree from powers possessed by all people, and that conscience demonstrates the capacity for such imagination in everyone. Finally, Coleridge transforms Schelling's 'self-consciousness in general' to God. The consequences of that change are evident less in this local argument about things themselves than in the _Biographia's_ larger concern with the nature and value of poetry.\n\nGiven these substantial differences, what attracted Coleridge to the _System_? Why bother struggling to rewrite a philosophy so profoundly uncongenial? One aspect of Schelling's view of art deeply attracted Coleridge. Schelling's work implies that 'a successful piece of philosophy must itself be a work of art, or carry no conviction: its intuitions will be doubted. A piece of art must in turn illustrate intuitions worthy of philosophy. \"Philosophic criticism\" had indeed come into its own, and art achieved a staggering dignity' ('Coleridge's aesthetics', p. 16). For Schelling, a work of art most translucently reveals the mind's range of powers: artistry is the highest human act, and the greatest human achievement. It is not pleasant escape from sterner labors, but the most profoundly important of our endeavors. Furthermore, Schelling's insistence on the 'act of freedom' underlying the identity of the two propositions easily merges with Coleridge's idea that the conscience testifies to our moral freedom \u2013 thus linking art not only with philosophy, but also with religion. Thus, Schelling's philosophy reaches a point Coleridge sought, but by means Coleridge rejected. The incorporations and revisions in Chapters XII and XIII seek the same ends by less radical, less pantheistic means, in part by introducing the ancient mystery of the one and the many in a Christianized form.\n\nIn design, chapter XII is a long parenthetical remark. The speaker explains why the multitude whom popular authors address will find chapter XIII incomprehensible, but in doing so he defines the core of his own epistemology in an unrelentingly technical and abstruse argument. Yet, despite the chapter's difficulty, it offers very few new ideas. Principally it summarizes the philosophical arguments of the first eleven chapters, defining or making explicit the relations among ideas presented earlier. Understanding the chapter requires no unravelling of peculiar structures or ineffective transitions but, rather, continually monitoring its allusions and relations to the earlier chapters \u2013 connections without which its minimal comprehensibility slides back into utter obscurity.\n\nBefore examining the chapter in detail, let me again preview Coleridge's argument. The chapter can be divided into four parts. The first (I, 164\u201374) explains that only some individuals can attain self-consciousness, although the capacity is at least latent in all. Self-consciousness is identified as intuitive, imaginative and the basis for the certainty of all knowledge; it is the proper domain of pure philosophy. Complex geometrical metaphors, delicately rewritten from Schelling, reveal that self-consciousness results from the 'spontaneous' level of will's operation.\n\nThe second section (I, 174\u201380) asks again what chapter VIII asked: how is perception possible? It establishes a context for this question by defining 'subjective' as essentially active and conscious, and 'objective' as essentially passive and without consciousness, and by defining a correlative distinction between pure philosophy and natural philosophy. In a cryptic and stylistically tangled paragraph, the speaker asserts the central assumption of his transcendental philosophy: perception is possible because our knowledge of external reality is 'unconsciously involved' in our knowledge of ourselves. This is but another formulation of chapter VIII's hypothesis that knowing and being are originally a unity; this new formulation emphasizes that perception must be the work of imagination, just as self-consciousness is. Not until chapter XIII, however, does Coleridge distinguish these two functions as 'primary' and 'secondary' operations of imagination. The speaker explains that the Logosophia will provide 'the demonstrations and constructions' of this philosophy. For his present purposes \u2013 defining 'the principles of production and of genial criticism in the fine arts' \u2013 explanation not demonstration will suffice (I, 180).\n\nIn the third section (I, 180\u20131), the ten theses attempt to offer this explanation. Most of them do little more than collect and summarize points made in earlier chapters, fitting these ideas into the general framework provided in the first two parts of chapter XII. We reach the heart of the matter in Thesis VII. If it could be proved that the certainty of all knowledge must derive from the certainty of the logical identity 'I know me' \u2013 i.e. from the imaginative act of self-consciousness \u2013 then we could be assured of the certainty of all genuinely immediate, intuitive, supra-sensuous knowledge. We could be thus assured because all intuitive knowledge is knowledge of the fundamental unity of knowing and being. This does not, of course, _solve_ the problem of perception: it does not proceed beyond chapter X's point that the 'constitution of the mind' renders it morally impossible to doubt the existence of a real world correspondent to sense-impressions (see I, 132\u20136). Only the Logosophia is to attempt to prove what the _Biographia_ awkwardly and provisionally sketches.\n\nThesis VII is as cryptic and tangled as the central paragraph of the second section: Coleridge is trying to revise Schelling's account of 'unconscious involvement' into something sharply different. Schelling's argument depends upon an esoteric faculty that none the less provides us \u2013 the incapacitated, ordinary intellects \u2013 with our only accurate information about the fundamental character of reality. Coleridge's imagination, on the other hand, is a power that all possess at least potentially. Thesis VII merely validates or provides the means to validate the 'true and original realism' that is 'common to mankind' by grounding it in an equally traditional Western theism. It is tempting to sidestep the tortuous intricacy of Coleridge's prose by assimilating it to the cool clarity of its sources in Schelling but, as Shaffer demonstrates, this seriously falsifies Coleridge's position. As Ren\u00e9 Wellek has argued in so many places, it is dishonest to credit Coleridge with particular statements or specific detailed arguments that he has copied from someone else; in this instance, confusing Coleridge with Schelling places Coleridge among the originators of an isolationist and radically formalist tradition in poetics to which he does not belong.\n\nThe fourth section (I, 188\u201394) is a Coleridgean 'miscellany' that ties the chapter's many loose ends to various major themes in the _Biographia_ generally. Viewed retrospectively, the chapter's main contention looks back to the opening paragraphs of chapter IX: philosophy is possible as a science because the certainty of all knowledge derives from the imaginative act that is self-consciousness. In self-consciousness, as in God himself, being and knowing are ' _ab initio_ , identical and coinherent' (I, 94). The Logosophia will provide this science, but meanwhile we have the major practical result of literary interest: imagination is the faculty whereby we know who we are as moral beings, and what the world's order really is. From this follow two ideas that permeate the chapters on poetry and on Wordsworth. Because imagination is also the origin of great art, it is reasonable to expect the very best art to offer profound insight into the human condition. And, secondly, the origin and thus to some extent the particular character of poems will be intimately involved with the poet's self-consciousness.\n\n## **I**\n\nIn the chapter's first part, a complex geographic image for the relation between common consciousness and philosophic consciousness develops the contention that not all men are philosophers into an explanation of the philosophic role of imagination. Most men believe that empirical knowledge is the only knowledge: they cannot distinguish _knowing_ from knowing _things_ , and will not give credence to those who can (cf. I, 64\u20135, 73\u20134, 105\u20136, 149). Such Valley-dwellers' can never attain absolute and spontaneous affirmation of immediate (suprasensuous) knowledge. The 'rivers' that carved the Valley' define the relation between sensuous and suprasensuous knowledge:\n\n... in all ages there have been a few, who measuring and sounding the rivers of the vale at the feet of their furthest inaccessible falls have learned, that the sources [of the rivers] must be far higher and far inward; a few, who even in the level streams have detected elements, which neither the vale itself or the surrounding mountains contained or could supply. How and whence to these thoughts, these strong probabilities, the ascertaining vision, the intuitive knowledge may finally supervene, can be learnt only by the fact. (I, 166)\n\nSensuous and suprasensuous interpenetrate. The stream of (common) consciousness reveals its origins in the pure spirit. They only are qualified as philosophers who can intuit spiritual (suprasensuous) realities, as the speaker does in chapter X. In both instances, Coleridge insists that the intuition is spontaneous: ideas about spiritual realities cannot be demonstrated from without (like 'the truths of abstract science', I, 135); nor can they be elicited strictly by choice (I, 167, i\u2013viii). References to the 'direction' of the streams of consciousness sustain the geographic metaphor throughout the chapter: 'the common consciousness itself will furnish proofs by its own direction, that it is connected with master-currents below the surface' (I, 167; cf. I, 76\u20137). It will prove crucial to remember that the 'direction' of consciousness is both its contents and its activity regarded as a unity originating in the suprasensuous. It is quite characteristic of Coleridge to provide an image for so complex an idea.\n\nHaving explained that the subjective basis of transcendental philosophy is the philosopher's imagination, the speaker explains that its objective basis or its character as a system is constructions from postulates. The 'direction' of consciousness is compared to the direction of the geometer's point moving in space. The geometer's point can be self-directed (indeterminate motion), directed from without (a straight line), or both, that is undirected externally but directly internally (a circle). These options exactly recapitulate the three levels of will: the voluntary or directed from within; the receptive or directed from without; and the spontaneous or intermediate. As J. B. Beer points out, the circle is one of Coleridge's favorite images for imaginative activity; it appears elsewhere in the _Biographia_ as well.\n\nThe geometer can literally construct or draw his point in motion, so as to demonstrate his idea in a physical form. The philosopher cannot. How, then, can he distinguish among the directions consciousness may take? The distinction rests on a moral (not sensuous) embodiment of the ideational or spiritual reality:\n\n... the inner sense has its direction determined for the greater part only by an act of freedom.... This more or less betrays already, that philosophy in its first principles must have a practical or moral, as well as a theoretical or speculative side. (I, 172\u20133)\n\nAs the geometer progresses by means of his constructions to a clearer intuition of space, so the philosopher progresses in his knowledge of consciousness by attending to the manifestations of moral freedom \u2013 the imperatives of conscience. Thus it is, the speaker concludes (pointing again to problems posed by his contemporaries), that those unable to intuit consciousness directly will condemn discussions of its 'directions' as metaphysical moonshine. For such readers, a text in transcendental philosophy 'is groundless and hollow, unsustained by living contact, unaccompanied with any realizing intuition which exists by and in the act that affirms its existence, which is known, because it is, and is, because it is known' (I, 173). Such a self-confirming truth, or absolute, is necessary not only for any science of knowing, but also to guarantee certainty in general (see I, 168, xiv\u2013xix). Those who cannot or \u2013 worse \u2013 who will not engage any issue involving abstract or purely intellectual truths stand on treacherous and uncertain ground even in their knowledge of objects. That is why anonymous critics and their kind are unreliable guides on _any_ issue.\n\n## **II**\n\nThis transcendental philosophy that so few will understand is the analysis of philosophic consciousness as the ground of all knowledge. The chapter's central section (I, 174\u201380) defines the major question answered by the ten theses: how is it possible that we have immediate intuitive certainty concerning our knowledge of objects external to ourselves? Or, to use the less technical form of the same question from chapter X, 'what proof... of the outward _existence_ of anything? Of this sheet of paper, for instance, as a thing in itself, separate from the phaenomena or image in... perception?' chapter X answers, 'the existence is _assumed_ by a logical necessity arising from the constitution of the mind itself...' (I, 133). The ten theses analyze that constitution to define the power and importance of secondary imagination.\n\nThis second section defines the metaphysical problem of mind and world from two perspectives. Natural philosophy assumes the priority of the objective (or being): inquiry moves from observation to theory. Ultimately, 'nature' refers both to the system of laws comprising the theory, and to the profusion of particulars that the theory encompasses. In the hypothetical 'completion' of science, when theories account for all observable particulars, 'the heavens and the earth shall declare not only the power of their maker, but the glory and the presence of their God' (I, 176). Nature will be revealed as truly 'the language of God', as his text but not as God himself. Scientific inquiry, in its progress from being to the 'equatorial' unity of being and knowing, goes from creation to God. Only a _self-conscious_ intelligence can perceive the unity of idea and law that underlies theory: to transform observations into theories is to transform 'nature' from particulars to relations \u2013 to intelligence or knowing. Science at its best is as imaginative an activity as poetry.\n\nTranscendental philosophy attains the same equatorial point from the other side: 'We begin with the I KNOW MYSELF, in order to end with the absolute I AM. We proceed from the SELF, in order to lose and find all self in GOD' (I, 186). But the transcendental philosopher's immediate concern is the movement from self (knowing) to things (being), just as the scientist's immediate concern is developing and testing theories about material reality. Coleridge sketches the movement of transcendental philosophy hypothetically (I, 178) before deriving it formally (Thesis VII). This development from hypothesis to formal assertion exactly repeats the strategy we saw at the end of chapter VIII and the beginning of chapter IX: the speaker proposes no more than a formal explanation of what we already intuitively recognize must be the case.\n\nThe transcendental philosopher's scientific scepticism uncovers two ineradicable beliefs, two products of imagination: that I exist (the _I am_ ) and that the world exists (the _it is_ ). The _I am_ 'is groundless indeed; but then in the very idea it precludes all ground, and separated from the immediate consciousness loses its whole sense and import' (I, 178). But the _it is_ retains its meaning even when separated from the philosopher's consciousness of its certainty: if _it_ really _is_ then _it is_ regardless of whether I am thinking about it. This state of affairs engenders the philosopher's hypothesis concerning the relation between self-consciousness and things. He intuits\n\nthat the former ['the existence of things'] is unconsciously involved in the latter ['the existence of our own being']; that it ['the existence of things'] is not only coherent but identical, and one and the same thing with our own immediate self-consciousness. To demonstrate this identity is the office and object of his philosophy. (I, 178)\n\nThe first clause asserts that the basis of our knowledge of our own existence encloses or includes the basis of our knowledge of the existence of things. The second clause asserts that self-consciousness is the same as the _existence_ of things without us (not the same as these _things_ , but the same as the _existence_ of these things, the same as their _being_ ). Yet self-consciousness is an act. It follows that the being of things without us is ultimately an act, and, further, that the being of all realities \u2013 conscious or not conscious, subjective spirit or objective nature \u2013 is knowing.\n\nThe hypothesis suggests that there are acts that we know _as acts_ , as the various manifestations of our power to know. And there are acts that we know _as things_ , as _beings_. Yet things are objects \u2013 passive, material, without consciousness. If they are acts, they are not human acts, for that would contradict our absolute certainty of their independent existence. They must therefore be acts of God, as no third possibility exists. God must, then, be the ground of their being \u2013 a familiar and orthodox idea. Coleridge's point is that our self-grounded knowledge of being (our own, or objects') exists in some important and intimate relation to God. Human knowing must somehow reflect the Supreme Being. Theses VI and VII later develop and substantiate what this earlier paragraph merely proposes.\n\nThe speaker strongly asserts that this hypothesis accounts for\n\nthe realism common to all mankind[.]... It is the table itself, which the man of common sense believes himself to see, not the phantom of a table, from which he may argumentatively deduce the reality of a table, which he does not see.... It is to the true and original realism, that I would direct the attention. This believes and requires neither more nor less, than [that] the object which it beholds or presents to itself, is the real and very object. In this sense, however much we may strive against it, we are all collectively born idealists, and therefore and only therefore are we at the same time realists. (I, 179)\n\nHe explains that this hypothesis will be formally established in the forthcoming Logosophia; but, as we have seen before, the Logosophia can do no more than argue formally and rigorously for that which we already realize must be true. Because the hypothesis involves knowledge of spiritual realities, no strict logical proof will be possible: logic can do no more than justify the necessity and consistency of this belief. Shaffer says it well:\n\nColeridge's objections [to Schelling] are not those of mere 'common sense.' There is simply no alternative to beginning where our consciousness begins: with 'sense certainty' of both the self and the external world, of subject and object alike. Such certainty does not constitute proof; of these fundamental assumptions there can be no proof. It is in this sense that our certainty is not prejudice, but 'faith.' All our knowing is indeed transcendental, in that it revolves on itself and depends on the system of our fundamental, necessary assumptions. We cannot escape from the mode of operation of our minds. But just for this reason we are bound to consider its natural results as real. There can be no other reality. ('Coleridge's aesthetics', p. 28)\n\nSuch fundamental assumptions cannot be transformed into conclusions without substituting some other idea as the fundamental starting-point. Coleridge insists on both beliefs, and on the primacy of both.\n\n## **III**\n\nIn the chapter's third section, the ten theses recapitulate major conclusions from the analysis of spontaneous knowing that began in chapter V but without the accompanying illustrations and history (personal or philosophic). Coleridge is trying to be exclusively abstract, keeping illustrations to a bare minimum and even then relegating them to scholia and to footnotes. I suspect that the attempt ran contrary to his particular genius: the theses have an odd objective clarity without conveying his meaning as effectively as the earlier formulations of the same ideas.\n\nThe first six theses primarily assemble earlier points into the argument that self-consciousness is the single absolute first principle of transcendental philosophy. For knowledge to be a system, there must be some one principle that is true because it is known, and known because it is true; Thesis VI identifies this absolute as the _I am_ , or self-consciousness. Yet the Scholium to VI adds an important qualification that the appended note on Descartes explains in more detail: to affirm of the _I am_ that it is true or self-evident does not necessarily imply that it exists. (It is self-evident that a circle is equi-radial, but that does not imply that there exists \u2013 physically exists \u2013 an absolutely genuine circle.) Yet, unless absolutely genuine self-consciousness exists, knowledge is not possible as a system, and therefore certain knowledge of any kind is not possible. Although the ground of being is not properly part of the science of knowing, the scholium points out that the ground of the _existence_ of self-consciousness is God, 'the absolute self, the great eternal I AM, [in whom] the principle of being, and of knowledge, of idea, and of reality; the ground of existence, and the ground of the knowledge of existence, are absolutely identical, Sum quia sum' (I, 183).\n\nThesis VI asserts that the absolute principle of transcendental philosophy is the unity of being and knowing in self-consciousness. Thesis VII asserts that from the identity 'self-knowing knows the self' we can conclude the 'immediate certainty of all intuitive knowledge' (I, 184). Yet how does the certainty of self-knowledge accrue to the intuitive (not sensuous) knowledge of objects themselves? Thesis II points out that if A is certain, and B is the same as A, then B is certain. So let me rephrase the question: in what way is our knowledge of our own being the same as our knowledge of external being? Both are known by the pure spirit, not the senses; yet the spirit knows only itself (I, 184, ix); so the _knowledge_ of the being of the self and of the being of the world must ultimately be the same knowledge. For this to be so, human being, and the being of the world, must have a single basis: the Supreme Being of God, in which human being _consciously_ participates via the triunity of will, faith and reason.\n\nAs I said before: Coleridge's argument here possesses a certain odd logical clarity despite its essential opacity. The principal obscurity in the ten theses derives from the slippery meaning of 'spirit'. This confusion is deepest when, after defining 'spirit' as 'self-consciousness' (I, 183, iii), Coleridge speaks of 'the self-consciousness of a spirit' (I, 184, iii). In doing so, he slides from a specific limited use of the word to his more usual, broader, traditional use. I suggest that by 'self-consciousness of a spirit' he means the self-knowledge of one who possesses reason, because reason is the cognitive faculty whereby we possess spiritual or suprasensuous knowledge, and thus our own identities as essentially suprasensuous entities (souls or spirits who are both free and immortal). And, as I explained in chapter 3, in a fully developed, imaginatively activated self-consciousness, the reason \u2013 pure knowing \u2013 discovers its immediate, intuitive, suprasensuous knowledge of God's being, and human being (free and immortal) and the world's being (real objects correspondent to sense data).\n\nWith at least this much clarified, it becomes possible to see that Thesis VI and its Scholium, and Thesis VII together say that pure knowing (the divine absolute in a pure but relative form) encounters pure being (God) in which all other being (including its own) participates, or by which all other being is sustained. Ergo the certainty accruing to the identity 'I know me' also accrues to the statement 'I know the table itself' because both statements are purely spiritual acts. And pure knowing or philosophical self-consciousness \u2013 the highest spiritual act \u2013 is one act not several. The certainty of all human knowing about realities other than itself depends upon God; in _Biographia Literaria_ this spiritual act is attributed to will, although elsewhere Coleridge attributes it either to faith or to reason as his particular argument warrants.\n\nOne's faith \u2013 the only correct name for it \u2013 one's faith in the existence of a real table is not to be confused with one's physical perception 'table over there'. The faith is in the reality of an object _correspondent to_ perception; it is not, very strictly speaking, a faith in the complete reliability of fragile sense organs, nor in the adequacy of sensation as the sole basis of knowledge about physical realities. But when my hands and eyes and brain are operating 'normally', then my confidence that the table _is_ there is just as valid as my confidence that I _am_ here: in both cases, the confidence derives not from logical proof, but from the way normal healthy minds work. Let me cite again Coleridge's clearest statement on this matter:\n\nFor wherein does the realism of mankind properly consist? In the assertion that there exists a something without them, what, or how, or where they know not, which occasions the objects of their perception? Oh no! This is neither connatural nor universal. It is what a few have taught and learned in the schools, and which the many repeat without asking themselves concerning their own meaning.... It is the table itself, which the man of common sense _believes himself to see_ , not the phantom of a table, from which he may argumentatively deduce the reality of a table, which he does not see. (I, 178\u20139; italics mine)\n\nNeither argumentative deductions nor, again more recently, skeptical critiques of such arguments can discredit this 'true and original realism' because it is an act of faith not a logical conclusion. As Thesis VII concludes, The self-conscious spirit therefore is a will; and freedom must be assumed as a _ground_ of philosophy, and can never be deduced from it' (I, 185). Coleridge's emphasis here on free will rather than reason reveals again the _Biographia's_ central interest in the moral implications of the idea 'imagination'. We believe some things because we choose to, because the alternatives all lead to solipcism \u2013 the dead end Coleridge describes in chapter VIII. These issues arise in the _Biographia_ because the genuinely great poet thus possesses intuitive knowledge of the moral realities sketched in Theses VI and VII. Thematic ties between chapter XII and other, more directly literary chapters appear much more clearly when one realizes that full self-consciousness so intimately requires (secondary) imagination that Coleridge legitimately uses the terms interchangeably.\n\nNote that, throughout the argument to this point, Coleridge has been talking only about the certainty of beliefs \u2013 not their objective validity. His strictly limiting the domain of transcendental philosophy is to prevent us from translating his conclusions about the certainty of our knowledge of being into statements about the nature of being itself. Such extensions \u2013 any study of the full unity of knowing and being \u2013 belong only to the total philosophy in which religion subsumes both transcendental and natural philosophy. The transcendental philosopher accepts as axiomatic that we have real knowledge of external realities, and simply asks _how_ this is so \u2013 not whether it is valid.\n\nAlthough transcendental philosophy does not ask about being, we can \u2013 and probably must \u2013 because the real independent existence of things is one of Coleridge's major practical divergences from his sources in Schelling. Does thesis VII contradict Coleridge's earlier insistence on the 'true and original realism'? Does the identical ground of _knowledge_ of being imply that spirit and objective nature are ultimately indistinguishable? No: to say that two things are known in the same way is not to say that they are the same. The chapter's several references to the Christian God suggest an orthodox interpretation instead: God creates, sustains and relates the being of both human minds and the natural world, but yet generates and maintains the necessary distinction between the two by creating the human as essentially subjective or active, and nature as objective _relative to man_ (see _PhL_ , 523\u20134). As Coleridge often insists, the essential difference between persons and things is the foundation of morals.\n\nThesis VII prompts another question as well. What about other instances of intuitive knowledge? What are they? How do we recognize them? The self's existence and the existence of things are the only intuitive _and immediately certain_ knowledge discovered by the transcendental philosopher's scientific skepticism. But there are, potentially, other instances which are not indubitable \u2013 God, for instance. Chapters XII and XIII define the objective features that characterize knowledge that is intuitive rather than sensuous in origin. Principal among these, of course, is the relation of part to whole variously called 'polar unity' or 'organic unity'. For the literary critic, an important index of the intuitive (or imaginative) origin of a work will be the unanimously favorable judgment of qualified readers over time, and the consistent effect on any sensitive reader. The critic's intuitive knowledge of artistic greatness is not indubitable or fundamental to all human minds, but it is real or genuine knowledge. For the _Biographia_ as a whole, the importance of Thesis VII is this grounding \u2013 or sketch for a grounding \u2013 of the consistent judgment of good critics on which Coleridge relies so heavily as a literary theorist.\n\nOne question about Thesis VII still remains: how can reason or the spirit maintain the unity of knowing and being _as a unity_ while yet knowing being _per se_? It can do so because it is an act, not a thing.\n\n... a spirit is that, which is its own object, yet not originally an object, but an absolute subject for which all, itself included, may become an object. It must therefore be an ACT... the spirit (originally the identity of object and subject) must in some sense dissolve this identity, in order to be conscious of it: fit alter et idem. But this implies an act, and it follows therefore that intelligence or self-consciousness is impossible, except by and in a will. The self-conscious spirit therefore is a will.... (I, 184\u20135)\n\nA notebook draft for chapter XII supplies a helpful explanation:\n\n... to be known, this Identity must be dissolved \u2013 and yet it cannot be dissolved. For its Essence consists in this Identity. This Contradiction can be solved no otherwise, than by an Act. ( _CN_ , III, 4265 f. 11)\n\nIn 'the act of constructing itself objectively to itself', the spirit knows being directly. The spirit is the continual simultaneous dissolving and recreating of the unity of being and knowing: it 'dissolves, diffuses, dissipates, in order to recreate' (I, 202). As the organ of philosophy, spirit (or self-consciousness via the philosophic [secondary] imagination) operates spontaneously. It cannot be compelled. It is the free act of the will that testifies to and grounds the essential difference between persons and things.\n\nTheses VIII, IX and X draw conclusions from the principles stated in VI and VII. Thesis VIII, on immortality, in part reveals chapter XII's origins as part of a draft for the Logosophia ( _CN_ , III, 4265 n). It also justifies the speaker's earlier claim that 'all the organs of sense are framed for a corresponding world of sense; and we have it. All the organs of spirit are framed for a correspondent world of spirit: though the latter organs are not developed in all alike. But they exist in all...' (I, 167). Thesis IX, clarifying VII, asserts that the unity _per se_ of being and knowing is will. Knowing as such is reason; _spirit_ is the more comprehensive term for knowing and being as an identity. And this unity or identity is sustained through imagination. chapter XII defines the will relative to knowing as an act, the act of imagination, just as chapter 10 defines will relative to being as faith. Thesis IX also distinguishes among natural, transcendental and total philosophy to insist that the 'equatorial point' or absolute unity of being and knowing is God. Such a division of inquiry is crucial for Coleridge's endeavors in chapter XII, because it allows transcendental philosophy to be a complete system _sui generis_ , a complete part of the whole of human knowledge.\n\nThesis X addresses misunderstandings that would reduce transcendental philosophy's first principle into a relative or mediate one. First, it repeats the distinctions among inquiries defined in Thesis IX: transcendental philosophy does not seek the ultimate ground of knowing in the absolute unity of knowing and being. Self-consciousness is not itself absolute, but only absolute for our knowing. Secondly, it argues that the knowing of knowing does not generate an infinite regress: even one who could know the knowing of knowing still comprehends nothing beyond knowing itself. Self-consciousness is not a higher form of being, antecedent to a still higher form. It is knowledge of the operations of our own minds.\n\nThe concluding paragraph of Thesis X sketches the 'interrupted' intent of chapter XIII: to abstract from self-consciousness a single power generating two polar forces, and from their interactions to evolve 'the fulness of _human_ intelligence' (I, 188). We may rightly ask what relation this one force has to the God of the Scholium to VI. The answer would be that transcendental philosophy treats God as absolute knowing, not as a person, and not as a deity; natural philosophy, correspondingly, treats God as absolute being. Only the total philosophy (in which philosophy passes into religion) deals with God as a person, as a 'moral creator, and governor' (I, 133).\n\nThat is a good and adequate answer, strictly speaking. But _Biographia Literaria_ as a whole is not strictly transcendental philosophy. Coleridge veers repeatedly into the total philosophy, particularly in his arguments about moral responsibility in chapters V to IX, and in his discovery of the common ground of the personal God and things in themselves in chapter X. The actual gap in this book is between Thesis VI and its Scholium, between the one force or single ground and the personal triune God. Philosophical resolution of that gap is repeatedly deferred to the Logosophia. Autobiographical resolution takes its place 'temporarily': the speaker knows that the orthodox Christian God underlies his coherent experience of both an independent material reality and his own moral freedom. He urges orthodox values and perspectives at every turn. That strategy sharply limits \u2013 or attempts to limit \u2013 the range of implication and inference from transcendental philosophy that the reader will perceive as valid. Despite the logical appearance of pantheism in chapter XII, the dramatic autobiographical form of the whole work is to preclude our taking that appearance literally. The problem, as I noted with regard to chapter VIII, is that the reader's logical powers have been fully engaged by chapter XII's arguments. The speaker's orthodoxy lacks the rhetorical potence necessary to preclude the pantheist interpretations. Coleridge's deficient sense of audience becomes startlingly apparent \u2013 or, perhaps, his vulnerable openness in asking us to trust the orthodoxy of his morals and the powers of his mind. On such issues as these, the man and the speaker can be only theoretically distinct.\n\n## **IV**\n\nChapter XII's concluding transition is unusually complete. The speaker presents some new terms and repeats chapter X's defense of technical language as if to suggest that we have arrived at a major internal division in his analysis of being and knowing. His repeated lament about 'popular' philosophy echoes the chapter's opening, reinforces the impression of major internal division, and ironically prepares us both for more technical argument and for the 'deletion' of that argument in the next chapter.\n\nThe chapter also concludes with a glance toward chapter XIV. The speaker explains that in rereading Wordsworth's 1815 preface he has discovered that he disagrees with Wordsworth's account of the 'poetic fruitage' of the interaction between fancy and imagination (see I, 64). Had Wordsworth's account been acceptable, of course, then much of what Coleridge argues in Chapters XIV to XXII would have been precluded. At most, Coleridge's commentary on the controversy about diction could have been formulated as a deduction from Wordsworth's _accurate_ definition of the poetic aspects of the two powers. But, rather than undertake such a reconciliation of the transcendental root with the Wordsworthian 'poetic fruitage', the speaker attributes most of the controversy to inaccuracies and imprecisions in the 1800 Preface. In short, Wordsworth assumes a role analogous to that assigned Aristotle or Kant or Schelling: he formulates ideas that Coleridge finds it convenient to adapt and to argue against as a way of structuring his own presentation. As we shall see later, Coleridge misrepresents parts of the Preface to his own ends.\n\nThe infamous chapter XIII offers little more than a selection of previously defined ideas as the basis for a rigorous 'construction' in transcendental philosophy. The lines from Milton affirm God's creativity and creation's order, yet in Coleridge's context, and given Coleridge's syncretism, no precise philosophic significance can be assigned. As Lovejoy argues, the great chain of being created by emanation from One Almighty is an ancient idea rich with its own complexities: the range of interpretations here must stretch far beyond _Paradise Lost_. Yet this much is clear: Milton's lines begin from mind and arrive at matter. Leibnitz's direction, in the succeeding passage, is just the opposite: 'all the truth about corporeal things cannot be collected from logistic and geometric axioms along'. In examining matter, one discovers mind: 'even as natural philosophers we must arrive at the same principle from which as transcendental philosophers we set out; that is, in a self-consciousness' (I, 187). The final citation, from Synesius, affirms again that the 'equatorial' unity of being and knowing is an act:\n\n> I worship the hidden order of intellectual things;\n> \n> The Mean dances and is not still.\n\nThe portion preceding the 'letter' repeats and expands Chapter XII's explanation of polarity (cf. I, 188). The transcendental philosopher contends that the universe can be rendered 'intelligible' by postulating a single power that generates two forces, 'one of which tends to expand infinitely, while the other strives to apprehend or _find_ itself in this infinity' (I, 196). The equipoise of these forces is not stasis, but 'finite generation': a real physical world, growing, reproducing, renewing \u2013 the 'process and mystery of production and life' (I, 185).\n\nAt this point the speaker 'interrupts' himself to cite a 'letter from a friend' that, as he said later, he composed without interruption as a part of the chapter. From one perspective at least, the letter is 'a philosophical route, a mad dash from an untenable position'. There are two major problems with the philosophic position delineated in chapters IX to XII. For the argument to succeed, being and knowing must be identical. Yet they must also be distinct \u2013 actually distinct, not just verbally so. Thesis VII reveals this paradox most fully, and hints at its potential resolution with the Trinitarian's formula, 'fit alter et idem'. Secondly, if being and knowing are identical, and we have immediate knowledge of independently real objects, then objective reality as portrayed by transcendental philosophy will be identical with reality as portrayed by natural philosophy, and these together will reveal God: the total philosophy will be implicit in the conclusion of either of its subsidiary branches. Coleridge cannot rigorously pursue his transcendental construction of the 'intelligible' world without engaging the whole range of unsolved metaphysical problems \u2013 an error soon recognized ( _CL_ , IV, 874).\n\nThe two parts of chapter XIII \u2013 the initial philosophy, and the letter \u2013 try to avoid the consequences of leaving us philosophically in mid-air by assimilating the missing construction to an ancient philosophic tradition, and by asserting that the metaphysical problems have been solved but withheld from publication. The lines from Milton and Synesius and the explanation of the productive union of polar opposites assert that the deferred philosophic argument will be nothing new and ingenius but, rather, the 'purification' of what the speaker calls the 'Dynamic System... begun by Bruno' but boasting such ancestors as scholastic theologians, Plato, Plotinus, Ficino, Proclus and Gemistius Pletho (see I, 94; 98, xxxiii; 103\u20134). Either this system is pantheism, or it rests on the mystery of the one and the many \u2013 a mystery that literally or logically breaks down into pantheism. Both the unity of being and knowing and the mystery of the one and the many contradict the fundamental principle of discursive logic: _A_ cannot be _not-A_. Or, as the speaker explains in chapter IX, 'An IDEA, in the _highest_ sense of that word, cannot be conveyed but by a _symbol_ ; and, except in geometry, all symbols of necessity involve an apparent contradiction' (I, 100). All other symbols depend for their intelligibility upon the complex cognitive power of faith and conscience. As the many references to the Logosophia indicate, for Coleridge the Logos is the central or organizing symbol for all inquiry. By locating his philosophy in the historical past, Coleridge seeks to bolster his claim that it is sound and valid: it is a truth neglected by those entranced by popular philosophy. Coleridge firmly and literally believed this was so: the rhetorical strategy here is no mere convenience of the moment.\n\nThe letter seeks in a different way to support the validity of Coleridge's philosophy. The 'friend' is a sympathetic dunderhead, a kindly member of the Lockean 'populace' whose miscomprehensions have been predicted all along. His letter justifies these predictions; the strategy seeks to persuade us that Coleridge should not demonstrate the transcendental construction of the intelligible world in this generally nontechnical book. In reading chapter XIII, the friend feels as if he is standing on his head. That is how readers of the Preface felt: it signals an inability to reconcile thoughts with feelings, and thus a feeble imagination (I, 51\u20132). Lest we fail to recognize this parallel, Coleridge includes a page-number reference. In a more subtle echo, the images of light and darkness in the friend's analogy match those in the speaker's earlier explanations that those who lack philosophic imagination will find transcendental philosophy baffling and disorienting. The friend reports finding himself '\" _Now in glimmer, and now in gloom;\" often in palpable darkness not without a chilly sensation of terror; then suddenly emerging into broad yet visionary lights with coloured shadows of fantastic shapes_ ' (I, 199). As the speaker had explained in chapter XII:\n\nThe first range of hills, that encircles the scanty vale of human life, is the horizon for the majority of its inhabitants.... By the many, even this range... is but imperfectly known. Its higher ascents are too often hidden by mists and clouds from uncultivated swamps.... To the multitude below these vapours appear, now as the dark haunts of terrific agents, on which none may intrude with impunity; and now all _a-glow_ , with colours not their own.... (I, 164\u20136)\n\nOr, slightly later:\n\nA system, the first principle of which it is to render the mind intuitive of the _spiritual_ in man (i.e. of that which lies _on the other side_ of our natural consciousness) must needs have a greater obscurity for those, who have never disciplined and strengthened this ulterior consciousness. It must in truth be a land of darkness, a perfect _Anti-Goshen_ , for men to whom the noblest treasures of their own being are reported only through the imperfect translation of lifeless and sightless _notions_. (I, 168)\n\nAll three passages describe the sensation of confusion as frightening darkness broken only by an equally disconcerting light. Those who achieve only partial intuition of the spiritual will be as frightened as the boy Wordsworth by the apparently external source of the power that 'suddenly shines upon us' (I, 167). To those even less disposed toward philosophy than the letter's 'author', of course, Coleridge remains entirely 'obscure'.\n\nThe friend's account of the cathedral's statuary reflects the speaker's judgment of poets and philosophers. Such upending of the popular hierarchy follows necessarily, the speaker has warned, from a true understanding of imagination (I, 11\u201316, 52 and n). The contrast to Mackintosh has further emphasized the speaker's 'unusual' view of history. The friend's complaint about substances and shadows mirrors the speaker's inversion of Mackintosh's charges about nonempirical metaphysics: Hartley's 'oscillations' are proved shadows; suprasensuous knowledge is proved solid, not vaporous.\n\nThe friend argues against publication by claiming that chapter XIII is not suited to a literary life and opinions, ignoring the speaker's claims that he wishes to offer deductions from established principles (I, 64\u20135), and that some readers will have trouble understanding him, but some will not (I, 65, 74, 105\u20137, 149, 160\u20137, 188\u201392). The friend's suggestion that there may be too much metaphysics already formulates a complaint of all but one contemporary review, and of a good many readers since then as well. The friend's derogatory comparison of _Biographia Literaria_ to Berkeley's _Siris_ provides a useful clue to the _Biographia's_ form and its tradition.\n\nThe friend's final paragraph refers to familiar features in the speaker's character: his chronic inability to consider his reputation and financial needs (I, 31\u20132, 110, 119, 145), and his diligent study (I, 14, 60\u20135, 93\u20135, 104\u20135, 112, 137\u201341, 148\u201351). When the speaker defers to the judgment of his friend, it is only worse imprudence. Yet the reader is to be convinced by the letter, and by the consistency or predictability of the speaker's response, that at least part of the Logosophia has been completed. The letter thus completes a pattern of references whereby the Logosophia's status as a work-in-progress has been gradually enhanced. What is at first 'a work, which I have many years been preparing', becomes a manuscript whose transcription for the press has been abruptly curtailed (I, 91\u20132, 102, 179\u201380). It has become more real as the relation between being and knowing has been more closely specified.\n\nFrom another perspective, then, this 'mad dash' is no dash at all, no spur-of-the-moment tactic. However severely one might judge Coleridge's strategies or his motives in chapter XIII, it is not accurate to say that he has suddenly broken off his disquisition in horrified recognition of the spectre of pantheism, or in frustration at the intractability of Schelling's text, or in confusion about his own argument. The letter is not the abrupt thing it appears, but the completion of a pattern painstakingly established. Yet to say as much solves little. If we cannot write this off as error, panic or exhaustion, where does that leave us? There are two primary sources of explanation: the text itself, and the man.\n\nLet us look first to the text. Although the speaker asserts that a sense of self is present in inverse proportion to the imaginative power, and although his stories show him unconcerned with the niceties of social status, he is outraged at what has been said about him in print, and claims that such defamation has caused him 'serious injury' (I, 150). Because truly imaginative works derive from 'our nobler being', one gifted with such power exists under some moral obligation to defend his works from scurrilous attacks (I, 32), such as those by critics 'who have taken so much pains to render me ridiculous for a perversion of taste, and have supported the charge by attributing strange notions to me on no other authority than their own conjectures' (I, 65). Such comments are scattered throughout the first four chapters' commentary on anonymous criticism. The climax of such short moments of self-defense is chapter X, which records years of study and writing coming to little because of the influence of fanatics, who have then accused him 'of having dreamed away [his] life to no purpose' (I, 150). One cannot but sympathize with the wish that\n\nthe criterion of a scholar's utility were the number and moral value of the truths, which he has been the means of throwing into the general circulation; or the number and value of the minds, whom by his conversation or letters he has excited into activity, and supplied with the germs of their after-growth! A distinguished rank might not indeed, even then, be awarded to my exertions; but I should dare look forward with confidence to an honorable acquittal.... By what I _have_ effected, am I to be judged by my fellow men; what I _could_ have done, is a question for my own conscience. (I, 149\u201351)\n\nSuch a person, with this reputation and this sensitivity to it, has in an autobiographical work asserted that a major undertaking has been accomplished.\n\nThe assertion will not help his reputation \u2013 it is past redemption, as the friend's miscomprehensions indicate \u2013 but a strong if counter-productive claim has been made: I have not wasted my life. The speaker has been portrayed all along as one who says what must be said, regardless of consequences. His (in effect) refusal here to mask his motive for deleting the construction, to rewrite so as to avoid insulting the noncomprehending populace, is a coherent and integral act. Imprudent, certainly \u2013 but he is imprudent and noted for bad judgment in such situations. However frustrated we feel, we are to recognize him as more frustrated yet \u2013 as once again stymied by the very people who damn him as a dreamer. Coleridge counts on that sympathetic understanding to sustain his authority with us, the 'good' readers. Our anger at him is to be deflected into anger at the very dangerous influence of popular philosophy.\n\nI suspect that Coleridge underestimated how vividly interested readers would become in his analysis of consciousness. Granting that he was in some ways seriously depressed, that he often felt abandoned by friends and tormented by an inability to share more widely the fruits of his monumental study, granting all this, I think it possible that he could not, in 1815, strongly and consistently enough imagine the good reader he hopefully addresses now and then. In the works written after 1815, we find these same thorny metaphysical problems handled with grace and clarity. _Aids to Reflection_ , the _Biographia's_ closest of kin, perhaps, after 'Appendix C' of the _Statesman's Manual_ , offers a bolder and far more difficult form of the same basic design found in _Biographia Literaria_ ; yet it has always enjoyed a better reputation as a coherent and integral piece of writing.\n\nBut 1825 was not 1815. In 1815, Coleridge was emerging from a long period of study, illness, addiction, family problems, problems with friends and, above all, of limited _public_ productivity. The need to assert his intellectual worth may have been strong. The ability to imagine his proper readers may also have demanded a higher level of psychic energy and self-confidence than he could sustain. Thus the _Biographia_ emerged as written for sympathetic members of the populace, for what Haven calls 'Wedding Guests', with copious illustration of relatively simple points. He brackets the abstract and difficult parts, saying (in effect) 'you may not follow this; but maybe someone else will be interested'. The fiction of a contemporary English audience for transcendental philosophy complements the fiction of the completed Logosophia. The poignant moments of self-defense suggest that, were the first real, the second might have been. Chapters XII and XIII might have proceeded with Milton and Synesius and an English 'true and original realism' rather than a pseudo-Schellingeanism. Coleridge's later writings on such topics are both lucid and graceful because he never again ventured into numbered propositions and exclusively abstract arguments.\n\nFrom the letter's clear relation to what has preceded, and its comprehensible (albeit peculiar) rhetorical purposes, one may conclude that \u2013 objectively regarded \u2013 it does no damage to the integrity or completeness of the work as a whole. Regarded subjectively, however, the letter poses a more difficult challenge, because it marks and symbolizes a highly problematic aspect of Coleridge's theory of the mind's functions. The theory is formally incomplete. But from this fact one cannot directly conclude that _Biographia Literaria_ itself is incomplete, because the character of this problematic part must be taken into account. Most of the first fourteen pages of chapter XII explain that the major principles of transcendental philosophy cannot be demonstrated. The mysteries of being and knowing, or the one and the many, would not have been converted to logically demonstrable propositions by the missing construction. Does this comprise an intolerable break in the book's thematic or ideational unity? Critical or scholarly consensus here principally exerts a rhetorical and moral force: the mystery is not made less mysterious by winning broad support.\n\nThis then is the distinction of moral philosophy \u2013 not that I begin with one or more assumptions; for this is common to all science; but \u2013 that I assume a something, the proof of which no man can give to another, yet every man may find himself.... _Omnia exeunt in mysterium_ , says a schoolman: that is, There is nothing, the absolute ground of which is not a mystery. The contrary were indeed a contradiction in terms: for how can that, which is to explain all things, be susceptible of an explanation? It would be to suppose the same thing first and second at the same time. ( _AR_ , 154\u20136)\n\nIn its most fundamental terms, the issue here is whether or not one agrees that ' _Omnia exeunt in mysterium_ '. Those who absolutely agree live in a world fundamentally different from those who absolutely disagree, separated by a gulf across which arguments may carry, but to no useful purpose. But most of us, I suspect, float about somewhat eclectically, uneasy with this mysterious assumption that we know and can discourse about a real and coherent world, yet repulsed and unconvinced by the alternatives. Ultimately, one cannot absolutely and logically prove whether or not the abstract formal integrity of _Biographia Literaria_ is matched by a theoretical or ideational unity. But we conduct our lives in accord with many beliefs that we cannot absolutely establish. In reading and writing as in living, most of us rely on persuasive probabilities, and common sense, and on those graces of explanation and argument that make more easily accessible what 'every man may find for _himself_ '. One who would reach beyond the currently fashionable nihilisms can only rely on some version of the _Biographia's_ idea that discourse is an essentially creative act designed for a free agent who consciously chooses to accept some version of the true and original realism.\n\nThe famous definitions at the end of the chapter add very little that is new, but they draw together parts of a complex and difficult argument. We knew in chapter VII that imagination exists in levels, some common and others more rare. These are now given titles: the primary imagination is the ordinary agent of perception and consciousness; the secondary \u2013 the knowing of knowing \u2013 is the direct or self-conscious knowledge of the operations of the primary. It is the 'organ' of philosophy, the poetic Vision and the faculty divine', that arises spontaneously, or 'suddenly shines upon us' (I, 173, 166, 167).\n\nA summary of this argument may make the significance of the definitions more easily apparent. In common consciousness, for the ordinary person ordinarily, the identity of being and knowing is unknown. This unity is discovered by the scientific skepticism of the transcendental philosopher. Because the unity is unknown, its two 'products' \u2013 common consciousness and the perceived world \u2013 usually appear as givens, _and as unrelated_. In the cosmos known by primary imagination, T and 'it' have no fundamental and necessary connection. 'It' is simply there \u2013 impassive, inanimate, morally remote. Material association remains on this level, but two flaws reveal its inadequacies. The first is the failure of the mechanism to explain the psychic phenomena at hand. The second is that even ordinary people sometimes experience the world not as inanimate and remote, but as beautiful, alive, and translucent with meaning and value. And everyone in basic psychic health experiences both personal agency and moral responsibility \u2013 further evidence of the higher intellectual powers.\n\nSome people can penetrate to the origin of such experiences: our fundamental unity with the world around us, the common spiritual ground of human being and the world's being. They do so by or through philosophic self-consciousness: they know not simply things, and the self as a thing among things, but the activities that are the self _per se_. This ability is a heightened power to know; it is a further development of the primary imagination, although identical with it in kind. Secondary imagination 'dissolves, diffuses, dissipates' the unity of being and knowing 'so as to recreate' this unity consciously, in full possession of both the common moral ground of being, and the uniquely human power of self-knowing (with its origins and consequences). Even when such resynthesis is impossible, the secondary imagination 'struggles to idealize and to unify' \u2013 to heighten the experience of beauty, animation, and translucent meaning by focussing attention on those aspects that embody or reflect these qualities most clearly. When secondary imagination cannot literally transform, it reorganizes so as to make the implicit spiritual form more evident even if not fully realized. The productions of imagination \u2013 whether philosophy or art or science \u2013 help confirm and encourage the occasional insights of the less self-conscious ordinary person.\n\nThe difficult question about imagination is not what the power is, or how it works, but rather how these operations account for the qualities we find in imaginative works. How does rendering the primary unity conscious generate the explicit form of spiritual values and realities through the physical world? _Biographia Literaria_ offers Coleridge's fullest statement on this point, through its poetics and practical criticism. As we shall see, this literary criticism depends upon a theory of language as intimately involved with the Logos as the analysis of consciousness, although somewhat less explicitly so. For now, however, let us turn back to Theses VI and VII to see what light they shed.\n\nAnd let us grant the _fit alter et idem_ identity of being and knowing, for without such assent (at least conditionally) most of the _Biographia_ remains incomprehensible. Since the self is not a thing but the dynamic union of knowing and being, self-knowing (the spirit) knows the dynamic union both as its parts and as a whole. _In doing so, the spirit directly intuits knowing as such, and being as such_. Knowing as such is God, the creative One Almighty. Being as such (not beings) is the spiritual essence of all reality \u2013 God, man, world, interrelated and thus knowable by man, yet distinct. As a result, secondary imagination presents the spiritual in and as the natural. It bridges the gap yet retains the distinction between the human spirit and the physical world by creating symbols. Because language (a system of symbols) is the medium of least resistance to the spirit, and a poem is the most exact use of words, in a poem we are entitled to expect not just physical detail and profound insight, but an integral unity of these two:\n\nIt was not however [Wordsworth's] freedom from false taste... which made so unusual an impression on my feelings immediately, and subsequently on my judgement. It was the union of deep feeling with profound thought; the fine balance of truth in observing, with the imaginative faculty in modifying the objects observed; and above all the original gift of spreading the tone, the _atmosphere_ , and with it the depth and height of the ideal world around forms, incidents, and situations, of which, for the common view, custom had bedimmed all the lustre, had dried up the sparkle and the dew drops.... In poems, equally as in philosophic disquisitions, genius produces the strongest impressions of novelty, while it rescues the most admitted truths from the impotence caused by the very circumstance of their universal admission. (I, 59\u201360)\n\nThe genial unity of thought and feeling, or universal and particular, both depend on secondary imagination's synthesis of the powers that penetrate to pure knowing and pure being, and to their absolute union in the triune God.\n\nThe cognitive range achieved through imagination reflects the fact that 'the self-conscious spirit... is a will' (I, 185) and 'the evidence of [religion's] doctrines could not, like the truths of abstract science, be wholly independent of the will' (I, 135). Imagination is the spontaneous level of will, intermediate between the will's absolute activity in knowing, and its relative passivity in being (cf. I, 65\u20136; I, 85\u20136; I, 174; I, 182\u20133). Imagination, or self-consciousness, draws the full range of our spiritual knowledge into relation with the full range of our sensory knowledge. Because it synthesizes the animated world, imagination is truly a 'repetition in the finite mind of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I AM' (I, 202). But this fact would remain beyond our ken if we could not know imagination's operation directly, that is, know the parts as parts (and thus purely), and yet as the whole, as the rich, endlessly fascinating panorama acknowledged by 'the child's sense of wonder and novelty' but too often 'bedimmed' by custom and familiarity (I, 59).\n\nThe integrative function of imagination is analogous to that of conscience \u2013 imagination for our being in the world, and conscience for our being in God. Because our knowledge of these two aspects of our humanity is one act, the same knowledge, Coleridge appeals to conscience to illuminate evidence of imagination. His first argument for the true and original realism appeals to conscience (I, 133\u20136), and the second to imagination (Thesis VII), and yet they are the same argument. In _Biographia Literaria_ Coleridge argues for the moral depth of art; in _Aids to Reflection_ for the imaginative power of religion. It is easy enough to argue that he advocates pantheism with a veneer of Christian piety \u2013 the most likely collapse of mystery into mechanism. It is more difficult, but more accurate, to recognize how precisely he defines _and limits_ the supralogical so as to emerge with a solid base for contending that poetry is not lies, nor mere entertainment nor simply egoist self-expression, but yet not 'the truths of abstract science' either. The character of Coleridge's philosophy is not determined by the fact 'that [he] begin[s] with one or more assumptions; for this is common to all science' ( _AR_ , 154), but by the fact that his assumptions are essentially religious.\n\nYet poetry is not religion (although great poetry is moral). One need not accept Christianity to make good use of his theory of imagination. The true and original realism makes possible a definition of imagination's poetic workings that is strongly empirical in its appeal to observation, and to critical and poetic tradition. The ultimate basis of this poetics is philosophical and thus religious; but the immediate basis is textual. Coleridge's criticism is rooted in the immediate reactions of the reader to particular linguistic features. One would never reach Coleridge's poetics through the empiricist's modes of inquiry; but, having otherwise attained them, one can explicate and defend on empirical grounds. The true and original realism guarantees and insists on no less.\n\nOne point remains. What does chapter XIII add to our understanding of fancy? Very little. By distinguishing the levels of imagination as he does, Coleridge clarifies what chapters V to VIII suggest: fancy is controlled both from above and from below. It gathers and sorts (according to the law of association) the percepts generated by primary imagination; the quality of the work performed by these two powers inevitably influences the level of synthesis or transformation that secondary imagination can achieve. Yet the influence is reciprocal: one who consciously intuits the spiritual realities animating experience will more adeptly perceive their physical signs or correlatives. Because 'the will itself by confining and intensifying the attention may arbitrarily give vividness or distinctness to any object whatsoever', fancy can collect animated perceptions with the same mechanical efficiency with which it collects any other kind of perception. It can provide associations that are trivially witty, or it can provide associations that place the object into a net of relations that illumine a profound significance. In the first, a flea is still just an insect, albeit a more interesting one; in the second, the flea assumes symbolic potence. The difference between the two depends partly on the poet's original insight into the symbolic potential of the flea, and partly on the reader's appropriate synthesis of the associative details into a whole more significant than these parts. For both reader and poet, then, the role of fancy depends on the power of imagination.\n\n# **6 Poetry**\n\n> As a fruit-tree is more valuable than any one of its fruits singly, or even than all its fruits of a single season, so the noblest object of reflection is the mind itself, by which we reflect:\n> \n> And as the blossoms, the green, and the ripe, fruit of an orange-tree are more beautiful to behold when on the tree and seen as one with it, than the same growth detached and seen successively, after their importation into another country and different clime; so it is with the manifold objects of reflection, when they are considered principally in reference to the reflective power, and as part and parcel of the same. No object, of whatever value our passions may represent it, but becomes foreign to us as soon as it is altogether unconnected with our intellectual, moral, and spiritual life. To be ours, it must be referred to the mind, either as motive or consequence, or symptom.\n> \n> _Aids to Reflection_ , Introductory Aphorism V\n\n'The office of philosophical _disquisition_ ', Coleridge explains, 'consists in just _distinction_ ; while it is the privilege of the philosopher to preserve himself constantly aware, that distinction is not division. In order to obtain adequate notions of any truth, we must intellectually separate its distinguishable parts; and this is the technical _process_ of philosophy. But having so done, we must then restore them in our conceptions to the unity, in which they actually co-exist; and this is the _result_ of philosophy' (II, 8). Chapters XIV to XVI restore the distinctions between fancy and imagination, thought and feeling, being and knowing, subject and object to their original unity: the integrity of the human mind as evident in literary language.\n\nA poem reveals the complex unity of the mind because a word names not a physical thing, nor an idea in the mind of the speaker, but the relation between speaker and reality. Words exist _within_ the unity of being and knowing, world and mind; and thus a precise use of words (by philosopher or by poet) renders that unity distinctly accessible to the conscious mind. And a poem is our most precise use of language: 'it would be scarcely more difficult to push a stone out from the pyramids with the bare hand, than to alter a word, or the position of a word, in Milton or Shakespeare, (in their most important works at least,) without making the author say something else, or something worse, than he does say' (I, 15); or 'Poetry... ha[s] a logic of its own, as severe as that of science; and more difficult, because more subtle, more complex, and dependent on more, and more fugitive causes. In the truly great poets... there is a reason assignable, not only for every word, but for the position of every word' (I, 4). A poem reveals both the mind of the poet, and the reality he knows; in examining our reaction to the text, we discover our relation both to the powers of mind and to the aspects of reality. Granting Coleridge's original realism, we see that words precisely used make true statements. The cultural and moral value of poetry depend on this link between precision and truth.\n\nR. H. Fogle said chapter XIV offers 'a microcosm of Coleridge's entire critical system', and so it does \u2013 both in what it says, and in how it delineates the complexities that a poem represents. Nowhere does he more frequently shift from objective to subjective perspectives and back again. Objectively, the poem is a use of language, a 'species of composition' (II, 10). As such, it exists in relation to the universe (it makes true or false statements). Yet it also exists in two sets of subjective relations, to the reader and to the poet. To the reader, a poem is both a thing (a text, a 'species of composition') and a psychic experience, an act of reading. In parallel ways, to the poet a poem both expresses what he _knows_ , and who he _is_ , through the medium of words. The definitions of 'poem', 'legitimate poem', 'poetry' and 'poet' explain these relations. Chapter XV translates this theoretical complex into something useful for the practical critic by explaining how a poem's features both arise from the poet's skills, and elicit the reader's reaction. The subjective orientation of Chapter XV is balanced by the objective orientation of chapter XVI which argues that language does more than reveal skills or engender response. It shapes our relation to reality. Coleridge alternates orientations so often because he is trying to define how language incarnates the essentially spiritual relation between being and knowing.\n\nAttending closely to Coleridge's statements about language reveals that his poetics has deep and intricate roots in the first volume, although the bulk of these are not in Chapters XII and XIII. Throughout the first volume, Coleridge asserts a connection between precise language and truth. The original realism is denied only by 'philosophers of the schools... who live and move in a crowd of phrases and notions from which human nature has long ago vanished' (I, 179). Edmund Burke's power as a ' _scientific_ statesman; and therefore a _seer_ ' arises from his habitual precision of expression (I, 125). The vagueness and inconsequence of anonymous critics and decadent modern poets reflect their confused understanding (I, 25\u20139 and n; I, 15). By contrast, the speaker was rigorously trained in verbal precision even at Christ's Hospital. As he is more fully portrayed as a genius, his care with words is more clearly stressed, as part of the larger argument that any apparent obscurity in a genius's work reveals the difficulty of the topic, or the deficiency of the reader, rather than authorial failing (I, 4\u20135, 64, 108\u201310, 146). The link between good poetic diction and truth is often asserted, but especially in the first major paean to Wordsworth, which shifts effortlessly from the praise of his pure diction to a celebration of the truth that his genius properly animates (I, 58\u201360). In Chapters XIV to XVI, Coleridge begins to justify this link by exploring the relations between poet and text, and between text and reader. In doing so, he develops the definitions of imagination and fancy; he does not simply apply them to literary questions.\n\nCritics and scholars have long argued about whether or not the theory of literature presented in these chapters grows coherently from the metaphysics and epistemology in the first volume. Those who would describe Coleridge as the father of the New Criticism tend to disregard these metaphysical roots, and to focus on such famous doctrines as 'poetic faith' or the opposition between poems and science. Those who take these roots seriously encounter a variety of complex and perplexing problems. One who emphasizes imagination's synthesis of being and knowing within a metaphysics of polarity can account quite well for much that is both valuable and influential in Coleridge's literary criticism. But, taken in isolation from the rest of Coleridge's philosophic thinking, these doctrines lead directly, abruptly into pantheism. That makes it difficult to justify the centrality of Coleridge's belief in the moral value of art: the belief appears either extraneous, or inconsistent, or both. Those who try to resolve the conflicts are more or less stymied by the fact that after _Biographia Literaria_ Coleridge said and wrote very little about imagination, fancy and poetry.\n\nBut he did continue to write about language itself, and the relation between metaphysics and poetics is to be found primarily in what the _Biographia_ says about language. This idea of language, like the idea of will, permeates Coleridge's works; but it is fully explicated in no one place. Pausing now to define this idea will establish a locus from which the continuity and balance of first and second volumes can be more easily described. Language integrates subjects with objects, or knowing with being, because words reveal both the real world and the person who uses them. 'I include in the _meaning_ of a _word_ ', Coleridge explains, 'not only its correspondent object, but likewise all the associations which it recalls. For language is framed to convey not the object alone, but likewise the character, mood and intentions of the person who is representing it' (II, 115\u201316). In the _Biographia_ he does not explain how, referring instead to 'some future occasion' on which he will 'attempt to prove the close connection between veracity and habits of mental accuracy; the beneficial after-effects of verbal precision in the preclusion of fanaticism... and to display the advantages which language... presents to the instructor' (II, 116\u201317).\n\n_Aids to Reflection_ explains what _Biographia Literaria_ somewhat cryptically asserts. Words signify neither things, nor ideas, but rather the mind's activity in perception, reflection and meditation. Words reveal the creative, active mind as it distinguishes between real things and mere artifacts of sensory receptors:\n\nNow when a person speaking to us of any particular object or appearance refers it by means of some common character to a known class (which he does in giving it a name), we say, that we understand him; that is, we understand his words. The name of a thing, in the original sense of the word name ( _nomen, \u03bd\u03bf\u03cd\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd, \u03c4\u1f78 intelligible, id quod intelligitur_ ) expresses that which is _understood_ in an appearance, that which we place (or make to _stand) under_ it, as the condition of its real existence, and in proof that it is not an accident of the senses, or _affection_ of the individual, not a phantom or apparition, that is, an appearance which is _only_ an appearance. ( _AR_ , 220\u20131)\n\nThe act of naming asserts that the thing named exists in a reality shared by speaker and auditor. Coleridge calls naming 'the condition of real existence' because the speaker effectively distinguishes between real and chimerical when he gives something a name: language does not supply names for entities beyond our imagination. Language expresses and records our knowledge through words, which signify not ideas, nor things, but the relation between an idea and its object.\n\nI can sharpen our focus on Coleridge's definition of 'word' by sketching its context. His assertion of the mind's active role in establishing the meanings of words contrasts sharply with the dominant Lockean tradition in linguistics. Throughout the third book, 'Of words', in his _An Essay concerning Human Understanding_ (first edition, 1690), Locke maintains that words signify ideas. Since ideas arise from experience of things (or reflections on such experience), words refer to objects only indirectly. In this contention, Locke himself differs sharply from the dominant linguistic tradition in his own day. The contrast can be simplified as follows: for Locke, words signify ideas (of objects); for John Wilkins and other seventeenth-century linguists, words signify (ideas of) objects. In his _An Essay Toward a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language_ (1668), Wilkins undertakes a monumental task: 'the great foundation of the thing here designed [is] a regular _enumeration_ and _description_ of all those things and notions, to which marks or names ought to be assigned according to their respective natures' (p. 1). Wilkins hopes to remedy the confusion of tongues and advance the cause of the Royal Society by inventing a language (his 'real character') in which there is a completely unequivocal one-to-one correspondence between signs and signifieds. (Despite losing his manuscript in the Great Fire, Wilkins completed this enumeration, and invented a language based on Hebrew.) Coleridge's definition of 'word' as the relation between idea and object places him intermediate between the positions represented by Locke and Wilkins, and in a line that Ernst Cassirer traces through Heraclitus, Plato, Berkeley, Herder and von Humboldt.\n\nColeridge's definition of 'word' represents language as participating intimately in the complex relation between mind and world: the process of naming and the process of knowing are represented as a single process. As the paragraph cited above continues, Coleridge develops the definition in two directions. First, as 'evidence', he cites the frequent identity in the Bible of _nomen_ (name) and _numen_ ('invisible power and presence'). His claim here has obvious affinities with such 'Platonic' theories as that of James Harris. Yet Harris contends that words refer not to 'external particulars, nor yet... particular ideas' but, rather, to 'general ideas'. These are 'a kind of superior objects; a new race of perceptions... each one of which may be found entire and whole in the separate individuals of an infinite and fleeting multitude, without departing from the unity and permanence of its own nature'. For Coleridge, the significance of language depends not on how words name objects (or universals) but, rather, on how words reveal the mind's activity.\n\nSecondly, he supports the definition of 'word' by explaining that the objects of understanding are strictly linguistic:\n\nThus, in all instances, it is words, names, or, if images, yet images used as words or names, that are the only and exclusive subjects of understanding. In no instance do we understand a thing in itself; but only the name to which it is referred.... No one would say he understands red or blue. He _sees_ the colour, and had seen it before in a vast number and variety of objects; and he understands the _word_ red, as referring his fancy or memory to this his collective experience. ( _AR_ , 222)\n\nSensation is predominantly a physical act; understanding is predominantly an intellectual one. We do not _know_ things in themselves: we feel or smell or touch them. In a characteristically adept use of Kant, Coleridge presents language as the principal vehicle for the interaction of knowing mind and concrete being:\n\nIf this be so, and so it most assuredly is \u2013 if the proper functions of the understanding be that of generalizing the notices received from the senses in order to the construction of names: of referring particular notices (that is, impressions or sensations) to their proper names; and, _vice versa_ , names to their correspondent class or kind of notices \u2013 then it follows of necessity, that the understanding is truly and accurately defined in the words of Leighton and Kant, a faculty judging according to sense. ( _AR_ , 222)\n\nIn studying language, we see how the free spirit or will can engage an intractably stable physical reality without losing its own freedom. When imagination dissolves and recreates the mind's relation to this world, words record the change. Language is framed to reveal the insights that philosophic self-consciousness attains, to express an intuitive penetration to the relation between God and man.\n\nLanguage is not only the medium of least resistance to the spirit, but also a powerful objective force in its own right. As political language so clearly reveals, those who manipulate the words that name our relations to events can very effectively shape our moral responses to the events themselves. For Coleridge, linguistic accuracy is at heart a moral issue, because precisely written texts are a moral resource. And that is the principal issue uniting the _Biographica's_ transcendental philosophy with its literary criticism.\n\nLet me explain the relation between language and truth in more detail, because it provides a major key to the philosophic origins of Coleridge's criticism. Because words reveal the mind's activity, one can say that language expresses the contents and activity of consciousness. In the manuscript 'Logic' Coleridge explains more fully an idea of grammar and logic that he barely sketches in the _Biographia_ (I, 14; II, 63\u20138, 116\u201317). Grammar, he explains, 'reflects the forms of the human Mind, and gradually familiarizes the half-conscious boy with the frame and constitution of his own Intellect'. This 'frame and constitution' is logic: 'it is plain that Logic[,] in as much as it presents the universal and necessary rules of the Understanding, must in these rules present likewise the criterion of truth, that is, of formal truth, or truth relative to the constitution or constituent forms, laws and rules of the thinking faculty'. In the 'Opus Maximum' manuscript, Coleridge clarifies his special interpretation of the common eighteenth-century equation between logic and grammar: 'In fact the science of grammar is but logic in its first exemplification or rather in its first product... i.e., _thoughts in connexion or connected language_ ' (my italics). Logic defines both the rules of correct understanding and the rules of correct word-use; as formalized in grammar, logic is the power of language to express relations. Although language itself does not constitute reality, it expresses the constituent forms of the understanding: the power to make relations.\n\nAs I explained in the first chapter, the most fundamental relation is that between ideas and the laws governing both physical and spiritual or psychological realities. Language can incarnate the relation between ideas and physical laws because it distinguishes perceptions from illusions. Language can incarnate the relation between ideas and spiritual laws because the logical, grammatical, relational features of language itself reveal the psychological laws of thinking for which the correlative idea is the Logos, the Word of God, whom we know through the fullest concurrent action of will, reason and faith. Because of these complementary capacities, language in its total complexity reveals and enacts the laws of the universe. Language embodies a dynamic and vital metaphysics sharply opposed to the fixity of materialism. In the _Philosophical Lectures_ Coleridge explores this idea of language at length, attributing it to Pythagoras and his heirs. Pythagoras was the first to recognize, Coleridge explains, that 'the very powers which in men reflect and contemplate, are in their essence the same as those powers which in nature produce the objects contemplated' ( _PhL_ , 114). These powers were 'by the Pythagoreans and Anaxagoras called the _Nous_ , (the _Logos_ or the _Word_ of Philo and St. John)' ( _PhL_ , 175). The _Philosophical Lectures_ develop this insight through analyses of such figures as Aristotle and Bacon, who study these powers as manifest in the natural world, and those such as Plato, who study them as manifest in the mind.\n\nLanguage is one of these manifestations in the mind. Plato 'direct[s] his inquiries chiefly to those objective truths that exist in and for the intellect alone, the images and representatives of which we construct for ourselves by figure, number, and word' ( _F_ , I, 492). Mathematics had long been taken as a model for absolute certitude; the apparently dramatic correspondence between the pure mathematical system and the observable world had always had metaphysical significance. Coleridge echoes the claim that words, like figures and numbers, are part of a perfect system which none the less reflects the form of an imperfect and changeable world. It is in its capacity to represent a (logical, grammatical) system of relations that language is analogous to mathematics.\n\nWords are to consciousness what geometrical figures are to space, or numbers to time ( _F_ , I, 440 n). Language symbolically represents both the relations of mind to world (the correlation of ideas and laws), and the relation of human knowledge to divine knowledge (logic and the _Logos_ ). Language differs from geometry in part because language changes and develops, while geometry does not (or would not have seemed to, for Coleridge). But this difference is minor. Although language is always changing, it is at any given point a perfect system, because it perfectly accords with consciousness itself, which is always changing. Had Coleridge recognized that the properties of space are still developing (in his sense), then he would have seen that geometry must develop apace.\n\nBecause accurate language reliably guides us to truth, and because unrecognized truths are apt to require astute linguistic distinctions for their intelligibility, many of Coleridge's arguments appeal to etymology, and to grammar and usage. Throughout his career, he urges desynonymizing as a route to clear understanding. It is, he says, 'the progress of language' ( _PhL_ , 368\u20139; see also 200\u20131). He bases arguments on the exact meanings of words, and cites or invents etymologies to make his point. He frequently structures arguments as inquiries into the precise meaning of a word, or the correct distinction between related words. These pervasive strategies are more than convenient rhetorical habits: they reflect deeply held convictions about the nature of language itself. Read against German transcendentalism, or certain strains in modern literary theory, Coleridge's view of the interactivity of language and consciousness appears to incorporate a high level of indeterminacy; but this is only an appearance. As the _Aids to Reflection_ unequivocally demonstrates, Coleridge firmly believed in the stability and universality of what used to be called 'human nature'. Eliminate this stability, or the theism underlying it, and the ideas which remain change character so radically that they should not be attributed to Coleridge.\n\nColeridge's idea of language underlies both the textual specificity of his best criticism, and its moral concerns. Poetry guides us to truth not by what it says \u2013 not by sermonizing \u2013 but by how its language reveals the fundamental relations animating consciousness and the world as humanly experienced. This idea also underlies his willingness to make value-judgments, because the distinction between intellectual knowing and physical sensing guarantees that we can judge the adequacy of verbal formulations by comparing actual experience and linguistic representation. Coleridge would take quick issue with the notion that words refer only to other words, and not to realities. He would say, I suspect, that dissolving either the connection or the distinction between word and signified is the same school-error as dissolving the connection or the distinction between sensation and object sensed: it breeds chimerical problems that only the original realism can escape.\n\nIn chapter XIV, Coleridge begins to present a theory of poetry that ties aesthetic pleasure to linguistic qualities that guarantee the moral value of art, yet without subordinating the poet's craftsmanship to a moral censor. Such a theory allows him to explain how philosophic imagination can generate both the pure diction and the moral insight that he recognized in Wordsworth's early poems (I, 56\u201360). It also allows close and sustained attention to diction _per se_ , and to the crucial role fancy plays in the effective presentation of imaginative insight. As the theory unfolds, one begins to see that the complementary functions of fancy and imagination in many ways reflect the complementarity of being and knowing, or faithful representation and self-conscious transformation. Poetics and metaphysics come into their fullest, richest balance in the critique of Wordsworth's theory and practice: Coleridge argues that Wordsworth's mistaken idea of language reflects a mistaken epistemology, and generates defective poems. Analyzing his errors, as Coleridge earlier analyzes the errors of 'the excellent and pious Hartley', reveals how the cooperative energies of fancy and imagination create a poetic cosmos in which mind and world are perfectly balanced and fully integrated.\n\nChapter XIV's account of the 'plan' for _Lyrical Ballads_ introduces an objectively oriented definition of poetry as a 'species of composition'. But as the chapter develops, Coleridge shifts the objective orientation into its opposite, primarily by changing from poem as text, to poem as reading, to poem as expression. He maintains the unity of this progression partly by anchoring himself in the poem as language, and partly by incorporating images that signal imagination's activity into his objective descriptions. The most striking such image is the reference to light in the account of _Lyrical Ballads_. The image is repeated from chapter XII and, more directly, from the description of Wordsworth's genius in chapter IV (I, 164\u20137; I, 59\u201360).\n\n... our conversations turned frequently on the two cardinal points of poetry, the power of exciting the sympathy of the reader by a faithful adherence to the truth of nature, and the power of giving the interest of novelty by the modifying colours of imagination. The sudden charm which accidents of light and shade, which moon-light or sun-set diffused over a known and familiar landscape, appeared to represent the practicability of combining both. These are the poetry of nature. (II, 5)\n\nLight affects not only how well we see, but also what we see. It both creates and reveals. The poet's rhetorical task is to modulate imagination's light so as to engage the reader's sympathy, and to avoid the disorientation reported by the 'friend' in chapter XIII. One who succeeds in this task opens new worlds to the reader, whether the purely fictional world of The Ancient Mariner', or the realistic but too often unknown world to which Wordsworth restores us (cf. I, 60; II, 6).\n\nIn defining _poem_ as 'a species of composition', Coleridge explains how the poet achieves these ends through poetic form. A poem is distinct from other uses of language by its use of rhyme, or metre, or both (II, 8), and by its immediate purpose or intent: pleasure for the reader (II, 9). This pleasure principle \u2013 the opposition between poems and 'works of science' \u2013 indirectly but no less certainly ensures that the great poem will fully embody an imaginative access into profound and fundamental truths. Because 'nothing can permanently please, which does not contain in itself the reason why it is so, and not otherwise', the features of poetic form must justify and require each other. These justifications and requirements can be for the reader's sake, or the poet's, or both; and so the argument begins to shift toward the subjective.\n\nBefore following, let us look more closely at the quality of pleasure poems afford, and its relation to truth. We delight primarily in what one may generally call the 'aptness' of a poem's expression, the reflexivity of 'form' and 'content', rather than the 'content' _per se_. But the nature of words and the nature of grammar guarantee that the utterly apt expression will truly reveal some aspect of the relations among God, man and a shared, immediately accessible reality. Lear was not a real king, perhaps; but to discredit or to ignore the play's truth on that ground is akin to discrediting Mendel's conclusions because his peas are not all peas. It is to mistake, profoundly, the character of the human activity in question. One attains truth about the laws governing physical reality by directly testing one's ideas. One attains truth about the laws governing intellectual or spiritual realities indirectly, by aiming at precise expression, by relying on the Logos. Only through primary, immediate attention to the delights of accurate and beautiful language does the poet reach poetry's 'proper ultimate end'. The ultimate truth of _King Lear_ is not Lear's fate, nor even the sum of propositions extractable from major speeches, but, rather, what the play reveals about human minds. The critic's task is to discover and to represent that truth in relation to its medium \u2013 as Coleridge himself does, for instance, in his famous study of _Hamlet's_ opening scene. This highly psychological (or epistemological) approach to literature has considerable value for much of the literature written since 1800, but it is not necessarily the most fruitful approach to Wordsworth's experiments with descriptive poetry. Coleridge sharply criticizes his attempts at a rigorous but enlightened objectivity.\n\nWhether or not truth is compatible with aesthetic pleasure from the utterly apt or self-justifying poetic form will depend upon the 'state of society' and the 'character of the author' \u2013 not the genre of the work (II, 9). Given what we have seen about contemporary society, and the authors who pander to it, this distinction between immediate and ultimate purpose resonates deeply with the controversy over _Lyrical Ballads_. Coleridge's account of the controversy often involves this distinction. When Wordsworth confuses the two ends, he sermonizes or bogs down in excessive detail. When he distinguishes and manages them properly, his diction improves; but he ensures the hostility of anonymous critics who either cannot or will not respond to genuinely imaginative works. The flaws of Wordsworth's theory make the flaccid diction of the immediately moral poems seem deliberate, and provide anonymous critics with excuses for ignoring the ultimate truth and immediate beauty of the imaginative poems.\n\nColeridge links proper aesthetic pleasure to the reader's imagination when he defines a ' _legitimate_ ' or excellent poem. Any poem must provide 'such delight from the _whole_ , as is compatible with a distinct gratification from each component _part_ ' (II, 10). But the great poem has more than such balance: it has unity in diversity. '... the parts... mutually support and explain each other; all in their proportion harmonizing with, and supporting the purpose and known influences of metrical arrangement', i.e. 'perpetual and distinct attention to each part' (II, 10). Metre enforces attention to parts, which reciprocally enforce attention to the whole. It leads the sensitive reader to the imaginative synthesis of an organic unity. Poetic language and poetic form together arouse the reader's imagination, and thereby generate aesthetic pleasure. Coleridge's account of this pleasure echoes both the first critical aphorism (I, 14) and the water-insect passage (I, 85\u20136):\n\nThe reader should be carried forward, not merely or chiefly by the mechanical impulse of curiosity, or by a restless desire to arrive at the final solution; but by the pleasureable activity of mind excited by the attractions of the journey itself. Like the motion of a serpent, which the Egyptians made the emblem of intellectual power; or like the path of sound through the air; at every step he pauses and half recedes, and from the retrogressive movement collects the force which again carries him onward. (II, 11)\n\nBecause the quintessential aesthetic pleasure arises from the act of reading, not \u2013 strictly speaking \u2013 from the content of what is read, one can reread, and reread again, with no diminution of pleasure. Novelty is not the point, although it is the principal attraction of the works written and praised by anonymous critics (I, 27 n). The identity of parts yet their unity in the whole reflects the identity of being and knowing yet their unity in consciousness. A poem can so intimately reveal or enact the nature of consciousness because language symbolizes the unity of being and knowing. Thus, the imaginative synthesis responsible for self-consciousness, and for truth, is also responsible for aesthetic pleasure.\n\nFrom this it follows that aesthetic pleasure can be generated by a work whose immediate purpose is truth, not pleasure \u2013 if the author is most powerfully imaginative (II, 11). In theory even metre is not crucial; it is principally an aid to modulating attention and thus increasing the pleasure most fully appropriate to poems. A poem differs from such poetry as Plato offers by using metre to accommodate the whole most completely to the intensely imaginative parts; it is crucial to the highest degree of such accommodation, whether from the poet's or the reader's standpoint. By using the word 'poetry' to refer to that which generates aesthetic pleasure generally, Coleridge affirms that the objective features of a poem (such as metre or poetic diction generally) exist to enhance, facilitate and sustain the reader's imaginative response. It is obvious that truth \u2013 the unity of being and knowing \u2013 cannot be the logical opposite of aesthetic pleasure. Although pleasure and truth will not be compatible for all readers, or for all poets, at all times, the highest aesthetic pleasure and the greatest truths will most probably and most often be found together.\n\nIn describing a poem's imaginative qualities, Coleridge has worked his way back to the imaginative qualities of great poets: 'What is poetry? is so nearly the same question with, what is a poet? that the answer to the one is involved in the solution of the other' (II, 12). The synthetic power of great poems can only arise from the synthetic power of great poets; the linguistically embodied relation between knowing mind and real world presumes an author for whom that relation is lucid and self-conscious. The famous portrait of the 'poet, described in _ideal_ perfection', translates the familiar features of imaginative activity generally into terms useful for describing the literary products of that activity. Imagination, we are told once again, functions within a complex of powers that must be balanced and coordinated properly. It is spontaneous, not relatively passive, nor chosen in complete independence, but retained under the 'gentle and unnoticed control' of the will and understanding (the relatively active and passive poles that it synthesizes). These familiar ideas are repeated here because they will play a major role in Coleridge's theory of metre, and his use of that theory as a basis for criticizing Wordsworth's theory and his poems. The description ends with a long catalogue of the relatively active and relatively passive qualities that imagination ' _fuses_ , each into each'. Coleridge breaks this catalogue into subordinate groups by changing whether the initial member of each group is objective or subjective:\n\nsame | different  \n---|---  \ngeneral | concrete  \nidea | image  \nrepresentative | individual  \nold and familiar objects | novelty and freshness  \norder | emotion  \njudgment | enthusiasm and feeling  \nartificial | natural  \nart | nature  \nmanner | matter  \nadmiration for the poet | sympathy with the poem\n\nThis catalogue has obvious affinities to the table of distinctions concerning will, and to the distinctions between relatively active and relatively passive in chapter IX (I, 66, 108\u20139). It also accords with chapter XVI's distinctions 'between the Poets of the present age and those of the 15th and 16th centuries' (II, 20). It represents again 'the two cardinal points of poetry': sympathy with the familiar, concrete, particular world; and interests in the novelty supplied by intellectual and artistic transformations. Because Wordsworth is quite nearly this ideal poet, these oppositions appear time and again in the commentary on his work. Coleridge's successful emphasis on this description helps make evident that Wordsworth's poetry \u2013 like all great poetry \u2013 synthesizes the powers of spirit with the animated world the spirit knows.\n\nThe catalogue serves thematic unity as well. Beginning here, the opposition between knowing and being shifts back into its earlier, more vivid and more useful forms: head and heart, judgment and passion, the centrifugal and centripetal forces of exactness and liveliness. So, too, the lines from Davies (as amended by Coleridge) translate the metaphysics of original realism into something less abstract and more useful for criticism: the insistence that imagination's powers must '\"Steal access through our senses to our mind\"' (II, 13), that imagination's powers can and must be concretely manifest in the experience of living and the experience of literature. This insistence strikes me as the quintessentially English side of Coleridge's theory, and simultaneously as the most fundamental appeal his theory makes to that soul within us who must 'awake and start up' at the annunciation of a genuine idea. A poem synthesizes intellectual, moral and emotional powers, not _by_ its words or their paraphrases, but _through_ its words, through the words' simultaneous relations to consciousness and to reality in all the complexities of both. A poem symbolizes the integrity of the human spirit in the fullness of its relation to all that is 'other'.\n\nAnd yet this unity is fully susceptible of analysis, because words are not the only medium of relation to the other. We have hands and eyes and ears to tell us whether a line successfully arouses an imaginative revision of the world we have known. In Chapter XV, on The specific symptoms of poetic power', Coleridge examines the roles played by four major components of a poem \u2013 versification, topic, imagery and ideas \u2013 to anchor the activity of imagination in particular features of the text. The chapter's design sets a pattern that later chapters often follow. On the one hand, the chapter offers numbered judgments on a single issue: the objective signs of poetic genius. On the other, the justifications for these judgments maintain an independent progression that gradually illuminates a major principle: the role of imagination in reading and writing. The numbered sequence engenders a sense of orderly momentum that is somewhat rare for Coleridge's prose, while the justifications hover in more characteristic fashion over a single but very complex idea. The strategy may be a carry-over from the conveniences of Schelling's numbered theses. Although helpful to the reader in a mechanical way, its artificiality \u2013 so rare a flaw in Coleridge \u2013 tends to obscure the center about which he circles.\n\nThe first section, on versification, defines how the poem's language sustains the poet's intimate relation with his reader. The poet's musical delight moves through the text to a reciprocal delight _in the reader_. The poet reduces the plenitude of his materials to unity of effect _on the reader_. One legitimate measure of a poem's quality, then, is the reader's response \u2013 a measure that underlies several crucial rhetorical patterns later on. These ideas come into much sharper focus when Coleridge examines Wordsworth's versification: his feeble prosody fails to move the reader; and the prosody is feeble because he himself lacks the passion or the materials that arouse musical prowess.\n\nThe second section, on the choice of subjects, explains that the poem's beauty (its imaginative fusion of universal and particular) derives from contemplation not observation \u2013 from secondary imagination, not primary. The comic tale of the indifferent statue with the divine legs enforces what is by now a familiar point in Coleridge's favorite way. The sexual passion of Venus or Adonis is even more easily distinguished from Shakespeare's creative passion (although, as with the goddess, distinction is not division: opposites meet). Once again, the poet's imaginative powers shape the reader's experience through the medium of the poem.\n\n['Venus and Adonis'] is throughout as if a superior spirit more intuitive, more intimately conscious... of the flux and reflux of the mind in all its subtlest thoughts and feelings, were placing the whole before our view; himself meanwhile unparticipating in the passions, and actuated only by that pleasurable excitement, which had resulted from the energetic fervor of his own spirit in so vividly exhibiting what it had so accurately and profoundly contemplated.... You seem to be told nothing, but to see and hear everything. Hence... the perpetual activity of attention required on the part of the reader; from the rapid flow, the quick change, and the playful nature of the thoughts and images; and above all from the alienation, and... the utter _aloofness_ of the poet's own feelings, from those of which is he at once the painter and the analyst. (II, 15\u201316)\n\nThe reader repeats the poet's dissolving and recreating through his distinct attention both to the parts as such and to the whole. The reader engages the artwork, not the sexual passion; he responds to contemplation's product, not its immediate subject. Coleridge further develops this point when he links Wordsworth's emphasis on observation and literal experience to the poems he regards as inexcusably dull.\n\nThe third section explains that the poem's images enact the transforming power of imagination. In a legitimate poem, images are shaped by the poet's creative or contemplative passion. Regarded objectively, images transcend space, time, and fragmented particularity by 'reducing multitude to unity, or succession to an instant' (II, 16). When engaged in the text, poet and reader dwell together and apart, not in 'that inanimate cold world allowed\/To the poor loveless ever-anxious crowd' but in 'A new Earth and new Heaven,\/Undreamt of by the sensual and the proud'. How? Images define relations, not just things. Pines like women with their backs to the wind are not just trees, but trees as seen by a human observer. The poet's power to observe himself observing, and his access to the spirit with all that involves, is most evident in the poem's imagistic language. By attending to the imagery, the reader sees the world as the poet sees it: the reader knows the poet's knowing. Coleridge later argues that Wordsworth's dramatic poems often fail because they delete this mediating consciousness: one sees _what_ the poet sees, not _how_.\n\nThe fourth section is the second of Coleridge's three general descriptions of poetic genius (II, 12, 19\u201320, 122\u20134). The first defines the polar oppositions that the poet reconciles in his works. This second one defines the oppositions reconciled in the consciousness of the poet _qua_ poet: the unity and identity in imagination of creative originality and fidelity to nature. Familiar images reappear to stress that this specifically poetic union develops gradually from the primary psychic unity of self-consciousness.\n\nIn Shakespeare's _poems_ the creative power and the intellectual energy wrestle as in a war embrace. Each in its excess of strength seems to threaten the extinction of the other. At length in the DRAMA they were reconciled, and fought each with its shield before the breast of the other. Or like two rapid streams, that, at their first meeting within narrow and rocky banks, mutually strive to repel each other and intermix reluctantly and in tumult; but soon finding a wider channel and more yielding shores blend, and dilate, and flow on in one current and with one voice. (II, 19)\n\nThe tumult that permanently characterizes the fanatic is also a stage of development for the genius; hence the speaker does not mind 'a certain degree of disputatiousness in a young man... provided I find him always arguing on one side of the question' (I, 13). For the genius, the will or true self soon fuses or reconciles opposing tendencies into a single, stronger power. Even in Shakespeare's early poems, however, we find his imagination clearly at work, and his 'dominion, often domination, over the whole world of language' (II, 19).\n\nAnd it is to the nature of language, particularly the poetic language of rhythm and image, that Coleridge turns in chapter XVI. Wordsworth's centrality in this poetics reflects his place in Coleridge's pantheon of great English poets. Shakespeare 'passes into all the forms of human character and passion'; Milton 'attracts all forms and things to himself, into the unity of his own IDEAL' (II, 20). There must be an intermediate kind of poetic genius, neither absorbed in nor absorbing the material world \u2013 just as a word names neither idea nor thing, but their relation. And this is the genius of Wordsworth, who is capable of writing the 'FIRST GENUINE PHILOSOPHIC POEM' (II, 129).\n\nLike chapter II, on 'the supposed irritability of men of Genius', chapter XVI at first glance seems digressive. Italian poets of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries do not seem to have much relevance either to Wordsworth, or to the analysis of poetry and poetic genius. That is because the predominant transition or relation between chapter XVI and the two preceding rests not on poetic theory, but on the chronological narrative of the speaker's 'literary life and opinions'. The continuity of that narrative relies primarily on renewing patterns and themes established in the first four chapters. Looking back at how chapter XIV echoes these early themes will show not only how chapter XVI fits in, but also how the genius-fanatic contrast provides a crucial context for the analysis of Wordsworth.\n\nThe most important contrast renewed in chapter XIV is that between anonymous and philosophical criticism. The speaker claims that Wordsworth and he have been victims of a literary inquisition in which acrimony replaces analysis.\n\nFrom the conjunction of perceived power with supposed heresy I explain the inveteracy and in some instances, I grieve to say, the acrimonious passions, with which the controversy has been conducted by the assailants[.]... the intellectual energy of the author, which was more or less consciously felt, where it was outwardly and even boisterously denied, meeting with sentiments of aversion to his opinions, and of alarm at their consequences, produced an eddy of criticism, which would of itself have borne up the poems by the violence, with which it whirled them round and round. (II, 7)\n\nThese reviewers are not critics, but 'assailants' who 'boisterously' deny their own intuitive apprehensions. The tornado-like 'eddy' that would of itself have borne the poems to prominence repeats the rising circular image of swarming bees from the first definition of the fanatic (I, 19). Whatever the equivocations of the Preface, such irresponsible and frantic criticism reveals more about the critic than it does about the poet.\n\nThe speaker wishes to extricate himself from this situation by declaring his differences from Wordsworth, and to extricate Wordsworth by explaining what he 'really meant'. The painstaking definitions of poem, legitimate poem, poetry and poet reinforce the speaker's status as a precise thinker. The visual, aural and semantic similarities of these terms may unnecessarily confuse and delay the reader, but they enhance the appearance of extreme precision. In much the same way, Chapter XV reminds us that the speaker is a learned man who knows relevant history thoroughly. Its numbering enforces the same sense of clarity and precision: nothing 'boisterous' here.\n\nIn this context, chapter XVI's account of Italian poets further enforces the speaker's scholarly responsibility. These poets may lack novelty or particularity, but the speaker certainly prefers their work to the utter confusion reigning in the diction of his contemporaries, whether poets or prose writers: '... the composition of our novels, magazines, public harangues, &c, is commonly as trivial in thought, and yet enigmatic in expression, as if ECHO and SPHINX had laid their heads together to construct it' \u2013 in pointed contrast to his own style in the preceding two chapters (II, 21\u20132).\n\nReading the chapter this way leads us easily enough to its role in the _Biographia_ generally: the qualities of fanatics always reverse those of geniuses; the discussion of fanaticism often introduces an explanation of the ground of the difference. The genius-fanatic contrast here points in two directions at once. First, it asserts that the poet must 'fuse, each into each', the interesting surprises of novelty and the utter predictability of a mannerist style. An excess of the first generates a work that gratifies curiosity alone; an excess of the second mutes attention to particular parts, and thus the pleasure of reading as an activity. Neither work will be reread as often as truly genial works are.\n\nSecondly, the denunciation of decadent modern style introduces Coleridge's major statement of the relation between truth and precision, or knowing mind and knowledgeable expression. The Italian side of a lost balance between the novel and the predictable is better than the fanatic side, because the Italians retain precise diction. They may be dull at times, but they are exact. In a manner characteristic of the _Biographia_ , this fullest statement of a crucial unproven point is a quotation \u2013 acknowledged properly, but not translated. The passage defending the Italians' style summarizes and reemphasizes the links among imagination, truth and pure diction that first appear in chapters I to IV.\n\nNay, even of those who have most rescued themselves from this contagion [by the style of magazines and harangues], I should plead inwardly guilty to the charge of duplicity or cowardice if I withheld my conviction that few have guarded the purity of their native tongue with that jealous care which the sublime Dante, in his tract 'De la nobile volgare eloquenza,' declares to be the first duty of a poet. For language is the armoury of the human mind; and at once contains the trophies of its past, and the weapons of its future conquests. 'See how easily men fall from the wrong use of words into errors about things themselves!' [Hobbes]. There are certainly plenty of things in this short life and dark world which are worth time to study, so that we need not spend time in trying to understand confused and many-sided discussions. Alas, cloudy words are so many failures, they say so much that they say nothing \u2013 clouds, rather, from which hurricanes burst, both in church and state! What Plato has said in the Gorgias is indeed true: \"Anyone who knows words will know things too\"; and as Epictetus says, \"the study of words is the beginning of education\"; and Galen wrote most wisely, \"Confusion in our knowledge of words makes confusion in our knowledge of things.\" J. C. Scaliger has indeed said excellently, in book I of his _Plants_ : \"A wise man's first duty (he says) is to think well so that he can live for himself; the next is to speak well so that he can live for his country.\"' (II, 22)\n\nThe references to church and state, to public duties, and to hurricanes focus the basic threat posed by anonymous critics: they corrupt the language. Bad judgment follows from bad writing, and bad writing from bad thinking; the popularity of their bad judgments impedes the healing and proper influence of genius \u2013 as both the speaker's and Wordsworth's careers demonstrate. Only the precise use of words will lead us to the truth about 'things themselves'. The original realism and the nature of language guarantee that any method which leads to the astute and exact knowledge of the physical world will simultaneously lead to knowledge of the spirit, because the transcendental analysis of consciousness shows that these proceed apace.\n\nChapter XVI ends with a transparent reference to Wordsworth: 'A lasting and enviable reputation awaits that man of genius, who should attempt and realize a union' (II, 24). One who achieves the syntheses characteristic of the ideal poet will be hailed as a genius \u2013 or ought to be. When Coleridge describes Wordsworth's poetry as achieving these qualities, we are to see Wordsworth as wrongly deprived of the laurels that are his. As the portrait of genial Wordsworth gains detail, so does the condemnation of his critics (chapter XXI), and the speaker's (chapter XXIV). We are left with the idea of a choice between genial imaginative Christianity and fanatical materialist atheism, a choice that we are to see as influencing every human activity and every aspect of our own experience. Wordsworth, and to a lesser extent the speaker himself, are to stand as symbols for the great traditional values both in literature and in life.\n\n# **7 Wordsworth and Poetic Diction**\n\n> Poets (especially if philosophizers too) are apt to represent the effect made on themselves as general \u2013 the Geese of Phoebus are all Swans, & Wordsworth's Shepherds & Estatesmen all Wordsworths, even (as in old Michael) in the _un_ poetic traits of character. Whether mountains have any particular effect on the native inhabitants, by virtue of being mountains exclusively, & what that effect is, would be a difficult problem.... \u2013 But this subject I have discussed, & (if I do not flatter myself) satisfactorily in the Literary Life, & I will not conceal from _you_ , that this inferred dependency of the human soul on accidents of Birthplace & Abode together with the vague misty, rather than mystic, Confusion of God with the World & the accompanying Nature-worship, of which the asserted dependence form a part, is the Trait in Wordsworth's poetic Works that I most dislike, as unhealthful, & denounce as contagious....\n> \n> Letter to Thomas Allsop, 8 August 1820 ( _Collected Letters_ , V, 94\u20135)\n\nIn his arguments about diction, Coleridge builds upon the classical rhetoricians' belief that language can both express and evoke emotion. According to Coleridge, however, poetic language expresses and evokes not feelings but imaginative activity itself. This dual capacity arises from and requires the essential interdependence of imagery, metre, subject-matter and thought. As Abrams has so lucidly explained, Coleridge's subsequent influence on literary criticism has followed in large measure from his successfully accommodating rhetorical tools of analysis with a philosophically grounded idea of the creative imagination. In chapters XVII and XVIII, Coleridge explains at length how effective poetic diction simultaneously derives from and arouses imagination, an explanation that proceeds step by step with his critical commentary on Wordsworth's Preface to _Lyrical Ballads_.\n\nTo meet the needs of his own exposition, Coleridge 'adapts' the Preface, just as he adapts the works and the theories of Kant, Aristotle and Schelling. But in each case, and most clearly with Wordsworth, the adaptation is probably also intended to illuminate more clearly a fundamental truth \u2013 or a fundamental error \u2013 that the author himself represents only partially. Coleridge follows a principle of interpretation that he enunciates most clearly in the _Philosophical Lectures_ : 'the individual is... subordinated to the history of philosophy' ( _PhL_ , 205). In Wordsworth's case, the fundamental error is trying to describe imaginative works in associationist terms that ultimately attribute to the landscape a spirit and moral purpose that belong only to God and to man. According to Coleridge, Wordsworth's befuddled theory and its consequences combine the worst errors of both English mechanism and Continental pantheism, because he does not sufficiently emphasize the mind's priority over matter. In reading the Preface and the poems, Coleridge seizes the points where Wordsworth does not assert this logical and moral priority so as to develop at length the aesthetic inadequacies of an associationist theory of poetry and poetic diction.\n\nColeridge's criticism of Wordsworth's theory depends in part on his conflating Preface and Appendix, and in part on his ignoring how the Appendix qualifies and clarifies several major ideas. Wordsworth has been ably defended on several fronts; only a few points need to be repeated here. The most important of these concerns what Wordsworth means by contrasting the 'real language of men' with 'poetic diction'. In the opening paragraphs of the Appendix, Wordsworth contrasts 'real language' with the 'distorted language' known as 'poetic diction' \u2013 the special stock of words and images regarded as poetic because they are remote from ordinary speech and utilitarian prose. This poetic diction, Wordsworth explains, is characterized by 'various degrees of wanton deviation from good sense and nature', whereas real language maintains a 'natural connection' with 'feelings and thoughts'. The real language of men has two subclasses: 'ordinary language' and the 'genuine language of passion', which is 'daring, and figurative'. So-called poetic diction falsely imitates 'the original figurative language of passion' through the 'mechanical adoption of these figures of speech... applied... to feelings and thoughts with which they ha[ve] no natural connection whatsoever'. In time, 'by the influence of books upon men', the distortions and inanities of poetic diction become to some extent the conventional diction of all writers of verse. In proposing 'to adopt the very language of men', consequently, Wordsworth asserts his fidelity to 'good sense and nature', and to the 'daring, and figurative' language of genuine passion.\n\nHe is not proposing to wander about with a notebook, as Coleridge suggests; but he is judging poetic diction primarily by the quality of the words' relations to realities they name. Wordsworth's account of poetic diction probably reflects Hartley, Don Bialostosky explains, for whom a 'real language' is one in which words refer to sensations and feelings rather than to other words, as in a 'nominal language'. To Coleridge, this entire view of language is profoundly mistaken: words name the complex activity of the mind in knowing and reacting, not just the things known or the consequent emotions. Coleridge ignores the qualifying contexts of Wordsworth's statements about 'the real language of men' so as to focus more sharply on this mistakenly empiricist idea of language.\n\nSimilar motives underlie Coleridge's reading of the statement, ' _There neither is or can be any essential difference between the language of prose and metrical composition_ ' (II, 45). Wordsworth makes this equation to deduce the applicability of 'good sense and natural feeling' as criteria for poetic imagery. If these criteria apply, then the distortions of poetic diction lose validity. Furthermore, the prose works he has in mind are not scientific treatises, but 'works of _imagination and sentiment_ '. Coleridge ignores Wordsworth's context so as to make this statement into an appropriate opposition for his own argument that metre, imagery and passion are essentially interdependent. Once again, however, a genuine disagreement underlies Coleridge's questionable reading. As I will explain in more detail later, Wordsworth attributes a balancing power to metre that Coleridge attributes to imagination itself.\n\nColeridge seldom demonstrates much scholarly responsibility in his use of others' texts, and his handling of the Preface is no exception to this fault. But in this case, at least, some of his motives remain quite near to the surface, especially if one compares the 1800 and 1802 editions of the Preface. In 1802 and subsequent editions, Wordsworth's expanded explanation of 'real language' discredits Coleridge's account of an unduly literal observation and selection, but Wordsworth does insist that the poet cannot hope to replicate the 'liveliness and truth' of the language of actually impassioned men. Nature remains greater than art. Coleridge disagrees: 'In poetry, in which every line, every phrase, may pass the ordeal of deliberation and deliberate choice, it is possible, and barely possible, to attain that ultimatum which I have ventured to propose as the infallible test of a blameless style; its _untranslatableness_ in words of the same language without injury to the meaning' (II, 115). Deliberation and revision, not immediate passion, underlie the most lively, exact and potent expression. As Wimsatt and Brooks explain, reformers of poetic diction can usually be classified in two ways: those who appeal to 'the directly passionate, the naturally spoken word', and those who appeal to the 'educated spoken word', as models of clarity and vitality. This division is, perhaps, the poetic equivalent of the division into Aristotelians and Platonists; Wordsworth is in one group, and Coleridge in the other. Each argues that meditation and observation must be finely balanced, but each portrays the balance from the perspectives supplied by his own experience and character.\n\nThe design of chapters XVII and XVIII is at once pellucid and extraordinarily difficult to describe. As I said before, Coleridge argues the necessary interdependence of subject-matter, metre, imagery and thought in producing the highest aesthetic effects. But this whole argument is closely interwoven with his evaluation of Wordsworth, and its central point unfolds as slowly as a flower's opening. Because all of Coleridge's transitions orient us to Wordsworth, the integrity and coherence of his counter-argument appear only retrospectively; yet this counter-argument supplies the single perspective that unifies Coleridge's analysis of Wordsworth's theories and his poems. As a result, the narrative account of Wordsworth and the philosophical account of poetry and imagination are so closely interwoven that neither makes much sense without the other.\n\nLet me sketch this main point as briefly and plainly as I can. The interdependence of parts, or the 'organic' unity of a poem, derives from the poet's imagination. Poetic skill depends on contemplation, on imaginative self-consciousness, not on observation of things or imitations of traditions, because it is a verbal art. Words exist within the relation between mind and all that it knows; words embody consciousness itself. It follows that one who is most fully self-conscious will use words most precisely, and thereby reveal most reliably both the exquisite physical sensibility and the moral insight that comprise imaginative genius. Words can carry such a burden only when organized into metre (which embodies, evokes and sustains passion) and images (which characterize realities _as known by_ a human consciousness). The reality that poems 'imitate', then, is not the objective world as such but, rather, the consciousness of the poet himself _in his encounters with_ the objective world. Poets must rely not on primary imagination's rendering of the objective physical world, but on secondary imagination's rendering of man's intimate relation to that world. Only through the secondary power of 'wedding Nature' do we find in poems pine-trees like women with their backs to the wind. Only thereby do we find in poems not a world of fixed and morally remote objects but, rather, a world animated by value and meaning. It follows from this that the poet's only genuine subject-matter is himself, and the only ideas he presents will be ideas about the activity of consciousness in the world around it. Wordsworth's theories err and his poems fail when he attributes to objects \u2013 to metres, to landscapes, to garrulous seamen \u2013 imaginative qualities and aesthetic powers that properly belong only to himself. This is truly a fault of which none but the genius is capable, and so Coleridge's criticisms are a backhanded praise slowly verging into full celebration of the great philosophic poet.\n\nColeridge's adaptation of Wordsworth's theory begins with the speaker's opening summary of their agreements. The speaker praises Wordsworth's call for 'a reformation in our poetic diction', but without acknowledging Wordsworth's predominant concern with how convention and tradition can shape the reader's expectations and thus his judgment (II, 28). Wordsworth's interest in what he calls the 'contract' between reader and poet locates the question about diction in pragmatic contexts sometimes remote from Coleridge's philosophical and theoretical concerns. The speaker's opening criticism of Wordsworth's rule that proper diction for poetry 'consists altogether in a language taken, with due exceptions, from the mouths of men in real life' also fails to supply the context that makes the rule intelligible (II, 29).\n\nThese deficiencies permit Coleridge to open his own account of poetic diction by shifting Wordsworth's issue from qualities of imagery to qualities of style generally: the less declamatory kinds of poetry will use sentence structures and vocabulary not profoundly different from those found in ordinary prose or in educated speech:\n\nMy objection is, first, that in _any_ sense this rule is applicable only to _certain_ classes of poetry; secondly, that even to these classes it is not applicable, except in such a sense, as hath never by any one (as far as I know or have read) been denied or doubted; and lastly, that as far as, and in that degree in which it is _practicable_ , yet as a _rule_ it is useless, if not injurious, and therefore either need not, or ought not to be practised. (II, 29\u201330)\n\nColeridge was certainly familiar with the criticism that both denied and doubted the propriety of the less stylized diction Wordsworth advocates, and his readers would have been just as familiar. The speaker's paradoxical statement directs emphasis to what will prove to be Coleridge's major point. If by imitating the real language of men Wordsworth means no more than following the conventions of pure, distinct English, why is the rule 'as a rule... injurious'?\n\nAny rule that directs the poet toward observation at the expense of meditation threatens or weakens imaginative self-consciousness. The poet does not imitate; he contemplates himself observing. Even grammar is but 'the laws of universal logic, applied to psychological materials' (II, 38). The _Philosophical Lectures_ provide a useful gloss here: the wise man realizes, Coleridge explains, that both observation and meditation are crucial. But which is primary? For Coleridge, as we have seen, meditation is primary. The hazard posed by the Preface is in its according primacy to observation \u2013 whether of real men or of beautiful landscapes.\n\nThe speaker's initial evaluation of rustic diction turns in part on a demographic quibble: those Wordsworth imitates \u2013 shepherds like Michael \u2013 are not ' _low_ and rustic'. Wordsworth mistakenly attributes to rural residence what he ought to attribute to the economic status and educational level of the self-employed working class. The speaker's argument seems to suggest that Coleridge would have been satisfied if Wordsworth had imitated educated and prosperous rustics because they are usually free from the affectations and ambitions of the rising urban middle class. But the speaker's further critique of rural life itself begins to reveal the basic issue: Wordsworth confuses the essentially rural character with the essentially self-conscious character. Setting is ultimately irrelevant to the self-conscious mind: Wordsworth's idea of low and rustic life attributes to environment a power it does not have.\n\nThe speaker's defense of his position unfolds the aesthetic principles that ought to guide the poet's choice of characters. Properly imagined characters must synthesize an idea with its image in the natural world:\n\nI adopt with full faith the principle of Aristotle, that poetry as poetry is essentially ideal... the _persons_ of poetry must be clothed with _generic_ attributes, with the _common_ attributes of the class: not with such as one gifted individual might possibly possess, but such as from his situation it is most _probable_ before-hand that he _would_ possess. (II, 33\u20134)\n\nWordsworth's emphasis on the rural particularity of his essentially self-conscious characters is inappropriate because these particulars are not _necessarily_ related to the universal he is portraying. A long footnote describes this error as both an aesthetic flaw and a failure to meet art's ultimate end:\n\nOne of the essential properties of Geometry is not less essential to dramatic excellence; and Aristotle has accordingly required of the poet an involution of the universal in the individual. The chief differences are, that in Geometry it is the universal truth, which is uppermost in the consciousness; in poetry the individual form, in which the truth is clothed. (II, 33 n)\n\nThe poem's involution of ideal and individual transforms the reader's consciousness in the same way that the unity and identity of parts does. The symbolic union of particular and universal leads to the 'temporary oblivion' of the literal self because it is that change in the form (i.e. the activity) of the reader's consciousness called 'aesthetic pleasure'. Coleridge's argument shifts, from a critique of 'low and rustic' characters to a critique of any character particularized by what is not essential. Only through an essential and necessary relation between particular and universal does a character achieve the symbolic potence and moral value expected in literature. Only through such characters can a poet 'transport the mind to a sense of its possible greatness... suspending our individual recollections and lulling them to sleep amid the music of nobler thoughts' (II, 33 n).\n\nThe speaker's analysis of Wordsworth's poems about rustics suggests that the essentially self-conscious character is the poet himself. Wordsworth's willingness to de-emphasize the observing eye \u2013 to look steadily at the object _qua_ object \u2013 leads too often to a mere objectivity in which the reader encounters nothing he might not have seen for himself. The reader's vision is neither clarified nor purified by such poems, which fail to achieve the synthesis that first drew Coleridge to Wordsworth's verse (see I, 59\u201360). In the quoted passage from 'Michael' we watch Wordsworth describing, judging and explaining. We observe his observing. But in 'The Thorn' we see _what_ the poet observes, not _how_. Garrulous old seamen and their tales can be charming, if one is in the proper frame of mind to be charmed \u2013 but the charm is absent from the poem itself because the observing and transforming mind is relatively absent. Wordsworth in effect demands that his readers possess imaginative powers equal to his own, as if he need only supply such materials as proved congenial to his own genius. In Coleridge's eyes, such methods reveal a failure to understand the origins of aesthetic pleasure. In The Thorn' 'the parts... which might as well or still better have proceeded from the poet's own imagination, and have been spoken in his own character, are those which have given, and which will continue to give, universal delight' (II, 36). In 'The Thorn', and even more clearly in 'The Mad Mother', Wordsworth's excessively objective portraits have limited aesthetic power because the muting of imagination allows the reader's fancy to have its own way, to supply associations that do not belong to the created whole (II, 35).\n\nWordsworth's defense of rustic language _per se_ , the speaker suggests, reflects the same mistaken and excessive objectivity as his choice of rustic characters. The 'best part of language' derives not from the best objects ('the beautiful and permanent forms of nature') but from the most potent imaginations. The best part of language is relational and philosophic; it distinctly refers to the activities of the mind, not to the material world _per se_ :\n\n... the educated man chiefly seeks to discover and express those _connections_ of things, or those relative _bearings_ of fact to fact, from which some more or less general law is deducible. For _facts_ are valuable to a wise man, chiefly as they lead to the discovery of the indwelling _law_ , which is the true _being_ of things, the sole solution of their modes of existence, and in the knowledge of which consists our dignity and our power.... The best part of human language, properly so called, is derived from reflection on the acts of the mind itself. It is formed by a voluntary appropriation of fixed symbols to internal acts, to processes and results of imagination, the greater part of which have no place in the consciousness of uneducated man.... (II, 39\u201340)\n\nThe 'internal acts' that are the 'processes and results of imagination' are, of course, perception and self-consciousness. Because a word refers simultaneously to the consciousness of its speaker and to the external world, language is ideally suited for the discovery and communication of relations \u2013 and hence principles (cf. I, 124\u20135, 146\u20137). In a poet's hands, language can generate the identity and unity of pleasure and truth, particular and universal, part and whole that underlie aesthetic pleasure, because the dual reference of words (a duality most evident in a good image) reveals self-consciousness directly. The usage Wordsworth advocates, the speaker explains, is not essentially rustic but essentially imaginative, and therefore the possession of no one social or economic class. The diction ideally suited for poetry is the poet's own.\n\nIt is worth pausing here to recall I. A. Richards's often-criticized argument that the difference between imaginative and fanciful verse derives from the number and quality of relations among 'parts or units of meaning'. Grant the importance of _relation_ in Coleridge's thought and in his idea of imaginative aesthetic response, and Richards's argument does not necessarily reduce the difference between fancy and imagination to a difference merely of degree. The superior intimacy of relation of imaginative verse, as Richards so brilliantly describes it, can only derive from the fact that each 'unit' relates to the others not as object to object, but in and through the ways in which each 'unit' relates to the expressive human consciousness. The more fully the self-conscious imagination synthesizes the moral spirit with the world it knows, the more coherently and beautifully will that world be represented in words. The quality of relation that the best part of language expresses underlies both poetry's aesthetic power and its moral value.\n\nChapter XVII's concluding remarks on 'in a state of excitement' draws a necessary distinction. Not any language used by the imaginative poet is thereby a poem. However deep Coleridge's interest in 'expressive' theories of poetry, his original realism in its literary bearings locates aesthetic value in textual features. These features are defined in chapter XVIII, but first, here in the concluding lines of chapter XVII, the speaker establishes the necessary link between textual features and the poet's consciousness. Passion, he argues, translates ability into performance, arousing the fullest possible exertion of faculties subordinated to each other:\n\nFor the nature of a man's words, where he is strongly affected by joy, grief, or anger, must necessarily depend on the number and quality of the general truths, conceptions and images, and of the words expressing them, with which his mind had been previously stored. For the property of passion is not to _create_ ; but to set in increased activity. (II, 42)\n\nBut neither is any impassioned speech thereby poetry. If it were, of course, then Wordsworth would be right: it is probable that actually passionate men would use a more vivid and poetic language than poets writing silently at their desks. chapter XVIII, on metre, takes up this problem.\n\nThe transition from chapter XVII to chapter XVIII, over which I suspect most readers barely pause, deserves a moment of consideration. The transition is designed to be hurried past: chapter XVIII begins 'I conclude' and its opening paragraph closes the analysis of Wordsworth's idea of rustic language by arguing that he who can select and purify must possess principles that obviate the need to imitate at all. This style of connecting suggests that we are to see the chapters as distinct, but hardly separate. Why? Why not assemble chapters XVII and XVIII into one whole the size of chapter X or XII? The symmetries thereby established would have been elegant indeed, and utterly Coleridgean in their complexity.\n\nBut other Coleridgean subtleties are at work here. Coleridge often closes off one chapter or essay or section at the point where an underlying problem impedes progress, so that the next part can address that problem directly. One not alert to the growing impediment may feel that Coleridge has veered off into a tangent, when in fact he has delved under his main argument. These subterranean pursuits are most evident in the shifts into chapter II, on the irritability of men of genius, or chapter VIII, on idealism and materialism, or chapter IX, on mystics and German philosophers. Coleridge's habits in this regard suggest that the prudent reader must reflect carefully on chapters that end at unexpected points, and on chapters that engage unexpected issues. But the question remains \u2013 why the failure to orient us with conventional transitions? Why not tell us where he is going, and why? Coleridgean carelessness again? More inconsiderate haste? In part, perhaps; but in part also for reasons near to the heart of Coleridge's thought.\n\nThese impeding problems are commonly metaphysical ones and, as such, usually ask questions for which, Coleridge argued, no irrefutable logical answer is possible. To write a highly visible, sharply focussed transition, he would have to engage these difficult technical problems in all their original complexity. But on that technical level his own solutions are themselves lengthy and elaborate. He chooses instead \u2013 and most prudently \u2013 to engage only the practical consequences of the metaphysical problem, and furthermore to engage only those consequences immediately crucial for the problem at hand. (Given the sophistication of Coleridge's thinking, that sometimes excludes only a little of the technicalities; but in general I have observed notable restraint at various points throughout his prose works.) Readers are apt to lose themselves none the less because Coleridge's prudent decisions require transitions that are exquisitely sensitive to the needs and perceptions of the audience. Coleridge seldom demonstrates such tact. The reader perplexed by chapter divisions often has few options but rereading, searching diligently for the relations between one chapter and the next. It is an annoying task, because Coleridge has bungled a rudimentary aspect of his craft; but one who persists will always be rewarded.\n\nThe unformulated technical problem here, as I have suggested, concerns the relation between passion and language, or the distinction between the genial poet's ordinary use of language and his poetry. One might argue that any impassioned statements by an imaginative person ought to be imaginative, and thereby to possess interior relations that stir the attentive reader or auditor to imaginative aesthetic response. Common sense objects that the notion is nonsense, but chapter XVII does not preclude the error. So far as I know, chapter XVIII's definition of the relation proceeds in the only style Coleridge ever uses on the problem: practical discussions of poems and of reading. These discussions appeal to the ear and to the mind of an experienced literary critic. They argue not about linguistics, but about prosody and figures.\n\nBefore considering this argument, let me summarize the position Coleridge has advanced in opposition to Wordsworth's. A poem's best speaker or its best character must be ideal, or a fully representative instance of the universal that the poem reveals. The best language for a poem is relational or philosophic. It follows from all this that the best model for the poet, or the best diction for poetry, is the language of the impassioned philosopher \u2013 the poet himself: 'No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound _philosopher_ ' (II, 19). This idea underlies Coleridge's disapproval of Wordsworth's dramatic poems (II, 36, 53, 55, 109), and his suggestion that Wordsworth's theory is not what it appears to be (II, 29, 69, 77, 95).\n\nChapter XVIII begins and ends by asserting that the interrelation of parts in poetry depends upon imagination. The genuinely educated (i.e. imaginative) man can 'subordinate and arrange the different parts according to their relative importance, [so] as to convey [his meaning] at once and as an organized whole' (II, 44), whereas in 'pseudo-poesy' one finds only 'compulsory juxtaposition' (II, 65, 68). The highest degree of this accommodating of parts to the whole, we were told in chapter XIV, requires metre (II, 11). In chapter XVIII, Coleridge argues that metre is essential (II, 49\u201357), that the quality of metre and the quality of diction are interdependent (II, 57\u201363), and that both depend on the potence and facility of the poet's imagination. Accommodating Wordsworth to this argument requires interpreting his 'essential difference' as a matter of style \u2013 what Coleridge calls 'the formal construction, or architecture, of the words and phrases' (II, 48). Wordsworth's account of the relation between prose and poetry is not entirely clear, I grant; but Coleridge's interpretation of his meaning seems beyond defense. Coleridge's painstaking analysis of the word 'essential' serves primarily to rule out Wordsworth's most probable meaning: the neoclassic (or pseudoneoclassic) stock of images and figures, now reduced to blurred clich\u00e9s, are not absolutely requisite for poetry. Coleridge's motive is again out of sight, but not entirely out of reach. The error signaled by the equation, although not embedded in it, is the idea that expressive authenticity is an adequate measure of poetic diction if the expression reflects a pure and proper relation to the landscape. But the poet must look steadily at both his subject and his audience. Wordsworth's ultimate error, in Coleridge's eyes, is his somewhat na\u00efve faith that the unbiased reader will respond to the poet's 'subject' in the ways that the poet did.\n\nChapter XVIII is quintessentially Coleridgean in the style of its argument. Coleridge's theory of poetic diction, like his theory of mind, depends on intuition. Such a theory can be both accurate and rigorously conceived because all knowledge ultimately depends upon 'the IMMEDIATE, which dwells in every man, and on the original intuition or absolute affirmation of it' (I, 168). The critic, like the transcendental philosopher, cannot achieve 'objective' verification because the phenomenon he studies is not an object, but a self-conscious experience. The quality of a poem does not reside in the text as a thing in itself, but in the poem as read, in the poem's power to evoke a particular kind of response from the sensitive and experienced reader called the 'philosophic critic'. And yet the 'original realism' guarantees that the text as read and the text as a thing in itself are the same, so that it is possible to define and to argue about how specific features of the text _per se_ affect the reader's response. The experience of reading is the foundation of all critical analysis. In many ways, the whole logical structure of chapter XVIII is designed to focus our detailed and self-conscious attention on the fact that reading poetry _feels_ differently from reading prose. When this feeling is not evoked by a versified text, we are disappointed, we feel cheated of a pleasure that is our due \u2013 even if the bad lines offer interesting ideas or true statements.\n\nThe arguments on the origin and effects of metre define metre's significance both for the poet and for the reader. For the poet, metre expresses the balance of passion with order: the imagination spontaneously seeks to reassert the symmetry of passion and thought that an excess of passion threatens. This high-energy synthesis can be deliberately maintained, and its expression will be 'organized into _metre_... by a supervening act of the will and judgement, consciously and for the foreseen purpose of pleasure' (II, 50). The psychic and linguistic processes that require metre require imagery as well:\n\nthis union [of ' _spontaneous_ impulse and of _voluntary_ purpose'] can be manifested only in a frequency of forms and figures of speech (originally the offspring of passion, but now the adopted children of power) greater than would be desired or endured, where the emotion is not voluntarily encouraged and kept up for the sake of that pleasure, which such emotion, so tempered and mastered by the will, is found capable of communicating. (II, 50)\n\nThe poet's fancy and his imagination must co-operate both in the deliberate sustaining of the imagination's synthesis, and in the deliberately metrical and figurative expression of this synthesis. Voluntary and spontaneous powers of mind must interpenetrate.\n\nThe decision to write in metre is, after all, a deliberate choice. Metre _per se_ , the assembling of iambic pentameter lines, is a mechanical (albeit skilled) task. The poem will succeed, however, only to the extent that the mechanical regularity of metre can be transformed into rhythm \u2013 only to the extent that metrical regularity is enlightened by variations and substitutions that reveal the passion in all its vitality. The poem's success also depends on the propriety of the forms and figures the poet chooses: it is 'the prerogative of poetic genius to distinguish by parental instinct its proper offspring from the changelings, which the gnomes of vanity or the fairies of fashion may have laid in its cradle' (II, 64\u20135). When imagination fails to vitalize the composing process itself, the poem's images degenerate into 'mere creatures of an arbitrary purpose, cold technical artifices of ornament or connection' (II, 64). In short, the cooperative agency of fancy and imagination in poetic diction ultimately depends upon the continued governing power of imagination itself.\n\nMetre not only expresses the poet's sustained, modulated passion, but also arouses the reader's faculties. For the reader, metre 'tends to increase the vivacity and susceptibility both of the general feelings and of the attention'; it functions 'as a medicated atmosphere, or as wine during animated conversation' (II, 51). The speaker offers no proof of this point, just as he presumes the equally traditional link between the poet's passion and metrical expression. And once again he uses the connection as grounds for insisting on highly figurative diction:\n\nWhere, therefore, correspondent food and appropriate matter are not provided for the attention and feelings thus aroused, there must needs be a disappointment felt; like that of leaping in the dark from the last step of a stair-case, when we had prepared our muscles for a leap of three or four. (II, 51)\n\nThe intimate relations among the poet's passion, prosody and diction and the reader's pleasure supply the grounds for Coleridge's particular judgments about the diction of individual poems: undistinguished or prosaic diction and flaccid prosody will vary together (see II, 53\u20134).\n\nThe speaker pauses here to refute the Preface in more detail, because Coleridge's argument to this point resembles Wordsworth's in several regards. Both poets assert the commonplace connection between metre and pleasurable excitement in both poet and reader. But for Wordsworth metre modulates the poet's impassioned expression, elevating or damping its effects as necessary to maximize the reader's pleasure. For Wordsworth, metre and diction are complementary opposites; for Coleridge, they are the coinherent expressions of a prior balance within the poet's consciousness. Coleridge makes so much of this point because Wordsworth's error apparently underlies his inferior poems (II, 53). Metres do not modulate passion to create an integral aesthetic effect: the synthetic imagination does. The poems to which the speaker refers resemble each other principally in the disproportionate bulk of physical details that are not immediately requisite to the poet's impassioned response to the event depicted in the poem. Once again, Coleridge complains that Wordsworth attributes to things themselves \u2013 to metres _per se_ , or to the edematous ankles of old huntsmen \u2013 a power that resides not in the thing but in imagination.\n\n'Notwithstanding the beauties which are to be found in each of them where the poet interposes the music of his own thoughts', the speaker remarks, these poems would have been 'more delightful to me in prose... in a moral essay or pedestrian tour' (II, 53). Where Wordsworth's diction fails to provide appropriate matter for the reader's awakened feelings and attention, 'the metre itself must often become feeble' (II, 54). The speaker paradoxically attributes this excessive objectivity and prosodical flatness not to a lack of passion, as his theory would predict, but, rather, to 'the susceptibility of [Wordsworth's] own genius' (II, 54). As we shall see in much more detail later on, Coleridge deflects this potentially crucial failure into a criticism not of Wordsworth's impassioned imagination but, rather, of his fancy. Wordsworth must attend more carefully to the general state of association if he is to communicate his imaginative vision intelligibly (II, 105). When he fails to accommodate his own exquisite 'susceptibility' to the needs of blunter minds, his prosody and diction are apt not to communicate his passion. They are apt to be prosaic. And such prosaicism, like his theoretical errors, is the fault of none but a genius. Coleridge himself makes a characteristic mistake at this point: the paradox presented here gives rise to most of chapter XXII, but there is little that communicates this link to even the most sympathetic reader.\n\nThe speaker's third argument for metre defines the relation between passion and metre in more generally applicable terms. Lyrics are not the only poetic kind, after all; and even lyrics are not unrelentingly emotional. The speaker begins with references back to chapter XIV: metre is essential to poetry because it excites the distinct attention to parts that underlies aesthetic pleasure. But not all parts of a poem are essentially poetic \u2013 not all parts are the immediate expression of imaginative vision (II, 10\u201311, 55\u20136). There must be a mordaunt \u2013 a chemical fixative \u2013 to integrate these relatively unpoetic parts within the whole. This mordaunt is the poet's excitement in the act of composing. Such excitement is not an emotion _per se_ , but it is none the less a passion in the philosophic sense. As a passion, it, too, will require and involve metrical, figurative expression. The speaker's fourth argument restates this point more simply: poetry requires metre because metre underlies both the integral relation of distinguishable parts and the aesthetic pleasure of imaginative reading. The fifth argument appeals to literary tradition \u2013 a weighty argument for a conservative like Coleridge, but, as time has shown, his least reliable. Literary history no longer so unequivocally supports the necessity of metre.\n\nIn the last part of chapter XVIII the speaker apparently moves from abstract theorizing to practical examination of lines from Gray, Spenser and Daniel. But Coleridge is very seldom 'redundant' in this way. Although never losing hold of metre as the contested issue, Coleridge shifts his predominant argument to qualities of imagery and then, more generally, to diction in the comprehensive sense. He can shift emphasis gracefully because animated prosody and adeptly figurative expression are the coinherent manifestations of imaginatively sustained passion. From the proper perspective he seems not to shift at all, but to make the implicit explicit.\n\nWordsworth's use of Gray, and Coleridge's use of Wordsworth's use, can be read as subsuming many of the complex delicate shifts in literary sensibility in the late eighteenth century. Ransom has argued that Gray himself in this sonnet criticizes the inadequacies of the inherited 'poetic diction'. Coleridge uses the lines to present the guiding principles of his own idea of diction. First, the essentially poetic diction may have qualities in common with prose, but it will also possess qualities unique to itself and not suitable for prose (II, 57\u20138; see also II, 50). This argument allows the speaker to accede to Wordsworth's account of poetry's kinship with prose without 'agreeing' that they are identical twins.\n\nSecondly, the speaker asserts 'GOOD SENSE' \u2013 not equality with prose \u2013 as the only proper measure of poetic imagery. Gray's use of 'Phoebus' differs from Spenser's because Gray's line 'conveys incongruous images, [and] because it confounds the cause and the effect, the real _thing_ with the personified _representative_ of the thing' (II, 58). As the speaker has already argued at length, this pseudo-poetic modern imagery reflects both blunt sensibility and enfeebled imagination. One need not equate poetry and prose to demonstrate its fraudulence. As the contrasting lines from Spenser demonstrate, quality depends not on the image _per se_ , but on its place and function in the whole. Neither rustics' diction nor pseudo-classical diction can supply the lack of imagination.\n\nBut 'GOOD SENSE' alone is not a sufficient measure. Daniel's lines are full of good sense. Daniel's diction fails not because it is incoherent, but because it lacks the 'more frequent employment of picturesque and vivifying language' that ought to distinguish poetry from prose (II, 50). One can obliterate Daniel's metre by transcribing his verse without its proper lineation. Given Coleridge's idea of the essential interdependence of diction and metre, the failure of one testifies to the other's failure. Daniel's commonplace images \u2013 disorder as disease, society as a fabric \u2013 do not catalyze the reader's imagination into activity. There is here no 'union of deep feeling with profound thought', nor do the lines awaken any 'freshness of sensation' or 'new feeling' concerning English history (I, 59\u201360). We remain firmly planted on the Cis-Alpine side of consciousness, in the day-to-day world of inanimate objects. Yet notice that the speaker does not develop this indictment as fully as I have developed it. For Coleridge, enough has been said when he demonstrates (or invites the reader to discover) the limpness of Daniel's prosody. He relies on the reader's concurrent judgment, as he has done before when invoking the original realism. In his criticism, no less than in his metaphysics, Coleridge requires an extraordinarily active, thoughtful reader.\n\nHaving finished with Gray, Coleridge draws another statement from the Preface so as to argue that good sense and aesthetic potence apply to metre as fully as they apply to imagery. Wordsworth errs, the speaker contends, in claiming that 'the distinction of rhyme and metre is voluntary and uniform': prosody varies in quality just as imagery does. In neither case is the reader 'at the mercy of the poet', because the reader has \u2013 or ought to have \u2013 relevant criteria for judgment.\n\nAnd this point unfolds into chapter XVIII's concluding issue: literary value-judgments. The end of criticism, the speaker argues, is to establish the principles of writing, not the principles of judgment. And the first principle of writing is that the poet must be guided by a meditative and fully self-conscious imagination:\n\nBut if it be asked, by what principles the poet is to regulate his own style... I reply; by principles, the ignorance or neglect of which would convict him of being no _poet_ , but a silly or presumptuous usurper of the name! By the principles of grammar, logic, psychology!... by such a knowledge of the facts, material and spiritual, that most appertain to his art, as, if it have been governed and applied by _good sense_ , and rendered instinctive by habit, becomes the representative and reward of our past conscious reasonings, insights, and conclusions, and acquires the name of Taste[.]... by the power of imagination proceeding upon the _all in each_ of human nature[.] By _meditation_ , rather than _observation_ [.] And by the latter in consequence only of the former[.]... Could a rule be given from _without_ , poetry would cease to be poetry, and sink into a mechanical art. It would be [a fashioning] not [a creation]. The _rules_ of the IMAGINATION are themselves the very powers of growth and production. (II, 63\u20135; phrases in brackets translated from the Greek)\n\nThe speaker immediately insists that such criticism none the less supplies an adequate basis for value-judgments. Such a critic has no difficulty distinguishing Donne's apostrophes from Cowley's Pindaric Odes, or 'poetic fervor self-impassioned' from 'the startling _hysteric_ of weakness over-exerting itself' (II, 65\u20137).\n\nAdequate judgments flow from distinguishing the origins of such verse in the powers and quality of the poet's mind \u2013 provided, of course, that one has a fully developed theory of such origins, and their relations to aesthetic power and to literary form. (A theory, of course, that Wordsworth had no intention of elaborating in his Preface.) Pseudo-poesy derives neither from fancy nor from imagination, but from the mere wit (or degraded fancy). Its juxtapositions of incompatible things are not even unified by a coherent associational flow, much less by imagination's unifying vision. In asserting his grounds for value-judgment, Coleridge alludes again to the coherent development of the speaker's idea of literature, because the speaker in his youth had judged the merits of a poem by faculties to which it appealed (I, 14). Wordsworth's poems had appealed quite powerfully to the speaker's imagination, yet Wordsworth's theory (as interpreted here) neatly reverses almost every detail of an imaginative theory of composition. 'There is not', the speaker none the less affirms, '... a man now living, who has, from his own inward experience, a clearer intuition, than Mr. Wordsworth himself... [of] the true sources of _genial_ discrimination' (II, 64).\n\n# **8 Wordsworth and the Imaginative Particular**\n\n>... a man's principles, on which he grounds his Hope and his Faith, are the life of his life. We live by Faith, says the philosophic Apostle; and faith without principles is but a flattering phrase for wilful positiveness, or fanatical bodily sensation. Well, and of good right therefore, do we maintain with more zeal, than we should defend body or estate, a deep and inward conviction, which is as the moon to us; and like the moon with all its massy shadows and deceptive gleams, it yet lights us on our way, poor travellers as we are, and benighted pilgrims.\n> \n> _The Friend_ , I, 97\n\nHaving argued against Wordsworth's views on rustic language and poetic diction, the speaker claims that Wordsworth does not in fact believe the theory that the speaker has been systematically demolishing for forty pages. Fortunately so: by definition the self-conscious genius knows what he is about. Despite his own 'inward experience', Wordsworth 'suffered himself to express, in terms at once too large and too exclusive, his predilection for a style the most remote possible from the false and showy splendor which he wished to explode' (II, 64, 70). Chapter XIX defines the neutral style Wordsworth 'meant' to defend, and illustrates it with excerpts from Chaucer and Herbert. Yet even this is not what Wordsworth _really_ meant, because the style of his own poems is both specifically poetic and highly individual. Chapter XX illustrates this imaginative individuality. Chapter XXI analyzes the critical methods of those who have condemned Wordsworth; they have misunderstood Wordsworth's individuality, and mismanaged their own. Chapter XXII provides what such critics do not: a 'fair and philosophical' examination of Wordsworth's poems on their own merits.\n\nOnce again the analysis of Wordsworth also serves as an exogenous skeleton for Coleridge's arguments about other things. Chapters XX and XXI assert the need for particularity in poetry and in criticism. Chapter XXI explains the quality of particular which is essential to philosophic criticism. Chapter XXII does the same for poetry: Wordsworth's defects illustrate the proper role of fancy in providing appropriate particulars; his beauties define the synthesis of universal and particular that imagination and fancy together achieve. Through self-conscious imagination, the poet knows the interpenetration of particular and universal. The symbolic character of language expresses this interpenetration; the associative power of fancy renders the expression effective. It follows that one can work backward from objective features of texts to their origins in the relative activity of fancy and imagination. Chapter XXII thus complements chapters VII and XII, demonstrating the concrete manifestations of powers defined abstractly. The concluding chapter not only laments the disproportion between public abuse and actual deserving that has been the fate of both men; it also draws us back to the foundation of 'original realism': the unity of being and knowing in imaginative self-consciousness.\n\nThroughout these chapters Coleridge explains how imagination governs fancy. This is a major question, as Lowes demonstrates in _The Road to Xanadu_. Lowes's understatement has lost none of its force in the half-century and more since he wrote: 'imagination must have materials on which to work'. And, as both his book and Baker's _The Sacred River_ fully demonstrate, association supplies imagination with the material it needs. Yet not all materials are suitable: the thoroughness of an energetic fancy virtually ensures that much of what wells up will be inferior, or at least unworkable. The sources Lowes cites are remarkable more for their dross than for their gold.\n\nFancy's role may be compared to an architect's shipments of bricks and beams. Everything depends upon what he does with his materials, but without them he can do nothing at all. He cannot embody his prior vision. The architect's creative process stretches out over time what probably happens almost instantaneously for a poet. Fancy is a mode of memory emancipated from time and space; its associative power collects from the artist's past those words and images and rhythms generally suitable to his present purpose. Yet these remain disparate heaps of things until imagination begins to work with and within what it has 'sent' fancy to gather. In imagination's final product, the diverse materials are fragments no longer, but parts of a whole which places each within a network of relations. These relations are so many and so intimate that each part is rendered integral both to the other parts and to the whole as such. Or, to put this matter another way, fancy's function is merely instrumental, but it is none the less a crucial instrument.\n\nColeridge's analysis of Wordsworth's faults proceeds apace with his explanation of the principles by which one selects from the plethora fancy provides. In the most general of terms, Coleridge praises Wordsworth's vivid particularity and his highly individual voice, but criticizes the welter of meaningless detail and foggy moralizing that intrudes when Wordsworth loses control over his vision and his voice. These judgments strike me as apt, although in my judgment Coleridge exaggerates Wordsworth's faults to facilitate his own account of fancy. His acknowledging how seldom Wordsworth errs does not adequately counter-balance the detail to which these faults are examined, nor the tones in which they are condemned. Coleridge's tone and manner, especially concerning Wordsworth's apparently pantheist empiricism, perhaps make more sense if one keeps the 1805 _Prelude_ in mind, and the still-vital plans for the great philosophic poem. These chapters are probably relevant to much more than the poems they particularly examine. Wordsworth's faults are explicated first because fancy's role is clearest when most inappropriate. When genially empowered judgment properly manages fancy, its contribution is dissolved, diffused, transmogrified. '\"As we our food into our nature change\"' (II, 12). Celebrating Wordsworth's beauties last allows Coleridge to end his critical essay both with resounding praise for the philosophic poet, and with his last, most resonant account of imagination's power.\n\nColeridge's account of Wordsworth's genial powers is matched by renewed emphasis on the speaker's own philosophic genius. Chapter XIX's references to German literature and to the history of English pronunciation enforce again the speaker's scholarship; the passage from Chaucer, like the earlier one from Spenser (II, 59), pinpoints the issue in question most precisely. By its brevity and simplicity, the chapter qualifies as what Coleridge elsewhere calls a 'landing-place': a pause in a sustained and difficult argument, often an illustration of a practical or amusing aspect of the matter at hand. Herbert's poems illustrate both the neutral style, and the tendency for poets of his day to convey 'in the most fantastic language... the most trivial thoughts' (II, 73) or to sacrifice 'the passion and passionate flow of poetry, to the subtleties of intellect, and to the starts of wit' (I, 15). The chapter offers two short 'burlesque' passages from Drayton and from Herbert, and then three reasonably characteristic seventeenth-century religious poems. The first two of these poems represent disorder of intellect; the last two, moral disorder; the central one, the relation between physical and moral loss. Yet the poems do more than illustrate the range and power of the neutral style. On the one hand, it is clear that the three religious poems display the translucency of the spiritual within the natural. 'The Bosom Sin' reappears in _Aids to Reflection_ as an illustrative commentary on the reluctance of many to know themselves \u2013 a reluctance evident in anonymous critics ( _AR_ , 75 n-76). But, on the other hand, this whole set of poems seems inescapably comic. The 'ludicrous tone of feeling' remains. What is going on here?\n\nThe speaker playfully and indirectly suggests an analogy between his own 'obscurity' and that of metaphysical poets. Drayton's reader wonders why he must 'wrest invention'; Coleridge has abundantly explained the arresting new vision that the genius supplies. The poet's or philosopher's 'lunacy' is literal only for the unperceptive. Both 'unravel' ordinary perceptions in order to reweave, restoring our consciousness of the transcendental in part by heightening our sensitivity to words. For both, clarity and unity depend upon the reader's ability to discern the relation between verbal play and substantial idea. The speaker laughs at his reputation, and recognizes its necessity: the neutral style includes both Herbert's poems and his own prose. The earlier bitterness concerning his reputation is softened here, and the speaker as a distinct personality appears more clearly at this point than he has for several chapters. Yet Coleridge's failure to close chapter XIX leaves us up in the air. Chapter XX \u2013 ' _The former subject continued_ ' \u2013 picks up the main argument without reference to these poems. I suggest that Coleridge's fancy was caught by the analogy I have sketched, but that he could not see how to subordinate it to his account of Wordsworth's style. Rather than revise, he picks up where he left off, with a somewhat apologetic chapter headnote.\n\nChapter XX explains that the neutral style is not Wordsworth's, nor is the rustic style (II, 77, 83). It is, the speaker wryly notes, 'a singular and noticeable fact' that Wordsworth's theory advocates a diction quite different from his own (II, 77). Wordsworth's imaginative individuality is stylistically evident in 'modes of connections... [and] breaks and transitions' as well as in 'grammatical connections' \u2013 in those means whereby an author depicts not just things, but relations (II, 83\u20134). In these qualities his style is as remote as possible from actual rustics' styles, and near instead to Milton and Shakespeare. At his best, which the speaker amply illustrates, Wordsworth brings physical objects 'before the mind, as the actions of a living and acting power' (II, 84). He awakens in others a 'meditative mood' (II, 85). His poetry is both aesthetically powerful and capable of showing that the being of all things, both windswept trees and human minds, is ultimately an act. This account of Wordsworth's successful fusion of individual expression and universal truth stands between Coleridge's balanced accounts of the excessive concreteness and philosophical errors marring both Wordsworth's theory and some of his poems. It prepares us for chapter XXII's more detailed account of how his very best poetry combines vivid particularity with stunning imaginative insight.\n\nAnonymous criticism has failed to acknowledge the character of Wordsworth's individuality, condemning him for trivial characters and ludicrous or exaggerated responses, because it cannot (or will not) properly manage its own particulars. Chapter XXI analyzes the misplaced concreteness that vitiates anonymous criticism. 'Fair and philosophic' criticism requires a balance and blending of universal principles and particulars from the text to be judged. Arguments conducted in this way result in conclusions that the reader accepts 'in the light of judgement and in the independence of free-agency' (II, 85). They appeal to the activity of will, not the passivity of sensation; they engage the judgment, not the emotions. Such philosophical debate underlies popular government, just as demagoguery underlies tyranny (I, 121\u201332). Thus, the speaker would respect as nobility any group of critics following 'fair and philosophical' procedures: they are natural leaders (see I, 124\u20135, 155\u20136). Unlike the violent hurricanes of fanaticism and anonymous criticism, philosophic criticism is a windmill grinding grain: 'All the two and thirty winds alike are its friends. Of the whole wide atmosphere it does not desire a single fingerbreadth more than what is necessary for its sails to turn round in' (II, 88).\n\nThe announced plan for the _Edinburgh Review_ promised such philosophic criticism, but the magazine has not remained faithful to its plan. The speaker condemns not the 'asperity of the damnatory style' (which he does not hesitate to use himself), but the inappropriate particularity (II, 86). The particulars on which anonymous critics dwell reveal that their principles derive from politics and personality, not 'the essence of human nature' (II, 58; cf. I, 44). When they do not draw particulars from irrelevant details of the poet's private life, these critics offer either no particulars at all, or particulars that fail to illustrate the fault they would condemn. The speaker cites one such condemned passage as evidence that behind such criticism one finds a diseased moral feeling (II, 92\u20134): what the critic condemned other readers have found consonant with 'an intuitive certainty in their own inward experience' (II, 91). Minds crippled by illogic and a degraded fancy cannot respond properly to poetry. In a quick sketch of what will preoccupy chapter XXII the speaker explains that a poem's 'sense' must be 'consonant with all the best convictions of my understanding' and its 'imagery and diction [must collect] round these convictions my noblest as well as my most delightful feelings' (II, 91). Only imagination can so completely fuse both the understanding's knowledge of the true and the false with all a man's passions, and in doing so imagination relies on the drawing power of an enlightened fancy.\n\nLike Wordsworth's 'Essay Supplementary to the Preface' of 1815, this chapter's denunciation in effect gives up any hope of winning the approval of these powerful critics and their readers. It is the high point of the condemnation to which Coleridge had been urged by friends. _Biographia Literaria_ naturally provoked vitriolic reviews. However unfortunate for the subsequent reputation of the book, this reaction could not have been a surprise. In some ways, Coleridge traps the reviewers quite handily: when they denounce him for diseased egotism, rather than engage the complex philosophic problems he engages, they cast themselves as fanatics.\n\nBefore considering chapter XXII, let us look back a moment over the preceding three chapters, and then forward to chapter XXIV. Chapters XIX, XX and XXI are swifter afoot, and far less dense, than any passage of comparable length since chapter X. And, like chapter X, they serve as a prelude to a long, slow, technical argument. Just as chapter X contrasts the speaker's genial quest for principles with the political and philosophic fanaticism of his day, so these chapters contrast Wordsworth's genial reform of poetic diction with the literary fanaticism of his day. They do so in part by locating his style within the English tradition, and in part by evaluating the kinds of reviews his work has had. The speaker assimilates the apparent plainness of Wordsworth's style \u2013 its lack of high rhetorical ornament \u2013 to the 'neutrality' of poets from Chaucer to Herbert. The assimilation suggests that Wordsworth's plainness is ancient and pure, not primitivist or 'democratic' or empiricist. Although the speaker hastens to add that this poetry is not Wordsworth's best, nor his most characteristic, the chapter none the less suggests that Coleridge recognized and understood Wordsworth's aesthetic purposes rather more fully than chapters XVII and XVIII alone might suggest.\n\nAnd it is significant that this recognition comes so closely interwoven with the familiar indictments of anonymous critics. Because their imaginations are feeble, their sensibility is blunt. Their relation to reality \u2013 textual or physical \u2013 is vague and foggy. These are the very last readers from whom one ought to expect the acuity, the sensitivity or the subtlety that Wordsworth's plain and 'objective' descriptions can demand. But in _Biographia Literaria_ the phrase 'anonymous criticism' stands more for the taste and sensibility of the age than it does for the works of men like Hazlitt and Jeffrey. From this perspective, then, Coleridge censures Wordsworth not only for writing bad poetry, but also for failing to adapt his style to his actual readers. The complaint applies to Coleridge's own work, I have argued; and this elaborate, somewhat indirect reflexivity often characterized Coleridge's advice to his friends. In chapter XXII, when Coleridge contends that Wordsworth's lack of rhetorical finesse does result in bad poetry, he seeks more to explain fancy's role in aesthetically effective poetry than to account for Wordsworth's contemporary status.\n\nChapter XXI's account of anonymous criticism also connects chapters II and X with chapter XXIV, so as to integrate the 'anonymous criticism' theme with the seminal philosophic issue of causality. As we saw, in chapters V to IX the speaker complains that materialist associationism cannot account for causality, and thereby denies both personal agency and moral responsibility. He builds his alternative account of cognition upon the testimony of conscience that we are indeed responsible for our acts and our motives: the properly formed conscience requires imagination's self-consciousness, or the distinct knowledge of the acts and forms of one's own will. And, as we have seen in chapters I to IV and XII, imagination also provides distinct knowledge of the particular physical world: the genius is blessed with exquisite sensibility. The philosophic critic, no less than the poet, needs imagination, because argument no less than poetry requires not only the distinct knowledge of both causality and particulars, but also a delicate, astute apprehension of how the two are related. Anonymous critics cannot support their argument with particulars because their dislike is caused by politics not by the poems, and because their response to particulars is warped by anger and envy. The quality of their criticism reveals not just aesthetic failure, or bad taste, but a deeply grounded moral failure as well. As the speaker later explains, they write and act in bad conscience (II, 129\u201330).\n\nThe _Biographia's_ enormously complex arguments about causality and particularity lie submerged beneath the lucidity of chapter XXII. As I have suggested, from one perspective Wordsworth's misplaced causality and his excessive particularity suggest the undue influence of Locke and Hartley. But there are other perspectives; the issue is not as simple as this. Coleridge's original realism guarantees that the animated nature Wordsworth describes is 'really there'. Is the poet, then, required \u2013 as the philosopher surely is \u2013 to maintain, distinctly and explicitly, and at all times, that the animation is 'reflected' not 'bestowed'? Must good poetry first of all be good epistemology? No. Obviously not: 'a poem is that species of composition, which is opposed to works of science, by proposing for its _immediate_ object pleasure, not truth' (II, 10). Even though the ultimate object of poetry is truth, and even though the greatest works of art will be found to achieve that ultimate end, the critic can demand neither doctrinal nor philosophic orthodoxy as a measure of artistic success. All he can rightly demand is good sense and fidelity to nature, and the proper interdependence of parts. These alone directly affect the reader's aesthetic, imaginative response.\n\nBut these are sufficient measures to discredit what Coleridge calls Wordsworth's 'Vague, misty... Confusion of God with the World', because his excessive particularity and empiricism reflect a school philosophy that _does_ contradict the common sense of every man (I, 77, 82\u20133, 178\u20139). But these measures require some subtlety: too literally applied, they would devastate Wordsworth's attempts to explore the psyche, attempts surely beyond the ken of the actual common sense of most of his contemporaries. All of which is perhaps only to say that no one's critical principles \u2013 and especially not those of one like Coleridge \u2013 can be applied without regard for judgment and taste. Coleridge's application, although profoundly rhetorical, also attends closely to the interior relations of the work itself, because these relations most firmly govern the reader's response. His balancing subjective response with objective textual features presupposes his whole idea of language. Poems can most fully express _and most fully communicate_ what imagination reveals because words \u2013 regarded broadly, as language itself \u2013 express the consciousness common to their users. But words also express the particular consciousness of their individual speaker. The consciousness common to the group, and the special imaginative consciousness of the poet, are intelligibly related through the poem by means of the real world to which words also refer. In seeing not just _what_ but also _how_ the poet sees, as well as his impassioned response, we gain access to the moral unity of what it is to be a human being, and what it is to be a conscious thinker. The greatest poems render concretely accessible Coleridge's whole transcendental analysis of consciousness.\n\nAnd that is why Coleridge so sharply condemns Wordsworth's pantheism, and his faith in the aesthetic and moral power of a keenly described scene or situation. These must be flaws, _demonstrable_ flaws in his art, or what is to be the clear, concrete enactment of Coleridge's orthodox Christian transcendentalism turns instead into the ghost of Spinoza. Coleridge wants Schelling's view of art, but St John's idea of Man, God and Logos. Wordsworth's best poetry does enact this synthesis, the speaker has been saying all along; but Wordsworth's theory and at least some of his poems show all too clearly the weak side, the dark side of Coleridge's own vision. Thus it is that chapter XXII's account of the defects and the beauties of Wordsworth's verse recapitulates many of the distinctions between empiricist associationism and Coleridge's original realism. In the _Biographia's_ first volume, this distinction is focused subjectively: the two philosophies are evaluated as rival accounts of mental experience and cognition. The focus here is objective: literally faithful observation _versus_ the imaginative association of properly managed fancy as rival origins of vividly particular, aesthetically potent verse. Wordsworth's most authentic, most characteristic poems, like the speaker's most authentic, most characteristic philosophy, accommodate fully the rival claims of imagination's transforming power and the green world's serene stability.\n\nThe duality of Coleridge's design attains a culminating richness in chapter XXII, where the critique of Wordsworth's poems proceeds simultaneously with a detailed explanation of the correlative operation of fancy and imagination. Wordsworth's defects and excellences are closely related to one another (II, 115), as one would expect in the writings of genius (I, 43). His usual balance between thought and sensibility sometimes deviates into prolixity and bombast. His proper fidelity to nature sometimes degenerates into excessive detail. His pure and individual diction sometimes lapses into undistinguished, unimpassioned prosaicism. His usual balance of thought and image with subject-matter allows him to write truly philosophic and imaginative poems, but the loss of this proportion mires him in a confused variety of materialism and pantheism. Both his flaws and his beauties demonstrate that the fullest aesthetic pleasure requires appropriate particulars (i.e. properly managed fancy), because the poet reaches the reader's imagination only through his detailed representations of the reality known by both. Yet, to have their wonted effect, these representations must form parts of an aesthetic whole, one in which parts are interdependent. Wordsworth's defects are consistently described as comprising the organic unity of his poems, and thus their aesthetic power.\n\nThe first defect, occasional prosaicism, draws on the necessary relation between passion and imagery to explain that full aesthetic power requires _sustained_ imagery. The reader does not maintain the pleasurable excitement through his own imaginative power, but through the images:\n\nEven in real life, the difference is great and evident between words used as the _arbitrary marks_ of thought, our smooth market-coin of intercourse, with the image and superscription worn out by currency; and those which convey pictures either borrowed from _one_ outward object to enliven and particularize some _other_ ; or used allegorically to body forth the inward state of the person speaking[.]... excitement aris[es] from concentered attention[.]... in the perusal of works of literary _art_ , we _prepare_ ourselves for such language; and the business of the writer... is so to raise the lower and neutral tints... to produce the effect of a _whole_. Where this is not achieved in a poem, the metre merely reminds the reader of his claims in order to disappoint them. (II, 98)\n\nImages concenter attention by conveying relations which transcend space and time (II, 16) and obliterate the sense of self (II, 33 n) by changing the form of activity of consciousness. But for the poet to sustain imagery effectively, for the images to contribute to unity and identity of parts in the whole, he must adapt each image not simply to the relation it is to convey, but also to the other images, to the whole system of relations to which it belongs.\n\nBut not any images, and not any concrete descriptive details, will suffice. As the account of the second defect explains, particulars should reveal universals: the historian records particulars _per se_ , but the poet offers ' _truth operative, and by effects continually alive_ ' (II, 102). The poem's visual descriptions should generate simultaneous wholes, not geometrical constructions nor topographical surveys (II, 102\u20133; cf. II, 16\u201318). The imaginative whole is intuited, not assembled from parts; it consists in relations conveyed by images. The most effective image, consequently, is a symbol that 'partakes of the Reality which it renders intelligible' ( _LS_ , 30). The poem's particulars reveal a living truth only when they succeed in creating an imaginative whole.\n\nBut what interrelation of particulars generates an imaginative whole? The poet must forge unity from the reader's conventional associations with the poem's particulars. This associative activity unfolds to define an imaginative center that only the poet sees beforehand, and this is the only way in which rare imaginative vision becomes intelligible generally. For the poet to shape the reader's associations, the reader in turn must accept all the poem's parts and interrelations of parts. He must not discard or ignore some. Poet and reader thus co-operate: the reader must be willing to 'believe for his own sake', to 'permit the images presented to work by their own force, without either denial or affirmation of their real existence by the judgement' (II, 101, 107). The poet in turn must not provoke probability-judgments, or contrast poetic faith with real faith by too closely juxtaposing poetic fiction and real fact (II, 107). The poet must work from _within_ his best estimates of the reader's literary habits and his conventional associations.\n\nYet the Preface suggests Wordsworth's distrust of such expectations. And he refuses at times to appeal to the general state of association because he wants to 'attack and subdue' its pernicious associations with economic and social status (II, 104). The speaker responds that truth and aesthetic pleasure may differ only because of the fallen state of men, yet this is the reality with which the poet must cope.\n\nNow till the blessed time shall come, when truth itself shall be pleasure, and both shall be so united, as to be distinguishable in words only, not in feeling, it will remain the poet's office to proceed upon that state of association, which actually exists as _general_ ; instead of attempting first to _make_ it what it ought to be, and then to let the pleasure follow.... For the communication of pleasure is the introductory means by which alone the poet must expect to moralize his readers. (II, 104\u20135)\n\nBy aiming directly at truth, not pleasure, Wordsworth arouses neither aesthetic response nor moral conviction. Such works are neither good poems nor good sermons, because the particulars embody neither universals nor principles (II, 104\u20135). The speaker echoes his earlier appeal to Aristotle, and calls down the authority of Horace: the poetic particular must not perplex or contradict the reader's feeling if the poem is to achieve the ideal unity and universality proper for art. Decorum remains a useful principle because the poet cannot hope to control the reader's associations. He can only try to elicit those associations most useful for his own ends.\n\nDecorum also helps supply the quality of unity essential for aesthetic imaginative activity in the reader, and its role reveals more fully what an imaginative fancy contributes to aesthetic power. For Coleridge, the universal and permanent exist within the particular and transitory if one has grasped the relation between the being of the particular and the being of the universal. One must, then, scrutinize a single tulip, or the fleeting impression of a beggar or a bed of daffodils, to clarify not the sensations of things, but the consciousness of the selfs perceiving. But, for an image to lead the reader to an imaginative apprehension of the underlying relations (whether in reality itself, or in the poem), the image must seem an appropriate object for the poet's meditation. Images will not 'work by their own force' on a reader who judges the poet's meditative energy misspent. An imaginative fancy seeks images that will both provide an adequate vehicle for the poet's meditative passion, and appeal to the ordinary reader. Without the poet's imagination, there is no unity; without the reader's correlative response, the unity is not perceived.\n\nConcern for the reader's expectations, feelings and associations is equally evident in the speaker's account of the third defect: Wordsworth's 'undue predilection for the _dramatic_ form' (II, 109; cf. II, 36, 53, 55). Such poems are either good plays, and thus disconcerting for the reader of poems; or they are bad plays, and thus not convincing. Coleridge's enforcing generic distinctions, like his enforcing decorum, provides grounds in post-Kantean psychology for ancient and valuable critical principles. Wordsworth's errors matter not because he fails to imitate properly a given form, which in turn imitates a given aspect of reality, but because he confuses his readers. Conventional associations with dramatic dialogue generate stylistic expectations that Wordsworth disappoints.\n\nIn citing the last two defects, the speaker explains that effective images and particulars \u2013 an effective style \u2013 must be suitable not only for the audience, but also for the poem's essential balance between thought and feeling (II, 109; cf. II, 19, 49\u201351). When the feelings are disproportionate to the objects described, the thought cannot progress. The relations among parts are befuddled. When thoughts and images are disproportionate to the originating situation, the poet's impassioned response seems ridiculous. Several illustrations reveal that this error arises when Wordsworth fails to distinguish between associations appropriate to his ideas, and those accidentally linked with it in his mind from the situation in which the idea originated (II, 109\u201310). These inappropriate associations are worse than merely ineffective associations, because they are illogical uses of words:\n\nIf the words are taken in the common sense, they convey an absurdity; and if, in contempt of dictionaries and custom, they are so interpreted as to avoid the absurdity, the meaning dwindles into some bald truism. Thus you must at once understand the words _contrary_ to their common import, in order to arrive at any _sense_ ; and _according_ to their common import, if you are to receive from them any feeling of _sublimity_ or _admiration_. (II, 114)\n\nWordsworth's lapses into this pseudo-sublime lead him into an incoherent pantheism that the speaker criticizes most sharply.\n\nTo set this famous critique of the 'Intimations' ode in its full context, however, we must pause for a summary that will transform the speaker's proscriptions into prescriptions. Properly literary language, he has said, conveys pictures either to enliven and particularize objects or to embody the inward state of the speaker. These properly literary descriptions and characterizations must convey '\" _truth operative, and by effects continually alive_ \"' through the pleasure they arouse (II, 102). They must, therefore, remain generally conventional or representative or decorous, lest the reader be confused or distracted, and thus not pleased, and thus not instructed. Yet they must also remain consistent and congruous with their dramatic speaker, whose emotional and intellectual responses to the objects and characters he encounters must therefore be both authentic and believable. In sum, a genially directed fancy maintains properly literary (i.e. aesthetically potent) relations between the poetic voice and the reader by gathering vivid particulars whose associative range covers the intersection between fully imaginative sensibility and the common sensibility. Only by manipulating the ordinary reader's ordinary responses can the poet transform the reader's consciousness into an imaginative echo of his own. That is why Coleridge so consistently describes critical taste as itself an imaginative power: the best reader, the truly philosophic critic, will most fully share the poet's imaginative sensibility. When Wordsworth misgoverns his fancy, when he presumes that his readers will \u2013 or ought to \u2013 associate exactly as he associates _even when his associations are random or arbitrary_ , then he becomes dull, prosaic, confusing and fragmentary.\n\nSo would any poet. Little to this point in chapter XXII specifically characterizes Wordsworth himself, rather than Wordsworth the _Biographia's_ ideal poet. Little, that is, except the critique of 'Intimations', which defines the error sometimes visible in Wordsworth's own associations with objects. When Wordsworth attributes to things what he ought to attribute to imaginative relations among perceiver and things, then he recapitulates the error of pious Hartley: he attributes moral animation to the unconscious object _per se_. He derives from objects themselves what he ought to derive from self-conscious activity of mind. In the pantheist tendencies of Wordsworth's associations with objects, he fails to meet not only art's ultimate end, but also its immediate purpose, because he misuses words and thereby disorients his reader.\n\nThe speaker's account of this false tendency begins with 'I wandered lonely' and 'Gipsies', where Wordsworth makes no more serious error than exaggeration. But the third instance, 'Intimations', demonstrates the moral danger and the abuse of language inherent in Wordsworth's associations with the material world.\n\nIn what sense can the magnificent attributes... be appropriated to a _child_ , which would not make them equally suitable to a _bee_ , or a _dog_ , or a _field of corn_ : or even to a ship, or to the wind and waves that propel it? The omnipresent Spirit works equally in them, as in the child; and the child is equally unconscious of it as they. (II, 113)\n\nColeridge himself verges into polemical exaggeration here, and Wordsworth has not lacked defenders. Coleridge objects to Wordsworth's attributing such a rich philosophic wisdom to a yet-unconscious child. The unconscious child cannot discover moral values by meditating with full philosophic rigor on the activity of his mind. Whatever he may know for himself of those 'truths...\/Which we are toiling all our lives to find', he can only know through observation. If such a child is the 'best philosopher', then the best philosophy must be pantheism. In short, Wordsworth's vision of the child reveals the dangerous moral and philosophic tendencies of his own na\u00efve faith in beautiful landscapes and unsophisticated characters.\n\nWordsworth seldom makes this mistake, the speaker acknowledges; but defends his own tone by asserting that Wordsworth sets a dangerous example for others. That seems to me a lame excuse, another attempt to gloss over the places where the real Wordsworth's ideas and values differ from those predicated of the utterly self-conscious, fully imaginative ideal poet. The account of Wordsworth's defects as a poet is replete with qualifications: his style lapses in less than one hundred lines; his pseudo-sublimity is 'a fault of which none but a man of genius is capable' (II, 109). He mismanages fancy only by subordinating it directly instead of mediately to his moral sense. Such flaws, although significant at times, dwindle even further when contrasted to his imaginative achievement. Wordsworth's beauties reveal all that a truly philosophic imagination and an imaginative fancy together can achieve. The account of Wordsworth's virtues as a poet provides Coleridge's most complete and by far his most accessible definition of imagination's powers.\n\nPre-eminent among these powers, of course, is dominion over language. Wordsworth's 'perfect appropriateness of the words to the meaning' guarantees more than truth about things (see II, 22), because the speaker 'include[s] in the _meaning_ of a word not only its correspondent object, but likewise all the associations which it recalls. For language is framed to convey not only the object alone, but likewise the character, mood and intentions of the person who is representing it' (II, 115\u201316). An imaginatively directed fancy makes possible a portrait of the active mind itself, because it is through imagination's modulating of connotations that the poem reveals the knowing of knowing. Such precision is 'good for the understanding', because self-consciousness provides our most exact knowledge of the world around us; it is also an 'antidote' for an age of 'corrupt eloquence' because a precise use of words fosters the development of self-consciousness in the reader. The speaker's appeal to 'the beneficial after-effects of verbal precision in the preclusion of fanaticism' (II, 116\u201317) echoes his account of Christ's Hospital, and the very different 'improved pedagogy' that produces anonymous critics (I, 4\u20138). This idea of language so exactly reflects his original realism that the speaker pauses here to promise a full-scale treatise on the topic. One begins to recognize that all of his 'incomplete' or 'promised' works are one work, a discourse on the relations among mind, world and God \u2013 with applications to a multitude of practical matters.\n\nThe explanation of Wordsworth's second beauty develops the same point further. At his best, he exactly balances intellectual and emotional responses, both of which originate in his 'meditative observation' \u2013 i.e. in his imaginative response to the world around him. Although such poems have all the clarity and good sense of Samuel Daniel at his best, his most imaginative ones so directly reveal imagination itself that they are accessible only to the philosophic reader. Despite his earlier criticism of parts of 'Intimations', the speaker lavishes praise on the ode's account of the _poet's_ consciousness. Wordsworth's meditative observations of his own mind are\n\ndrawn up from depths which few in any age are privileged to visit, into which few in any age have courage or inclination to descend.... A poem is not necessarily obscure, because it does not aim to be popular.... the ['Intimations'] ode was intended for such readers only as had been accustomed to watch the flux and reflux of their inmost nature, to venture at times into the twilight realms of consciousness, and to feel a deep interest in modes of inmost being, to which they know that the attributes of time and space are inapplicable and alien, but which yet can not be conveyed save in symbols of time and space. (II, 120; cf. II, 15)\n\nIn such poems, Wordsworth so coherently relates the being of the particular with the being of the universal that his figurative, impassioned style forges symbols of imagination's activity (cf. _AR_ , 110, 236). It does not just vividly describe objects he has known, and his reactions to them.\n\nAnonymous critics' complaints about the 'Platonism' of such poems merely display their own inadequacies. The lines from Pindar that the speaker cites in response echo both the lines from Plotinus cited earlier in reference to his own discourse (I, 80), and chapter II's account of the genesis of an anonymous critic (I, 27\u20139):\n\n'I have many a swift arrow in the quiver beneath my arm to sing for those with understanding. But the masses need interpreters. The true poet is he who knows much by the light of nature, but those who have only learnt verse as a craft and are violent and immoderate in their speech waste their breath in screeching like crows against the divine bird of Zeus.'(II, 121)\n\nColeridge brings the whole force of his philosophic inquiry to bear here not only to illuminate Wordsworth's accomplishment, but also to transvalue the reviews of _Poems in Two Volumes_. The tones and judgments of such reviews are to become direct evidence for Wordsworth's genius and the incompetence of his magazine critics.\n\nThe third beauty, the 'sinewy strength and originality of single lines and paragraphs', was illustrated at length in chapter XX (II, 121). Like Shakespeare and Milton, Wordsworth achieves art's greatest universality in a highly individual way. His precision and objective truth arise from within his own deeply imaginative personality, and remain true to their origin. That fidelity guarantees universality because it proceeds from the ' _all in each_ of human nature' (II, 64): the common ground of human being in the absolute, infinite 'I Am'. The quality of his poetic diction, and his 'real poetic character' come at last to the same thing: imagination's power in and through language.\n\nThe account of the fourth and fifth beauties extends the domain of Wordsworth's accuracy. He is precise not only in his use of words and in his portrait of imaginative activity, but also in his descriptions of the natural world. These reveal 'a long and genial intimacy with the very spirit which gives the physiognomic expression to all the works of nature' (II, 121). As the speaker recognized even in Wordsworth's early poems, his works rescue truths otherwise neglected on the 'dusty high road of custom' (II, 121; cf. I, 59\u201360). His poems also reveal the richness of his sympathetic knowledge of human nature in general, 'the sympathy indeed of a contemplator, rather than a fellow-sufferer or co-mate, (spectator, haud particeps) but of a contemplator, from whose view no difference of rank conceals the sameness of the nature' (II, 122\u20133). Imagination and imaginative observation \u2013 not observation alone, nor mere obedience to 'rules' for poetry \u2013 provide both the pleasure and the truth that the very best art attains.\n\nWhen the speaker says at last that 'in imaginative power, [Wordsworth] stands nearest of all modern writers to Shakespeare and Milton', he repeats a claim and a conclusion that have been variously evident all along. Wordsworth's power to '\"add the gleam,\/The light that never was\"' confirms his mastery of 'the cardinal points of poetry': exciting the reader's sympathy with worlds beyond his usual ken (II, 124\u20135). Although his fancy is 'not always graceful, and sometimes _recondite_ ', sometimes subordinated to powers other than imagination, at least it never operates randomly. There is nothing in Wordsworth of _mere_ wit. The landscape analogy for Wordsworth's genius makes the same point more vividly: his mind is no flowery sod over a hollow, nor an egg-shell, but a towering forest rich with granite outcroppings (II, 128\u20139; cf. I, 25, 26, 42). By standing midway between Shakespeare's absorption into the object, and Milton's absorption of all objects into himself, Wordsworth is most capable of portraying imagination's mediation directly in 'the FIRST GENUINE PHILOSOPHIC POEM' (II, 129; cf. II, 20).\n\nThis analysis of Wordsworth's poetry ends abruptly with a single-sentence paragraph reorienting us to the anonymous criticism of both men:\n\nThe preceding criticism will not, I am aware, avail to overcome the prejudices of those, who have made it a business to attack and ridicule Mr. Wordsworth's compositions. (II, 129)\n\nNo rational argument will dissuade 'a gossip, backbiter and pasquillant', because his motives are personal, not rational (II, 87). The speaker claims that these reviewers are not so insensitive to imagination as their reviews suggest: one must not confuse the critic and the man. They are not insensitive louts, but liars and opportunists whose degraded 'personal' style helps to sell copies of their magazines (II, 129\u201330). They are not, as Wordsworth says, 'too petulant to be passive to a true poet, and too feeble to grapple with him' (II, 129). They are really much worse: they encourage fanaticism in the hope of financial return (see I, 130\u20131). The speaker then turns to Wordsworth's sentimental admirers. They will not be persuaded, either. Yet their indiscriminate and mawkish admiration is even more disgusting than the critics' malice. At least the critics perceive Wordsworth's genius \u2013 in private. The speaker thus finds himself once again intermediate between two equally erroneous extremes because he bases his inquiry on principles.\n\nBecause his Bristol printer mistakenly paginated for two volumes, Coleridge padded out the second volume by inserting here three of his letters from Germany (previously published in _The Friend_ ) and a long critique of the play _Bertram_. In spirit and in content, these belong in chapter X. The lively and amusing _Letters_ complement the _Watchman_ anecdotes in displaying the speaker's delight in observation, and his self-ironic humor. The critique of _Bertram_ , like the earlier commentary on Jacobinism, asserts the dangers and the depravity of political fanaticism. But, in their present place, these interpolations mask chapter XXIV's origins in the conclusion of chapter XXII. The critics who 'have made it a business to ridicule Mr. Wordsworth's compositions' have done the same to the speaker.\n\nChapter XXII's analysis of Wordsworth's poetry reveals how fully he achieves both art's immediate end and its ultimate purpose. His poetic portraits of the mind's activity can exert a profoundly moral influence because the delights of his diction successfully carry his truths alive into the hearts of his readers. In chapter XXIV the speaker explains that his rigorous philosophic inquiries into imagination's activity have generated the same abusive reviews as Wordsworth's poems. Even 'Christabel' was 'assailed with a malignity and a spirit of personal hatred that ought to have injured only the work in which such a tirade appeared' (II, 211). _The Statesman's Manual_ was reviewed 'with a malignity so avowedly and exclusively personal, as is, I believe, unprecedented even in the present contempt of all common humanity that disgraces and endangers the liberty of the press' (II, 214). As a consequence, 'the innuendo of my \"potential infidelity\"... has been received and propagated with a degree of _credence_ ' entirely disproportionate to the intellectual merits of the review (II, 214).\n\nSuch a lack of proportion confuses and disorients, and thus sends one seeking after some ground of order and coherence. As we have seen, the speaker's philosophy is the quest for such ground; here, he explains his theory of faith by comparing the intuition of God to the intuition of causality:\n\nThe sense of Before and After becomes both intelligible and intellectual when, and _only_ when, we contemplate the succession in the relations of Cause and Effect, which, like the two poles of the magnet manifest the being and unity of the one power by relative opposites, and give, as it were, a substratum of permanence, of identity, and therefore of reality, to the shadowy flux of Time. It is Eternity revealing itself in the phenomena of Time: and the perception and acknowledgement of the proportionality and appropriateness of the Present to the Past, prove to the afflicted Soul, that it has not yet been deprived of the sight of God, that it can still recognise the effective presence of a Father, though through a darkened glass and a turbid atmosphere, though of a Father that is chastising it. And for this cause, doubtless, are we so framed in mind, and even so organized in brain and nerve, that all confusion is painful. (II, 207\u20138)\n\nCausality \u2013 and, presumably, all of the Kantean categories \u2013 is one mode of God's presence to us. Although the intelligibility of all experience rests immediately on the synthetic power of imagination, it rests ultimately on the knowledge of God, on faith and reason. The speaker refutes the charge of infidelity by asserting that only his faith in God comforts him in the face of such unmerited and unreasonable abuse.\n\nHume had argued that causality cannot be empirically demonstrated; _The Statesman's Manual_ argues that miracles are not empirical proof of God. All suprasensuous knowledge, whether of God or the Kantean categories, must be self-grounded: 'REASON AND RELIGION ARE THEIR OWN EVIDENCE' (II, 215). The three branches of inquiry \u2013 natural philosophy, transcendental philosophy, and religion \u2013 come together at this point: all certainty is grounded in self-consciousness. We should not attempt 'to master by the reflex acts of the Understanding what we can only _know_ by the act of _becoming_.... [I believe, because I understand,] appears to me the dictate equally of Philosophy and Religion' (II, 216; sentence in brackets translated from the Latin).\n\nAn analysis of causality structures the speaker's very first argument that the mind is active, and that the will is a morally free and responsible agent. This argument develops into the theory of imagination, and here Coleridge works his way back again to the fundamental moral issue. He explains the true nature of faith by repeating the chain image from the scholium to thesis II. Let us look at the scholium before going on.\n\nA chain without a staple, from which all the links derive their stability, or a series without a first, has been not inaptly allegorized, as a string of blind men, each holding the skirt of the man before him, reaching far out of sight, but all moving without the least deviation in one strait line. (I, 180)\n\nAs the following theses explain, the staple or guide of this series is the activity of will. Will relative to knowledge is faith, which supplies a certainty one can never attain through empirical methods alone:\n\n... the Scheme of Christianity... though not discoverable by human Reason, is yet in accordance with it... link follows link by necessary consequence... Religion passes out of the ken of Reason only where the eye of Reason has reached its own Horizon; and... Faith is then but its continuation; even as the Day softens away into the sweet Twilight, and Twilight, hushed and breathless, steals into the Darkness. (II, 218; cf. I, 134\u20136)\n\nThis definition of faith anchors both the autobiographical self-defense that reaches its zenith in this chapter and the philosophic inquiry that has been the speaker's lifework. His 'settlement of the long-continued controversy concerning... poetic diction... [and] the real _poetic_ character of the poet' depends upon our accepting this definition of faith as the valid but intuitive ground of all knowledge beyond immediate sense data.\n\nBy concluding _Biographia Literaria_ as he does, Coleridge asserts again the unity of being and knowing. Who Wordsworth _is_ \u2013 the genuine poet \u2013 cannot be separated from what he _knows_ about words, about nature and about humanity itself. The attacks on Wordsworth's poems are then scarcely distinguishable from attacks on the man himself, and they are rendered even less distinguishable by the critics' degraded personal style. Similarly, what the speaker knows and who he is are so intimately united that one book can tell both tales. The unity of being and knowing cannot be physically demonstrated, as one might demonstrate a steam engine; it must be intuited and therefore its ultimate validity rests on an act of faith. But Coleridge trusts that the coherence of his being and knowing, and Wordsworth's being and knowing, will persuade those who apprehend it, because such unity elegantly and truly resolves a painful confusion. All critics, finally, can do little more than appeal to the persuasive force of a reasonable order.\n\n# **9 Conclusion**\n\n> In reading Dykes Campbell's book on Coleridge... I was infinitely struck with the suggestiveness of S.T.C.'s figure \u2013 wonderful, admirable figure \u2013 for pictorial treatment. What a subject some particular cluster of its relations would make for a little story, a small vivid picture.... Would not such a drama necessarily be the question of the acceptance by someone... of the general _responsibility_ of rising to the height of accepting him for what he is, recognizing his rare, anomalous, magnificent, interesting, curious, tremendously suggestive character, vices and all, with all its imperfections on its head, and _not_ being guilty of the pedantry, the stupidity, the want of imagination, of fighting him, deploring him in the details \u2013 failing to recognize that one _must_ pay for him and that on the whole he is magnificently worth it.\n> \n> Henry James, _The Notebooks of Henry James_ , ed. F. O. Matthiessen and Kenneth B. Murdock (New York: Oxford University Press, 1947), p. 152\n\nThe _Biographia's_ dual design solved problems peculiar to this text: the logical incompleteness and apparent pantheism of the theory of imagination. The design solved a more general problem as well: it makes the reader think about fundamental philosophic issues in part by relating them to a contemporary controversy. As I explained in the first chapter, making readers think was one of Coleridge's most abiding aims. Duality characterizes Coleridge's design in part for this reason, and in part for a more mundane one: the need to publish. There would not, after all, have been much of an English audience for Coleridge's technical philosophy. But he could not apply himself to hackwork. Writing about contemporary problems, not as a hack but as a philosopher, made it possible to publish, and yet remain true to his own aims and his own values.\n\nColeridge's numerous plans for works of this sort suggest the ease with which he could forge such links between the popular and the perennial. As McFarland observes, Coleridge had 'an organic, coherent, and fully worked-out viewpoint that could be quickly focused on a given topic because all the larger problems of structure had already been solved'. A look at just one of these projected works will reveal how Coleridge's habits as a writer differ from those of most serious thinkers who engage popular or local problems.\n\nAn 1810 notebook entry plans a study of Socinianism. His purpose, Coleridge states, is to undertake\n\na full and free Examination of the Credibility of Socinian Christianity, or rather _Jesuism_ \u2013 Is the historical Evidence fairly weighed sufficient to verify the facts of the O. and N. Testament, and to ascertain their _miraculous_ nature \u2013 & 2. are these miraculous Facts fit and adequate evidences of the Dogmata of these Books, supposing them to be such and only such as are held by the Unitarians \u2013 namely, the renewal of Life after Death by a resurrection of each Man's Body, to happiness or misery according to the preponderance of his good or bad actions in this life. I would proceed in this manner.... ( _CN_ , III, 3817)\n\nThere is a fairly straightforward procedure explicit in the statement of purpose. Coleridge might have divided the work in two parts, and set about answering the two questions he asks by applying criteria already available. But Coleridge's procedure runs a full page and a half in Coburn's edition of the notebooks: it describes a full-scale inquiry into the history and the psychology of faith. Coleridge divides this inquiry into three parts: (1) a study of Priestley and Socinian divines to demonstrate ( _a_ ) that materialism and necessity are inevitable deductions from Socinianism and ( _b_ ) that Socinianism has no basis in the Gospels, and ( _c_ ) that its doctrines are neither certain nor comprehensible; (2) a history of Christianity backwards from the Council of Nice to establish criteria for miracles and to provide 'a compleat Canon of Belief, deduced from History & Psychology, in all ages & Religions & Sects of Religion, Philosophy, Medicine, Superstition, &c &c'; and (3) 'an attempt to frame certain criteria of the Authenticity of Books' so as to establish the canon of the Bible.\n\nThrough this procedure, Coleridge transforms the local topic of Socinianism into an occasion to advance a major religious and philosophic principle:\n\nAbove all, I would lose no opportunity of enforcing the prodigious difference between the auxiliary evidence required for a religion whose Truth & Necessity is proved a priori, & merely a _condition_ of its being received as a Revelation, i.e. Legislator leges suas conscientiae datas nunc solemniter per intuitum sensitivum reconfirmans, and the absolute evidence which is to support a weight solely on itself.\n\nSocinianism seems to fall from view, just as poetic diction disappears as an issue for nine chapters, while Coleridge explores the underlying issues. Unlike more prudent authors, Coleridge refuses to choose between writing a sophisticated but practical analysis of Priestley, and writing a wholly philosophical and theoretical treatise on faith. One might say that Coleridge's books are too ambitious, that they try to do too much. But this same unswerving allegiance to the larger, more difficult issues is the heart of his permanence as a thinker.\n\nThe same duality characterizes the designs of such serial works as _The Friend_ and the _Philosophical Lectures_. The first volume of _The Friend_ moves inexorably to the distinction between reason and understanding in the final two essays, yet progressive unity is sustained by reference to the author's responsibility in publishing such a periodical. An author's primary duty, of course, is to communicate truth: the two strands of argument can be interwoven because one neither knows the truth, nor communicates it properly without distinguishing correctly between reason and understanding.\n\nThe second volume continues and develops the reflexivity evident in the first, until the philosophic inquiry into reason and understanding and the discourse on writing intersect in the famous 'Essays on Method' comprising most of the third volume. These derive principles of both inquiry and discourse from the nature of reason and understanding. Coleridge integrates the local political issues of volume two at the beginning of 'Section the second' in volume three. There he renders explicit the moral concerns that have been clear all along, and relates morals, discourse and politics by discussing the Sophists. Throughout all three volumes, the Friend stands between mirrors: he explains how one ought to write and to think about problems in part by writing about his thinking about his own writing.\n\nColeridge's dual design works well in serial essays: we tolerate a higher level of discontinuity, so he can move from local problem to philosophic issue and back again without disorienting us too badly. General integrity and progressive unity are sustained by long, somewhat clumsy transitions usually at the beginnings of essays. These commonly refer to the Friend's digressiveness, obscurity and prolixity, or to his excessive interest in metaphysics. Yet Coleridge's richly evident irony turn these 'confessions' into a mode of self-defense that orients the reader to his most fundamental moral and metaphysical concerns.\n\nDuality is even more evident in the design of _Philosophical Lectures_. These lectures are organized both chronologically, as a history of philosophy, and conceptually, as a history of the gradual, direct evolution of a proper idea of method. They are the 'Essays on Method' writ large. Teleological histories are common enough, of course. Coleridge differs in the centrality of his desire to explain correct method _per se_ : the lineaments of correct method provide the work's major structural elements. Historical chronology, like autobiographical narrative, is used chiefly for unifying. The _Philosophical Lectures_ are not at all polished: their 'digressive' texture is quite pronounced; transition and emphasis are idiosyncratic. But their basic design is none the less reasonably clear and accessible, probably because Coleridge need merely 'exaggerate' the conventions of teleological history.\n\nThe aphoristic style of _Aids to Reflection_ meets Coleridge's needs even better than the serial essay, by cueing the reader even more clearly to seek interrelations on his own: it is Coleridge's most successful, most sophisticated use of a dual design. James D. Boulger has astutely described both the dual design and the difficulty of this work:\n\nUnfortunately for _Aids to Reflection_ , its two structural principles of organization are intricate without being clear. Coleridge's division into Introductory, Prudential, Moral and Religious, and Spiritual aphorisms, unintentionally belies the importance and number of the religious issues considered; nor does it coordinate the numerous allusions to contemporary religious figures and problems.... On the surface this entire structure seems quite arbitrary, external, and rambling.... Is there, then, any organization in the baffling arrangement which resulted from the merger of the 'Beauties of Leighton' with the 'Moral Prudential, and Spiritual aphorisms'? If there is, it is certainly not a schematic but an ideational principle, and only corresponds occasionally with the putative structures.\n\nWe have seen this 'ideational principle' at work in _Biographia Literaria_ : Coleridge's desire to make his readers think about issues in ways that will lead them to accept the necessity of ideas whose corresponding laws cannot be directly demonstrated. _Aids to Reflection_ is more difficult reading than _Biographia Literaria_ because its issues are more subtle and more complex, but it does not squander the reader's energy as the _Biographia_ occasionally does.\n\n_Aids to Reflection_ provides three elaborate sets of spiritual exercises, designed to conduct the meditating reader from the most basic question, 'How shall I behave?' through some of the most intricate and fundamental problems in Christian doctrine. Coleridge argues that self-interested prudence leads the thinker to morality, which in turn leads him to revealed religion, and then to Christianity as the most perfect of religions. But it does so, of course, only for those who can examine the issues rigorously and correctly. Conducting this rigorous examination \u2013 with Leighton's help, and others' \u2013 allows Coleridge both to explicate his own system of thought and to engage contemporary religious controversies. He manages both tasks so well by writing for a distinct and specialized audience: students of the ministry, who presumably know both the classical and the contemporary arguments about doctrine.\n\nColeridge had tried defining a limited audience in _The Statesman's Manual_ ; but philosophical politicians have always been, I suspect, in rather short supply. Furthermore, 'political skill and foresight' usually depend at least as much on pragmatic skills as on philosophical acuity. Consequently, the contemporary, local half of the argument is both strained and feeble. Placing great chunks of the philosophical argument into appendices \u2013 an attempt, perhaps, to disguise the radical disproportion of parts \u2013 only complicates the reader's attempt to make consecutive sense of the whole. The second of the _Lay Sermons_ avoids appendices, but does not improve upon the vaguely defined local argument. The two _Lay Sermons_ are brilliant, satisfying books for readers who plunder them boldly, seeking out the intriguing parts; but their designs are clumsy.\n\nColeridge's other early dual design is not so awkward, nor does it address an utterly fictitious audience: the lectures on Shakespeare speak to one who expects literature both to entertain and to teach. One can read them both as literary criticism and as an explanation of what Peter Hoheisel calls 'the basic moral principles at work in human life and... the consequences of those principles'. For Coleridge, Hoheisel explains, it was Shakespeare's genius to have grasped and embodied these principles in his plays; the lectures are organized as simultaneous commentaries on the plays and on the moral principles.\n\nColeridge's last work, _On the Constitution of the Church and State_ , is his most conventional. The contemporary problem of Catholic emancipation, and the philosophical problem of 'church' and 'state', stand so closely together that the plaguing problems of transition and emphasis nearly solve themselves. Coleridge has at last found a contemporary issue well suited to the philosophical problems he wants to address. _Church and State_ depends, no less than his other works, on ideas and distinctions that cannot be fully demonstrated; but the difficulty of making us think is not compounded to the same extent with mundane problems of unity and progression. Yet _Church and State_ plods a bit, at least to my sensibilities. It is less playful, less exuberant, more labored than his earlier works.\n\nYet had the _Biographia_ such sobriety, it might have infuriated fewer readers. But something vital would be lost if Coleridge returned to edit away the Baroque complexities of _Biographia Literaria_. To wish them away is somewhat like wishing away Milton's endlessly involuted sentences, or Wordsworth's timelessly undulating pentameters. And perhaps this is my last but most important point: one must read Coleridge's prose as if it were poetry. His prose requires that same patiently acquired knowledge of the text, that same minute attention to meanings and etymologies and repetitions of words, that same sensitivity to images. But, in the end, the sad, stubborn fact remains: _Biographia Literaria_ is not a poem after all. Coleridge criticized Wordsworth for the obscurities introduced by the intrusion of deliberate philosophy into his poetry; I suspect that the poet's judgment usurps the philosopher's at times in Coleridge's prose. The 'speaker' is an image in whom we are to believe for our own sakes, for the imaginative pleasure and insight we can derive from contemplating an image in full poetic faith. But the accounts of 'his' scholarship are not strongly enough integrated into the autobiography to preclude their provoking the wrong kinds of expectations. And these mistaken or at best confused expectations place inordinate stress on all other unifying devices, most of which are far too delicate to support the extra burden. Like Wordsworth's excessively objective poems, _Biographia Literaria_ requires a level of sympathetic imagination that it does not itself elicit and sustain. If one willingly expends the energy Coleridge's poetic prose requires, it is because, in James's words, 'on the whole he is magnificently worth it'.\n\nAnd because Coleridge is worth it, one tolerates his failings. Yes, the _Biographia_ is flawed, but it is also brilliant. Both judgments are accurate, but one must begin by acknowledging what generations of thoughtful readers have affirmed: the book is obscure beyond what its imaginative purposes can justify. I have worked too hard for too many years untangling the snarled threads of Coleridge's discourse to credit any claim to the contrary. And yet, and yet, with equal equanimity do I assert that the book deserves its status as 'masterpiece' no less fully than it deserves various other epithets. When its design is understood, when Coleridge's imaginative purposes are distinguished from his inept execution, then his mistakes become manageable. Nothing can make the _Biographia_ graceful, but such knowledge renders it moderately accessible.\n\n'Vices and all, with all its imperfections on its head', _Biographia Literaria_ none the less succeeds in illuminating the imaginative powers animating art. Generations of thoughtful, weary readers have also affirmed this. Proposing as his immediate object truth, not pleasure, Coleridge offers a vision of how the greatest poems can reconcile lively delight and moral value. While demanding his reader's unflagging energy, Coleridge illuminates his difficult path with imaginative appeals that assert, over and over again, the intimate relation between literary criticism and life itself. Presenting no rigorous proof, he relies instead on our intuitive assent, on our 'ascertaining vision'. He relies on our imagination.\n\n# **Notes**\n\n## **Chapter 1**\n\n _Life of John Sterling_ , in _The Works of Thomas Carlyle_ (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1897), Vol. XI, p. 56.\n\n Among the Victorians, see, for instance: Matthew Arnold, _The Complete Prose Works of Matthew Arnold_ , ed.

Thomas McFarland analyzes the history of C's reputation in the introduction and first chapter of _C and the Pantheist Tradition_ (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1969).\n\n Discussed in Chapters 2 and 5.\n\n These plans have been discussed by George Whalley, 'The integrity of _Biographia Literaria', Essays and Studies_ , n.s., vol. 6 (1953), pp. 87\u2013101; and by Earl Leslie Griggs, _CL_ , III, xlvii-lii; and most recently by Kathleen Wheeler, _Sources, Processes and Methods in C's 'Biographia Literaria'_ (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981), pp. 8\u201328.

The issue is a complex one, as McFarland's history shows. Other views on the issue are discussed below, Ch. 5, n. 2.\n\n The work referred to is _Lay Sermons_. C continues: 'Before a just tribunal of Criticism I could apply still more triumphantly the same test... to two distinct Treatises in the Literary Life, besides the Essay on Authorship as a Trade [Ch. XI].' C would not have written 'in' if he meant 'comprising' or 'constituting'; these two essays are probably chs I to X, and XIV to XXII.\n\n This thematic unity has been defined most fully by George Whalley, 'The integrity of _Biographia Literaria_. George Watson extends one aspect of Whalley's argument in his introduction to _Biographia Literaria_ , ed. George Watson, Everyman's Library (London: Dent, New York: Dutton, 1965). Very short summaries, less comprehensive than Shawcross's, are numerous. J. R. de J. Jackson defines another aspect of the _Biographia_ 's unity: it methodical basis and consistency. See his _Method and Imagination in C's Criticism_ (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 1969), esp. pp. 63\u201372. Most recently, Kathleen Wheeler ( _Sources, Processes and Methods_ ) has argued that C uses a higher or Socratic irony to devise a work whose unity depends upon the reader's imaginative response to certain densely metaphoric passages that ultimately render the _Biographia_ almost entirely self-reflexive.\n\n Owen Barfield, _What C Thought_ (Middletown, Conn.: Wesleyan University Press, 1971), p. 13.\n\n Introduction to _Biographia Literaria_ , ed.

Traveling provides many conventional images for the process of reading; these uses of the 'travel' metaphor are notable for the clarity and consistency with which the authors use the image to distinguish between the clarity or value of the ideas, and the difficulties of the style or manner.\n\n Bishop C. Hunt, Jr, 'C and the endeavor of philosophy', _PMLA_ , vol. 91 (1976), pp. 829\u201339.\n\n C's marginalia on Schelling document his response to arguments for rare and radically independent intellectual powers. These marginalia are compiled and annotated by Henri Nidecker, 'Notes marginales de S. T. Coleridge en marge de Schelling', _Revue de litt\u00e9rature compar\u00e9e_ , Vol. 7 (1927), pp. 736\u201346. For a discussion of the issue, see Shaffer, 'C's aesthetics', pp. 38\u201340, and below, Ch. 3, n. 12. See also Wheeler's account of the ways in which C avoids solipsistic idealism: _Sources, Processes and Methods_ , pp. 34\u201341.\n\n For definitions of idea, see _CCS_ , 12; _LS_ , 113\u201314. For the relations between idea and law, see _PhL_ , 107\u20138; _CCS_ , 13, 19\u201320.\n\n See _BL_ , II, 85\u201394.\n\n Jerome C. Christensen ingeniously seizes this fact to argue that _BL_ is radically self-deconstructed: it reveals C's understanding that statements are prisons, or that freedom is possible only within indeterminacy. A deconstructionist no doubt serves major strategic ends by arguing that even _BL_ actively undermines its own traditional humanism, but C _never_ valued the kind of indeterminacy Christensen describes. None the less, Christensen's description of C's 'marginal' method of composition holds great promise as the basis for a systematic theory of C's use of his own notebooks and others' texts. See 'The genius in the _Biographia Literaria', Studies in Romanticism_ , vol. 17 (1978), pp. 215\u201331; and 'C's marginal method in the _Biographia Literaria_ ', _PMLA_ , vol. 92 (1977), pp. 928\u201340. Lawrence Buell takes much the same approach, contending that C is systematically 'deformalizing' his text: 'The question of form in C's _Biographia Literaria', ELH_ , vol. 46 (1979), pp. 399\u2013417. On the whole, Wheeler's account of C's facility with the higher or Socratic irony explains far more convincingly why it is that he so persistently represents his works as fragments or fragmentary: _Sources, Processes and Methods_ , pp. 59\u201380.\n\n Jackson, _Method and Imagination_ , p. 40.\n\n 'Coleridge', _Tait's Magazine_ , n.s., vol. 1 (Aug 1834), p. 514; reprinted in _De Quincey's Collected Writings_ , ed. Masson, Vol. II, pp. 152\u20133.\n\n J. A. Appleyard, SJ, _C's Philosophy of Literature: The Development of a Concept of Poetry, 1791\u20131819_ (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 1965), reveals even more fully the hazards of such dismissal. He discounts chs II and III (p. 174, n. 10) and chs X and XI (p. 188), because he has chosen to study the _Biographia_ as 'Coleridge's own immediate deliberations on his theories' of poetry and imagination, a perspective sharply distinguished from studying it as 'an exposition of a philosophy or even as a biographical sketch of literary opinions' (p. 170, see also p. 176). Such an approach foreordains his inability to see how the theory of secondary imagination can explain both the spontaneous activity of the mind requisite for poetry, and the unity of being and knowing in perception: 'Coleridge sets up requirements for the imagination that it cannot possibly fulfill in terms of its original [i.e. temporally prior] conception' (p. 183). Appleyard's willingness to discount not only major sections of the text, but also C's explicit intention to provide the philosophy underlying his literary theories, leads necessarily to his conclusion that the _Biographia_ is a 'remarkable failure' (p. 169). Appleyard's methods also lead directly to his reading the epistemological function of imagination in unduly Schellingean terms: imagination is not the source and guarantor of truth. As the neglected ch. X explains, God is this source and guarantor.\n\n Introduction to _Biographia Literaria_ , ed. Watson, p. xv.\n\n Documenting and analyzing C's grasp of this equation are among the principal endeavors of McFarland, _C and the Pantheist Tradition_ , and Wheeler, _Sources, Processes and Methods_.\n\n For a fuller explanation of this view of C's idea of symbol, see J. Robert Barth, SJ, _The Symbolic Imagination: C and the Romantic Tradition_ (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1977), pp. 3\u201321. A submerged issue here is quite complex: how can human knowledge generally attain the precision and predictive value characteristic of mathematics? This is one of the major issues Kant addresses in _Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics_ and, at greater length, in _The Critique of Pure Reason_.\n\n Barth, _The Symbolic Imagination_ , pp. 14\u201317.\n\n ibid., p. 14.\n\n Richard Mallette, 'Narrative technique in the _Biographia Literaria_ ', _Modern Language Review_ , vol. 70 (1975), pp. 32\u201340.\n\n Jackson, _Method and Imagination_ , p. 72.\n\n Richard Haven, _Patterns of Consciousness: An Essay on Coleridge_ (Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 1969), p. 12.\n\n James Olney, _Metaphors of Self : The Meaning of Autobiography_ (Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 1972), pp. 3\u20134. Olney argues for the propriety of autobiography as a vehicle for philosophy. Coleridge's adaptation of his literal life and his enigmatic promise in the last chapter to write a _personal_ autobiography suggest a highly developed understanding of the philosophic potential of the genre as Olney has described it.\n\n See, for instance, _F_ , I, 107\u201326, 149\u201353; _LS_ , 43\u201352; _AR_ , 167\u20138, 199\u2013200, 235\u20138, 276\u201381. The lengthy summarizing transitions in _The Friend_ and the _Lay Sermons_ are not literal summaries, but attempts to provide a single perspective from which the reader might integrate what has gone before, and preview terrain ahead. These do not appear in _Biographia Literaria_ , perhaps because Coleridge relies instead on the perspectival function of chronology: one who continually tries to relate each part of the _Biographia_ to the autobiography does in fact begin to integrate the whole. Transitions become relatively shorter and more effective in _Aids to Reflection_ , and quite graceful in _On the Constitution of Church and State_. He also seems to have objected to the 'orienting' transition itself: 'Hotheaded men confuse, your cool-headed Gentry jumble, the man of warm feelings only produces order and true connection \u2014 in what a jumble M. & H. write \u2014 every third paragraph beginning with \u2014 \"Let us now return\" or \"We come now to the consideration of such a thing\" \u2014 i.e. what I _said_ I _would_ come to in the Contents prefixed to the Chapter' ( _CN_ , I, 868). When Coleridge deviates from his own ideal, it is obviously toward hotheadedness.\n\n Wheeler, _Sources, Processes and Methods_.\n\n Symons, introduction to _Biographia Literaria_ , ed. Rhys, pp. ix\u2013x.\n\n## **Chapter 2**\n\n Beginning with Ch. 2, citations to the _Biographia_ will be identified by volume and page number alone; _'BL'_ will not appear.\n\n In the 'Essays on Method' in _The Friend_ , C calls education 'the most weighty and concerning of all sciences... the nisus formativus of social man' _(F_ , I, 493\u20134). His abiding interest in the process of thinking underlies his complementary arguments about education and about method. For further discussion, see Jackson, _Method and Imagination_ , ch. 2; and Barfield, _What C Thought_ , chs 1 and 2.\n\n C's accounts of the intellectual and emotional hazards of heartless philosophy are often misread as indictments of philosophizing generally, especially in commentaries on 'Dejection: An Ode'. Geoffrey Yarlott offers a statement that is exemplary in its failure to distinguish false from genuine philosophy: 'Since experience showed that thought and feeling must go together it followed that to differentiate and isolate them was merely inviting trouble. It led to what he called \"the thinking disease\", on which \"no moral being ever becomes healthy\". Though metaphysics provided incidental compensation (it being a salve for his wounded self-esteem that here was a sphere in which he outshone all rivals), because it was basically a neurotic activity it could afford no final anodyne' ( _C and the Abyssinian Maid_ (London: Methuen, 1967), p. 222). Major portions of C's achievements are waved aside here as 'neurotic', and radically isolated from what Yarlott rightly depicts as the central issue of C's value-system: reconciling ideas and feelings. Yet, in the midst of the years to which Yarlott refers, C writes to Southey, 'Believe me, Southey! a metaphysical Solution, that does not instantly _tell_ for something in the Heart, is grievously to be suspected as apocry[p]hal' ( _CL_ , II, 961). The 'blessed interval' to which C refers at I, 10, is the period before his complex emotional difficulties rendered it distressing to think about his feelings; 'abstruse researches', although technically useful, become morally and intellectually dangerous if they are mistaken for the enterprise of philosophy itself (see I, 98, _F_ , I, 523 n, and Haven, _Patterns of Consciousness)_. As McFarland argues, C was always a poet and always a philosopher; and he was a philosopher of such erudition that his work poses major methodological problems for its students ( _C and the Pantheist Tradition_ , pp. 112\u201316, xxiii\u2013xi).\n\n Unless epistemology anchor itself to a real world immediately known, C contends, it sinks into extreme forms of materialism and idealism \u2014 extremes that are inimical not only to religion, but also to the most rudimentary forms of moral responsibility. For a further discussion of C's rejection of these extremes, see McFarland, _C and the Pantheist Tradition_. I. A. Richards's analysis of the two extremes remains a model of lucidity and economy ( _C on Imagination_ (1935; 2nd edn, New York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1950), ch. 3). C's definition of faith as both volitional and cognitive is the key to the solution he sought; for an introduction to the doctrinal controversy, see J. Robert Barth, SJ, _C and Christian Doctrine_ (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1969), ch. II.\n\n There are two thorny problems here: Did C complete a system? and, Is it pantheist? McFarland contends that no formally closed philosophic system could encompass all that C wanted to include ( _C and the Pantheist Tradition_ , p. 192, and ch. 3 passim). Barfield says that one can judge C pantheist only by ignoring his statements about the Trinity ( _What C Thought_ , pp. 149\u201350). Although Barfield is not as concerned with formal philosophic criteria as McFarland (ibid., pp. 149\u201350), he none the less explicates in great detail the consistency of C's thought (see pp. 5, 13). In a review, McFarland contends that the polar metaphysics Barfield explicates is ultimately pantheist, and was later abandoned ( _The Wordsworth Circle_ , Vol. 4 (1973), pp. 165\u201370). But McFarland also acknowledges that Barfield's book remains a most valuable guide to C's thinking on many issues, particularly at the stage represented by _Biographia Literaria_. At one point, Barfield describes his whole book as basically a commentary on ch. 12 (p. 63). The major theoretical issues engaged by Barfield and McFarland cannot be addressed thoroughly within the scope of the present study, although I will later note both the ways in which C diverges from Schelling to link his psychology, his poetics and his metaphysics to the orthodox Christian God, and the ways in which this philosophically frail link is strengthened rhetorically.\n\n In _'Quisque sui faber:_ Coleridge in the _Biographia Literaria_ ', _Philological Quarterly_ , Vol. 50 (1971), pp. 208\u201329, M. G. Cooke attributes the 'letter' in ch. XIII in part to C's loss of confidence after literally stopping his composition to reread Wordsworth's 1815 preface, but this judgment does not take adequately into account either this distinct reference to the central disagreement with Wordsworth, or the elaborate pattern culminating in the 'letter' (discussed below, Ch. 5). Neither does it fully enough consider the body of evidence testifying to C's much earlier recognition that he and Wordsworth disagree in significant ways (cited and discussed by Whalley, 'The integrity of _Biographia Literaria_ '). There is none the less great merit in Cooke's describing the autobiographical self as a self-creative psychological act; Cooke very sensitively evaluates the stylistic and philosophic consequences of C's own recognition that he had not fully and adequately defined his theory of imagination. The rhetorical functions I describe add to the _Biographia_ 's complexity as a psychological document: much work remains to be done.\n\n Barfield, _What C Thought_ , p. 87.\n\n Shawcross points out that C exaggerates his revision of his poems in response to early reviews (I, 3; I, 204\u20135), and shortens his list of publications by omitting _The Watchman, The Friend_ and _Conciones ad Populum_ (I, 38; I, 218). Yet since the speaker later describes his efforts with _The Watchman_ in great detail, and several times quotes or refers to _The Friend_ , it is difficult to put a precise interpretation on the misrepresentation (I, 114\u201321; I, 60; I, 110; I, 119). In general, the character or achievements of the speaker are exaggerated or deflated from those of the real man so as to sharpen the contrast between philosophic and anonymous criticism.\n\n Yarlott, _C and the Abyssinian Maid_ , ch. I et passim.\n\n For a discussion of C's philosophy of history, and the influence of his views, see Robert Preyer, _Bentham, C, and the Science of History_ , Beitrage zur englischen Phil., 41. Heft. (Bochum-Langendreer: H. Popinghaus, 1958).\n\n C's portrait of anonymous critics at I, 25\u20139, should be compared to Pope's portrait of the evolution of the inept critic in 'An Essay on Criticism', which of course has origins of its own, as the lines from Pindar at II, 121, suggest. In this context, a footnote in ch. III accuses Jeffrey of maliciously misrepresenting his opinion of C (I, 36 n). Later, C accuses him of lying in the same way about Wordsworth (II, 129). Jeffrey responds in a long footnote to Hazlitt's review in the _Edinburgh Review_ ( _C: The Critical Heritage_ , ed. J. R. de J. Jackson (London: Routledge, 1970), pp. 314 n-318); Hazlitt in turn echoes Dryden's 'MacFlecknoe' (ibid., p. 298). The controversy is picked up in later reviews in _Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine_ (ibid., pp. 344\u20135) and in _British Critic_ (ibid., pp. 366\u20139). There are still later notes in a letter to the editor in _Blackwood's_ (ibid., p. 353), and in Crabb Robinson's diary, published as _Books and Their Writers_ , ed. Edith J. Morley (London: Dent, 1938), Vol. I, p. 209. This exchange of views is but a brief indication of the extent to which C's remarks about reviewers provoked lively reaction. For further discussion, see David Erdman and Paul Zall, 'C and Jeffrey in controversy', _Studies in Romanticism_ , vol. 14 (1975), pp. 75\u201383; and Nathaniel Teich, 'C's _Biographia Literaria_ and the contemporary controversy about style', _The Wordsworth Circle_ , vol. 3 (1972), pp. 61\u201370. For an account of C's own work as a reviewer, see David Erdmann, 'Coleridge and the review business', _The Wordsworth Circle_ , vol. 6 (1975), pp. 3\u201350. For discussion of C's use of eighteenth-century satirical modes, see Mallette, 'Narrative technique in the _Biographia Literaria'_.\n\n For discussion, see David Erdman, 'Coleridge as \"Nehemiah Higgenbottom'\", _MLN_ , vol. 73 (1958), pp. 569\u201380.\n\n The paragraph from _Ecclesiastical Polity_ uses metaphors of depth four times to describe first principles. The metaphor of height that C quotes is the only one. See Vol. I, bk 1, sect. 2.\n\n The continual insistence that criticism be personally unbiased and properly derived from first principles once found a sympathetic audience among professional academic critics, as did the insistence that poetry has a logic of its own, as severe as that of science but more subtle and more complex. Yet the _British Critic_ review disputed the first claim, asserting that criticism is best served by a literary equivalent of the legal adversary system; Wilson was outraged by the second (Jackson (ed.), _Critical Heritage_ , pp. 361\u20133, 336\u20137).\n\n In _Sources, Processes and Methods in Cs 'Biographia Literaria'_ , Kathleen Wheeler takes a different position on this issue. She suggests that those who find _BL_ obscure are themselves unimaginative, passive or lazyminded (see, e.g., pp. 6, 109, 110, 112, 128). I grant that lazy and unimaginative readers will understand very little of C's argument \u2013 and little of Wheeler's, either. But such are not usually taken as representative instances of the 'competent' reader. If one grants Iser's contention that texts do not 'contain' meanings but, rather, provide 'instructions' for the reader's active endeavor to assemble meanings, then some of _BL_ 's instructions must be judged inadequate, and many more criticized as excessively idiosyncratic. Wheeler's sweeping indictment fails to take adequately into account the close attention paid to the book by many outstanding scholars, critics and poets both in this century and the last.\n\n Southey's role in C's marriage to Sara Fricker casts a shadow of irony over C's statements. In subtle ways, judgment is associated with fancy throughout the _Biographia;_ judgment itself is the work of understanding. This link becomes most evident when Wordsworth's disproportions \u2014 clearly failures of judgment \u2014 are represented as failures to direct fancy appropriately (II, 104\u20135). One who has exceptionally good judgment, particularly in matters of rhetoric, is one whose fancy is most strongly attuned to 'that state of association, which actually exists as _general'_ (I, 105). In coordination with imagination, such attunement is crucially important for poetry; but in isolation from imagination it generates faint praise from C.\n\n R. H. Fogle, _The Idea of C's Criticism_ (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1962), p. 40.\n\n See Barfield, _What C Thought_ , pp. 64\u20137 et passim. McFarland explores at length the consequences of Coleridge's dual allegiance to a creative mind and a real physical world immediately known _(C and the Pantheist Tradition)_. In places Wheeler tends to assimilate Coleridge to Kant on this issue (e.g. _Sources, Processes and Methods_ , pp. 40\u20131).\n\n Preface to Second Edition, _Critique of Pure Reason_ , trans.

IV; cf. _AR_ , 183, n. 2 ff.). See also McFarland, _C and_ _the Pantheist Tradition_ , ch. 4, esp. pp. 235\u201344. On personality and reason, see _F_ , I, 97\u20138.

On sin, see _AR_ , 248\u201350, 259\u201362, 273\u20134.\n\n The distinction between reason and understanding takes two forms, explained at length in the _Statesman's Manual_ (pp. 59\u201360 and nn) and the _Aids to Reflection_ (pp. 211\u201325, and 'Appendix', pp. 353\u20134). Regarded _theoretically_ , '... the Understanding... concerns itself exclusively with the quantities, qualities, and relations _of particulars_ in time and space. The UNDERSTANDING, therefore, is the science of phaenomena, and their subsumption under distinct kinds and sorts, ( _genus_ and _species)._ Its functions supply the rules and constitute the possibility of EXPERIENCE; but remain mere logical _forms_ , except as far as _materials_ are given by the senses or sensations. The REASON, on the other hand, is the science of the _universal_ [.]... The Reason first manifests itself in man by the _tendency_ to the comprehension of all as one. We can neither rest in an infinite that is not at the same time a whole, nor in a whole that is not infinite' ( _LS_ , 59\u201360). In its theoretical function, Reason discovers or invents theories, explanations in which all particulars are treated as a unified whole, as _one_ not a conglomerate: 'from individual (or particular) and contingent facts and forms [Reason] concludes universal, necessary, and permanent Truth' ( _LS_ , 19, n. 1). The _practical_ version of the distinction centers on morals, not inquiry. The practical reason is 'the power of determining the Will by Ideas, as _Ultimate_ ends'; it is often equated with will or with conscience ( _LS_ , 61 n). This power distinguishes man as a moral being from the animals. The practical Understanding is 'the faculty of selecting and adapting means to _proximate_ ends'; it is a more highly developed form of instinct ( _LS_ , 61 n). The two sets of distinctions are so closely related that C often discusses theoretical and practical aspects simultaneously. He calls the distinction between Reason and Understanding the _'Gradus ad Philosophiam' (TT_ , 14 May 1830); it is the first point that a student of his prose must master \u2013 although the distinction is an ancient one. C himself directs beginners first to _F_ , I 154\u201361, and then to _LS_ , 59\u201393 ( _CL_ , IV, 851). One should also consult _AR_ , 221\u20135, which richly illustrates the distinction, and relates it to the nature of language.\n\n On self-knowledge and the knowledge of God, see _AR_ , 79, n 2; _LS_ , 68, n. 3. On the Incarnation, see above, n. 6. The passage in quotation marks is from the Nicene Creed.\n\n For a statement of the progression from self-knowledge to knowledge of God, freedom and immortality, see _CCS_ , 47 n; _F_ , I, 112.\n\n Another, more common way of describing this is to say that imagination mediates between reason and understanding and again between understanding and sensation. Commentary on this issue has usually centered on a marginal note in Tenneman's _Geschichte der Philosophie_ , printed for the first time in _C on the Seventeenth Century_ , ed. Roberta Brinkley (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1955), pp. 693\u20134. J. A. Appleyard, SJ, writes that before _Biographia Literaria_ there is no discussion of imagination that gives the faculty a general epistemological function ( _C's Philosophy of Literature_ , p. 207). See below, Ch. 5, n. 27.\n\n This philosophic consciousness (secondary imagination) is not to be confused with Schelling's _intellektuelle Anschauung_ , which is a rare faculty whereby the mind catches itself in the act of creating the external world (see Shaffer, 'C's aesthetics', pp. 32\u201340; and Gian Orsini, _C and German Idealism_ (Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 1969), p. 202). There are two principal differences. First, for C the external world is independently real and existent, not a creation of consciousness. Secondly, for C philosophic consciousness is not the knowledge of anything fundamentally unconscious but rather an awareness of one's activity as a thinker, an awareness of one's _activity_ in sorting, judging, attending or ignoring, believing, concluding. It is the ability to watch oneself think, and to reflect upon such observations.\n\n For relevant discussions of symbol, see _LS_ , 28\u201330, 69\u201370.\n\n As McFarland points out, the relations among imagination, understanding and reason are not entirely clear even in Kant's own works; further complexities derive from the fact that both Kant and C derive theories of imagination from Tetens (The origin and significance of C's theory of secondary imagination', in _New Perspectives on C and Wordsworth_ , ed. Geoffrey Hartman (New York: Columbia University Press, 1972), pp. 195\u2013246). George Whalley sorts through the technical philosophic issues underlying the relation between C and Kant on imagination in _Poetic Process_ (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1953), pp. 46\u201363. See also A. O. Lovejoy, 'C and Kant's two worlds', _ELH_ , vol. 7 (1940), pp. 341\u201362.\n\n Among the exceptions is Michael G. Cooke, _The Romantic Will_ (New Haven, Conn., and London: Yale University Press, 1976): 'In this story of an individual which modulated into a story of being... the presence of the will, though it has gone largely unnoticed, is radical and pervasive' (p. 28). And Geoffrey Yarlott is no doubt correct when he describes C's life as dominated by his quest to unite thought and feeling or power and strength, and when he notes that C 'tended to identify this want of strength with some atrophy or deficiency of the _Will'_ ( _C and the Abyssinian Maid_ , p. 15). Yarlott's analysis of C's psychological difficulties suggests that the centrality of will in _BL_ must have had a personal significance that might have given the work a tighter unity for C than it ordinarily possesses for us.\n\n Mackintosh replies to C's charge of historical errors in a note to his _Dissertation on the Progress of Ethical Philosophy_ (Edinburgh: A. & C. Black, 1836), note T-U. Mackintosh's commentary on Hobbes and Hartley in this work suggests that he would not have praised them so richly as C here claims. C's notes on the first five lectures of the second (1800) series attribute to Mackintosh certain materialist suppositions refuted in chs V-VIII: e.g. 'Makes Idea (of course) mean Image' (see _CN_ , I, 634 and n). The story of Hartley's influence has often been told. Richard Haven argues persuasively that Hartley's linking associationist psychology to Christianity explains C's early interest in him. See 'C, Hartley, and the mystics', _Journal of the History of Ideas_ , vol. 20(1959), pp. 477\u201394; for a further development of the same general perspective on C's career, see also his _Patterns of Consciousness._ For a full and detailed history of C's associationism, see James V. Baker, _The Sacred River: C's Theory of the Imagination_ (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1957), esp. ch. 2.\n\n In commenting on the story of the serving girl, a review signed 'Oriel College, Oxford', complains that 'on such a vague and indefinite statement, no true philosopher could, we think, venture to found any serious speculation' ('David Hume charged by Mr. Coleridge with plagiarism from St. Thomas Aquinas', _Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine_ , vol. 3 (Sept 1818), pp. 653\u20137). Yet prior claims about will show that the story is merely to illustrate or at most confirm something already known. The facts about will that it illuminates are among those that experience confirms but cannot teach. This short, interesting review stands apart from its fellows in praising C's 'singularly acute metaphysics', especially in chs V-VIII. The review is not listed or reprinted in William S. Ward (ed.), _Literary Reviews in British Periodicals, 1798\u20131820: A Bibliography_ , 2 vols (New York: Garland, 1972), or Donald Reiman (ed.), _The Romantics Reviewed: Contemporary Reviews of British Romantic Writers_ , 3 vols in 9 pts (New York: Garland, 1973).\n\n See _Enneads_ , I, 6 [4], [9], trans.

See 'C and criticism: I. critical theory', in _Writers and Their Background: STC_ , ed. R. L. Brett (Athens, Ohio: Ohio University Press, 1972), p. 128. See also Baker, _The Sacred River._\n\n On Hobbes's originality, see Shedd III, 209 n; Shawcross, I, 229; Mackintosh, _Dissertation on the Progress of Ethical Philosophy_ , p. 197. Shawcross's reference to Mackintosh's note 'S' is mistaken. The key to C's use of Hobbes may lie in Hobbes's commentary on wit, judgment and fancy, rather than in Mackintosh or mechanisms for association. C's use of both Hobbes and Descartes deserves further investigation.\n\n 'Schemes of conduct, grounded on calculations of self-interest, or on the average consequences of actions, supposed to be general, form a branch of political economy, to which let all due honor be given. Their utility is not here questioned. But however estimable within their own sphere such schemes, or any one of them in particular, may be, they do not belong to moral science, to which, both in kind and purpose, they are in all cases foreign, and, when substituted for it, hostile' ( _AR_ , 268). See also John Stuart Mill's famous distinction of the thinkers of his day into Coleridgeans and Benthamites ('Coleridge', in _Autobiography and Other Writings_ , ed. Jack Stillinger (Boston, Mass.: Houghton-Mifflin, 1969), pp. 259\u2013309, see esp. pp. 259\u201369).\n\n The 'Essays on Method' in _The Friend_ define the proper relation between methods of inquiry in the physical sciences and in the humanities ( _F_ , I, 448\u2013524). On C's resolution of the competing ontologies of science and religion, see _AR_ , 277, and C. Miles Wallace, 'C's _Biographia Literaria_ and the evidence for Christianity', in _Interspace and the Inward Sphere_ , ed. Norman A. Anderson and Margene E. Weiss (Macomb, Ill.: _Essays in Literature_ Books, 1978), pp. 19\u201332.\n\n John Arthur Passmore, _Ralph Cudworth_ (London: Cambridge University Press, 1951), pp. 5\u20136. The reference may be submerged because C in _BL_ defends Spinoza's philosophy as not necessarily incompatible with religion. In this regard, note the link between Spinoza and Leibnitz in ch. VIII's headnote. Cudworth's _The True Intellectual System of the Universe_ may have been one of C's resources in writing _BL._ According to Passmore, Cudworth's book offers a 'sustained polemic' against Hobbes, and against 'aetheistic materialism' (pp. 3, 9). Cudworth, like Coleridge, insists on the continuity of tradition in philosophy, and protests the modern emphasis on originality and innovation (pp. 13\u201314). Cudworth also insists that Cartesian 'clear and distinct' ideas need no evidence (p. 9), an argument C adapts in ch. X. C's emphasis on the errors of Cartesian dualism, rather than the errors of dualism _per se_ , may partly reflect Cudworth's admiration for the doctrine (Passmore, p. 8). Elsewhere, C describes Descartes' 'Mechanic or Corpuscular scheme' as leading to the philosophies of Berkeley and Spinoza \u2013 opposite forms of the same error ( _AR_ , 344 and n). Writing in the _Encyclopedia of Philosophy_ (New York: Macmillan, 1967), Passmore also notes that opposition to fanaticism was a principal concern of Benjamin Whichcote, influential teacher of Cudworth and the other Cambridge Platonists (Vol. II, p. 9). See also W. Schrickx, 'C and the Cambridge Platonists', _Review of English Literature_ , vol. 7 (1966), pp. 71\u201389.\n\n## **Chapter 4**\n\n Walter Jackson Bate explains that C 'wanted to cut off the word \"imagination\" from any associations it still had with a mere \"image-making\" faculty which produces, separates, or joins together images derived from sensation' ( _Coleridge_ (New York: Collier Books, 1973), p. 162). He does so not by wrenching 'imagination' into an entirely new meaning, but by more closely examining the relation of mind to world underlying the old definition. See also Thomas McFarland, The origin and significance of C's theory of secondary imagination', in _New Perspectives on C and Wordsworth_ , ed.

Shaffer translates the relevant sections from Schelling's _System of Transcendental Idealism_ in an appendix. The principal arguments of the dissertation reappear in three journal articles, but the discussion of Schelling and the _Biographia_ is so severely condensed that the thesis remains preferable. See also 'The \"Postulates in Philosophy\" in the _Biographia Literaria_ '; 'C's theory of aesthetic interest', _Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism_ , vol. 27 (1969), pp. 399\u2013408; 'C's revolution in the standard of taste', ibid., vol. 28 (1969), pp. 213\u201321.\n\n _CN_ , III, 4265 n. McFarland both analyzes and extends the work that has already been done in _C and the Pantheist Tradition_ , ch. 1. The most detailed and reliable analysis that judges C derivative is Orsini, _C and German Idealism_. According to Orsini, C's 'rightful place in the history of philosophical ideas' is as a translator of Schelling (p. 221). One should also consult Ren\u00e9 Wellek's discussions of Coleridge in _The Romantic Age_ , in _A History of Modern Criticism_ , Vol. II (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 1955), pp. 151\u201387; and in _The English Romantic Poets: A Review of Research and Criticism_ , ed. Frank Jordan, Jr, 3rd edn (New York: MLA, 1972), pp. 209\u201358. One interested in C's comments on the matter might begin with _CN_ , II, 2375 and 2546; CN, I, 1695.\n\n For instance, _CCS_ , 44\u20135 echoes the Cis- and Trans-Alpine passage (I, 164\u20137); _LS_ , 137, repeats the first half of the scholium to Thesis II (I, 174); _AR_ , 108 n, repeats the definitions of nature, subject and object (I, 174); _AR_ , 122 and 224 n, clarifies the comparison between the transcendental philosopher and the geometer (I, 171\u20133). Given C's habitual incorporating and rewriting of others' texts, his rewriting of his own work cannot by itself constitute evidence of dissatisfaction with the original. But one does find direct evidence of such dissatisfaction. As early as July 1817, C refers to 'a few opinions which better information and more reflection would now annul. But even these will, I trust, be found only in the lesser branches, as knotts [sic] & scars that may exist without implying either canker at the root, or malignant quality in the general sap of the tree' ( _CL_ , IV, 758). And in September of 1818 he criticizes Schelling's 'making all knowledge bi-polar, Transcendental Idealism as one Pole and Nature as the other', and laments his use of the idea in _BL_ ( _CL_ , IV, 874). As I describe below, C's sharp division between transcendental idealism and the total philosophy does not successfully distinguish ch. XII's philosophy from pantheism (below, pp. 81\u20134).\n\n On C's views of the relation between art and religion, see _LS_ , 62; _COS_ , 88\u20139.\n\n See McFarland, _C and the Pantheist Tradition_ , pp. 116\u201323.\n\n See Kathleen Coburn, 'The interpenetration of Man and Nature', _Proceedings of the British Academy_, vol. 49 (1963), pp. 95\u2013113, for an explanation of this theme in C's thought.\n\n This belief about common consciousness probably underlies C's early interest in Hartley and associationism. See above, Ch. 3, n. 16.\n\n Roman numerals following a page number indicate line numbers, which I will provide whenever such exact reference may be helpful.\n\n See Shaffer, 'C's aesthetics', pp. 1\u201330, for an explanation of the technical issue with which Schelling wrestles. C translates his specialized references to geometry into an explanatory analogy.\n\n J. B. Beer, _C the Visionary_ (London: Chatto & Windus, 1959), pp. 70\u20131.\n\n See above, Ch. 3, pp. 30\u201342, and Ch. 4, pp 61\u20133.\n\n This traditional reference is a favorite of C's. See _LPR_ , 94, n. 3, for a listing of other instances, and of his sources. For discussion, see C. Miles Wallace, 'C's theory of language', _Philological Quarterly_ , vol. 59 (1980), pp. 338\u201352.\n\n See McFarland, _C and the Pantheist Tradition_ , pp. 53\u20138, 107\u201312. C's 'original realism' is not, as Appleyard claims, a na\u00efve position to which he falls back because he lacks a theory ( _C's Philosophy of Literature_ , p. 196).\n\n For thesis I, see I, 94, 174; for thesis II, see I, 168; for thesis III, see I, 168, 172\u20134, 178; for thesis V, see I, 66, 175\u20138; for thesis VI, see I, 94\u20135.\n\n 'Organic' is a more complicated and specialized term in C's thought than it later became in critical theory generally. See, e.g., _TT_ , 18 Dec 1831, where he proposes 'a sheaf of corn' as an example of the 'inorganic'. The issue is explicated at length in the _Theory of Life_. On organicism generally, see, e.g., Barfield, _What C Thought_ , pp. 41\u201362 and 210 n. 3; R. H. Fogle, _The Idea of C's Criticism_ , pp. 18\u201368; M. H. Abrams, _The Mirror and the Lamp_ (London: Oxford University Press, 1953), esp. pp. 167\u201377, 218\u201355; and James Benziger, 'Organic unity: Leibnitz to Coleridge', _PMLA_ , vol. 46, no. 2 (1951), pp. 24\u201348.\n\n Not all agree that these are equivalent terms, but the alternative is to conclude that there must be as many kinds of imagination as there are kinds of human endeavor. S. V. Pradhan analyzes the patterns of C's usage, and concludes this is the case ('C's \"Philocrisy\" and his theory of fancy and secondary imagination', _Studies in Romanticism_ , vol. 13 (1974), pp. 235\u201354). Parsimony is better served by agreeing with Barfield that C shifts vocabulary to suit his context ( _What C Thought_ , p. 76). As an example, compare I, 167, xvii\u2013xxvii, and I, 173, x\u2013xxxi. I take it that in the second passage C refers to the effective development of the faculty, and in the first to its 'genotypic' presence.\n\n In the _Philosophical Lectures_ , C traces how philosophers and scientists, working from 'opposite' ends, discover the need to postulate a single force, which Christ reveals as the personal triune God.\n\n My position depends in large measure on taking seriously C's division of all inquiry into three domains. Grosvenor Powell reads this thesis (in effect) as part of the total philosophy, and argues well that C does establish an infinite regress that badly confuses the distinction between God and man. See 'C's \"imagination\" and the infinite regress of consciousness', _ELH_ , vol. 39 (1972), pp. 266\u201378. On the validity of this division as a bulwark against pantheism, see below, pp. 81\u20134.\n\n For C's response to the 1815 preface as part of the genesis of _BL_ , see above, Ch. 1, n. 4.\n\n Arthur Lovejoy, _The Great Chain of Being_ (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1936, 1964), esp. ch. III.\n\n Cited in translation supplied by Watson in the Everyman's Library edition (1965), p. 161, n. 2.\n\n Cited in translation supplied by Watson, ibid., p. 162, n. 1. Compare a different translation of the same lines in a notebook entry, _CN_ , III, 4189 n. The _dance_ metaphor is present in the Greek.\n\n This idea is explored at length in the _Theory of Life_. See also above, Ch. 5, nn. 6 and 15.\n\n See _CL_ , IV, 728.\n\n McFarland, _C and the Pantheist Tradition_ , p. 156.\n\n See above, Ch. 3, n. 17.\n\n These definitions are the _locus classicus_ for arguments about C's theory of imagination. These arguments can be very roughly divided into two sorts: those principally concerned with the theory as part of C's philosophy, and those predominantly concerned with its role in his criticism. On the second of these groups, see below, Ch. 6, nn. 4, 5, 7. Arguments about the philosophical significance of imagination have more or less centered on the problematic relation between reason and imagination. To what extent do the qualities C attributes to imagination and all its works essentially derive from reason itself? What are the proper qualities of imagination, as distinguishable from the powers and elements it synthesizes? The questions are complicated enormously by C's intricate relations to Kant, to Schelling, to Tetens, and to others (see above, Ch. 3, n. 14). Principal studies include: Barfield, _What C Thought_ ; James D . Boulger, 'C on imagination revisited', _The Wordsworth Circle_ , vol. 4 (1973), pp. 13\u201324; Jackson, _Method and Imagination_ ; Roy Park, 'C and Kant: poetic imagination and practical reason', _British Journal of Aesthetics_ , vol. 8 (1968), pp. 335\u201346, 'Coleridge's two voices as a critic of Wordsworth', _ELH_ , vol. 36 (1969), pp. 361\u201381, and 'Coleridge: philosopher and theologian as literary critic', _University of Toronto Quarterly_ , vol. 38 (1969), pp. 17\u201333; Pradhan, 'C's \"Philocrisy\" and his theory of fancy and secondary imagination'. The questions remain vexing and, in the last analysis, probably without adequate answers. The powers of the mind are not independent programs which can each run the same computer. When one studies the mind in strict abstraction, it is easy enough to define reason, to define imagination, and to distinguish the definitions. In a parallel way, anatomy is distinct from physiology, from biochemistry, from pathology, and from genetics. But when one studies the mind not as an abstraction but as an act, then the tidy distinctions begin to blur. As C insists, when the mind acts, the whole mind acts; and poetry requires the richest, fullest mental activity. When a gleeful child runs pell-mell down the street, who can say what is due to anatomy, to physiology, to genetics? The more closely one studies the interactivity of reason and imagination, the farther one moves from abstraction to life.\n\n Sara Coleridge observes that her father later lined out this clause in a copy of the book (Shedd III, p. 363 n). Shawcross's repetition of her note refers somewhat ambiguously to the 'sentence', leading some readers to believe that C had deleted _all_ reference to primary imagination. _BL_ provides C's only statements concerning primary imagination.\n\n## **Chapter 6**\n\n My views on C's idea of language appeared first as 'C's theory of language'.\n\n R. H. Fogle, _The Idea of C's Criticism_ , p. 8.\n\n Compare Wordsworth: 'If words be not... an incarnation of the thought but only a clothing for it, then surely will they prove an ill gift' ('Essays upon Epitaphs, III', _The Prose Works of William Wordsworth_ , ed. W. J. B. Owen and Jane Worthington Smyser (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1974), Vol. II, pp. 84\u20135; cited afterwards as _Pr. Wk W._ ). On Wordsworth's idea of language in relation to his idea of poetry, see M. H. Abrams, 'Wordsworth and C on diction and figures', _English Institute Essays, 1952_ , ed. Alan S. Downer (New York: Columbia University Press, 1954) pp. 171\u2013201; Frances Ferguson, _Wordsworth: Language as Counter-Spirit_ (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 1977); and W. J. B. Owen, _Wordsworth as Critic_ (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1969). See also below, Ch. 7, nn. 5, 12.\n\n R. H. Fogle, for instance, in his introduction to Baker's _The Sacred River_ , describes C as offering 'a rallying-cry' and a 'trumpet call' to 'our famous New Critics' (p. xii). But C has a wonderfully complex relation to these critics, who agreed with many of his statements about the character of an artwork, but who understood the mode of relation between art and values in different terms. One alternative, then, is to argue that C's criticism and his philosophy are incompatible (and, often, that his philosophy is a shabby, incoherent, inconsequent quilt of plagiarisms). The strongest of such arguments are by Ren\u00e9 Wellek (see above, Ch. 5, n. 2); for specific application to _BL_ , see Appleyard, _C's Philosophy of Literature_ , esp. p. 252. New Critics and Neo-Humanists alike none the less criticized C's work. Clarence D. Thorpe summarizes such criticism, and defends C in 'C as aesthetician and critic', _Journal of the History of Ideas_ , vol. 5 (1944), pp. 387\u2013414. For a lengthy and quite polemical account of C's relation to New Criticism, see Manfred Wojcik, 'The mimetic orientation of C's aesthetic thought', _Zeitschrift f\u00fcr Anglistik und Amerikanistic_ , vol. 17 (1969), pp. 344\u201391. Wojcik develops his point in three subsequent numbers of the same journal, writing what ought to have been a book on the topic. See also 'C and the problem of transcendentalism', ibid., vol. 18 (1970), pp. 30\u201358; 'C: symbol, organic unity, and modern aesthetic subjectivism', ibid., vol. 18 (1970), pp. 355\u201390; and 'C: symbolization, expression, and artistic creativity', ibid., vol. 19 (1971), pp. 117\u201354. On the difference between C's concept of organic form and the New Critical account, see R. S. Crane, The critical monism of Cleanth Brooks', _Critics and Criticism_ , ed. R. S. Crane (Chicago, Ill.: University of Chicago Press, 1952), pp. 82\u2013107.\n\n See, for instance, Walter Jackson Bate, 'C on the function of art', _Perspectives of Criticism_ , ed. Harry Levin (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1950), pp. 129\u201359, and his _Coleridge_ , pp. 146\u201357; R. H. Fogle, _The Idea of C's Criticism_. M. H. Abrams deftly summarizes this approach in _The Mirror and the Lamp_ , pp. 118\u201319.\n\n See above, Ch. 6, n. 4. The error here, I suspect, is excessively assimilating C's view of art to that of the German transcendental idealists, esp. Schelling. Roy Park sharply and properly distinguishes C from his German forebears and contemporaries, and concludes that the secondary imagination is not free but subordinated to the moral vision of reason. See above, Ch. 5, n. 27. See also below, pp. 100\u2013102, on C's distinction between the immediate and the ultimate purposes of art.\n\n There is a considerable body of critical commentary attempting to reconcile C's philosophy with his criticism, much of it focused on the relation between imagination's role in cognition and its role in art. One error is particularly common: some claim that primary imagination provides access not to the day-to-day world but, rather, to a reality already translucent with value. Those who define primary imagination in this way then define secondary imagination as the specifically artistic power of making poems from the materials thus supplied, through a sort of transcendentalized mimeticism. This is the wrong route to a crucial distinction between imaginative vision and artistic production. C locates the distinction not between primary and secondary imagination, but between imaginative power and linguistic control over ideas and poetic forms. The best studies include Abrams, _The Mirror and the Lamp_ ; Baker, _The Sacred River_ , J. Robert Barth, SJ, _The Symbolic Imagination: C and the Romantic Tradition_ (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1977); Stephen Prickett, _Coleridge and Wordsworth: The Poetry of Growth_ (London: Cambridge University Press, 1970); Whalley, _Poetic Process_ , pp. 46\u201363; and see also Ch. 5, n. 27. For an overview of the questions from the perspective of English literary theory, see R. L. Brett, 'Coleridge's theory of imagination', _Essays and Studies_ , n.s., vol. 2 (1949), pp. 75\u201390. For the same overview from the Continental perspective, see Herbert Read, 'C as critic', _Sewanee Review_ , vol. 56 (1948), pp. 597\u2013624; and of course McFarland, _C and the Pantheist Tradition_.\n\n The volume division was the printer's choice, not C's. See below, Chapter 8, n. 11. In this approach I am of course preceded by I. A. Richards. There needs to be much further study of these issues by one well versed in present-day philosophies of language.\n\n On the Lockean tradition in linguistics, see Hans Aarsleff, _The Study of Language in England, 1780\u20131860_ (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1967), pp. 13\u201333; and Stephen K. Land, _From Signs to Propositions: The Concept of Form in Eighteenth Century Semantic Theory_ , Longman Linguistics Library no. 16 (London: Longman, 1974), pp. 1\u201320. On the contrast represented between Locke and Wilkins, see Murray Cohen, _Sensible Words: Linguistic Practice in England, 1640\u20131785_ (Baltimore, Md.: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1977), pp. 1\u201342. On the tradition in which C participates, see Ernst Cassirer, _The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms_ , trans. Ralph Mannheim (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 1953), Vol. I, _Language_ , pp. 117\u201376, esp. re Heraclitus (pp. 119\u201322), Plato (pp. 124\u20136), Berkeley (pp. 138\u20139), Herder (pp. 151\u20133) and von Humboldt (pp. 155\u201363). For Cassirer's delineation of the position underlying this history, see pp. 85\u201393. Cassirer would call C's work an attempt to define a 'metaphysical-speculative solution' that seeks 'to understand how the concrete totality of particular forms develops from a single original principle' (p. 95). C would respond that a 'critical solution' like Cassirer's is 'a cycle of equal truths without a common and central principle, which prescribes to each its proper sphere' (I, 181). It is no more likely, he would say, than the string of blind men walking a straight line without a sighted leader.\n\n _Hermes; or a Philosophical Inquiry concerning Universal Grammar_ (1751; rev. ed. London: W. Simprin & R. Marshall, 1816), pp. 113, 119\u201321; see also pp. 123\u201331.\n\n Cited by Alice D. Snyder, _C on Logic and Learning_ (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 1929), p. 79, 86.\n\n ibid., p. 128.\n\n See above, Ch. 1, pp. 9\u201311.\n\n See above, Ch. 3, pp. 63\u201374.\n\n See also the 'Essays on Method' in _The Friend_. Method and language are both essentially relational; method itself is concerned both with inquiry and with discourse. See also above, Ch. 6, n. 1.\n\n The relation between language and mathematics had been variously explored both by philosophers and by those eager to make language a more precise tool. See, for instance, David Hartley, _Observations on Man: His Frame, His Duty and His Expectations_ (1749; facsimile reprint in 1 vol., Gainesville, Fla: Scholar's Facsimiles and Reprints, 1966), I, 280\u20131. See also Land, _From Signs to Propositions_ , pp. 128\u201354.\n\n On C's etymologies and his relation to scientific linguistics, see James Holly Hanford, 'C as a philologian', _Modern Philology_ , vol. 16 (1918\u201319), pp. 615\u201336; Joshua H. Neumann, 'C on the English language', _PMLA_ , vol. 63 (1948), pp. 642\u201361; L. A. Willoughby, 'C as a philologist', _Modern Language Review_ , vol. 31 (1936), pp. 176\u2013201.\n\n On C's blending of moral and literary concerns, see Peter Hoheisel, 'C on Shakespeare: method amid the rhetoric', _Studies in Romanticism_ , vol. 13 (1974), pp. 15\u201323.\n\n On C's account of their aims, see Mark L. Reed, 'Wordsworth, C, and the 'plan' of the _Lyrical Ballads_ ', _University of Toronto Quarterly_ vol. 34 (1965), pp. 238\u201353.\n\n On light as a central symbol of imagination for both poets, see Stephen Prickett, _Coleridge and Wordsworth: The Poetry of Growth_.\n\n On how C's idea of this reflexivity differs from more recent versions, see R. S. Crane, 'The critical monism of Cleanth Brooks', in _Critics and Criticism_ , ed. R. S. Crane, pp. 82\u2013107. See also James Benziger, 'Organic unity: Leibnitz to C', _PMLA_ , vol. 46, no. 2 (1951), pp. 24\u201348.\n\n See also his study of _Romeo and Juliet, COS_ , 75\u201397.\n\n For defenses of Wordsworth, see below, Ch. 7, nn. 5, 12, 13, 20; Ch. 8, nn. 7, 8.\n\n Cited in translation supplied by Watson in the Everyman's Library edition, pp. 182\u20133, nn. 1\u20133.\n\n## **Chapter 7**\n\n Abrams, 'Wordsworth and C on diction and figures', pp. 171\u2013201. See also above, Ch. 6, n. 3.\n\n On C's role in the Preface, see _CL_ , II, 811\u201312, 829\u201330, and Max F. Schulz, 'C, Wordsworth, and the 1800 \"Preface\" to _Lyrical Ballads_ ', _Studies in English Literature 1500\u20131900_ , vol. 5 (1965), pp. 619\u201339. On the relation between Wordsworth and C generally, see Earl Leslie Griggs, 'Wordsworth through C's eyes', in _Wordsworth: Centenary Studies Presented at Cornell and Princeton Universities_, ed. Gilbert T. Dunklin (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1951), pp. 45\u201390; Thomas McFarland, 'The symbiosis of C and Wordsworth', _Studies in Romanticism_ vol. 11 (1972), pp. 263\u2013303; Prickett, _Coleridge and Wordsworth: The Poetry of Growth_. On the relation between C's criticism of the Preface and that in the magazines, see John O. Hayden, 'C, the reviewers, and Wordsworth', _Studies in Philology_ , vol. 68 (1971), pp. 105\u201319. Those who defend Wordsworth from C's criticism are cited in notes below (5, 12, 13, 20); for a defense of C's position, see T. M. Raysor, 'C's criticism of Wordsworth, _PMLA_ , vol. 54 (1939), pp. 496\u2013510.\n\n W. K. Wimsatt and Cleanth Brooks, _Literary Criticism: A Short History_ (New York: Alfred A.

As Wellek observes, Wordsworth's later qualifications of the intent to imitate the real language of men 'surely leaves all the leeway anybody could demand' ( _A History of Modern Criticism_ , Vol. II, p. 134).\n\n _Pr. Wk W._ , I, 134. The italicized statement in the _Biographia_ is a compound of two of Wordsworth's sentences.\n\n ibid., I, 164.\n\n ibid., I, 137\u201343, esp. I, 138.\n\n Wimsatt and Brooks, _Literary Criticism_ , p. 343.\n\n See Nathaniel Teich, 'C's _Biographia_ and the contemporary controversy about style', _The Wordsworth Circle_ , vol. 3 (1972), pp. 61\u201370.\n\n On grammar and logic, see my Ch. 6, n. 1.\n\n For a defense of Wordsworth's objectivity, see Gene W. Ruoff, 'Wordsworth on language: toward a radical poetics for English Romanticism', _The Wordsworth Circle_ , vol. 3 (1972), pp. 204\u201311; for a defense of Wordsworth's essential subjectivity, see Frederick A. Pottle, 'The eye and the object in the poetry of Wordsworth', in Dunklin (ed.), _Wordsworth: Centenary Studies_ , pp. 23\u201343; for an argument that the real issue is the propriety of dramatic monologues, see Stephen Maxfield Parrish, 'The Wordsworth-C controversy', _PMLA_ , vol. 73 (1958), pp. 367\u201374.\n\n For a defense of 'The Thorn', see ibid.\n\n _Pr. WK W._ , I, 124. See also Ch. 7, n. 5, and Ch. 6, pp. 95\u20136.\n\n I have argued elsewhere that poems most fully meet the criteria for methodical discourse. See Ch. 6, n. 1.\n\n Richards, _C on Imagination_ , ch. 4. On the poetic function of fancy, see Baker, _The Sacred River_.\n\n This passage echoes the opening paragraphs of the 'Essays on Method' ( _F_ , I, 448\u20139). The 'Essays on Method' argue even more clearly than the opening chapters of _BL_ that genuine education does and ought to foster the development of imagination. On method, see Paul Alkon, 'Critical and logical concepts of method from Addison to C', _Eighteenth Century Studies_ , vol. 5 (1971), pp. 97\u2013121.\n\n See Abrams, _The Mirror and the Lamp_ , pp. 100\u201324; and above, Ch. 6, n. 3.\n\n _Pr. Wk W._ , I, 144\u20138. For discussion of this same disagreement from Wordsworth's perspective, see Stephen Maxfield Parrish, 'Wordsworth and C on metre', _Journal of English and Germanic Philology_ , vol. 59 (1960), pp. 41\u20139.\n\n John Crowe Ransom, 'William Wordsworth: notes toward an understanding of his poetry', in Dunklin (ed.), _Wordsworth: Centenary Studies_ , pp. 91\u2013113.\n\n Wordsworth, of course, did not contend that they were twins. See _Pr. Wk W._ , I, 134.\n\n## **Chapter 8**\n\n John Livingston Lowes, _The Road to Xanadu: A Study in the Ways of the Imagination_ (Boston, Mass.: Houghton-Mifflin, 1927), p. 49. See also above, Ch. 7, n. 16.\n\n For an account of this urging, see David Erdman and Paul Zall, 'C and Jeffrey in controversy', _Studies in Romanticism_ , vol. 14 (1975), pp. 75\u201383.\n\n _CL_ , V, 95. See also Park, 'C's two voices as a critic of Wordsworth', _ELH_ , vol. 36 (1969), pp. 361\u201381.\n\n See I, 87: by concentering the attention, will can render any objects 'associable'. Because this function is not bound by the literal contemporaneity of the original impressions, the genius's immediate impressions _and his memories_ can be accommodated to imagination's ends. See also above, Ch. 3, pp. 46\u20139.\n\n II, 106\u20137; see also II, 33\u20134 and n; II, 101\u20132; and George Whalley, 'The Aristotle-C axis', _University of Toronto Quarterly_ , vol. 42 (1973), pp. 93\u2013109.\n\n On dramatic monologues and dialogues, see Parrish, 'The Wordsworth-C controversy.\n\n Among the most astute defenses of the 'Intimations' ode are those by Richards and Ransom. See _C on Imagination_ , pp. 130\u20137; and above, Ch. 7, n. 20.\n\n At least parts of this treatise are present in _Aids to Reflection_ (see Ch. 6, n. 1). I suspect that C's interests in language substantially merged with his interests in Biblical hermaneutics and the Higher Criticism. See below, ch. 9, n. 2.\n\n Cited in translation supplied by Watson in the Everyman's Library edition, p. 268 n.\n\n For an account of C's problems with the printer, see Grigg's introduction, _CL_ , III, xlvii\u2013lii, and his notes to some of the relevant letters, _CL_ , IV, 657\u2013660 nn.\n\n See above, Ch. 3, and _LS_ , 137; _AR_ , 246 and n.\n\n## **Chapter 9**\n\n McFarland, _C and the Pantheist Tradition_ , p. xxvi.\n\n For an account of C's place in Biblical hermaneutics and the Higher Criticism, see Elinor S. Shaffer, _'Kubla Khan' and the Fall of Jerusalem: The Mythological School in Biblical Criticism and Secular Literature, 1770\u20131880_ (London: Cambridge University Press, 1975).\n\n Boulger, _C as Religious Thinker_ , pp. 5\u20138.\n\n Note that arguments to and about political leaders are barely evident in the principal summary of his argument ( _LS_ , 43\u20139).\n\n Peter Hoheisel, 'C on Shakespeare: method amid the rhetoric'.\n\n# **Index**\n\nAbrams, M.

Emily, let go of his hair. Don't make me stop this car!\"\n\nHer daughter's face swung into the rearview mirror, outraged as only a six-year-old could be. \"Mom, he started it!\"\n\n\"I don't care who started it. If you don't be quiet right now, things will happen!\"\n\n\"What things?\" Melissa whined. Megan, her twin, stuck her tongue out.\n\nKarina furrowed her eyebrows, trying to look mean in the rearview mirror. \"Horrible things.\"\n\nThe four children quieted in the back of the van, trying to figure out what \"horrible things\" meant. The quiet wouldn't last. Karina drove on. The next time Jill called to ask her if she would chaperone a gaggle of first graders for a school field trip, she would claim to have the bubonic plague instead.\n\nThe trip itself wasn't that awful. The sun shone bright, and the drive down to the old-timey village, forty-five minutes from Chikasha, was downright pleasant. Nothing but clear sky and flat Oklahoma fields with an occasional thin line of forest between them to break the wind. But now, after a day of hayrides and watching butter being churned and iron nails being hammered, the kids were tired and cranky. They'd been on the road for twenty minutes and the lot of them had already engaged in a World War III\u2013scale conflict three times. She imagined the other parents hadn't fared any better. As the six cars made their way up the rural road, Karina could almost hear the whining emanating from the vehicles ahead of her.\n\nThey should have just gotten a school bus. But Jill had panicked half of the parents over the bus not having seat belts. In retrospect, the whole thing seemed silly. Thousands of children rode school buses every day with no problems, seat belts or not. Unfortunately, creating panic was one of her best friend's talents. Jill meant well, but her life was a string of self-created emergencies, which she then cheerfully overcame. Usually Karina pulled her off the edge of the cliff, but with Emily involved, it was hard to maintain perspective.\n\nThis pointless worry really had to stop. Emily wasn't made of glass. Eventually Karina would have to let her go on a trip or to a sleepover without her mommy. The thought made Karina squirm. After Jonathan died, she'd taken Emily to a grief counselor, who offered to work with her as well. Karina had turned it down. She'd already been through it, when her parents passed away, and it hadn't made things any easier.\n\nHer cell beeped. Karina pushed the button on her hands-free set. \"Yes?\"\n\n\"How are you holding up?\" Jill's voice chirped.\n\n\"Fantastic.\" Would be even better if she didn't have to talk on the phone while driving. \"You?\"\n\n\"I need to go potty!\" Jacob announced from the back.\n\n\"Robert called Savannah a B word. Other than that we're good,\" Jill reported.\n\n\"I really need to go. Or I'll poop in my pants. And then there'll be a big stain . . .\"\n\n\"Listen, Jacob needs to go potty.\" She caught sight of a dark blue sign rising above the trees. \"I'm going to pull over at the motel ahead of you.\"\n\n\"What motel?\"\n\n\"The one on the right. With the big blue sign, says Motel Sunrise?\"\n\n\"Where?\" Jill's voice came through tinted with static. \"I don't see it.\"\n\n\"I don't see a motel,\" Megan reported.\n\n\"Look at the blue sign.\" Emily pointed at the window.\n\n\"Well, I don't see it,\" Jacob declared.\n\n\"That's because you're a doofus,\" Emily said.\n\n\"You suck!\"\n\n\"Quiet!\" Karina barked.\n\nThe exit rolled up on her right. Karina angled the car into it. \"I'm taking this exit,\" she said to the cell phone. \"I'll catch up with you in a minute.\"\n\n\"What exit? Karina, where are you? You were right there and now you're gone. I don't see you in my rearview mirror . . .\"\n\n\"That's because I took the exit.\"\n\n\"What exit?\"\n\nOh, for the love of God. \"I'll talk to you later.\"\n\nThe paved road brought them to a two-story building covered with dark gray stucco. Only one car, an old Jeep, sat in the parking lot.\n\nKarina pulled up before the entrance and hesitated. The building, a crude box with small narrow windows, looked like some sort of institutional structure, an office, or even a prison. It certainly didn't look inviting.\n\n\"Now I see it,\" Megan said.\n\nKarina shook her head. You'd think if you owned a motel, you'd want to make it seem hospitable. Plant some flowers, maybe choose a nice color for the walls, something other than battleship gray. It only made good business sense. As it was, the place radiated a grim, almost menacing air. She had a strong urge to just keep on driving.\n\n\"I have to go!\" Jacob announced and farted.\n\nKarina jumped out of the van and slid the door open. \"Out.\"\n\nFifteen seconds later, she herded them inside a small lobby. The lone woman standing behind the counter turned her head at their approach. She was skeletally thin, with long red hair dripping down past her shoulders. Karina glanced at her face and almost marched back out. The woman had eyes like a rattlesnake, no compassion, no kindness, no anger. Nothing at all.\n\n\"I'm sorry,\" Karina said. \"Could we please use your facilities? The little boy needs to go to the bathroom.\"\n\nThe woman nodded to the archway on Karina's right. Charming. That's okay. They just needed to get in and get out. \"Thank you! Come on, kids.\"\n\nThe archway opened into a long hallway. On the left, several doors punctuated the wall, one marked \"Bathroom\" and another, at the very end, marked \"Stairs.\" On the right an older man stood in the middle of the hallway. Heavily muscled, with a face like a bulldog, he'd planted himself as if he were about to be overrun by rioters. His eyes watched her with open malice. The kids sensed it, too, and clustered around her. Karina didn't blame them.\n\n\"Hi!\"\n\nThe man said nothing.\n\nOkay. She marched to the bathroom and swung the door open. A single-person bathroom, relatively clean. No scary strangers hiding anywhere. \"In you go.\" She ushered Jacob inside and stood guard by the door.\n\nMinutes ticked off, long and viscous. The man hadn't moved. The children kept quiet under his scrutiny, like tiny rabbits sensing a predator.\n\nKarina knocked on the door gently. \"Come on, Jacob. Let the other kids have a turn.\"\n\n\"Almost done.\"\n\nKarina waited. The man kept staring at her. Gradually his face took on a new expression. Instead of staring her down, he was now studying her as if she were some bizarre alien life-form. That was even more disturbing. Karina fought a shiver.\n\n\"Jacob, we need to go.\"\n\nShe heard the toilet flush. Finally.\n\nJacob emerged from the bathroom. \"I washed my hands with soap,\" he informed her. \"Do you want to smell them?\"\n\n\"No. Does anybody else need to go?\"\n\nThey shook their heads. Emily hugged her leg. \"I want to go home, Mom.\"\n\n\"Excellent idea.\" Karina led them down the hallway.\n\nThe man moved to block their way. \"Thank you for letting us use the bathroom,\" Karina said. \"We'll be on our way now.\"\n\nThe man leaned forward. His nostrils fluttered. He sucked in the air through his nose and his face split in a grin. He didn't smile; he showed her his teeth: abnormally large and sharp, triangular like shark teeth, and definitely not human.\n\nIce skittered down Karina's spine.\n\nThe man took a step forward. \"You ssshmell like a donor.\" His teeth took up so much space in his mouth, he slurred the words.\n\nKarina backed away, holding her hands out to shield the kids behind her. She wished she had a can of mace or a gun\u2014some weapon in her purse other than Kleenex, her pocketbook, and a cell phone with a dead battery.\n\n\"Let us out!\"\n\nThe man advanced. \"Rishe! The woman ishh a donor.\"\n\n\"We'll be leaving now!\" Karina put some steel into her voice. Sometimes if you looked like you were ready to fight, people backed down and looked for an easier target.\n\nThe man bared his teeth again and she glimpsed what looked like a second row of fangs behind the first in his mouth. \"No, you won't,\" he said.\n\nTime for emergency measures. \"Help!\" Karina screamed at the top of her lungs. \"Help!\"\n\n\"No help,\" he assured her.\n\nThe kids began to cry.\n\n_Maybe this is a nightmare,_ flashed in her head. Maybe she was dreaming.\n\n\"Mom?\" Emily clutched at her jeans.\n\nDream or not, Karina couldn't let him get a hold of her or the kids. She kept backing away to the door behind her, the one labeled \"Stairs.\"\n\n\"Let us go!\"\n\nHe kept coming. \"Rishe! Where are you?\"\n\nThe wall on their right exploded.\n\nSplintered pieces of wood peppered the hallway, knocking the shark-toothed man back and missing Karina by mere inches. Stunned, she glanced into the gap in the wall. The redheaded woman\u2014Rishe?\u2014jumped over the counter and ran directly at Karina and the children, her face twisted into a grotesque mask. The skin on Rishe's neck bulged, rolling up, as if a tennis ball slid up her throat into her mouth.\n\n_This is just crazy . . ._\n\nThe woman spat.\n\nSomething dark flickered through the air. Pain stung Karina's left side. A long thin needle, like the quill of a porcupine, sprouted from her stomach, just under the ribs. She yanked it out on pure instinct. She should've been terrified, but there was no time . . .\n\nSomething hit the red-haired woman from behind, arresting her in midstep. Rishe's mouth gaped in a terrified silent scream. Huge claws grasped her face, jerked, and her head twisted completely around.\n\n_Oh, my God._\n\nRishe's body fell, and beyond it Karina glimpsed a _thing_. Huge, dark, inhuman, it stared back at her with malevolent eyes. Its very existence was so at odds with everything Karina knew, that her mind simply refused to believe it was real.\n\nAn odd odor saturated the air, dry and slightly metallic, like copper warmed by the sun. The thing stepped over the woman, its gaze fixed on her.\n\n\"Run!\" Karina turned on her heel and dashed down the hallway, herding the children before her.\n\nThe man with shark teeth rose slowly, pulled a wooden splinter out of his eye, tossed it aside, and, with a deep bellow, charged into the lobby through the hole in the wall.\n\nA snarl answered him, a promise of pain and death. It whipped Karina into a frenzy. She swiped Jacob off the floor\u2014he was the smallest\u2014and ran faster to the heavy door barring the stairs. She jerked it open. \"Up the stairs, go, go!\"\n\nThey ran up, whimpering and sobbing. The same fear that drove her propelled them up the stairs better than anything she could've screamed.\n\nKarina slammed the door closed, balancing Jacob on one arm, and looked for something to bar it, but the stairway was empty. Her stomach burned, the pain from the needle puncture spreading up and down her body as if her skin had caught on fire. She ran after the kids. The boy in her arms was stone heavy. They reached the top of the staircase and crowded on the landing.\n\nBelow something clanged. There it was again, the scent of hot metal burning her lungs.\n\nKarina set Jacob down and wrenched the door open. They burst into the upstairs hallway. She scanned the rows of doors and tried to shove the nearest one open, but it was locked.\n\nAnother\u2014locked, too.\n\nThird\u2014locked.\n\n_This is a nightmare. It has to be a nightmare._\n\nA vicious snarl chased them. Emily screamed, a high-pitched shriek that could've broken glass. Karina grabbed her daughter by the hand and dragged her down the hall, to the single window. \"Follow me!\"\n\nBeyond the window a fire escape waited.\n\nKarina grasped the window latch and jerked it up. Stuck.\n\nHer head swam. The air around her had grown scalding hot. Every breath burned her lungs from the inside out. She stumbled, caught herself on the windowsill, and pulled the sash upward with all her strength. The wood groaned and suddenly the frame slid up.\n\nA door thumped. Kids screamed. The terrible dark beast had made it into the hallway.\n\nShe grabbed the nearest child and hurled her onto the fire escape, then the next, and the next. Little feet thudded, running down the metal stairs. Emily was last. Karina clutched her daughter to her and climbed out on the fire escape.\n\nA black van waited below. Several men stood by the van. They had the children. They stood there silently, watching her, so calm while the kids screamed, and suddenly she realized that they and the beast inside were allies. They were trapped.\n\nA growl washed over her.\n\nThe world gained crystal clarity, everything becoming painfully vivid and sharp. Slowly Karina turned. Her daughter hugged her, her breath a tiny warm cloud on her neck. The metal rail of the fire escape dug into Karina's back. The thudding of her heart sounded so loud, each beat shook her rib cage like a blow from a sledgehammer. Every breath was a gift.\n\nShe saw the thing emerge from the darkness. Slowly, it solidified out of the gloom, one gargantuan paw on the windowsill, then another. Enormous claws scratched the wood. It climbed onto the windowsill and perched there, a mere foot from her. Karina stared into its eyes, inhaled its scent, and knew with absolute certainty that she was going to die.\n\nThe thing opened its maw, revealing huge fangs. Its deep voice issued forth in a single mangled word. \"Donor.\"\n\n\"Are you sure?\" asked a male voice from below.\n\nThe beast snarled. Karina jerked back, shielding Emily with her hands. Her legs gave out and she fell to her knees.\n\n\"My lady?\" said the voice from below, closer now.\n\nShe barely turned her head, not daring to take her gaze from the monster in the window. A dark-haired man climbed the fire escape toward her. His face was preternaturally beautiful, his eyes a dark, intense blue. \"I have a proposition for you, my lady . . .\"\n\nHis voice faded, replaced by darkness and the feel of cotton against her body.\n\n_I agree._\n\nKarina sat up . . . She was in her bed. The room lay dark about her. A nightmare. That was all.\n\nHer heart thudded in her chest. She rubbed her face and her hands came away slick with cold moisture.\n\n_I agree. \"I agree\" to what?_ What did she agree to in her dream?\n\nIt didn't matter. It was a nightmare. In the morning, she'd call the grief counselor.\n\nKarina frowned and pushed free of the blankets. She felt a strange sense of wrongness, as if there was something very important she was missing. Something vital. A small lamp waited on the table next to the bed. She flicked it on and a cone of soft electric light illuminated the room.\n\nThe bedroom wasn't hers.\n\n* * *\n\nFor a moment Karina froze, and then fear caught her in its fist and squeezed. \"Emily?\" she whispered. \"Emily?\"\n\nNo answer.\n\nShe was alone in a strange bedroom.\n\nThere could be a rational explanation for this. There had to be. She just didn't know what it was.\n\n_I agree._ An echo of her voice from the dream. She had a terrible suspicion the unfamiliar bedroom and those two words were connected.\n\nHer clothes were gone. She wore only underwear and a giant T-shirt, three sizes too big.\n\nA pair of carefully folded jeans lay on a chair next to the bed. Her jeans, the ones she had worn on the field trip. Karina pulled them on. She had to find Emily.\n\nThe door swung open with ease and she found herself in a hallway. To the left, the hallway ended in a stairway leading up. To her right, a pool of electric light brightened the wooden floor and the rust-colored rug. Quiet voices carried on a soft discussion.\n\nShe followed the voices and stepped into a kitchen, blinking against the light. Three men sat at the round table in the center. They turned to look at her. The one sitting farthest from her wore the unearthly face of the man from her dream. His name surfaced from the depths of her memory. Arthur.\n\n_I agree._\n\nArthur nodded to her. \"Ah. You're up. Why don't you sit down with us? Henry, please get a chair for Lady Karina.\" His soft, intimate voice caressed her almost like a touch. It should've been soothing. Instead her insides clenched into a tight knot.\n\nA tall man with a shy smile rose and held a chair out for her. So oddly domestic, all three drinking tea. Nobody was startled by her appearance. Clearly she was expected.\n\nKarina sat. \"Thank you.\" The automatic response rolled from her lips before she even realized it.\n\n\"You're welcome,\" Arthur said. He leaned back with a quiet elegance, artfully posed without putting any effort into it. His hair was soft, black, and brushed back from his perfectly sculpted face. His eyebrows were equally black and so were his eyelashes, long and soft like velvet. They framed big eyes, crystalline blue, distant, and cold. Angelic, she thought. He looked like an angel, not a plump cherub, but an angel who roamed freely in the sky, possessed of heart-wrenching beauty and terrible power, an angel who had stared into the bottomless blue for so long that his eyes had absorbed its color.\n\n\"Would you like some tea?\" Arthur asked.\n\n\"Children . . . ?\"\n\n\"Safe,\" he said and she believed the sincerity of his words even though she had no reason to do so.\n\nArthur rose, took a small blue mug from the shelf behind him, and poured steaming tea into it from a large kettle on the stove. He set the cup in front of her. \"Please drink. It will steady your nerves.\"\n\nKarina looked at the cup.\n\nHe drank from his own cup and smiled in encouragement.\n\nShe picked up the cup and took a sip. Green tea. Odd taste, slightly sour.\n\nMaybe she was still dreaming. The whole scene had that slightly absurd wrongness found only in dreams.\n\nKarina looked about the table. The man who had offered her the chair, Henry, sat to her right. He was tall and whipcord lean. His face, serious with somber intelligence, lacked Arthur's magnetism, but its sharp angles drew her all the same. His tawny hair was cut close to the scalp, but still showed a trace of a curl. His green eyes regarded her and she read pity in their depths.\n\nThe man on her left was model pretty. Strong masculine jaw, deep, dark blue eyes, high cheekbones, a mane of golden wavy hair dripping down to below his waist, hiding half of his face . . . His eyes flashed with wild humor. He gave her a wink, grinned, exposing even white teeth, and tossed his hair back. An ugly scar ripped his left cheek, almost as if something had taken a bite out of him and his flesh hadn't healed right. She fought an urge to look away. He reached for her hand . . .\n\n\"Daniel.\" Arthur's voice gained a slight edge. \"That's extremely unwise.\"\n\nDaniel sat back.\n\n\"Just because she didn't scream when she saw your face doesn't mean you get to touch.\" Henry refilled his cup.\n\n\"Please forgive Daniel. He doesn't mean to be rude. He's just forbidden to speak for the time being. Your tea is getting cold,\" Arthur said.\n\n\"He tends to cause problems when he speaks,\" Henry said.\n\nDaniel gave her a smoldering smile.\n\nShe faced Arthur. \"What did I agree to?\"\n\nArthur sighed. \"I see.\"\n\nHenry leaned forward. \"Perhaps we should mend this.\"\n\n\"Yes. The sooner, the better. Lucas might return and that would make things considerably more complicated.\"\n\nDaniel laughed softly. If wolves could laugh, they would sound just like him.\n\nHenry held out his hand. \"It's easier if you hold on to me.\"\n\nKarina hesitated.\n\n\"You do want to remember, don't you?\" Arthur asked.\n\nShe put her hand into Henry's. His long warm fingers closed about hers. The world tore in two and she was back on the landing of the fire escape at the not-motel, cradling Emily. Her whole body burned with a terrible ache.\n\nArthur leaned his head to the side, looked at them for a moment, and plucked Emily from her arms.\n\n\"No!\" Karina struggled to hold on, but her hands had lost all strength.\n\nEmily didn't kick. Didn't scream. Her face was completely blank, as if she had turned into a doll. Arthur turned and handed her to someone behind him on the stairs.\n\n\"Emily!\" Karina tried to crawl after her but her body refused to obey.\n\nArthur touched the hem of her black top and edged it upward. His fingers touched her stomach. Pain pierced her and she cried out.\n\n\"Ah. Now see, this isn't good.\" Arthur shook his head mournfully. \"All of this must seem terribly confusing to you and our time is short, so I will keep the explanations simple. This is the house where monsters live. We are the killers of monsters. I suppose that also makes us monsters simply by necessity. I don't know why you're here. It's probably a pure coincidence. An unlucky roll of the dice. You and your children were caught in the cross fire. One of the monsters poisoned you with her throat dart. The wound is fatal. You're dying.\"\n\nFear shot down Karina's spine in an icy rush. She didn't think she could have gotten more scared, but his tone, that patient, pleasant, even tone, as if he were discussing lunch, terrified her. _It's not a dream,_ she realized. _It's happening. It's happening to me right now. God, please let Emily be okay. Please. I'll do anything._\n\n\"I can smell your fear,\" Arthur said. \"It rolls off your skin. A better man would feel discomfort at your pain. But I'm not a good man. I feel nothing for you. We rarely have to deal with innocent bystanders and when we do, we strive to send them back unharmed, not out of some altruistic impulse, but because we dislike attention. If you hadn't been injured, Henry here would wipe your memory and the five of you would go merrily on your way. As it is, however, you will be dead in the next thirty minutes.\"\n\nThe words refused to leave her mouth. Karina strained and forced them out. \"Why are you telling me this?\"\n\nHis ice-cold smile made her heart jump. \"I'm talking to you because I'm about to offer you a deal. You have something we want, my lady. Your body has a genetic predisposition toward producing certain hormones one of us desperately needs. Your subspecies isn't unique, but it's rare enough to make you valuable. I suspect that's also how you were able to find this place, and that's why the yadovita, the redheaded woman, took the time to poison you instead of defending herself from us. Listen carefully, my lady, because I won't repeat myself.\"\n\nShe stared at him, committing each word to memory.\n\n\"The creature behind you requires your blood. He will feed on you. His venom will counteract the poison that's killing your body. In return, he will consume the chemicals your body will produce. You will give yourself to the House of Daryon. You will let the beast feed on you. You will live in quarters of our choosing. You can never leave. You can have no contact with the outside world. For your agreement to this, we will spare your life and the lives of the children.\"\n\nThe thing on the windowsill let out a low whine of anticipation. That . . . that beast would feed on her. _Forever_. _Oh, dear God. I can't do it . . . I can't . . ._\n\nArthur leaned forward, his face showing no emotion beyond the pleasant, calm composure. \"Consider carefully before you answer. I don't offer this deal to you because I like you or because I'm moved by some noble emotion. I do it because we need you. What I propose won't be pleasant for you. You won't enjoy it. In fact, many would say you're better off dying now.\"\n\nFog gathered on the edge of her mind, threatening to smother her. Karina clawed at reality, trying to remain conscious.\n\n\"My daughter . . .\"\n\nThe beast growled on the windowsill.\n\n\"He guarantees her safety,\" Arthur said.\n\n\"The children . . . will be returned to their families?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"I agree.\"\n\nA gentle hand seized her mind and pulled her back through time and space to the reality of the round table and the hot tea mug in her hand. She looked at Arthur.\n\n\"My daughter, Emily?\"\n\nHe didn't answer.\n\n\"You promised me the children would be returned to their families. Her father is dead. I'm the only family Emily has. Where is she?\"\n\nHe smiled, a flat curving of lips without any emotion. \"She's at the main house for the time being.\"\n\nNo, she wasn't, Karina realized. He was lying. \"I want my daughter. We made a deal. Bring me my daughter, or I am leaving.\"\n\nDaniel rocked back on his chair and laughed. A door slammed. Footsteps echoed through the house. \"Cooperate with Lucas and your daughter will be brought to you,\" Arthur said.\n\nA man walked into the kitchen. Tall, corded with muscle that bulged his T-shirt, he dwarfed the doorway. He wasn't just large, he was massive and wrapped in menace, as if he were a whirlwind of violence, barely contained in the shell of his body. Black hair fell on his hard, aggressive face in long strands. He glanced at her, his eyes green and merciless. She met his gaze and gulped. It was like looking into the eyes of a tiger. His stare promised death.\n\nRecognition sparked in his green irises and flared into rage.\n\nHe lunged forward, inhumanly quick, and hit the table with his palm. She jerked back.\n\n\"Get your hands off of her!\" His voice rippled with a snarl.\n\nHenry raised his hands in the air. The man grasped the chair, Henry still on it, and tossed it aside. Steely fingers grabbed her elbow and pulled her up. He swiped her off the floor with ridiculous ease, locking her in the crook of his arm, and snapped like a rabid dog, \"Mine!\"\n\n\"We have no intention of taking her from you.\" Arthur sipped his tea.\n\n\"Don't any of you fuckers touch her!\"\n\nShe flailed in his arms, trying to break free, but it was like trying to push back a semi.\n\n\"You must forgive Lucas,\" Arthur told her. \"He tends to be overprotective of his food.\"\n\nA familiar scent of heated metal invaded her nostrils. Panic squirmed through her. She fought harder, but her feet kicked only air. He carried her away out of the kitchen back to the bedroom where she had awakened.\n\n# **CHAPTER 2**\n\nLucas dropped her on the bed and went to lock the door. \"Stay away from Arthur. He's a sick fuck.\"\n\nHe turned and strode toward her, enormous, overwhelming in his sheer size. Karina shrank back until her spine hit the wall.\n\nHe looked her over, a long, lingering stare that made her want to cover herself, frowned and ducked into a doorway on the left. Water gushed. Lucas reappeared with a tall glass of water and handed it to her. \"Drink this. It will help.\"\n\nShe drank.\n\nHe sat on a chair across from her and pulled off his socks. Only now she noticed that he wasn't wearing any shoes. He balled the socks into a clump and tossed them into the room where he'd gotten the water, then shrugged off his T-shirt. Karina's breath caught in her throat. Faded ragged scars crisscrossed his massive back. His legs were long, his waist narrow in comparison to his vast shoulders. His lines were almost perfect. As he squared his shoulders, muscles rolled under his skin, forming hard ridges. He didn't move\u2014he stalked and prowled, like a huge predatory animal, menace cascading from him in waves along with his hot metallic scent.\n\nHer memory thrust Jonathan before her. Her husband had been handsome and well built, an average-sized man. Lucas could've snapped him in half and wouldn't have given it a second thought. He'd just toss the broken body aside and continue on his way. She had no chance. In a physical fight, Lucas would destroy her.\n\n\"Drink,\" he said.\n\nKarina forced some more water down. Her throat had gone dry and she drank again. Suddenly Lucas gathered himself. His gaze fixed on the door. His body tensed, his expression alert. His feet gripped the bare floorboards, his legs bent lightly, as he readied to launch himself into a leap. Muscles bunched and knotted across his shoulders and back. His arms lifted slightly, spread wide, the fingers of his big hands like talons, ready to grasp and crush. His eyes ignited with a hot, hungry fire. Poised like this, he was barely human.\n\nSomeone's knuckles rapped on the door.\n\n\"What?\" Lucas growled.\n\n\"Do you want the sedative?\" Henry's voice asked.\n\nLucas glanced at her and asked quietly, \"Do you want to be drugged?\"\n\n\"No.\"\n\n\"She said no,\" he snarled.\n\nThe footsteps retreated. Lucas eased, relaxing slowly, muscle by muscle. He glanced at her with his light green eyes and she shrank from his gaze.\n\n\"How much did they tell you?\" he asked.\n\n\"I know what I agreed to.\" She hesitated. \"Are you . . . ?\"\n\n\"I am.\"\n\nShe tried to reconcile the beast and the man, and couldn't. That dark, grotesque creature was huge, twice as big as Lucas. A horrible meld of ape, dog, bear\u2014Karina struggled for a comparison, a point of reference, and could find none. Her memory was fuzzy. She remembered fangs and baleful eyes, and massive shoulders sheathed in dark fur. How was it possible? Her mind refused to admit that thing existed. But her body felt Lucas near and knew the beast was real.\n\nShe had to have an explanation. Anything at all. \"Are you a vampire?\" she asked.\n\n\"No.\"\n\n\"What are you?\"\n\nHe sighed. \"There's no myth or legend or cute explanation. People here call those like me Demons. It's just a name, nothing religious attached to it. You might also hear people call me Subspecies 30. The rest is complicated.\" He took her half-empty glass and went to top it off. \"I don't actually need your blood to sustain me. I require the endocrine hormones your body will secrete in response to my bite.\"\n\n\"For what?\"\n\n\"To counteract the effects of my venom. It hurts me.\"\n\nHe handed her the full glass, rubbed his hand across the back of his neck, and held the palm to her face. The odor of hot metal hit her nostrils and she drew back.\n\n\"That smell means I'm hungry for you.\"\n\nHe was too close. The cup trembled in Karina's fingers. God, she was scared. It took all of her will not to scream and run. \"Will it hurt?\"\n\n\"Yes. It's not like vampire movies, where the vampire bites the woman and she moans softly and comes all over herself. There's no rapture involved. No climax. Just me chewing on you.\"\n\nHe took her by the chin, lifting her face, and peered into her eyes. Karina pulled back. He leaned closer. She tried to scramble away, but he grasped her shoulder, keeping her still. His lips touched her forehead. \"Fever.\" Lucas grimaced. \"Your eyes are still bloodshot.\"\n\nHis presence pressed on her like a physical burden. Karina closed her eyes. She sat there, world shut out, and pretended that everything would be okay even if every instinct assured her it wouldn't. She had to survive and adapt. She had to do whatever was necessary to get her daughter back.\n\nWhen she opened her eyelids, he waited for her with a synthetic cord in his hands. She hadn't heard him move.\n\n\"To keep you still.\" He moved toward her, uncoiling the cord.\n\nNo. Lying there tied up and completely helpless while he drank her blood would be too much. \"That's okay,\" she said quickly. \"I won't change my mind.\"\n\nLucas kept coming.\n\n\"I won't change my mind.\" Desperation put steel into her voice. \"I've agreed to this to save my daughter. They'll let me see her after you feed. I won't run or fight.\"\n\nHe halted.\n\n\"Arthur said I would stay here for as long as I live. That means you have to feed frequently. Might as well start it right.\"\n\nLucas gripped the rope. His biceps bulged. He snapped the rope apart. Karina winced. \"If you're trying to intimidate me, it's too late. I'm already as scared as I'm going to get.\"\n\n\"I'm not trying to scare you.\" He rolled the section of the rope into a tight wad, wrapped the end about it several times, tied it, and dropped it in her lap. \"To bite down. In case it gets too rough.\"\n\nShe picked it up.\n\nLucas sat next to her. \"Arthur isn't in charge of your daughter. I am. I guaranteed her safety. Both of you belong to me.\"\n\nLucas leaned to look into her face. She expected rage, hunger, some violent emotion, but instead she saw only steady calm.\n\n\"I promise you that no matter what happens between you and me, your daughter will be safe. I will never use her against you. Everyone is afraid of me, and she will never be bullied or mistreated.\"\n\nKarina stared at him in surprise.\n\n\"You wanted to start this right,\" he said. \"We can do that. Let's be honest. The bitch in the hotel poisoned you. Technically she infected you with a virus that secretes a toxin into your bloodstream. To counteract the virus, you need my venom. I've already bitten you once but it will take several feedings before you're in the clear.\"\n\n\"You've bitten me?\"\n\n\"Left thigh,\" he said. \"I was in the attack variant at the time, and biting you anywhere else would've caused too much damage.\"\n\nShe grabbed at her leg, trying to feel the wound through the fabric of the jeans.\n\n\"It was a very quick bite,\" he said. \"To keep you from dying. This will be worse.\"\n\nHe was serious. The thought of him feeding on her, chewing on her, was almost too much to contemplate. \"Can we do a blood transfusion instead?\"\n\n\"No. We've tried in the past and failed. There is some sort of relationship between your blood, my venom, and my saliva that we don't understand. I have to feed on you. You need me to survive and I need you to . . .\" He paused. \"To counteract my venom.\"\n\nHe was holding something back, she could feel it.\n\nLucas's eyes held no mercy. \"I'm a predator and my body knows that you're my prey. Your fear is exciting. Try not to be so scared. Don't struggle. The more you flail about and whimper, the more excited I'll get. If you get me excited enough, I'll chew up your veins and end up fucking you in a puddle of blood. I take it you don't want that.\"\n\n\"No.\"\n\n\"Then stay calm.\" He nodded at the cord in her lap. \"You sure you don't want to be tied?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\nLucas stretched out on the bed, took her by the waist, and pulled her down, flush against him. They lay together, her butt pressed against his groin, her back tight against his chest. Like two lovers. Jonathan and she used to lie like this after sex. The perversity of it made her shiver.\n\n\"Lie still.\" His arms pulled her tighter to him. The hard shaft of his erection dug into her butt. She tried to edge away from it.\n\n\"Don't worry. I can't help it, but I won't molest you. Unless you start moaning and rubbing your ass against me.\"\n\nShe stopped moving. The odor of hot copper was overpowering now. Karina cleared her throat. \"I feel light-headed.\"\n\n\"You're breathing in my scent. Your body's reacting. It will speed things up.\"\n\nThat explained the shirt coming off. He wanted no fabric barriers between her and that smell, so it could roll off his skin and take her under. \"Do I need to do anything?\"\n\n\"Just lie there and endure. Your body needs my venom. As I said, I've bitten you already to kill the poison, but you got just enough to keep you alive. This will take some time.\"\n\nShe brushed her hair from her neck, exposing skin. No point in drawing this out.\n\nA low laugh answered her. He spoke into her ear, his breath a warm touch on her skin. \"You ever watch hockey?\"\n\n\"No.\"\n\n\"The Buffalo Sabres had a goalie\u2014Clint Malarchuk. Steve Tuttle, a guy on another team, was trying to score a goal, and as he charged at the crease, a defenseman grabbed him from behind and swung him up. Tuttle's skate caught Malarchuk's neck. A shallow cut, only severed the exterior jugular. Blood sprayed like water from a hose. Covered the whole crease in seconds.\"\n\nFor some reason she couldn't understand, his quiet voice steadied her nerves. \"Did he survive?\"\n\n\"He did. Had the skate cut a bit deeper, he would've been dead in about two minutes.\" He gathered her even tighter against himself. \"The neck nuzzling is fun, but the pressure within the jugular would expel your blood so quickly, it would kill you.\" His finger traced an outline on the vein on her neck, sending electric shivers along her skin. She wished he hadn't done that.\n\n\"If not the neck, then where?\"\n\n\"The arm works well.\"\n\n\"Can you . . . get on with it?\"\n\n\"Not yet. The longer we wait, the less painful it will be for you.\"\n\nHis body was hot against hers, his heat seeping into her. His scent enveloped her completely now. Her head spun.\n\n\"That's it,\" he prompted. \"Go limp. Don't strain.\"\n\n\"I'm scared,\" she told him.\n\n\"I'm sorry.\" The undercurrent of violence that permeated everything he said muted slightly.\n\n\"What will happen after you feed?\"\n\n\"You'll pass out. It's like giving blood except messier. Your body will go into shock from my venom. If you survive, you'll get used to the feedings.\"\n\n\"I might die?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"This just gets better and better.\"\n\n\"Life's a bitch.\"\n\nThe room crawled. \"I'm not dreaming, am I?\"\n\n\"If this is your dream, you're seriously fucked up.\"\n\n\"Who are you . . . all of you?\"\n\n\"You ask too many questions.\"\n\nHe pulled away from her, turned her arm to him, and bit into the soft flesh just above the elbow. Pain lanced through her. Her body tensed in response, but his arms clamped her down and she could barely breathe.\n\nIt hurt. It hurt and hurt, but worse than the pain was the awful sensation of his gnawing teeth and the prickly heat squirming its way up her arm. It spread into her shoulder and fanned out, claiming her body. She wanted to break free, to get away, but Lucas held her tight.\n\n\"Promise me you will make sure my daughter is safe if I die.\"\n\nHe didn't answer.\n\n\"Promise me.\"\n\n\"I promise,\" he said.\n\nKarina let herself sink into the pain. Gradually it eased into a steady ache. Her limbs relaxed. She tried to think of something else, anything else, of Emily, of their safe little apartment, of being far away in a different place. But the reality refused to recede. And so she lay there and waited it out, her entire body humming with a distinct unusual pain, until her dizziness blotted out the world and she slipped under.\n\n* * *\n\nLucas nuzzled her thin neck. Feverish. Not too bad. She was healthy. And clean. The blood work from the main house had shown no abnormalities aside from the poison. That was what donors were. Resilient; resistant to most disease.\n\nAnd grounded. She didn't seem like she would snap, but he'd seen enough people break under the weight of the transition to let his guard slip. And then there was her daughter. Children complicated things.\n\nShe just lay there and let him feed.\n\nHis first donor, Robert Milder, had to be sedated for the feedings. After him, there was Galatea. He had to tie her up. Every time. She had resented her role, loathed being restrained, despised him, and yet pulled him into her bed; and when they fucked, she drained him so completely, he felt blissfully empty, as if he had poured not only his seed, but his pain into her. She took it all and reveled in it, enjoying the power she wielded over him. He wasn't a fool. He knew she was driven by revenge, but he came back to her again and again, an idiot thirsty for a poisoned spring.\n\nAnd now he had Karina.\n\nA soothing cold spread through his veins, melting the needles of pain that always prickled him in the aftermath of his transformation from the attack variant. Funny. He had survived for six years on injections, shooting himself up every couple of days, but the synthetic hormones failed to soothe the ache. They managed to dull the pain, yet it had still gnawed at him, until he became convinced it would grind him down to nothing. Karina's body had barely had a chance to respond to his poison, yet even this tiny dose of the hormones brought relief to him. He had forgotten what it was like not to hurt.\n\nLucas breathed in her scent. The memory of the chase through the motel danced through his mind. He wanted to chase her again. He felt drunk.\n\nHe slipped the narrow strap of the tank top off Karina's shoulder, baring her left breast. Bigger, fuller, softer than he had expected. He imagined sliding his palm over the mound, brushing the nipple with his thumb. He pictured how her body would tighten in response, how the nipple would feel erect against his fingers.\n\nHe slid his fingers under the waistband of her jeans, pulled it up, and looked at the triangle of her white underwear. His cock ached. He wanted to mount her and thrust it inside her.\n\nSo what was stopping him?\n\nLucas slid his hand up, to her slightly rounded stomach, holding her gently, trying to puzzle it out. Had he tied her up before feeding from her, he would've fucked her by now, of that he was certain.\n\nTrust, he realized. She'd held up her part of the deal. It had cost her. She'd cried toward the end, once her grip on consciousness slipped\u2014silent tears that left wet tracks on her cheeks. Her arm would be sore as hell tomorrow. Provided the fever didn't rise, the poison didn't kill her, and there was a tomorrow in her future. He wanted her to live, but he had done all he could to help her.\n\nThe feeding had cost her, but she lay there and let him do his thing, as she had promised, and she expected him to hold up his end of the bargain. And the bargain didn't include fucking rights. She'd made that crystal clear.\n\nHe tugged her tank top back into place, covering her up, and pulled her to him, sliding his arm over her. She was his. She would take away his pain and he would guard her in return. That was the agreement.\n\n# **CHAPTER 3**\n\nKarina awoke to an empty room. Bright morning light flooded through the open window, drawing a yellow rectangle on the wooden floor. A draft brought an acrid stink of burning bacon.\n\nEmily.\n\nShe pushed free of the sheets and almost fell. Her head swam. Slowly, very slowly she slid off the bed and stood upright. Her throat was so dry, it hurt. A full glass of water sat on the bedside table beside a pair of binoculars and a yellow sticky that read \"Drink it.\" She could practically hear Lucas's growl.\n\nThe memory of his gnawing teeth squirmed through her, dragging nausea in its wake. Karina bent over, gripped the night table to steady herself, and saw a square bandage on her arm. She tugged at it, sending a jolt of pain through her limb. The bandage remained stuck. Karina pulled harder, trying to rip it away as if she could shed the memory of Lucas with it. She struggled with it for a few seconds, pain pounding up her biceps in hot prickly bursts, and finally tore it free.\n\nA big bruise stained the bend of her arm. Dark purple, it sat there like a brand. Lucas's proof of ownership. Dried blood was caked in the center, where his teeth had mangled her veins.\n\nThe price she paid for Emily's life. And her own. The ache in her arm pushed her to scream at the sheer mind-boggling unfairness of it: at being attacked, kidnapped, hurt, held down by brute force, robbed of her daughter, stripped of her freedom . . . At being plucked from her life. Only a day ago, she felt reasonably safe, secure in the knowledge that she could dial 911 at any moment and bring a police cruiser to her door. She had rights. She had protections. She was a person.\n\nShe felt the hot wet tears well in her eyes and clenched her teeth. She had to get a grip. Thinking like a victim would get her nowhere. Yes, it was terrifying. Yes, it hurt. But it didn't kill her. She was still alive and as long as she breathed, she had to fight for herself and her child. She had to obey and be sweet. She had to ingratiate herself. That was her only chance at survival and escape. Karina dropped the bandage on the night table and drained the glass. It was time to find her daughter.\n\nA harsh screech made her turn to the window. She walked to it, picking up the binoculars off the night table on the way. A wide green expanse spread before her, a wooded slope gently rolling away and down, toward mountains, brown and rust, fading to blue and eventually gray in the distance. A scrub forest hugged the roots of the mountains, dotting the grassy prairie in clumps of green. The wind fanned her face, bringing moisture and the tart fragrance of some unknown flower.\n\nIt was the middle of summer in southern Oklahoma and the prairie she'd seen through her windshield the day before had been a brown sea of dried grass. This, this looked like spring after weeks of rains somewhere in the foothills of rugged mountains.\n\nWhere the hell was she? Looked like complete wilderness, probably miles from any road, any people. Any help. If she escaped, crossing across rugged country with a six-year-old would be very difficult. She would have to plan well and bring a lot of water.\n\nThe brush quaked. A small brown animal burst from the growth. It resembled a dog, or maybe a coyote. It dashed across the grass, zigzagging in sheer panic. It didn't run like a coyote.\n\nWhat in the world?\n\nKarina raised the binoculars to her eyes.\n\nThe creature wasn't a dog. If anything it looked like a tiny horse, no more than two feet tall.\n\nThe brush shivered and spat three gray shapes onto the grass, one large and two others smaller. They ran upright on a pair of massively muscled legs, their bodies sheathed with gray feathers speckled with spots of black. Long, powerful necks supported heads armed with enormous beaks. The binoculars picked up every detail, from the crests of long feathers on their heads to the tiny vicious eyes.\n\nThe horse galloped for its life, veering left. The bird closest to it slid and swung toward the house to right itself. A flash of pale red shot through the empty air, as if the bird had run into an invisible net stretched tight, and the pressure of its body caused the threads to glow. The bird screeched and fell, catapulted back. For a moment it lay on the grass stunned, and then it rolled back to its feet and rejoined the chase.\n\nThe small horse was getting tired. It slowed. Foam dripped from its mouth.\n\nThe largest bird sprinted. The monstrous beak rose, then came down like an ax, chopping at the horse and knocking it off its feet. The horse rolled in the grass and staggered upright. The three birds danced about it, jabbing and pecking. The horse cried out and fell. Bloody beaks rose again and again . . .\n\nKarina lowered the binoculars.\n\nShe didn't know much about zoology, but she knew enough. They weren't emus; they weren't ostriches; no, these were something vicious, something ancient, something that should not exist in Texas or the Ozarks. Or the twenty-first century.\n\nSuddenly she was cold, freezing from head to toe.\n\nA triumphant screech rolled up from the plain.\n\nKarina dropped the binoculars on the side table and slammed the window shut.\n\n* * *\n\nA cloud of oily smoke greeted Karina in the kitchen. By the stove, Henry cursed, slid several charred pieces of bacon out of a pan with a spatula, and deposited them onto a plate. He saw her and waved the spatula around, flinging hot drops of grease onto the table. \"Good morning.\"\n\n\"Good morning,\" she answered on autopilot. \"I saw . . . birds.\"\n\n\"Terror birds.\" Henry nodded. \"Nasty creatures. Don't worry, there is a large fence around the entire hill. We call it the net\u2014it's thin wire with a powerful current running through it. You're completely safe within the vicinity of the house. They won't come close. Besides, they are mostly cowards. An adult human has nothing to worry about.\"\n\nOne of those things would kill a child. A vision of a bloody beak coming down like a hatchet flashed before Karina's eyes. She swallowed. \"My daughter?\"\n\nThe spatula pointed to Henry's right. \"Through that doorway.\"\n\nKarina forced herself not to run. She skirted the table and walked through the doorway into a living room. Her heart pounded.\n\nA small shape was curled on the couch, hidden by a green blanket. Karina pulled back the covers. Emily lay on the pillow. Her mouth was open slightly, her eyes closed, her hair a tangled mess.\n\nKarina knelt and hugged her gently. Emily stirred and she put her face to her daughter's cheek and clenched herself, trying not to cry.\n\n\"Daniel brought her early in the morning. Arthur told him he would let him speak in return,\" Henry said softly from the doorway. \"I've wiped her memory of the assault in the motel\u2014it was too traumatic\u2014so she won't recall anything about the place, and that entire day will be dim for her. There are no long-term effects to memory wipes, but there are some short-term consequences: she will sleep a lot more, she will seem confused, and she might have some anxiety. It should last for about a week. Lucas already called the main house. They have a nice room set up for her.\"\n\nKarina turned. \"I want her to stay with me.\"\n\nHenry looked uncomfortable. \"There is a reason why the three of us are separated from the main house.\"\n\n\"Three? I thought Arthur lived here.\"\n\nHenry shook his head. \"Arthur stays at the main compound. Of our entire group, Lucas is the most feared, Daniel is the most despised, and I'm the least trusted.\" He paused. \"This house isn't the best place for a child.\"\n\nShe paused. \"Henry, why in the world would anyone not trust you?\" Of the four men she'd met so far, Henry seemed the least insane.\n\nHe smiled, apologetic, almost vulnerable, and leaned closer. \"I can make you forget we ever had this conversation. I can make you forget about Lucas, about the motel, and, if I strain a little, you won't remember you ever had a daughter.\"\n\nShe paused. It seemed insane, but no less insane than the idea of a man who turned into a nightmarish beast. \"Can you read thoughts?\"\n\n\"Nobody can read thoughts.\" Henry shook his head. \"Not even combat-grade operatives like me.\"\n\nCombat with whom? Why? He was wording his replies very carefully, thinking about them for a moment before answering. If she pushed him too hard, he would stop talking. \"I'm not sure I understand. Do you wipe your enemies' memories?\"\n\nHenry took his glasses off and cleaned the lenses with the corner of Emily's blanket. Without his glasses, he seemed younger. \"The mind doesn't just store memories. It also governs many functions of the body. I can mentally scout the enemy and tell you their numbers. Obviously the more of them there are, the higher the margin of error is, but typically I'm not off by a significant number. I can find your mind in a crowd of people and attack it, so you'll think you're drowning. I can disconnect your brain from the rest of you and starve it of oxygen until you become a vegetable. My subspecies isn't called Memory Wiper. It's called Mind Bender.\"\n\nFor a moment she was more terrified of him than she was of Lucas, and thinking that he might somehow crack her skull open and peer into her brain scared her even more.\n\nHenry glanced at Emily on the couch. \"Do you trust me now? Do you want your daughter near me?\"\n\nNo. She didn't trust any of them. But the main house, whatever it was, would be full of strangers. The thought of someone full of violent rage, like Lucas, or cold like Arthur, being in charge of Emily without her to shield her daughter made her wince.\n\nKarina clenched her hands. Screaming and hysterics would do her no good. She had to reason with them. She had to be smart. Use logic. \"Henry, I'd rather take you and Lucas over a house of people I don't know. Emily woke up alone, without me. She must've been frightened. She's my daughter, Henry. She's safest with me, because I'm her mother and I would give my life to keep her from harm.\"\n\n\"Speak to Lucas,\" Henry suggested. \"I'm sure he will permit some sort of visitation.\"\n\nLucas. Lucas had said he owned both of them. She had to make him understand. Karina fixed Emily's blanket and rose. \"Can I make her breakfast? Or should I ask Lucas's permission?\"\n\nHenry stepped aside. \"You're welcome to any food we have.\" He cleared his throat.\n\nThe fridge contained eggs, several pounds of bacon, some slimy cold cuts, a hunk of mozzarella cheese\u2014dried, yellow, and brittle\u2014and a pack of green-looking hot dogs. Karina pulled out eggs and bacon. \"Flour?\"\n\nHenry dug in one of the cabinets, looking lost, frowned, and opened a door, revealing a huge supply room. \"I think in here somewhere.\"\n\nShe stepped into the room. Rows and rows of wooden shelves, filled with cans and jars, a huge spice rack, fifty-pound bags of sugar, flour, rice . . . three large freezers filled with meat. Enough food to feed these men for years. \"Are you expecting a long siege?\"\n\n\"You never know,\" Henry said with a thin smile. \"We've had a few.\"\n\n\"You, Daniel, Lucas, me, Emily. . . is anybody else coming?\"\n\n\"No. Does this mean we're invited to the meal?\"\n\n\"I'm using your food.\"\n\nHenry exhaled, picked up the plate of black bacon strips, and dumped them into the trash. \"Thank God.\"\n\nKarina opened the window first, so the kitchen would air out, and set about making breakfast. Henry parked himself by the refrigerator and watched her. There was something disquieting about Henry. When she looked at him, she got an impression of length: long limbs, long frame, long face. Even though she vaguely recalled that he was slightly shorter than Lucas, he appeared taller. He seemed lean, almost thin, but that notion was deceiving\u2014his sweatshirt sleeves were pulled up to his elbows, revealing forearms sculpted with hard muscle. He smiled often, but the curving of his lips lacked emotion. His smile was paper-thin, an automatic, knee-jerk reaction like blinking.\n\nA Mind Bender. If what he said was true, he could kill Emily in front of her, wipe Karina's mind clean, and she would never remember it.\n\nKarina found Granny Smith apples in the bottom of the fridge and checked the drawers. On the third try she hit what looked like a utility drawer: knives, screwdrivers, bottle openers, and wooden spoons. She fished a medium-sized knife from the drawer, peeled the apples, cored and chopped them, and set them to fry slowly, sprinkling them with brown sugar.\n\n\"It smells divine,\" Henry murmured.\n\n\"Is there cinnamon?\"\n\n\"I am sure there is. It's brown powder, right?\" Henry stepped into the pantry.\n\n\"Yes.\" She grabbed the knife, pulled the fabric of her jeans away from her hip, and slid the knife into her pocket. The point of the blade cut the lining and she jammed the knife all the way down to the hilt. The blade scraped against her skin. She glanced down. No blood. Karina exhaled. Cutting herself was a calculated risk\u2014she had no other place to hide the knife. Anywhere else it would make a bulge. She pulled her T-shirt down over it.\n\nHenry came out of the pantry. She held her breath. Maybe he could read thoughts. Maybe he would pluck the image of the knife out of her head. She had to stop thinking about it, but she couldn't. The shape of the knife was probably glowing in her brain.\n\nHenry shook a plastic container of cinnamon. \"Found it.\"\n\nShe had to say something or he would realize things were wrong. Karina willed her mouth to move. \"Thank you.\" She took the cinnamon and sprinkled it on the apples.\n\nThe bacon rack was missing in action, or perhaps they didn't have one. She layered a plate with paper towels, placed the strips on top, and popped it into the microwave.\n\n\"You don't cook often?\" she asked.\n\n\"On the contrary. I cook quite frequently, out of sheer necessity. Unfortunately, most of what I produce is inedible. Daniel's cooking is even worse than mine, if such a thing is possible. Lucas can grill quite well when pushed to it, but in the kitchen his idea of a meal involves a raw piece of meat, burned on the outside. Adrino was our cook.\"\n\n\"Where is he now?\"\n\n\"Dead. About nine months ago.\"\n\nShe paused to look at him. \"I'm sorry.\"\n\nHenry nodded. \"Thank you.\"\n\nKarina resumed stirring the pancake batter. \"How did he die?\"\n\n\"Lucas bit him in half.\"\n\nShe stopped. \"Was he a member of your family?\"\n\n\"He was. He was Lucas's cousin on his mother's side, and my stepbrother.\"\n\nKarina found the griddle and set it on the burners to heat up. She stirred the apples with a wooden spoon, then pulled the bacon out of the microwave and peeled it from the paper towels.\n\n\"I can do that,\" Henry offered.\n\n\"Thank you.\" She poured the pancake batter on the griddle in quick drips and watched the first pancake puff and bubble at the edges. \"Why did Lucas kill him?\"\n\n\"Adrino tried to murder Arthur.\"\n\n\"Why?\"\n\nHenry smiled, a quick baring of teeth, meaningless and flat like a mask. \"Adrino had raped a woman on base. As a punishment, Arthur had him chained for two months.\"\n\n\"Chained?\"\n\n\"In the courtyard. Eventually Adrino was let off the chain and everything went quite well, until he attempted to solidify Arthur's blood during the last Christmas dinner. In retrospect, we should have expected it. His subspecies is prone to rashness.\" Henry smiled again. \"You will find that we're a violent, vicious lot, Lady Karina. All of us hate Arthur, hate each other, hate who we are, what we are, why we are. This hate is so deep within us, it's in our bones. Lucas hates stronger than most of us for his own reasons. But Lucas is also far more controlled in his rages than he lets on. He recognizes the simple truth: Arthur is the glue that holds us together. Arthur makes mistakes, and he's brutal, but he's also fair. Every tribe must have a leader. Without the leader there is chaos. May I just mention that your pancakes smell delicious? I don't suppose there is any way I could steal one right now, is there?\"\n\n* * *\n\nThirty minutes later, the pancakes were done, the bacon was cooked, and Karina crossed the room to her daughter.\n\n\"Emily? Wake up . . .\"\n\n\"Mommy!\" Emily clutched Karina around the neck and hung on with surprisingly fierce strength.\n\nKarina scooped her off the couch and held her close, afraid to hug the tiny body too hard. \"I'm here, baby. I love you.\" Emily never said \"mommy.\" It was always \"mom.\"\n\n\"You won't leave?\"\n\nA hard knot formed in Karina's throat. \"Leaving\" was Emily's euphemism for dying. Her daughter thought she had died.\n\n\"I will try very hard not to,\" she promised.\n\nEmily hung on, and Karina gently carried her into the kitchen. \"I made your favorite apples.\"\n\nSlowly Emily's hold on her neck eased. A few seconds later she allowed herself to be put into a chair at the table.\n\nDaniel marched into the kitchen. \"Food.\"\n\nHenry nodded. \"Yes.\"\n\nDaniel pulled out a chair, sat, and reached for the pancakes.\n\n\"Let's wait for Lucas,\" Henry said.\n\n\"Fuck Lucas.\"\n\nKarina looked at Daniel. Henry sighed. Daniel looked back at them, glanced at Emily, and shrugged. \"They don't like it that I swear. Do you mind if I swear?\"\n\nEmily shook her head.\n\n\"See, she doesn't mind.\"\n\nLucas loomed in the doorway. One moment it was empty and the next he was just there, green eyes watching her every move with a hungry light. Karina took her chair, trying to ignore it, but his gaze clasped her like an invisible chain. She looked back at him. _Yes, I belong to you. You don't have to ram it down my throat._\n\nEmily's eyes had grown big. She shied a little when Lucas stepped to the table, aware of his movements. Karina read fear in her daughter's face and reached over to hold her hand. He'd given Emily no reason to fear him, yet she was clearly scared, almost as if she sensed on some primal level that he was a threat.\n\nLucas sat next to Karina, opposite of Daniel, and reached for the pancakes. She watched him load his plate: four pancakes, four links of sausage, six strips of bacon . . . The plate would hold no more. He pondered it, frustrated, then piled the apples atop the pancakes and drenched the whole thing in maple syrup.\n\nIt was good that she had made enough for ten people.\n\nLucas sliced pancakes with his fork, pierced a slice of the apple, and maneuvered the whole thing into his mouth. Karina sat on the edge of her seat, listening to the elevated tempo of her own heartbeat, watching him chew, and waited for him to throw the plate across the table. She wanted them to like the food; no, she desperately needed the three of them to like the food. Her survival depended on it.\n\nLucas swallowed. \"Good,\" he said and reached for more.\n\nKarina slumped a little in her chair, unable to hide her relief.\n\n\"Good? It's fucking divine,\" Daniel said. \"It's the first decent meal we've had in weeks.\"\n\nLucas leveled a heavy stare at him but said nothing.\n\n\"Mom,\" Emily said.\n\n\"What, baby?\"\n\n\"I left my backpack at Jill's house. It has my school stuff in it.\"\n\nThe three men ate, watching her.\n\n\"That will be okay, baby,\" Karina said. \"You have to change schools anyway.\"\n\n\"Why?\"\n\n\"Because we live here now and you'll go to a special school.\" The words came out painfully.\n\n\"Do I have to ride the bus?\"\n\nKarina swallowed a lump that had formed in her throat. Acknowledging where they were was hard, as if she were driving nails into her own coffin. \"No.\"\n\n\"Why do we have to stay here?\"\n\n\"This is where I work now.\"\n\n\"Your mother is a slave,\" Daniel said. \"Lucas owns her.\"\n\nIf only she could have reached across the table, she would have hit him with a closed fist so it would hurt. Karina forced neutrality into her face, pulling it on like a mask. Show nothing. Betray no weakness.\n\n\"Is a slave better than a payroll supervisor?\" Emily asked.\n\n\"They're not that different,\" Karina lied. So many times before she had thought she worked like a slave, pulling in long hours, picking up project after project, perpetually behind, trying to get to the bottom of her to-do stack. She thought she had experienced the worst life could throw at her. All of it seemed so pointless now. Her memories belonged to someone else, a happier, flightier, younger person. She had a new life now and new priorities, chief of which was the welfare of her daughter. She had to keep Emily safe.\n\nEmily poked her pancake with a fork. \"What about the house? All our stuff is there . . . my Hello Kitty blanket . . .\"\n\n\"We'll get new things.\" She cast a quick glance around the table but none of the three men said anything to break down her fragile promises.\n\n\"Will I get my own room?\"\n\nKarina looked to Lucas. _Please. Don't separate me from my daughter._\n\nHe wiped his mouth with a napkin, his movements unhurried. \"You have to stay at the main house. You can come to visit your mother on weekends. We'll set up a room.\"\n\n\"I want to stay with Mom.\" Emily's voice was tiny.\n\n\"You can't,\" Lucas said.\n\nEmily bit her lip.\n\n\"You'll have a good place at the main house. A room you'll share with a nice girl. Toys. Clothes. Everything you need. If anybody tries to be mean to you, tell them you belong to Lucas. Everyone is afraid of me. Nobody will harm you.\"\n\n\"No,\" Emily said.\n\nLucas stopped eating. Karina tensed.\n\n\"Are you telling me no?\" Lucas asked. His voice was calm.\n\nEmily raised her chin with all of the defiance a six-year-old could muster. \"I'm tired and I'm scared, and I'm not going. I'm staying with my mom. Are you going to yell at me?\"\n\n\"No,\" Lucas said. \"I don't need to.\"\n\n\"You're not my dad. My dad left.\"\n\nLucas glanced at Karina.\n\n\"I'm a widow,\" she said quietly.\n\n\"I'm not your father, but I'm in charge,\" Lucas said. \"You will obey me anyway.\"\n\n\"Why?\" Emily asked.\n\nLucas leaned forward and stared at Emily. \"Because I am big, strong, and scary. And you are very small.\"\n\n\"You're not nice.\" Emily held his gaze, but Karina could tell it wasn't out of courage. Emily had simply frozen like a baby rabbit looking into the eyes of a wolf.\n\n\"It's not a nice world and I can't always be nice,\" Lucas said. \"But I will try and I won't be mean to you without a reason.\"\n\nKarina put her hand on his forearm, trying to tear his attention away from Emily. It worked; he looked at her.\n\n\"Please.\" It took all of her will to keep the tremble out of her voice. \"Please let her stay.\"\n\n\"I want to stay,\" Emily said. \"I'll be good. I'll do all my chores.\"\n\n\"I'll think about it,\" Lucas said.\n\n# **CHAPTER 4**\n\nA half hour later, breakfast was finished. The men rose one by one, rinsed their plates, and loaded the dishes and silverware into the dishwasher with surprising efficiency. Karina put the last of the food away. Henry had stepped out, but Daniel remained in the kitchen, leaning against the counter, watching her. Lucas loomed by the door, watching Daniel.\n\n\"Can I go outside?\" Emily asked.\n\nKarina paused. \"I don't think that is a good idea.\"\n\n\"Why not?\" Daniel arched an eyebrow.\n\n\"Because there are scary birds out there.\"\n\n\"There are scary birds? What kind of scary birds?\"\n\n\"It's safe,\" Lucas said. \"The net keeps everything out.\"\n\nKarina remembered the bird's body hitting the invisible fence. \"What if she walks into this net?\"\n\n\"She'd have to walk a mile and a half down the hill before she reached it,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"I want to see the birds,\" Emily said. \"Please?\"\n\nIt would get them out of the house, away from the men and out into the open. She could get a better look around. Maybe she would see a road, or a house, some avenue of escape. Karina wiped her hands with a towel and hung it on the back of the chair. \"Okay. But we're going to stay by the house.\"\n\n\"I'll come with you,\" Lucas said.\n\nAll she wanted was the illusion of being alone with her daughter. He wouldn't let her have it. Karina clenched her teeth.\n\n\"That's right,\" Daniel said. \"Bite your tongue. It will come in handy.\"\n\nLucas gave him a flat stare. For a moment they stood still, then Daniel rolled his eyes and casually wandered out of the kitchen into the side hallway. Lucas moved in the opposite direction, through the doorway. Karina took Emily by the hand. \"Come on, baby.\"\n\nThe hallway cut through the house, straight to the door. They passed rooms: a library filled with books from floor to ceiling on the right, a large room with a giant flat-screen TV on the left, and then Lucas opened the door and they stepped on the porch into the sunlight. The yard was grass, small scrawny oaks and brush flanking it on both sides. A path led down the hill into the distance. To the left a huge oak out of sync with the rest of the scrub forest and probably planted, spread its branches.\n\nA shaggy brown dog stepped out from behind the oak. As tall as a Great Dane, it trotted forward on massive legs, its long tail held straight behind it. There was something odd in the way it walked, waddling slightly, more like a bear than a dog.\n\nKarina stepped between Emily and the beast.\n\nThe animal stopped. Large brown eyes stared at them from a massive head crowned with round ears.\n\n\"Don't worry, he's tame,\" Lucas said behind her.\n\nThe meld of dog and bear peered at Lucas and let out a short snort.\n\n\"He doesn't like it when I phase into my attack variant,\" Lucas said. \"It weirds him out for a couple of days. Cedric, don't be a dick. Let the kid pet you.\"\n\nAnother snort. She couldn't really blame the dog. Considering how Lucas looked in his \"attack variant\" it was a wonder the dog stuck around at all.\n\nCedric pondered them for a long moment and waddled over. Emily stretched out her hand. Karina's insides clenched into a tight knot.\n\nCedric nudged Emily's hand with his nose, snorted again, and bumped the bulge in the front pocket of her hoodie.\n\n\"What do you have in your pocket?\" Karina asked.\n\nEmily dug into her pocket and pulled out a half-eaten apple.\n\nNot again. Karina kept her voice gentle. \"Emily, you know you're not supposed to have that . . .\"\n\nCedric sniffed at the apple. His mouth gaped open, revealing huge teeth.\n\n\"He won't hurt her,\" Lucas said with absolute certainty in his voice.\n\nEmily held the apple out. Very carefully, almost gently, Cedric swiped it off her hand, sat on his behind, and raised the fruit to his mouth, holding it with long, dark claws. The black nose sniffed the apple, the jaws opened and closed, and the beast bit a small chunk from the fruit and chewed in obvious pleasure.\n\n\"He likes it!\" Emily announced and jumped down off the steps into the yard. \"Come on, Cedric!\"\n\n\"Where are you going?\" Karina took a step to follow.\n\n\"Just to the tree.\"\n\nThe oak was barely fifty feet away. Karina bit her lip. Her instincts told her to clutch her child and not let go, but Emily needed to feel normal. She needed to play. Her daughter didn't understand how precarious their situation was, she had no idea how vulnerable they were, and Karina had to keep it that way.\n\nEmily was looking at her. \"Can I go?\"\n\n\"Yes. You can go.\"\n\nEmily headed toward the tree. Cedric finished his apple in a hurried gulp, rolled to his paws, and followed her to the tree.\n\nLucas leaned on a porch post next to Karina. She had expected him to somehow shrink in daylight, as if he were some sort of evil creature of the night whose power faded with the sun, but he remained just as big and menacing. If anything, the sun made it worse\u2014she could see every detail of his severe face. Everything about him, the way he leaned against the rail, the way muscle bulged on his arms and chest, the way he surveyed the yard, inspecting his territory, communicated predator.\n\nLucas raised his face to the sun, closed his eyes, and smiled. The smile lasted only a moment, gone like a leaf blown by the breeze, but she had seen it. He was handsome and the danger he emanated sharpened that beauty to a lethal edge. He was beautiful in the same deadly way a tiger was beautiful, and now she was locked in a cage with him.\n\nIf he was on her side, nobody would ever bother them.\n\nAt the tree, Emily picked up a twig and tossed it. Cedric looked at the twig and back at her, slightly puzzled.\n\n\"What is he?\" Karina asked.\n\n\"A bear-dog. We played with their genetics a few generations back. He's gentle like a collie with the kids and he's a lot smarter than an average dog. What's the problem with her having an apple?\"\n\nKarina sat on the stairs. \"She hoards food.\"\n\n\"Why?\"\n\nShe didn't want to tell him. The less he knew about them, the less information he could use against her. \"It makes her feel safe.\"\n\nBy the tree Emily clapped her hands and explained something to Cedric. He sat on his butt again, listening to her.\n\n\"Was she adopted?\" Lucas asked quietly.\n\n\"No.\" She wouldn't have expected him to know that adoptive children sometimes exhibited food hoarding. Now she had to explain more just to keep him from getting the wrong idea. \"It happened after her father's death. It's not an eating disorder. She doesn't want extra food; she's just trying to control her environment. We handled it, but with everything that's happened she might have relapsed. Please don't berate her or yell at her for it. It . . .\"\n\n\"It makes things worse,\" he finished for her. \"I know.\"\n\n\"Let me have her,\" she said, suddenly desperate. \"Let me have her here with me. I thought I lost her on that fire escape. You have everything else\u2014my freedom, my body, everything\u2014and I just want one thing. Just let me keep my baby.\"\n\nLucas frowned. He didn't seem vicious now. \"I'm not doing this to be an asshole.\"\n\n\"I'll keep her out of the way . . .\"\n\nCedric snarled at the bushes, baring his teeth, and lunged into the thicket.\n\nKarina jumped to her feet. Before her knees had straightened, Lucas had leaped over the railing and was sprinting to the tree.\n\nEmily stumbled back. Her mouth gaped in a surprised O.\n\nKarina ran but she was so agonizingly slow.\n\nLucas reached Emily, pushed her back, out of the way, and crashed through the underbrush.\n\nKarina lunged forward. Her hand closed about Emily's shoulder. She grabbed her daughter and backed away, keeping her hand on her pocket, feeling the hard knife handle through the fabric of her jeans.\n\nLucas jerked something out of the bushes. Long and green and brown, it writhed in his hand, flailing, the elongated olive tail brushing the ground. He roared, a deep growl that nearly made her jump. \"Henry!\"\n\nThe thing jerked, its throat caught in Lucas's hand. He turned and Karina finally saw it: it resembled a freakishly large bearded dragon lizard bristling with inch-long spikes on its cheeks and sides. As the creature twisted, a crest snapped open along its back, the spikes standing up like the razor-sharp fins of some deepwater fish. The lizard creature clawed at Lucas's arm with long black claws. Blood welled in the scratches.\n\n\"A monster!\" Emily squeaked.\n\n\"No, just a big lizard.\" Karina kept a death grip on Emily.\n\nBehind her the door burst open. Daniel charged onto the porch. His face contorted. Something brushed past Karina like a sudden draft. The beast jerked and hung motionless, its legs abruptly gone limp.\n\nLucas carried the lizard to the porch. \"Henry!\"\n\nHenry burst onto the porch.\n\nLucas slammed the lizard down onto the porch boards. The creature blinked but lay completely still. Henry knelt by the lizard. His hands touched the back of the creature's skull. He closed his eyes, focused for a long moment, and glanced up. \"Its mind is inert. It didn't transmit.\"\n\nLucas looked at him. \"Sure?\"\n\nHenry pushed his glasses back up his nose. \"Yes. If it transmitted, there would be evidence of a spike in neural activity.\"\n\nLucas raised his fist and brought it down like a hammer. She barely had enough warning to spin Emily around before his fist crushed the lizard's skull, flattening it like an empty Coke can.\n\n\"Daniel, call the main house.\" Lucas turned to her. \"Take Emily and go to our room. Don't come out until I get you.\"\n\nKarina didn't ask what was going on. She just picked Emily up, ran inside the house, and didn't stop until the door of Lucas's room closed behind her.\n\n* * *\n\nThe day burned down to the afternoon. Emily investigated the room, then she whined about being bored, and finally she fell asleep in the overstuffed chair in the corner. At first Karina listened for every noise and creak outside the door. Her nerves were wound so tight, she could barely sit still.\n\nIf the creature in the bushes had been just an ordinary lizard, Lucas would've killed it right away. She had no doubt of it. No, this beast had created an emergency. She had no idea why and that somehow made everything so much worse. Eventually her own anxiety wore her out and she sank into a light sleep, a kind of wakeful drowsiness, where every stray noise made her raise her head.\n\nThe room was so quiet. Karina closed her eyes for a moment, opened them, and then Lucas was there, walking across the room. She hadn't heard the door open.\n\nLucas scooped Emily out of the chair. Karina surged to her feet. \"Where are you taking her?\"\n\n\"To a different room,\" he said quietly and went out. She followed him down the hallway to a small bedroom. A bed with a red comforter stood against one wall, next to a bookcase filled with children's books. A desk offered a small computer with a flat-screen monitor.\n\nHe'd made her a room. He'd changed his mind.\n\nLucas deposited Emily on the bed and stepped out. Karina pulled the blanket over Emily's shoulders. She was so tiny on the bed. Karina's mind replayed Lucas clenching the lizard's throat. One squeeze and Emily would be dead.\n\nHe waited for her now, in the hallway. Karina made herself step away from the bed and walked out. Lucas closed the door, locked it, and handed her the key. \"This is for her protection. Our room doesn't have a lock. Daniel is pissed off tonight, and I'm feeling surly, which makes the house a dangerous place to be, so it's best she stays in this room. This is for tonight only. Tomorrow she will go to the main house.\"\n\nBut the room\u2014it was a child's room, made for a little girl. The blankets and the pillowcases looked brand-new and the rug still had the price sticker on it.\n\nSo he hadn't changed his mind. She had from now until morning to convince him to let her keep her daughter. Karina opened her mouth and said the only thing she could think of. \"Are you hungry?\"\n\nLucas nodded. \"I could eat.\"\n\n\"Any preference?\"\n\n\"Meat would be nice.\" He turned away.\n\n\"Lucas?\"\n\nHe glanced at her over his shoulder. \"Yes?\"\n\n\"What's going on?\" Karina asked him softly. \"What was that thing?\"\n\nLucas grimaced. \"It's a long explanation.\"\n\n\"Please. I want to know.\" Whatever he would tell her had to be better than not knowing.\n\nLucas sighed. \"The woman who poisoned you has friends. Her people are looking for our base, so they are sending scouts out. The lizard was one of them. It's basically a walking camera\u2014it records what it sees and then transmits the information to its owners in short bursts. Luckily we caught this one before any transmissions had gone out.\"\n\n\"And if it had sent this transmission?\"\n\n\"We'd be evacuating,\" Lucas said. \"We still may. We'll know more in the morning.\"\n\nKarina hugged her shoulders. \"Lucas, where are we?\"\n\nHe was looking directly at her. \"We're on base.\"\n\n\"Where is this base? I've seen those birds. There are no birds like that in North America.\"\n\nLucas examined her face for a long breath. \"You want the truth?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\nHe grimaced. \"You asked for it. As the planet rotates, fluctuations between the forces of gravity and nuclear reactions on the subleptron and subquark level cause a ripple effect in reality, where time and space are not constant but dynamic. Parts of space-time become incompatible with the current reality and are discarded. In essence, Earth continuously sheds chunks of itself. They linger for a time and dissipate, some slower, some faster. We're in one such chunk\u2014we call them fragments. It was shed sometime during the late Pliocene, approximately two and a half million years ago in what is now Texas. This pocket is stable and shouldn't begin to dissipate for another couple thousand years. Can you make cubed steak?\"\n\n\"What?\" Karina stared at him, sure she had misheard.\n\n\"I asked if you can cook cubed steak. I just realized I'd really like some.\"\n\n\"Yes, I can. You're not joking?\"\n\n\"About the steak?\"\n\n\"About the fragments.\"\n\nLucas shook his head.\n\nThis was just insane. \"So we're in an alternate reality? Like in a parallel dimension? Like in _Star Trek_?\"\n\n\"No. A mirror dimension is a self-contained, complete reality. We're in a dimensional fragment.\" Lucas leaned back against the wall. \"Okay, think of an onion. The inner layers are white, and the outer layer is brown. Suppose the outer layer rots. The onion makes a replacement layer, identical to this outer one, and sheds the rotten layer in bits and pieces, some big, some tiny. We are in a piece of that rotten layer.\"\n\nShe stared at him. If he wasn't lying, they weren't anywhere near Oklahoma. They weren't even on the same planet. Escape was impossible.\n\n\"Don't think about it too much,\" Lucas said. \"Subquantum mechanics will drive you insane.\"\n\n\"Can we get back? To normal Earth?\"\n\n\"It depends on how close the layer is to its reality. The motel where you were attacked was in a layer that had barely begun to separate, so we could cross in and out easily. But this pocket has peeled much too far away for you and I to exit on our own. We need someone to rip it. To open a gateway.\" Lucas pushed off from the wall.\n\n\"But we _can_ go back?\" Surely they had to go back occasionally. Their clothes had tags; their plates had Corelle stamped on the back. Microwaves and refrigerators didn't sprout on prehistoric trees, which meant the people of Daryon had to pop back and forth from the normal Earth to here and back on a whim.\n\nLucas leaned toward her. His gaze fixed on her. Suddenly he was occupying too much space. She took a step back, her spine pressing against the wall.\n\nA slow smile curved Lucas's lips. \"Yes. You can go back. But never without me. If you ever try, I will find you and bring you back.\" His smile grew wider. \"And then all bets are off.\"\n\nHe was looking at her with an open sexual hunger, so intense, for a second she didn't think it could be sincere. She froze, terrified. And then a small part of her responded to it. For a second, Karina wondered what it would be like to cross the distance between them, laugh right into that stare, and walk away, leaving him standing there like an idiot. But as long as he controlled Emily, she could do nothing.\n\nHe leaned forward a quarter inch, like a predatory cat about to pounce.\n\nIn her mind, Karina gulped and fled down the hallway, her heart hammering too fast and too loud. But showing weakness wasn't an option. Lucas had told her before that he was a predator. If she ran, the predator would chase.\n\nShe raised her face toward him. \"If I do go back without you, don't find me.\"\n\nHe turned his head to the side, like a dog, studying her. \"Or?\"\n\n\"Or I will kill you.\"\n\nHe laughed, a low rich sound that sent shivers of alarm down her spine. \"How?\"\n\n\"I'll think of something.\"\n\nShe turned her back to him and forced herself to walk slowly toward the kitchen.\n\n* * *\n\nLucas tilted his head and watched Karina retreat down the hallway. The look in her eyes, the angle of her face, the way she stood, everything communicated defiance. She challenged him. She had no idea how exciting this made her. He wanted to pin her against the wall, until she acknowledged that he was strong enough and powerful enough for her. He wanted to kiss and taste and grind and own. Different standards, he reminded himself. For him it would be flirting. For her, it would be a prelude to rape.\n\nLucas looked at the ceiling. He knew exactly where this violent impulse was coming from. It was an evolutionary echo, the same echo that told him to murder every other male in the house and then hunt her until she gave in. He made a choice to reject it daily. Strangely, it wasn't getting any easier.\n\nHenry's light steps approached him. \"Physical assault is probably not the best way to go,\" Henry murmured.\n\nSometimes Lucas could swear the man could read thoughts, even though every Mind Bender Lucas had ever met maintained it was impossible. \"Playing in my head?\"\n\n\"Of course not.\" Henry smiled at him. \"Your fists are clenched and it's written all over your face.\"\n\nHe'd figured as much. \"She's beginning to ask questions.\"\n\n\"That's a little faster than I expected.\" Henry frowned. \"I wiped almost twelve hours of severe pain from her. Usually a wipe of that extent leaves people inert longer. You're pacing the explanations?\"\n\nLucas nodded. \"Not my first time.\"\n\nHe'd helped bring people over a few times before. A human mind could only accept so much. If he flooded her with the information contradicting her view of reality, the impact of it, combined with her physical trauma, would cause her to snap under the pressure. Her body was at its limits already, fighting the poison and coping with his venom and its consequences, which would soon follow.\n\nLucas started down the hallway. He needed a shower and some time away from everyone to soothe the excitement rushing through his veins.\n\n\"Lucas?\" Henry called.\n\nLucas turned.\n\nHis cousin looked at him for a long moment. \"Be kind.\"\n\n* * *\n\nAn hour later Karina put the dinner on the table. The encounter in the hallway kept replaying in her head and she couldn't decide if she'd botched it or handled it well. Emily still slept. Henry had said the fatigue was normal, but she worried all the same.\n\n\"Cubed steak.\" Henry slid into his seat. \" 'Beef. It's what's for dinner.' \"\n\nKarina took her seat. Lucas sat to the right of her. Too close. She should have served the dinner in the dining room instead of the kitchen. The bigger table would've given her more space.\n\nLucas crowded her, drinking in her anxiety. Karina swallowed, unable to help herself. He was simply too large and he watched her constantly. Even when she couldn't see him, she couldn't get rid of the pressure his gaze brought. He leaned toward her, emanating menace, and she shrank from him out of sheer self-defense.\n\nHis lips stretched and Lucas showed her his teeth, large and sharp. \"Am I scary?\"\n\nShe met his stare. \"Yes,\" she said. \"But you know that already. Making me admit it makes you cruel. Corn or beans?\"\n\nHe drew back. His eyes widened and for a moment the burden of his presence eased. \"Corn.\"\n\nShe passed the dish of corn to him.\n\nDaniel sauntered into the room. While Henry migrated from place to place and Lucas stalked, his steps soundless and full of fierce grace, Daniel strode as if his feet did the ground a great favor. He didn't walk but floated, devastating in his beauty and perfectly aware of it.\n\nDaniel took a seat directly opposite her. He speared a steak and dropped it on his plate. \"Are you going to do this every day? Cook the dinner, be the dinner?\"\n\n\"Yes,\" Karina said with a calm she didn't feel.\n\n\"Why? Are you totally spineless? What do you think sucking up will earn you? Look at him.\" Daniel pointed at Lucas. \"He doesn't care.\"\n\n\"I'm not doing it for him.\"\n\n\"Then why?\"\n\n\"Here we go.\" Henry rolled his eyes.\n\nDaniel pushed off from the table, balancing his chair on its back legs, and crossed his arms. \"No, I want her to enlighten me. How deeply has Stockholm syndrome set in?\"\n\nKarina put down her fork. Her instinct told her that whatever she said next would define her place in this house. The idea of some flattering subterfuge crossed her mind and died. She wondered if she should say nothing at all. In the end, she decided on honesty.\n\n\"I understand that I can die at any moment. Lucas's cousin died at the last Christmas dinner. For all I know, Lucas might die tomorrow, killed by your enemies or by your family members. Without Lucas I have no worth. My daughter is here because of me. If I'm no longer needed, I expect that neither will she be. I've seen enough of your family to realize we won't be allowed to leave. You will dispose of us as if we never existed. I have to find some way to make myself valued beyond Lucas. Then, if he dies, both my daughter and I might survive.\"\n\n\"And you do this by becoming our housekeeper?\" Daniel grinned. \"Cooking, cleaning up after us? Tell me, how low will you stoop? If I leave some shit in the bathroom for you, will you clean it up?\"\n\n\"No,\" Karina said. \"You'll clean your own shit. Unless you're sitting in a pile of it right now, you must know how to aim for the toilet and wipe your own ass.\"\n\nThe amusement in Daniel's eyes crystallized into anger. \"If you want to ingratiate yourself, there's a much easier way of doing it. You can come over here right now and suck my cock. That will put you into my good graces much faster than scrubbing the sink.\"\n\nKarina glanced at Lucas. He cut a piece of steak, chewed with obvious pleasure, and threw her a look that said, _Sit tight._\n\n\"She isn't a fool, Daniel.\" Henry snagged another roll from the bread basket. \"These are delicious. She knows that servicing you would put you and Lucas at each other's throats. You're playing this game for your personal gratification, but Lucas depends on her for his survival. She'd have to be mentally deficient to choose you over him.\"\n\nDaniel shifted to Lucas. \"So what does his lordship think of all this? Your snack has you buried already. Are you flattered?\"\n\nLucas cut into his third steak.\n\n\"What would you do in her place? Would you mop the floors, O mighty one?\"\n\nLucas thought about it. \"In her place I would've killed the two of you already. But I'm not in her place. And I'm not her. I'm not smaller and weaker than everyone around me, nor do I have a child's life in my hands. She's being prudent, given her situation.\"\n\nDaniel smirked. \"Never thought you'd be so agreeable at the idea of your own death.\"\n\n\"We all must come to terms with it one way or another,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"Maybe I'll help you on your way, then, since you're all prepared. Seems a shame to waste the opportunity.\"\n\n\"Think you can?\" Lucas asked with genuine interest.\n\n\"Careful, Daniel,\" Henry said. \"That kind of talk will end with you breaking a nail or messing up your hair.\"\n\nDaniel ignored him and glared at Lucas. \"Bring it.\"\n\nLucas put down his fork, smiled, and shoved the table aside like it weighed nothing. Karina scrambled out of the way. Lucas's huge hand clamped Daniel's throat. Daniel clawed at Lucas's forearm. The bigger man jerked him off his feet, shook him the way a dog shakes a rat, and slammed him down onto the table. Dishes flew. Trapped in a corner between the counter and the stove, Karina threw her hands in front of her face. A ceramic dish shattered next to her, spraying green beans over the counter.\n\n\"No,\" Henry screamed. \"Not inside! Not inside!\"\n\nRed marks sliced Lucas's forearms. His skin bulged as if his bones were trying to break free.\n\n\"Yeah!\" he snarled. \"Hurt me more. Is that all you got?\" His hand still locked on Daniel's throat, he pulled him up and smashed him onto the table again. \"Need some more?\" Daniel's face had grown bright red. Lucas jerked him up. \"Not done yet?\" He drove Daniel back down.\n\nWith a thunderous snap, the table broke in two. The two halves fell apart and Daniel crashed onto the floor, Lucas atop him, still crushing his windpipe. Daniel's feet drummed the ground. Veins bulged on his face, his skin turning magenta. His eyes rolled back into his skull.\n\n\"Here we go.\" Henry sighed. \"We lose all the good dishes this way.\" He showed Karina the bread basket. \"At least I saved the rolls. And don't worry, I'm keeping Emily asleep.\"\n\nLucas released Daniel. The blond man lay unmoving. Lucas stepped over him, his eyes blazing with fury. His gaze locked on her. \"Bedtime,\" Lucas growled and lunged at her. An unstoppable force swept Karina off her feet and she found herself slung over Lucas's back.\n\n\"Let me go!\" She struggled to pull free.\n\nHe swung around to face Henry. \"Leave the mess for when he wakes up.\"\n\n\"Will do.\" Henry saluted him with a roll.\n\nLucas headed out of the kitchen. Karina tried to grab onto the door frame, but her fingers slipped and she was carried through the darkness of the hallway to the bedroom.\n\n# **CHAPTER 5**\n\nThe room swung as Lucas slapped the door closed. Karina expected him to hurl her on the bed but he lowered her to the floor. She stumbled, dizzy from being spun back and forth, and scrambled to get away. Steely fingers caught her arm. He held on to her and sniffed at the sleeve of her sweatshirt. \"Green beans. You want a shower?\"\n\nHis tone was calm. She glanced at his face. All of the rage had gone out of him. He looked worn out, his fury muted to mere smoldering coals.\n\n\"Yes.\" She hesitated. \"I don't have any clean clothes.\"\n\n\"That's a problem,\" Lucas agreed. \"I'm sorry about the dinner.\"\n\n\"That's okay.\" His sudden calm threw her off balance. She stood still, expecting him to swing at her or maybe roar into her face.\n\nLucas reached into the dresser and pulled out a white T-shirt. \"That's the best I can do for now. I'll have something sent up from the main house in the morning.\"\n\nShe took the T-shirt. He didn't offer her any underwear. She would be naked under it.\n\n\"Come on.\" Lucas pulled off his shirt and dropped it on the floor. Carved muscle bunched on his back. Nude, clothed\u2014he could rape her at any point. Clothes wouldn't provide much of a defense.\n\nHe paused, his hand on the door of the bathroom. \"Are you coming?\"\n\n_Not if I can help it._ \"I'll wait until you're done.\"\n\n\"I'll be in here for hours,\" he said. \"The shower stall is enclosed. You can take your clothes off and I'll see nothing.\"\n\nFor hours . . . Why would he be in the bathroom for hours? \"I thought you needed to feed.\"\n\n\"I do, but I won't be feeding for a while.\"\n\nShe followed him, despite knowing better, eager for any crumb of information. \"How long is a while?\"\n\n\"Couple of weeks. Maybe longer. Depends on how quickly you deal with my venom.\"\n\n\"Why?\"\n\n\"Because too much of my toxin at once will kill you.\"\n\nShe remembered his explanation from the night before. \"You said your venom hurts you. Does it hurt now?\"\n\nHe nodded.\n\n\"Always?\"\n\nLucas looked at her. \"Always. Worse after I am injured and much worse after I phase out of the attack variant. Sometimes I have seizures after phasing out.\"\n\nIf he hurt always, he would have to feed always . . . \"How often do you . . .\"\n\nAs if reading her thoughts, he shrugged. \"Once the optimal ratio of my venom to your hormones is reached in my blood, I'll need to feed every three weeks to maintain it. I won't be drinking as much as the last time. Come on. You need a shower and I need to sit down.\"\n\nHe stepped out of her way. During the day she had used the bathroom in the hallway, near the kitchen. She had assumed this one would be the same.\n\nA room almost as big as the bedroom itself greeted her. A dark green hot tub was sunk into the sealed wooden floor. Beyond it a shower stall stretched the entire length of the wall. Its frame matched the hot tub, but the stall itself consisted of wide, dark green panels, either glass or plastic, thick and frosted from the inside. Lucas hadn't lied\u2014he might be able to discern her shadow, but that was about it. To the right was another stall, which she assumed hid the toilet, next to a large sink.\n\nLucas flipped a switch on the wall and the hot tub jets started, whipping the water into froth.\n\nThe shower called to Karina. To go on and disrobe while he was in the tub was insane, but she was covered in food and his scent from the previous night still stained her skin. She could wash him off.\n\nKarina bit her lip and slipped past Lucas to the shower. She closed the door and saw a latch. Relief flooded her. She could lock herself in and for a few minutes pretend she was safe. She slid the latch closed and almost cried.\n\nThe shower stall was divided into a dressing area and the shower itself, separated by a curtain. Karina dug into the pocket of her jeans and fished out the knife. The blade seemed so small compared to Lucas. If she stuck it into his back, he might not even notice. She put it on the small metal shelf next to the soap and, pulled off her clothes, dropping them into a rumpled pile on the bench. An array of shampoo bottles and soaps waited her selection. She took the bottle with the picture of a green apple on the side, picked up a bar of soap at random, and stepped into the shower. Jets surrounded her on three sides. She turned the big wheel of the faucet and a wide sheet of water spilled on her from above in a warm, soothing waterfall. She dropped the shampoo and the soap. All around her water sprayed and cascaded, drenching her, washing away the scent of warm copper. She stepped into the deluge, closed her eyes, and swayed.\n\n* * *\n\nLucas slid into the hot water. He liked it near scalding. It wasn't quite hot enough, but it was getting there. The currents pummeled his body. He switched the two nearest jets off. The sharp claws of pain that scraped his ribs dulled to a low ache as he healed. His right arm still throbbed. Daniel was getting stronger.\n\nOne day one of them would get careless and they might finish each other off. Lucas closed his eyes and submerged. There were worse ways to go than being killed by your brother.\n\nThe rage that had driven him these past few days was gone, burned out in an adrenaline rush of violence.\n\nHe came up for air and settled with his head on the ledge, positioned in the dip of the shelf, the only place he could sit with the water lapping at his neck.\n\nSo tired . . .\n\nThe healing was draining his inner resources and he felt thin and weak, as if all of his muscles were a threadbare shirt hanging off his bones. From here he could see the door and the shower stall. She was in there. Naked. Wet. A fruity synthetic scent teased him\u2014she was washing her hair. He pictured her body under the water, her hands sliding over her breasts and down . . .\n\nA dull thud made him lift his head. In the shower, a dark shadow slumped, pressed against the glass.\n\nIt had hit her finally. He'd waited the whole day for it.\n\nLucas climbed out of the hot tub. The shower-stall door was locked. He hit it with his palm and the lock popped open. Karina lay curled in a corner of the shower, a small wet clump. Her legs shivered. Her skin had gained a pale, almost gray tint. He scooped her off the floor.\n\n\"No,\" she stuttered. Her lips had turned blue. Not a good sign.\n\nHe bent down. She lashed out. He caught a glint of metal and pulled back, letting the knife blade miss him. Where had she even gotten one? Ah, yes. The kitchen. He plucked the knife out of her fingers and picked her up off the floor.\n\n\"No.\" She pushed against his chest.\n\n\"Shhh,\" he told her. \"I'm not going to hurt you.\"\n\nHe carried her out. Her wet skin was ice-cold against his.\n\nShe fought him even as he climbed into the tub and lowered her onto the shelf, sinking her up to her chin in the hot water. \"Let me go . . .\"\n\nAfraid to agitate her any further, he put the full width of the tub between them, giving her room. No need to strain her. If she passed out, the chances of her survival would drop to almost nothing.\n\nIt took a full three minutes before her teeth stopped chattering. She looked at him. \"Everything hurts.\"\n\n\"Your body is reacting to the venom,\" he said. \"Hot water will help. It soothes the muscles. It's normal.\" Technically everything he said was true. He just didn't go into the rest of the details. Not yet.\n\nA short bitter laugh slipped from her lips. \"Normal? Nothing about this is normal.\"\n\nTrue. Not for her anyway. For him, it was business as usual. \"Thirsty?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\nHe waded through the tub, reached for the small fridge beside it, and extracted a bottle of water.\n\nShe took the bottle, clamped the plastic cap in her teeth, twisted it off, and drank, draining nearly a third in a single long draft. _That's it . . . Drink, Karina._\n\nHe recalled Galatea's first time. She'd known exactly what would happen. She had been raised for precisely this purpose: to support him. And she loathed him for it. Hate would've been too personal of a word; he didn't rank that high in her mental roster. Galatea hated the family; she hated Arthur because he was in charge; but Lucas she merely despised, disgusted by his touch. The older he got, the more he realized that sex with him was her way of revenge. In feeding he dominated her and she had no choice but to submit. In bed, for a few fleeting moments Galatea dominated him. That first time, when she cried and screamed as her body struggled with its initial dose of his venom, he had tried to hold her. She was so pretty, so fragile . . . He didn't want to break her. She had sensed that small spark of compassion in him, clutched on to it, and twisted it, used it against him again and again, until finally he could stand it no longer. Living with Galatea meant fighting a constant war. Living with Karina so far was like sparring with an honest fighter. She defied him, but she would never stick a knife in his back. She would try to stab him in plain view.\n\nLucas sank down into the water and closed his eyes. Thinking about Galatea left a foul taste in his mind. His ribs ached again. Drowsiness came, threatening to smother his mind like a heavy blanket.\n\nKarina's voice tugged on him before he passed out. \"Why are you being nice to me?\"\n\n\"'Nice' isn't in my vocabulary. I'm just tired.\"\n\n\"Your ribs are bruised.\"\n\n\"Daniel.\"\n\n\"I didn't see him hit you.\"\n\n\"He doesn't have to. I'm a Demon, and he's an Acoustic. He can mimic voices and wrench the bones from my body with a focused sound wave.\" He raised his arms and stood up, showing her the long angry welts outlining his ribs. \"If he really pushed, you'd see bone shards puncturing the skin.\"\n\nShe stared at him in horrified silence. He sank back down and closed his eyes.\n\n\"Why do you fight like that?\" she asked.\n\n\"There's no single reason. Sometimes he doesn't like something I've done. Sometimes I do it because he annoys me.\"\n\n\"What about today?\"\n\nLucas sighed. She wouldn't let him be. \"Today we fought because Daniel argued with Arthur. Daniel wants to evacuate. Arthur doesn't. Daniel insisted and Arthur bruised his pride. I took Arthur's side. Evacuating the base is costly. One scout isn't reason enough to do it. It's a bad sign\u2014we had seen scouts before in the neighboring fragments, but never this close. But we can't just run at the first hint of trouble.\"\n\nShe frowned. \"So twisting bones out of your sockets is the way he demonstrates his displeasure at being pushed around?\"\n\n\"Pretty much. Daniel wants to be taken seriously. So I treated him as a serious threat and made a big production of it. I was a substitute fight. What he really wanted was a shot at Arthur, which I can't let him take, because Arthur will kill him.\" Lucas thought of leaving it at that, but something nagged him to explain. \"It's complicated. We live by different rules. In your other life, people undergo strict social conditioning that evolved over hundreds of years. They grow up in relative safety and under constant supervision. Parents, schools, peers\u2014all of their interactions fine-tune their behavior until they are . . .\"\n\n\"Safe?\" she suggested.\n\n\"Socialized. But Daniel and I grew up as outcasts, with only the extremes of our behavior corrected\u2014so we don't murder someone whenever the urge strikes us. Our interactions are simpler than yours, less layered and closer to . . .\" Lucas grappled for the right word. When it came to him, he didn't like it. \"Animals. Both of us reached sexual maturity a while ago. We have a strong urge to mate and have our own territory, our own families, and separate lives. Instead we're stuck with each other, in this house, with an illusion of privacy and an excess of aggression. And now there is you. Daniel doesn't really want you for your own sake. He wants you because he views me as competition and now I have something he doesn't. I am the only consequence he fears. He's hostile and defensive, and Arthur made him sit down and shut up today. Daniel had to vent and I'm the only one who would put up with it.\"\n\n\"Why?\" she asked softly.\n\n\"Because he is my brother.\"\n\nThere was a tiny pause. \"But he is not a Demon like you.\"\n\n\"Different fathers,\" he told her. \"All of us within the House of Daryon carry genes from many different subspecies. Our mother was a Demon. My father was a normal human. Daniel's father was a powerful Acoustic. We both played the genetic lottery and got different prizes.\"\n\nHe left out rape, imprisonment, and murder. It sounded much better this way.\n\n\"Did Daniel hoard food as a child?\"\n\nShe was perceptive. He would have to remember that. \"Yes.\"\n\n\"And you took care of him?\"\n\n\"Yes.\" Because nobody else would.\n\n\"Why doesn't he just leave?\" she asked. \"Why don't you? You don't seem to like living here.\"\n\n\"Because we have a job to do. We guard you from genocide.\" The mission overrode everything. A logical part of him assured Lucas that life outside of the original mandate existed. He just couldn't picture himself living it. \"As long as we exist, you survive.\"\n\n\"I don't understand.\"\n\nHe sighed. This was another long explanation and he had no energy for it today. Nor did he want to shock her again. She'd been through enough. \"Monsters exist. They call themselves Ordinators. They want to kill people like you. Normal ordinary people. We exist to keep them from succeeding. That's all there is to it.\"\n\n\"But what do they want?\"\n\n\"They want you to die.\"\n\n\"Why do they hate us so much?\"\n\nHe sighed. \"They don't hate you. They simply want you not to be. It's a genetic cleansing, a mass extermination. They view the current situation as a mistake, which they're trying to correct. They feel that they are ordained to take your place. Subspecies 61, the 'normal' human, has no value to them, except maybe as an occasional food source in a pinch.\"\n\n\"They're cannibals?\" Her voice spiked a little.\n\n\"Only some of them. I meant a food resource for their war animals. Do you know what a daeodon is?\"\n\n\"No.\"\n\n\"It's a nasty breed of entelodon, a prehistoric boar. Picture a predatory pig, twelve feet long, seven feet tall at the shoulder, jaws like a crocodile. It eats anything, and once you mess with its genetics, it gets smart and breeds fast. They need a lot of meat.\"\n\nWhen he opened his eyes, he found her looking at him. Karina sat submerged so deeply, only her face floated above the water. Warm color had returned to her cheeks. Her hair, slicked by the shower, swirled in the roiling water.\n\n_Mmmmm. Mine._\n\nLucas could reach out and pull her to him and run his hands up and down her body, to feel the heavy fullness of her breasts, the curve of her ass . . . If it wasn't for fatigue, and the fact that she trusted him, anchoring him to the spot, he might have done it.\n\nHis thoughts must've reflected on his face, because she pulled as far from him as the tub would allow. A haunted look claimed her face, sharpening her features. Like a stray dog, he thought, shivering, scared, and ready to bite. He held the key to her: turn it one way and break her; turn it the other and the pressure would ease. He'd been just like that a few years ago. The memory of being scared of everyone was still fresh.\n\n\"You know I can't stop you. What consequences do you fear?\" Karina asked.\n\n\"Right now I just don't want to fight with you,\" Lucas said. \"I fight with Arthur, with Daniel, with Henry. I'm tired.\" And he wanted her to stop jerking back every time he looked at her. It made him feel like he was a monster and he had enough help with that already.\n\n\"If you want peace, let me have Emily.\"\n\n\"No.\"\n\nShe clenched her teeth.\n\n\"Maybe later. Down the road.\"\n\n\"Why not now?\"\n\nIrritation flared in him. \"Because I can't watch the two of you every moment of every day and you are stealing knives.\"\n\n\"The knife was for protection. I won't take another one. I won't try to stab you again . . .\"\n\n\"It's not me I'm worried about.\"\n\nShe became utterly still. \"Oh, my God.\" Her eyes widened. \"You think I would hurt my own daughter?\"\n\n\"You wouldn't be the first one.\" Not by a long shot. \"Shock is a bitch. Especially when mixed with venom fucking with your hormones.\"\n\n\"She is everything I have.\"\n\nShe looked on the verge of tears. He forced himself to sound calmer. \"And that's why you could slit her throat the second I gave her to you. You're both my responsibility. I said I would keep you safe. I don't want you to hurt her or yourself.\"\n\n\"I had the knife since breakfast,\" she told him. \"You sent me into the room with Emily. I didn't kill her. If I'd tried, you couldn't have stopped me . . .\"\n\n\"Henry was monitoring your mind. Had your stress level spiked, he would've shut you down.\"\n\n\"Then ask him if I tried to kill her or myself. I had the opportunity. I got the knife so I could hurt you. Not myself.\"\n\nLucas rose and crossed the tub, pinning her between his body and the tub wall. The feel of her body against his shoved him right to the edge. In his mind all the leashes he put on himself were snapping one by one. Karina turned to the side, trying to hide from him.\n\n\"Look at me.\"\n\nKarina looked at him. Lucas peered into her eyes, looking for some sort of indicator of sanity. \"If you had a loaded gun in your hand, would you shoot me?\"\n\n\"No. If I killed you, I would be next. Either Daniel, Henry, or Arthur would murder me, and Emily would have nobody.\"\n\nAn honest rational answer. \"Do you want to die?\" He wanted her. He wanted to crush her in his arms and see her want him.\n\n\"No.\" She shook her head.\n\n\"What do you want?\" He knew what he wanted. She was right there, caught against his chest. His heart was beating too fast.\n\n\"I want to escape,\" she told him. \"I want to go back to my life.\"\n\nShe was sane and stable, or as sane as he could expect. Lucas released her and Karina scrambled away from him.\n\n\"What would you do if I let you have your daughter, Karina?\"\n\nShe stopped. He read the answer on her face. _Anything._ She would do anything. She would let _him_ do anything, and if he demanded, she would pretend to like it.\n\nIt was the answer his mother would've given.\n\n\"What do you want?\" she asked hoarsely. He felt the tension hidden in her words, as if she stood on the edge of a chasm, waiting for him to push her in.\n\n\"Can you bake a chocolate cake?\"\n\nThere was a tiny pause before she answered. \"Yes.\"\n\n\"Make one. For Daniel. It's his favorite.\"\n\nShe waited. When he didn't say anything, she finally asked, \"That's it?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\nLucas waited for relief on her face, but she just sat there, clenched up. Still looking for the catch, he realized.\n\n\"You'll really let me have her?\" He barely heard her voice. \"No conditions?\"\n\n\"Yes.\" And the more fool he for it. Nothing good would come of it, not with the way they fought. Henry would think him insane. But Lucas felt weary. He didn't have the strength to fight yet another war. And he didn't want her to be miserable. \"Make a list of what you both will need, and I'll send it to the main house tomorrow. Last time I checked, you could buy Hello Kitty blankets in any department store . . .\"\n\nKarina covered her face and cried.\n\nHe sat there and watched her shudder and sob, not knowing what to do with himself. Uncomfortable, as if he were intruding on something private. Guilt rose in him and he wasn't sure where it came from.\n\n\"Stop,\" Lucas growled finally.\n\n\"I can't.\"\n\nHer sobs died gradually. She splashed some water on her face. \"Can I stay with her in her room?\"\n\n\"No. You'll stay with me.\"\n\n\"Can I sleep on the floor?\"\n\n\"No. You'll sleep in my bed, just like last night.\"\n\n\"Why?\"\n\n_Because you're mine._ And because he would know if she got up in the middle of the night. \"Because I want it that way.\"\n\n\"I could\u2014\"\n\nHe closed his eyes and leaned his head back. \"Quiet. No more talking.\"\n\n\"Thank you,\" she said softly.\n\n\"You're welcome.\"\n\n# **CHAPTER 6**\n\nKarina awoke alone. She dimly recalled seeing Lucas get out of the water, his huge muscled body wet, and feeling a sharp inner clench, the same clench that gripped her when he'd caught her in the tub. She would've liked to pretend it was fear or anxiety, but that would mean lying to herself. When he rose to show her the bruises Daniel had made, she stared at him for a moment too long and it wasn't to study his injured ribs.\n\nLucas had brought her a towel and when he turned away, giving her a fragile illusion of privacy, she'd draped it around herself and escaped into the bedroom. He didn't follow her. She toweled off, slipped on the giant T-shirt he'd given her, and slid into bed, curling under the blanket into a worried ball. Her nervousness should've kept her awake, but her body simply gave out. Lucas took his time getting to bed and by the time he lay down on the other side, she was half asleep. He asked her something, but her feverish haze mugged her and dragged her under into a dreamless sleep.\n\nKarina struggled to sit up. She felt the steady heat of her slowly burning, low fever. At least she was alive. She forced herself all the way up. Her head swam and the dizziness nearly took her back down.\n\n_Up. Up, come on, you can do it._\n\nAnd now she was talking to herself. Outstanding.\n\nKarina walked to the shower, swaying on wobbling feet. She'd rinsed her underwear last night, and it still hung on the towel hook where she'd left it. Karina touched it. Dry. She slipped the panties on and went to use the bathroom.\n\nA couple of minutes later she made it to the sink. A new toothbrush, still in its case, waited for her. Karina stared at it.\n\nLucas hadn't kidnapped her. He hadn't forced her into human slavery at gunpoint. She'd been attacked by Rishe and the shark-toothed man, and she'd been given a choice: to die or to live on Lucas's terms. She was a victim of circumstance. That didn't change the fact that Lucas owned her now.\n\nThe House of Daryon had stripped every shred of independence from her. She depended on Lucas for everything: her food, her safety, her clothes, the safety and survival of her daughter. He had the power to tell her when to go to bed, where to sleep, when to shower . . . He was protecting her and Emily from some sort of terrible enemy she couldn't understand and he could kill them both at a moment's notice. Any relaxation of the rules became a kindness on his part. A small thing, like a toothbrush, seemed like some great favor. But it wasn't, she told herself. It wasn't. It was a basic necessity for any human being.\n\nThen again, she could've been a slave without any freedom at all. She could've lost her daughter. She could've been raped. All he had to do was say, \"I'll give you your daughter,\" and she would've done anything. The very fact that he thought to leave her a toothbrush was a small miracle.\n\nHer own drive to survive was interfering with her sense of reality. Her instincts drove her to forge an emotional bond. The more Lucas liked her, the less likely he was to murder her or Emily. The more she liked him . . .\n\nKarina took a deep breath. Lucas was physically overwhelming. The memory of his arms around her flashed before her. Lucas was . . . He was . . .\n\nShe stared at herself in the bathroom mirror. _Just say it. Say it, acknowledge it, and walk away from it._\n\nSeductive. Desirable. Shocking. He was masculine in the way women fantasized men to be: powerful, strong, dangerous. If she had met him at a party or in a professional setting, when he wore a suit and she wore something other than his T-shirt and a pair of underwear she'd washed in the shower, she would've sought him out. If he had spoken to her, she would've been flattered.\n\nFor a while, after Jonathan's death, she was so wrapped up in guilt, and in Emily's well-being, she forgot men existed. It took almost a year before she became aware of them again: a man with a nice smile in the checkout line, a random stranger in good shape stepping out of the car in the parking spot next to her. A small part of her wanted to be noticed again and checked to see if she was. She was vulnerable and the way Lucas looked at her left her no doubt that if she gave him the tiniest indication that she wanted him, he would rush to oblige and mow down whatever stood in his way.\n\nThere was an odd desperation in Lucas under all that violence. Karina sensed a deep overpowering need to be . . . not accepted exactly, but to be liked. If she were ruthless, she would seduce him to make sure he would become dependent on her, but that kind of manipulation was beyond her. She couldn't bring herself to do it.\n\nKarina looked at her reflection. She could practically see him in the mirror next to her. She could recall him with crystal clarity: every powerful line of his body; the promise of raw violence in the way he moved; the precise curve of his mouth, almost sardonic; the look in his eyes, the wild, unfiltered look of pure male lust. No, more than lust. Need.\n\nThinking of him was like playing with fire.\n\nShe had been married; she knew very well that a healthy relationship hinged on respect and constant compromise. With Lucas there could be no respect and no compromise, because they were not equals. He owned her. She was his property and once she opened the door to a relationship, he wouldn't let her close it.\n\nKarina shut her eyes. She could picture herself wrapped in those powerful arms. It would feel safe, so safe. Her life was broken like a mirror and the shards kept cutting her fingers. She was desperate to forget that she was little more than a slave. She craved that illusion of safety as if it were a drug and she had to score a hit. She wanted to feel the heat of his strong body warming her skin. And she wanted to see him bend, to find out what it would be like to see the vulnerability of intimacy in those hard eyes. She was completely powerless and she needed to feel powerful, as a woman does who is wanted so badly by a man, he would do anything for her.\n\nThere it was. All of it, out in the open.\n\n_You're sick_ , she told her reflection.\n\nWell, now it was out. She owned all of it.\n\nShe had to keep things in perspective. He was strong and she was weak and vulnerable and not in her right mind. She would take it one day at a time, wait until the last of the poison cleared out of her system, and when a chance to escape presented itself, she would take it\u2014and they would never find her and Emily again. And if she let herself buy into her own lies, she would never wonder what it would have been like to feel him inside her . . . She cut off that thought. The less she imagined it, the better.\n\nKarina opened the toothbrush. She would brush her teeth, locate her jeans, and check on her daughter. And then she would go out there and make a chocolate cake.\n\n* * *\n\nEmily seemed to have no memory of Lucas and Daniel's fight the previous night. She slept well and when Karina had come to get her, she got a hug. The violent episode had passed her daughter by completely. Karina held her for a long time, breathing in the scent of her hair. They were both alive. She would get to keep Emily with her. It would be okay. It would be hard and painful, but it would be okay.\n\nKarina took Emily to the kitchen. Sunlight poured in through the open window. Nobody waited for her. Nobody demanded breakfast. The house was quiet and serene. Karina exhaled her tension, pulled the ingredients from the pantry, and started mixing the cake batter.\n\nHenry walked into the kitchen, looking a bit lost. \"Good morning!\"\n\n\"Good morning!\" Emily chirped.\n\n\"I have something for you.\" Henry put a drawing pad and a set of watercolor pencils on the table.\n\n\"For me?\"\n\n\"For you.\"\n\nEmily pried at the pencil case.\n\n\"What do you say?\" Karina murmured on autopilot.\n\n\"Thank you!\"\n\n\"You're welcome.\" Henry offered her a small smile.\n\n\"Where is everyone?\"\n\n\"They've gone to check the perimeter net. What is it you're making?\"\n\nKarina glanced at him. \"A chocolate cake. Did they go to check for signs of those people who sent the lizards to spy on us?\"\n\nHenry nodded.\n\n\"Lucas called them Ordinators. Henry, who are they? Who are you?\"\n\nHenry smiled again and slid his glasses up his nose. \"It's a long and complicated explanation. It's better to wait a couple of days. Too much new information too fast will only make things worse.\"\n\n\"I'd like to know.\"\n\nHe shook his head. \"You've been through a great deal of violence in the past two days and you've been exposed to things that conflict with your worldview. I don't want to be the one to add to it.\"\n\n\"Henry, not knowing is worse. All I'm asking is that you don't treat me like a slave who is told where to be and what to do and isn't owed any explanation.\"\n\n\"No,\" he said quietly.\n\nThey looked at each other over the table. Karina held his gaze. It might not have been wise, but she wouldn't back down now.\n\n\"Look, Mom, I drew Cedric!\"\n\nKarina looked down at the ball of brown fluff that looked like a sheep with a sabertooth's fangs. \"That's looks very nice, Emily.\"\n\nWhen she looked up, the kitchen was empty. Henry had escaped.\n\n* * *\n\nThe cake smelled of chocolate and vanilla. When Karina took the two round pans out of the oven and set them out to cool, the familiar scents floated through the kitchen, so reminiscent of home and happy times, she almost cried.\n\nA door banged. She looked up just in time to see Lucas loom in the doorway. His face was grim. He glanced at the cake, then at her. She stared back, suddenly terrified that all her thoughts would pour out through her eyes.\n\nHe didn't seem to notice. \"Would you like new clothes?\"\n\n\"Yes.\" Oh, God, yes.\n\nHe jerked his head toward the door. \"They have some things prepared for you at the main house. I didn't know what size, so you have to come and try them on. Come on, I'll walk with you.\"\n\n\"Can I come?\" Emily slid off the chair.\n\n\"Yes,\" Lucas said. \"They have clothes for you, too.\"\n\n\"And Cedric?\"\n\n\"Cedric doesn't need clothes,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"Can he come with us?\" Karina asked.\n\n\"Sure.\"\n\nKarina washed her hands, wiped them on a towel, and followed Lucas out. The sun shone bright. Cedric already waited for them at the foot of the stairs. Emily stepped down and the bear-dog rolled to his feet and trotted next to her, nearly as tall as she was.\n\nLucas led them out of the yard and down a dirt path. It wound around the hill, flanked on the left by stunted oaks and shrubs climbing up the slope and rolling off to the prairie on the right. Cedric and Emily pulled ahead a couple dozen yards. Karina watched them, aware of Lucas striding next to her, like some tiger who had learned to walk upright. The air was dry, and the heat beat down on them from the pale, burned-out sky, painting the path in stripes of bright yellow sunshine.\n\n\"We're in a fragment of reality,\" Karina said.\n\n\"Yes,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"Why is the sun shining? Why is there air?\"\n\n\"Because the fluctuation occurs on the universal level,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"So it's a duplicate sun?\"\n\n\"No, it's the same sun the Earth has. We just get access to it on a different level. Think of a house with many rooms. We walked out of the main room into a smaller side bedroom, but we're still under the same roof.\"\n\nKarina sighed. \"It makes my head hurt.\"\n\n\"Don't talk about dimensions to any Rippers, then,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"Rippers?\"\n\n\"They make inter-dimensional rents that let people like you and me travel back and forth. You get one of them started on the subject and the insanity pours out until you want to stick your head in a bucket of water just to wash it out of your mind. When a man has to continuously cut himself, because pain helps him punch through dimensions, you can't expect him to be lucid anyway.\"\n\nKarina glanced at him. \"You seem irritated.\"\n\nLucas's thick black eyebrows knitted together. \"We found out how the lizard got through the net. It tunneled under it. A long, deep tunnel, almost twenty-five meters.\"\n\n\"And?\"\n\n\"There was more than one tunnel,\" Lucas said.\n\nMore than one tunnel meant other lizards. \"Did you track them down?\"\n\nLucas nodded.\n\n\"Did they transmit what they saw?\"\n\nAnother nod.\n\n\"So the enemy knows where we are?\"\n\nLucas grimaced. \"Difficult to say. The Rippers are saying there was too much inter-dimensional interference for the transmission to have gone through fully. But it's possible.\" He clenched his teeth, pondering something, and said, \"We had perimeter alarms, infrared, microwave, and frequency sensors. The sensors are very specific: if you look on Cedric's collar, you'll see a transmitter. The transmitter broadcasts a code. The sensors check this code against the database and if the code is active, the sensors don't register an alarm. For some reason someone loaded an old set of codes into the system. The lizards came through fitted with transmitters of their own and when they broadcast the outdated set of codes, the system didn't flag them.\"\n\n\"How did they know which codes to load?\"\n\nLucas's eyes turned darker. \"There was a woman. Galatea. She was a donor like you.\"\n\nHe said her name like she was a plague. \"Was she your donor?\"\n\n\"Yes. She defected.\"\n\nHe'd clenched his teeth again. There was more to this story. \"Were you lovers?\"\n\nLucas stopped and for a moment she thought she might have pushed him too far. \"We fucked,\" he said.\n\nAha. She kept pushing. \"For how long?\"\n\nThere was a short pause before he answered. \"For four years.\"\n\n\"That's some long fucking,\" Karina said. He'd loved Galatea. He was in love, and she betrayed him, and now he wanted to kill her. Any woman past the age of fifteen would've connected these dots. He must've been young\u2014it had obviously left a deep scar. \"What was she like?\"\n\nLucas took a step toward her. A wild thing looked back at her from his eyes, the thing full of lust and aggression. She realized that in his mind he was peeling off her clothes and thinking of what it would be like, and suddenly she was back in the tub, naked, sitting two feet away from him and afraid he would cross the distance.\n\nHe stared at her. \"Would you like me to tell you about it?\"\n\nShe squared her shoulders. \"No.\"\n\n\"Are you sure?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"Okay, then.\"\n\nHe turned and they sped up to narrow the gap between themselves and Emily. Karina kept the pace, exhaling quietly. He had no brakes, at least not the ones she was used to as a woman. Ordinary men didn't end dinners by breaking the table with their brother's spine, they didn't kill lizards by caving their heads in, they didn't turn into monsters, and they didn't feed on women. Ordinary men didn't behave like this outside of movie screens and when they did it on the screen, other men ridiculed them for it. This was a game she couldn't afford to play, because he held the best cards. She had to survive this.\n\nKarina chanced a glance at him. The wild, hungry thing in his eyes was still there. \"Since someone had to have uploaded this old code, someone on the inside is helping Galatea,\" she said, trying to steer him away from whatever he was thinking.\n\n\"Looks that way. And when I find them, they'll wish they were never born.\" His voice contained so much malice, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up.\n\nIf this enemy was coming, Emily would be in danger. \"Should we evacuate?\"\n\n\"That's up to Arthur.\"\n\n\"Do you think we should?\"\n\nLucas glanced at her. \"It depends on how many people they bring to the fight. This is an old base, and we are actively mining this fragment for aluminum and beryllium. If the Ordinators are coming, they're coming fast. So even if we begin full base evacuation now, we'll take a hit in equipment. The base is run by means of a fiber network. It's a sophisticated computer system that coordinates mining operations, bio-support, communications, and so on. It also has the locations of the nearest bases. If the Ordinators gain access to it, a lot of us will die, which is why the network must be destroyed before the evacuation is complete. Detonating it will make this base uninhabitable. Fragments like this, with a stable climate and ecosystem, are rare. Most fragments we find are dead: no plants, no animals, often no atmosphere. You have to wear a suit and live in a hermetically sealed bunker. And popping back and forth through dimensions leaves a trail. If the Ordinators don't know where we are, they will once we start ripping.\"\n\nThe path ended, joining a larger road that rolled down the hill toward the prairie. In the distance a group of small horses galloped across the grass, ducking in and out of the brush. The vast prairie rolled to the towering mountain ridge, savage and ancient and somehow so much bigger than the modern landscape, that for a moment Karina stopped and simply stared, caught by the natural majesty of it.\n\n\"This is paradise compared to some of the fragments I've seen,\" Lucas said. \"If we have a chance, we'll fight for it. Come on.\"\n\nHe turned and strode up the hill. She sped up to keep pace, Emily and Cedric in tow.\n\nThey rounded a bend and suddenly before them stood two tall white columns marking an entrance. Thrusting twenty feet up, they curved like the ribs of some prehistoric giant. An intricate network of designs covered the columns, etched into their surface. It drew the eye, hypnotic in its complexity. Once you looked, your gaze just kept sliding and sliding, up along the grooves and curved lines . . .\n\nA hand rested on her shoulder. Karina turned, saw Lucas's fingers on her shoulder, and jerked away. He held his hand in empty air for a second and lowered it.\n\nKarina turned to Emily. Her daughter stood next to her, staring at the column, her expression blank.\n\n\"Come,\" Lucas said.\n\nKarina bent down and took Emily's hand. \"Come on, baby.\"\n\nEmily blinked, as if waking up from a deep sleep, and walked with her. They passed through the arches and Karina stopped again.\n\nPale buildings with curved roofs spread before her. On second thought, the complex was all one huge building in the shape of a horseshoe, rising three stories high. A beautiful garden lay in the crook of the horseshoe, crisscrossed by covered passageways, stonelined paths, and lush flowerbeds, artfully bordering artificial ponds. Picturesque shrubs spread their branches. Flowers bloomed, blue, orange, yellow . . . The wind brought the by-now-familiar tart flower scent.\n\nA large white sign stood next to the wide path leading into the garden, its smooth surface marked with an odd script. It had to be writing of some sort\u2014groups of symbols separated by spaces\u2014but it wasn't any language Karina was familiar with.\n\n\"What does it say?\"\n\nA string of odd words spilled from Lucas's lips, lyrical and surprisingly familiar. She waited for the meaning.\n\n\"It says 'The Mandate is everything.' \"\n\n\"What is the Mandate?\"\n\n\"The Original Mandate. It's hard to explain in English. There is a word in the primary language, _ile_. It means 'we,' 'us,' but it also means civilization, the best of us, the best of our kind. The mandate is ' _Ile_ must survive.'\"\n\nThat explained nothing. \"That's it?\"\n\n\"That's it. On this world, under this set of circumstances, the people among whom you lived are _ile_. We exist to make sure they survive. When we're no longer needed, we'll die out like many other subspecies before us.\"\n\nThe more he explained things, the more confused she became. For now she had to just gather the crumbs of information and hope all would make sense sooner or later.\n\nLucas walked on, down the wide path of smooth stones. Karina scrambled to follow. They walked side by side along the path and over a bridge. The gardens burrowed into nooks in the buildings here and there, forming small sitting areas. To the left two women sat on a bench, discussing something. They looked so normal. Both wore jeans; the older of the pair had on a flowered top, white on blue; the younger woman wore a familiar yellow blouse\u2014Karina had looked at it in J. C. Penney last week.\n\nLast week. A lifetime ago.\n\nThe women saw Lucas. Their faces took on a certain tightness, as if they were straining to keep calm. They looked her over next. Karina met their gaze and saw pity in their eyes. Suddenly it made her furious. If Lucas grabbed her throat right now, they wouldn't lift a finger to help her. They would just sit there and watch him choke her to death and feel sorry for her. She raised her chin and stared at Lucas's back. No, thank you. She didn't need anyone's pity.\n\nHenry's words came back to her. _Lucas is the most feared._ \"They're afraid of you,\" she said.\n\n\"I'm the security specialist here; I have the right of judgment,\" he said. \"I can kill anyone on base at any point without any retribution.\"\n\n\"You protect them, and all you get in return is fear. Why do you keep doing this?\"\n\nLucas kept walking. \"Because everyone must have a purpose. The Mandate tells me what I am doing is right and must be done and because I'm the biggest and the strongest it's my duty to put myself between my people and danger. I would do it for you.\"\n\nHe would. She believed him. \"Lucas . . .\"\n\n\"Yes?\"\n\nShe wanted to tell him that if he ever shielded her or Emily, she wouldn't be afraid of him. She wanted to tell him that he didn't have to put up with people shrinking away from him, but inside a cold rational voice warned her that she was losing her grip on reality. The plan had to be to escape. The plan couldn't be to fall for Lucas and be that one sole person who comforted him.\n\nHe was looking at her.\n\n\"I'm really confused right now,\" she told him. \"So this actually doesn't mean anything.\"\n\nHe nodded. \"Okay.\"\n\n\"Bend your arm at the elbow.\"\n\nHe did. Karina reached out. _What am I doing?_ She put her hand on his forearm and raised her chin. The two women on the bench stared at them, openmouthed.\n\n\"Now we walk,\" she murmured, avoiding looking at him.\n\n\"We can do that,\" he agreed. They started down the walkway. His arm was rock-steady under her fingers. A few moments, and the dense greenery of rhododendron shrubs hid the women from their view.\n\n\"Why?\" he asked.\n\nBecause she lost it, that's why. \"Would you hurt those two women?\"\n\n\"Not unless they tried to hurt someone else first.\"\n\n\"Then they're in no danger and they know it, but they still make a big production out of you walking by, minding your own business.\"\n\n\"That still doesn't answer my question,\" he said.\n\n\"Can we stop talking about this?\"\n\nHe didn't say anything. They simply kept walking. It was surreal, Karina reflected. Beautiful flowers, Emily and a tame bear-dog, and she and Lucas striding side by side.\n\n\"I'm tired,\" Emily said.\n\nKarina bent down and picked her up. The effort nearly made her lose her balance. Apparently she was weaker than she thought.\n\nCedric sniffed at her feet.\n\n\"Let her ride him,\" Lucas offered.\n\n\"What?\"\n\n\"Let her ride him. He doesn't mind.\"\n\n\"I want to ride!\" Emily squirmed in her arms.\n\nKarina surveyed the bear-dog. He was almost as big as a pony. Gingerly she lowered Emily on his back.\n\n\"Hold on to his fur,\" Lucas said. Emily dug her fingers into Cedric's brown mane and they were off again.\n\nThey emerged from the stand of rhododendrons. Lucas stepped aside, revealing a round plaza paved with dark red stone. A bronze statue rose in the center, a nude man, muscled with crisp precision. Enormous wings thrust from his shoulders. An angel, but not a garden cupid or some mournful cemetery statue. The angel leaned forward, one arm stretched out, his muscles knotted on his frame. The wings thrust up and out, featherless, as if made of sharp bone. The angel's perfect face stared into the distance, its gaze focused. Everything about it communicated fury and power. This was a predatory being about to kill its victim. Metal letters beveled on the side of the statue read \"A. Rodin.\"\n\nKarina glanced at Lucas. \"A. Rodin? The sculptor who created _The Thinker_?\"\n\nLucas shrugged. \"He says so, but I wouldn't put it past him to have the name slapped on there over the actual sculptor's signature. He is vain enough.\"\n\nWhat? He who? She scrutinized the statue.\n\nOh, God.\n\nThe angel wore Arthur's face. It had to be figurative\u2014she hadn't seen any wings on Arthur's back when he offered her tea.\n\n\"But Rodin died in the beginning of the last century.\"\n\nLucas circled the statue and kept walking.\n\n\"Lucas!\"\n\nHe turned and looked at her over his shoulder, light eyes under black eyebrows like two chunks of ice. \"Arthur is a Wither. Subspecies 21. They live a long time.\"\n\n\"How long?\"\n\n\"Long enough to have met Rodin. Come.\"\n\nShe wanted to freak out. She wanted to scream and kick her feet in panic, because right here, in cold bronze, was the final proof that this was not a nightmare. Instead Karina waved Cedric ahead of her and they kept going deeper into the garden.\n\nLucas turned left, down a path leading to a section of the building structured with an almost Japanese flair. Except for the white roof, it could've been part of a teahouse. An older woman waited on the covered porch, a stack of clothes neatly folded next to her.\n\nThey were twenty feet away from the porch when the siren ripped the quiet into shreds.\n\n# **CHAPTER 7**\n\nKarina pulled Emily off the bear-dog and into her arms.\n\n\"Stay close,\" Lucas barked as he turned and ran back up the path. She followed him, trying not to stumble. They pounded over the bridge they'd crossed on the way in.\n\n\"What's happening, Mommy?\"\n\n\"I don't know, baby. Hold on tight.\"\n\nEmily was so heavy. Karina never remembered her being that heavy. It was like all of the strength had somehow gone out of her arms.\n\nThey cleared the garden and burst into the open space between the two spires, Lucas ahead and she, out of breath, a few dozen yards behind. A group of people stood by the spires, where the road out of the settlement rolled down the hill. A familiar face looked at her with merciless sky eyes. Arthur. Daniel's golden mane swung into view. He grinned at her, a deranged wild grin that had too much mirth. On the periphery a few yards away, Henry stood with his eyes closed, tense, his face raised to the sky. A young girl, barely a teenager, stood next to him in an identical pose. To the right an older, dark-skinned woman and another man, tall and gaunt, imitated them.\n\n\"Good of you to join us,\" Arthur said.\n\nLucas walked up to stand next to him.\n\nA huge sound came from the distance, deep, booming, as if someone was playing a foghorn like a trumpet.\n\nThe girl at Henry's side inhaled sharply and dropped to her knees, breathing in ragged, painful gasps. Henry's eyes snapped open. He thrust his hand out and clenched it into a fist. \"Oh no, you don't.\"\n\nA desperate scream of pure pain came from the distance.\n\nHenry smiled. His face glowed with vicious joy, so shocking that Karina took a step back. He stared into the distance. \"Not as fun to pick on someone your own size?\"\n\nThe scream kept ringing higher and higher, pausing for the mere fraction of a second that it took the agonized being that was making it to gulp some air.\n\nBehind Henry the fallen girl opened her eyes and rose to her feet. The older couple awakened from their trance.\n\nHenry twisted his fist and jerked it, as if ripping something in half.\n\nThe scream died.\n\n\"Thank you,\" the girl said.\n\n\"It's all right. Next time remember to cloak.\" Henry turned to Arthur. \"They have two hundred civs, fifty pigs, two heavy field artillery batteries, six squads of twenty-five men each, and seven Mind Benders. Minus one.\"\n\nHe'd killed an enemy Mind Bender, Karina realized. Kind, shy Henry crushed him, but not before he made him suffer.\n\n\"Too many,\" someone muttered.\n\n\"It's overkill,\" Daniel said.\n\n\"There is at least one Demon, too,\" Henry said.\n\nLucas laughed, a bitter, self-assured chuckle.\n\nThey had a Demon like Lucas. Lucas would fight it. She saw it in his face. She didn't want him to die.\n\nSomething climbed over the crest of the distant hill, spilling onto the prairie. Karina squinted. What in the world . . .\n\nArthur's face remained serene. \"Begin immediate full base evacuation.\"\n\nA dark-haired woman on Karina's left held out binoculars to her. \"Here. Looks like I won't need them.\"\n\n\"Thank you.\" Karina lowered Emily to the ground and took the binoculars. \"Stay with me, baby.\"\n\nThe woman turned and ran, back toward the garden. A moment later the alarm sounded again, but this time in two short bursts.\n\nPeople peeled off from the group and headed back, deeper into the base. Now was her chance. If she could slip away and go through the gate, she could get away. Nobody would find her in the confusion . . .\n\n\"Lady Karina,\" Arthur's voice rang out.\n\nShe snapped back to look at him.\n\nThe gaze of his blue eyes bore into her. \"Stay close. We must hold until the evacuation is complete. Lucas may have need of your services.\"\n\nHis voice was soft but his eyes left her no doubt\u2014he knew what she was thinking and escape was futile.\n\nArthur turned and looked out to the plain. She looked, too, raising the binoculars to her eyes. The mountains swung into view, suddenly clear. She tilted the binoculars lower . . .\n\nPeople came walking over the hill. To the right a middle-aged man in filthy khakis and a ripped shirt with thin blue stripes climbed over a rock. Next to him two dark-skinned men in jeans helped a third limp forward. On the left a woman in business clothes walked on, stumbling. The binoculars captured her face. Her features, caked with grime and dust, twisted into an expression of abject terror.\n\nKarina inhaled sharply. A red-haired teenage girl followed the woman. Her ruffled black skirt hung limply around her skinny legs in torn stockings. She shuddered as she walked and Karina realized she was sobbing.\n\nKarina jerked the binoculars down. \"There are people out there!\"\n\n\"They are captives,\" Lucas said. \"People the Ordinators snatched up here and there, the missing. The pigs are running them at the net. It's designed to stop high-impact projectiles, but if enough body mass hits it at once, it will overload and collapse.\"\n\nThe memory of the bird shocked by that red glow flashed before her. \"They will die!\"\n\n\"That's the idea,\" Daniel said. \"They're trying to break through before we have a chance to detonate the network.\"\n\n\"Can't they just use a tank or a vehicle?\"\n\n\"The net would fry it,\" Lucas said grimly. \"Biomass is the best way to go.\"\n\nThe people on the right broke into a run. Karina raised the binoculars.\n\nA creature bounded over the hill. Huge and brown, it looked like a seven-foot-tall boar moving too fast on surprisingly long and skinny legs. The pig paused. Its long crocodilian jaws gaped open, flashing fangs as large as her fingers, wider, wider, until the pig's entire head seemed to split in half. A hoarse roar burst forth. The daeodon.\n\nThe people in front of the creature scattered like minnows, sprinting across the rough ground toward the net in a ragged herd, a blond man in a once white tank top leading the run. The daeodon roared again and gave chase.\n\nOn the left, a second pig crested the hill, sending another group of prisoners into flight. An older man in a torn flannel shirt stumbled and fell, splaying in the dirt. The pig bore down on him. The long jaws dipped down. A shriek rang out, vibrating with the sheer terror of a man who knew his life was ending, and vanished, cut off in midnote.\n\nOn the right, the blond man ran headfirst into the net and jerked, caught by a deep carmine glow. His body convulsed, his legs and arms flailing, as if he were being shocked by a live wire. The man directly behind him tried to slow down, but his momentum carried him right into the red glow and he shook, caught in a similar seizure.\n\nKarina whipped to Lucas. \"Can't you do something? Anything? They're dying!\"\n\n\"We can give them a quick death once they break through,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"But . . .\"\n\n\"Lucas is correct,\" Arthur said. \"We will spare them the pain.\"\n\nThe air around Arthur shimmered. People backed away. He bowed his head and stood very still.\n\nOn the prairie, the prisoners tried to swerve away from the red glow, but the pigs drove them forward. One by one the bodies crashed into the net. Karina turned Emily around. \"Don't look, baby.\"\n\n\"What are they doing?\"\n\n_Lie_ , she told herself. _Lie._ But the words spilled out on their own. \"They are dying, Emily.\"\n\n\"Why?\"\n\n\"Because the bad guys are killing them.\"\n\n\"Are the bad guys going to get us?\"\n\n\"No, little one,\" Henry said. \"Arthur and Lucas will kill them.\"\n\nThe red glow bent forward under the weight of many bodies, and still more people were coming across the prairie, herded by the daeodons like sheep. Arthur didn't move. His eyes stared into the distance, somewhere far away.\n\n\"How long till the detonation?\" Lucas asked.\n\nHenry closed his eyes and opened them. \"Three minutes.\"\n\nLucas rolled his head right, then left, cracking his neck.\n\nWith a bright flash the net collapsed under the weight of the bodies. People fell into the gap, tumbling over each other, convulsing on the ground. The four huge pigs who'd herded them to the net galloped into the gap, trampling the bodies beneath their hooves. The daeodons charged up the slope.\n\nLucas grunted. His skin seemed to peel off his bones in thick slabs. Bloody mist filled the air. Karina stared, unable to look away. Bones bent, ligaments twisted, and the beast burst forth. It was bigger than she remembered. In her memory, he had morphed into a dark, featureless shadow, but here, in the light of day, she saw every bulge of terrifying muscle, every fang, every sickle claw, every hair in the black crest of his mane.\n\nFear washed over her, setting every nerve on fire.\n\nThe beast turned his head. Lucas's green eyes looked at her from a horrid face.\n\n_Don't flinch,_ she told herself. He was about to fight for them. He could die in the next few moments. She didn't want him to go into it thinking she was disgusted by what he was. Whatever Lucas's faults were, he was about to put himself between the pigs and her daughter. He deserved better than the blind fear the two women in the garden showed him.\n\nShe met his gaze. They looked at each other.\n\n\"Good luck,\" she said.\n\nThe daeodons roared, pounding up the slope.\n\nThe beast who was Lucas nodded to her, leaped down, and smashed into the first pig. His claws sliced across the daeodon's neck and it went down. Lucas swerved away from the gaping jaws, leaped onto the second daeodon, and thrust his claws through the brown hide and wrenched a bloody shard of its spine out.\n\nThe third pig halted, unsure. The fourth veered left, around the carnage, and charged up the hill, digging into the hard dirt with its hooves.\n\nKarina clenched Emily closer. Her instinct told her to run, but around her nobody moved.\n\nTwenty yards. Fifteen. Ten.\n\nDaniel stepped forward and clenched his fist. With a dry crunch, the bones of the pigs' front legs snapped. White bone sliced through the muscles and skin. The pig squealed, crashed on its side, and rolled down the hill. Lucas rose from the body of the third pig, leaped over the fallen daeodon as it tumbled down, and smashed its skull with one brutal punch.\n\n\"Are we in a story, Mommy?\"\n\nKarina looked down into Emily's big brown eyes. _I wish we were. I wish we were dreaming._ She reached deep inside herself, through the fear and anxiety and disbelief, and when she spoke, her voice was calm and confident. \"It will be okay, baby. We will be just fine.\"\n\nMore daeodons spilled from the prairie, dashing toward the base; so many, she couldn't even count. A huge beast led the charge. He looked just like Lucas, except for the reddish fur. The red beast sprinted, widening the distance between himself and the mass of daeodons, moving in powerful leaps that devoured the prairie.\n\nLucas backed two steps up the slope and planted his giant feet.\n\nThe beast thundered at them, hurtling like a cannonball. It jumped and sailed over the mass of writhing human bodies.\n\nLucas leaped. The two monsters collided in midair and Karina realized that Lucas was visibly smaller. They rolled down the hill, snarling and tearing at each other like two massive feral cats.\n\nThe larger beast raked Lucas's side. Blood wet the dirt in a hot spray.\n\nKarina spun to Daniel. \"Help him!\"\n\n\"I can't,\" he growled. \"I need a clear target.\"\n\nThe beasts brawled and snapped, biting and ripping in a tornado of claws and teeth.\n\nThe alarm blared again, this time a single long note followed by a short beep. Daniel whirled to an older woman standing next to him. She was short and plump, with an elaborate knot of tiny braids on her head. Her gray pantsuit was pristine, her makeup flawless. She looked like a secretary or a receptionist for an upscale business firm.\n\n\"Rip it,\" Daniel said. \"Now.\"\n\nThe woman pulled a knife out of her pantsuit, jerked the sleeve back, and slashed a gash across her skin. Blood welled. The pain must've been excruciating, because she bent nearly double, cradling her arm.\n\nAt the bottom of the hill, the larger beast hurled Lucas aside. He flew, flipped in the air, and landed on all fours. Blood streamed from his flanks. The two creatures squared off and collided again.\n\nThe woman straightened. A pale green glow burst from her stomach, twisting into thin strands of light. The strands snapped out, flared, and split the empty air in half. A seven-foot circle appeared, filled with darkness.\n\n_So that's what the dimensional rip looks like._\n\nArthur raised his head.\n\nThe ground shook under his feet. Tiny rocks bounced up and down. The vibration pounded the bottoms of Karina's shoes.\n\n\"Lucas! End it!\" Daniel screamed. \"End it now!\"\n\nThe reddish beast leaped, striking with an enormous paw, claws out like daggers. Lucas spun, rolling to the side, inhumanely fast. The large beast landed in the dirt. The moment his paws touched the ground, Lucas vaulted onto his back. Huge teeth flashed and he clamped onto the rival beast's neck. The creature screamed, kicking and trying to roll. Two beasts plunged down.\n\nKarina held her breath.\n\nThe black beast rose, slowly.\n\nShe exhaled.\n\nLucas pondered the body of his fallen opponent as if he wasn't sure where he was or what he was doing there. Behind him, the captives, caught between him and the sea of pigs, scrambled to their feet.\n\nThe vibration below the surface increased, hitting Karina's feet like the blow of an underground hammer. Tiny red sparks flickered around Arthur.\n\n\"Hurry,\" Henry whispered next to her. His gaze was fixed on Lucas, his voice an insistent low whisper, almost a command. \"Hurry.\"\n\nLucas jerked. His head snapped up. He saw them and bounded up the hill.\n\nThe sparks around Arthur danced faster. Arthur's feet left the ground. He rose three feet into the air, his body tense, looking down at the prairie stretching before him.\n\nOh, God.\n\nThe beast reached the apex of the hill, crashed down in a sickening revolt of flesh, and rose again, as Lucas, bloody and shaking. He shuddered on his feet, careened, and Karina caught him. For a moment his entire weight rested on her. She looked into his eyes and saw pain. And then Daniel pulled him off her and dragged him forward to the rip.\n\nIn the distance the foghorn blared frantically. The daeodons closed in. Karina swept Emily into her arms.\n\nHenry wrapped his arm around her. \"We must go. You don't want to see this.\"\n\nThey hurried to the rent. She looked back over her shoulder, as if pulled by some invisible force. The sparks darting around Arthur's shoulders paused. For a fraction of a breath they hung motionless, then blinked, then sparked into brilliant light. Red radiance burst from Arthur's shoulders in twin streams, boiling with flashes of white and orange, unfurling into two enormous wings knitted of lightning.\n\n\"Come on.\" Henry pulled her toward the rip. It loomed before them, lightless and frightening, a hole in reality itself.\n\nThe red lightning flashed. The front row of captives fell to their knees. Fire spilled from their eyes and mouths, as if they were being incinerated from the inside out. Their faces turned to ash. The second row followed and on and on and on . . . Jets of flames spurted from the ground. The whole hill quaked as if caught in the grip of a powerful earthquake.\n\n_Oh, dear God. So that's what a Wither does . . ._\n\n\"Now!\" Henry barked.\n\nKarina took a deep breath, cradled Emily, and stepped into the darkness.\n\n* * *\n\nIt was like being underwater. As if she were walking through a flooded tunnel of crystal-clear liquid filled with sunlight. Her body was very light, almost weightless. It lasted a lifetime or a single moment\u2014Karina couldn't tell\u2014and then she stepped onto beige carpet.\n\nFor a second she was afraid to move, afraid to do anything, and then she remembered to breathe. The air tasted sweet.\n\nEmily looked at her, blinking.\n\n\"Are you okay?\" Karina whispered, her voice strained.\n\nEmily stirred. \"I know!\"\n\n\"Know what, Emily?\"\n\n\"Mom, I know, I know! I am the Courageous Princess. Like in the comic book.\"\n\nKarina exhaled and hugged her. For some reason, she wanted to cry.\n\nThey stood in a foyer. There were people around her, both men and women. In front of her a glass wall guarded a conference room, a long black table with matching chairs; and beyond that a floor-to-ceiling window offered a view of an evening city from above, lit up with electric lights. They had to be on the twentieth floor.\n\nThey had gotten away.\n\nIn her mind the bodies still burned, vomiting fire and ashes. What the hell was Arthur? What were all of them?\n\n\"We shouldn't be here,\" Henry said next to her, his voice vibrating with alarm. \"This is wrong.\"\n\nA woman behind her snarled. \"The fucking Ripper dropped us into the wrong base.\"\n\nA soft thud made her turn. Lucas crashed onto the carpet and Daniel tried to pick him up. Lucas's eyes were closed. He looked so pale, his skin had gained an almost greenish tint.\n\nShe set Emily down and knelt by him, sliding her hand on his forehead. His skin was cold, almost clammy. Blood clung to his rib cage and a big purple bruise stained the right side of his stomach. He looked like he was dying. The heavy metallic scent rolled off him, so thick she almost choked. He wasn't just hungry for her blood. He was starving for it and he hurt.\n\n\"What's wrong?\"\n\n\"Too much venom,\" Daniel spat out. \"He shouldn't have phased into the attack variant so soon after the last fight.\"\n\nArthur stepped onto the carpet out of thin air. \"He will be fine.\"\n\nA grimace skewed Daniel's face, stretching his scar. He looked like a rabid dog. \"We should've evacuated yesterday. You overwork him. You know he needs at least two weeks between phasings, but you counted on him to save your ass anyway, because you knew he would do it. Look at him. Look at him, Arthur. He's dying from the venom.\"\n\nArthur glanced at the skyline. \"Not now, Daniel. Where is the Ripper?\"\n\n\"You are a fucking asshole!\"\n\nHenry closed his eyes and opened them. \"She isn't in the building.\"\n\n\"Daniel, stop your hysterics and search the building . . .\"\n\n\"Fuck you!\"\n\n\"Will the two of you shut up?\" Lucas said. His eyes were still closed. A shudder gripped him. He arched his back, his heels digging into the carpet, his arms rigid, his massive body straining against the pain.\n\nIdiots. Karina wrapped her arms around Lucas, trying to hold him down, but it was like trying to hold down a bull. \"We need something for his mouth. He's grinding his teeth.\"\n\n\"Vault, now,\" Arthur snapped. \"Pick him up.\"\n\nPeople swarmed Lucas, brushing her away. He lashed out, convulsing, throwing a man aside like a rag doll. They pulled Lucas up and dragged him down the hall.\n\nArthur bent down, grasped her by the elbow, and pulled her to her feet. \"Come with us.\"\n\n\"My daughter . . .\"\n\nArthur's fingers clenched her arm like a vise. He pulled her down the hallway, after the clump of people trying to move the convulsing Lucas forward.\n\nEmily ran after her. \"Mommy!\"\n\nKarina jerked. \"Let go of me! You're scaring her!\"\n\n\"Do you want your daughter to live?\" Arthur asked.\n\n\"Yes!\" Bastard.\n\n\"Then do as you're told.\"\n\nThey were almost to the end of the tunnel. Something swung open with a heavy metallic sound. Karina caught a glimpse of a huge vault door standing ajar. The people carrying Lucas ducked into the round opening and parted, and Karina saw a room beyond the door. It lay empty and the light of the white fluorescent lamps reflected off the metal floor and walls.\n\nThey would put her into the vault with him. Lucas hurt so badly, he was convulsing. He required her blood and he'd rip her to pieces to get it. If she crossed that threshold, she would die.\n\n\"Mommy!\"\n\nShe dug her heels in. \"Emily!\"\n\nHenry picked Emily up. \"It's okay, little one.\"\n\n\"You agreed to the contract,\" Arthur said. \"Time to honor it. Get in there and do whatever you have to do to keep him alive.\"\n\nIf she didn't go in, they would throw her in. She heard it in Arthur's voice.\n\nKarina jerked her arm out of his hand. \"Take care of my baby, Henry.\"\n\n\"I will,\" he promised.\n\nKarina took a deep breath and walked inside.\n\n\"No sudden movements,\" Henry called out.\n\nThe door behind her clanged shut.\n\n# **CHAPTER 8**\n\nLucas curled into a ball on the floor. The pain scoured the inside of his spine as if someone were scraping his vertebrae with steel wool. It stretched in tight strings through his ligaments; it pooled in his joints, in his fingertips, under his tongue. He felt it in his teeth. It ground him like a grain of wheat between two millstones.\n\nHis ears caught the sound of approaching steps.\n\nHe forced his eyes open.\n\nKarina knelt by him. He inhaled her scent and felt it spark a deep, angry hunger inside him. She pulled him like a magnet. His body screamed for her blood and the end of the pain. Tearing into her would be bliss.\n\nShe was rolling up her sleeve. Her lips were pinched together.\n\nHe had to speak now. It hurt and he was tired, but he managed. \"Don't.\"\n\n\"Arthur said you had to feed.\"\n\n\"Arthur is a sick fuck. I told you that.\"\n\n\"I can smell you,\" she said. \"You need to feed.\"\n\n\"If I feed now, you'll die.\"\n\n\"If you don't, you will, and then they'll kill Emily.\"\n\nAh. For a second he thought she had felt sorry for him, but no. \"Nobody will touch Emily. And I'm not dying. Just hurting.\"\n\n\"You look awful.\" He heard a soft note in her voice. In spite of everything, she cared a little bit. He would take that. That was more than he usually got from anyone.\n\nShe hadn't shied back when he phased. Her knees had trembled but she didn't flinch. For that he was grateful.\n\nKarina brushed the grime off his face, her eyes kind, her voice gentle. \"Lucas, don't be an idiot. Feed. It will make you feel better.\"\n\n\"The pain isn't fatal. It will pass. You'll need all of your blood before long.\"\n\nShe pulled back. \"What does that mean?\"\n\n\"Do you have a fever?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"Tired?\"\n\n\"Yes. Lucas, what is happening to me?\"\n\nHe almost told her the truth. \"I told you before, you're reacting to the venom.\"\n\nThe ache had burrowed deep into the base of his spine. Lucas forced himself to turn, trying to shift his weight, and it exploded into a blinding white, mind-numbing haze, twisting his limbs. Like being punched in the mouth by a star. He passed out.\n\nWhen he awoke, her scent was everywhere. The hunger stirred inside him, demanding. Lucas clenched his teeth and felt a light touch on his cheek. His eyes snapped open. She was sitting next to him, her back resting against the wall.\n\n\"How long was I out?\"\n\n\"Maybe a minute or two.\"\n\n\"Try to time the next one. I need to know if they're getting shorter.\"\n\n\"Is there anything else I can do?\"\n\nThe ache rolled back at him. \"Talk to me.\"\n\n\"About what?\"\n\n\"You never did tell me exactly why Emily hoards food.\"\n\nShe sighed and brushed the brown lock of hair from her face. \"It happened after Jonathan died.\"\n\n\"Your husband?\"\n\n\"Yes. I don't want to talk about it.\"\n\n\"Why?\"\n\nShe met his gaze. \"Because then you will know things about me.\"\n\n\"And that would be bad?\" Lucas asked.\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\nNow he wanted to know more.\n\n\"Does it hurt to be the beast?\" she asked.\n\n\"No. Phasing is like being a superhero. I'm faster, stronger. Everything is sharper. There are no consequences. I can let myself off the leash. But my attack variant's venom is toxic to my human phase variant. Turning back into a man is a bitch.\"\n\nA small tremor shook his legs. Lucas grunted and closed his eyes, trying to will the pain away.\n\n\"How long will we be locked in here?\"\n\n\"Until I pull through. Hours. Arthur is trying to keep me safe. I'm an asset and I'm rare and difficult to replace. We shouldn't have come here, to this building.\" The words came slowly. \"This base is not secure. We rent five floors here. We don't own the buildings and don't control access to it.\"\n\nKarina bent down, looking closer into his eyes. Tiny red rosettes marked the skin on her cheeks and forehead. Her own transformation was closing in. Shit. He hoped she would have another day. He didn't want her to phase here, in the vault, without medical help, without Henry to keep her calm. She could die and he wanted her to live. He had to heal fast.\n\n_Heal,_ Lucas willed in his mind. _Heal._\n\nThe pain exploded in a white burst and dragged him under.\n\nWhen the light faded he heard her voice, soothing, calm, warm. Like sitting back in the hot tub, soaking his exhausted body while she floated nearby. \". . . met in college. Jonathan was handsome. Funny. His father was the CFO for Drivers Company. It's a big insurance company in the Southwest. Brian's very driven, very conscious about his appearance. Brooks Brothers suits, expensive watch, a new BMW every couple of years. He and Lynda had Jonathan when they were much older, in their forties. Jonathan could do no wrong. He was their golden child. Good at sports, good at academics. He was easygoing and charming. The perfect son.\"\n\nShe leaned her head against the wall. He moved closer to her and rested the back of his head on her ankle. She let him do it. From here he could see her face. He could touch her hand. Lucas closed his eyes and let himself sink into her voice.\n\n\"Things always went Jonathan's way. I used to watch a cartoon when I was younger. Two mice were living in a lab, and one was very smart and the other one was a knucklehead. So every night the knucklehead mouse, Pinky, would ask the smart mouse, 'And what are we going to do today, Brain?' And Brain would say, 'Try to take over the world!' And Pinky would get all excited. See, Brain was serious. He was trying to take over the world. But to Pinky it was all a big game. That's kind of how Jonathan was. The world was his huge playground and every day he'd play at taking it over. Some days he was an athlete; other days he was a student. When we met, he was finishing his MBA and I was getting my bachelor's in accounting. My parents had died in a car accident when I was a senior in high school. I had just turned eighteen when they passed.\"\n\n\"I'm sorry,\" Lucas said and meant it.\n\n\"Thank you. They left me just enough money to get me through college and I had to work to feed myself. Before they died, I wanted to go into art history.\" She laughed a little, a bitter, quiet sound. \"I wanted to be an art appraiser. You know, the person who examines art for auctions and museums to determine if it's authentic. I always thought it would be so neat. But I was on my own then, so I went into accounting instead. It seemed . . . sensible. I was trying to be sensible. To have some structure. And then Jonathan shot into my world like a comet. He could make anything seem exciting. He made things fun. His parents were always very formal with me. I don't think they ever understood why he liked me, but Jonathan picked me and he could do no wrong.\"\n\nHe very badly wanted to murder Jonathan.\n\n\"It was great at first. Jonathan's father's connections got him a position in a private equity firm. During the day he got to play a businessman and during the night he got to play a husband. And then Emily was born. Well, you've seen her.\"\n\n\"She is pretty,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"She is. Jonathan loved her. It was yet another new game: being a dad. He used to show her off like a cute purebred puppy.\" She sighed again. \"I should've seen it then. Anyway, everything was great for a few years and then the bottom fell out of the economy. Suddenly it wasn't fun anymore.\"\n\n\"The party was over,\" Lucas guessed.\n\n\"Yes. Jonathan had to start working for his living and buckle down, or the firm would cut him loose. I worked, too, and we were doing okay, but we had to mind our p's and q's and Jonathan didn't want to be bogged down with details. We used to have the stupidest conversations. He couldn't understand why he couldn't drop thirty grand on a membership at a country club. It's like his brain couldn't digest the concept of a budget. I mean, the man had a master's degree in business management, for crying out loud.\" Her voice rose too high and Karina fell silent.\n\n\"What happened?\" he prompted.\n\n\"Finally he decided he was tired of playing with us. He started sending me these long rambling e-mails about how he felt constrained and unhappy and about the need to find himself. He wanted to live fully, he said. To find the zest in life. At first I was concerned, then I thought he was cheating, but he wasn't. It's not like we were ever on the verge of bankruptcy. We just couldn't do exciting things anymore, like ordering champagne for the entire bar. I offered to move; he didn't want to do it. No solution I suggested was good enough. He tortured me like that for about four months. In the end I didn't even care anymore. I should've fought harder maybe, but I remember one of my friends calling and telling me she saw Jonathan at her office party without me, and you know what I thought?\"\n\nShe paused. Her dark eyes were huge on her pretty face. \"I thought, 'Good. Maybe he'll meet someone and I can divorce him.' That's an awful thing to think about your husband. That's when I knew the marriage was over. We were heading downhill, except there was Emily. How do you explain to a four-year-old that Daddy decided he doesn't want her anymore because he needs to go find himself? So I spoke to his parents. I thought maybe they would talk some sense into him.\"\n\nLucas grimaced. \"You said he could do no wrong.\"\n\n\"Yes, it was stupid, but I was desperate. They called him over to have a heart-to-heart. Jonathan took me out to dinner at the end of the week. I knew something was up; I could just tell. It wasn't a date. He told me he had filed for divorce. He had no problem paying me alimony, and I could retain all my parental rights.\"\n\nA shadow passed over her face. She seemed small all of a sudden.\n\n\"We were in the car, going to pick up Emily from the sitter's. We were fighting about his generosity in regard to my 'parental rights.' \" Her voice dripped with bitterness. \"He wanted to leave and stay gone. I insisted that Emily needed a father and he couldn't just take off. He was mad. He told me that everyone had a right to be happy. He wanted to be free of me and Emily but he didn't want to be judged for it. And then, all of a sudden, he lost consciousness. It was like someone had flipped a switch. We shot into the opposing lane. I remember headlights. I woke up in the hospital.\"\n\nShe fell silent. \"He had a stroke,\" Karina said finally in a flat voice. \"He had fibromuscular dysplasia. Nobody knew. He was healthy as a horse, played racquetball, and then he just died. It was touch and go for me for a little while but I bounced back. I was in the hospital for two weeks. Emily had to stay with his parents. They didn't feed her.\"\n\n\"What?\"\n\n\"Brian, Jonathan's father, always eats out. When Jonathan died, he spent all his time at a country club. He said it was his way to cope. Lynda is in her seventies. She has a touch of dementia. All she did was eat candy all day, but she wouldn't give Emily any\u2014it would ruin her teeth. She would forget to give Emily lunch, and when she did remember to feed her, she would either try to cook and burn it or she'd give Emily food that had been in the fridge for so long, it wasn't just moldy, it was blooming.\"\n\nShe was crying, not from pity but from anger. There were no tears, but he heard it in Karina's voice, hidden behind the flat tone.\n\n\"They had a bowl of nuts set out and Emily told me she would pretend to fall asleep and then sneak out and steal them. When I got out of the hospital, she was six pounds lighter. She barely weighs anything as it is. So now you know why she hoards food. She was terrified, her father had just died, her mother was in the hospital, and her own grandparents wouldn't feed her. I told Arthur she doesn't have anyone except me. I meant it. We are not welcome at that house. They blame me and Emily for Jonathan's stroke. We made his life so difficult, he died to escape.\"\n\nThe red rosettes on her face were turning darker. Karina touched her hand to her forehead and looked at it. Her eyes widened. She rubbed his forearm.\n\n\"This is another reaction to the venom?\"\n\n\"Mmhh-hhm,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"I told you my story. Tell me yours now. It's fair.\"\n\n\"What do you want to know?\" he asked, wondering what she would think if she looked inside his mind and saw him strangling her husband.\n\n\"Who are you? All of you. Who are you really? I need to know what's happening to me.\"\n\nLucas sighed.\n\n* * *\n\nShe had told him too much, Karina decided. As much as she wanted for it to be a bribe, a down payment for the information he held, at least in part she told him what she did because he was lying beside her, bruised, beat up, bloody, and hurting. He needed a distraction and she had enough compassion to give him one. But she hadn't meant to pour her heart out. It just happened. He was in pain, and although she had the means to ease his suffering, he refused to feed, because he didn't want to hurt her. He wasn't willing to trade his pain for hers. The least she could do was talk and try to distract him.\n\nKarina reached over and touched his hand. His fingers closed on hers. Lucas glanced at her, surprised. They had that in common now\u2014both of them treated any act of kindness with suspicion. She didn't expect kindness anymore, except from him. But she was an outsider. He wasn't.\n\n\"There are no scared women here to watch us,\" he told her.\n\n\"It was never for them. It was for you.\"\n\nShe almost cried and couldn't even understand why. It was the stress, Karina told herself. The trauma of watching hundreds of people die at once. And the fever, which kept rising and rising. Her breath felt hot when she exhaled. Her skin was dry and too tight. And now there were rings of red dots all over her arms.\n\nShe had never told the entire story of her marriage to anyone. _It's the fever. Of course it is._\n\nLucas was looking at her. Sprawled like that, even battered, he looked enormous. If a week ago someone had told her she would be locked in a vault with a nude, bloody man who was trying his best not to devour her to stop his pain, she would've dialed 911 to report a lunatic running amok.\n\n\"I'm going to tell you a story,\" Lucas said. His voice was laced with fatigue. \"You can choose to believe it or not. It can be the truth or just a story. It's your choice.\"\n\n\"Okay.\"\n\nLucas closed his eyes. \"Suppose there is a civilization. A powerful country. It has taken over all of its available territory, but it knows that it must expand. It must continue to grow outward, or it will rot and collapse. This civilization sends colonists out to explore new territories. They find fertile lands and colonize them. When they succeed, they let the knowledge of the large civilization fade. The small colonies grow and prosper on their own, and when they develop enough, they rediscover their mother civilization and rejuvenate it with their unique achievements.\"\n\nHe glanced at her.\n\n\"Okay,\" Karina said. \"I can see how that would happen.\"\n\n\"Suppose a new island was found for colonization. An island with an abundant ecosphere and great resources. The civilization had done this many times before and they had developed a protocol. The colony ships arrived and the colonists created thirteen small settlements, Houses, one for each colony ship.\n\n\"Genetically, all the colonists belonged to the Base Strain. It's a very stable breed of human, long-lived, resistant to diseases, armed with superior DNA repair mechanisms to counteract mutation. To successfully colonize a new environment, a species must adapt to it. To facilitate this adaptation, most of the colonists were exposed to an agent inhibiting their cellular and DNA repair and vulnerability to native viruses.\"\n\n\"They deliberately made their people weaker? How does that make sense?\"\n\n\"They didn't just want a colony,\" Lucas said. \"They wanted a unique colony, perfectly in tune with this new island. That's how the civilization kept itself from stagnation. The colonists wanted an explosion of mutations in the future generations, and they needed a shorter life span and faster sexual maturity to pass the new changes on to their offspring. That's why scientists experiment on mice: they breed quickly and don't live very long. The shorter life span goes hand in hand with faster sexual maturity. But it also brings negative anthropological consequences: immaturity, inability to pass on knowledge, loss of ethics and culture, and so on. These consequences were considered acceptable. The colony had to develop on its own without the knowledge of its origin anyway. The sooner people forgot where they came from, the better. A small group of the colonists remained as Base Strain for control purposes. They lived in the settlements, the Houses, and monitored the whole thing. With me?\"\n\nSort of. \"Go on.\"\n\n\"Mutations bloomed. A succession of several dozen subspecies of human followed. Some subspecies developed variations, people with similar powers or physiology. Subspecies 29 showed all of the adaptations necessary for survival, but all eight of its types were plagued by sensitivity to heat and alarmingly low fertility. Subspecies 44, type 3, produced exceptional Mind Benders, who were prone to insanity.\"\n\n\"Is that what Henry is?\"\n\nLucas nodded.\n\n\"We're not talking about islands, are we?\"\n\n\"Some say islands,\" Lucas said. \"Some say planets. It's just a story.\"\n\nA story, right. \"Aliens.\" She stared at him. \"Are you trying to tell me that all of us are aliens?\"\n\nLucas sighed. \"You could say that. You could also say that once the planet shaped us and twisted our DNA, we are now just as native as anybody else.\"\n\n\"What about Subspecies 30?\" _What about you?_\n\nLucas's eyes fixed on her. \"Subspecies 30, types 1 through 5, otherwise known as Demons. A venomous, carnivorous, predatory variant of human with the ability to drastically alter its morphology. They were powerful, aggressive, territorial, and they dominated their point of origin for a few hundred years, hunting in small packs, but this subspecies was not viable long term. They were crippled because their bodies couldn't produce a set of small molecules necessary for their survival, so they had to cannibalize other humans to get it.\"\n\n\"Cannibalize?\"\n\n\"At that point the various subspecies of human had only a rudimentary language and no memory of where they came from,\" Lucas said. \"No ethics, no morals, nothing. They were forming fledgling societies and 'might is right' was the law. If I need your blood, and there is nothing in my upbringing or experience that tells me I shouldn't, why wouldn't I kill you and eat your flesh? Being a nice guy is a modern concept.\"\n\nHe was serious. He was actually serious.\n\n\"Should I keep going?\" he asked.\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"This went on for hundreds of years. The small remaining pockets of Base Strain, the original colonists, kept as a control group, meticulously documented all of it from their Houses. They didn't interfere. They just cataloged what occurred.\n\n\"Then suddenly Subspecies 48 popped on the scene. The Rippers had a fatal vulnerability to cancers but also the ability to rupture holes in reality, accessing dimensional fragments. This was a new development, unknown to the colonists, and nobody knew what to do about it. Some Houses took Ripper children and raised them within the settlements to study them.\n\n\"The mutations bloomed and bloomed, until one subspecies emerged as best adapted. It did well in almost every climate. It reproduced quickly, showed mental agility, and demonstrated decent DNA repair. At approximately six thousand planetary cycles, Subspecies 61 was declared viable. The colonists had done their job: they had created the type of human with the best ability to survive and prosper. Now nature needed to take over. All support for other strains ceased, as dictated by the Original Mandate. _Ile_ must survive. Subspecies 61 became _ile_. Everyone else needed to die to make room.\"\n\n\"Subspecies 61. Humans,\" Karina guessed. \"Us.\"\n\n\"No,\" Lucas said. \"Them. Your neighbors, your friends. But not you.\"\n\nHer fever was now so high, she was freezing and melting at the same time. \"You said them, not me. What do you mean, not me?\"\n\n\"I'm getting to that. Other subspecies were dying out, while Subspecies 61 went on to multiply and claim the island.\"\n\n\"The planet.\" Karina didn't need him to keep babying her.\n\n\"The planet,\" he agreed. \"The colony cities began to gradually phase out their technology. They were letting themselves disappear. But there was a protocol breach at one of the cities, as a result of which Subspecies 29, the one that had trouble with heat, discovered where they came from.\"\n\n\"What do you mean?\"\n\nLucas sighed. \"I mean that the scientists at the Mare House fucked up. Subspecies 29 produced several unusually smart children. A sudden explosion of kids with genius-level intelligence was rare and odd, so the idiots thought it would be a good idea to study them further. They extracted these children and raised them within Mare with the full knowledge of their history. Well, the kids grew up and decided they didn't want to go gently into that good night while some other breed of human took over.\n\n\"There was a quiet coup. By the time it was discovered, Strain 29 and their captive personnel had genetically corrected their shortcomings. Now they had no trouble with heat and they bred like rabbits. They decided that they were more viable than Strain 61. They, not humans, were _ile._ A mistake was made and they decided it had to be corrected. They were ordained to take over the Earth.\"\n\nNow it made sense. \"They became the Ordinators?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"So this is it? They've been trying to kill us off for thousands of years?\"\n\n\"More or less. They went to war, using the colonists' original technology. The other cities opposed them, but they were weak by that point and in the process of dissolving themselves, so they plucked people from different strains with combat potential. The Ordinators were broken and would've been wiped out, except they acquired Rippers and began hopping through dimensional fragments. Eventually, so did we.\n\n\"Strain 61, the _ile_ humans, was reproducing too quickly, and their numbers grew too numerous. They saw us and started forming religions and folklore. We had to disappear.\"\n\n\"So this is how it is,\" Karina said.\n\nHe nodded. \"People like me have been keeping the Ordinators at bay for over thirty thousand years. Occasionally they break through with a new weapon. Sometimes it's a virus that kills the food supply. Sometimes it's bubonic plague. Sometimes they find a way to fiddle with the climate. The problem is that the Ordinators breed faster than us, they're better organized, and their job is easier: it's much simpler to destroy something than to protect it.\n\n\"There were thirteen Houses, one for each landing site. They have one House, the House of Mare. There are probably between one and two hundred thousand of them. We are the soldiers of the remaining twelve Houses. There are maybe fifty thousand of us. We crossbreed and have children with weird powers instead of dying out the way we should. This is the planet where everything went wrong. As humanity moves closer and closer to interstellar space flight, the Ordinators are getting desperate, because once we reconnect with the root civilization, it's all over for them. They abandoned the original mandate and they will be exterminated. They're attacking with everything they've got and we're losing the fight.\"\n\nShe stared at him. \"And where do I fit in?\"\n\nHe took her hand and squeezed it gently. \"You know why my people died out?\"\n\n\"Because their own venom poisoned them?\" Karina said.\n\n\"That. But also because the colonists had done some projections. It was decided that if we were allowed to exist, we would destroy the other subspecies and then die out before reaching the level of medical sophistication necessary to fix our defect. They poisoned us, wiped out the entire species almost completely. They were right\u2014even now the synthetic substitutes are just a Band-Aid. See, if we could've overcome this handicap, they would've let us murder everyone else, but the problem is that only one very specific subspecies produces the hormones we need. The Base Strain. The donors. The ones who gave rise to all of us.\"\n\nShe jerked her hand back. \"You mean I am a descendant of the original colonists?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"That's not possible.\"\n\n\"It is. Your type has a remarkably stable genome.\"\n\n\"But my parents were normal people!\"\n\n\"They may not have known who they were. Maybe only one of them was a donor. A donor and Subspecies 61 will produce donor offspring.\"\n\n\"But what about this?\" She held out her arms, speckled with brilliant red. \"Explain this!\"\n\nLucas sat up. \"When I fed on you, the mutation agent entered your bloodstream. In normal humans the mutation agent has grown weak over the generations. But I am carrying a near-full dose and I gave it to you during the feeding. You are changing.\"\n\n\"Into what?!\"\n\n\"I don't know. I don't know what's in your DNA besides the donor genes. The mutation agent is an inhibitor. It will release the brakes within your body, short-circuiting your DNA repair, and let you develop into something that's already there in your genotype, acquired over the centuries of crossbreeding with different human subspecies but suppressed. You could become Subspecies 61, but I doubt it. Chances are, it will be one of our subspecies instead.\"\n\nThey had taken her freedom, her home, and her dignity, and now they were taking away her body. \"No! No, I am not doing it! I won't! You hear me?\" Karina surged to her feet. She managed two steps. Pain shot up through her bones. She cried out. The world went red and she crashed onto the floor.\n\n* * *\n\nIt hurt. It hurt more than any pain she could remember. At first she begged, then she prayed, then she screamed and whimpered, squeezing her eyes shut, opening them again, glimpsing Lucas's face against the harsh light of the vault, and then sinking into more pain. If only she could pass out completely and be done with it, but no, every time she tried, he shook her back, into the place of hurt.\n\n\"Come on, stay with me. Stay awake. Snap out of it.\"\n\n\"Let me be,\" she snarled.\n\n\"You pass out, you die. Come on. Stay with me.\"\n\n\"I hate you! You did this to me!\"\n\n\"That's right,\" Lucas snarled right back. \"Hate me. Fight with me. Stay awake. You die, Emily will be alone. You don't want to leave your daughter with an asshole like me.\"\n\nShe just wanted the torture to stop.\n\nAnother bout of agony rocked her. When it was over, she was so tired, she could barely breathe.\n\n\"The other woman . . .\" Karina whispered. Forcing the words out felt like trying to swallow glass. \"Did she have to do this?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"Did you kidnap her, too?\"\n\n\"No.\" Lucas gathered her closer, holding her against him. \"She was one of us. Her family were donors of Daryon.\"\n\n\"Did she hurt, too?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\nLucas's eyes were so dark, they seemed almost brown.\n\n\"Tell me about her.\" She wasn't sure why she wanted to know, but she did.\n\n\"She was very smart. And she looked beautiful. Very graceful, fragile, elegant.\"\n\n\"Not like me, then?\" Nobody would call her fragile. Or elegant, for that matter.\n\n\"Nothing like you,\" he told her quietly.\n\nThe agony burned through her in a crippling spasm. \"Why does it sound like a compliment?\"\n\n\"Because she only looked beautiful. In our world nobody has the luxury of doing nothing,\" he said. \"Everyone has a function. I protect. Someone else oversees mining. Someone else oversees stocks and finances. Galatea's family had only one function: to provide Base Strain to the House. For that they were sheltered, fed, and protected. Galatea never worked a day in her life.\"\n\n\"Must be nice,\" Karina whispered.\n\n\"She didn't think so. She wanted the mutating agent.\"\n\n\"She wanted this? Why?\"\n\n\"Power,\" Lucas said. \"She thought she would become something much more prized than a donor and she would be free of me. Her father was my first donor. She wasn't supposed to become one, but he died, and she had to take his place. She thought I was an animal. She was convinced that once I fed, she would become a Ripper and could use it as leverage to be free of me.\"\n\n\"What did she become?\"\n\n\"An Electric. She senses electric currents. It's not an uncommon subspecies. A lot of technicians come from it.\"\n\n\"Uh-oh,\" Karina managed. Her lips were so dry, but there was no water. \"Let me guess: it was your fault, right?\"\n\nHe nodded. \"It was everyone's fault. She used to scream and throw fits, and then she wanted to fuck and she wanted me to beg for it. I was young and stupid. She was older, smarter, and beautiful.\"\n\nKarina raised her hand and touched his haggard face. \"You loved her.\"\n\n\"Yes. And I was so dumb, I thought it was enough. That's why I let it go that far. She once told me that we, the House, had stolen her life. She wanted to stroll the streets of London, visit the Tate Modern, go to concerts in Royal Albert Hall. I offered to take her. She told me that it wouldn't be the same. My presence would poison London for her.\"\n\n\"She sounds charming,\" Karina managed.\n\n\"I am what I am,\" Lucas said. \"No illusions. Life with me is hard, but she made a personal hell for me and her. I wasn't the one who started sex, but I finished it. I dealt with it for four years and when I turned twenty-two, I decided I was done. I went on synthetics and told Arthur to find her a different place. He transferred her to a technical work crew. She tried to stab me with a knife when she found out. Galatea was never fond of getting her hands dirty. Three months later, during an attack, she disappeared. The next time Henry sensed her presence, we ran into the Ordinators.\"\n\n\"She betrayed you.\"\n\n\"Yes, she did.\" Lucas shifted her carefully. \"And now you know the whole story.\"\n\n\"Do you miss her?\" she asked.\n\nHe peered at her face. \"How did you know?\"\n\n\"I miss my husband,\" she whispered. \"I don't blame you, you know.\"\n\n\"For what?\"\n\n\"For any of it. For the motel, for the feeding, for this.\" Karina tried to swallow the pain away, but it remained. She wouldn't make it. She could feel death crouching just a few feet away. \"Lucas, you're not a bad person. You have no idea how scary you are, but you're kind and patient. If things were different . . . It has to start right . . . And we just can't, because I would never be more than a slave and you would always own me. Please take care of Emily for me. Don't let anyone hurt her. She's a great kid.\"\n\nHe didn't answer. He just held her.\n\n* * *\n\nKarina awoke slowly. Within her body, the pain subsided, gradually, like a receding tide, fighting for every step of its retreat.\n\nShe opened her eyes and saw Lucas's neck. Her face was buried in it.\n\nHe was kneeling on the floor, looking up. She was wrapped in his arms.\n\nHer voice shook. \"Why are you holding me?\"\n\nLucas turned to look at her. His face was too close to hers. \"I didn't want you to die alone on the floor.\"\n\nShe said things. Stupid, stupid things. Maybe it was a dream. His eyes assured her that it wasn't.\n\n\"Please put me down.\"\n\nHe let her go slowly. Karina slid down onto her knees and sat clumsily on the floor. Her legs shook a little. She felt light, so light and cold. \"Is my change over?\"\n\n\"Yes,\" he said.\n\nShe had survived. \"I don't feel any different.\"\n\n\"The change isn't always obvious. Something will trigger it sooner or later.\" He was looking up again. She glanced up, too, and saw a monitor in the ceiling. It showed an empty hallway.\n\nA man in dark clothes darted across the hallway, brandishing a machine gun, and hid behind the wall.\n\n\"We're being attacked,\" Lucas said. His voice was calm, almost casual.\n\n\"How is that possible?\" Emily. Henry had her. If they were being attacked, her daughter would be in danger.\n\nMore people flickered past on the screen.\n\n\"The Ripper must have been an Ordinator mole,\" Lucas said. \"We should've gone to a ranch in Montana\u2014that's our evacuation route from that base. Instead we're in Detroit. This building is nearly abandoned; only the bottom three floors and the top five\u2014those are ours\u2014are operational. The blocks in a one-mile radius around it are basically deserted. We're sitting ducks here.\"\n\n\"Why didn't Arthur evacuate us?\"\n\n\"I don't know,\" Lucas said. \"The Ordinators likely blocked the exits. We landed into a trap.\" His face was dark. \"Our best chance is to stay here.\"\n\nNo. No, she had to go and find Emily. \"Why?\"\n\n\"I'm at my limit. Normally I would be drugged and sleeping this off for the next two or three days until my body came to terms with my venom. I could barely hold you. Most likely Arthur has sent for reinforcements. The vault is solid and must be opened from the inside. It will take them several hours to get through the door, so it's likely they won't bother with us right away. By the time they get around to it, we might be reinforced. Our best bet is to stay here and wait it out. We probably die either way, but here we have more of a chance. Especially if we're quiet.\"\n\n\"You have to let me out.\"\n\nHe looked at her, obviously trying to decide if she was crazy. She had to convince him she wasn't.\n\n\"Henry has Emily,\" she said. \"She's out there somewhere.\" Out in an abandoned building full of people with guns and God knows what sort of weird powers.\n\nLucas looked at her for a long moment.\n\n\"I have to find her, Lucas. You don't have to come with me. All I ask is that you help me open the door, because I don't know how. I'll find her myself.\"\n\n* * *\n\nLucas looked at the door. If they opened the vault, he would walk out of it a dead man. She stood before him, her eyes huge and brimming with worry. She just wanted her little girl back and she didn't understand how far gone he was or how many enemies they would face.\n\nEveryone dies, Lucas reflected. He'd been a selfish bastard all of his life. If he walked out of that door and died helping her find her child, at least he'd die doing something worthwhile, not cowering like a dog in the vault, waiting to be gunned down.\n\nAnd she couldn't go out there alone. She would be dead in minutes.\n\nHe sighed, rose, and stepped to the wall. Karina clenched her hands. She couldn't read his face. He touched it and a section of it slid open, revealing a number keypad and a small speaker. His fingers played with the keys. \"Cousin?\" Lucas said softly.\n\nA faint hiss of static issued from the wall, then Henry's faint voice came through. \"Lucas. Red, gray, seven, pinned.\"\n\nLucas grimaced. \"Is the little girl with you?\"\n\n\"Yes. Black.\"\n\n\"How bad?\"\n\n\"I'll live.\"\n\n\"Don't move. I'm coming to get you.\"\n\n\"That's unwise,\" Henry said.\n\nLucas slid the panel back in place. \"He is two floors below us. He's been shot. Emily is okay; he is keeping her under. He can't move because it's too dangerous and he is cloaking, which makes him harder to find, but they will locate him eventually. The moment we leave this vault, you and I must fight to survive. Remember how you tried to cut me with your knife?\"\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"Find that woman and be her.\"\n\nHe had no idea how hard she had worked on hiding that woman and how ready she was to let her out.\n\n\"Don't move.\" Lucas walked over to the vault door, punched in a combination in the small number pad, and turned the wheel in the door's center. Something clanged inside the door. Lucas moved to stand on the side. With a soft hiss, the door swung open and Karina stared straight at a man with a gun.\n\n\"Hands up!\"\n\nShe didn't move.\n\nThe barrel of the machine gun glared at her, black and huge, like the mouth of a cannon.\n\n\"I said hands up!\"\n\nLucas nodded at her. She raised her hands.\n\n\"Subspecies?\" the man demanded.\n\n\"I'm a donor,\" she said.\n\nThe man's eyes widened. \"Get up and walk to me.\"\n\nLucas shook his head.\n\n\"I can't,\" Karina said, keeping her voice monotone. \"I'm sick. I can't walk.\"\n\nThe man moved into the vault, one step at a time, careful, the gun pointing at her. He took three steps in. Lucas lunged, so quick she barely saw it. His hands closed about the man's neck. Bones crunched, and the man sagged down on the floor, limp.\n\nA week earlier, she would've screamed. Now she just got up and ran over to the body.\n\nLucas staggered, leaned against the wall, and pushed himself upright. He wasn't joking. He really was at his limit.\n\nShe crouched by the body and began going through the man's pockets. \"I can do this alone.\"\n\n\"Yeah, yeah.\" He picked up the man's machine gun and handed it to her. \"Safety here.\" He flipped a small switch. \"Point and pull the trigger. Your instinct will tell you to keep clenching it. Don't. Count to three in your head and let go of the trigger. Short bursts.\"\n\nKarina took the gun and raised it. It was heavy like a cement block. \"You do realize that I can kill you with this.\" She didn't mean to say it. It just came out.\n\n\"Yes.\" He turned his back to her and went out of the vault. A pair of jeans and a sweatshirt lay by the door. Lucas pulled on the clothes and started down the hallway. She followed him. He moved like a cat, soundless on bare feet.\n\nThey came to the end of the hallway. Lucas leaned against the wall, glanced around the corner, and looked at her. \"Point and pull the trigger,\" he whispered.\n\n\"Count to three,\" she whispered back.\n\nHe nodded.\n\nThere were people at the end of that hallway. People she would have to kill. _It's them or us._ Kill or be killed.\n\nShe took a deep breath, stepped into the hallway, and pulled the trigger. The gun spat thunder. Bullets ripped into four distant shadows. She thought there would be blood, but no. They just jerked and went down, screaming. She pounded the bullets into the bodies for another long breath and let go. Lucas moved next to her.\n\nIt was a test, she realized. He had to know if he could rely on her. Well, he could. She'd kill every one of them to get to Emily.\n\n\"What happened to letting go on three?\"\n\n\"There were four of them,\" she said. Movies and books told her she should be throwing up now, but she didn't feel queasy. Her mouth was dry. It would probably hit her later, but now only Emily mattered. \"I decided to take two extra seconds.\"\n\n* * *\n\nKarina followed Lucas through the dark passageways as fast as she could. She was squeezing everything she had out of her exhausted body. Now that the first flush of adrenaline had worn off, fatigue set in. She didn't walk, she dragged herself forward, shot when Lucas shot, stopped when he stopped. Only the next step mattered and she gritted her teeth and managed it again and again.\n\nThey made it to a small door. Lucas punched a code into the lock, the door snapped open, and they went through onto a concrete landing. Lucas punched the lock and the small square light in its corner turned red.\n\n\"We rest,\" he said. \"Two minutes.\"\n\nKarina sank down to the concrete and he sprawled next to her. The grimy floor was like heaven.\n\n\"Why are you helping me?\"\n\nHis voice was a quiet growl. \"Because I like you. And your little girl.\"\n\nShe closed her eyes, feeling the cold concrete under her cheek. That wasn't it. Lucas was making up for his past sins, but that wasn't all of it, either. She knew the true answer. She could read it in his worn-out face. He wanted to save her, because he wanted her to stop flinching when she looked at him.\n\n\"Thank you,\" she told him. \"Thank you for helping me.\"\n\n\"Time to get up.\" He rose.\n\nShe cried out as he pulled her off the floor and followed him down the stairs. An odd sensation clenched her, almost like some internal spring had compressed inside her and now begged to be released. She stumbled, and it vanished.\n\nOne floor. The landing. They were midway down the next flight of stairs when the door below swung open.\n\nAn icy presence clenched her mind in a hard grip. It shut her off, trapping her. She couldn't move; she couldn't speak. Time slowed to a crawl.\n\nThe door kept opening, wider and wider. She saw inside it; she saw armed people pour out onto the landing. She knew she had to fire. Instead she just stood there, disconnected from her body.\n\nAnd then Lucas shoved her down and sprayed the landing with bullets.\n\nThe presence gripped her mind and squeezed. She couldn't even scream.\n\nOrange sparks flared on Lucas's gun. It died.\n\nMore people spilled into the landing over the bodies. Lucas leaped into the attackers. He smashed one out of the way, cracking the man's skull against concrete like a walnut. The man slid down, leaving a bright red stain on the wall. Lucas ripped a woman's throat out with his hand, backhanded another man down the stairs, and shuddered as a handgun barked. Red spray shot out of Lucas's side. He lunged forward and broke the gunman like a twig and dived into the doorway.\n\nThe sound faded. She was completely disconnected from her body now. Only her vision worked.\n\nLucas emerged from the door, bloody, his eyes furious. He must've jerked her up, because her view changed and suddenly he was directly above her. He barked something, angry. The world shook. He dived down. His lips closed on hers. She felt nothing. He jerked back up and rocked back and forth, screaming again.\n\n_Henry,_ she read his lips calling. _Henry._\n\nHe kissed her again and rocked, his face jerking up and down. His hands pushed on her chest. She saw the muscles on his arms flex, but felt nothing. The red stain on his sweatshirt spread wider. Was he doing CPR? Was she dying?\n\n_Henry._\n\nThe ice cracked. She heard a distant female scream somewhere impossibly far. Warmth flooded into her. Something popped inside her mind and she saw a radiant light, bright and glorious.\n\n_She's gone now,_ Henry's voice said in her mind. _She won't bother you again. You're free. Breathe, Karina. Breathe._\n\nThe world snapped back to its normal speed, jerking her back into her body. She felt everything at once: pain, the hardness of the stair under her back, and the rhythmic push of Lucas's hands on her chest. She gasped. He pulled her up, into his arms.\n\n\"Mind Bender attack,\" he told her. \"Up. Keep moving.\"\n\nThe scent of heated metal rising from Lucas was so thick, she almost choked. He wasn't just hurt. He had to be close to dying. If he died, she would be free, but in this moment she didn't care. She just wanted him to survive. \"You've been shot.\"\n\n\"We must move,\" he told her and pulled her up to her feet. \"Faster!\"\n\nHe drove her down the stairs, through the door, and along the narrow hallway. They dashed past a row of offices. Lucas rammed a door head-on and they burst into a small conference room. Henry lay slumped in the corner, his back pressed against a wall that was mirrored floor to ceiling. His cracked glasses sat slightly askew on his blood-smeared face. Emily was curled in the crook of his arm.\n\nKarina cleared the room in a desperate sprint and dropped to her knees. \"Is she okay?\"\n\n\"She's fine,\" Henry said softly. \"She woke up a little when I had to help you, but now she's sleeping again.\"\n\nKarina hugged her, cradling Emily's small body. Finally.\n\nLucas shoved the table against the door and landed next to them.\n\n\"I see you're bleeding, too, cousin.\" Henry smiled. \"Nice of you to join me.\"\n\n\"Where are the others?\" Lucas growled.\n\n\"I don't know. We were hit two minutes after you went into the vault. It was a concentrated assault. They came prepared. The seventeenth floor fell within ten minutes. We were retreating, when I got cut off. I went into cloak almost immediately. Our people may have evacuated.\"\n\n\"Without us?\" Karina stared at them.\n\n\"Arthur probably thought I fed,\" Lucas said. \"Your blood would give me enough of a boost to either get Henry and me clear or to hide.\"\n\n\"They are surrounding us,\" Henry said. \"What's the plan?\"\n\n\"You and I go. They stay,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"Ah.\" Henry nodded. \"I thought it might be something like that.\"\n\n\"What are you talking about?\" Karina gathered Emily closer.\n\n\"We're going to open that door,\" Lucas said. \"Henry and I will take off. Henry will make sure they concentrate on us and I will make sure to keep them busy. They will follow us. You will wait here for three minutes, then you will take Emily, go out into the hallway, and turn right. You will come to an intersection. Turn right again. That will get you to the stairs. Shoot anyone you see. Then you get the hell out. If you make it out of the building, Arthur won't look for you right away, since I'll be dead and he won't need a donor immediately. Don't use credit cards, don't stay twice in the same\u2014\"\n\n\"They will kill you!\" No, that was not how this would go. The spring of tension inside her shivered, compressing.\n\n\"It was never about me surviving,\" Lucas said. \"I died when we opened the vault.\"\n\n\"He's right,\" Henry said.\n\nGod, he pissed her off. \"No.\" She shook her head, trying to keep a lid on her anger. \"We go to the stairs together and fight our way down. Together.\"\n\nLucas grabbed her, jerking her close. \"You will do as you're told.\"\n\n\"No,\" she said into his snarl. \"I won't. We go together.\"\n\nThe pressure inside her built.\n\n\"This isn't a democracy!\"\n\n\"Lucas, I can't carry Emily and shoot at the same time. I can barely hold this stupid gun with two hands. Do you think I'm Rambo? It's suicide for me, Emily, _and_ you.\"\n\n\"She has a point,\" Henry said.\n\n\"See? They will kill me and your grand sacrifice will be wasted. I don't want you to die for nothing. I don't want you to die at all.\"\n\n\"Why the hell not?\"\n\n\"Because I care if you live or die! My God, you are a moron! We fight our way to the stairs together. We have a better chance that way.\"\n\nHe shook her. \"I'm trying to save your daughter, you idiot! I've been doing this a long time and I am telling you, if we go out there, we'll all die.\"\n\n\"He also has a point,\" Henry said.\n\nKarina exhaled. Emily's life was all that mattered. \"Then drink my blood and get her out of here.\"\n\n\"I would have to drain you dry. I'm barely conscious!\"\n\n\"Do it.\" Karina told him, furious. \"You have the best chance of getting out of here with Emily alive. Drain me.\"\n\n\"No!\" he snarled.\n\n\"Do it, Lucas!\"\n\n\"That's nice,\" Henry said. \"But the Ordinators are coming.\"\n\n\"Drain me or we go to the stairs,\" Karina said.\n\n\"No, we'll do this my way.\"\n\n\"Your way, I die, you die, Emily dies!\"\n\n\"There is no time,\" Henry said calmly. \"You missed your opportunity. We are all about to die. Don't let them take you alive. You will regret it.\"\n\nThe back wall of the conference room shuddered. Cracks crisscrossed the wood. It shattered and rained down in a waterfall of tiny splinters. People stood behind it, people with automatic weapons and dark helmets shielding their faces. In front of them a tall man with pale hair down to his waist slowly lowered his hand, smiling. She looked into his face and saw her own death there.\n\nIt hit her like a punch. Emily, she, Lucas, and Henry\u2014the four of them really were about to die.\n\nFor nothing. They would die for nothing.\n\nLucas surged to his feet, trying to shield her.\n\nNo. No, this was not happening. She was tired and scared and pissed off and she was done with this shit.\n\nFuck them all.\n\nThe coiled spring inside her snapped free. Fiery power surged through her in a glorious cascade. It was time to set things right.\n\nThe smile slid off the blond Ordinator's face. He opened his mouth.\n\nThe power surged from her, up and over her shoulders in twin streams.\n\nShe looked right into his eyes and said, \"Die!\"\n\nHis face turned green, as if dusted with emerald powder. He crumpled and fell to the floor. She stared at the men behind him and they collapsed like rag dolls.\n\nTwo others burst into her view from the left. She turned and _looked_ at them and watched them die in midstep.\n\n\"Anybody else?\" she called out. Her voice rang through the building. \"Does anybody else want some? Because I've got plenty!\"\n\nNobody answered. She marched out into the hallway, turned the corner, and saw a hallway full of people.\n\n_Die._\n\nThey collapsed as one.\n\nThey wanted to exterminate humanity. They had declared a war. Fine. If the Ordinators wanted a war, she would introduce them to one.\n\nKarina turned. Lucas was staring at her, his mouth hanging open. Next to him Henry stood, blinking as if he hoped that one of the times when he reopened his eyes he would see something different.\n\nKarina looked above them and saw her own reflection in the mirror wall. Twin streams of green lightning spread out from her shoulders in two radiant green wings. Like Arthur's red ones.\n\n\"A Wither,\" Henry said in a small voice, still blinking. \"She's a Wither.\"\n\nThe memory of burning faces flashed before her and she brushed it aside. Fine. She was a Wither and nobody would ever push her around again.\n\nLucas closed his mouth. His gaze met hers and she saw pride and defiance in his eyes. \"Do it quick,\" he said.\n\nHe expected her to kill him.\n\nAfter everything she'd said to him, he expected her to kill him.\n\nKarina stepped to him. Her lightning wings burned around them. \"Don't worry,\" she told him. \"I'm the biggest and the strongest and I'll protect you. We are walking out of here.\"\n\nHenry stopped blinking.\n\n* * *\n\nIt took them forty-five minutes to get down the stairs. Karina inhaled the night air. It smelled of acrid smoke and rotting garbage, but she didn't care.\n\nBehind her the building rose like a grim tower. It now belonged to the dead. She had walked through every hallway and checked every room, while Henry and Lucas sat waiting and bleeding on the stairs. She had no idea how many people she killed, but it had to be dozens. She checked their faces to make sure they were dead. They all looked the same: features sunken in, emerald green tint painting their skin.\n\nAnd now, finally, she was done.\n\nHer lightning wings had vanished, her power exhausted. Reality returned slowly, in bits and pieces.\n\nNext to her Lucas stirred. \"If you want to disappear, now is the time. You killed them because they were caught unaware. The House of Daryon won't be. I don't know what your plan is but I know that once Arthur realizes what you are, he'll do everything he can to keep you within the House. You are too powerful to cut loose. He'll kill you if you refuse, and I don't know if I can stop him.\"\n\n\"He's right,\" Henry said. \"It's alarming how often I keep repeating that. Withers, Subspecies 21, have several types. You're type 4. Arthur is type 7. He is more powerful and he has a lot more experience. At your best you can't take him, and it will take you a long time to build your reserves back up to do anything on a massive scale again. Sometimes it takes years. Not to mention that we will have to fight you if you try to kill Arthur.\"\n\nKarina looked at Lucas. \"If I leave, how will you feed?\"\n\n\"Synthetics,\" he said. \"They take the edge off.\"\n\nHis entire body was tense, like a string pulled too tight. He didn't want her to go. \"Why?\" she asked.\n\n\"That's what you want,\" he said. \"Freedom. One more day or maybe many. It's yours. Take it.\"\n\nHenry cleared his throat. \"The Ordinators . . .\"\n\nLucas looked at him. Henry closed his mouth with a click.\n\nKarina peered at Lucas's face. \"Didn't you promise me you would find me if I escaped?\"\n\n\"I did. I promise you it will take me a really long time to find you. Go now.\"\n\nShe hesitated. Emily stirred in Lucas's arms, waking up.\n\nLucas could find her\u2014she saw the certainty of it in his eyes. If he could find her, the Ordinators could find her as well, and they would be much more motivated. And even if she did escape, she would always be living on the run, hiding from everyone and afraid of every shadow. She had no doubt that Emily was a donor. She had a responsibility to her child\u2014she had to teach Emily how to protect herself or when they would be found, Emily would be caught unaware, just like she was.\n\nKarina looked out into the city. That way lay freedom. Even twelve hours before, Karina Tucker would've taken it in a blink. But she was no longer that Karina Tucker. Nothing would ever be the same. There was a chasm between her old self and her new self, and it was filled with Ordinator bodies. Too much had happened. It changed her and there was no going back.\n\nThe woman who only days before had driven four children on a school trip was dead. She had been a nice girl, kind and a little naive, because she thought she knew what tragedy was. That woman had a small, secure, cozy life. Karina missed her and she took a moment to mourn her. It hurt to let go of that life. She shed it anyway, but not like a butterfly breaking free of the cocoon. More like a snake leaving its old skin. And this new Karina took risks. She was stronger, harder, and more powerful. There was a war going on and she would take part in it.\n\nAnd even if she chickened out and tried to walk away, the memory of Lucas would keep her from going too far. She had more in common with a man who turned into a monster than she did with Jill and her endless worry over seat belts. She couldn't leave him behind now, back in the place where everyone was scared of him, where Arthur used him with no regard for Lucas's life, where his brother continuously bickered and fought with him. She had Emily. Lucas had no one and he wanted her so badly. And she wanted him. Right or wrong, she no longer cared. It was her decision and she made it.\n\n\"Decide,\" Lucas told her. \"We can't stay out in the open.\"\n\nOnly one question remained. Karina took a deep breath and closed the distance between her and Lucas. She lifted her face and looked into his green eyes and kissed him.\n\nFor a moment he stood still and then he kissed her back, his mouth eager and hungry for her. When they broke apart, Henry was staring at them.\n\n\"I am confused,\" Henry said.\n\n\"Well, I can't let you go back on your own,\" Karina said. \"All beat up and sad. Arthur might kill you somehow, or Daniel will bring the house down, or Henry, you might poison everyone with your cooking.\"\n\nEmily opened her eyes. \"Mommy!\"\n\n\"Hi, baby.\"\n\n\"Where are we?\"\n\n\"In Detroit. We had to make a stop here for a little while, but Lucas and Henry are taking us home with them now.\"\n\nThere had to be words to describe the look on Lucas's face, but she didn't know them. He probably didn't know them, either. He looked like he wasn't sure if he were surprised, relieved, happy, or mad.\n\n\"I believe there is a fast-food place three blocks north,\" Henry said. \"We could go there, use their phone, and drink coffee while we wait to get picked up. I could use some coffee.\"\n\n\"Can you make it?\" Lucas asked.\n\n\"If I faint, just leave me in the street.\"\n\nLucas slid his shoulder under Henry's arm.\n\n\"Thank you.\"\n\nThey started down the street.\n\n\"You don't own me anymore,\" Karina said quietly.\n\n\"Fine,\" Lucas said.\n\n\"And I will have my own room.\"\n\n\"Fine.\"\n\n\"And if you need to feed, you will ask me. Nicely.\"\n\nHe stopped and glared at her.\n\n\"Nicely,\" she told him.\n\n\"Fine.\"\n\n\"But all kidding aside, you will still cook, right?\" Henry asked. \"You said\u2014\"\n\n\"Yes, I will definitely cook.\"\n\n\"Oh, good,\" Henry said. \"I was afraid you would quit and we would have to eat Lucas's cooking.\"\n\n\"My cooking is fine,\" Lucas said.\n\nAhead, the familiar yellow-on-red sign rose on the corner.\n\n\"Are we going there, Mommy?\" Emily pointed at the sign.\n\n\"Yes.\"\n\n\"Do we have money to get ice cream?\"\n\n\"I have twenty dollars,\" Henry said. \"It's a little bloody, but they will take it.\"\n\n\"They'll take it,\" Lucas said grimly.\n\nKarina pictured Lucas, a little bloody and a little pissed off, breaking the McDonald's counter in half. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that.\n\n\"Don't worry, baby. We'll get you all the ice cream you want.\" Karina glanced back at the husk of the skyscraper. For a second she thought she saw her own self waving good-bye. Her new self smiled back. People who knew the old Karina would judge her, if they knew, but that didn't matter. She made her own choices now.\n\nShe put her hand on Lucas's arm. He bent it at his elbow, letting her fingers rest on his muscled forearm, and they walked side by side into the night.\nRead on for an exciting excerpt from the latest Kate Daniels novel\n\nMAGIC SHIFTS\n\n_Available now from Ace Books_\n\n\"Ilona Andrews's books are guaranteed good reads.\"\n\n\u2014Patricia Briggs, #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author\n\n\" _Magic Shifts_ is a perfectly balanced mixture of action, adventure, mystery, humor, and a delicious romance.

The donkey's name was Cuddles. She was ten feet tall, including the ears, and her black-and-white hide suggested she might have held up a Holstein cow in some dark alley and was now wearing her clothes. My own blood-spattered outfit suggested I'd had an interesting night. Most horses would've been nervous about letting a woman covered with that much blood on their back, but Cuddles didn't seem to mind. Either it didn't bother her or she was a pragmatist who knew where her carrots were coming from.\n\nThe city lay in front of me, deserted, quiet, and steeped in magic, unfurling its streets to the starlight like a moonlight flower. Magic ran deep through Atlanta tonight, like a current of some phantom river, slipping into the shadowy places and waking hungry things with needle-long teeth and glowing eyes. Anyone with a drop of common sense hid behind reinforced doors and barred windows after dark. Unfortunately for me, common sense was never among my virtues. As Cuddles quietly clopped her way down the streets, the sounds of her hoofbeats unnaturally loud, the night shadows watched us and I watched them back. _Let's play who can be a better killer. My sword and I love this game._\n\nNone of the monsters took the bait. It might have been because of me, but most likely it was because one of them was moving parallel to my route. They smelled him, and they hid and hoped he would pass them by.\n\nIt was almost midnight. I'd had a long day. My back ached, my clothes smelled of fetid blood, and a hot shower sounded heavenly. I had made two apple pies last night, and I was pretty sure that at least one piece would be left for me. I could have it tonight with my tea before I went to bed . . .\n\nAn annoying spark of magic ignited in my mind. A vampire. Oh goody.\n\nThe spark \"buzzed\" in my brain like an angry mosquito and moved closer. The Immortuus pathogen, the disease responsible for vampirism, killed the minds of its victims, leaving behind an empty shell driven by an all-consuming bloodlust. Left to its own devices, a vampire would hunt and slaughter, and when it ran out of things to kill, it would starve to death. This particular bloodsucker wasn't free to rampage, because its blank mind was held in a telepathic grip by a necromancer. The necromancer, or navigator as they were called, sat in a room far away, directing the vampire with his will as if it were a remote-controlled car. The navigator heard what the vampire heard, saw what the vampire saw, and if the vampire opened its mouth, the navigator's words would come out of it.\n\nMeeting a bloodsucker this far south meant it belonged to the People, an odd hybrid of a corporation and a research facility, whose personnel dedicated themselves to the study of the undead and making money on the side. The People avoided me like the plague. Two months ago they had figured out that the man behind their organization, the nearly immortal wizard with godlike powers and legendary magic, happened to be my father. They had some difficulty with that development. So the vampire wasn't for me.\n\nStill . . . I knew most of the People's patrol routes and this undead was definitely off-course. Where the hell was it going?\n\nNo. Not my circus, not my undead monkeys.\n\nI felt the vampire make a ninety-degree turn, heading straight for me.\n\nHome, shower, apple pie. Maybe if I said it like a prayer, it would work.\n\nThe distance between us shrank. _Home, shower . . ._\n\nAn undead leaped off the roof of the nearest two-story house and landed on the road next to me, gaunt, each shallow muscle visible under the thick hide, as if someone had crafted a human anatomy model out of steel wire and poured a paper-thin layer of rubber over it.\n\nDamn it.\n\nThe undead unhinged its mouth and Ghastek's dry voice came out. \"You're difficult to find, Kate.\"\n\nWell, well. The new head of the People's Atlanta office had come to see me personally. I'd curtsy but I was too tired to get off my donkey and the sword on my back would get in the way. \"I live in the suburbs and come home almost every night. My business phone number is in the book.\"\n\nThe vampire tilted its head, mimicking Ghastek's movements. \"You're still riding that monstrosity?\"\n\n\"Feel free to stomp him,\" I told Cuddles. \"I'll back you up.\"\n\nCuddles ignored me and the vampire, defiantly clopping past it. The bloodsucker turned smoothly and fell into step next to me. \"Where is your . . . significant other?\"\n\n\"He's around.\" He was never too far. \"Why, are you worried he'll find out about this romantic rendezvous?\"\n\nThe vampire froze for a second. \"What?\"\n\n\"You're meeting me in secret on a lonely street in the middle of the night . . .\"\n\nGhastek's voice was so sharp, if it were a knife, I would've been sliced to ribbons. \"I find your attempts at humor greatly distressing.\"\n\nHee-hee.\n\n\"I assure you, this is strictly business.\"\n\n\"Sure it is, sweet cheeks.\"\n\nThe vampire's eyes went wide. In an armored room deep in the bowels of the People's Casino, Ghastek was probably having a heart attack from the outrage.\n\n\"What are you doing out in my neck of the woods?\"\n\n\"Technically, the entire city is your neck of the woods,\" Ghastek said.\n\n\"True.\"\n\nTwo months ago my father had decided to dramatically claim Atlanta as his own domain. I tried to stop him in an equally dramatic fashion. He knew what he was doing, I didn't, and I ended up accidentally claiming the city in his stead. I was still fuzzy on how exactly the claiming worked, but apparently it meant that I had assumed guardianship of the city and the safety of Atlanta was now my responsibility. In theory, the magic of the city was supposed to nourish me and make my job easier, but I had no idea how exactly that worked. So far I didn't feel any different.\n\n\"But still, I heard you were promoted. Don't you have flunkies to do your bidding?\"\n\nThe vampire twisted his face into a hair-raising leer. Ghastek must've grimaced.\n\n\"I thought you would be happy,\" I said. \"You wanted to be the head honcho.\"\n\n\"Yes, but now I have to deal with you. _He_ spoke to me, personally.\"\n\nHe said \"he\" with the kind of reverence that could only mean Roland, my father.\n\n\"He believes that you may hesitate to kill me because of our shared experiences,\" Ghastek continued. \"Which makes me uniquely qualified to lead the People in your territory.\"\n\nShowing how freaked out I was about having a territory would severely tarnish my City Guardian cred. \"Aha.\"\n\n\"I'm supposed to cooperate with you. So, in the spirit of cooperation, I'm informing you that our patrols have sighted a large group of ghouls moving toward the city.\"\n\nGhouls were bad news. They followed the same general pattern of infection, incubation, and transformation as vampires and shapeshifters, but so far nobody had managed to figure out what actually turned them into ghouls. They were smart, supernaturally fast, and vicious, and they fed on human carrion. Unlike vampires, whom they somewhat resembled, ghouls retained some of their former personality and ability to reason, and they quickly figured out that the best way to get human carrion was to butcher a few people and leave the corpses to rot until they decomposed enough to be consumed. They traveled around in packs of three to five members and attacked isolated small settlements.\n\n\"How large is the group?\"\n\n\"Thirty plus,\" Ghastek said.\n\nThat wasn't a group. That was a damn horde. I had never heard of a ghoul pack that large.\n\n\"Which way are they coming?\"\n\n\"The old Lawrenceville Highway. You have about half an hour before they enter Northlake. Best of luck.\"\n\nThe vampire took off into the night.\n\nA few decades ago, Northlake would have been only a few minutes away. Now a labyrinth of ruins lay between me and that part of the city. Our world suffered from magic waves. They began without warning a few decades ago in a magic-induced apocalypse called the Shift. When magic flooded our world, it took no prisoners. It smothered electricity, dropped planes out of the sky, and toppled tall buildings. It eroded asphalt off the roads and birthed monsters. Then, without warning, the magic would vanish again and all of our gadgets and guns once again worked.\n\nThe city had shrunk post-Shift, after the first magic wave caused catastrophic destruction. People sought safety in numbers, and most of the suburbs along the old Lawrenceville Highway stood abandoned. There were some isolated communities in Tucker, but people settling there knew what to expect from the magic-fueled wilderness and it would be difficult for a pack of ghouls to take them down. Why bother, when less than five miles down the road Northlake marked the outer edge of the city? It was a densely populated area, filled with suburban houses and bordered by a few watchtowers along a ten-foot fence topped with razor wire. The guards could handle a few ghouls, but with thirty coming in fast, they would be overrun. The ghouls would scale the fence in seconds, slaughter the tower guards, and turn the place into a bloodbath.\n\nThere would be no assistance from the authorities. By the time I found a working phone and convinced the Paranormal Activity Division that a pack of ghouls six times the typical size was moving toward Atlanta, Northlake would be an all-you-can-devour ghoul buffet.\n\nAbove me a huge dark shape dashed along the rooftops and leaped, clearing the gap between two buildings. The starlight caught it for a heart-stopping second, illuminating the powerfully muscled torso, four massive legs, and the dark gray mane. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. It was as if the night itself had opened its jaws and spat out a prehistoric creature, something born of human fear and hungry animal growls echoing in the dark. I only saw him for a moment, but the image imprinted itself in my mind as if chiseled in stone. My body instantly recognized that he was predator and I was prey. I'd known him for three years now, and the instinctual response still hit every single time.\n\nThe beast landed, turned north, and vanished into the night, heading toward Northlake.\n\nInstead of running away as fast as I could like any sane person would do, I nudged Cuddles, hurrying her until she broke into a gallop. One doesn't let her fianc\u00e9 fight a horde of ghouls by himself. Some things were just not done.\n\n* * *\n\nThe empty expanse of the Lawrenceville Highway spread before me. The road cut through a shallow hill here, and stone walls held back the slope on both sides. I parked myself at the mouth of the hill, just before it melted into a vast, completely flat field. As good a place as any to make a stand.\n\nI stretched my neck slowly, one side, then the other. I'd left Cuddles tethered to a tree half a mile back. Ghouls normally would have no interest in her, but she smelled like me and one of them might try to rip her neck open just out of spite.\n\nThe moon rolled out of the clouds, illuminating the fields. The night sky was impossibly high, the stars like diamonds in its icy depth. A cold breeze came, tugging at my clothes and my braid. It was the beginning of March, and the onset of spring was sudden and warm, but at night winter still bared its fangs.\n\nThe last time I was this far from the city, I had been the Consort of the Pack, the largest shapeshifter organization in the South. That was behind me now. Thirty ghouls would be rough without backup. Lucky for me, I had the best backup in the city.\n\nWhen I had claimed Atlanta, the claiming had created a boundary. I felt it fifty feet in front of me, an invisible line of demarcation. I should've gone to inspect the boundary sooner, but I'd been busy trying to separate myself from the Pack and setting up the new house and working my ass off, because eventually our savings would run out . . . But pretending that the claiming hadn't happened did me no favors.\n\nSomething moved in the distance. I focused on it. The movement continued, the horizon rippling slightly. A few breaths and the shiver broke into individual shapes running in an odd loping gait, leaning on their arms like gorillas but never fully shifting into a quadrupedal run.\n\nWow, that's a lot of ghouls.\n\nShowtime. I reached for the sword on my back and pulled Sarrat out of its sheath. The opaque, almost white blade caught the weak moonlight. Single-handed, with a razor-sharp edge, the blade was a cross between a straight sword and a traditional saber, with a slight curve that made it excellent for both slashing and thrusting. Sarrat was fast, light, flexible, and razor-sharp, and it was about to get a hell of a workout.\n\nThe distorted shapes kept coming. Knowing there were thirty ghouls was one thing. Seeing them gallop toward you was completely different. A spark of instinctual fear shot through me, turning the world sharper, and melted into calm awareness.\n\nThin tendrils of vapor rose from Sarrat's surface in response. I turned the saber, warming up my wrist.\n\nThe ghoul horde drew closer. How the hell did I get myself into these things?\n\nI walked toward them, sword in my hand, point down. I had few social skills, but intimidation I did well.\n\nThe ghouls saw me. The front ranks slowed, but the back rows were still running at full speed. The mass of ghouls compacted like a wave breaking against a rock and finally screeched to a halt just before the boundary. We stopped, them on one side of the invisible magic divide, me on the other.\n\nThey were lean and muscular, with disproportionately powerful arms and long, spadelike hands, each finger tipped by a short curved claw. Bony protrusions, like short knobby horns, thrust through their skin at random spots on their back and shoulders. The horns were a defensive mechanism. If someone tried to pull the ghoul out of its burrow, the horns would wedge against dirt. A werewolf armed with superhuman strength would have a difficult time plucking a ghoul out of the ground. I'd seen the horns grow as long as four inches, but most of the ones decorating this crowd barely reached half an inch. Their skin was dark gray on the chest, neck, and faces, the kind of gray that was most often found on military urban camouflage. Small splotches of muddy brown dotted their backs and their shoulders. If not for the watery yellow glow of their irises, they would've blended into the road completely.\n\nNone of them were lame, starved, or weak. The odds weren't in my favor. I had to think of a strategy and fast.\n\nThe ghouls peered at me with oddly slanted eyes, the inner corners dipping much lower than the outer ones.\n\nI waited. The moment you start speaking, you become less scary, and I had no intention of being less scary. The ghouls were sentient, which meant they could feel fear, and I needed every bit of advantage I could scrounge up.\n\nA large ghoul shouldered its way to the front of the pack. Well-fed, with a defined powerful body, he crouched in front of me. If he stood upright, he would be close to seven feet tall. At least two hundred pounds, all of it hard muscle and sharp claws. The brown pattern on his back was almost nonexistent. Instead, long alternating stripes of paler and darker gray slid down his flanks.\n\nThe ghoul rocked forward. His face touched the boundary and he pulled back and stared at me. He wasn't sure what he was sensing, but he knew that the boundary and I were somehow connected.\n\nSome ghouls were scavengers. They were harmless and sometimes even gainfully employed. We lived in an unsafe world. Too often bodies couldn't be recovered because they were under debris or the scene was too grisly for the next of kin to identify the remains. Putting the bodies into a mass grave was a recipe for disaster. Human bodies emanated magic even after death and there was no telling what the next magic wave would do to that mass grave. Most often the remains were cremated, but occasionally the authorities would bring in ghouls to clean the site. It was cheaper and faster.\n\nI'd bet my arm these ghouls weren't licensed scavenge workers, but I had to be absolutely sure.\n\nThe ghoul stared at me. I gave him my best psychotic smile.\n\nThe ghoul blinked his yellowish eyes, tensed like a dog about to charge, and opened his mouth, stretching his lips in a slow deliberate grin. _That's right, show me your big teeth, pretty boy._\n\nA row of thick sharp teeth decorated the front of his jaw. Toward the back, the teeth thinned out, becoming more bladelike, with serrated edges. _Got you._\n\nThe ghoul unhinged his jaw. A rough raspy voice came out. \"Who are you?\"\n\n\"Turn around now and you'll live.\"\n\nHe clamped his mouth shut. Apparently this wasn't the answer he'd expected. Kate Daniels, master of surprises. _Don't worry, I'm just getting started._\n\n\"We're a licensed cleanup crew,\" the leader ghoul said.\n\n\"No.\"\n\nHalf a mile behind the ghouls, a dark shape moved through the field, so silent, for a second I thought I was seeing things. My mind refused to accept that a creature that large could be so quiet. _Hi, honey._\n\nThe ghouls didn't notice him. They were conditioned to pay attention to human flesh and I was standing right in front of them, providing a nice convenient target.\n\nThe leader ghoul turned, displaying a tattoo on his left shoulder.\n\nColumbia, SC\n\n014\n\nLocation of license and license number. He thought I was born yesterday.\n\n\"We're a peaceful group,\" the ghoul continued.\n\n\"Sure you are. You're just running into the city to borrow a cup of sugar and invite people to your church.\"\n\n\"You're interfering with official municipal business. This is discrimination.\"\n\nThe dark shadow emerged onto the road and started toward us. I'd need to buy him some time to get within striking range.\n\nI looked at the ghoul. \"Do you know what is so special about ghouls? You have an unrivaled adaptability. Your bodies change to match their environment faster than ninety-nine percent of anything we've seen in nature.\"\n\nMy favorite monster crept closer on huge paws.\n\nI raised my saber and rested the opaque blade on my shoulder. Faint tendrils of vapor escaped from Sarrat's surface. The sword sensed trouble and was eager for it.\n\n\"Let me tell you what I see. Your color has changed from brown to gray, because you no longer have to blend in with the dirt. Your stripes tell me you spend a lot of time moving through the forest. Your horns are short, because you no longer hide in your burrows.\"\n\nThe ghouls shifted closer. Their eyes glowed brighter. They didn't like where this was going.\n\n\"Your claws aren't long and straight to help you dig. They are curved and sharp to rend flesh.\"\n\nThe ghouls bared their teeth at me. They were a hair away from violence. I had to keep talking.\n\n\"Your pretty teeth have changed, too. They're no longer narrow and serrated. They are thick, strong, and sharp. The kind of teeth you get when you need to hold struggling prey in your mouth. And your fancy tattoo is two years out of date. All ghouls' licenses in Columbia now have the year tattooed under the license number.\"\n\nThe ghouls had gone completely silent, their eyes like dozens of tiny shiny moons all focused on me. Just a few more seconds . . .\n\n\"Kill her,\" another ghoul chimed in. \"We have to hurry.\"\n\n\"Kill her. He's waiting,\" a third voice chimed in.\n\n\"Kill her. Kill her.\"\n\nThey seemed awfully desperate. Something weird was going on.\n\n\"Who is waiting?\" I asked.\n\n\"Shut up!\" the leading ghoul snarled.\n\nI leaned forward and gave the leader ghoul my hard stare. \"You look plump. You've been raiding the countryside and growing fat from gorging yourself on the people you've murdered. I gave you a chance to leave. Now it's too late. Pay attention to this moment. Look at the stars. Breathe in the cold air. This is your last night. These are the last breaths you take. I will kill every one of you.\"\n\nThe leader ghoul snarled, dropping all pretense. \"You and what army?\"\n\nI began pulling magic to me. This would hurt. This always hurt. \"That's the great thing about werelions. You don't need an army. You just need one.\"\n\nThe ghoul twisted his face. \"You're not a werelion, meat.\"\n\n\"I'm not.\" I nodded behind them. \"He is.\"\n\nThe leader ghoul spun around.\n\nTwo gold eyes stared at him from the darkness. The enormous lionlike beast opened his mouth and roared. Until I met him, I had never heard an actual lion roar. It sounded like thunder. Deafening, ravenous heart-dropping thunder that severed some vital link between logic and control of your body deep inside your brain. It was a blast of sound so powerful, I had seen hundreds of shapeshifters cringe when they heard it. A wolf howl heard in the middle of the night raised the hair on the back of your neck, but a lion's roar punched through all of your training and reason straight to the secret place hidden deep inside that screamed at you to freeze.\n\nThe ghouls stopped, motionless.\n\nI opened my mouth and spat a power word. _\"Osanda.\"_ Kneel.\n\nPower words came from a long-forgotten age, so ancient that they commanded raw magic. Few people knew about them and even fewer could use them, because to learn a power word, you had to own it. You made it yours or it killed you. I knew a handful of power words, far more than anyone else I'd met, but using even one came with a heavy price tag. For my father, the power words were a language, one he spoke fluidly and without repercussions. They didn't hurt him, but I always paid a price.\n\nThe magic ripped out of me. I braced for the familiar twist of agony. The backlash bit at me, tearing through my insides, but this time something must've blunted its teeth, because it didn't hurt nearly as much as I remembered.\n\nThe magic smashed into the petrified ghouls. Their knees and elbows crunched in unison and they crashed to the asphalt. It would buy me at least ten seconds. If the magic wave had been stronger, I would've broken their bones.\n\nI swung my sword. Sarrat met a ghoul's bony neck and sliced through cartilage and thick hide like butter. Before its dead body fell to the ground, I thrust my blade into the chest of the second ghoul and felt Sarrat's tip pierce the tight ball of its heart.\n\nThe lion's body boiled, snapping upright. Bones thrust upward; powerful muscle spiraled up the new skeleton. A blink and a new monster lunged forward, a nightmarish mix of man and lion, seven and a half feet tall, with steel-hard muscle sheathed in gray fur and curved, terrible claws. A ghoul leaped at him. He grabbed the creature by its throat and shook it, as if he were snapping a wet towel. A sickening snap echoed through the night and the ghoul went limp.\n\nI carved the third ghoul into two separate pieces and sliced the fourth one's throat.\n\nThe ghouls woke up. They swarmed us. The leonine beast swung his claws and disemboweled a ghoul with a precise swipe. Intestines rained onto the road. The bitter stench of ghoul blood mixed with the unmistakable sour reek of a gut wound singed my nostrils.\n\nClaws ripped through my clothes, drawing agonizing scalding-hot lines across my back. _You want to play? Fine._ I needed a workout anyway.\n\nMy saber became a razor-sharp wall. It cut, sliced, and pierced, ripping flesh and hissing as the ghoul blood that washed it boiled from its magic. I moved fast, sidestepping claws and blocking teeth. Another fiery gash stung my back. A ghoul clamped onto my boot and I ripped my leg free and stomped his skull into the pavement. A welcome heat spread through me, turning my muscles flexible and pliant. The world turned crystal clear. Time stretched, helping me. The ghouls lunged, but I was faster. They raked at me with their claws, but my blade found them first. I savored it all, every second of the fight, every drop of blood flying past me, every moment of resistance when Sarrat caught my target on its edge.\n\nThis was what I was raised and trained for. For better or worse, I was a killer. This was my calling, and I made no excuses for it.\n\nA ghoul loomed before me. I sliced it down in a classic overhand stroke. It fell. Nobody took its place. I pivoted on my toes, looking for a fight. To the left the werelion tossed a broken body to the ground and turned to me. A single ghoul hugged the ground, caught between us.\n\n\"Alive,\" the werelion snarled.\n\nWay ahead of you. Let's find out who the mysterious \"he\" is. I started toward the ghoul, sword in hand.\n\nIt shivered, looked right, then left, looked at the werelion, then at me. _That's right. You're trapped and not going anywhere._ If it ran, we would chase it down.\n\nThe ghoul reared, jerked its clawed hands to its throat, and sliced it open. Blood gushed. The ghoul gurgled and collapsed on the ground. The light went out of its eyes.\n\nWell, that was a hell of a thing.\n\nThe lion monster opened his mouth and a human voice came out, his diction perfect. \"Hey, baby.\"\n\n\"Hey, honey.\" I pulled a piece of cloth out of my pocket and carefully wiped down Sarrat's blade.\n\nCurran stepped over to me and put his arm around my shoulders, pulling me close. I leaned against him, feeling the hard muscle of his torso against my side. We surveyed the road strewn with broken bodies.\n\nThe adrenaline faded slowly. The colors turned less vivid. One by one the cuts and gashes made themselves known: my back burned, my left hip hurt too, and my left shoulder ached. I'd probably wake up with a spectacular bruise tomorrow.\n\nWe'd survived another one. We'd get to go home and keep on living.\n\n\"What the hell was all this about?\" Curran asked me.\n\n\"I have no idea. They don't typically gather into large packs. The biggest marauder pack ever sighted had seven ghouls, and that was considered a fluke. They are solitary and territorial. They only band together for protection, but clearly someone was waiting for them. Do you think Ghastek is connected to this?\"\n\nCurran grimaced. \"It's not like him. Ghastek only moves when he has something to gain. Having us kill ghouls doesn't help him in any way. He knows what we can do. He had to realize we'd go through them.\"\n\nCurran was right. Ghastek had to know we'd dispatch the ghouls. He wouldn't have used us to do his dirty work either. For all of his faults, Ghastek was a premier navigator, a Master of the Dead, and he loved his job. If he wanted the ghouls dead, he would've sliced this group to pieces with a couple of vampires or he would've used this opportunity as a training exercise for his journeymen.\n\n\"This isn't making any sense to me,\" I said, pulling traces of my blood toward me. It slid and rolled in tiny drops, forming a small puddle on the pavement. I pushed it to the side, solidified it, and stomped on it. It shattered under my foot into inert powder. Blood retained its magic even when separated from the body. For as long as I could remember, I had to guard my blood because if it were examined, it would point to my father like an arrow. There was a time where I had to set any trace of my blood on fire, but now it obeyed me. I couldn't decide if it made me a better fighter or just a worse abomination. \"They seemed desperate. Driven, almost, as if they had some sort of goal to get to.\"\n\n\"We'll figure it out,\" Curran told me. \"It's almost midnight. I say we go home, get cleaned up, and climb into bed.\"\n\n\"Sound like a plan.\"\n\n\"Hey, is there any of that apple pie left?\" Curran asked.\n\n\"I think so.\"\n\n\"Oh good. Let's go home, baby.\"\n\nOur home. It still hit me like a punch, even after months of us being together\u2014he was right there, waiting for me. If something attacked me, he'd kill it. If I needed help, he would help me. He loved me and I loved him back. I was no longer alone.\n\nWe were walking to my donkey when he said, \"Sweet cheeks?\"\n\n\"I couldn't help it. Ghastek's got a stick up his ass the size of a railroad track. Did you see the look on the vampire's face? He looked constipated.\"\n\nCurran laughed. We found Cuddles and went home.\nKeep reading for an excerpt from the first in the romantic urban fantasy series of the Edge\n\nON THE EDGE\n\nAvailable now from Ace Books\n\n\"A fascinating world combined with pulse-pounding action and white-hot romance makes On the Edge a winner!\n\n\u2014Jeaniene Frost, New York Times bestselling author\n\n\"A great, fun romance, an offbeat mix of old-fashioned rural magics, contemporary life (complete with Wal-Mart and comic book shops), and magic sword-wielding warriors.\"\n\n\u2014Locus\n\n#\n\n\"ROSIE!\" Grandpa's bellow shook the foundation of the house.\n\n\"Why me?\" Rose wiped the dish-soap suds from her hands with a kitchen towel, swiped the crossbow from the hook, and stomped onto the porch.\n\n\"Roooosie!\"\n\nShe kicked the screen door open. He towered in the yard, a huge, shaggy bear of a man, deranged eyes opened wide, tangled beard caked with blood and quivering grayish shreds. She leveled the crossbow at him. Drunk as hell again.\n\n\"What is it?\"\n\n\"I want to go to the pub. I want a pint.\" His voice slipped into a whine. \"Gimme some money!\"\n\n\"No.\"\n\nHe hissed at her, swaying unsteadily on his feet. \"Rosie! This is your last chance to give me a dollar!\"\n\nShe sighed and shot him. The bolt bit between the eyes, and Grandpa toppled onto his back like a log. His legs drummed the ground.\n\nRose rested the butt of her crossbow on her hip. \"All right, come out.\"\n\nThe two boys slipped from behind the huge oak spreading its branches over the yard. Both were filthy with reddish mud, sap, and the other unidentifiable substances an eight-and a ten-year-old could find in the Wood. A jagged scratch decorated Georgie's neck, and brown pine straw stuck out of his blond hair. Red welts marked the skin between Jack's knuckles. He saw her looking at his hands. His eyes got big, amber irises flaring yellow, and he hid his fists behind his back.\n\n\"How many times do I have to say it: don't touch the ward stones. Look at Grandpa Cletus! He's been eating dog brains again, and now he's drunk. It will take me half an hour to hose him off.\"\n\n\"We miss him,\" Georgie said.\n\nShe sighed. \"I miss him, too. But he's no good to anybody drunk. Come on, you two, let's take him back to his shed. Help me get the legs.\"\n\nTogether they dragged Grandpa's inert form back to the shed at the edge of the clearing and dumped him on his sawdust. Rose uncoiled the metal chain from the corner, pulled it across the shed, locked the collar on Grandpa's neck, and peeled back his left eyelid to check the pupil. No red yet. Good shot\u2014he would be out for hours. Rose put her foot on his chest, grasped the bolt, and pulled it out with a sharp tug. She still remembered Grandpa Cletus as he was, a tall, dapper man, uncanny with his rapier, his voice flavored with a light Scottish brogue. Even as old as he was, he would still win against Dad one out of three times in a sword fight. Now he was this . . . this thing. She sighed. It hurt to look at him, but there was nothing to be done about it. As long as Georgie lived, so did Grandpa Cletus.\n\nThe boys brought the hose. She turned it on, set the sprayer on jet, and leveled the stream at Grandpa until all the blood and dog meat were gone. She had never quite figured out how \"going down to the pub\" equaled chasing stray dogs and eating their brains, but when Grandpa got out of his ward circle, no mutt was safe. By the time she was done washing him, the hole in his forehead had closed. When Georgie raised things from the dead, he didn't just give them life. He made them almost indestructible.\n\nRose stepped out of the shed, locked the door behind her, and dragged the hose back to the porch. Her skin prickled as she crossed the invisible boundary: the kids must've put the ward stones back. She squinted at the grass. There they were, a line of small, seemingly ordinary rocks, spaced three, four feet from each other. Each rock held a small magic charge. Together they created an enchanted barrier, strong enough to keep Grandpa in the shed if he broke the chain again.\n\nRose waved the boys to the side and raised the hose. \"Your turn.\"\n\nThey flinched at the cold water. She washed them off methodically, from top to bottom. As the mud melted from Jack's feet, she saw a two-inch rip in his Skechers. Rose dropped the hose.\n\n\"Jack!\"\n\nHe cringed.\n\n\"Those are forty-five-dollar shoes!\"\n\n\"I'm sorry,\" he whispered.\n\n\"Tomorrow is the first school day! What were you doing?\"\n\n\"He was climbing up the pines to get at the leech birds,\" Georgie said.\n\nShe glared. \"Georgie! Thirty-minute time-out tonight for snitching.\"\n\nGeorgie bit his lip.\n\nRose stared at Jack. \"Is that true? You were chasing the leech birds?\"\n\n\"I can't help it. Their tails are so flittery . . .\"\n\nShe wanted to smack him. It was true, he couldn't help it\u2014it wasn't his fault he was born as a cat\u2014but those were brand-new shoes she had bought him for school. Shoes for which she had painstakingly tweaked their budget, scrimping every penny, so he wouldn't have to wear Georgie's old beat-upuncanny with his rapier, his voice flavored with a light Scottish brogue. Even as old as he was, he would still win against Dad one out of three times in a sword fight. Now he was this . . . this thing. She sighed.

Shoes for which she had painstakingly tweaked their budget, scrimping every penny, so he wouldn't have to wear Georgie's old beat-up sneakers, so he could look just as nice as all the other second graders. It just hurt.\n\nJack's face pinched into a rigid white mask\u2014he was about to cry.\n\nA small spark of power tugged on her. \"Georgie, stop trying to resurrect the shoes. They were never alive in the first place.\"\n\nThe spark died.\n\nAn odd desperation claimed her, her pain shifting into a sort of numbness. Pressure built in her chest. She was so sick of it, sick of counting every dollar, sick of rationing everything, sick to death of it all. She had to go and get Jack a new pair of shoes. Not for Jack's sake, but for the sake of her own sanity. Rose had no clue how she would make up the money, but she knew she had to buy him a new pair of shoes right now, or she would explode.\n\n\"Jack, do you remember what will happen if a leech bird bites you?\"\n\n\"I'll turn into one?\"\n\n\"Yes. You have to stop chasing the birds.\"\n\nHe hung his head. \"Am I punished?\"\n\n\"Yes. I'm too mad to punish you right now. We'll talk about it when we get home. Go brush your teeth, comb your hair, put on dry clothes, and get the guns. We're going to Wal-Mart.\"\n\n* * *\n\nTHE old Ford truck bounced on the bumps in the dirt road. The rifles clanged on the floor. Georgie put his feet down to steady them without being asked.\n\nRose sighed. Here, in the Edge, she could protect them well enough. But they were about to pass from the Edge into another world, and their magic would die in the crossing. The two hunting rifles on the floor would be their only defense. Rose felt a pang of guilt. If it wasn't for her, they wouldn't need the rifles. God, she didn't want to be jumped again. Not with her brothers in the car.\n\nThey lived between worlds: on one side lay the Weird and the other the Broken. Two dimensions, existing side by side, like mirror images of each other. In the place where the dimensions \"touched,\" they intersected slightly, forming a narrow ribbon of land that belonged to both of them\u2014the Edge. In the Weird, magic pooled deeply; in the Edge it was a shallow trickle. But in the Broken, no magic shielded them at all.\n\nRose eyed the Wood hugging the road, its massive trees crowding the narrow ribbon of packed dirt. She drove this way every day to her job in the Broken, but today the shadows between the gnarled trunks filled her with anxiety. \"Let's play the 'You Can't' game,\" she said to stave off the rising dread. \"Georgie, you go first.\"\n\n\"He went first the last time!\" Jack's eyes shone with amber.\n\n\"Nyaha!\"\n\n\"Yaha!\"\n\n\"Georgie goes first,\" she repeated.\n\n\"Past the boundary, you can't raise dead things,\" Georgie said.\n\n\"Past the boundary, you can't grow fur and claws,\" Jack said.\n\nThey always played the game when driving through to the Broken. It was a good reminder to the boys of what they could and could not do, and it worked much better than any lecture. Very few people in the Broken knew of the Edge or the Weird, and it was safer for everyone involved to keep it that way. Experience had taught her that trying to explain the existence of magic to a person in the Broken would do no good. It wouldn't get you committed into a mental institution, but it did land you into the kooky idiot category and made people give you a wide berth during lunch hour.\n\nFor most people of the Broken, there was no Broken, no Edge, and no Weird. They lived in the United States of America, on the continent of North America, on the planet Earth\u2014and that was that. For their part, most people in the Weird couldn't see the boundary either. It took a special kind of person to find it, and the kids needed to remember that.\n\nGeorgie touched her hand. It was her turn. \"Past the boundary, you can't hide behind a ward stone.\" She glanced at them, but they kept going, oblivious to her fears.\n\nThe road lay deserted. Few Edgers drove up this way this time of the evening. Rose accelerated, eager to get the trip over with and be back to the safety of the house.\n\n\"Past the boundary, you can't find lost things,\" Georgie said.\n\n\"Past the boundary, you can't see in the dark.\" Jack grinned.\n\n\"Past the boundary, you can't flash,\" Rose said.\n\nThe flash was her greatest weapon. Most Edgers had their own specific talents: some prophesied, some cured tooth-aches, some raised the dead like Georgie. Some cursed like Rose and her grandmother. But flashing could be learned by anyone with a drop of magic. It wasn't a matter of talent but of practice. You took a hold of the magic inside you and channeled it from your body in a controlled burst that looked like a whip or a ribbon of lightning. If you had magic and patience, you could learn to flash, and the lighter the color of your flash, the hotter and more potent it was. A powerful bright flash was a terrible weapon. It could slice through a body like a hot knife through butter. \"Georgie, you go first.\"\n\n\"He went first the last time!\" Jack's eyes shone with amber.\n\n\"Nyaha!\"\n\n\"Yaha!\"\n\n\"Georgie goes first,\" she repeated.\n\n\"Past the boundary, you can't raise dead things,\" Georgie said.\n\n\"Past the boundary, you can't grow fur and claws,\" Jack said.\n\nThey always played the game when driving through to the Broken.

If you had magic and patience, you could learn to flash, and the lighter the color of your flash, the hotter and more potent it was. A powerful bright flash was a terrible weapon. It could slice through a body like a hot knife through butter. Most Edgers never could get their flash bright enough to kill or injure anything with it. They were mongrels, living in a place of diluted magic, and most flashed red and dark orange. Some lucky few managed green or blue.\n\nIt was her flash that had started all of their trouble.\n\nNo, Rose reflected, they'd had plenty of trouble before her. Draytons were always unlucky. Too smart and too twisted for their own good. Grandpa was a pirate and a rover. Dad was a gold digger. Grandma was stubborn like a goat and always thought she knew better than anyone else. Mom was a tramp. But all those problems didn't affect anyone but the individual Draytons. When Rose flashed white at the Graduation Fair, she focused the attention of countless Edge families squarely on their little clan. Even now, even with the rifles on the floor, she didn't regret it. She felt guilty about it, she wished things hadn't gone the way they did, but given a chance, she would do it again.\n\nAhead the road curved. Rose took the turn a bit too fast. The truck's springs creaked.\n\nA man stood in the road, like a gray smudge against the encroaching twilight.\n\nShe slammed on the brakes. The Ford skidded in a screech on the hard, dry dirt of the road. She caught a glimpse of long pale hair and piercing green eyes staring straight at her.\n\nThe truck hurtled at him. She couldn't stop it.\n\nThe man leapt straight up. Feet in dark gray boots landed on the hood of the truck with a thud and vanished. The man vaulted over the roof to the side and disappeared into the trees.\n\nThe truck slid to a stop. Rose gulped the air. Her heart fluttered in her chest. Her fingertips tingled, and she tasted bitterness on her tongue.\n\nShe stabbed the seat belt release button, threw the door open, and jumped out onto the road. \"Are you hurt?\"\n\nThe Wood lay quiet.\n\n\"Hello?\"\n\nNo answer. The man was gone.\n\n\"Rose, who was that?\" Georgie's eyes were the size of small saucers.\n\n\"I don't know.\" Relief flooded her. She hadn't hit him. She got scared out of her wits, but she hadn't hit him. Everybody was fine. Nobody was hurt. Everybody was fine . . .\n\n\"Did you see the swords?\" Jack asked.\n\n\"What swords?\" All she'd seen were the blond hair, green eyes, and some kind of cloak. She couldn't even recall his face\u2014just a pale smudge.\n\n\"He had a sword,\" Georgie said. \"On his back.\" \"Two swords,\" Jack corrected. \"One on the back and one on his belt.\"\n\nSome of the older locals liked to play with swords, but none of them had long blond hair. And none of them had eyes like that. Most people facing a truck head-on would be scared. He stared her down as if she had insulted him by nearly running him over. Like he was some sort of king of the road.\n\nStrangers were never good in the Edge. It wasn't wise to linger.\n\nJack sniffed the air, wrinkling his nose the way he did when he looked for a scent trail. \"Let's find him.\"\n\n\"Let's not.\"\n\n\"Rose . . .\"\n\n\"You're on thin ice already.\" She climbed into the truck and shut the door. \"We're not chasing after some knucklehead who thinks he's too important to walk on the shoulder.\" She snorted, trying to get her heart rate under control.\n\nGeorgie opened his mouth.\n\n\"Not another word.\"\n\nA couple of minutes later, they reached the boundary, the point where the Edge ended and the Broken began. Rose always recognized the precise moment when she passed into the Broken. First, anxiety stabbed right through her chest, followed by an instant of intense vertigo, and then pain. It was as if the shiver of magic, the warm spark that existed somewhere inside her, died during the crossing. The pain lasted only a blink, but she always dreaded it. It left her feeling incomplete. Broken. That's how the name for the magic-less dimension had come about.\n\nThere was an identical boundary on the opposite end of the Edge, the one that guarded the passage to the Weird. She never tried to cross it. She wasn't sure her magic would be strong enough for her to survive.\n\nThey entered the Broken without any trouble. The Wood ended with the Edge. Mundane Georgia oaks and pines replaced the ancient dark trees. The dirt became pavement.\n\nThe narrow two-lane road brought them past the twin gas stations to the parkway. Rose checked the parkway for oncoming traffic, took a right, and headed toward the town of Pine Barren.\n\nAbove them an airplane thundered, fixing to land at the Savannah airport only a couple of miles away. The woods gave way to half-finished shopping plazas and construction equipment, scattered among heaps of red Georgia mud. Ponds and streams interrupted the landscape\u2014with the coast only forty minutes away, every hole in the ground sooner or later filled up with water.

More than 5,100 feature films are included, with more than 900 newly added. Many of the original entries have been fine-tuned and expanded. The criterion for inclusion is simple: an extant film that is, or has been, available for public viewing in some format. This includes theatrical, television, 16mm, 8mm and Super 8mm film and various video formats, along with prints housed in archives. The initial volume had purchase sources for some titles but with the ever changing video market this has been dispensed with since a check of the internet can usually determine availability.\n\nEach entry includes film title, release company and year, running time; if available in color (otherwise the movie is in black and white); a thorough cast listing, a plot synopsis and a brief critical review.\n\nThe following two abbreviations are used in the entries: D for Director and SC for Script.\n\nOnly feature films (running nearly four reels or approximately 40 minutes or more) are included in the text; there are no X-rated movies unless an R-rated version has been released. Running times may vary according to source. When films have been edited (mainly for television) they have a shorter running time; the original running times are included in the text. A number of films, especially from Republic Pictures, were edited to 54 minutes for television showings.\n\nRegarding cast listings, sometimes spellings vary and a Screen Names appendix is provided to help sort these out as well as alternate names. Actors' sons often drop the \"Jr.\" in the later years of their careers, such cases including Noah Beery, Jr., Lon Chaney, Jr., and Alan Hale, Jr.\n\nThe book includes all aspects of the Western film genre, not just shoot-'em-ups, with the bottom line having the plot take place on the frontier. As America developed frontier boundaries extended westward, thus _Drums Along the Mohawk_ is a frontier drama of the 1760s while _Stagecoach_ is part of the post\u2013Civil War frontier of the West. In these pages will be found north woods dramas, south of the border action films, outdoor adventures and foreign titles that either deal with the American frontier or have plots indigenous to the Western.\n\nAs noted in the first volume, opinions on movies are purely subjective and should be taken for that and nothing more. What appeals to one viewer may not appeal to another. My reviews of the movies are my own opinion and are no more than suggestions for the reader and hardly the final word. It is my hope the readers of this volume will find it enjoyable as well as useful.\n\nAny additions, corrections or comments regarding this volume are welcome, sent in care of the publisher.\n\nThanks goes to John Hellstrom and Douglas Deegan for additional title suggestions and the Moving Image Section, Library of Congress (Rosemary Hanes), for reference assistance.\n* * *\n\n### THE FEATURE FILMS AND SERIALS\n\n* * *\n\n**  \n**\n\n**1** _ **Abilene Town**_ **** United Artists, 1946. 89 min.

Carpenter, Harrison Greene. In an attempt to turn his back on a lawless past, a young man joins a medicine show as a sharpshooter and becomes allied with citizens opposed to businessmen who are terrorizing them in order to thwart competition. Very good Roy Rogers vehicle with a fine supporting cast of familiar faces.\n\n_**Bad Man of Harlem**_ see _**Harlem on the Prairie**_\n\n**202** _ **Bad Man's River**_ **** Scotia International, 1972. 89 min.

In 1905 an outlaw gang his hired by a Mexican revolutionary leader to blow up a safe but the crooks get involved with a beautiful woman and a double-cross. This Spanish-Italian-French co-production does not know whether to be a Western or a comedy and it fails miserably at both. Filmed in Spain as _**El Hombre del Rio Malo**_ (The Man of the Bad River). Alternate video title: _**Hunt the Man Down**_.\n\n_**Bad Men of Arizona**_ see _**Arizona Raiders**_ (1938)\n\n**203** _ **Bad Men of Missouri**_ **** Warner Bros., 1941. 71 min. D: Ray Enright.

A U.S. marshal masquerading as an outlaw and a female Mexican agent investigating a counterfeit ring join forces to bring in the crooks.

With Johnny Mack Brown, Lois January, Tom London, Ernie Adams, Dick Curtis, Jack Rockwell, Milburn Morante, Horace Murphy, Budd Buster, Frank Ellis, George Morrell, Tex Palmer, Horace B. Carpenter, Art Dillard, Oscar Gahan. When he falsely accused of rustling a fellow rancher's cattle, a man seeks the real culprits. Typically good Johnny Mack Brown-Republic production with a cast of familiar faces.\n\n**245** _ **Barbarosa**_ **** Universal, 1982. 90 min. Color. D: Fred Schepisi. SC: William D. Wittliff. With Gary Busey, Willie Nelson, Gilbert Roland, Isela Vega, Danny De La Paz, George Voskovec, Alma Martinez, Howard Chamberlain, Wolf Muser, Kai Wuf, Harry Caesar, Sharon Compton, Roberto Contreros, Luis Contreros, Sonia De Leon, Joanelle Romera. A young farm boy, on the run for the accidental killing of his brother-in-law, is befriended by a notorious outlaw who teaches him to survive. Offbeat oater which got little theatrical release is fair although Willie Nelson is likable in the title role and Gilbert Roland is powerful as a vengeful patron.\n\n**246** _ **Barbary Coast**_ **** United Artists, 1935. 91 min. D: Howard Hawks. SC: Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. With Miriam Hopkins, Edward G. Robinson, Joel McCrea, Walter Brennan, Frank Craven, Brian Donlevy, Otto Hoffman, Rollo Lloyd, Donald Meek, Harry Carey, Robert Gray, Clyde Cook, J.M.

In San Francisco in 1849, a dance hall queen throws over a corrupt gambling house operator for an honest, but broke, young man.

When a Confederate officer sets off an extortion plot he finds himself opposed by a casino owner and a government agent in San Francisco in the 1860s. Moderately sustaining telefeature that served as the pilot for the \"Barbary Coast\" (ABC-TV, 1975\u201376) series starring William Shatner and Doug McClure.\n\n**248** _ **Barbary Coast Gent**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1944. 87 min.

In the 1890s a likable crook makes a quick getaway from San Francisco and goes to Nevada where he plans to sell phony mining stock but to his surprise he reforms. Fun Wallace Beery vehicle.\n\n**249** _ **The Bargain**_ **** Paramount, 1914. 50 min. D: Reginald Barker. SC: William H. Clifford and Thomas H. Ince. With Clara Williams, J. Barney Sherry, William S. Hart, J. Frank Burke, James Dowling. A notorious bandit is injured while trying to rob a stage and is rescued by a rancher and nursed back to health by the man's pretty daughter, with whom he falls in love. William S. Hart's first feature, in which he is third billed as the outlaw, is a good silent effort.\n\n**250** _ **Barbed Wire**_ **** Columbia, 1952. 61 min. D: George Archainbaud. SC: Gerald Geraghty. With Gene Autry, Pat Buttram, Anne James, William Fawcett, Leonard Penn, Michael Vallon, Terry Frost, Clayton Moore, Edwin Parker, Sandy Sanders. When he can no longer find fresh herds, a cattle buyer uncovers a plot by a rancher to get homesteaders' lands so he can construct a railroad.

With Vincent Price, Ellen Drew, Beulah Bondi, Reed Hadley, Vladimir Sokoloff, Robert Barrat, Robin Short, Barbara Woodell, Tina Rome, Margia Dean, Edward Keene, Gene Roth, Karen Kester, Joseph Green, Fred Kohler, Jr., Tristram Coffin, I. Stanford Jolley, Terry Frost, Angelo Rossitto, Zachary Yaconelli, Wheaton Chambers, Stuart Holmes, Jonathan Hale, Stanley Price, Sam Flint, Richard Cramer, Adolfo Ornelas, Robert O'Neil, Stephen Harrison, George Meader, Ed East, Al Haskell. A clerk in the Arizona land office spends years falsifying documents in order to prove he is the legal heir to thousands of acres in Arizona. Top notch work by Vincent Price in the title role, leading lady Ellen Drew and director-writer Samuel Fuller make this historical based film worth watching.\n\n**252** _ **Barricade**_ **** Warner Bros., 1950. 75 min. Color. D: Peter Godfrey. SC: William Sackheim. With Dane Clark, Raymond Massey, Ruth Roman, Robert Douglas, Morgan Farley, Walter Loy, George Stern, Robert Griffin, Frank Marlowe, Tony Martinez. Two outlaws come to the rescue of the denizens of a mining camp who are under the ruthless control of a tyrant. Fairly good Western reworking of _**The Sea Wolf**_ (Warner Bros., 1941).\n\n**253** _ **Barricade on the Big Black**_ **** NBC-TV, 1957. 54 min. D-SC: Anthony Spinner. With Richard Crenna, Mary LaRoche, Andrew Duggan, George Galbreth. An Indian-hating Army lieutenant finds himself falling in love with the white wife of a hostile warrior.

Kerrigan, Robert Barrat, Andy Clyde, Sally Martin, Sara Haden, Addison Richards, Allen Davies. After her true background is revealed to her lover, a young woman decides to join her father, an Alaskan sea captain. Filmed at Washington's Mount Baker National Forest, this drama from Rex Beach's novel is an above average programmer. First filmed in 1926 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer with Norman Kerry, Henry B. Walthall, Lionel Barrymore and Marceline Day.\n\n**255** _ **Barquero**_ **** United Artists, 1970. 115 min. Color. D: Gordon Douglas. SC: George Schenck and William Marks.

Action filled but extremely violent and bloody oater, in the style Lee Van Cleef did in Europe.\n\n**256** _ **The Bat People**_ **** American International, 1974. 95 min. Color. D: Jerry Jameson. SC: Lou Shaw. With Stewart Moss, Marianne McAndrew, Michael Pataki, Paul Carr, Arthur Space, Robert Berk, Pat Delaney, George Paulsin, Bonnie Van Dyke, Jeni Kulik, Laura Brooks Jefferson, Herb Pierce. While on his honeymoon, a doctor is bitten by a bat in New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns and becomes a monster.

SC: Gerald Drayson Adams. With John Lund, Jeff Chandler, Beverly Tyler, Susan Cabot, Bruce Cowling, John Hudson, James Best, Regis Toomey, Richard Egan, Hugh O'Brian, William Reynolds, Jay Silverheels, Tommy Cook, Jack Elam, Richard Garland, Jack Ingram, John Baer. An Army major and the Indian chief Cochise try to work together to keep the renegade Geronimo from slaughtering settlers. Jeff Chandler repeats the role of Cochise from _**Broken Arrow**_ (q.v.) but this outing is no competition for that classic.\n\n**258** _ **Battle of Greed**_ **** Crescent, 1937. 59 min. D: Howard Higgin. SC: John T. Neville. With Tom Keene, Gwynne Shipman, James Bush, Jimmy Butler, Budd Buster, Lloyd Ingraham, Bob Callahan, Henry Roquemore, Rafael (Ray) Bennett, Robert Fiske, Carl Stockdale, William Worthington. A young man becomes involved in treachery following the discovery of the Comstock Lode in Virginia City. One of the pseudo-historical features Tom Keene made for Crescent, it even includes Mark Twain in the adventure; average for the series.\n\n**259** _ **Battle of Rogue River**_ **** Columbia, 1954. 71 min. Color. D: William Castle. SC: Douglas Heyes. With George Montgomery, Martha Hyer, Richard Denning, John Crawford, Emory Parnell, Michael Granger, Bill Bryant, Charles Evans, Lee Roberts, Steven Ritch, Frank Sully, Bill Hale, Jimmy Lloyd, Willis Bouchey. Settlers in Oregon in 1850 want statehood but this cannot be accomplished without the signing of a peace treaty with local Indians. Producer Sam Katzman must have spent the budget on Technicolor because the title battle is not much although the film entertains adequately.\n\n**260** _ **The Battles of Chief Pontiac**_ **** Realart, 1952. 71 min. D: Felix Feist. SC: Jack DeWitt. With Lex Barker, Lon Chaney, Helen Westcott, Berry Kroeger, Roy Roberts, Larry Chance, Katherine Warren, Ramsey Hill, Guy Teague, James Fairfax, Abner George. In the early 1760s a ranger tries to negotiate a peace treaty between the British and Chief Pontiac only to find that a Hessian renegade is selling guns to the Indians. Cheaply made and historically inaccurate but not bad entertainment.\n\n**261** _ **Battlin' Buckaroo**_ **** Anchor, 1924. 60 min. D-SC: Alvin J. Neitz (Alan James). With Bill Patton, Peggy O'Day, Andrew Waldron, Lew Meehan, Anthony Freendenthall, Fred Hank. A nester loves a rancher's daughter but gets the blame when her father is cheated by his crooked foreman. Low grade Bill Patton (whose screen persona was like that of a silent Jimmy Wakely) vehicle, action filled with nice photography (Marvin Hughes) and desert locales.\n\n**262** _ **Battling Buckaroo**_ **** Willis Kent, 1932. 60 min. D: Armand Schaefer. SC: Oliver Drake. With Lane Chandler, Doris Hill, Yakima Canutt, Lafe McKee, Bill Patton, Ted Adams, Olin Francis, Bart Carre, Herman Hack, Pat Harmon, Cliff Lyons, Fred Parker. When crooks try to steal their gold, a Mexican rancher and his daughter are helped by an outlaw. Not much to recommend this one except for star Lane Chandler.\n\n**263** _ **Battling Marshal**_ **** Astor, 1950. 55 min. D: Oliver Drake. SC: Rose Kreves. With Sunset Carson, Pat Starling, Lee Roberts, Forrest Matthews, Al Terry, A.J. Baxley, Richard Bartell, Bob Curtis, Pat Gleason, Stephen Keyes, Don Gray, Dale Carson, William Val, Buck Buckley, Joe Hiser. Two federal marshals arrive in a small town to investigate attempts made on the life of a rancher. Very low grade Sunset Carson vehicle.\n\n_**Battling Outlaw**_ see _**Billy the Kid in Texas**_\n\n**264** _ **Battling with Buffalo Bill**_ **** Universal, 1931. 12 Chapters. D: Ray Taylor. SC: George Plympton and Ella O'Neal. With Tom Tyler, Lucille Brown, Rex Bell, William Desmond, Francis Ford, Yakima Canutt, Chief Thundercloud, Franklyn Farnum, Joe Bonomo, Art Mix, Bud Osborne, John Beck, George Regas, Jim Thorpe, Bobby Nelson, Edmund Cobb, Fred Humes. Scout Buffalo Bill Cody helps a young woman whose father's mine is sought by a crook and his gang who have incited Indian attacks. Not much history here but there is plenty of action to make up for it in this cliffhanger.\n\n**265** _ **The Bear**_ **** Tri Star Pictures, 1988. 96 min. Color. D: Jean-Jacques Annaud. SC: Gerard Brach. With Bart (bear), Youk (bear cub), Tcheky Karyo, Jack Wallace, Andre Lacombe. An orphan bear cub is protected by a huge Kodiak Bear who is being pursued by hunters. Picturesque and loving adaptation of _The Grizzly King_ by James Oliver Curwood.\n\n_**Bearheart of the Great Northwest**_ see _**Legend of Bearheart**_\n\n**266** _ **Beartooth**_ **** Filmark Entertainment Group, 1978. 86 min. Color. D: Zach Belcher. SC: Mary H. Belcher. With Dub Taylor, Buck Taylor, Johnny Bush, Judy Nugent. A man has to coexist with a huge bear so both of them can survive a terrible blizzard in the savage wilderness. Tacky production whose only asset is fine photography by James A. Sullivan; also called _**The Adventures of Bear Tooth**_.\n\n**267** _ **The Bears and I**_ **** Buena Vista, 1974. 89 min. Color. D: Bernard McEveety. SC: John Whedon. With Patrick Wayne, Chief Dan George, Andrew Duggan, Michael Ansara, Robert Pine, Val De Vargas, Hal Baylor. A Vietnam War veteran moves to the north woods where he becomes embroiled in a dispute between Indians and settlers. This Walt Disney production is only average but the scenery is nice.\n\n**268** _ **The Beast**_ **** West Devon\/Nadir Cinematographica, 1970. 90 min. Color. D: Mario Costa. SC: Franco Calabrese and Mario Costa. With Klaus Kinski, Gabriella Girogelli, Luisa Rivelli, Steven Tedd, Lee Burton, Gianni Pallavicino, Andrea Aureli, Remo Capitani, Giuliano Raffaelli, Paul Sullivan, Grazia De Marze, Fioni Florence, Giora Garson, Cristina Iosani, Vittorio Mangano, Ivana Novak. A madman and his gang travels through the West leaving a path of rape and murder, planning to kidnap an heiress about to come into a huge inheritance. For Klaus Kinski followers, but well done.\n\n**269** _ **The Beast of Hollow Mountain**_ **** United Artists, 1956. 80 min. Color. D: Edward Nassour and Ismael Rodriquez. SC: Robert Hill. With Guy Madison, Patricia Medina, Eduardo Noriega, Carlos Rivas, Marjo Navarro, Pascual Garcia Pena, Margarito Luna. When cattle begin disappearing from his ranch, a man tries to learn the cause and discovers a huge dinosaur. Taken from a story by Willis O'Brien, this film combines the horror and Western genres, but not very well, although the prehistoric beast looks good. Filmed in Mexico as _**El Monstruo de la Montana Hueca**_ (The Monster of the Hollow Mountain).\n\n**270** _ **Beau Bandit**_ **** RKO Productions, 1930. 68 min. D: Lambert Hillyer. SC: Wallace Smith. With Rod La Rocque, Doris Kenyon, Mitchell Lewis, Walter Long, Charles Middleton, George Duryea (Tom Keene\/Richard Powers), James Donlan, Charles Brinley, Barney Furey, Bill Patton, Kenneth Cooper, Bob Erickson, Gordon Jones, Walt Robbins, Ben Corbett. A notorious bandit plans a bank heist but becomes enamored with a pretty girl only to find she is being sought after by the institution he is planning to rob. This early sound oater, definitely a curio today, was considered old-fashioned when it was first released.\n\n**271** _ **The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1949. 77 min. Color. D-SC: Preston Sturges. With Betty Grable, Cesar Romero, Rudy Vallee, Olga San Juan, Sterling Holloway, Hugh Herbert, El Brendel, Porter Hall, Danny Jackson, Emory Parnell, Alan Bridge, Chris-Pin Martin, Patti Behrs, Margaret Hamilton, J.

After a run-in with the law, a gun-toting young woman goes to a town where she is mistaken for the new school marm, but soon runs afoul of crooks. Bland Preston Sturges \"comedy\" that was a box office bust when it was issued, although a fine cast (Rudy Vallee and Emory Parnell are especially good) does its best.\n\n**Rudy Vallee, Betty Grable, Danny Jackson and Sterling Holloway in _ **The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend**_ (20th Century\u2013Fox, 1949).**\n\n**272** _ **Beauty and the Bandit**_ **** Monogram, 1946. 77 min. D: William Nigh. SC: Charles Belden. With Gilbert Roland, Ramsay Ames, Martin Garralaga, Frank Yaconelli, Vida Aldana, George J. Lewis, William Gould, Dimas Sotello, Felipe Turich, Glenn Strange, Alex Montoya, Artie Ortego. The Cisco Kid joins forces with a beautiful female bandit who is fighting corrupt officials. Nicely done \"Cisco Kid\" series adventure for which star Gilbert Roland wrote additional dialogue; the film is greatly helped by the presence of the luscious Ramsay Ames as a female Robin Hood.\n\n**273** _ **Before the White Man Came**_ **** FC, 1921. 50 min. D: John Maple. SC: William E. Wing. The story of the American Indian and the tribes who lived in the West before the arrival of white settlers. Rather interesting, if somewhat crude, semi-documentary made in the B Horn Mountains of Montana and Wyoming with the cooperation of the Crow people (the film has an all Native American cast) who had adopted director John Maple into their tribe. Production was made in association with the Department of Indian Affairs and endorsed by the Department of the Interior.\n\n**274** _ **Behind Southern Lines**_ **** Monogram, 1952. 51 min. D: Thomas Carr. SC: Melvin Levy and Maurice Tombragel.

During the Civil War, Union officer Wild Bill Hickok and his pal Jingle P. Jones go on a spy mission into the Confederacy and after the war, as U.S. marshals, they try to stop a gunman forcing a protection racket on miners. Okay initial theatrical release of episodes (\"Behind Southern Lines\" and \"The Silver Mine Protection Story\") of \"The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok\" (1951\u201358).\n\n**275** _ **Behind the Mask of Zorro**_ **** Duca\/Hispamer\/Promidex Film, 1965. 97 min.

The California governor's butler is really Zorro who is trying to capture a bandit fomenting a revolution. Another in the long line of European \"Zorro\" sagas, this one being fairly good. An Italian-Spanish co-production filmed as _**El Zorro Cabalga Otra Vez**_ (Zorro Rides Another Time) and also called _**Oath of Zorro**_.\n\n**276** _ **Behind Two Guns**_ **** Aywon, 1924. 58 min. D-SC: Robert North Bradbury. With J.B. Warner, Hazel Newman, Jim Welch, Otto Lederer, William Calles, Marin Sais, Jay Morley, Jack Waltemeyer, Emile Gerdes, Bart Carre, Robert North Bradbury. A physician and his Indian cohort try to solve mysterious strongbox robberies. This fair silent Anthony J. Xydias production provides a chance to see a J.B. Warner vehicle.\n\n**277** _ **Belle Le Grand**_ **** Republic, 1951. 90 min. D: Allan Dwan. SC: D.D. Beauchamp. With Vera Ralston, John Carroll, William Ching, Muriel Lawrence, Hope Emerson, Grant Withers, Stephen Chase, John Qualen, Henry (Harry) Morgan, Charles Cane, Thurston Hall, Marietta Canty, Glenn Vernon, Don Beddoe, Isabel Randolph, John Holland, Frank Wilcox, Paul Maxey, Pierre Watkin, John Hart, Edward Keane, Russell Hicks, Sam Flint, Ed Cassidy, John Hamilton, Perry Ivins, William Schallert, Maude Eburne, Carl \"Alfalfa\" Switzer, Queenie Smith, Peter Brocco, Hal Price, Dick Elliott, Andrew Tombes, Eddie Parks, Fred Hoose, James Kirkwood, John Wengraft, Howard Negley, Ruth Robinson, Gino Corrado, Thomas Browne Henry, James Arness, Eddie Dunn, Emory Parnell, Chester Clute, Sam Flint, Rodney Bell, John Close, John Vosper, Howard Mitchell, Jimmy Ogg, Don C. Harvey, Jerry Miley, Joseph Granby, Sam Sebby. In Virginia City a lady gambler marries a no-account she loves despite the fact the man has a yen for her younger sister. Big production, good supporting cast, empty script\u2014mediocre film.\n\n**278** _ **Belle of the Yukon**_ **** RKO Radio, 1944. 84 min. D: William A. Seiter. SC: James Edward Grant.

With Randolph Scott, Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, John Shepperd (Shepperd Strudwick), Elizabeth Patterson, Chill Wills, Louise Beavers, Olin Howland, Paul Burns, Joseph Sawyer, Joseph Downing, Charles Trowbridge, Howard Hickman, James Flavin, Charles Middleton, Matthew \"Stymie\" Beard, Mae Marsh, Kermit Maynard, Franklyn Farnum, Cecil Weston, Hugh Chapman, Davison Clark, George Reed, Norman Willis, Clarence Muse, Clinton Rosemond, Michael Morris, Dolores Hurlic, George Melford, Herbert Ashley, Billy Wayne, Dick Rich. After the Civil War, a Confederate guerilla leader and his bandit-wife wage a private war against local carpetbaggers. Not much fact in this screen biography of Belle Starr but who cares with Gene Tierney to look at?\n\n**280** _ **Belle Starr**_ **** CBS-TV, 1980. 97 min. Color. D: John A. Alonzo. SC: James Lee Barrett. With Elizabeth Montgomery, Cliff Potts, Michael Cavanaugh, Fred Ward, Jesse Vint, Allan Vint, Geoffrey Lewis, Gary Combs, Sandy McPeak, David Knell, Geno Silva, Michelle Stacy, Peter Hobbs, Morgan Paull, Sarah Cunningham, Stony Bower, Burt Edwards, James Burke, Dee Cooper, Gilbert Combs, Kate Williams, John Edwards. Another retelling of the life of Belle Starr, this time showing her as a rebellious female who deserts her lover to ride with the likes of the James, Dalton and Younger brothers. Like its theatrical predecessor, this TV film has little foundation in fact but Elizabeth Montgomery is good in the title role.\n\n**281** _ **Belle Starr Story**_ **** Eureka Films\/Mercurfilm, 1968. 103 min. Color. D-SC: Nathan Wich (Piero Cristofani and Lina Wertmuller). With Elsa Martinelli, Robert Woods, George Eastman, Dan Harrison, Francesca Righini, Bruno Corazzari, Vladmer Nedar, Eugene Walter, Remo De Angelis. The two men she loves leads lovely Belle Starr into a life of crime in the Old West and when one of the is captured during a robbery she comes to his rescue. Not much in the way of historical fact in this Italian production, made as _**Il Mio Corpo per un Poker**_ (My Body for a Poker), but Elsa Martinelli is easy to look at in the title role.\n\n**282** _ **Belle Starr's Daughter**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1947. 85 min. D: Lesley Selander. SC: W.R. Burnett. With George Montgomery, Rod Cameron, Ruth Roman, Wallace Ford, Charles Kemper, William Phipps, Edith King, Chris-Pin Martin, Jack Lambert, J.

Burns, Lane Chandler, Alvin Hammer, Harry Harvey, Bill Kennedy, Herbert Heywood, Henry Hall, John \"Skins\" Miller, William Ruhl, Hank Patterson, Carol Henry, Rudy Bowman, Johnny Reese. A marshal is blamed for the murder of Belle Starr and her daughter comes to town to avenge her mother's death. Better than average outlaw yarn aided by its trio of stars, steady direction and a good script.\n\n**283** _ **Bells of Capistrano**_ **** Republic, 1942. 73 min. D: William Morgan. SC: Lawrence Kimble. With Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Virginia Grey, Lucien Littlefield, Morgan Conway, Claire DuBrey, Charles Kane, Joe Strauch, Jr., Marla Shelton, Tristram Coffin, Jay Novello, Alan Bridge, Eddie Acuff, Jack O'Shea, Julian Rivero, William Forrest, Ken Christy, Dick Wessell, Guy Usher, Ralph Peters, Joe McGuinn, Terrisita Osta, Howard Hickman, William Kellogg, Peggy Satterlee, Frankie Marvin, Ray Jones. Singer Gene Autry and his crew join a rodeo targeted for destruction by a rival outfit. Gene Autry's last pre\u2013World War II starrer is on the sluggish side.\n\n**284** _ **Bells of Coronado**_ **** Republic, 1950. 67 min. Color. D: William Witney. SC: Sloan Nibley. With Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Grant Withers, Foy Willing and The Riders of the Purple Sage, Pat Brady, Clifton Young, Robert Bice, Stuart Randall, Leo Cleary, John Hamilton, Edmund Cobb, Rex Lease, Lane Bradford, Eddie Lee, Henry Rowland, Loren Riebe, Duke Green. Insurance investigator Roy Rogers tries to find missing uranium ore thought to be sought after by a foreign power. Good action and an entertaining storyline make this an above average later Roy Rogers feature.\n\n**285** _ **Bells of Innocence**_ **** Good Times, 2003. 110 min. Color. D: Alin Bijan. SC: Chris Bessey. With Chuck Norris, Mike Norris, Carey Scott, David A.R. White, Marshall R.

After the death of his daughter, a man and two friends embark on a journey and end up in a remote Texas town where they have to confront a evil mystery man who controls the area.

Movie star Roy Rogers tries to keep a circus from being taken over by crooks and he enlists the help of other screen cowboy heroes (Don \"Red\" Barry, Sunset Carson, Bill Elliott, Allan Lane, Bob Livingston). Interesting Roy Rogers outing with too much music and pretty Adele Mara stealing the acting honors.\n\n**287** _ **Bells of San Angelo**_ **** Republic, 1947. 71 min. Color. D: William Witney. SC: Sloan Nibley. With Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Andy Devine, John McGuire, Olaf Hytten, David Sharpe, Fritz Leiber, Hank Patterson, Fred \"Snowflake\" Toones, Eddie Acuff, Bob Nolan and The Sons of the Pioneers (Tim Spencer, Lloyd Perryman, Pat Brady, Hugh Farr, Karl Farr), Dale Van Sickel, Buck Bucko, James Linn, Eddie Parker, Fred Graham, Luana Walters, Keefe Brasselle, Rex Rossi, Charles Sullivan, Ray Turner.

A deputy sheriff enlists the help of a bandit in opposing a ranch owner who kills lawmen so his gang can rustle cattle. Pleasing early John Wayne vehicle with the usual larger-than-life villainy of Noah Beery.

The film's theme song is \"Under a Texas Moon.\"\n\n**328** _ **The Big Trail**_ **** United Artists, 1930. 158 min. D: Raoul Walsh. SC: Jack Peabody, Marie Boyle and Florence Postal.

While leading settlers west a young wagon master plans to avenge the murder of a trapper friend by one of the travelers. Originally shot in both 35 mm and 70 mm, this expansive production is a delight to the eye as well as providing John Wayne with a fine first starring role; it is hard to understand why this film was not more popular when it was released. Recommended. Later cut to 125 and 110-minute versions.\n\n**329** _ **The Big Trees**_ **** Warner Bros., 1952. 89 min. Color. D: Felix Feist. SC: John Twist and James R. Webb.

When the existence of a freedom school for runaway teenagers on an Indian reservation in Arizona is threatened by the citizens of a small town, a half-breed Vietnam veteran comes to its aid.

Billy the Kid murders a cattle baron in revenge for the death of a pal, then gets married, but he and his bride are trailed by Sheriff Pat Garrett, and a posse.

A fair remake of the 1930 _**Billy the Kid**_ (q.v.) with Robert Taylor miscast in the lead although Brian Donlevy is very good as Pat Garrett, here called Jim Sherwood.\n\n**333** _ **Billy the Kid**_ **** Turner Home Entertainment, 1989. 96 min.

Best at the beginning when Frankie Laine sings the title song.\n\n**386** _ **Blazing Six Shooters**_ **** Columbia, 1940. 61 min. D: Joseph H. Lewis. SC: Paul Franklin.

Three sexy stewardesses come to the rescue of a rancher friend being robbed by his crooked foreman who is in cahoots with the local madam romancing the cattleman. Forgetting the brief opening sex scenes, this is a mild, amusing tribute to Westerns of yore, complete with a masked hero and a score made up of Gordon Zahler's music; lots of fun, especially from Harry and Jimmy Ritz, last minute replacements for The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Joe Da Rita, Emil Sitka). Re-titled _**Cathouse Girls**_ , _**The Great Truck Robbery**_ , _**Texas Layover**_ and _**Up Like a Shot!**_\n\n**389** _ **The Blazing Sun**_ **** Columbia, 1950. 70 min. D: John English.

Harvey, Lee Morgan, Pierce Lyden, Ed Coch, Reed Howes, Kermit Maynard, Al Ferguson, Bud Osborne, Jack O'Shea, Ray Jones. A crooked rancher organizes a gang to raid the overland trail but he is opposed by an Army scout and a Pony Express agent. Tacky cliffhanger, the last made in the U.S. and a sad finale to a grand genre. It includes footage from _**Overland with Kit Carson**_ and _**White Eagle**_ (1941) [qq.v.].\n\n**391** _ **Blazing the Western Trail**_ **** Columbia, 1945. 60 min. D: Vernon Keays. SC: J.

The Three Mesquiteers are suspected of killing an eccentric man and they try to expose the murderer as well as his motive. A mystery motif with the killing of the miner only witnessed by his dwarf horse makes this \"Three Mesquiteers\" a bit different.\n\n**396** _ **Blood and Guns**_ **** Filmamerica, 1968 90 min.

An Army prisoner is the only survivor of an Indian attack and he takes refuge with a couple whose son has been kidnapped by the tribe and ransomed for rifles. None-too-interesting Indians-on-the-warpath affair; looks like it should have been made a decade before in black and white.\n\n**402** _ **Blood on the Moon**_ **** RKO Radio, 1948. 88 min. D: Robert Wise. SC: Lillie Hayward.

When his rustler pal hires a gunman to run a young woman and her father off their ranch either by persuasion or cattle theft, the gunfighter finds himself falling for the girl. Studio bound Western should have been more interesting but is greatly helped by its trio of stars, especially Robert Mitchum.\n\n**403 Blood River** Constantin, 1966. 93 min. Color.

Color. D: Wolfgang Schmidt (Ray Dennis Steckler). SC: Christopher Edwards. With Carolyn Brandt, Ron Haydock, Jason Wayne, Laurel Spring, John Bates, Steve Edwards, Linda Steckler, Laura Steckler. A woman inherits a ranch said to be plagued by a mysterious phantom. All this modern-day Western offers is a slim, slim budget, a few murders and some tepid rodeo footage. Alternate title: _**The Chopper**_. Some prints run 60 and 70 minutes.\n\n**405** _ **Bloody Trail**_ **** Academy Entertainment, 1972. 91 min. Color. D: Richard Robinson. SC: Gale Robinson and David Allen Russell (Hagen Smith). With Paul Harper, Rance Howard, John Mitchum, Rickey Richardson, Hagen Smith, Eve York, Richard Benedict. During Reconstruction after the Civil War in the South, an ex\u2013Union soldier runs afoul of both former Confederates and slaves.

SC: Philip Yordan. With Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, Ruth Roman, Anthony Quinn, Ward Bond, Ian MacDonald, Richard Karlan, Juan Garcia. A wildcatter puts up all his money in hopes of striking it rich with a gusher while his ex-love, now the wife of a rich oil tycoon, want to renew their relationship. Filmed in Mexico, this steamy oil fields drama promises more than it delivers; Frankie Laine sings the title song.\n\n**407** _ **Blue**_ **** Paramount, 1968. 113 min. Color. D: Silvio Narizzano. SC: Meade Roberts and Ronald M. Cohen. With Terence Stamp, Joanna Pettet, Karl Malden, Ricardo Montalban, Anthony Costello, Joe De Santis, James Westerfield, Stathis Giallelis, Carlos East, Robert Lipton, Kevin Corcoran, Wes Bishop, Sally Kirkland, William Shannon, Michael Nader, Marian Mason, Jerry Gatlin. Raised by a Mexican bandit, a young man finds himself resented by the outlaw's three sons and distrusted by Americans as well as Mexicans. Big, expensive Western that proves foreign genre directors cannot improve their craft in Hollywood; not much of a film.\n\n**408** _ **Blue Blazes Rawden**_ **** Paramount-Artcraft, 1918. 55 min. D: William S. Hart. SC: J.G. Hawks. With William S. Hart, Maude George, Gertrude Claire, Robert McKim, Robert Gordon, Hart (Jack) Hoxie. A lumber camp worker wins a saloon in a bet but is forced to shoot and kill the owner only to be reformed by the dead man's mother. Another frontier morality play from William S.

When fur thieves begin smuggling pelts into the United States, the government sends an agent to trace the origins of the activities and round up the gang. Fairly good Gene Autry vehicle with a well-written script and ingratiating music interludes.\n\n**411** _ **Blue Steel**_ **** Monogram, 1934. 54 min. D-SC: Robert North Bradbury.

A U.S. marshal is after the notorious Polka Dot bandit and he and a fellow lawman come to the aid of a young woman whose father was murdered by the outlaw who is working for a rancher out to take over the area because of a rich gold deposit. Good John Wayne-Lone Star Western with an atmospheric opening sequence at a half-way house during a thunderstorm where a safe robbery takes place. Reworking of _**Son of the Plains**_ (q.v.) and colorized as _**Stolen Goods**_.\n\n**Yakima Canutt, John Wayne and George Hayes in a posed scene from** _**Blue Steel**_ **(Monogram, 1934).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**412** _ **Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw**_ **** American International, 1976. 88 min. Color. D: Mark Lester. SC: Vernon Zimmerman. With Marjore Gortner, Lynda Carter, Jesse Vint, Peggy Stewart, Merrie Lynn Ross, Gerrit Graham. Believing he is the reincarnation of Billy the Kid, a punk tries to live up to the outlaw's reputation. Really bad modern-day Western.\n\n**413** _ **The Boiling Point**_ **** Allied, 1932. 70 min.

With Hoot Gibson, Helen Foster, Skeeter Bill Robbins, Lafe McKee, Tom London, George Hayes, Wheeler Oakman, William Nye, Charles Bailey, Billy Bletcher, Frank Ellis, Lew Meehan, Hattie McDaniel, Bob Burns, Art Mix, Merrill McCormick, Artie Ortego. A cowboy is sent to a neighbor's ranch and told to hold his temper for a month or lose an inheritance but once there he gets involved in a fight over a girl.

In Spanish California a man becomes the masked avenger Zorro to stop the tyranny of crooked officials. The initial sound \"Zorro\" feature is a good one, enhanced by Magna Color, fast action and an ingratiating performance by Bob Livingston as Zorro. Some prints are in black and white.\n\n**415** _ **The Bold Frontiersman**_ **** Republic, 1948. 60 min. D: Philip Ford. SC: Bob Williams. With Allan \"Rocky\" Lane, Eddy Waller, Roy Barcroft, Fred Graham, John Alvin, Francis McDonald, Ed Cassidy, Edmund Cobb, Harold Goodwin, Jack Kirk, Kenneth Terrell, Marshal Reed, Al Murphy.

With Mark Edwards, Carmen Sevilla, Fernando Sancho, Charley Bravo, Piero Lulli, Yvan Verella, Frank Brana. A gang plans to carry off the robbery of a small town bank but everything goes wrong.

Descendants of the Cartwright family run the Ponderosa ranch but are at odds with each other and a mining company out to exploit the spread. Mediocre TV movie follow up to \"Bonanza\" (NBC-TV, 1959\u201373).\n\n**418** _ **Bonanza Town**_ **** Columbia, 1951. 56 min. D: Fred F. Sears. SC: Barry Shipman and Bart Forswell.

Stanford Jolley, George Chesebro, Robert J. Wilke, Nolan Leary, Steve Clark, Zon Murray, Bud Osborne, Guy Teague, George Magrill. The Durango Kid is after an outlaw thought to be dead but is actually in cahoots with a corrupt town boss. Average \"Durango Kid\" offering that is a sequel to _**West of Dodge City**_ (q.v.). British title: _**Two-Fisted Agent**_.\n\n**419** _ **The Boogens**_ **** Jensen Farley Pictures\/Taft International, 1982. 95 min. Color. D: James L. Conway. SC: David O'Malley and Bob Hunt.

The reopening of a silver mine in a remote Utah town results in letting lose prehistoric monsters buried there since a 1912 disaster.

With Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr, Frank Morgan, Lionel Atwill, Chill Wills, Marion Martin, Minna Gombell, Joe Yule, Horace Murphy, Roy Gordon, Richard Lane, Casey Johnson, George Lessey, Sara Haden, Frank Orth, Frank McGlynn, Sr., Curt Bois, Dick Curtis, Baby Quintanilla, Nestor Paiva, Parker Barnett. Two partners strike it rich in the oil fields but soon part over money and a woman. Brawling big budget feature voted one of the top ten films of 1940 by _Film Daily_ does not hold up well, but who cares with Hedy Lamarr to look at?\n\n**421** _ **Boot Hill**_ **** Film Ventures, 1971. 87 min.

Carpenter, Snub Pollard, Archie Ricks, Harry Willingham, Ray Henderson, James Sheridan, Wally West, Jack Tornek, Tom Smith, Jack Evans, Denver Dixon, Tex Palmer, Herman Hack, Bert Dillard. The Range Busters arrive in a town plagued by a series of Wells Fargo gold shipment holdups and try to find out who is behind the lawlessness. Muddled entry in \"The Range Busters\" series although Glenn Strange is grand as a murderous prospector.\n\n**423** _ **Boothill Brigade**_ **** Republic, 1937. 58 min. D: Sam Newfield. SC: George Plympton. With Johnny Mack Brown, Claire Rochelle, Dick Curtis, Horace Murphy, Frank La Rue, Ed Cassidy, Bobby Nelson, Frank Ball, Steve Clark, Frank Ellis, Lew Meehan, Jim Corey, Tex Palmer, Sherry Tansey. A crook holds the mortgage on a rancher's land and forces him to do his bidding which upsets the man's daughter and her fiance, his foreman. Final film in Johnny Mack Brown's series for producer A.W.

With Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Judith Allen, Ra Hould, Guy Usher, Gordon (Bill) Elliott, Max Terhune, John Ward, Frankie Marvin, Chris-Pin Martin, Stanley Blystone, Bud Osborne, Merrill McCormick, Al Taylor, Nelson McDowell, Bob Reeves, Jerry Frank. Gene Autry becomes involved with the pretty daughter of an Army colonel when he sells horses to the service but finds a rival is out to close his business. Although action filled, this Gene Autry opus is somewhat hampered by a complicated plot.\n\n**Judith Allen and Gene Autry in** _**Boots and Saddles**_ **(Republic, 1937).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**425** _ **Boots of Destiny**_ **** Grand National, 1937. 56 min. D: Arthur Rosson. SC: Philip White.

A cowboy is put in jail when the local sheriff thinks he is a famous bandit after buried treasure on a young woman's ranch. Low budget effort but beefy Ken Maynard could still carry a film and this one is more than passable. The title refers to traces of clay on the villain's boots, which causes his capture.\n\n**426** _ **The Border**_ **** Universal\/RKO, 1982. 107 min. Color. D: Tony Richardson. SC: Deric Washsburn, Walon Green and David Freeman. With Jack Nicholson, Valerie Perrine, Harvey Keitel, Warren Oates, Jeff Morris, Dirk Blocker, Lonny Chapman, Elpidia Carillo, Shannon Wilcox.

Near the end of the Civil War, a Confederate officer crosses the Rio Grande River into Zona Libra, a territory separated from Mexico, to buy weapons from a self-serving general.

A government agent is sent to a community on the U.S.-Canadian border to doctor silver foxes and uncovers a crooked scheme.

As a long time sheriff trails cattle thieves, townspeople appoint a young rancher his deputy but he finds himself up against one of the area's founders in trying to clean up lawlessness.

With Tim Holt, Jane Nigh, Richard Martin, John Doucette, House Peters, Jr., Inez Cooper, Julian Rivero, Kenneth MacDonald, Vince Barnett, David Leonard.

During the California Gold Rush, a cowboy tries to clear himself after being falsely accused of criminal activities. Some fancy camerawork from director Joseph H.

The U.S. Border Patrol is up against a smuggling gang in cahoots with a self-serving politician. Early action filled Sunset Carson entry with as many plot twists as fights; one-time genre star Jack Luden appears as Sunset's brother.\n\n**466** _ **Born Reckless**_ **** Warner Bros., 1959. 79 min. D: Howard Koch. SC: Richard Landau and Aubrey Schenck. With Mamie Van Doren, Jeff Richards, Arthur Hunnicutt, Carol Ohmart, Tom Duggan, Tex Williams, Donald Barry, Nacho Galindo, Orlando Rodrigues, Johnny Olenn and Group.

Documentary about rodeo champion Casey Tibbs breeding his own bucking broncos on the Teton Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota, then driving the herd of some 400 wild horses halfway across the state and back to his ranch.

A ruthless tyrant rules an area with an iron fist and a lawman is called in to put a stop to his reign.

D: Joseph H. Lewis. SC: Oliver Drake.

Following the robbery of a telegraph company employee, a lawman is assigned to clean up a lawless town.

In order to stop crooks from taking over the West, a gang stages a series of holdups but they are tracked by a hired gunman.

Jones, Robert Anderson, Joe De Santis, Nacho Galindo, Roy Jenson, Frank Scannell, Terry Frost, Riley Hill, Al Wyatt, Barbara James. A Texan rides into a border town and befriends a Mexican who opposes the tyrant running the area. One of the well regarded features star Randolph Scott, producer Harry Joe Brown and director Budd Boetticher made in the late 1950s and one that deserves its reputation.\n\n**540** _ **Buck and the Preacher**_ **** Columbia, 1972. 102 min.

To stop attacks led by Yellow Hand on settlers, President Grant sends Buffalo Bill Cody to a fort where the scout learns a trader has been responsible for supplying the Indians with firearms. Handsomely mounted European treatment of an American historical subject, although none-too-accurate. Made in Italy by Filmes\/Corona\/Gloria Film as _**Buffalo Bill, l'roe Del Far West**_ (Buffalo Bill, Hero of the Far West).\n\n**554** _ **Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson**_ **** United Artists, 1976. 123 min.

With Paul Newman, Burt Lancaster, Joel Grey, Kevin McCarthy, Harvey Keitel, Allan Nicholls, Geraldine Chaplin, John Considine, Robert Doqui, Mike Kaplan, Bert Remsen, Bonnie Leaders, Denver Pyle, Will Sampson, Pat McCormick, Shelley Duvall. Buffalo Bill Cody uses fraud and treachery to build a reputation for himself as an Indian fighter and frontiersman.

In order to get control of a trading firm, a crook forces a cowboy to either marry the young woman who is to inherit the business or face hanging over a false murder charge.

The saga of outlaws Butch Cassidy and Harry \"The Sundance Kid\" Lonbaugh, along with the Kid's girlfriend Etta Place, including their various robberies, a spree in New York City and a trip to Bolivia, where they are chased by law enforcers. Glamorized account of the two law breakers that was very popular when released and still holds up as good entertainment.\n\n**587** _ **Butterfly**_ **** Analysis Film Releasing, 1981. 108 min. Color. D: Matt Cimber. SC: John Goff and Matt Cimber. With Pia Zadora, Stacy Keach, James Franciscus, Edward Albert, Orson Welles, Lois Nettleton, Stuart Whitman, June Lockhart, Ed McMahon, Paul Hampton, George \"Buck\" Flower, Ann Dane, Guy Gault, John O'Connor White, Peter Jason, John Goff. In 1937 the caretaker of a closed Nevada silver mine lusts for a teenage girl he believes is his daughter. Mediocre adaptation of James M. Cain's sizzling novel; Orson Welles' self-indulgent performance as a local judge has to be seen to be believed. About the only interest for genre fans is the use of Johnny Bond's recording of \"Silver on the Sage.\n\n**588** _ **Buzzy and the Phantom Pinto**_ **** Ellkay, 1941. 55 min. D: Richard C. Kahn. SC: E.C. Robertson. With Buzzy Henry, Dave O'Brien, Dorothy Short, George Morrell, Sven Hugo Borg, Milburn Morante, Frank Marlo, Harry Norman, Don Kelly, Philip Arnold.

Turner, Colin Foo, Anthony Harrison, Mark Holden, Joanna Piros. When a teenager wants to go home after being sent to spend the summer with his grandfather in Colorado, the old cowboy has them make the trip on horseback.

With Jack Perrin, Alma Rayford, Nelson McDowell, Wilbur McGaugh, Barney Furey, Martin Turner, Floyd Ames, Bob McFarland, Chris-Pin Martin. Returning home from World War I, a cowpoke rescues a girl during a runaway and later is broken out of jail for a crime he did not commit by her father before saving her from kidnappers. Average Jack Perrin silent film highlighting his beautiful steed Starlight.\n\n**594** _ **Cahill, United States Marshal**_ Warner Bros., 1973. 103 min. Color. D: Andrew V. McLaglen.

A dedicated U.S. marshal neglects his two sons in deference to duty and in going after a robbery gang he learns his boys are mixed up in the crime.

With Scott Brady, John Carradine, Robert Dix, Don Epperson, Adair Jamison, Darwin Jaston, Bruce Kimball, Teresa Shaw, Willis Martin. Seven bikers in a modern Western town are transported back to the frontier of the 1870s.

Kenrick, Gloria Henry, Mavis Neal Palmer, Theresa DePaolo. In the 1870s wild west gal Calamity Jane gets involved with Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody as she tries to make an independent life for herself. A mediocre TV movie about the Western legend from a feminist viewpoint.\n\n**599** _ **Calamity Jane and Sam Bass**_ **** Universal-International, 1949. 85 min. Color. D: George Sherman.

With Yvonne De Carlo, Howard Duff, Dorothy Hart, Willard Parker, Norman Lloyd, Marc Lawrence, Houseley Stevenson, Milburn Stone, Clifton Young, John Rodney, Roy Roberts, Ann Doran, Charles Cane, Walter Baldwin, Paul Maxey, George Carleton, Harry Harvey, Jack Ingram, Francis McDonald, Douglas Walton, Nedrick Young, Russ Conway, Pierce Lyden, I. Stanford Jolley, Stanley Blystone, Roy Butler, Frank McCarroll, Bob Perry. When his prize horse is killed by crooks, Sam Bass takes to crime and meets Calamity Jane, but he prefers a sheriff's sister.

A rodeo rider goes to Canada and falls in love with a girl but has to take it on the lam when her father, who objected to their romance, is murdered by a poacher who puts the blame on the cowboy.

During the Gold Rush a wagon master with a past and a shady lady get involved in a scheme by crooks to keep California from attaining statehood.

With Jock Mahoney, Faith Domergue, Michael Pate, Susan Seaforth, Rodolfo Hoyos, Penny Santon, Nestor Paiva, Felix Locher, Charles Horvath. In 1841 the people of California revolt against Mexican oppression and ask the U.S. for statehood.

A young nobleman aids the Spanish government when Russia tries to lay claim to California.

When Mexican ranchers are forced off their land by crooks an Army captain is sent to California to stop the injustice. Buck Jones' final Columbia series Western is an okay effort but not up to the standards of some of his earlier features for the company.\n\n**607** _ **California Gold Rush**_ **** Republic, 1946. 56 min.

A timid schoolmarm comes West and soon becomes a wanted outlaw who teams with a drunken gunman to take on his notorious gunfighter brother.

A cattlemen's association agent masquerades as a dimwit peddler to get the goods on an outlaw gang trying to cheat ranchers out of their land.

Nearly 300 Cheyenne Indians try to return to their homes in the Dakotas from an Oklahoma reservation but are pursed by the cavalry.

New Mexico cattle baron John Chisum opposes crooks who are trying to steal his lands, resulting in the famous Lincoln County Cattle Wars.

A young woman marries a drifter-gunfighter and they get in the Oklahoma land rush but go their separate ways, she becoming a newspaper editor and later a member of Congress, while dies as an oil worker. This dated adaptation of Edna Ferber's novel won three Oscars, including best film and script, and is still worth viewing.\n\n**748** _ **Cimarron**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1960. 140 min. Color. D: Anthony Mann. SC: Arnold Schulman. With Glenn Ford, Maria Schell, Anne Baxter, Arthur O'Connell, Russ Tamblyn, Mercedes McCambridge, Vic Morrow, Robert Keith, Charles McGraw, Harry Morgan, David Opatoshu, Aline MacMahon, Lili Darvas, Edgar Buchanan, Mary Wickes, Royal Dano, L.Q.

A man with wanderlust marries a pretty girl and moves to the Oklahoma Territory where they split up, she to become a success while he drifts into obscurity.

The son of an Indian chief, actually a white man rescued by braves years before following a massacre, helps a rancher who is being blackmailed by those who believe there is gold on his land.

The Cisco Kid joins forces with Pancho, who he meets in jail, to sell weapons purchased from two former Confederates to revolutionaries trying to overthrow Emperor Maximilian in 1867 Mexico.

Burns. The Cisco Kid gets involved with a crook trying to steal a gold mine, an orphaned baby and a woman who loves another man.

The snobbish daughter of a presidential candidate meets and falls in love with a lanky rodeo cowboy.

A dishonest water company executive has a senator opposing him killed and replaced with his look-a-like brother while the head of a ranchers' group tries to stop him from over charging them.

During her vacation at a dude ranch, a titled English woman falls for a cowboy and after many misunderstandings they eventually find happiness.

Randall. When his drovers quit, a cattleman rounds up a group of boys and trains them to drive his herd to market. Handsomely made and very good, although violent, John Wayne vehicle; recommended.

Two cowboys try to capture a stallion who they believe has been falsely accused of rustling a rancher's horses.

After being a Civil War hero, George Armstrong Custer is given a command in the West where he must deal with warring Indians and Army rivals.

French, Lillian Christy, Art Acord, Clayton Monroe Teters, Snowball (horse). The story of the showdown between General Custer and Sitting Bull at the Little Big Horn River. An expanded version of the 1912 Ince three reel film; one of the first really good Westerns and well worth viewing. In 1912 Francis Ford was Custer in _**The Invaders**_ (q.v.), also for Thomas H. Ince.\n\n**917** _ **Custer's Last Stand**_ **** Stage and Screen, 1936. 15 Chapters. D: Elmer Clifton. SC: George A. Durlam, Eddy Graneman and Bob Lively.

A scout for General Custer tries to help settlers attacked by Indians led by a renegade after a medicine arrow, the clue to a hidden treasure. Lumbering, dull, poorly made and badly paced cliffhanger culminating an exciting re-enactment of the Battle of the Little Big Horn; helped only by a large veteran cast with George Chesebro a standout as a dishonest soldier turned good. Also issued in an equally inert 65 minute feature version.\n\n**918** _ **Cut-Throats Nine**_ **** United International, 1973. 90 min. Color. D: Joaquin L. Romero Merchant.

With Reed Howes, Carmelita Geraghty, Wilfred Lucas, Jack Mower, Eric Mayne, Johnny Sinclair, Ervin Renard. Sent to a Central American republic where he falls in love with the president's daughter, an adventurer tries to thwart a palace revolution.

Scott, Richard Alexander, Lew Morphy. An agent assigned to insure the delivery of horses to the government gets suspicious after a rancher is murdered. Fair \"Durango Kid\" film interpolating footage from the earlier series outings _**Galloping Thunder**_ , _**Landrush**_ and _**Prairie Raiders**_ (qq.v.).\n\n**923** _ **Cyclone Jones**_ **** Aywon, 1923. 50 min.

With Caryl Lincoln, Buzz Barton, Francis X. Bushman, Jr., Ted Adams, Lafe McKee, Blackie Whiteford, Nadja, Silver Harr.

When his lawyer brother comes West and learns of his true activities, a gunman turns on his crooked cattle baron boss.

After an outlaw gang causes trouble with settlers and Indians, the Army assigns an officer to stop them.

Three cowpokes come to the aid of a pretty girl and her brother whose attempt to string a telegraph wire, in order to win a contract, is being thwarted by hoodlums.

An outlaw is befriended by a blind woman and pretends to be her son who was killed by a posse.

An ex-soldier and his heiress wife go to the Dakotas to invest in land on which a railroad is to be built and find themselves at odds with two crooks trying to force farmers off their homesteads.

Passengers on a stagecoach are attacked by Indians and must defend themselves as well as settle their differences.

With Michael Chapin, Eilene Janssen, James Bell, Margaret Field, Robert Shayne, Roy Barcroft, Danny Morton, Mauritz Hugo, House Peters, Jr., Lee Bennett, Michael Ragan (Holly Bane), Art Dillard. Two youngsters assist the law in rounding up an outlaw gang. One of the quartet of features in the \"Rough Ridin' Kids\" series and just as mediocre as the others.\n\n**934** _ **Dakota Lil**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1950. 88 min. Color.

In post\u2013Civil War Texas, a former Confederate plans go get revenge on the carpetbaggers who murdered his family.

With Don Barry, Robert Lowery, Betty (Julie) Adams, James Millican, Byron Foulger, J. Farrell MacDonald, Greg McClure, George J. Lewis, Marshall Reed, Ray Bennett, Lee Roberts, Dick Curtis, Stanley Price, Cactus Mack, Cliff Taylor. Two lawmen are assigned to round up the infamous Dalton brothers. Outside of its stars there is not much to recommend this pedestrian effort. TV title: _**The Outlaw Gang**_.\n\n**937** _ **The Dalton Girls**_ **** United Artists, 1957. 71 min. D: Reginald LeBorg. SC: Maurice Tombragel. With Merry Anders, Penny Edwards, John Russell, Lisa Davis, Sue George, Johnny Western, Malcom Atterbury, Douglas Henderson, Red Morgan, Ed Hinton.

A saloon owner is in cahoots with an outlaw gang terrorizing a town, but U.S. marshals are assigned to stop them.

After his partner is killed, a Mountie tracks the Indian accused of the crime but eventually realizes he is the hunted instead of the hunter.

A dying marshal asks a cowboy to transport two criminals to jail and along the way the trio must elude bounty hunters.

With Helen Kane, Victor Moore, James Hall, Stuart Erwin, Frank Morgan, Roberta Robinson, Louise Closser Hale, Allan Forrest, John Hamilton, Robert Milash.

With Bill Cody, Eileen Sedgwick, Milton Fahrney, Claude Payton, Monte Collins, Al Hallett.

Daniel Boone leads settlers across the Cumberland Mountains in 1775 to settle in Kentucky and encounters hostile Indians led by the evil Simon Girty. Fine historical drama with George O'Brien making an excellent Daniel Boone and John Carradine equally as good as the villainous Girty; well worth seeing.\n\n**953** _ **Daniel Boone: Frontier Trail Rider**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1966. 91 min.

While leading settlers into Kentucky to start a new settlement, Daniel Boone falls in love with a pretty servant girl who is also wanted by a gambler. Okay feature made up of two segments of \"Daniel Boone\" (NBC-TV, 1964\u201370); a remake of _**Bend of the River**_ (q.v.).\n\n**954** _ **Daniel Boone Thru the Wilderness**_ **** Sunset, 1926. 62 min.

Daniel Boone leads settlers from North Carolina to build a fort at Boonesborough in Kentucky where they are attacked by Indians, renegade French and Tories.

SC: Betty Burbridge. With Duncan Renaldo, Leo Carrillo, Kippee Valez, Charles Halton, Pedro de Cordoba, Stephen Chase, Edmund Cobb, David Leonard, Frank Jaquet, Mickey Little.

During the Civil War, a Kansas school teacher becomes the leader of a notorious band of guerillas as he and a sheriff vie for the woman they both love. Thrilling Republic production that is probably the best screen version of Quantrill's Raiders, although the character is called Will Cantrell in the film; worth viewing. Remade as _**Law of the Golden West**_ (q.v.). A colorized version is available.\n\n**961** _ **Dark Mountain**_ **** Paramount, 1944. 66 min. D: William Berke. SC: Maxwell Shane.

Hart, Enid Markey, Louise Glaum, George Fisher, Nona Thomas, Milton Ross, Roy Laidlaw.

With Ben Wilson, Neva Gerber, Robert Walker, Fay Adams, William Lowery, Rhody Hathaway.

One of the three women hired by an old trapper to pose as his daughter is kidnapped by her father, who holds her for ransom.

Color. D: Norman Foster. SC: Tom Blackburn and Norman Foster. With Fess Parker, Buddy Ebsen, Jeff York, Kenneth Tobey, Clem Bevans, Irvin Ashkenazy, Mort Mills, Paul Newlan, Frank Richards, Walter Catlett, Douglass Dumbrille, Mike Mazurki, William Bakewell, George J. Lewis, William Fawcett. In 1810 Davy Crockett and his sidekick George Russell agree to a flatboat race with Big Mike Fink, the self proclaimed \"King of the (Ohio) River.\" Enjoyable fiction follow-up to _**Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier**_ (q.v.), and like its predecessor was first shown on Walt Disney's TV program (as a two part episode) before successful theatrical release; Duke York is grand as Big Mike Fink.\n\n**968** _ **Davy Crockett at the Fall of the Alamo**_ **** Sunset, 1926. 60 minutes.

With Cullen Landis, Kathryn McGuire, Edward Hearn, Bob Fleming, Joe Rickson, Jay Morley, Frank Rice, Bob Bradbury, Jr. (Bob Steele), Ralph McCullough, Fletcher Norton, Anne Berryman, Thomas Lingham, Betty Brown, Steve Clemente. Texans led by Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and Colonel Travis make an heroic stand against the tyrant Santa Ana and his army at the Alamo. Somewhat creaky silent version of the 1836 massacre from producer Anthony J.

The story of frontiersman Davy Crockett, from his days as an Indian fighter with Andrew Jackson, through serving in Congress and his heroic stand at the Alamo. Although historically glossy, this feature made up of three segments of Walt Disney's TV series, is dandy entertainment and was the cause of the 1950s' Davy Crockett phenomena. Sequel: _**Davy Crockett and the River Pirates**_ (q.v.).\n\n**971** _ **Davy Crockett: Rainbow in the Thunder**_ **** NBC-TV, 1988. 94 min. Color. D: David Hemmings. SC: William Blinn.

A reformed gunman, waiting in a small town for a train, is forced into one last gunfight. Predictable but entertaining.\n\n**973** _ **Dawn on the Great Divide**_ **** Monogram, 1942. 70 min.

Carpenter, George Sowards, Kansas Moehring, Rube Dalroy, Herman Hack, Merrill McCormick, Chief Yowlachie, Iron Eyes Cody, Charles Soldani, Denver Dixon. Three buddies lead a wagon train with munitions for the railroad but two brothers plan to hijack the explosives and hire an outlaw gang to dress as Indians in order to put the blame on a local tribe. Buck Jones' final film is short on action but has good production values, an interesting plot and a very fine cast. Based on the James Oliver Curwood story \"Wheels of Fate.\"\n\n**974** _ **The Dawn Rider**_ **** Monogram, 1935. 51 min. D-SC: Robert North Bradbury.

A cowboy tries to capture the robber who murdered his father and becomes involved with the man's pretty sister, who is also loved by his pal.

A shy young man becomes the sheriff of a rough town and falls for a saloon singer. This retelling of the Max Brand story is not bad but not up to the two earlier versions of _**Destry Rides Again**_ (q.q.v.) with George Marshall returning to direct after having also done the 1939 outing.\n\n**1083** _ **Destry Rides Again**_ **** Universal, 1932. 64 min.

Short, Jay Silverheels, Bess Flowers. Newlyweds find their Grand Canyon honeymoon trip sabotaged by the widowed bride's pesky children and the professor husband's vengeful ex-girlfriend.

With Kirby Grant, Lorna Hansen, Warren Douglas, Leonard Penn, Richard Avonde, Robert Sherman, John Close, Roy Gordon, Phil Tead, Kit Carson, Chinook (dog).

In the early 1890s a young couple flee Ireland and migrate to Oklahoma where they try to start a new life together only to face hardships and the threat of the girl's parents taking her home.

A gang of hell raising young women work with a former movie stuntman in smuggling drugs over the U.S.-Mexican border.

A cowboy and his pal attempt to help an old friend accused of assisting a gang of cattle rustlers.

With Fred Scott, Al St. John, Phoebe Logan, Marjorie Beebe, Charles King, Lafe McKee, Frank LaRue, Eddie Holden, Sherry Tansey, Jack C. Smith, Chick Hannon, Jack Evans. A cowboy takes his dad's lawman job to hunt for the man who ambushed him only to find the culprit is his fiancee's long lost brother.

Carpenter, Fred Burns, Hank Bell, Art Dillard, Merrill McCormick, Ray Jones, Charles Brinley, Jack Kirk, Al Taylor, Tiny Sanford, Rose Plummer.

A crooked cattleman, in cahoots with a dishonest banker, murders a Texas Ranger and tries to pin the crime on a cowboy who romances the girl he wants.

With Bob Reeves, Ione Reed, William Ryno, Lew Meehan, J.P. McGowan, Eddie Beery. A hired gunman is wounded by an outlaw and his gang and he later falls in love with a rancher's daughter who is abducted by the bad man.

Alyn Warren, Hank Bell, Francis Ford, Richard Tucker. A young woman competes in a battle of wits with a sheriff who is after her bandit lover. David Belasco's 1905 evergreen is brought to the screen for the fourth time (Cecil B. DeMille filmed the first version in 1914 and Associated First National did a remake in 1923 followed by the 1930 [q.v.] feature) but not even a score by Gus Kahn and Sigmund Romberg can save the aged story; for fans of Jeannette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy.\n\n**1572** _ **The Girl of the Rio**_ **** RKO Radio, 1932. 69 min. D: Herbert Brenon. SC: Elizabeth Meehan. With Dolores Del Rio, Leo Carrillo, Norman Foster, Ralph Ince, Lucille Gleason, Edna Murphy, Stanley Fields, Frank Campeau. A beautiful Mexican cabaret entertainer falls in love with a cardsharp and gambles for his life with an outlaw. Fairly charming Dolores Del Rio movie from Willard Mack's play _The Dove_ and first made under that title by United Artists in 1928 with Norma Talmadge, Gilbert Roland and Noah Beery, and done for a third time by RKO in 1939 as _**The Girl and the Gambler**_ (q.v.) with Leo Carrillo repeating the role of the bandit.\n\n**1573** _ **Girl Rush**_ **** RKO Radio, 1944. 65 min.

Smith, Murdock MacQuarrie, Oscar Gahan, Monte Montague, Sam McDaniel, Eddie Parker, Bob Burns. Oil drillers vie with cattlemen over range land while Gene Autry tries to clear up the conflict and romance a banker's daughter.

A soldier, with a troop of untrained recruits, is ordered by his superiors to do battle with rampaging Sioux Indians.

Three zanies head West to reclaim a land deed stolen by a crook. None-too-good Marx Brothers vehicle, only a fair satire and certainly not much of a Western; for diehard Marx Brothers fans.\n\n**1578** _ **Go West, Young Girl**_ **** ABC-TV\/Columbia, 1978. 74 min.

A saloon keeper sends for his nephew who turns out to be a pretty young lady plagued by a series of misadventures.

A bounty hunter takes the job of stopping a banker who is the head of a gold robbery gang operating on the Mexican border.

A mysterious fiddler, actually a wanted man, shows up in a small town and falls in love with a woman whose family is in the middle of a deadly feud. Lots of slaughter and other violence are the main ingredients in this Spaghetti Western released in Italy in 1966 by Regalfilm as _**Uccidi o Muori**_ (Kill or Die); also known as _**Kill or Be Killed**_ and _**Ringo Against Johnny Colt**_.\n\n**1583** _ **The Godchild**_ **** ABC-TV\/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1974. 78 min.

A cowboy is after the gang leader who murdered his father. Tom Keene's first Monogram series vehicle is a pretty sturdy outing with stock footage from _**The Trail Beyond**_ (q.v.).\n\n**1588** _ **God's Country and the Woman**_ **** Warner Bros., 1937. 71 min. Color. D: William Keighley. SC: Norman Reilly Raine.

With Jack Hoxie, Alice Day, Hooper Atchley, Tom London, Robert Kortman, Lafe McKee, Matthew Betz, Jack Clifford, Jack Byron, Jack Kirk, Hank Bell, Dynamite (horse). When his partner in a gold claim is murdered, the victim's daughter blames a cowpoke for the crime and he tries to find the killer. Dull and slow moving, the film contains a most austere finale with villain Hooper Atchley tied to a wagon disguised as an intended victim and gunned down by his own men.\n\n**1593** _ **Gold Fever**_ **** Monogram, 1952. 63 min. D: Leslie Goodwins. SC: Edgar B. Anderson, Jr. and Cliff Lancaster. With John Calvert, Ann Cornell, Ralph Morgan, Gene Roth, Tom Kennedy, Judd Holdren, George Morrell, Danny Reese, Robert Graham.

Franks' Golden West Cowboys, George (Montgomery) Letz, Charles King, Lew Kelly, Joe Whitehead, Earl Dwire, Maudie Prickett, Al Taylor, Art Dillard, Herman Hack, George Plues. Gene Autry is made the administrator of a property owned by a wild spending young woman and when he refuses to turn it into a dude ranch her boyfriend hires Chicago gangsters to eliminate him. Interesting Gene Autry movie with enough action and music, plus a good plot, to entertain his fans.\n\n**1596** _ **Gold of the Seven Saints**_ **** Warner Bros., 1961. 88 min. D: Gordon Douglas. SC: Leigh Brackett. With Clint Walker, Roger Moore, Leticia Roman, Robert Middleton, Chill Wills, Gene Evans, Roberto Contreras, Jack C. Williams, Art Stewart. Two trappers make a gold strike but end up being chased across the desert by marauders. Utah locations are the film's main interest.\n\n**1597** _ **Gold Raiders**_ **** United Artists, 1951. 56 min.

With Charles Chaplin, Georgia Hale, Mack Swain, Tom Murray, Betty Morrissey, Malcolm Waite, Henry Bergman. The Lone Prospector finds adventure in the Klondike as he falls for a saloon girl and helps a friend reclaim a stolen gold mine. Chaplin's classic comedy is as fresh today as when originally released; recommended.\n\n**1599** _ **Gold Rush Maisie**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1940. 82 min. D: Edwin L. Marin.

An out of work entertainer ends up at a mining camp and joins a poor family in searching for gold but soon softens the heart of a rancher and takes up farming. Definitely one of the lesser entries in the long running \"Maisie\" series.\n\n_**Gold Strike River**_ see _**The Lucky Texan**_\n\n_**Gold Train**_ see _**30 Winchesters for El Diablo**_\n\n**1600** _ **The Golden Eye**_ **** Monogram, 1948. 69 min.

Three Civil War veterans form an uneasy alliance as they search for a cash box full of gold hidden in an unmarked grave. Overrated and overlong, this is still probably the most famous Spaghetti Western and it is not without interest, especially for Lee Van Cleef's portrayal of a sadist killer. Released in Italy in 1966 as _**Il Buono, il Bruto, il Cattivo**_ (The Good, the Bad, the Wicked).\n\n_**Above:**_ **Advertisement for** _**The Good Guys and the Bad Guys**_ **(Warner Bros., 1969).** _**Left:**_ **Lee Van Cleef in** _**The Good, the Bad and the Ugly**_ **(United Artists, 1968).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**1613** _ **Goodnight for Justice**_ **** Hallmark Channel, 2011. 88 min.

A movie director who connives to make a film on location in the Grand Canyon discovers a local prospector and elevates him to stardom.

A railroad detective is assigned to locate a train carrying a gold shipment that disappeared en route.

The ruthless female owner of a small town saloon is reunited with her gunman ex-lover who she calls on to defend her against a nearby town boss and a woman cattle raiser.

A teenage boy sets out to get revenge on the men who murdered his father and friends. Made in Mexico, this oater was released theatrically only on an experimental basis but it is pretty good and marks Robby Benson's screen debut; Benny Baker gives a fine performance as the rancher who first shelters the boy.\n\n**2057** _ **Joshua**_ **** Lone Star, 1976. 90 min.

A group of young men in 1862 Texas head East to join the Confederate Army without any idea as to what they are fighting for or the meaning of the war. A good premise gone awry in this rambling and none too satisfying melodrama.\n\n**2060** _ **The Journeyman**_ **** Dream Entertainment, 2001. 93 min. Color. D-SC: James Crowley. With Brad Hunt, Daniel Lapaine, Dash Mihok, Arie Verveen, Willie Nelson, Barry Corbin, Assumpta Serna, Burton Gilliam, John Beasley, Leon Singer, Chris Dahlberg, Joe Stevens, Octavia Spenser, Boots Sutherland, Daniel Grant, James Crowley, Matt Bearden, Tate Taylor, L.J.

Stahl, Manuel Diaz, Lillian Nicholson, William Edmunds. Benito Juarez rises to become the leader of the Mexican Revolution after French ruler Louis Napoleon tries to establish Maximilian as the emperor of the country. Overlong and basically boring biopic, mainly due to Paul Muni's stoic performance in the title role, although Bette Davis and Brian Aherne are great as Carlotta and Maximilian.\n\n**2065** _ **Jubal**_ **** Columbia, 1956. 101 min. Color. D: Delmer Daves. SC: Russell S. Hughes and Delmer Daves.

Lee, William Buckley, Edwin Booth Tilton, Eunice Murdock, Burt Apling, Slim Padgett, Pedro Leone, Ida Tenbrook, John J. Cooke.

A cowboy and his sidekick go up against a ruthless outlaw who captures a miner as well as his pretty daughter, wanting the location of the prospector's valuable mine and wanting to marry the girl.

With Tim McCoy, Billie Seward, Ward Bond, Guy Usher, Ed LeSaint, Allan Sears, Jack Rockwell, Jack Rutherford, George Hayes, Bill Patton, Stanley Blystone, Earl Dwire, Dick Rush, J.

Parnell, Gary Lee Marshall. The Lone Ranger and Tonto track down a stolen million dollar gold shipment, hunt marauders who murdered an elderly sheriff and try to save a man from being hanged for a robbery he did not commit.

Armstrong, John Crawford, Wade Crosby, Marjorie Durant Dye, Paul Harper, Son Hooker, Richard Kennedy, Bruce Kirby, Claude Stroud. After a decade in prison, a one time rodeo performer decides to return to the circuit and become all-around cowboy but finds the times and ways of the sport have changed.

Mesquiteers Stony Brooke and Rusty Joslin take a job delivering horses for the government to a Caribbean island and there they team with Rico to defeat a tyrant. Although the plot is fairly interesting, the sudden change of locale and characters does not help this \"Three Mesquiteers\" entry.\n\n**2087** _ **Kate Bliss and the Ticker Tape Kid**_ **** ABC-TV, 1978. 100 min. Color. D: Burt Kennedy. SC: William Bowers and John Zodorow.

A gambler and his friend find corruption by government agents who are supposed to be supplying food to the Sioux nation. This third chapter of the \"Gambler\" saga wears pretty thin.\n\n**2095** _ **The Kentuckian**_ **** United Artists, 1955. 104 min. Color. D: Burt Lancaster. SC: A.B. Guthrie, Jr. With Burt Lancaster, Dianne Foster, Diana Lynn, John McIntire, Una Merkel, Walter Matthau, John Carradine, Donald MacDonald, John Litel, Rhys Williams, Edward Norris, Lee Erickson, Clem Bevans, Lisa Ferraday, Douglas Spencer, Paul Wexler.

After two bandits take refuge with a young boy and his sister, one of them rapes and murders the girl and takes off with stolen loot as the brother and the other outlaw team to get him.

British title: _**Silver Chains**_.\n\n**2104** _ **The Kid from Arizona**_ **** Cosmos, 1931. 55 min. D: Robert J. Horner. SC: Robert Walker. With Jack Perrin, Josephine Hill, Robert Walker, George Chesebro, Henry Roquemore, Ben Corbett. A marshal is sent to the badlands to stop raids by marauding Indians.

Cody, Chalky Williams, Frank Melton, Joe Bernard, Robert Cherry. An Eastern woman with three unacceptable suitors heads West and is romanced by a rodeo rider. Dated, mundane genre comedy.\n\n**2164** _ **Land Beyond the Law**_ **** Warner Bros., 1937. 58 min. D: B. Reeves Eason. SC: Luci Ward and Joseph K. Watson. With Dick Foran, Linda Perry, Wayne Morris, Irene Franklin, Gordon Hart, Joseph King, Cy Kendall, Frank Orth, Glenn Strange, Harry Woods, Milton Kibbee, Edmund Cobb, Henry Otho, Tom Brower, Paul Panzer, Julian Rivero, Artie Ortego, Jim Corey, Bud Osborne, Wilfred Lucas, Gene Alsace, Frank McCarroll. A rancher finds himself in trouble with the law when, by mistake, he gets mixed up with outlaws. Pretty good Dick Foran series film, briskly directed by B. Reeves \"Breezy\" Eason; a remake of the 1927 First National Ken Maynard film of the same title and _**The Big Stampede**_ (q.v.).\n\n**2165** _ **Land of Fighting Men**_ **** Monogram, 1938. 53 min. D: Alan James. SC: Joseph O'Donnell. With Jack Randall, Herman Brix (Bruce Bennett), Louise Stanley, Dickie Jones, Walt Shrum and His Colorado Hillbillies, Wheeler Oakman, Bob Burns, John Merton, Lane Chandler, Rex Lease, Ernie Adams, Spade Cooley. Framed for killing a rancher, a cowboy must find the murderer to clear his name. Average outing in Jack Randall's Monogram series enhanced by a fine cast.\n\n_**Land of Fury**_ see _**The Seekers**_\n\n**2166** _ **Land of Hunted Men**_ **** Monogram, 1943. 58 min. D: S. Roy Luby. SC: Elizabeth Beecher.

The Range Busters are on the trail of an outlaw gang terrorizing the countryside. Ray Corrigan returned to the series and Dennis Moore joined it in this feature, an otherwise mediocre \"Range Busters\" affair.\n\n**2167** _ **The Land of Missing Men**_ **** Tiffany, 1930. 58 min. D: J.P. McCarthy. SC: J.P. McCarthy and Bob Quigley. With Bob Steele, Al St. John, Caryl Lincoln, Al Jennings, Edward Dunn, Fern Emmett, Emilio Fernandez, Noah Hendricks, C.R.Dufau, S.S. Simon, Frank Ellis, Jim Corey. Two cowpokes falsely accused of a stage holdup rescue a young woman from another coach and then infiltrate an outlaw gang in order to capture the real culprits. Bob Steele's fans will like this rather interesting early talkie that includes several brutal scenes.\n\n**2168** _ **Land of No Return**_ **** International Picture Show, 1981. 84 min. Color D-SC: Kent Bateman. With Mel Torme, William Shatner, Donald Moffat, Caesar (eagle), Romulus (wolf). A television animal trainer crashes his private plane in the wilds of Utah and tries to survive with only the aid of a pet eagle. No much here but the scenery; alternate titles: _**Challenge to Survive**_ and _**Snowman**_.\n\n**2169** _ **Land of the Lawless**_ **** Monogram, 1947. 60 min. D: Lambert Hillyer. SC: J. Benton Cheney. With Johnny Mack Brown, Raymond Hatton, Christine McIntyre, Tristram Coffin, June Harrison, Marshall Reed, I. Stanford Jolley, Steve Clark, Edmund Cobb, Roy Butler, Cactus Mack, Gary Garrett, Ben Corbett, Carl Sepulveda. Arriving in a remote town, a man finds his best friend murdered so he works with a prospector to rid the area of a corrupt female saloon boss and her crooked cohort. Pretty good Johnny Mack Brown-Raymond Hatton entry.\n\n**2170** _ **Land of the Open Range**_ **** RKO Radio, 1942. 60 min. D: Edward Killy. SC: Morton Grant. With Tim Holt, Ray Whitley, Janet Waldo, Lee \"Lasses\" White, Hobart Cavanaugh, Lee Bonnell, Roy Barcroft, John Elliott, Frank Ellis, Tom London, Ruth Clifford, Henry Roquemore, Bud Geary, Fern Emmett, John Ince, Pierce Lyden, Lindy Wade, J. Merrill Holmes, James Carlisle, Duke Green, Frank Mills, Charles Phipps. When a convict's will states that a large of tract of land he owned can only be homesteaded by ex-convicts, a deputy tries to stop the lawlessness they cause. A different plot adds some interest to this Tim Holt film.\n\n**2171** _ **Land of the Outlaws**_ **** Monogram, 1944. 58 min. D: Lambert Hillyer. SC: Joseph O'Donnell. With Johnny Mack Brown, Raymond Hatton, Nan Halliday, Stephen Keyes, Hugh Prosser, Charles King, John Merton, Steve Clark, Art Fowler, Tom Quinn, Ray Elder, Chick Hannon, Bob (John) Cason, Kansas Moehring, George Morrell, Ben Corbett, Bud Wolfe, John Judd, Bob Woodward, Dick Rush, Rube Dalroy, Jack Evans. A marshal is trailing a outlaw gang behind the hijacking of ore shipments. Pretty fair \"Nevada Jack McKenzie\" series outing.\n\n**2172** _ **Land of the Six Guns**_ **** Monogram, 1940. 54 min. D: Raymond K. Johnson. SC: Tom Gibson. With Jack Randall, Louise Stanley, Kenne Duncan, Glenn Strange, Bud Osborne, George Chesebro, Jack Perrin, Steve Clark, Frank LaRue, Carl Mathews, Buzz Barton, Richard Cramer, Jimmy Aubrey, Tex Palmer. A lawman buys a ranch but finds it being used by rustlers bringing in cattle from Mexico. Poor Jack Randall vehicle.\n\n**2173** _ **Land of Wanted Men**_ **** Monogram, 1932. 59 min. D-SC: Harry Fraser. With Bill Cody, Andy Shuford, Sheila Mannors, Gibson Gowland, Frank Lackteen, James A. Marcus, Jack Richardson, Jack Evans. An cowboy gets a job as a lawman in country where sheep are being brought onto cattle range land. So-so Bill Cody-Andy Shuford series effort.\n\n**2174** _ **Land Raiders**_ **** Columbia, 1970 101 min. Color. D: Nathan Juran. SC: Ken Pettus. With Telly Savalas, George Maharis, Arlene Dahl, Janet Landgard, Jocelyn Lane, George Coulouris, Guy Rolfe, Phil Brown, Peter Dane, Marcella St. Amant, Paul Picerni, Robert Carricart, Gustavo Rojo, Fernando Rey, Ben Tatar, John Clark, Charles Stahlnaker, Susan Harvey. A man and a woman survive a wagon train massacre by Indians, the attack being caused by his brother, a town boss paying for scalps. Spanish made, mediocre, violent film from producer Charles H. Schneer.\n\n**2175** _ **Landrush**_ **** Columbia, 1946. 54 min. D: Vernon Keays. SC: Michael Simmons. With Charles Starrett, Smiley Burnette, Doris Houck, Emmett Lynn, Ozie Waters and His Colorado Rangers, Bud Geary, Stephen Barclay, Robert Kortman, George Chesebro, Bud Osborne, Ted French, George Russell, George Hoey, Ethan Laidlaw, John Tyrrell, Russell Meeker, Roy Butler, Curt Barrett, Nolan Leary, Herman Hack, Scotty Harrell, John Hawks, Sam Garrett. Outlaws try to keep homesteaders off land recently opened for settlement but the Durango Kid comes to their rescue. More than passable \"Durango Kid\" series segment; footage from the film was later used in _**Cyclone Fury**_ and _**Streets of Ghost Town**_ (qq.v.). British title: _**The Claw Strikes**_.\n\n**2176** _ **Laramie**_ **** Columbia, 1949. 56 min. D: Ray Nazarro. SC: Barry Shipman. With Charles Starrett, Smiley Burnette, Elton Britt, Fred F. Sears, Tommy Ivo, Marjorie Stapp, Robert Wilke, Myron Healey, Shooting Star, Jay Silverheels, Jim Diehl, Ethan Laidlaw, Bob (John) Cason, George Lloyd, Rodd Redwing, Nolan Leary, Kermit Maynard. When an evil Army scout selling rifles to the Indians kills a chief, warfare nearly erupts with the Durango Kid trying to stop impending bloodshed. Mediocre \"Durango Kid\" outing that benefits greatly from Elton Britt singing \"Chime Bells\" and \"Mollie Darling.\"\n\n**2177** _ **The Laramie Kid**_ **** Reliable, 1935. 57 min. D: Harry S. Webb. SC: Carl Kursada and Rose Gordon. With Tom Tyler, Alberta Vaughn, Al Ferguson, Murdock MacQuarrie, George Chesebro, Snub Pollard, Steve Clark, Artie Ortego, Jimmy Aubrey, Wally Wales, Nelson McDowell, Budd Buster, Lafe McKee, Lew Meehan, Bob McKenzie, Frank Ellis, Art Dillard, Robert Walker, Herman Hack, Blackie Whiteford, Jack Hendricks. A cowboy goes to jail so his girl's father can collect reward money to pay off his ranch, keeping the young woman from marrying a banker she does not love. The production is as bad as the plot in this Tom Tyler vehicle.\n\n**2178** _ **Laramie Mountains**_ **** Columbia, 1952. 53 min. D: Ray Nazarro. SC: Barry Shipman. With Charles Starrett, Smiley Burnette, Jack (Jock) Mahoney, Fred F. Sears, Marshall Reed, Rory Mallinson, Zon Murray, John War Eagle, Robert Wilke, Chris Alcaide, Boyd \"Red\" Morgan, Frank McCarroll, Jay Silverheels. A government Indian agent tries to prevent warfare after several attacks on the cavalry and he learns the trouble is caused by dishonest scouts. Average \"Durango Kid\" affair.\n\n**2179** _ **The Laramie Trail**_ **** Republic, 1944. 54 min. D: John English. SC: J. Benton Cheney. With Robert Livingston, Smiley Burnette, Linda Brent, George J. Lewis, John James, Emmett Lynn, Leander de Cordova, Slim Whitaker, Bud Osborne, Bud Geary, Kenne Duncan, Roy Barcroft, Marshall Reed, Martin Garralaga, John Whitley. Arriving at a Spanish hacienda, two pals try to help a young man falsely accused of murder. The final teaming of Robert Livingston and Smiley Burnette, following the \"John Paul Revere\" series, is a nifty one with nicely atmospheric mystery touches.\n\n_**Lariats' End**_ see _**Mystery Brand**_\n\n**2180** _ **Lasca of the Rio Grande**_ **** Universal, 1931. 65 min. D: Edward Laemmle. SC: Randall Faye. With Johnny Mack Brown, Leo Carrillo, Dorothy Burgess, Slim Summerville, Frank Campeau, Chris-Pin Martin, Tom London, John Ince, Jim Corey. A Texas Ranger and a Mexican bandit both love a dance hall girl and when she kills a man in self defense the lawman lets her go. A bit creaky but still fun, especially for Leo Carrillo as the bandit.\n\n**2181** _ **The Lash**_ **** First National, 1930. 75 min. D: Frank Lloyd. SC: Bradley King. With Richard Barthelmess, Mary Astor, Marian Nixon, James Rennie, Fred Kohler, Robert Edeson, Barbara Bedford, Erville Alderson, Arthur Stone, Mathilde Comont, Frank Lackteen, Francis McDonald, William L. Thorne, Chris-Pin Martin, Pedro Leon. Returning home to Old California from school, a man find that crooks have taken over the locale and he sets out to stop them with daring raids, earning the nickname \"El Puma.\" Entertaining early talkie that moves at a good clip although it is dated; originally called _**Adios**_.\n\n**2182** _ **The Lash of the Law**_ **** Goodwill, 1926. 50 min. D: Paul Hurst. SC: Al Jennings and Jay Inman (Joseph) Kane. With Bill Bailey, Alma Rayford, Dick LaReno, Marcel Perez, Bud Osborne, Milton Fahrney, Roy Watson. A cowboy on the trail of an outlaw gang helps a boy and girl brutalized by their stepfather. Well made silent, worth viewing; star Bill Bailey later became William Norton Bailey.\n\n_**Lassie's Adventures in the Gold Rush**_ see _**The Painted Hills**_\n\n**2183** _ **Lassie's Great Adventure**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1963. 103 min. D: William Beaudine. SC: Monroe Manning and Charles O'Neal. With Lassie, Jon Provost, June Lockhart, Hugh Reilly, Richard Simmons, Richard Kiel, Walter Stocker, Robert Howard, Will J. White, Patrick Waltz, Leo Needham, Patrick Westwood. Lassie and her young master are carried away in a hot air balloon that takes them to the wilds of Canada where an Indian decides to make the boy a replacement for his son. Very well done family drama taken from four episodes of \"Lassie\" (CBS-TV, 1954\u201371) and issued theatrically both here and abroad. Who says William Beaudine was not a good director?\n\n**2184** _ **The Last Bandit**_ **** Republic, 1949. 80 min. Color. D: Joseph Kane. SC: Thomas Williamson. With William Elliott, Adrian Booth, Forrest Tucker, Andy Devine, Jack Holt, Grant Withers, Minna Gombell, Virginia Brissac, Louis Faust, Stanley Andrews, Martin Garralaga, Joseph Crehan, Charles Middleton, Rex Lease, Emmett Lynn, Gene Roth, George Chesebro, Hank Bell, Jack O'Shea, Steve Clark, Tex Terry, George Eldredge, Chick Hannon, Howard Mitchell, Monte Montague, Rocky Shahan, Chuck Baldra, Rodney Bell, Vera Marshe, George Backus, Al Murphy, Len Torrey, David Williams, Cecil Combs, Steve Drake, Buster West, Frank Dae. A reformed outlaw tries to go straight as an express agent but runs afoul of a saloon singer and his own crooked brother, who is planning a big gold heist by robbing the local railroad. Pretty good William Elliott action film; quite colorful. A remake of _**The Great Train Robbery**_ (1941) [q.v.].\n\n_**The Last Bandit**_ (1979) see _**The Bandits**_\n\n_**The Last Bullet**_ see _**Crooked River**_\n\n**2185** _ **The Last Challenge**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1967. 105 min. Color. D: Richard Thorpe. SC: John Sherry and Robert Emmett Ginna. With Glenn Ford, Angie Dickinson, Chad Everett, Gary Merrill, Jack Elam, Delphi Lawrence, Royal Dano, Kevin Hagen, Florence Sundstrom, Marian Collier, Robert Sorrells, Frank McGrath, John Milford. A once famous gunman takes on a life of leisure as the sheriff of a small town until a punk arrives to gun him down. A cliched story does nothing to help this pedestrian feature; also called _**Pistolero of Red River**_.\n\n**2186** _ **The Last Chance**_ **** Chesterfield, 1926. 52 min. D-SC: Horace B. Carpenter. With Bill Patton, Dorothy Donald, Merrill McCormick, Harry O'Connor, Walter Patton, Theodore Henderson, Walter Blunt. A postal inspector infiltrates an outlaw gang and saves a stage driver and his daughter who have been taken hostages by the robbers. Labored Bill Patton silent film poorly helmed by Horace B. Carpenter.\n\n**2187** _ **The Last Command**_ **** Republic, 1955. 110 min. Color. D: Frank Lloyd. SC: Warren Duff. With Sterling Hayden, Anna Maria Alberghetti, Richard Carlson, Arthur Hunnicutt, Ernest Borgnine, J. Carrol Naish, Ben Cooper, John Russell, Jim Davis, Virginia Grey, Eduard Franz, Otto Kruger, Russell Simpson, Roy Roberts, Slim Pickens, Hugh Sanders, Morris Ankrum, Harry Woods, Kermit Maynard. Jim Bowie and his followers join the Texas fight for independence and become martyrs at the Alamo. Very fine account of the fall of the Alamo with well staged battle sequences.\n\n**2188** _ **The Last Day**_ **** NBC-TV\/Paramount, 1975. 100 min. Color. D: Vincent McEveety. SC: Jim Byrnes and Steve Fisher. With Richard Widmark, Christopher Connelly, Robert Conrad, Gene Evans, Richard Jaeckel, Tim Matheson, Barbara Rush, Tom Skerrit, Loretta Swit, Morgan Woodward, Kathleen Cody, Jon Locke, Bryan O'Byrne, Harry Morgan (narrator). When the Dalton gang threatens to rob a town bank, a retired gunman is forced to take up his guns again. Nicely entertaining telefeature from producer A.C. Lyles.\n\n**2189** _ **Last Days of Boot Hill**_ **** Columbia, 1947. 55 min. D: Ray Nazarro. SC: Norman S. Hall. With Charles Starrett, Smiley Burnette, Virginia Hunter, Paul Campbell, The Cass County Boys (Jerry Scoggins, Bert Dodson, Fred Martin), Mary Newton, Bill Free, J. Courtland Lytton, Robert Wilke, Alan Bridge, Tex Harding, Syd Saylor, John Cason, Blackie Whiteford, Victor Cox, Carole Mathews, Emmett Lynn, Charles King, Nolan Leary, Steve Clark, Robert Barron, Mauritz Hugo, John Tyrrell. A supposedly dead Durango Kid is on the trail of gold stolen by an outlaw, now a ranch foreman. Tacky \"Durango Kid\" series outing mostly made up of footage from _**Both Barrel Blazing**_ (q.v.), thus the appearance of Tex Harding who had been out of the series for almost two years. British title: _**On Boot Hill**_.\n\n**2190** _ **The Last Days of Frank and Jesse James**_ **** NBC-TV, 1986. 100 min. Color. D: William A. Graham. SC: William Stratton.

Outlaw brothers Frank and Jesse James try to lead normal lives but soon re-form a gang and continue their robbery sprees. Not bad TV movie retelling of the James gang saga hampered by the casting of June Carter Cash as the outlaws' mother!\n\n**2191** _ **The Last Frontier**_ **** RKO Radio, 1932. 12 Chapters. D: Spencer Gordon Bennet. SC: George Plympton and Robert F. Hill. With Creighton (Lon, Jr.) Chaney, Dorothy Gulliver, Mary Jo Desmond, Francis X.

A crusading newspaper editor takes on the guise of a hooded avenger in fighting an outlaw gang after gold on settlers' lands. RKO's only cliffhanger is on the slow side although Lon Chaney's fans will like it; also released in a 65 minute feature version called _**The Black Ghost**_.\n\n**2192** _ **The Last Frontier**_ **** Columbia, 1955. 98 min. Color. D: Anthony Mann. SC: Philip Yordan and Russell S. Hughes.

Three frontier scouts finds themselves at odds with a know-it-all fort commander who leads his men into an Indian massacre. Fairly colorful and action laded frontier saga; TV title: _**Savage Wilderness**_.\n\n**2193** _ **Last Frontier Uprising**_ **** Republic, 1947. 67 min. Color. D: Lesley Selander. SC: Harvey Gates. With Monte Hale, Adrian Booth, Foy Willing and The Riders of the Purple Sage, James Taggert, Roy Barcroft, Edmund Cobb, Philip Van Zandt, John Ince, Frank O'Connor, Bob Blair, Doye O'Dell, Tom London. A cowboy buying horses for the government finds himself at odds with a rustling gang. Predictable but still enjoyable Monte Hale vehicle.\n\n**2194** _ **The Last Gun**_ **** Rasfilm, 1964. 88 min. Color. D: Serge Bergone (Sergio Bergonzelli). SC: Dick Fullmer, Ambrogio Molleni and James Wilde, Jr. With Cameron Mitchell, Celina Cely, Carl Mohner, Livio Lorenzon, Kitty Karver, Mary Gordon, Armand Keith, Dony Batner, Mario Munoz, John Mathews, Fanny Clair, Harris Cooper, Lina Albert, Diego Wells, Paul Solvay, Ugo Mudd, Calisto Calisti. In 1866 Arizona a town is threatened by ruthless bandits and an ex-gunfighter is forced to strap on his guns for one final shootout. Cameron Mitchell is the chief interest as the protagonist in this fair Italian made oater originally called _**Jim il Primo**_ (Jim the First) and released in England as _**Killer's Canyon**_ by British Lion; title song sung by Peter Tevis.\n\n**2195** _ **The Last Gunfighter**_ **** Joseph Brenner, 1961. 56 min.

Smith, Lee Lazarow, Robert Apel. To get revenge on the sheriff who sent him to prison an outlaw and his gang kidnap the lawman's young daughter.

SC: Ed Earl Repp. With Russell Hayden, Dub Taylor, Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, Ann Savage, John Maxwell, Frank LaRue, Nick Thompson, Art Mix, John Merton, Blackie Whiteford, Ted Mapes, Forrest Taylor, Curley Dresden. Crooks plan to rob a bank and use an innocent female bank teller to help them but a cowboy and his pals save the day. Lots of action and music help this Russell Hayden vehicle.\n\n**2198** _ **The Last Hunt**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1956. 108 min. Color. D-SC: Richard Brooks. With Robert Taylor, Stewart Granger, Lloyd Nolan, Debra Paget, Russ Tamblyn, Constance Ford, Joe De Santis, Ainslie Pryor, Terry Wilson, Ralph Moody, Fred Graham, Ed Lonehill, Dan White, William Phillips, Jerry Martin, Roy Barcroft, Rosemary Johnston, Joe Rickson. A rancher, whose cattle herd has been destroyed by rampaging buffalos, teams with a sadistic hunter to destroy the animals.

A cowboy-stuntman, who enjoys violence for its own sake, goes to Peru to work on a Western movie and stays only to end up as a sacrifice by the natives.

SC: Arthur Orloff. With Rex Allen, Mary Ellen Kay, Slim Pickens, James Anderson, Boyd \"Red\" Morgan, Monte Montague, Michael Hall, Alan Bridge, Stan Jones, The Republic Rhythm Riders.

Morgan, James O'Connell, John Olson, Stephen Pocock, Chris Pray, Victor Preston, Nick Scoggin, Toby Stmp, Brain VanDerWilt.

A gang has been raiding the countryside and a range detective pretends to be an outlaw so he can infiltrate them.

SC: Kenneth Gamet.

D-SC: Tad Murphy.

Raymond Nye, Ed Brady, Merrill McCormick, Carl Stockdale, Cliff Lyons, Lillian Lawrence, Harry Tenbrook. Complications arise for a cowboy because after he saves a young woman from a bad man the outlaw's wife falls for him. Slow moving adaptation of Zane Grey's novel with songs added; first filmed in 1919 by Fox with William Farnum and remade by the studio in 1924 starring Tom Mix. Filmed simultaneously with the George O'Brien vehicle was a Spanish language version called _**El Ultimo de los Vargas**_ (The Last of the Vargas), directed by David Howard and starring George J. Lewis.\n\n**2208** _ **Last of the Duanes**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1941. 57 min. D: James Tinling.

Anthony Hughes, Paul E. Burns, William Pagan, Hank Worden, Max Wagner, Robert Winkler. Setting out to avenge the murder of his father, a cowboy gets an unjust reputation as a gunman. Fifth filming of the Zane Grey work is an okay \"B\" effort that helped George Montgomery on the road to stardom.\n\n**2209** _ **The Last of the Fast Guns**_ **** Universal-International, 1958. 82 min.

In the 1880s a group of sisters at a French settlement in Mexico turn to lawlessness to get the things they want in life.

Seitz, Jr. With Clayton Moore, Jay Silverheels, Glenn Strange, Walter Sande, George Chesebro, Jack Clifford, Tristram Coffin, Guy Wilkerson, Ralph Littlefield, George J. Lewis, Frank Fenton, Horace Murphy. The lone survivor of an ambushed band of Texas Rangers is nursed back to health by an Indian and the two team to round up the Butch Cavendish gang, the outlaws responsible for the massacre. Excellent version of the origins of the Lone Ranger, made up of the first three episodes of the TV series that ran on ABC-TV from 1949 to 1957. Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels are the epitome of the Lone Ranger and Tonto and Glenn Strange is fine as the vicious Cavendish; ten times better than the theatrical misfire of the same title issued in 1981 (q.v.).\n\n**2335** _ **The Legend of the Lone Ranger**_ **** Universal\/Associated Film Distribution, 1981. 98 min. Color. D: William A. Fraker. SC: Ivan Goff, Ben Roberts, Michael Kane and William Roberts.

Hoy, Ted Gehring, Buck Taylor, Chuck Hayward, Tom Laughlin, Terry Leonard, Bonita Granville, James Keach (voice). A young lawyer becomes the Lone Ranger to combat the evil Butch Cavendish gang's plans to kidnap President Ulysses S. Grant.

After he is alienated from his wife, Zorro learns the man she is seeing is the head of a secret society bent on taking over the United States. Fanciful Zorro outing, full of historical inaccuracies; sequel to _**The Mask of Zorro**_ (1998) [q.v.].\n\n**2342** _ **Legion of the Lawless**_ **** RKO Radio, 1940. 59 min. D: David Howard.

Sears, Matty Roubert, Jerry Jarrett, Cy Malis, Vic Holbrook, Ralph Bucko, Roy Bucko. A returning G.I. learns his father has let their radio station slip in quality and a rival is after his girlfriend.

Smith, George Plues. In Texas after the Civil War, a federal marshal disguises himself as an outlaw to infiltrate a guerrilla gang raiding supply wagons. Okay Bill Elliott vehicle that tends to be a bit slow; Jack Ingram is a good guy for a change.\n\n**2421** _ **Lone Star Raiders**_ **** Republic, 1940. 57 min. D: George Sherman. SC: Joseph March and Barry Shipman.

The Three Mesquiteers round up wild horses for the government and find themselves at odds with outlaws rustling the herds.

With George O'Brien, Sue Carol, Walter McGrail, Warren Hymer, Russell Simpson, Roy Stewart, Lee Shumway, Colin Chase, Richard Alexander, Joel Franz, Joe Rickson, Oliver Eckhardt, Caroline Rankin, Elizabeth Patterson, Billy Butts, Delmar Watson, William Steele, Bob Fleming, Ralph Le Fevre, Joe Chase, Ward Bond, Jane Keckley, Jack Perrin, Hank Bell. Falsely accused of crimes, a man is given the chance to redeem himself by capturing an outlaw gang. Strong George O'Brien vehicle from the 1915 Zane Grey novel, first filmed by Fox in 1919 starring William Farnum and again in 1923 with Tom Mix and Billie Dove.\n\n**2423** _ **The Lone Star Ranger**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1942. 58 min.

Stone, Russell Simpson, Dorothy Burgess, Tom Fadden, Fred Kohler, Jr., Eddy Waller, Harry Holden, George Melford, Tom London, Syd Saylor, Almira Sessions, Eva Puig, Jeff Corey, Robert Homans, Herbert Ashley, Alec Craig. A man quits being an outlaw, marries a pretty girl and is given a chance to get a pardon by bringing in his old gang. Futile attempt to make a genre star of John Kimbrough in this tepid fourth filming of the Zane Grey work.\n\n**2424** _ **The Lone Star Trail**_ **** Universal, 1943. 58 min. D: Ray Taylor.

A rancher, falsely sentenced to jail for bank robbery, is paroled and with the help of a marshal tries to find out who framed him. The last of the Johnny Mack Brown\u2013Tex Ritter series, this one is fast from start to finish; one of the first films to bring notice to Robert Mitchum, cast as a saloon owner.\n\n**2425** _ **The Lone Star Vigilantes**_ **** Columbia, 1942. 58 min. D: Wallace Fox. SC: Luci Ward.

After the Civil War two men return to Texas to find their town under the thumb of bandits masquerading as Army troops. Not an overly distinguished Bill Elliott-Tex Ritter teaming but Tex does sing the Johnny Marvin songs \"Headin' Home to Texas\" and \"When the Moon Is Shining on the Old Corral.\" Reissued by Astor in 1950. British title: _**The Devil's Price**_.\n\n**2426** _ **The Lone Texan**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1959. 70 min. D: Paul Landres. SC: James Landis and Jack Thomas.

Following the war between the states, a Union cavalry officer goes back to Texas to find he is labeled a traitor with his brother a corrupt sheriff.

With Bill Elliott, Bobby Blake, Alice Fleming, Roy Barcroft, Helen Talbot, Jack McClendon, Rex Lease, Tom Chatteron, Jack Kirk, Nelson McDowell, Dale Van Sickel, Frank O'Connor, Robert Wilke, Bud Geary, Budd Buster, Hal Price, Horace B. Carpenter, Nolan Leary, Tom Steele, Larry Olsen, Frederick Howard, Earl Dobbins, Bill Stevens, LeRoy Mason (voice). After killing a highly respected lawman, who was actually an outlaw leader, Red Ryder faces a challenge from the man's son.

SC: Bennett Cohen and Elizabeth (Betty) Burbridge. With Rex Lease, Virginia Brown Faire, Joe Bonomo, Billy O'Brien, Jack Mower, Robert Walker, Harry Todd, Josephine Hill, Edmund Cobb, Muro (dog). After his sister is murdered by an outlaw, a ranger learns the killer has kidnapped a young woman and plans to force her to marry him. Low grade feature supposedly edited from the 1931 serial _**Sign of the Wolf**_ (q.v.) but with a different plot emphasis that was remade as _**Skull and Crown**_ (q.v.).\n\n**2429** _ **Lone Wolf McQuade**_ **** Orion, 1983. 107 min.

A free spirited cowboy escapes from jail and is hunted by a posse using modern technology. This yesterday versus today's values oater is a good one, with excellent work by Kirk Douglas as the escapee.\n\n**2431** _ **The Lonely Man**_ **** Paramount, 1957. 87 min. D: Henry Levin. SC: Harry Essex.

At the close of the Civil War, the governor of Texas asks a rancher, who fought for the Union, to help rid the state of carpetbaggers.

Two retired Texas Rangers head a cattle drive to Montana with sometimes tragic results. Top notch TV miniseries based on Larry McMurtry's sprawling, ingratiating novel; followed by the small screen series of the same title that ran during the 1994\u201395 season for 21 episodes and \"Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years,\" a 22 episode series telecast during the 1995\u201396 season.\n\n**2434** _ **The Lonesome Trail**_ **** Syndicate, 1930. 60 min.

A cowboy brings a cattle herd to a buyer who is in cahoots with a bandit and his gang. Stilted early talkie with a bunch of wheezy vaudeville gangs and hero Charles Delaney singing \"Oh, Susannah.\"\n\n**2435** _ **The Lonesome Trail**_ **** Monogram, 1945. 57 min. D: Oliver Drake. SC: Louise Rousseau.

Much to the chagrin of his two pals, one of the three owners of a ghost town sells an interest in it to crooks who immediately start a false gold rush rumor. The music is good but the plot is weak in this Jimmy Wakely outing.\n\n**2436** _ **The Lonesome Trail**_ **** Lippert, 1955. 73 min. D: Richard Bartlett. SC: Richard Bartlett and Ian MacDonald. With Wayne Morris, John Agar, Margia Dean, Edgar Buchanan, Adele Jergens, Earle Lyon, Ian MacDonald, Douglas Fowley, Richard Bartlett, Betty Blythe. When land grabbers try to steal his place, a man retaliates with a bow and arrows instead of a six gun.

Crooks try to take advantage of the situation when a settlement is turned into a boom town following the discovery of gold.

A card sharp teams with a saloon woman to get the money needed to enter a high stakes poker game. Overlong but popular revival of \"Maverick\" (ABC-TV, 1957\u201362) with original series star James Garner cast as a lawman.\n\n**2624** _ **The Maverick Queen**_ **** Republic, 1956. 90 min. Color.

A woman hotel keeper works with an outlaw gang but finds herself falling in love with a newly arrived man not knowing he is an undercover Pinkerton agent about to break up the rustlers.

SC: Robert Altman and Brian McVey. With Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, Rene Auberjonois, Hugh Naughton, Shelley Duvall, Michael Murphy, John Schuck, Corey Fisher, Keith Carradine, William Devane, Anthony Holland, Bert Remsen, Elizabeth Murphy.

A marshal from the Southwest arrives in New York City with a witness who is promptly kidnapped, leading the lawman into a murder case. Telefeature very similar to _**Coogan's Bluff**_ (q.v.) and the pilot for \"McCloud\" (NBC-TV, 1971\u201376); better than average for this kind of fare. Retitled _**Portrait of a Dead Girl**_.\n\n**2628** _ **McKenna of the Mounted**_ **** Columbia, 1932. 66 min. D: D. Ross Lederman. SC: Stuart Anthony.

Following the Civil War an ex-slave who fought for the North returns home to be given half-interest in the farm he once worked but finds he is resented by the locals.

Growing up hating his younger brother, an outlaw plans to use him in a scheme to rustle cattle from the rancher judge who sent him to prison.

All of the great cowboy stars are united for one mighty feature film but due to contract disputes it is never released. This film attempts to make a completely new movie of clips from genre features of the past, but it is only of interest due to its oddity value. Shown at the Cannes Film Festival in 1977 but not issued theatrically; Eddie Dean sings the title song.\n\n**2633** _ **The Medico of Painted Springs**_ **** Columbia, 1941. 58 min.

An Army doctor recruiting men for the Rough Riders finds himself in the middle of warfare between sheep men and cattle raisers. Good start to the all too brief \"Dr. Monroe\" or \"Medico\" series, based on the works of James L. Rubel; followed by _**Thunder Over the Prairie**_ and _**Prairie Stranger**_ (qq.v.). Also called _**The Doctor's Alibi**_.\n\n**2634** _ **Melody of the Plains**_ **** Spectrum, 1937. 55 min. D: Sam Newfield. SC: Bennett Cohen.

A cowpoke, who mistakenly thinks he killed a man, goes to work for the supposed victim's rancher father whose spread is being sought by the crooks responsible for the shooting. Somewhat complicated and low grade but still worth a look to hear Fred Scott's singing since he was one of the best of the Western warblers. Remake of _**Gun Law**_ (1933) [q.v.].\n\n**2635** _ **Melody Ranch**_ **** Republic, 1940. 84 min. D: Joseph Santley. SC: Jack Moffitt and F. Hugh Herbert.

Cowpokes Gene Autry and Frog Millhouse get jobs as cooks on a ranch where the workers have quit and the owner uses his daughter's girl friends as hands. Pleasant Gene Autry vehicle with more emphasis on comedy and music than action.\n\n**2637** _ **Men of America**_ **** RKO Radio, 1932. 58 min. D: Ralph Ince. SC: Jack Jungmeyer and Humphrey Pearson. With Bill (William) Boyd, Charles \"Chic\" Sale, Dorothy Wilson, Ralph Ince, Henry Armetta, Alphonse Ethier, Theresa Maxwell Conover, Eugene Strong, Fatty Layman, Fred Lindstrom, Frank Mills, Inez Palange, F. Flink, Ernie Adams, Harry Strang, Harry Sullivan. A newcomer is blamed for a series of robberies and killings, committed by escaped convicts, and he teams with an old store owner to uncover the truth.

A Canadian adventurer is falsely accused of stealing gold from a mine but his innocence is believed by the owner's pretty daughter. Vintage melodrama is worth a look to see a youthful Gilbert Roland who starred (billed as Luis Alonso, his real name) in a Spanish language version entitled _**Monsieur Le Fox**_ , filmed simultaneously by producer-director Hal Roach, who also made French (starring Andre Luguet) and German (starring John Reinhardt) versions as _**Monsieur Le Fox**_ , and in Italian (starring Franco Corsaro) as _**Luigi La Volpe**_.\n\n**2640** _ **Men of the Plains**_ **** Colony, 1936. 63 min.

Returning home from World War I, a man finds his younger brother has been arrested for taking part in a bank robbery and he is soon captured by an outlaw leader.

Another entertaining Gene Autry outing enhanced by the title song plus a trio of other country\/western favorites, \"Cool Water,\" \"The Old Chisholm Trail\" and \"Room Full of Roses.\"\n\n**2712** _ **Murder on the Yukon**_ **** Monogram, 1940. 59 min.

With Joel McCrea, Robert Fuller, Patrick Wayne, Nika Mina, Tiger (horse), Rote (dog). On the Montana-Canadian border an aging cowboy helps a young Indian boy round up a wild stallion. Joel McCrea returned to the screen in this very entertaining drama that is a good bet for the entire family; recommended.\n\n**2715** _ **Mutiny at Fort Sharp**_ **** Walter Manley Enterprises, 1966. 91 min. Color. D: Fernando Cerchio. SC: Ugo Liberatore and Fernando Cerchio. With Broderick Crawford, Elisa Montes, Mario Valdemarin, Umberto Ceriani, Hugo Arden, Julio Pena, Carlos Mendi, Tomas Pico, Nando Angelini. In 1864 French troops accidentally cross into Confederate territory in Texas from Mexico and are forced to join the rebels at a fort about to be besieged by Indians. Mediocre Spanish-made and poorly dubbed oater originally called _**Per un Dollaro di Gloria**_ (For a Dollar of Glory); Broderick Crawford is lethargic as the Confederate fort commander.\n\n**2716** _ **Mutiny in the Arctic**_ **** Universal, 1941. 64 min. D: John Rawlins. SC: Maurice Tombragel and Victor McLeod. With Richard Arlen, Andy Devine, Anne Nagel, Don Terry, Addison Richards, Oscar O'Shea, Harry Cording, Jeff Corey, John Rogers, John Bagni, Stanley Blystone, Sam Adams, Gibson Gowland, Eddie Dew, David Sharpe, Peter Potter, Charles Sullivan, Leo Abbey, Dave Wengren.

In 1840 a naval investigator looks into slave running between California and the Sandwich Islands and later the Mexican government tries to wipe out American settlers in California.

D: John Ford. SC: Samuel G. Engel and Winston Miller.

Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday go after the Clanton clan when they steal the Earp's cattle and murder his youngest brother. Pictorially interesting but historically inaccurate retelling of the events leading up to the gunfight at O.K.

With Preston Foster, Rita Johnson, Roddy McDowall, James Bell, Jeff Corey, Diana Hale, Arthur Loft, Jimmy Aubrey. Against his father's wishes, a young boy tries to tame a wild horse he has grown to love.

Returning home after many years, a cowboy goes back to the rodeo circuit to raise money after finding his father in an assisted living facility and his ex-girlfriend a widow with two children.

Thrown out of town by snobs, a beautiful woman meets a con man and pretends to marry him in order to gain social acceptance. The teaming of Mae West and W.C. Fields is hardly a classic comedy but it is a funny affair that has delighted audiences ever since its release and is well worth viewing.\n\n**Mae West and Dick Foran in** _**My Little Chickadee**_ **(Universal, 1940).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**2723** _ **My Name Is Nobody**_ **** Universal, 1974. 115 min.

In 1899 an aging gunman heads to retirement in New Orleans but comes across a younger shooter who soon makes him his idol.

With Robert Woods, Peter Carsten, Lucia Modugno, Norman Karlk, Christina Josani, Max Dean, Norman Clark (Pier Paolo Capponi), Lou Castel, Guilano Raffaeli, Morris Boone, Umi Raho, George Eastman (Luigi Montefiori), Dario De Grassi, Peter Martell, Sal Borghese, Franco Gula.

A cowboy takes his frontier show into a kingdom where plotters are trying to take the throne from a boy king. A different kind of Tom Mix film but one that is well done and quite entertaining.\n\n**2727** _ **My Pal Trigger**_ **** Republic, 1946. 79 min. D: Frank McDonald. SC: Jack Townley and John K. Butler. With Roy Rogers, George \"Gabby\" Hayes, Dale Evans, Jack Holt, Bob Nolan and The Sons of the Pioneers (Tim Spencer, Lloyd Perryman, Pat Brady, Shug Fisher, Hugh Farr, Karl Farr), LeRoy Mason, Roy Barcroft, Sam Flint, Kenne Duncan, Ralph Sanford, Francis McDonald, Harlan Briggs, William Haade, Alan Bridge, Paul E. Burns, Frank Reicher, Fred Graham, Ted Mapes, Tom London, Earle Hodgins, George Magrill, Eddie Parker. Singing star Roy Rogers helps a rancher about to lose his spread to a crooked rival, ends up in jail on a bogus charge and almost loses Trigger. Good Roy Rogers feature although Jack Holt steals the show as the villain; remade as _**Rodeo King and the Senorita**_ (q.v.).\n\n**2728** _ **My Side of the Mountain**_ **** Paramount, 1969. 100 min. Color. D: James B. Clark. SC: Ted Sherdeman, Jane Klove and Joanna Crawford. With Tommy Eccles, Theodore Bikel, Tudi Wiggins, Frank Perry, Peggi Boder, Gina Dick, Karen Pearson. A boy decides to emulate his hero Thoreau and live close to nature after his father reneges on a promised camping trip.

SC: Clement Perron and Claude Jutra. With Jean Duceppe, Lynde Champagne, Olivette Thibault, Claude Jutra, Jacaues Gagnon, Lionel Villeneuve, Helene Loiselle, Mario Dubuc, Lise Brunelle, Alain Legendre, Serge Evers, Robin Marcous, Monique Mercure, Georges Alexander, Rene Aslvatore Catta, Jean Dubost, Benoit Marcoux, Dominique Joly, Lisa Talbot, Michel Talbot, Simeon Dallaire, Sydney Harris, Roger Garand.

With Tim Holt, Richard Martin, Movita, Robert Livingston, Edward Norris, Frank Wilcox, William Tannen, Robert B. Williams, Kenneth MacDonald, Frank Lackteen, Kermit Maynard. Crooks want land recently inherited by a man and they try to frame him on a false charge so he will lose its ownership.

Calvert, Sherwood Bailey, Niles Welch, Clarence Wilson. A cowboy takes on the guise of a hooded phantom to protect area ranchers from outlaws. Kent Taylor is good in the lead, abetted by a fine supporting cast, although it has little to do with the Zane Grey work on which it was supposedly based.; reissued as _**The Fighting Phantom**_ and remade in 1938 (q.v.).\n\n**2733** _ **The Mysterious Rider**_ **** Paramount, 1938. 78 min. D: Lesley Selander. SC: Maurice Geraghty. With Douglass Dumbrille, Sidney Toler, Russell Hayden, Charlotte Fields, Weldon Heyburn, Monte Blue, Stanley Andrews, Earl Dwire, Glenn Strange, Jack Rockwell, Leo McMahon, Ben Corbett, Ed Brady, Robert Kortman, Richard Alexander, Arch Hall, Price Mitchell. A drifter rides into an area plagued by outlaw raids and becomes a masked avenger to help ranchers. Like its predecessor this film bears little resemblance to the Zane Grey book but it is a corker of a good movie anyway.\n\n**2734** _ **The Mysterious Rider**_ **** Producers Releasing Corporation, 1942. 57 min. D: Sam Newfield. SC: Steve Braxton. With Buster Crabbe, Al St. John, Caroline Burke, John Merton, Edwin Brian, Jack Ingram, Slim Whitaker, Kermit Maynard, Ted Adams, Guy Wilkerson, Frank Ellis, Jimmy Aubrey, Bert Dillard, Joe Phillips, Augie Gomez. Two children are being cheated out of a mine they inherited with Billy the Kid coming to their rescue. Typically fast moving and cheap looking PRC \"Bill the Kid\" series entry; reissued in 1947 by Eagle Lion in a re-edited 39-minute version called _**Panhandle Trail**_.\n\n_**The Mysterious Stranger**_ see _**Code of the Lawless**_\n\n**2735** _ **The Mystery Brand**_ **** Rayart, 1927. 52 min. D: Ben Wilson. With Ben Wilson, Neva Gerber, Al Ferguson, Ted Henderson, Lafe McKee. A representative of the Cattlemen's Association gets on the trail of a gang of horse thieves. Nothing to brag about, but this silent effort lets the viewer see the poplar serial team of Ben Wilson and Neva Gerber in one of their many oaters. Alternate title: _**Lariat's End**_.\n\n**2736** _ **Mystery Man**_ **** United Artists, 1944. 58 min. D: George Archainbaud. SC: J. Benton Cheney. With William Boyd, Andy Clyde, Jimmy Rogers, Eleanor Stewart, Don Costello, Francis McDonald, Jack Rockwell, Pierce Lyden, John Merton, Bob Burns, Ozie Waters, Art Mix, George Morrell, Bob Baker, Hank Bell, Bill Hunter, Bill Nestell, Lew Meehan, Herman Hack, Henry Wills, Lew Morphy. Hopalong Cassidy, California Carlson and Jimmy Rogers find themselves at odds with a gang of robbers led by a man pretending to be a respectable citizen.

Ex-gunman turned detective Hec Ramsey wants to find the killer of a lawman's bride-to-be and her young son. More than competent mystery\u2013Western telefilm first shown as an episode of \"Hec Ramsey\" (NBC-TV, 1972\u201374).\n\n_**The Mystery of the Golden Eye**_ see _**The Golden Eye**_\n\n**2739** _ **The Mystery of the Green Feather**_ **** NBC-TV\/Universal, 1972. 98 min.

Indians are blamed for the massacre of a white family after a sacred medicine bag is found at the scene but detective Hec Ramsey does not believe they are guilty and tries to prove it. Entertaining TV movie originally telecast as \"The Green Feather Mystery\" episode of \"Hec Ramsey\" (NBC-TV, 1972\u201374).\n\n**2740** _ **Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen**_ **** Grand National, 1937. 60 min.

Ray). SC: Carl Krusada and Rose Gordon.

A mystery writer visits a ranch where he thwarts all kinds of practical jokes but accidentally becomes involved with crooks who have stolen gold bullion. The light hearted plot helps this low grade Tom Tyler feature.\n\n**2743** _ **Mystery Range**_ **** Victory, 1937. 55 min. D: Robert Hill. SC: Basil Dickey. With Tom Tyler, Jerry Bergh, Milburn Morante, Lafe McKee, Roger Williams, Richard Alexander, Jim Corey, Slim Whitaker, Steve Clark, George Morrell, Lafe McKee, Robert Hill, Wally West, Bud Pope, Buck Morgan. A cattleman's protective association agent masquerades as an outlaw to investigate a man trying to cheat his niece out of her ranch because the land is wanted by a railroad.

With Lee \"Lasses\" White, Don Haggerty, Texas Jim Lewis, Ruth (Grace Lee) Whitney, Jack Elam, Forrest Taylor, Frank Austin, Dutch Schlickenmayer, Ed Ray, Ronald Marriott, Pat Henry, Clyde Jackman. A circuit judge and his deputy try to find the killer of a man whose brother is accused of the crime. Produced by writer-director Ande Lamb and Bart Carre for Louis Weiss, this one is near the bottom of the barrel.\n\n**2745** _ **The Mystery Trooper**_ **** Syndicate, 1931. 10 Chapters. D: Stuart Paton. SC: Carl Krusada.

The story of a Plains Indian tribe in the early 1800s with a boy destined to grow into a warrior and lead his people.

With Arthur Kennedy, Betta St. John, Eugene Iglesias, Roy Engel, Charlita, Tony Martinez, Francis McDonald. A bandit robs a train, takes refuge with a Mexican farmer and schemes to steal the man's pretty wife. Lionized as a classic by Edgar G. Ulmer followers, this film does make good use of color and contains fine performances by Arthur Kennedy and Betta St. John, but overall is basically a talky soap opera with a few artistic touches.\n\n**2748** _ **The Naked Gun**_ **** Associated Film Releasing, 1956. 73 min. D: Edward Dew. SC: Ron Ormond and Jack Lewis. With Willard Parker, Mara Corday, Barton MacLane, Tom Brown, Chick Chandler, Veda Ann Borg, Timothy Carey, Billy House, Morris Ankrum, Bill Phillips, X Brands, Steve Raines, Rick Valllin, Jim Hayward, Jody McCrea, Tony McCoy, Bill Ward, Elena Di Vinci, Ben Frommer, Gil Donaldson. Attempting to deliver jewels to the heirs of an estate, an insurance agent becomes involved with crooks who are after an Aztec treasure. Poor production values hurt this otherwise acceptable drama; director Edward Dew is the Eddie Dew who starred in Westerns for Republic and Universal in the 1940s.\n\n**2749** _ **The Naked Hills**_ **** Allied Artists, 1956. 73 min. Color. D-SC: Josef Shaftel. With David Wayne, Keenan Wynn, James Barton, Jim Backus, Marcia Henderson, Denver Pyle, Myrna Dell, Lewis Russell, Frank Fenton, Fuzzy Knight, Jim Hayward, Steve Terrell, Chris Olsen.

With James Craig, Lita Milan, Barton MacLane, Robert Wark, Jim Boles, Tony Hunter, Douglas Wilson, Bill Armstrong, Dennis Cross, Peter Dearing, Tony Morris, Mike Recco.

With James Stewart, Janet Leigh, Robert Ryan, Ralph Meeker, Millard Mitchell. A bounty hunter after a wanted man plans to use the reward money to buy back land he lost during the Civil War.

An Indian deputy sheriff is caught between his tribe's desire to save an historic mission and the local citizens wanting to use the spot for a housing development.

D: Lambert Hillyer. SC: Harvey E. Thew. With William S. Hart, Sylvia Breamer, Milton Ross, Robert Kortman.

In the 1850s a power hungry man plans to rule an empire in Mississippi and Tennessee but when he kills a plantation owner and his daughter his fiancee plots his downfall. Okay melodrama with good work by Zachary Scott in the lead role; also called _**Bandits of the Natchez Trace**_.\n\n**2755** _ **Nate and the Colonel**_ **** MTI, 2003. 106 min. Color. D-SC: Paul Winters. With Paul Winters, Ricco Ross, Mark S. Brien, Al Harrington, Carlos Milano, Lee Whitestar, Kansas Carradine, Victoria Ramirez, David Midthunder, Micah May, Joe Seely, Karen Genaro, Nik Winterhawk, Ken Reiching, Michael Franco, Kevin P. Kearns, Mark Irvingsen. Once boyhood friends, an ex-slave and a Confederate colonel join forces after the Civil War to help Indians harassed by the U.S. cavalry.

Morton, William Moore, Harry Tyler, Ben Hall. Fleeing from an unhappy romance in France, a princess arrives in the wilds of Canada where she falls in love with a captain.

With Francis Kee Teller, John Mitchell, Billy Draper, Mrs. Teller, Sammy Ogg. A Navajo Indian boy tries to come to terms with his heritage and modern-day life on the reservation.

With Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Frances Grant, Donald Kirke, Earle Hodgins, The Light Crust Doughboys, Clara Kimball Young, Boothe Howard, Ed Peil, Sr., Frankie Marvin, Carl Stockdale, Gerald Roscoe, Roger Gray, Fred Burns, Walter James, Fred \"Snowflake\" Toones, Earl Dwire, Bruce Mitchell, Jack Kirk, George Morrell, Horace B. Carpenter, Tommy Coats, Pascale Perry, William McCall, Silver Tip Baker. After outlaws knock him out and steal his clothes, Gene Autry is mistaken for a bad man and when his pals help him to escape he becomes the object of a manhunt. More music and pseudo-Western nonsense that made Gene Autry the era's top genre star.\n\n**2851** _ **Oh, Susanna**_ **** Republic, 1951. 90 min. Color. D: Joseph Kane. SC: Charles Marquis Warren.

At a frontier outpost, two Army rivals battle each other and the possibility of a Sioux uprising.

A backwoods girl running a gun shop falls for the town's new sheriff and when she wants him to arrest a saloon owner he makes her his deputy.

With Jimmy Wakely, Dub Taylor, Virginia Belmont, I. Stanford Jolley, Zon Murray, George J. Lewis, Steve Clark, Frank LaRue, Milburn Morante, Charles King, Bob Woodward, J.C. Lytton, Dick Reinhart, Don Weston, Arthur \"Fiddlin'\" Smith, George Morrell, Artie Ortego, Victor Cox, Jack Hendricks. A singing cowboy finds himself in between two towns fighting for the location of the county seat. A bit more action than usual for a Jimmy Wakely musical, but still none too good.\n\n**Arthur Smith, Frank LaRue, George Morrell, Dick Reinhart, Virginia Belmont, Jimmy Wakely, Don Weston and Dub Taylor in** _**Oklahoma Blues**_ **(Monogram, 1948).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**2859** _ **Oklahoma Crude**_ **** Columbia, 1973. 105 min.

Mann, John Dierkes, Karl Lucas, Wayne Storm, Billy Varga. A drifter is hired by the woman owner of an oil well to help her fight the encroachment of a large petroleum company.

With Bob Steele, Nita Ray, Al St. John, Charles L. King, Slim Whitaker, Shorty Hendricks, Emilio Fernandez, Hector Sarno, Fred Burns, Cliff Lyons, John Ince. A cowboy infiltrates an outlaw gang as he searches for his missing sheriff father and promptly falls for a pretty senorita. Early talkie is a bit shaky in its production values but Bob Steele's (who croons a couple of tunes) fans will not mind.\n\n**2861** _ **Oklahoma Frontier**_ **** Universal, 1939. 59 min. D-SC: Ford Beebe. With Johnny Mack Brown, Anne Gwynne, Fuzzy Knight, Bob Baker, James Blaine, Lane Chandler, Anthony Warde, Robert Kortman, Harry Tenbrook, Charles King, Horace Murphy, George Chesebro, Jose De La Cruz, Lloyd Ingraham, The Texas Rangers, Alan Bridge, Hank Worden, Hank Bell, Blackie Whiteford, Roy Harris, George Magrill, Tom Smith, Robert Cummings, Frank Mayo, Dick Rush. Crooks after water rights frame a cowboy for the murder of his best friend and the accused man's girl tries to save him.

With Bill Cody, Marion Burns, Andy Shuford, William Desmond, Si Jenks, Franklyn Farnum, John Elliott, Ed Brady, G.D. Wood (Gordon DeMain), Earl Dwire, Iron Eyes Cody, Ann Ross, Artie Ortego. A saloon owner causes the death of an Indian maiden and places the blame on a gambler who has fallen in love with the man's late partner's daughter.

With Johnny Mack Brown, James Ellison, Phyllis Coates, Barbara Allen, Kenne Duncan, Lane Bradford, Marshall Reed, Zon Murray, I. Stanford Jolley, Stanley Price, Bruce Edwards, Richard Avonde, Lyle Talbot, Carl Mathews, Ed Cassidy, George DeNormand. With the assistance of his stagecoach driver pal, a lawman pretends to be an outlaw to locate a robbery gang. First feature teaming Johnny Mack Brown and James Ellison is only average.\n\n**2864** _ **The Oklahoma Kid**_ **** Warner Bros., 1939. 85 min. D: Lloyd Bacon. SC: Warren Duff, Robert Buckner and Edward E. Paramore. With James Cagney, Rosemary Lane, Humphrey Bogart, Donald Crisp, Harvey Stephens, Hugh Sothern, Charles Middleton, Edward Pawley, Ward Bond, Lew Harvey, Trevor Bardette, John Miljan, Arthur Aylesworth, Irving Bacon, Joe Devlin, Wade Boteler, Dan Wolheim, Ray Mayer, Robert Kortman, Tex Cooper, John Harron, Stuart Holmes, Jeffrey Sayre, Frank Mayo, Jack Mower, Alan Bridge, Don Barclay, Horace Murphy, Robert Homans, George Lloyd, Soledad Jiminez, Clem Bevans, Ed Brady, Tom Chatterton, Elliott Sullivan, George Chesebro, Olin Francis, Al Jennings, Blackjack Ward, Jack Kenney, Gene Alsace, Jess Cavin, Kit Guard, Morgan Flowers. In the 1890s a daredevil bandit in Oklahoma Territory robs from the rich and gives to the poor as he tries to avenge his father's murder. Rather strange Western with James Cagney as a singing hero and Humphrey Bogart as a dastardly villain; best viewed as tongue-in-cheek.\n\n**2865** _ **Oklahoma Passage**_ **** Oklahoma Educational Television Authority, 1989. 300 min.

Spradlin and General Thomas Stafford (hosts). TV miniseries detailing the removal of the Five Civilized Tribes to the Oklahoma Territory and its resulting history.

Coming home after serving in the Spanish-American War, three cowboys help veterans trying to homestead but are being harassed by local ranchers.

A singer witnesses a Chicago gangland murder and flees West to a town where a gambler recognizes her and informs the gangsters who want her silenced.

Writer Ambrose Bierce is in Mexico covering the 1913 Pancho Villa uprising and becomes involved with an American woman and a Mexican general. Big budget affair is a half-hearted attempt to portray an involved historical event.\n\n**2877** _ **The Old Homestead**_ **** Liberty, 1935. 73 min. D: William Nigh. SC: W. Scott Darling. With Mary Carlisle, Lawrence Gray, Willard Robertson, Dorothy Lee, Eddie Nugent, Lillian Miles, Fuzzy Knight, Eddie Kane, Harry Conley, The Sons of the Pioneers (Bob Nolan, Len Slye [Roy Rogers], Hugh Farr, Karl Farr, Vern [Tim] Spencer), Sally Sweet, George Lloyd, Gayne Whitman, Horace B.

During the 1920s a former cavalry officer returns to duty to stop outlaws terrorizing the plains and comes up with the idea of using tanks to stop them.

D: William Witney. SC: Milton Raison. With Rex Allen, Slim Pickens, Virginia Hall, Roy Barcroft, The Republic Rhythm Riders, Zon Murray, Harry Harvey, Gil Herman, Wade Crosby, Leonard Nimoy.

White renegades try to discredit Apaches by attacking ranchers in hopes of getting Indian lands, but Old Shatterhand and his blood brother Winnetou uncover the plot. Filmed in Yugoslavia in 70mm Superpanorama, this West German Western is well done, highly entertaining and will appeal to genre fans due to stars Lex Barker and Guy Madison. Called _**La Battaglia di Fort Apache**_ (The Battle of Fort Apache) in Italy, it was released in the U.S. in 1967 by Goldstone Film Enterprises as _**Shatterhand**_ but cut by 33 minutes; British and TV title: _**Apache's Last Battle**_.\n\n**2884** _ **The Old Texas Trail**_ **** Universal, 1944. 60 min.

In late 1800s Kansas a mysterious harmonica playing stranger shows up to avenge the murder of his father as the ruthless killer and his hired guns try to take land containing water needed by the railroad.

A gambler, sharpshooter and an actor vie for a cache of stolen loot but unite to oppose Mexican outlaws also after the money. The three leads, a seriocomic approach and not much violence make this a more than passable Spaghetti Western; an Italian-Spanish co-production released in Europe as _**I Tre Che Sconvolsero il West**_ (The Three That Upset the West) and _**Vado, Vedo e Sparo**_ (I Came, I Saw and I Shot).\n\n**2901** _ **One Eyed Jacks**_ **** Paramount, 1961. 141 min.

Released from prison, an outlaw seeks revenge on the partner who betrayed him and finds he is now a sheriff. Lots of psychological overtones in this overblown feature that was cut prior to release, which may explain why it is not as satisfying as it should be.\n\n**2902** _ **One Foot in Hell**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1960. 90 min. Color. D: James B. Clark. SC: Aaron Spelling.

A lawman after a bank robber ends up helping a female revolutionary in Mexico defend an Indian village against a tyrant.

Falsely accused of crimes by his superiors, a cavalryman escapes from prison, heads into the desert on a camel and befriends an runaway Indian boy.

Arriving in town, a cowboy learns he is the look-a-like of a supposedly dead rancher and he agrees to impersonate the man to help the sheriff catch a gang rustling cattle belonging to the deceased's pretty widow. Strong Charles Starrett vehicle making good use of the amnesia gimmick; a remake of _**Texas Cyclone**_ (q.v.).\n\n**2908** _ **One Man Law**_ **** Columbia, 1932. 60 min. D-SC: Lambert Hillyer. With Buck Jones, Shirley Grey, Robert Ellis, Murdock MacQuarrie, Harry Todd, Henry Sedley, Ernie Adams, Richard Alexander, Wesley Girard, Ed LeSaint, Fred Burns, Jim Corey, Tex Phelps, Roy Bucko.

Blake, Lane Chandler, Timothy Scott, Hal Needham, Jim Burk, Ray Limas, Guy Lee. After being released from prison a man tries to locate the partner who double crossed him and learns he is the leading citizen of a town trying to cheat Chinese out of a fortune in gold. Average action outing somewhat helped by its supporting cast of veteran players.\n\n**2912** _ **One of the Missing**_ **** Feigelson Productions, 1971. 56 min. Color. D: Julius D. Feigelson. With Todd Armstrong, Gordon Baxter. During the Civil War a sharpshooter is pinned by heavy beams after an explosion with his cocked rifle pointed directly between his eyes.

A cowboy suspects a rancher murdered his brother and sets out to ruin the man. Tim McCoy's first Columbia series entry is okay but not up to the standard of some of his later movies.\n\n**2916** _ **One's the Same as Another**_ **** Producciones Rosas Priego, 1959. 87 min. D-SC: Jaime Salvador.

Calvert, Virginia Bruce, Elda Voelkel, William LeMaire, Freeman S. Wood, Lalo Encinas, Clinton Rosemond. During the Civil War a Union officer is rejected by his girlfriend and volunteers to work as a spy.

A disciplinarian cavalry officer leads a small group of men who hate him through Indian country, fighting Apaches and feuding among themselves over a beautiful woman who has joined them.

After the theft of an express package, a crook takes the identity of a railroad agent in order to get the reward but is opposed by a woman and her partner.

Hinds, Frank Marlowe, DeWitt Jennings, Ernie Adams, Clarence Wilson, Franklin Parker, Claudia Coleman, Sherry Hall, James C. Morton, John Larkin, Wally Howe, Bob Stevenson, Lia Lance, Charles Lloyd. During the Civil War an actress heads South in order to spy for the North. Hokey historical melodrama wastes a good cast.\n\n**2924** _ **Ordeal**_ **** ABC-TV\/20th Century\u2013Fox, 1973. 73 min.

Dr. Samuel Mudd, for setting John Wilkes Booth's broken leg after the Lincoln assassination, is sentenced to life at the prison in Dry Tortugas and later becomes a hero during a Yellow Fever outbreak.

A cavalry officer innocently incurs the wrath of a Shoshone Indian chief when he rescues a maiden from a tribal ceremony.

An undercover agent works along the Mexican border trying to capture a gang of counterfeiters. The final entry in John Wayne's Monogram\u2013Lone Star series is a pretty good one, highlighted by Earle Hodgins' barker scenes; colorized as _**Guns Along the Trail**_.\n\n**3037** _ **The Paradise Trail**_ **** Mark IV Pictures, 1979. 90 min. Color. D: Donald W. Thompson. SC: Russell S. Doughten, Jr. and Donald W. Thompson. With Burt Douglas, Robert Somers, Gene Otis, Teri Hernandez, Deborah Trissel, Richard Jury, Russell Porter, John Isaacs, Ron Kaye, Jim Koch, Terry Wagner, The Chuckwagoneers, Dusty (mule).

In the savage West of the future a terrible giant parasite destroys people while a doctor tries to find a way to combat the menace.

A cowboy loves the boss' daughter who is also courted by a rival rancher, with the two men at odds during an annual relay race. Stupefying, silly early talkie that lends its second half to a series of musical numbers in a barn dance setting; mainly for Tom Keene fans.\n\n**3042** _ **Pardon My Gun**_ **** Columbia, 1942. 57 min. D: William Berke. SC: Wyndham Gittens. With Charles Starrett, Alma Carroll, Noah Beery, Arthur Hunnicutt, Texas Jim Lewis and His Lone Star Cowboys, Dick Curtis, Ted Mapes, Lloyd Bridges, Dave Harper, Robert Graves, Guy Usher, Jack Kirk, Steve Clark, Art Mix, Robert (Kellard) Stevens, George Morrell, Joel Friedkin, Denver Dixon, Rube Dalroy, Jim Corey, Jessie Arnold, Lyle Clement. A surveyor and a sheep rancher's daughter find themselves accused of murder when a man is bushwhacked and robbed of a large amount of money.

A young reverend comes to a brawling mining town and tries to reform its citizens. Producer Harry Sherman's very pleasant screen adaptation of the Peter B. Kyne story, previously filmed in 1916 by Paramount with Dustin Farnum and remade by the same studio in 1922 starring Jack Holt.\n\n**3047** _ **The Parting of the Trails**_ **** Syndicate, 1930. 60 min. D: J.P. McGowan. SC: Sally Winters. With Bob Custer, Vivian Ray, Bobby Dunn, Henry Roquemore, George A. Miller, Tommy Bay.

Simon, Tracy Layne, Bill Nestell. A horse raiser is blamed for the murder of the man who loaned him the money to buy a ranch and he tries to find the killer.

Lytton, Boyd Stockman, Arthur \"Fiddlin'\" Smith, Don Weston. A woman plans to murder her husband but the plot is uncovered by a singing cowboy. Mystery element and songs help this otherwise laggard Jimmy Wakely feature.\n\n**3051** _ **Partners of the Trail**_ **** Monogram, 1931. 63 min. D: Wallace Fox. SC: G.A. Durlam. With Tom Tyler, Betty Mack, Lafe McKee, Reginald Sheffield, Pat Rooney, Alan Bridge, Stanley Blystone, Marguerite McWade, Horace B. Carpenter, Jack Richardson, C.V. Bussey.

Two lawmen ride to a small town to discover why ranchers are being murdered and uncover a plot to obtain a rich gold claim.

With Cornel Wilde, Yvonne De Carlo, Raymond Burr, Lon Chaney, John Qualen, Rodolfo Acosta, Anthony Caruso, Frank De Kova, Peter Coe, Clayton Moore, John Dierkes, Richard Hale, Rosa Turich, Stuart Whitman, James Kirkwood, Robert Warwick, Belle Mitchell, Alex Montoya, Zon Murray, Gil Frye, Rozene Kemper. In Spanish California a man learns his wife and daughter have been murdered by a land hungry Army officer and his thugs and he teams with his pretty sister-in-law to get revenge. Interesting, violent Western with good work by Yvonne De Carlo in dual roles and Lon Chaney as the vicious henchman Castro; concluding gunfight sequence in the snowy Sierras is a knockout.\n\n**3055** _ **Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1973. 106 min. Color. D: Sam Peckinpah. SC: Rudolph Wurlitzer. With James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson, Richard Jaeckel, Katy Jurado, Chill Wills, Jason Robards, Bob Dylan, R.G.

Sheriff Pat Garrett gets on the trail of his ex-pal Billy the Kid after the outlaw refuses his orders to leave New Mexico Territory. Stagnant version of the final days of the famous outlaw with self-indulgent direction and a lifeless music score by Bob Dylan. Heavily re-cut for television in a 122-minute version that reinstates footage with Barry Sullivan.\n\n**3056** _ **The Pathfinder**_ **** Columbia, 1953. 78 min. Color. D: Sidney Salkow. SC: Robert E. Kent. With George Montgomery, Helena Carter, Jay Silverheels, Walter Kingsford, Rodd Redwing, Elena Verdugo, Chief Yowlachie, Ross Conklin, Bruce Lester, Ed Coch, Jr., Stephen Bekassy, Vi Ingraham, Adele St. Maur. When the French attack his tribe, an Englishman raised by the Indians tries to help the British. Tepid retelling of James Fenimore Cooper's \"Leatherstocking\" tales, embellished by color.\n\n**3057** _ **The Pathfinder and the Mohican**_ **** International Television Corporation (ITC), 1964. 90 min. D: Sam Newfield. SC: Nat Tanchuck. With John Hart, Lon Chaney, Jonathan White, Angela Fusco, Larry Solway. Delaware Indians are falsely accused of crimes against the settlers with Hawkeye and Chingachgook trying to find out the truth. Okay paste-up telefeature from three segments of \"Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans\" (Syndicated, 1956\u201357), filmed in Canada.\n\n_**Paths of Hate**_ see _**Bullet and the Flesh**_\n\n**3058** _ **Pawnee**_ **** Republic, 1957. 80 min. Color. D-SC: George Waggner. With George Montgomery, Lola Albright, Bill Williams, Francis McDonald, Robert E. Griffin, Dabbs Greer, Kathleen Freeman, Charlotte Austin, Ralph Moody, Anne Barton, Raymond Hatton, Charles Horvath, Robert Nash. A white man raised by the Indians must choose between his own race and his adopted one when corrupt whites try to steal Indian lands.

After the Civil War a bounty hunter infiltrates a renegade band of Confederates in Texas after a hidden treasure. Fierce and bloody Italian Western, likely to appeal to Guy Madison fans; made in 1967 by Circus Film\/Rono Roma\/St. Regis Films as _**7 Winchester per un Massacre**_ (7 Winchesters for a Massacre) and re-titled _**Winchester for Hire**_ for television and _**Blake's Marauders**_ on video.\n\n**3060** _ **Peace for a Gunfighter**_ **** Crown International, 1965. 82 min. Color. D: Raymond Boley. SC: Michael W. Fuller. With Burt Berger, JoAnne Meredith, Everett King, Sterling Walker, Danny Zapien, John Scovern, Mark Farrington, Ray Odom, Mark Sanchez, Allen Wood. A gunman called \"The Preacher\" tries to give up his trade but meets with resistance in a frontier town.

With James Mitchell, Rosemarie Bowe, Jan Merlin, Jess Barker, Hugh Sanders, Herbert Patterson, Dorothy Patrick, Taylor Holmes, Robert Armstrong, Philip Tonge, Wheaton Chambers, Harry Shannon, Jack Holland, Nancy Evans. An ex-gunfighter turned preacher arrives in an area to find a feud between settlers and ranchers. Vapid affair; typical example of the genre's decline in the late 1950s.\n\n**3062** _ **The Pecos Kid**_ **** Commodore, 1935. 56 min. D: William Berke. SC: Henry Hess. With Fred Kohler, Jr., Ruth Findlay, Wally Wales, Roger Williams, Francis Walker, Ed Cassidy, Budd Buster, Robert Walker, Clyde McClary, Rose Plummer, Earl Dwire, Jack Evans, Milburn Morante, Phil Dunham, Tex Palmer, Ray Henderson. After his family is murdered by outlaws, a boy grows up determined to get revenge on the culprits. Cheaply made but rather interesting Fred Kohler, Jr. vehicle; worth a look.\n\n**3063** _ **Pecos River**_ **** Columbia, 1951. 55 min. D: Fred F. Sears. SC: Barry Shipman. With Charles Starrett, Smiley Burnette, Jack (Jock) Mahoney, Delores Sidener, Steve Darrell, Harmonica Bill (William Russell), Edgar Dearing, Frank Jenks, Paul Campbell, Zon Murray, Maudie Prickett, Eddie Fetherston, Frank McCarroll, Al Haskell, Blackie Whiteford. A post office investigator masquerades as a stage driver while trying to find out who has been carrying out a series of mail robberies. Okay entry in the \"Durango Kid\" series. British title: _**Without Risk**_.\n\n**3064** _ **Per un Pugno nell'Occhio**_ (For a Fist in the Eye) **** Fenix Film\/Ramo Film, 1965. 101 min. Color. D: Michele Lupo. SC: Eduardo M. Brochero.

Two zanies arrives in a border town where rival gangs are out to control the restaurant business. Unintelligible Italian-Spanish Western \"comedy\" from the inane team of Franco and Ciccio, also known as _**Fistful of Knuckles**_.\n\n**3065** _ **The Perfect Alibi**_ **** Photo Drama, 1924. 55 min. D: Ford Beebe. SC: Frances Beebe and Ford Beebe. With Leo Maloney, Josephine Hill, Leonard Clapham (Tom London), Jim Corey, Earl Close, Whitehorse, Bullet (dog). A ranger, who refuses to pursue charges against his girl's brother, is dismissed from the service but tries to find out who really pulled off a robbery for which the young man blamed.

D: R.G. Springsteen. SC: Richard Wormser.

Stanford Jolley, Al Ferguson, Iron Eyes Cody. A Mounted Policeman learns that supposed Indian attacks are being carried out by white men led by a renegade in cahoots with a corrupt medicine man. Standard Columbia cliffhanger.\n\n**3068** _ **Perils of the Wilderness**_ **** Columbia, 1956. 15 Chapters. D: Spencer Gordon Bennet. SC: George H. Plympton. With Dennis Moore, Richard Emory, Eve Anderson (Evelyn Finley), Kenneth MacDonald, Rick Vallin, John Elliott, Don C. Harvey, Terry Frost, Al Ferguson, Bud Osborne, Rex Lease, Pierce Lyden, John Mitchum, Lee Roberts, Stanley Price, Kermit Maynard, John Hart, Frank Lackteen, I. Stanford Jolley, Robert Bice, Jack Ingram, Wally West, Dan White, Ed Coch. A man poses as an outlaw to capture a ruthless crime baron in the Canadian north country and is helped by a Royal Canadian Mounted policeman and a pretty girl. The penultimate serial is a sadly cheap affair with an unbelievable plot; interpolates footage from _**The Mysterious Pilot**_ (1937) and _**Perils of the Royal Mounted**_ (q.v.).\n\n**3069** _ **The Persuader**_ **** Allied Artists, 1957. 72 min.

With Leslie Howard, Bette Davis, Genevieve Tobin, Dick Foran, Humphrey Bogart, Joseph Sawyer, Porter Hall, Charley Grapewin, Paul Harvey, Eddie Acuff, Adrian Morris, Nina Campana, Slim Thompson, John Alexander, Addison Richards (voice). A diverse group of people are held prisoners at a desert way station by a fleeing hoodlum and his gang. Top notch screen adaptation of Robert Emmet Sherwood's play; a gangster drama in a modern Western setting.\n\n**Humphrey Bogart, Leslie Howard and Bette Davis in** _**The Petrified Forest**_ **(Warner Bros., 1936).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**3072** _ **The Phantom Bullet**_ **** Universal, 1926. 57 min.

A cowboy and his pal join forces with a prospector, really a masked highwayman, in trying to discover who is out to steal the man's mining claim. Appallingly bad poverty row affair that has star Ted Wells equally inept in dual roles.\n\n**3074** _ **The Phantom Cowboy**_ **** Republic, 1941. 56 min. D: George Sherman. SC: Doris Schroeder. With Don \"Red\" Barry, Virginia Carroll, Milburn Stone, Neyle Marx, Rex Lease, Nick Thompson, Bud Osborne, Ernest Wilson, Burr Caruth, Frank Ellis, Art Dillard, Jack O'Shea, Chuck Baldra, Leander De Cordova, Matty Roubert, Jim Corey, Hank Patterson, Hank Bell. When a rancher is murdered and his niece is cheated out of her inheritance, a cowboy becomes a masked avenger to restore her property. Star Don Barry and director George Sherman do their best in the confines of a script that lacks action.\n**3075** _ **The Phantom Empire**_ **** Mascot, 1935. 12 Chapters. D: Otto Brower and B. Reeves Eason. SC: John Rathmell, Armand L. Schaefer, Wallace MacDonald, Gerald Geraghty and Hy Freedman. With Gene Autry, Frankie Darro, Betsy King Ross, Dorothy Christy, Wheeler Oakman, Charles K.

Crooks are after a valuable mineral deposit on a radio singer's ranch and while fighting them he and his two juvenile pals find a secret underground civilization. Gene Autry's first starring film is a flavorful combination of the Western and sci-fi genres; later released in feature versions as _**Men with Steel Faces**_ and _**Radio Ranch**_.\n\n**3076** _ **The Phantom Flyer**_ **** Universal, 1928. 45 min. D: Bruce Mitchell. SC: Bruce Mitchell and Gardner Bradford. With Al Wilson, Lillian Gilmore, Buck Connors, Billy \"Red\" Jones, Don Fuller, Myrtis Crinley, Mary Cornwallis, Larry Steers. A homesteader and his family find themselves at odds with a female cattle rancher after their water rights. Colorful silent action feature with lots of exciting aerial footage of star Al Wilson, here playing a border patrol aviator. Also called _**The Phantom Ranger**_.\n\n**3077** _ **Phantom Gold**_ **** Columbia, 1938. 56 min. D: Joseph Lovering. SC: Nate Gatzert. With Jack Luden, Beth Marion, Barry Downing, Slim Whitaker, Hal Taliaferro, Art Davis, Jack Ingram, Marin Sais, Buzz Barton, Jimmy Robinson, Forrest Taylor, Jack Rockwell, Harry Harvey, Charles King, George Morrell, Jack O'Shea, Tex Palmer, Tuffy (dog). Outlaws plan a gold rush by salting an old mine but are opposed by a cowboy, his two buddies and the young boy and dog they rescued. Jack Luden's final series film is mediocre at best.\n\n**3078** _ **The Phantom of Santa Fe**_ **** Burroughs-Tarzan Enterprises, 1936. 87 min. Color. D: Jacques Jaccard. SC: Charles F. Royal. With Norman Kerry, Nina Quartero, Frank Mayo, Monte Montague, Tom O'Brien, Carmelita Geraghty, Jack Mower, Frank Ellis, Merrill McCormick, Fernando Valdez. A man pretends to be a coward to disguise himself as the \"Hawk,\" a masked avenger opposed to a crook and his gang who have stolen a treasure. Made in 1931 as _**The Hawk**_ , this feature was re-recorded and re-edited before receiving theatrical release five years later; pretty poor stuff.\n\n**3079** _ **The Phantom of the Desert**_ **** Syndicate, 1930. 55 min. D: Harry S. Webb. SC: Carl Krusada. With Jack Perrin, Eva Novak, Josef Swickard, Lila Eccles, Ben Corbett, Edward Earle, Robert Walker, Pete Morrison. Two cowpokes go to work for a rancher whose horses are supposedly being rustled by a wild stallion and one of them tries to get to the bottom of the trouble.

When the Duchess falls in love with an Englishman, Red Ryder does not trust the man and finds out he is a wife murderer.

A lawman seeks revenge against a land baron who ordered the murder of his wife and son so he could get his family's land.

SC: Jonathan Latimer. With Glenn Ford, Diana Lynn, Patricia Medina, Francis L. Sullivan, Sean McClory, Eduardo Noriega, Julio Villareal, Charles Rooner, Douglass Dumbrille, Mona Barrie, Carlos Muzquiz, Juan Garcia, Margarito Luna, Victorio Blanco. An expedition in Mexico sets out to find Aztec treasure.

A town boss wants to run settlers out of the area and hires a notorious gunman to do his bidding, but one of the intended victims is a young man out to kill the gunslinger for murdering his father. Mediocre production greatly helped by fine performances, especially Edmund Lowe as an aged shootist and Corinne Calvet as a woman with a past; Republic Pictures final production.\n\n**3135** _ **The Pocatello Kid**_ **** Tiffany, 1931. 61min.

Falsely thinking he is responsible for the death of his dishonest lawman brother, a cowboy takes his place and plans to stop a rustling gang.

With Paul Newman, Lee Marvin, Strother Martin, Christine Belford, Kelly Jean Peters, Fred Graham, Wayne Rogers, Hector Elizondo, Mickey Gilbert, Gregg Sierra, Matt Clark, Claudio Miranda, Richard Farnsworth, Ken Freehill, Bruce Davis Bayne, Terry Malick. A down-on-his-luck cowpoke heads to Mexico to buy cattle from a crooked dealer and enlists the help of a shiftless pal in getting the goods on the man. Poor genre \"comedy\" somewhat saved by Lee Marvin's mugging.\n\n**Paul Newman in** _**Pocket Money**_ **(National General, 1972).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**3137** _ **Poco**_ **** Cinema Shares, 1977. 88 min.

Hannah, Henry Max Kendrick, Stephen Jace Kent, Gloria Manon, John Pearce, Caroline Reed, Bob Shelton. A beautiful woman gambler outwits a variety of male gamers before finding true love with a bounty hunter.

A Pony Express operator runs into opposition from outlaws and Indians when he tries to open a relay station in an isolated valley.

With Allan \"Rocky\" Lane, Eddy Waller, Gerry Ganzer, Roy Barcroft, Bud Geary, Cliff Clark, Francis McDonald, Douglas Evans, Bruce Edwards, Stanley Blystone, Eddie Parker, Herman Hack. A government agent investigates a scheme to bilk locals through a bridge building contract.

When their pal is framed on a murder charge by a crook and his lawman cohort, three cowboys come to his defense but are forced to go up against a notorious hired gunman. Slick, well acted and produced version of William Colt MacDonald's novel, this initial film to include all \"Three Mesquiteers\" is a who's who of genre stars; well worth viewing.\n\n**Guinn Williams, Buzz Barton, Hoot Gibson, Art Mix and Harry Carey in** _**Powdersmoke Range**_ **(RKO Radio, 1935).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n_**Power of Justice**_ see _**Beyond the Sacramento**_\n\n_**Power of Possession**_ see _**Lawless Empire**_\n\n**3154** _ **The Prairie**_ **** Screen Guild, 1947. 80 min.

Two cowpokes get involved with a man who has just inherited a ranch. Last of the trio of mediocre featurettes Hal Roach produced with Noah Beery, Jr., and Jimmy Rogers (Will's son); the highlight is Jack Norton's usual tipsy portrayal of the rancher.\n\n**3157** _ **Prairie Express**_ **** Monogram, 1947. 60 min.

A one time lawman, now a drunk, agrees to take three unstable mail order brides to Carson City and he joins forces with a female crook when one of the women's mean minded husbands pursues them. The title refers to mental illness in this okay video Western.\n\n**3159** _ **Prairie Gunsmoke**_ **** Columbia, 1942. 56 min. D: Lambert Hillyer. SC: Fred Myton.

Crooks bring settlers to range land with false promises of plenty of water but the scheme is soon opposed by a cattleman who wants to help the homesteaders.

An undercover agent pretends to be an escaped convict to get the goods on a gang after a tract of valuable land. A rather complicated plot does not hurt the overall entertainment value of this pleasant Lone Star Western from producer Paul Malvern that contains a terrific finale shootout.\n\n**3243** _ **Rainbow's End**_ **** First Division, 1935. 59 min.

In Texas ranger Roy Rogers fights outlaws trying to hijack settler's wagons so they can take over the country, until General Sam Houston comes to the rescue.

An undercover agent joins a medicine show that outlaws have been using as a front for their illegal activities, a fact not known by its proprietor.

A beautiful woman, taken by the first man who claims her in Oregon in the 1840s, finds herself attracted to a another out to kill her husband in revenge for his brother's murder.

Neville. With Tom Keene, Peggy Keys, Budd Buster, Robert Fiske, Lee Phelps, John Rutherford, Rafael (Ray) Bennett, Slim Whitaker, Bart Carre, Dorothy Vernon, Fred Parker.

Baseball star Lou Gehrig finds crooks are trying to steal his sister's ranch so he teams with her lawyer to stop them.

A cowboy gets involved with a pretty girl and her parents at a rustic guest ranch plagued by a robbery gang.

With Art Mix, William Desmond, Edmund Cobb, William Barrymore (Boris Bullock), Frances Morris, Bill Patton, Tommy Bupp, Herman Hack, George Holt, George Gyton, Ed Carey, Ernest Scott, Fred Parker, Clyde McClary, Joe Weaver, Denver Dixon. A lawman is on the trail of a sadistic, demented outlaw who is really his orphaned brother. This Victor Adamson (Denver Dixon) production has to be seen to be believed; it is a shoddy vintage horror Western and a treat for grade-Z movie followers. Their fans will appreciate seeing three genre greats, Art Mix, William Desmond and Edmund Cobb, in the starring roles, and Boris Bullock's madman predates the 1970s superhuman horror film fiends.\n\n**3294** _ **The Rawhide Trail**_ **** Allied Artists, 1958. 67 min. D: Robert Gordon. SC: Alexander Wells.

Stanford Jolley, Rex Lease, Chuck Roberson, Marlene Felton, Clarence Lung, Lane Bradford. A reformed gambler in the 1870s is falsely accused of a riverboat murder.

During the Civil War a Union officer and seven prisoners try to capture a fort held by Confederates. Violent European co-production that must depend on the name value of its stars rather than any innate quality; released in Europe in 1972.

Carrol Naish, Ben Cooper, John Smith, James Griffith, Mary Adams, Bobby Clark, Mimi Gibson, Ben Johnson, Joel Ashley, Jack Perrin, Kermit Maynard, Sterling Franck. Returning home from the Civil War with his father and brothers, an ex-soldier accidentally kills a small boy but ends up having his life saved by the victim's father. A different kind of plot for this type of fare; above average.\n\n**3300** _ **Rebellion**_ **** Crescent, 1936. 62 min. D: Lynn Shores. SC: John T. Neville. With Tom Keene, Rita (Hayworth) Cansino, Duncan Renaldo, William Royle, Gino Corrado, Roger Gray, Bob McKenzie, Allen Cavan, Jack Ingram, Lita Cortez, Theodore Lorch, M.W.

A ranger investigates his brother's killing that was carried out by a gang under the control of a crook who wants to run off all sheep men so he can use government grazing lands for his cattle.

During the Civil War a raw recruit panics during his first battlefield encounter but later garners the courage to fight and become a hero. John Huston's truncated version of the Stephen Crane novel is fairly interesting, especially for showing the effects of battle on individuals; look for Andy Devine's dynamic cameo as the optimistic soldier.\n\n**3306** _ **The Red Badge of Courage**_ **** NBC-TV\/20th Century\u2013Fox, 1974. 78 min.

McGowan, Frances Kellogg, Walter Patterson, Lem Sowards. A cowboy, who is always in trouble, loves the boss' daughter who is also sought by a crooked gambler blackmailing her brother. Although it contains lots of fights, this Al Hoxie silent horse opera is pretty dull going.\n\n**3308** _ **Red Blood of Courage**_ **** Ambassador, 1935. 55 min. D: Jack (John) English. SC: Barry Barringer. With Kermit Maynard, Ann Sheridan, Reginald Barlow, Charles King, Ben Hendricks, Jr., George Regas, Nat Carr, Milburn Morante, Art Dillard, Carl Mathews. A Mountie uncovers a plot with crooks kidnapping a man for his land while one of them impersonates him to fool his visiting niece.

Two siblings, along with three friends, return to a Western town where they survived a brutal attack and learn a terrible truth. Better than average modern-day horror Western.\n\n**3312** _ **Red Desert**_ **** Lippert, 1949. 60 min. D: Ford Beebe. SC: Daniel B. Ullman and Ron Ormond. With Don Barry, Tom Neal, Jack Holt, Margia Dean, Byron Foulger, Joseph Crehan, John Cason, Tom London, Holly Bane, Hank Bell, George Slocum, Reed Hadley (narrator). Two gambling house operators use their business as a front for the sale of stolen government money and President Grant assigns the Pecos Kid to uncover the culprits.

A man returns home to find his family in disorder because their homestead is being claimed by an Indian tribe.

After his family is brutalized and murdered by outlaws, a rancher teams with a mysterious gunman to track them down.

A title Englishman, who became a Sioux after many trials, returns to the tribe to help them in their struggle against whites.

Morton, Sherry Hall, Edmund Elton, Hattie Noel, Tex Phelps, Kermit Maynard, A.S. Byron, Bob Battier. When a judge sets Bob Ford free on the charge of murdering Jesse James, the victim's brother Frank vows revenge. Not much history but lots of entertainment in this follow-up to _**Jesse James**_ (q.v.), which contains footage of Tyrone Power from it; John Carradine makes the film as the cowardly villain Bob Ford.\n\n**3375** _ **The Return of Grey Wolf**_ **** Ambassador, 1925. 60 min.

Three medicine show entertainers find a young couple murdered and rescue their baby, the culprit being a doctor after the victim's oil rich property.

Outlaws hold a woman prisoner at her ranch as a lawman pretends to be a wanted criminal to gain access to the place and save her.

Rock bottom, but fun, Victor Adamson (Denver Dixon) production, written by Mrs. Adamson.

When two cowpokes save a man's life and find half of a treasure map tattooed on his back, the trio try to locate the lawman with the rest of the drawing.

A sheriff, aided only by four others, tries to keep a murderer in jail while the prisoner's powerful rancher brother and his hired guns plan to break him out.

Corrupt politicians fail to pass a flood control bill and a deluge causes great damage to farm land with singer Gene Autry being elected to Congress to get the legislation pushed into law.

Members of a Wild West show become palace guards for a Balkan boy king and help him put down a revolt. Ken Maynard silent (a version was issued with music and sound effects) with a Graustarkian background finds the star a bit out of place although the action is plentiful.\n\n**3632** _ **Ruby Jean and Joe**_ **** Showtime, 1996. 99 min.

An uncouth Western family wins a debonair British butler in a poker game and he makes a big change in their lives. Very pleasant comedy; Charles Laughton is grand in the title role.

In 1781 frontier Georgia, a doctor, managing his late friend's estate, uncovers piracy and battles the plague.

Red Ryder uncovers an outlaw gang when he comes to the aid of a rancher falsely accused of a crime.

With Roy Rogers, George \"Gabby\" Hayes, Elyse Knox, Addison Richards, Sally Payne, Harry Woods, Hal Taliaferro, Jay Novello, Roy Barcroft, Jack Rockwell, Zeffie Tilbury, Jack Ingram, George Rosenor, Jack Kirk, Frank Ellis, Art Dillard, Herman Hack, Vester Pegg, Al Haskell, Ray Jones, Jess Cavin, Chuck Baldra, Oscar Gahan, Bob Reeves, Jim Corey, Fred Burns, Al Taylor. Crooked businessmen hire a tough cowpoke to be Tombstone's lawman but he turns on them when they try to cheat an old lady and her family out of their mine.

A sheriff agrees to help a young woman find out who murdered her father. Too much obvious indoor for outdoor scenery but still a fair Allan Lane film with a good mystery flavor.\n\n**3829** _ **The Sheriff Was a Lady**_ **** Arthur Brauner, 1965. 88 min. Color. D: Sobey Martin (Carlo Croccolo). SC: Gustav Kampendonk. With Freddy Quinn, Mamie Van Doren, Rik Battalgia, Carlo Croccolo, Otto Waldis, Klaus Dahlen, Beba Lancar, Trude Herr. Pretending to be a greenhorn, a cowboy hunts the gang who murdered his parents and enlists the assist of a pretty saloon hostess. West German vehicle for popular singer Freddy Quinn with stateside appeal via co-star Mamie Van Doren; okay dubbed oater. West German title: _**Freddy und das Lied per Prarie**_ (Freddy and the Song of the Prairie), released there by CCC Filmkunst\/Avala-Film.\n\n**3830** _ **Sheriff with the Gold**_ **** Fono Roma, 1966. 89 min.

A crooked lawman robs a gold shipment but it is stolen by a beautiful woman who then loses it to outlaws, with the marshal changing his ways and helping her. There is not much to recommend this Italian-Spanish co-production originally called _**Uno Sceriffo Tutto d'Oro**_ (The Sheriff with All the Gold). Don Powell sings the title song.\n\n**3831** _ **Sheriff Won't Shoot**_ **** Hispamer, 1965. 85 min. Color. D: J. Luis Monter. SC: Robert Montero and Franco Verucci. With Mickey Hargitay, Pilar Clemens, Vincent Cashino, Alche Nana, Dan Clark, Manuel Zarzo Nana, Angel Ter, Sancho Garcia.

As a lawman corners an outlaw gang in remote town, a man with enormous powers arrives and the sheriff must joins forces with his enemies to combat the stranger.

Carpenter, Blackjack Ward, Bill Nestell, Dan White, George Plues, Al Taylor, Tom Smith, Rose Plummer, Herman Hack, Frank McCarroll, George DeNormand, Jim Corey, Eva McKenzie, Bob Card, Chick Hannon, Roy Bucko, Charls Hogg. An outlaw tries to convince his former partner to join him in a cattle rustling scheme and when he refuses the crook frames him for the crimes he committed. Too many novelty tunes bog down this outing which fortunately is dominated by Willliam Farnum, as the ex-outlaw turned rancher, and Stanley Andrews as the villain.\n\n**3835** _ **Shipwreck!**_ **** Pacific International, 1979. 102 min. Color. D-SC: Stewart Raffill. With Robert Logan, Heather Rattray, Shannon Saylor, Mikki-Jamison Olsen, Cjon Damitri Patterson.

After six years in prison a man seeks revenge on the now prosperous partner who betrayed him and along the way he is adopted by a small girl. Interesting premise goes awry due to lack of action; remake of _**Lone Cowboy**_.\n\n**3838** _ **Shoot Out at Big Sag**_ **** Parallel, 1962. 64 min. D-SC: Roger Kay. With Walter Brennan, Leif Erickson, Luana Patten, Chris Robinson, Constance Ford, Virginia Gregg, Les Tremayne, Don O'Kelly, Andy Brennan, William Foster, Robert Beecher, Lennie Geer. In a remote Montana area a cowardly preacher tries to run off a recently settled Texan and his son. Okay film that was the pilot for the unsold TV series \"Barbed Wire\" and based on the 1931 Walt Coburn novel of the same title.\n\n**3839** _ **Shoot-Out at Medicine Bend**_ **** Warner Bros., 1957. 87 min.

Three men, whose families were massacred by Indians due to faulty ammunition, set out to get revenge on the trader who sold them the defective merchandise. Fairly good horse opera but not up to Randolph Scott's usual 1950s fare.\n\n**3840** _ **Shoot Out in a One Dog Town**_ **** ABC-TV, 1974. 74 min. Color. D: Burt Kennedy. SC: Larry Cohen and Dick Nelson.

A stranger agrees to lead an outlaw gang into Mexico to escape Texas Rangers but he demands the gold they stole. This character oriented Italian oater is pretty good, released there as _**Prega il Morto e Ammazza il Vivo**_ (Pray for the Dead and Kill the Living); also called _**Pray to Kill and Return Alive**_ and _**Renegade Gun**_.\n\n**3842** _ **Shoot the Sun Down**_ **** JAD Films International, 1981. 93 min. Color. D: David Leeds. SC: Richard Rothstein and David Leeds. With Margot Kidder, Christopher Walken, Geoffrey Lewis, Bo Brundin, A. Martinez, Sacheen Littlefeather. In 1836 a gunman joins a bounty hunter and a retired sea captain in searching for lost gold and he falls in love with the old salt's pretty indentured girl. Slow moving, uninteresting and rather pointless effort.\n\n**3843** _ **The Shooter**_ **** Royal Oaks Entertainment, 1997. 91 min. Color. D: Fred Olen Ray. SC: Tony Giglio. With Michael Dudikoff, Randy Travis, Valerie Wildman, Andrew Stevens, William Smith, Eric Lawson, Robert Donovan, Carl Bartlett, Hoke Howell, Libby George, Matt Anderson, Peter Sherayko, William L.

After being beaten and left for dead, a gunfighter is saved by a hooker and they find themselves up against a corrupt family's hired gun.

D-SC: Robert J. Horner. With Jack Perrin, Peggy O'Day, Bud Osborne, Alfred Hewston, S.J. Bingham, Horace B. Carpenter, Milburn Morante, David Dunbar, Harry Pringle, Martin Turner, Starlight (horse). A crooked foreman, wanted for murder, is at odds with a cowboy over the affections of the ranch owner's lovely daughter. The lightheartedness of this otherwise competent Jack Perrin silent film is somewhat hurt by a complicated plot.\n\n**3845** _ **The Shooting**_ **** Jack H. Harris, 1971. 82 min. Color. D: Monte Hellman. SC: Adrien Joyce. With Jack Nicholson, Millie Perkins, Warren Oates, Will Hutchins, B.J. Merholz, Charles Eastman, Guy El Tsosie. A woman persuades two miners to be her guides on a journey that leads to revenge. Passable feature that, like _**Ride in the Whirlwind**_ (q.v.), was given TV release before making it to theatres.\n\n**3846** _ **Shooting High**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1940. 65 min.

Burns, Georgia Simmons. The grandson of a famous outlaw plays the part of his grandfather in a movie and ends up winning the girl he loves and capturing bank robbers. Gene Autry's loan out to 20th Century\u2013Fox for teaming with moppet Jane Withers results in an uneven film.\n\n**3847** _ **The Shootist**_ **** Paramount, 1976. 100 min. Color. D: Don Siegel. SC: Miles Hood Swarthout and Scott Hale. With John Wayne, Lauren Bacall, James Stewart, Ron Howard, Harry Morgan, Richard Boone, John Carradine, Hugh O'Brian, Sheree North, Richard Lenz, Scatman Crothers, Bill McKinney, Gregg Palmer, Alfred Dennis, Dick Winslow, Melody Thomas, Kathleen O'Malley. At the turn of the century, a famous gunfighter with terminal cancer finds his reputation getting in the way of his wish to die peacefully. The best Western of the 1970s and an all time genre classic; had the political climate of Hollywood not been so hostile, John Wayne would have won a second Oscar for this film, as it was he was not even nominated.\n\n**John Wayne in** _**The Shootist**_ **(Paramount, 1976).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n_**The Short and Happy Life of the Brothers Blue**_ see _**Brothers Blue**_\n\n**3848** _ **Short Grass**_ **** Allied Artists, 1950. 82 min.

Lewis, Lee Tung Foo, Lee Roberts, Frank Ellis, Tom Monroe, Kermit Maynard. A sheriff joins forces with a rancher to stop a crooked land scheme. A good script, direction and cast add up to a very fine little oater.\n\n**3849** _ **Shotgun**_ **** Allied Artists, 1955. 80 min. Color. D: Lesley Selander. SC: John Champion, Clark E. Reynolds and Rory Calhoun.

Griffin, Al Wyatt, Bob Morgan, Peter Coe, Charles Morton, James Parnell, Richard Cutting, Fiona Hale, Francis McDonald. A showgirl joins a sheriff and a bounty hunter to track a killer only to find themselves stalked by Apaches. Co-writer Rory Calhoun was originally scheduled to star in this minor oater, best recommended for Yvonne De Carlo's bathing sequence.\n\n**3850** _ **Shotgun Pass**_ **** Columbia, 1931. 60 min. D: J.P. McGowan. SC: Robert Quigley. With Tim McCoy, Virginia Lee Corbin, Frank Rice, Dick Stewart, Joe Marba, Monty Vandergrift, Ben Corbett, Albert J. Smith, Archie Ricks. Two dishonest brothers own a pass and refuse to let a cowboy, with an Army contract, lead a herd of horses through it and trouble follows, including murder. There is enough action in this Tim McCoy film to delight his fans.\n\n_**Shots Ring Out!**_ see _**Four Bullets for Joe**_\n\n**3851** _ **The Showdown**_ **** Paramount, 1940. 65 min.

Hoppy and Lucy are at odds when the latter sides with a woman ranch owner while Cassidy believes a fake European baron plans to rustle her cattle. Average \"Hopalong Cassidy\" feature without much action until the finale.\n\n**3852** _ **The Showdown**_ **** Republic, 1950. 86 min. D-SC: Dorrell McGowan and Stuart McGowan.

A magazine editor is tipped off to the fake account of a famous gunfight and during the investigation, in flashbacks, returns to the Old West. Originally a segment of \"The Name of the Game\" (NBC-TV, 1968\u201371), this telefilm is for avid fans of the series.\n\n**3855** _ **Showdown**_ **** Universal, 1973. 90 min. Color.

Mead, Rita Rogers, Vic Mohica, Raleigh Gardenhire, Ed Begley, Jr., Dan Boydston. Two men who once loved the same woman find themselves at odds again when one of them, a lawman, hunts the other, an outlaw. Fair teaming of Dean Martin and Rock Hudson makes for an okay time passer.\n\n**3856** _ **Showdown at Abilene**_ **** Universal-International, 1956. 80 min. Color. D: Charles Haas. SC: Bernie Giler.

A bounty hunter arrives in town, kills a wanted man and faces the wrath of its citizens, while falling in love with a shy young woman.

After the Civil War two con men out West try to collect a bounty on an outlaw.

The state agricultural commission sends inspector Gene Autry to a devil weed infested area to study the problem but he meets opposition from the head of the local cattlemen's association.

James, Pat Carson, Harvey Clark. A cowboy crooner becomes the guardian of a girl, who needs an operation, after her mine owner father is murdered and he tries to raise the money. Fine interpolation of music, story and action make this Gene Autry film a good one.\n\n**3920** _ **The Singing Cowgirl**_ **** Grand National, 1939. 59 min. D: Samuel Diege. SC: Arthur Hoerl. With Dorothy Page, Dave O'Brien, Vince Barnett, Ed Peil, Sr., Dix Davis, Stanley Price, Warner Richmond, Dorothy Short, Paul Barrett, Lloyd Ingraham, Ethan Allen, Eddie Gordon, Merrill McCormick, Leonard Trainor. A woman rancher takes in a boy who parents were killed by rustlers and she sets out to help round up the gang. This third, and last, musical Western starring Dorothy Page is average.\n\n**3921** _ **Singing Guns**_ **** Republic, 1950. 91 min. Color. D: R.G. Springsteen. SC: Dorrell McGowan and Stuart McGowan. With Vaughn Monroe, Ella Raines, Walter Brennan, Ward Bond, Jeff Corey, Barry Kelley, Harry Shannon, Tom Fadden, Ralph Dunn, Rex Lease, Mary Baer, Jimmie Dodd, Denver Pyle, John Doucette, Richard Emory, George Chandler, Billy Gray, Mary Eleanor (Elinor) Donahue, Douglas Hughes, Stanley Blystone, Wallace Scott, Roy Barcroft (voice). A notorious outlaw saves the life of the lawman tracking him and with a new identity becomes the sheriff of a small town.

D: Lew Landers. SC: Olive Cooper. With Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Virginia Dale, Mary Lee, Spencer Charters, Gerald Oliver Smith, George Meeker, Wade Boteler, Harry Stubbs, Cactus Mack, Jack Kirk, Chuck Morrison, Monte Montague, Hal Price, Fred Burns, Herman Hack, Jack O'Shea, Frankie Marvin, Forrest Taylor, Dan White.

The Hoosier Hot Shots are cheated out of a ranch by a crook and two cowboys come to their rescue. Another featherweight Western musical comedy from Columbia's \"B\" unit.\n\n**3924** _ **The Singing Outlaw**_ **** Universal, 1938. 56 min. D: Joseph H. Lewis. SC: Harry O. Hoyt. With Bob Baker, Joan Barclay, Fuzzy Knight, Carl Stockdale, Harry Woods, LeRoy Mason, Ralph Lewis, Glenn Strange, Georgia O'Dell, Jack Rockwell, Ed Peil, Sr., Jack Kirk, Bob McKenzie, Budd Buster, Lafe McKee, Hank Worden, Art Mix, Chick Hannon, Herman Hack, Jack Montgomery, Curley Gibson, Francis Walker. In order to find out who killed a U.S. marshal, a cowboy takes on his identity and goes after a rustling gang. Despite a fine supporting cast, this Bob Baker musical outing is sub-standard.\n\n**3925** _ **The Singing Sheriff**_ **** Universal, 1944. 60 min. D: Leslie Goodwins. SC: Henry Blankfort and Eugene Conrad. With Bob Crosby, Fay McKenzie, Fuzzy Knight, Iris Adrian, Samuel S. Hinds, Edward Norris, Andrew Tombes, Joseph Sawyer, Walter Sande, Doodles Weaver, Jean Trent, Donald Kerr, Pat Starling, Louis Da Pron, Spade Cooley and Orchestra.

June Thompson, Janice Thompson, Marion O'Connell. A young woman, who has run away from home to join a traveling show, is rescued by a cavalry captain when her wagon train is attacked. Okay Gene Autry outing, with more music than action.\n\n**3927** _ **Single Handed Sanders**_ **** Monogram, 1932. 61 min. D: Lloyd Nosler. SC: Charles A. Post. With Tom Tyler, Margaret Morris, Loie Bridge, Robert Manning, G.D.

Smith, Rose Plummer, S.S. Simon. A blacksmith, whose brother is a crook, tries to save his girl and their town from a gang led by a senator. Poorly made, creaky Tom Tyler feature.\n\n_**Single Shot Poker**_ see _**The Heart of Texas Ryan**_\n\n**3928** _ **Sinister Journey**_ **** United Artists, 1948. 59 min. D: George Archainbaud. SC: Doris Schroeder.

The Bar 20 trio tries to help a man clear himself of murder charge and get him reunited with his girl friend. Mild \"Hopalong Cassidy\" film that plays better as a truncated segment of the Hoppy TV series.\n\n**3929** _ **Sioux City Sue**_ **** Republic, 1946. 68 min. D: Frank McDonald. SC: Olive Cooper. With Gene Autry, Lynne Roberts, Sterling Holloway, The Cass County Boys Jerry Scoggins, Bert Dodson, Fred Martin), Richard Lane, Ralph Sanford, Ken Lundy, Helen Wallace, Pierre Watkin, Edwin Wills, Minerva Urecal, Frank Marlowe, LeRoy Mason, Kenne Duncan, Harry V. Cheshire, George Carleton, Sam Flint, Tex Terry, Tristram Coffin, Frankie Marvin. In order to pay off debts and save his ranch, a singing cowboy is persuaded by a pretty talent scout to make a movie only to find out his voice is used in an animated feature for a donkey. Gene Autry's first feature after World War II service is a pleasant affair, although more for comedy and music than traditional genre values.\n\n**3930** _ **Siringo**_ **** Rysher Entertainment, 1994. 90 min. Color. D: Kevin G. Cremin. SC: Peter A. Kinloch. With Brad Johnson, Chad Lowe, Stephen Macht, Keith Szarabajka, Floyd \"Red Crow\" Westerman, William Sanderson, George Aguilar, Maggie Baird, Michael Horton, Apesanahkwat, Barry Corbin, Crystal Bernard, Jerry Wayne Bernard, Roger Rook, Logan Senn, Sonny Skyhawk, Thomas Sminkey, Brigitta Stenberg, Patricia Van Ingen. A lawman, his rookie deputy and a former hooker team to bring in an escaped convict who has committed armed robbery.

With Dale Robertson, Mary Murphy, J.

A pro\u2013Indian soldier is falsely accused of helping Chief Sitting Bull at the time of the Custer massacre. Silly, boring and over long, this pseudo-historical piece is notable only for J. Carrol Naish's fine performance in the title role.\n\n**3932** _ **Sitting Bull at the Spirit Lake Massacre**_ **** Sunset, 1927. 72 min. D: Robert North Bradbury. SC: Ben Allah. With Bryant Washburn, Ann Schaeffer, Jay Morley, Shirley Palmer, Thomas Lingham, Chief Yowlachie, James O'Neil, Bob (Steele) Bradbury, Jr., Fred Warren, Leon Kent, Lucille Ballart. A scout falls for a pretty girl but their romance is interrupted by an Indian uprising led by Chief Sitting Bull. Pretty good low budget affair, from producer Anthony J.

A woman hires two men to lead her through Indian territory as she plans to kill one of them, a gunman who murdered her husband.

An aging bounty hunter, needing money to save his ranch, goes after the killer of three cowboys.

A young man, whose brother has been kidnapped by gold thieves, tries to find him and get to the bottom of the robberies. Interesting Tim Holt vehicle.\n\n**3938** _ **Six Gun Gospel**_ **** Monogram, 1943. 55 min. D: Lambert Hillyer. SC: Jess Bowers (Adele Buffington) and Ed Earl Repp. With Johnny Mack Brown, Raymond Hatton, Inna Gest, Kenneth MacDonald, Roy Barcroft, Edmund Cobb, Mary MacLaren, Isabel Withers, Eddie Dew, Bud Osborne, Milburn Morante, Artie Ortego, Lynton Brent, Kernan Cripps, Tom London, Lew Porter, Jack Evans, Chick Hannon, Lew Morphy, Jack Daley, Rube Dalroy, Jack Tornek. Two lawmen, one masquerading as a preacher, try to find out who is behind the hijacking of gold shipments.

With Bill Cody, Ethel Jackson, Wally Wales, Budd Buster, Donald Reed, Roger Williams, Frank Moran, Ace Cain, Bert Young, Buck Morgan, Jimmy Aubrey, Blackie Whiteford, Bud Pope. A U.S. marshal is injured trying to help a former outlaw who has double crossed his gang and plans to return the money they stole.

A rancher is falsely accused of murdering the local sheriff and forced to sign a confession by the gang leader who makes him the new sheriff, thinking he can control him, not realizing the accused is the Durango Kid. Fair series outing.\n\n**3941** _ **Six-Gun Law**_ **** Buena Vista, 1963. 78 min. Color. D: Christian Nyby. SC: Maurice Tombragel. With Robert Loggia, James Dunn, Lynn Bari, Annette (Funicello), Jay C. Flippen, Patric Knowles, Audrey Dalton, James Drury, Kenneth Tobey, R.G. Armstrong, Grant Withers, Edward Colmans. When a notorious rustler is murdered an English rancher is charged with the shooting. Entertaining affair issued in Europe theatrically; originally a segment of Walt Disney's show on ABC-TV, telecast February 6, 1959, as \"Attorney at Law\" in \"The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca\" mini-series.\n\n**3942** _ **Six Gun Man**_ **** Producers Releasing Corporation, 1946. 59 min.

Stanford Jolley, Budd Buster, Roy Brent, Jimmie Martin, Stanley Blystone, Steve Clark, Dorothy Whitmore, Ray Jones, Jimmy Aubrey, Buck Morgan. Rustlers are terrorizing the citizens of a small town and two U.S. marshals try to stop them.

A town boss tries to blame the foreman of a cattle herd for the murder of his wranglers but a lawman suspects the plot.

SC: Fred Myton.

Smith. A singing football player returns home to Texas to find his sheriff father missing and the area infested with outlaws. Tex Fletcher's only oater is a fairly pleasant affair except for an obtrusive canned music track although the star does warble several tunes, including \"Git Along Little Doggies\" and \"Lonesome Cowboy.\"\n\n**3945** _ **Six Gun Serenade**_ **** Monogram, 1947. 55 min. D: Ford Beebe. SC: Bennett Cohen. With Jimmy Wakely, Lee \"Lasses\" White, Jimmie Martin, Kay Morley, Steve Clark, Pierce Lyden, Bud Osborne, Chick Hannon, Cactus Mack, Ray Jones. Ranchers get a group of cowboys out of jail in order to stop a gang of cattle thieves. Good direction and script lift this Jimmy Wakely vehicle a bit above the usual for the singing star.\n\n**3946** _ **Six Gun Trail**_ **** Victory, 1938. 59 min. D: Sam Newfield. SC: Joseph O'Donnell. With Tim McCoy, Nora Lane, Alden Chase, Ben Corbett, Karl Hackett, Donald Gallaher, Ted Adams, Kenne Duncan, Sherry Tansey, Bob Terry, Jimmy Aubrey, George Morrell, Frank Wayne, Hal Carey, Jack \"Tiny\" Lipson, Lew Porter, Ray Henderson, Herman Hack, James Sheridan (Sherry Tansey), Buck Morgan, Wally West, Oscar Gahan, Artie Ortego, Clyde McClary, Barney Beasley, Rube Dalroy. A Justice Department investigator, masquerading as a Chinese, heads to a small town to capture a gang trying to sell stolen gems.

Color. D: Shane Van Dyke. SC: Geoff Meed.

Remmel, Riley Polanski, Becky Byrum, Don Harrington, Rick Roat, Tom Troutman, Cathi Harrington, Cody Williams.

A quartet of men, all with pasts, unite to bring law and order to the town of Badland.

With Ken Maynard, Marjorie Reynolds, Warner Richmond, Jane Keckley, Bob Terry, Harry Harvey, Sr., Walter Long, Earl Dwire, Ben Corbett, Lafe McKee, Tom London, Richard Alexander, Glenn Strange, Roger Williams, Bud Osborne, Ed Peil, Sr., Milburn Morante, Carl Mathews, Richard Cramer, George Morrell, Jim Corey, Herb Holcombe, Buck Morgan, Jack Evans, Fred Parker, Bud Pope. An outlaw is accidentally made the town's sheriff and when his old gang arrives on the scene he tries to warn them away but when they pull a robbery he gets on their trail. Poor production values hurt this Ken Maynard film; hardly one of his better efforts.\n\n**3950** _ **Skin Game**_ **** Warner Bros., 1971. 102 min. Color. D: Paul Bogart. SC: Pierre Marton. With James Garner, Lou Gossett, Susan Clark, Brenda Sykes, Edward Asner, Andrew Duggan, Henry Jones, Neva Patterson, Parley Baer, George Tyne, Royal Dano, Pat O'Malley, Joel Fluellen, Napoleon Whiting, Juanita Moore, Cort Clark, Jim Boles, George Wallace, Robert Foulk, Bill Henry, Tom Monroe, Don Haggerty, Claude Stroud, Forrest Lewis, James McCallion, Dan Borgaze, Reg Parton, Bob Steele. Before the Civil War, two con men, one black and the other white, travel through the South with the latter \"selling\" the former and the two splitting the profits.

Looking into the disappearance of a plane carrying gold from a Yukon mine, two Canadian Mounties uncover crooks using a mysterious ray. The use of sci-fi makes this \"Renfrew of the Royal Mounted\" entry (the last in the series) interesting although its plot is similar to _**Yukon Flight**_ (q.v.).\n\n**3954** _ **Sky Full of Moon**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1952. 73 min. D-SC: Norman Foster.

Pat Collins, Cliff Clark, Chubby Johnson, Jean Ransome, Mitchell Lewis, Leon Alton, Joe Dominguez, Paul Kruger, Sheb Wooley (voice). A young rodeo cowboy falls for a jaded Las Vegas gambling house hostess. Okay modern-day comedy with only the second half taking place in the Nevada countryside; Rex Bell appears as himself and Sheb Wooley provides the signing voice of the Balladeer.\n\n**3955** _ **A Sky Full of Stars for a Roof**_ **** Documento Film, 1968. 100 min. Color. D: Giulio Petroni. SC: Alberto Areal and Franceso Martino. With Guiliano Gemma, Mario Adorf, Madga Konopka, Rick Boyd (Federico Boido), Cris Huerta, Julia Menard, Anthony M.

After a stagecoach massacre, a gunman joins forces with a gullible bungler as they try to avoid a vicious man out to kill the gunfighter for his father. A top notch Ennio Morricone score and quite a bit of comedy highlight his Italian production originally called _**...E per Tetto un Cielo di Stelle**_ (And for a Roof a Heaven of Stars).\n\n**3956** _ **Sky High**_ **** Fox, 1922. 72 min. D-SC: Lynn Reynolds. With Tom Mix, Eva Novak, J. Farrell MacDonald, Sid Jordan, William Buckley, Adele Warner, Wynn Mace, Pat Chrisman.

With John Bowers, Colleen Moore, David Butler, Harry Todd, James Corrigan, Donald MacDonald, Kathleen Kirkham. In the Canadian northwest a minister gets a rough reception from the local cowboys but he later saves the life of a ranch owner's daughter.

Jones head for a town whose citizens have been beset by a gang led by the mysterious El Sombre.

SC: G.M. Anderson and Jesse J. Robbins. With G.M. (Broncho Billy) Anderson, Joy Lewis, Fred Church, Frank Whitson, A.E. Whiting, Mrs. A.E. Whiting, Paul Willis, Harry Todd. The town's lovable no good becomes a hero when he stops a gang of swindlers. Broncho Billy Anderson's final starring film is worth a look just to see the screen first cowboy's star; otherwise an average silent Western with an ingratiating star.\n\n**3997** _ **Son of a Gunfighter**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1966. 92 min.

Stanford Jolley, Paul McGuire, Lane Bradford, Mike Ragan, Joe Dominguez, Alex Montoya. Growing to adulthood, Belle Starr's son attempts to prove he is not an outlaw like his famous mother.

With Lash LaRue, Al St. John, Marion Colby, June Carr, George Baxter, Terry Frost, John James, House Peters, Jr., Clarke Stevens, Bob Duncan, Cliff Taylor, William Perrott, Felipe Turich, Rosa Turich, I.

A frontier scout tries to bring peace between settlers and Indians but the latter are led by a brave who claims to be Geronimo's son and who is in cahoots with renegade whites.

As pseudo-historical fare this Italian production, made as _**Solo Contro Tutti**_ (One Against All), may hold some interest.\n\n**4004** _ **Son of Oklahoma**_ **** World Wide, 1932. 57 min. D: Robert North Bradbury. SC: Burl Tuttle and George Hull.

A deputy sheriff is torn between his duty and the love of a woman whose father helps another man in a holdup. Very poor movie made worse by Bob Custer's BAD acting. Film does contain an amusing sequence at the Yucca Saloon where a jaded gal sings its theme song, \"On the Banks of the Wabash\"(!), and Al St. John has a few good comic moments as a drunk. Reworked as _**Blue Steel**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4010** _ **Son of the Renegade**_ **** United Artists, 1953. 57 min. D: Reg Browne. SC: John Carpenter.

After the Civil War, a cavalry officer returns home to find the area controlled by dishonest politicians and he revives the character of Zorro to stop them.

Average Columbia country music Western program feature.\n\n**4016** _ **Song of Nevada**_ **** Republic, 1944. 75 min. D: Joseph Kane. SC: Gordon Kahn and Olive Cooper. With Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Mary Lee, Bob Nolan and The Sons of the Pioneers (Tim Spencer, Ken Carson, Shug Fisher, Hugh Farr, Karl Farr), Thurston Hall, Lloyd Corrigan, John Eldredge, Forrest Taylor, LeRoy Mason, George Meeker, Emmett Vogan, William B. Davidson, Kenne Duncan, Si Jenks, Frank McCarroll, Henry Wills, Jack O'Shea, Helen Talbot, Jack Perrin, Tom Steele. A millionaire tries to stop his daughter from marrying a man he dislikes by pretending to be dead and having a cowboy romance her. Music outweighs action in this mediocre Roy Rogers affair that is somewhat saved by Thurston Hall as the rich man; TV version is badly butchered at 54 minutes.\n\n**4017** _ **Song of Old Wyoming**_ **** Producers Releasing Corporation, 1945. 65 min. Color. D: Robert Emmett (Tansey). SC: Frances Kavanaugh. With Eddie Dean, Jennifer Holt, Sarah Padden, Al (Lash) LaRue, Emmett Lynn, Ray Elder, John Carpenter, Ian Keith, Robert Barron, Horace Murphy, Rocky Camron, Richard Cramer, Steve Clark, Lee Bennett. A crooning cowboy helps his woman rancher-newspaper owner boss when rustlers take her cattle and try to bankrupt her. Lash LaRue steals the show as the woman's outlaw nephew but attractive Cinecolor and Eddie Dean's singing also help make this good viewing.\n\n**4018** _ **Song of Texas**_ **** Republic, 1943. 69 min. D: Joseph Kane. SC: Winston Miller. With Roy Rogers, Sheila Ryan, Bob Nolan and The Sons of the Pioneers (Tim Spencer, Lloyd Perryman, Pat Brady, Hugh Farr, Karl Farr), Barton MacLane, Harry Shannon, Arline Judge, William Haade, Hal Taliaferro, Yakima Canutt, Tom London, Forrest Taylor, Maxine Doyle, Jack O'Shea, Eve March. Roy Rogers tries to help a drunken once famous rodeo star, who is being used by crooks, in fooling his visiting daughter into thinking he is still a success. Reworking of _**Lady for a Day**_ (Warner Bros., 1932), this Roy Rogers vehicle is very good with Harry Shannon quite effective as the down on this luck rodeo performer.\n\n**4019** _ **Song of the Buckaroo**_ **** Monogram, 1938. 58 min. D: Al Herman. SC: John Rathmell. With Tex Ritter, Jinx Falkenberg, Mary Ruth, Tom London, Frank LaRue, Charles King, Bob Terry, Horace Murphy, Snub Pollard, Dave O'Brien, Dorothy Fay, George Chesebro, Ernie Adams, Rudy Sooter, Bud Osborne, George Morrell. A desperado finds a dead man and assumes his identity, raises his little girl and becomes a respected citizen but his old gang recognizes him and plots blackmail. Pretty fair Tex Ritter opus that includes the Carson Robison tune \"Texas Dan.\"\n\n**4020** _ **Song of the Caballero**_ **** Universal, 1930. 72 min. D: Harry Joe Brown. SC: Bennett Cohen and Lesley Mason. With Ken Maynard, Doris Hill, Francis Ford, Gino Corrado, Evelyn Sherman, Josef Swickard, Frank Rice, William Irving, Jozelle Joyner. Because of abuse to his mother, a cowboy becomes a bandit who only preys on a rich family until he saves the life of their pretty daughter. Okay Ken Maynard early talkie set in Mexico.\n\n**4021** _ **Song of the Drifter**_ **** Monogram, 1948 55 min. D: Lambert Hillyer. SC: Frank Young. With Jimmy Wakely, Dub Taylor, Mildred Coles, Patsy Moran, William Ruhl, Marshall Reed, Frank LaRue, Carl Mathews, Jimmie Martin, Steve Clark, Wheaton Chambers, Bud Osborne, Bob Woodward, Dick Reinhart, Cliffie Stone. A singing cowboy combats crooks trying to pollute water so they can get range land for themselves. Lambert Hillyer's direction tries hard but cannot help this Jimmy Wakely opus.\n\n**4022** _ **Song of the Gringo**_ **** Grand National, 1936. 57 min. D: John McCarthy. SC: Robert Emmett (Tansey) and Al Jennings. With Tex Ritter, Joan Woodbury, Monte Blue, Fuzzy Knight, Richard (Ted) Adams, Warner Richmond, Al Jennings, Martin Garralaga, William Desmond, Glenn Strange, Budd Buster, Murdock MacQuarrie, Ethan Laidlaw, Slim Whitaker, Ed Cassidy, Earl Dwire, Jack Kirk, Bob Burns, Forrest Taylor, Robert Fiske, Rosa Rey, Jose Pacheco and His Continental Orchestra. Cowpoke Tex infiltrates an outlaw gang posing as cowboys and ends up being accused of murdering a ranch owner. More drama and music than action in Tex Ritter's film debut but it contains an exciting finale with a courtroom shootout.\n\n**Advertisement for** _**Song of the Gringo**_ **(Grand National, 1936).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**4023** _ **Song of the Prairie**_ **** Columbia, 1945. 62 min.

When a rancher wants to become a bandleader and start a show club, he is helped by the Hoosier Hot Shots and other entertainers. Average Western musical with the usual modicum of songs.\n\n**4024** _ **Song of the Range**_ **** Monogram, 1944. 55 min. D: Wallace Fox. SC: Betty Burbridge. With Jimmy Wakely, Dennis Moore, Lee \"Lasses\" White, Kay Forrester, Sam Flint, Hugh Prosser, George Eldredge, Steve Clark, Johnny Bond and The Red River Valley Boys, Edmund Cobb, Pierre Watkin, Bud Osborne, Kenneth Terrell, Carl Mathews, Carl Sepulveda, The Sunshine Girls, Frankie Marvin, Carl Mathews, Sam Flint, Roy Brent, Wesley Tuttle, Jimmie Dean, Paul Sells, Colleen Summers (Mary Ford) Cedric Stevens. Falsely accused of murder, a cowboy escapes from jail and assumes the guise of a federal agent to capture a gang of gold smugglers. Jimmy Wakely's first starring Western gives him little to do since Dennis Moore dominates throughout as the wrongly accused cowpoke; okay production that moves fairly quickly but contains too much music. Remake of _**Pals of the Saddle**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4025** _ **Song of the Saddle**_ **** Warner Bros., 1936. 58 min. D: Louis King. SC: William Jacobs. With Dick Foran, Alma Lloyd, Charles Middleton, Addison Richards, Eddie Schubert, Monte Montague, Victor Potel, Kenneth Harlan, Myrtle Stedman, George Ernest, Pat West, James Farley, Julian Rivero, William Desmond, Bud Osborne, Robert Kortman, Bonita Granville, The Sons of the Pioneers (Bob Nolan, Len Slye [Roy Rogers], Tim Spencer, Hugh Farr, Karl Farr). Fifteen years after the murder of his father, a cowboy crooner returns to find the killers. Typically good Dick Foran vehicle.\n\n**4026** _ **Song of the Sierras**_ **** Monogram, 1946. 55 min.

With Jimmy Wakely, Lee \"Lasses\" White, Jean Carlin, Jack Baxley, Iris Clive, Zon Murray, Budd Buster, Bob Duncan, Brad Slaven, Ben Corbett, Ray Jones, Carl Sepulveda, Wesley Tuttle and His Texas Stars, Artie Ortego, George Morrell, Arthur Smith, Forrest Matthews, Bob Gilbert, Jesse Ashlock. In order to win a big race, a cowboy trains wild horses but his activities are opposed by crooks. Another anemic Jimmy Wakely film.\n\n**4027** _ **Song of the Trail**_ **** Ambassador, 1936. 60 min. D: Russell Hopton. SC: George Sayre and Barry Barrington. With Kermit Maynard, Evelyn Brent, Fuzzy Knight, George Hayes, Antoinette Lees (Andrea Leeds), Wheeler Oakman, Lee Shumway, Roger Williams, Ray Gallagher, Charles McMurphy, Horace Murphy, Lynette London, Bob McKenzie, Frank McCarroll, Artie Ortego. A rodeo star falls in love with woman whose father is being harassed by crooks after his valuable mine. One of the best Kermit Maynard features for producer Maurice Conn; full of action and well made.\n\n**4028** _ **Song of the Wasteland**_ **** Monogram, 1947. 58 min. D: Thomas Carr. SC: J. Benton Cheney. With Jimmy Wakely, Lee \"Lasses\" White, Dottye Brown, Holly Bane, John James, Henry Hall, Marshall Reed, Gary Garrett, Ted Adams, Pierce Lyden, George Chesebro, Chester Conklin, John Carpenter, Ray Jones, The Saddle Pals (Johnny Bond, Dick Reinhart, River Lewis). Vigilantes are formed to combat outlaws but a singing cowpoke learns they are the real cause of the area's lawlessness. A fine supporting cast can do little to retrieve this Jimmy Wakley songfest from boredom.\n\n**4029** _ **Song of the West**_ **** Warner Bros., 1930. 82 min. Color. D: Ray Enright. SC: Harry Thew. With John Boles, Vivienne Segal, Joe E. Brown, Marie Wells, Sam Hardy, Marion Byron, Eddie Gribbon, Edward Martindel, Rudolph Cameron, Jack Kirk, Harriett Lake (Ann Sothern). A lieutenant, falsely accused of murder, heads West with a wagon train housing a colonel's daughter, the girl he loves. Stilted early sound musical based on Oscar Hammerstein II and Laurence Stallings' operetta _Rainbow_ , buoyed by John Boles' singing.\n\n**4030** _ **Songs and Bullets**_ **** Spectrum, 1938. 58 min. D: Sam Newfield. SC: Joseph O'Donnell and George H. Plympton. With Fred Scott, Al St. John, Alice Ardell, Karl Hackett, Charles King, Frank LaRue, Richard Cramer, Carl Mathews, Jimmy Aubrey, Budd Buster, Lew Porter, Sherry Tansey, Wally West, Tom Smith. A corrupt, murdering businessman leads a gang, including the local sheriff, which pulls off a robbery but he is trailed by a singing lawman and his partner. Better than average Fred Scott outing with the lovely theme song \"Prairie Moon\" deftly sung by the star who also belts out \"My Old Ten Gallon Hat\" and \"Back in Arkansas.\" When villain Karl Hackett meets pretty French schoolmarm Alice Ardell one of his cohorts exclaims, \"That's the first time Shelton's smiled since he dispossessed the Higgins family.\"\n\n**4031** _ **Songs and Saddles**_ **** Colony, 1938. 65 min. D: Harry Fraser. SC: Wayne Carter.

An entertainer and his troupe find themselves captured by a gang of outlaws. Gene Austin's solo starring Western is a low budget affair but his fans will like him as a singing cowboy and it is loaded with good songs.\n\n_**Sonny and Jed**_ see _**Bandera Bandits**_\n\n**4032** _ **Sonora Stagecoach**_ **** Monogram, 1944. 61 min. D: Robert Emmett Tansey. SC: Frances Kavanaugh.

Carpenter, Fred Hoose, Augie Gomez. The Trail Blazers are assigned to take an accused killer to stand trial with the men who really committed the crime trying to ambush them. Fast paced and well done, the last in \"The Trail Blazers\" series.\n\n**4033** _ **Sons of Adventure**_ **** Republic, 1948. 68 min. D: Yakima Canutt. SC: Franklin Adreon and Sol Shor. With Lynne Roberts, Russell Hayden, Gordon Jones, Grant Withers, George Chandler, Roy Barcroft, John Newland, Stephanie Bachelor, John Holland, Gilbert Frye, Richard Irving, Joan Blair, John Crawford, Keith Richards, James Dale. After a Western star is murdered on the set of his new film a stuntman is blamed and his pals try to find the real killer. Out-of-the-ordinary feature that is well directed by Yakima Canutt with an added bonus of a look at the Republic film factory.\n\n**4034** _ **The Sons of Great Bear**_ **** VEB Progress Film-Vertrief, 1966. 92 min. Color. D: Josef Mach. SC: Lisolette Welskopf-Henrich.

Hoffmann, Martin Tapak, Horst Kube, Walter E. Fuss, Sepp Klose. When gold is discovered in the Black Hills, Indian tribes not only face invasion and resettlement by whites but also friction among themselves. Ground breaking Eastern Bloc Western that is a bit stilted but still worth seeing; filmed in East Germany as _**Die Sohne der Grossen Barin**_ (The Son of the Great Bear).\n\n**4035** _ **The Sons of Katie Elder**_ **** Paramount, 1965. 122 min.

Four brothers return home after their mother's death only to be falsely blamed for a killing by the crooks who cheated their father. Very entertaining John Wayne outing.\n\n**4036** _ **Sons of New Mexico**_ **** Columbia, 1950. 71 min. D: John English. SC: Paul Gangelin. With Gene Autry, Gail Davis, Robert Armstrong, Dick Jones, Clayton Moore, Frankie Darro, Irving Bacon, Russell Arms, Marie Blake, Sandy Sanders, Roy Gordon, Frankie Marvin, Pierce Lyden, Paul Raymond, Kenne Duncan, Harry Mackin, Bobby Clark, Gaylord (Steve) Pendleton, Billy Lechner. After being appointed the executor of an estate, Gene Autry tries to get the young heir from under the influence of a dishonest rancher by sending him to military school.

SC: Bennett Cohen and Lesley Mason. With Ken Maynard, Doris Hill, Joseph Girard, Carroll Nye, Francis Ford, Harry Todd, Frank Rice, William Gillis.

Not only does a lawman have to face his past when his family shows up on Christmas Eve, but he and a pal must take on the outlaw gang who abducted the sidekick's girl friend.

The first, and still best, of the five versions of the Rex Beach novel, famous for its reel long fight between William Farnum and Tom Santschi; a true cinema classic.

Holmes. In the Klondike gold rush days a man romances two women while he and his partners fight claim jumpers. Initial sound version of Rex Beach's novel is a fairly good screen adaptation. Gary Cooper replaced George Bancroft in the lead and the stars of the 1914 version, William Farnum and Tom Santschi, were technical advisors for the restaging of the big fight scene. Ironically Farnum and Santschi did a better job redoing the brawl the next year in the non-Western _**Ten Nights in a Bar Room**_ (Road Show Productions, 1931).\n\n**4072** _ **The Spoilers**_ **** Universal, 1942. 87 min.

A woman saloon owner vies for the attentions of a Klondike prospector with a respectable woman who works for the crook trying to cheat the man and his partner out of their gold claim.

A man and his pal agree to help a young woman by driving her stagecoach which has been attacked by bandits. Okay but slow Don Barry film that includes several well staged riding and chase sequences involving holdups.\n\n**4107** _ **Stagecoach Kid**_ **** RKO Radio, 1949. 60 min. D: Lew Landers. SC: Norman Houston. With Tim Holt, Richard Martin, Jeff Donnell, Joseph Sawyer, Thurston Hall, Carol Hughes, Robert Bray, Robert B. Williams, Kenneth MacDonald, Harry Harvey.

Marshal Billy Carson pretends to be a wanted man to stop a gang from destroying a stage operation. Typically cheap, but fun, \"Billy Carson\" outing.\n\n**4109** _ **Stagecoach to Dancer's Rock**_ **** Universal-International, 1962. 72 min. D: Earl Bellamy. SC: Kenneth Darling. With Warren Stevens, Jody Lawrence, Martin Landau, Judy Dan, Del Moore, Don Wilbanks, Bob Anderson, Rand Brooks, Gene Roth, Charles Tannen, Mike Ragan (Holly Bane), Mauritz Hugo, Tim Bolton.

Wanting a woman's property, a supposedly good citizen has her kidnapped and then murders a local official, putting his henchman in his place. Fairly action filled \"Red Ryder\" adventure.\n\n**4111** _ **Stagecoach to Fury**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1956. 76 min. D: William F. Claxton. SC: Eric Norden. With Forrest Tucker, Mari Blanchard, Wallace Ford, Rodolfo Hoyos, Paul Fix, Rico Alaniz, Wright King, Margia Dean, Ian MacDonald, Steven Geray, Ellen Corby, Paul Fierro, Leslie Banning, Rayford Barnes, Robert Karnes, Norman Leavitt, Alex Montoya, William \"Bill\" Phillips. Passengers aboard a stage are held hostage by Mexican bandits who await the arrival of the next coach in order to steal its gold shipment.

Hopalong Cassidy and the Bar 20 men find themselves in the middle of a contract war between two stagecoach lines.

An Apache warrior comes in search of the white woman and his son taken from him by a man who has settled with them on his New Mexico ranch.

With Ken Curtis, Carolina Cotton, Shug Fisher, Forrest Taylor, Ted Adams, Billy Hammond, Roy Butler.

A veterinarian and his novelist pal both fall in love with a woman who breeds horses but the doctor almost loses her when the herd contracts anthrax. Only fair modern-day melodrama; not even un-credited direction by Raoul Walsh helps.\n\n**4116** _ **The Stampede**_ **** Victor Kremer Films, 1921. 50 min. D: Francis Ford. SC: Kingsley Benedict and Eugenie Kremer. With Texas Guinan, Francis Ford, Frederick Moore, Jean Carpenter, Vale Rio, Fred Kohler, Cecil McLean, Kingsley Benedict, Snowflake (horse). A woman, in love with a cowboy who does not return her affections, tries to claim a section of government land only to be opposed by crooks who want it for themselves.

D: Ford Beebe. SC: Robert Watson. With Charles Starrett, Finis Barton, J.P. McGowan, LeStrange Millman, Reginald Hincks, James McGrath, Arthur Kerr, Jack Atkinson, Michael Heppell, Ted Mapes. A rancher wants the spread of a rival and kills a buyer for the man's cattle but the victim's brother arrives on the scene looking for the murderer. Mediocre Charles Starrett vehicle, not up to the usual standard of his Columbia series.\n\n**4118** _ **Stampede**_ **** Allied Artists, 1949. 78 min. D: Lesley Selander. SC: John C. Champion and Blake Edwards. With Rod Cameron, Gale Storm, Don Castle, Johnny Mack Brown, Don Curtis, John Eldredge, John Miljan, Jonathan Hale, James Harrison, Ted Elliott, Jack Parker, Chuck Roberson, Tim Ryan, Kenne Duncan, Carol Henry, Adrian Wood, I. Stanford Jolley, Marshall Reed, Philo McCullough, Charles King, Duke York, Wes Christensen, Bud Osborne, Henry Hall, Boyd Stockman. Two feuding cattlemen brothers become involved with settlers who are being cheated out of their water rights.

With Tom Tryon, Stephen McNally, Sidney Blackmer, Bill Williams, John Larch, Harold J. Stone, Norma Moore, Grant Williams, H.M. Wynant, Don Kelly. After marrying the girl he loves, a Texas Ranger finds himself caught between Indians on the warpath and outlaws, ending up a wanted man.

Cain, Jane Murtin and Harvey Fergusson.

A man is hired by a railroad to investigate slave running and he becomes at odds with a stagecoach operator involved in the trade. Slick pre\u2013Civil War drama sure to delight Wallace Beery fans.\n\n**4122** _ **Standing Tall**_ **** NBC-TV, 1978. 100 min. Color. D: Harvey Hart. SC: Franklin Thompson. With Robert Forster, Will Sampson, L.Q. Jones, Robert Donner, Ron Hayes, Buck Taylor, Linda Evans, Chuck Connors, Faith Quabius, Dani Jannssen, Robert Gentry, Eddie Firestone, David Lewis. During the Depression a half-breed rancher runs into trouble when he refuses to sell his spread to a ruthless cattle baron.

With John Agar, Mamie Van Doren, Richard Boone, Coleen Gray, Leif Erickson, James Gleason, Randy Stuart, Terry Gilkyson, Paul Fix, Harry Morgan, Stuart Randall, Robert Osterloh, Stanley Andrews, John Day, Stafford Repp, Lewis Martin, Renny McEvoy, Jesse Kirkpatrick, James Parnell, Anthony Jochim, Kenneth MacDonald, George Wallace, Clint Eastwood, Jack Ingram, Kermit Maynard, Chuck Hamilton, Frank Mills. When a gunman kills three farmers, a sheriff plans to hang him for the crimes but the town's citizens refuse to go along with the execution.

With Wayne Morris, Paul Fix, Rick Vallin, Robert Bice, Frank Ferguson, Jack Larson, James Flavin, Lyle Talbot, William Fawcett, Mickey Simpson, George Wallace, John Crawford, Stanley Price, Pierce Lyden, Frank Ellis, Jack O'Shea, Ray Jones. An outlaw gang recruits new members from prison and a Texas Ranger pretends to be an escaped convict to track them down. Documentary-like atmosphere makes this Wayne Morris film (the first in his Allied Artists series, the final official \"B\" Western grouping) good entertainment; remade as _**Gunfight at Comanche Creek**_ and _**Last of the Badmen**_ (qq.v.).\n\n**4125** _ **The Star Packer**_ **** Monogram, 1934. 54 min. D-SC: Robert North Bradbury. With John Wayne, Verna Hillie, George Hayes, Yakima Canutt, Earl Dwire, Ed (Eddie) Parker, George Cleveland, Tom Lingham, Artie Ortego, Davie Aldrich, Tex Palmer, Billy Franey, Glenn Strange, Arthur Millett, Frank Ball. A government agent, helped by his Indian pal, takes the job of sheriff in a town plagued by an outlaw gang led by a mysterious figure called The Shadow. Hidden tunnels, a hooded gang kingpin and lots of action makes this Lone Star production a good one; colorized as _**The Shadow Gang**_.\n\n**4126** _ **Starbird and Sweet William**_ **** Howco International, 1975. 95 min. Color. D: Jack B. Hively. SC: Axel Gruenberg. With Dan Haggerty, Skip Homeier, A. Martinez, Louise Fitch, Skeeter Vaughn, Roger Bear, Ancil Cook. An Indian youth takes an unauthorized solo flight in a plane and ends up crashing it in the wilderness where he has to fight to survive and is befriended by a bear cub and other animals.

When crooks frame a young man on an embezzlement charge, Gene Autry comes to the rescue. Note even some good songs, including \"Deep in the Heart of Texas,\" and an excellent supporting cast can overcome the tedium of this Gene Autry effort.\n\n**4128** _ **Starlight Over Texas**_ **** Monogram, 1938. 56 min. D: Al Herman. SC: John Rathmell. With Tex Ritter, Carmen LaRoux, Snub Pollard, Horace Murphy, Karl Hackett, Charles King, Martin Garralaga, George Chesebro, Carlos Villarias, Ed Cassidy, Sherry Tansey, Bob Terry, Horace B. Carpenter, Dave O'Brien, Denver Dixon, Chick Hannon, Tex Palmer, Rosa Turich, Carmen Alvarez, Jerry Comez, The Northwesterners, Martin Cazares. With outlaws attacking Spanish ranchers, a cowboy and his pal try to bring them to justice. Standard Tex Ritter vehicle hurt by a long mid-way musical segment, although it is well staged, with the star singing the rousing \"A Viva Tequila.\" British title: _**Moonlight Over Texas**_.\n\n**4129** _ **Stars in My Crown**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1950. 89 min. D: Jacques Tourneur. SC: Margaret Fitts. With Joel McCrea, Ellen Drew, Dean Stockwell, Alan Hale, Lewis Stone, James Mitchell, Amanda Blake, Juano Hernandez, Charles Kemper, Connie Gilchrist, Ed Begley, Jack Lambert, Arthur Hunnicutt, James Arness, Snub Pollard, Victor Kilian, Chuck Courtney, Wilson Wood, Ralph Hodges, Polly Bailey, Adeline de Walt Reynolds, Norman Ollestad, Jr., Ben Watson, Jimmy Moss, Jessie Grayson, Philo McCullough, James Pierce, Buddy Roosevelt, Howard Mitchell, Tex Terry, Frank Pharr, Carl Petti, Helen Eby-Rock, Bill Clauson, Rhea Mitchell, Patricia Miller, Al Kundel, Jessie Arnold (voice), Marshall Thompson (narrator). A new minister comes to the pulpit in a rural community and finds he needs a gun to carry out his mission. Homey, episodic film about life in rural nineteenth century America; good viewing.\n\n**4130** _ **Stars Over Arizona**_ **** Monogram, 1937. 62 min. D: Robert North Bradbury. SC: Robert Emmett (Tansey). With Jack Randall, Kathleen Eliot, Horace Murphy, Warner Richmond, Tom Herbert, Hal Price, Earl Dwire, Glenn Strange, Ernie Adams, Chick Hannon, Jack Rockwell, Forrest Taylor, Bob McKenzie, Sherry Tansey, Tex Palmer. A crooked town boss tries to stop a female rancher from selling her cattle and she is helped by a federal marshal sent to the area to halt lawlessness.

With Eddie Dean, Shirley Patterson, Roscoe Ates, Lee Bennett, Lee Roberts, Kermit Maynard, Jack O'Shea, Hal Smith, Matty Roubert, Carl Mathews, William Fawcett, Frank Ellis, Hal Smith, The Sunshine Boys (Eddie Wallace, J.D. Sumner, M.H. Richman, Freddie Daniel). Outlaws are murdering citizens and rustling cattle with area ranchers hiring a detective to stop them. Plot wise this Eddie Dean film is not much but it does include two of the star's lovely compositions, the title song and \"Sands of the Old Rio Grande,\" the latter written with Glenn Strange. A remake of _**Driftin' Kid**_ (q.v.).\n\n_**State Police**_ see _**Whirlwind Raiders**_\n\n**4132** _ **Station West**_ **** RKO Radio, 1948. 92 min. D: Sidney Lanfield.

An Army officer works undercover to find out who is behind a series of hijackings that have led to murder. Fast paced action melodrama. Some prints run 80 minutes and there is also a colorized version.\n\n**Dick Powell, Joseph Sawyer and Agnes Moorehead in** _**Station West**_ **(RKO Radio, 1948).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**4133** _ **Stay Away, Joe**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1968. 101 min.

A half-blood Cree Indian rodeo rider returns to the reservation to help his people with a government rehabilitation program to set them up as cattle ranchers. Pretty poor Elvis Presley film.\n\n**4134** _ **Steel Cowboy**_ **** NBC-TV\/EMI Television, 1978. 100 min. Color. D: Harvey Laidman. SC: Douglas Wheeler and Bill Kerby. With James Brolin, Jennifer Warren, Rip Torn, Melanie Griffith, Julie Cobb, Lou Frizzell, Strother Martin, Albert Popwell, John Dennis Johnston, Bob Schott, Don Calfa, Rudy Diaz, Bob Hoy, Scott Thompson, Larry Spaulding. Despite opposition from his wife, a trucker tries to save his rig by agreeing to haul stolen cattle for a pal. Mediocre TV movie.\n\n**4135** _ **Stick to Your Guns**_ **** Paramount, 1941. 63 min. D: Lesley Selander. SC: J. Benton Cheney. With William Boyd, Andy Clyde, Brad King, Jacqueline (Jennifer) Holt, Dick Curtis, Weldon Heyburn, Henry Hall, Joe Whitehead, Bob Card, Jack C.

When a gang of rustlers proves elusive, Hopalong Cassidy takes on the guise of a wanted man in order to infiltrate them. Rather slow Hoppy series entry with William Boyd also playing gambler Tex Riley, a disguise he used earlier in _**Bar 20**_ _**Rides Again**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4136** _ **The Still Trumpet**_ **** CBS-TV\/20th Century\u2013Fox, 1957. 45 min.

Indians threaten the denizens of a remote Western fort with imprisoned Confederate soldiers enlisted to protect them.

Turner, Jerry Wasserman, Sherry Wells, Dale Wilson, O.J. (dog). In order to help save his grandfather's farm, an orphan boy competes in a dog sled race with a previously unbeaten Indian. TV family film is on the pale side.\n\n**4138** _ **Stone of Silver Creek**_ **** Universal, 1935. 61 min. D: Nick Grinde. SC: Earle Snell. With Buck Jones, Noel Francis, Niles Welch, Murdock MacQuarrie, Marion Shilling, Peggy Campbell, Rodney Hildebrand, Harry Semels, Grady Sutton, Bob McKenzie, Lew Meehan, Frank Rice, Kernan Cripps, Eddie Gribbon, Horace B. Carpenter, Bill Patton, Hank Bell, Charles Brinley. A saloon owner gets religion but finds he is at odds with the town's preacher over a pretty girl. A different kind of Buck Jones action film with touches of the type of fare William S. Hart did in the silent days, although not so austere.\n\n**4139** _ **The Storm**_ **** Universal, 1930. 90 min. D: William Wyler. SC: Wells Root and Tom Reed. With Lupe Velez, Paul Cavanagh, William Boyd, Alphonse Ethier, Ernie Adams, Tom London, Nick Thompson, Erin La Bissoniere. Two war buddies fall in love with a girl who they get snowbound with in the wilds of Canada and the men become bitter enemies for her hand in marriage. Standard screen version of the 1919 Landgon McCormick novel with a well staged avalanche sequence; first filmed in 1922 by Universal with Matt Moore, House Peters and Virginia Valli.\n\n**4140** _ **Storm Over Wyoming**_ **** RKO Radio, 1950. 60 min. D: Lesley Selander.

A dishonest ovine ranch foreman causes trouble between cattlemen and sheep herders. Despite more than adequate production values, this Tim Holt vehicle is only average.\n\n**4141** _ **The Storm Rider**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1957. 70 min. D: Edward Bernds. SC: Edward Bernds and Don Martin. With Scott Brady, Mala Powers, Bill Williams, John Goddard, William Fawcett, Roy Engel, George Keymas, Olin Howlin, Hank Patterson, James Dobson, John Close, Jim Hayward, Rocky Shahan, Frank Richards, Rick Vallin, Lane Chandler, Tom London, I. Stanford Jolley, Britt Wood, John Cason, Bud Osborne, Al Baffert, Ron Foster, Jean Ann Lewis, Wayne Mallory, Cortland Shepard, Rocky Lundy. A big rancher, in order to stop competition, hires a vicious gunman while the Cattle Association sends an agent to help those being attacked. Moody and fairly action filled oater highlighted by Byrdon Baker's photography; it contains an especially good early sequence of the agent riding into town during a dust storm.\n\n_**Storm Rider**_ (1972) see _**The Grand Duel**_\n\n**4142** _ **Stormy**_ **** Universal, 1935. 68 min.

McDaniel, Eddie (Edmund) Cobb, Charles Murphy, James Welch, Shirley Marks, Chester Gan, William Welsh, Jack Leonard, Monte Montague, W.H. Davis, Rex (horse). A young man searches for a beautiful stallion lost during a train wreck and ends up saving a herd of wild horses.

With Rex Bell, Lois Wilde, Bob Hodges, Lane Chandler, Earl Dwire, Lloyd Ingraham, Karl Hackett, Earle Ross, Murdock MacQuarrie, Jimmy Aubrey, Roger Williams, George Morrell. Two brothers own a ranch with a mortgage and bad men are after the land for the gold it contains. Low grade production with a complicated plot and some fast action.\n\n**4144** _ **Straight Shooter**_ **** Victory, 1939. 60 min. D: Sam Newfield. SC: Basil Dickey and Joseph O'Donnell. With Tim McCoy, Julie Sheldon, Ben Corbett, Forrest Taylor, Carl Mathews, Ted Adams, Budd Buster, Reed Howes, Wally West, Jack Ingram, Dan White, George Morrell. A lawman pretends to be a rancher trying to buy property where he suspects an outlaw gang has hidden stolen loot. This \"Lightning Bill Carson\" outing is not one of Tim McCoy's best, mainly due to budget limitations.\n\n**4145** _ **Straight Shooting**_ **** Universal\/Butterfly, 1917. 53 min. D: Jack (John) Ford. SC: George Hively. With Harry Carey, Molly Malone, Duke R. Lee, Vester Pegg, Hoot Gibson, George Berrell, Ted Brooks, Milt Brown. Cattlemen hire an outlaw to help them in their fight with settlers but he soon changes sides due to the brutality of his employers and the love of a nester girl. John Ford's first feature film is crude and simplistic by today's standards but it is still well worth viewing. Reissued in two reels in 1925 and called _**Straight Shooting**_. Also known as _**Joan of Cattle Country**_.\n\n**4146** _ **Straight to Hell**_ **** Initial Pictures, 1987. 86 min. Color. D: Alex Cox. SC: Alex Cox and Dick Rude. With Dennis Hopper, Courtney Love, Elvis Costello, Grace Jones, Sy Richardson, Joe Strummer, Dick Rude, Bill Yeager, Sara Sugarman, Jim Jarmusch, Zander Schloss, Juan Torres, The Pogues. Bank robbers bury money they stole in a holdup and end up in a town where they eventually have a showdown with a mysterious stranger. Mixed up take off of Spaghetti Westerns not likely to appeal to genre fans.\n\n**4147** _ **Strange Gamble**_ **** United Artists, 1948. 61 min. D: George Archainbaud. SC: J. Benton Cheney, Bennett Cohen and Ande Lamb. With William Boyd, Andy Clyde, Rand Brooks, Elaine Riley, Francis McDonald, Paul Fix, William F. Leicester, Joan Barton, James Craven, Joel Friedkin, Herbert Rawlinson, Robert B. Williams, Alberto Morin, Lee Tung Foo, Dewey Robinson, George Sowards. The government hires Hopalong Cassidy and his pals to investigate the appearance of counterfeit money in a border town. Turgid final \"Hopalong Cassidy\" series entry.\n\n**4148** _ **Strange Lady in Town**_ **** Warner Bros., 1955. 112 min. Color. D: Mervyn LeRoy. SC: Frank Butler. With Greer Garson, Dana Andrews, Cameron Mitchell, Lois Smith, Walter Hampden, Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez, Joan Camden, Jose Torvay, Adele Jergens, Robert Wilke, Frank De Kova, Russell Johnson, Gregory Walcott, Douglas Kennedy, Ralph Moody, Nick Adams, Jack Williams, The Trianas. A woman doctor arrives in Santa Fe in 1879 to find her brother is an outlaw. Overlong and none-too-successful vehicle for Greer Garson; Frankie Laine sings the title song.\n\n**4149** _ **The Strange Vengeance of Rosalie**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1972. 107 min. Color. D: Jack Starrett. SC: Anthony Greville-Bell and John Kohn. With Bonnie Bedelia, Ken Howard, Anthony Zerbe. A young Indian girl forces a traveling salesman to keep her company in an isolated New Mexico desert home until they are terrorized by a crazed biker.

In order to obtain a fortune once belonging to a Chinese war lord, a gunman joins forces with a kung fu expert as they search for clues tattooed on the backsides of four comely young ladies. Elaborate genre put-on is lots of fun for Spaghetti Western fans. Video title: _**Blood Money\u2014Stranger and the Gunfighter**_.\n\n**4151** _ **Stranger at My Door**_ **** Republic, 1956. 85 min. D: Willian Witney. SC: Barry Shipman.

Burns, Tom Black, Peter Brocco, Penny Carpenter. A minister trying to help an outlaw ends up putting his family in danger. Good, upbeat drama with an especially find performance by Macdonald Carey as the preacher.\n\n**4152** _ **The Stranger from Arizona**_ **** Columbia, 1938. 60 min. D: Elmer Clifton. SC: Monroe Shaff. With Buck Jones, Dorothy Fay, Hank Mann, Roy Barcroft, Hank Worden, Bob Terry, Horace Murphy, Budd Buster, Dot Farley, Stanley Blystone, Ralph Peters, Horace B.

Runaway frontier bond servant Andrew Johnson works his way up the political ladder to eventually become one of the most controversial of U.S. presidents.

The timid stepson of a 17th century Spanish despot is actually the masked Don Diego, alias Zorro, who attacks his stepfather's army and weakens his control over the people.

A cowboy and his pal go to a ghost town used as the headquarters of an outlaw gang led by a man who committed a murder for which the cowpoke's father is blamed.

O'Docharty, Johnnie Ferr. A bad man pits two families against one another so they will kill each other off and he can get their lands.

D: Armand L. Schaefer. SC: Jack Cunningham.

When a dishonest rancher tries to start a range war by secretly placing sheep on cattlemen's land, the Durango Kid tries to stop the hostilities.

To avenge the murder of his niece, a cowboy plans to kill off the outlaw gang responsible for her death during a stagecoach robbery.

Two north woods fur trappers vie for the daughter of a trading post owner and one of them has his men steal the other's valuable furs. Low budget action program feature from producer-director Bernard B. Ray, based on a James Oliver Curwood story; picturesque due to its mostly outdoor setting.\n\n**4275** _ **The Test of Donald Norton**_ **** Chadwick, 1926. 68 min. D: B. Reeves Eason.

Hart, Eva Novak, Gordon Russell, Florence Carpenter, Richard Headrick, Ira McFadden. An outlaw gang leader falls in love with a pretty entertainer and after they marry and settle down one of his henchmen arrives planning to steal the wife.

D: Duccio Tessari. SC: Duccio Tessari, Gianfranco Clerici, Marcello Coscia and Giorgio Bonelli. With Giulian Gemma, William Berger, Isabella Russivora, Aldo Sambrell, Carlo Mucari, Flavio Bucci, Giovanni Luigi Bonelli, Peter Berling. A frontier investigator uncovers a plot by a Yaqui Indian shaman to use a mysterious rock to mummify a rival tribe. The combination of Spaghetti Western and horror does not blend well; released in Italy, where it was made, as _**Tex il Signore degli Abissi**_ (Tex and the Lord of the Abyss).\n\n**4278** _ **Tex Granger**_ **** Columbia, 1948. 15 Chapters. D: Derwin Abrahams. SC: Arthur Hoerl, Lewis Clay, Harry Fraser and Royal K. Cole. With Robert (Stevens) Kellard, Peggy Stewart, Buzz Henry, Smith Ballew, Jack Ingram, I.

A cowpoke joins a boy and a young woman in opposing the activities of a crook who has become town sheriff.

With Tex Ritter, Marjorie Reynolds, Horace Murphy, Snub Pollard, Tommy Bupp, Charles King, Forrest Taylor, Karl Hackett, Lynton Brent, Philip Ahn, Ed Cassidy, Timmy Davis, Heber Snow (Hank Worden), The Beverly Hill Billies. A mine ore geologist and his two pals are helped by a Boy Scout troop in capturing a gang of train robbers masquerading as gold mine operators.

Color. D: Alvin J. Neitz (Alan James). SC: Alan James.

The Llano Kid, a wanted outlaw, claims to be the long lost son of an old woman.

With James Ellison, Evelyn Ankers, Lee \"Lasses\" White, Jack Ingram, Ruth Whitney, Frank Pharr, Sally Weidman, Rudy de Saxe, Hugh Hooker, Ray Jones, Paul Barney, Ferrell Lester, Ronald Marriott, Bill Orisman, Lou W. Pierce, Elmer Herzberg. A cowpoke helps Calamity Jane as she tries to prove the validity of her ownership of a saloon. Unbelievably poor oater that is neither straight drama nor satire.\n\n**4284** _ **The Texans**_ **** Paramount, 1938. 90 min. D: James Hogan. SC: Paul Sloane and William Wister Haines. With Joan Bennett, Randolph Scott, May Robson, Walter Brennan, Robert Cummings, Robert Barrat, Harvey Stephens, Francis Ford, Bill Roberts, Clarence Wilson, Raymond Hatton, Jack Moore, Francis McDonald, Alan Ladd, Chris-Pin Martin, Anna Demetrio, Richard Tucker, Edward Gargan, Otis Harlan, Spencer Charters, Archie Twitchell, William Haade, Irving Bacon, Jack Perrin, Richard Denning, Wheeler Oakman, Harry Woods, Esther Howard, Ed LeSaint, John Qualen, Ed Brady, Margaret McWade, Vera Steadman, James Burtis, Lon Poff, Kay Whitehead, Frank Cordell, Slim Hightower, Slim Talbot, Oscar Smith, Everett Brown, James Kelso, Philip Morris, Ralph Remley, Pat West. A cowboy leads a cattle drive, which includes the pretty daughter of the herd's owner, from Texas to Kansas after the Civil War. Too much stock footage mars this remake of Emerson Hough's novel _North of '36_ which Paramount first filmed in 1924 with Jack Holt under its original title.\n\n**4285** _ **Texans Never Cry**_ **** Columbia, 1951. 70 min.

When he is accused of murdering the fiancee of the woman he loves, a Spanish nobleman rides to Texas and falls for an Indian maiden while his ex-love follows him and is attracted to a cattleman.

A lawman and his brother go to Mexico to bring back the land baron who murdered their father years before.

With Bob Steele, Nancy Drexel, Francis McDonald, Harry Semels, George Hayes, Bill Dyer, Dick Dickinson, Earl Dwire, Si Jenks, Henry Roquemore, Herman Hack, Artie Ortego. In 1919 a man returns home from the war and teams with his late father's friend to work a mine as they attempt to trap crooks who tried to rob a payroll and murder a pilot. Entertaining, but somewhat rambling Bob Steele film with such disparate plot elements as aviation, a horse race, robbery, murder and a runaway tin lizzie.\n\n**4291** _ **Texas Carnival**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1951. 77 min. Color. D: Charles Walters. SC: Dorothy Kingsley.

The managers of a large Texas resort hotel mistakenly believe a circus bum is a big cattle and oil tycoon. There is not much to recommend this glossy musical comedy outside the presence of Red Skelton.\n\n**4292** _ **Texas City**_ **** Monogram, 1952. 54 min. D: Lewis D. Collins. SC: Joseph Poland. With Johnny Mack Brown, James Ellison, Lois Hall, Lorna Thayer, Lane Bradford, Marshall Reed, Terry Frost, Lyle Talbot, Pierce Lyden, John Hart, Lennie Osborne, Stanley Price.

A cowboy rides into an Arizona town where he is mistaken for another man, almost gets killed and then tries to help a beautiful woman save her ranch from a crooked saloon keeper. Interesting Tim McCoy feature with John Wayne in a supporting role; remade as _**One Man Justice**_ (q.v.).\n\n_**Texas Desperadoes**_ see _**Drift Fence**_\n\n**4295** _ **Texas Detour**_ **** Arista Films, 1978. 92 min.

Using a medicine show as a front, a cowboy searches for the crook who lured his sister south of the border in a shady operation that resulted in her suicide.

After winning big gambling and paying off her father's debts, a woman takes over a newspaper and opposes a local crook.

A lawman is called in to investigate terrorism against local ranchers caused by three crooks who use a legitimate business as a front, and his problems are compounded when his singing partner is taken in by the organization.

Hoppy pretends to be an Eastern dude lawyer to get the goods on a murderous band of outlaws. Novel idea wears thin as the film progresses although this \"Hopalong Cassidy\" entry does have a different ending with the villain dying in quicksand.\n**4305** _ **Texas Panhandle**_ **** Columbia, 1945. 58 min.

With Bill Cody, Andy Shuford, Sheila Mannors, Harry Allen, LeRoy Mason, Frank Lackteen, John Elliott, Ann Ross, Hank Bell, Iron Eyes Cody, Chief Standing Bear.

SC: Oliver Drake. With Bill Cody, Catherine Cotter, Earle Hodgins, Stuart James, Mildred Rogers, Budd Buster, Ace Cain, Roger Williams, Buck Morgan, Colin Chase, Allen Greer, Bud Pope. A mysterious figure enlists the aid of a cowboy called \"The Rambler\" to help a young woman who crooks want to kidnap for her inheritance, one-half interest in a ranch.

A western lawyer is on the trail of the outlaws who murdered his folks. Another fast paced and well made Don Barry film; the plot is nothing new but the star and director keep it moving. Look for one-time Broadway and early talkies star Ann Pennington in a brief production number.\n\n**4319** _ **Texas to Bataan**_ **** Monogram, 1942. 58 min. D: Robert (Emmett) Tansey.

Taking the guise of the mysterious Phantom, a lawman seeks to trap the man who murdered his pal and he also helps siblings whose mortgage is held by a crook.

A woman and her four lovely daughters head to Alaska during the Gold Rush to join her new husband, a newspaper editor, and find he has been murdered.

In 1916 Universal made a six reel version of _**The Three Godfathers**_ starring Harry Carey, with Hart (Jack) Hoxie in a supporting role; Edward J.

Bob Steele is great in this otherwise fair Western with some well done comedy that even has villain Charles King as an early romantic interest for the leading lady! \"Thunder\" in the title refers to dynamite used to blow up waterholes.\n\n**4383** _ **Thunder in the Pines**_ **** Screen Guild, 1948. 62 min.

With Susan Hayward, Jeff Chandler, Jacques Bergerac, Blanche Yurka, Carl Esmond, Fortunio Bonanova, Felix Locher, Bertrand Castelli, Albert Carrier, Michele Marty, Alberto Villa, Veda Ann Borg. In 1850 a wagon train of French Basques heads to California to plant vineyards and along the way a pretty woman is romanced by two men, including the wagon master.

With George O'Brien, Barbara Fritchie, Frances Grant, Morgan Wallace, George Hayes, Ed Le Saint, Dean Benton, William Norton Bailey, Carl Stockdale, Lloyd Ingraham, Lafe McKee, Neal Hart, Hal Price, Clyde McClary, Harry Tenbrook, Harry Baven, Hank Bell, Arthur Thalasso, Sid Jordan, Denver Dixon. In the north country, a prospector is cheated out of his portion of a mining claim and plans to right the wrong. Okay George O'Brien vehicle that tends to drag a bit.

Returning home from college a man finds himself in the middle of a feud instigated by a dishonest saloon owner and his cohort, the sheriff. Supposed based on the Zane Grey novel, this film has little to do with that source but is still a rip-roaring good time.\n\n_**Thunder Mountain**_ (1964) see _**The Shepherd of the Hills**_ (1964)\n\n**4387** _ **A Thunder of Drums**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1961. 97 min.

Edward McKinley. A young lieutenant is assigned to a remote cavalry post where he has troubles with a tough captain.

With Skip Homeier, Kristine Miller, George Macready, Wallace Ford, Jack Elam, Gregory Walcott, Nacho Galindo, George Keymas, John Doucette, John Compton, Bob Swain, Julian Rivero, Francis McDonald, Fred Graham.

A little girl, whose father is murdered over valuable railroad rights-of-way maps, is kidnapped by outlaws but she is rescued by a cowboy.

In post\u2013Civil War Texas an Army officer is assigned to bring in a bandit terrorizing carpetbaggers although the soldier sympathizes with him.

Three cowpokes follow a pretty girl to her Wyoming ranch where they get mixed up in a feud instigated by a crook and his pals.

D: Harry Fraser. SC: James Oliver. With Bob Steele, Ellen Hall, Syd Saylor, Bud Geary, Charles King, Edward Howard, Steve Clark, Bud Osborne, Jimmy Aubrey, Pascale Perry, Don Weston and His Band. Released from prison after serving time when framed for a crime, a man returns home to save the woman he loves from one of the men responsible for sending him behind bars. While nothing to brag about, this Bob Steele vehicle (from his final starring series) should please his legion of fans; remake of _**Lawless Valley**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4395** _ **Thunder Trail**_ **** Paramount, 1937. 58 min. D: Charles Barton. SC: Robert Yost and Stuart Anthony. With Gilbert Roland, Charles Bickford, Marsha Hunt, J.

Two brothers have a falling out after their rancher father dies with one of them wanting to help a man and his daughter build a telegraph line while the other is in cahoots with a saloon owner out to stop them. Vapid Charles Starrett outing.\n\n**4402** _ **Thundering Gun Slingers**_ **** Producers Releasing Corporation, 1944. 61 min. D: Sam Newfield. SC: Fred Myton. With Buster Crabbe, Al St. John, Frances Gladwin, George Chesebro, Karl Hackett, Charles King, Jack Ingram, Kermit Maynard, Budd Buster, Hank Bell, Cactus Mack, Ray Henderson, Augie Gomez, Herman Hack, George Morrell, Roy Bucko.

A buffalo hunter joins a wagon train heading West and tries to help them when attacked by Indians who have been incited to war by the needless slaughter of bison. Program feature remake of the 1925 film starring Jack Holt and Lois Wilson, this version is hurt by too much footage from the original. Noah Berry, repeating his role from the 1925 feature, is great as the lecherous villain Randall Jett and he is equaled by Blanche Frederici as his vengeful wife. Reissued as _**Buffalo Stampede**_.\n\n**4404** _ **Thundering Hoofs**_ **** Film Booking Offices (FBO), 1924. 47 min. D: Al (Albert S.) Rogell. SC: Marion Jackson.

A very good film.\n\n**4405** _ **Thundering Hoofs**_ **** RKO Radio, 1942. 61 min D: Lesley Selander. SC: Paul Franklin. With Tim Holt, Luana Walters, Lee \"Lasses\" White, Fred Scott, Archie Twitchell, Gordon De Main, Charles Phipps, Monte Montague, Joe Bernard, Frank Fanning, Frank Ellis, Robert Kortman, Lloyd Ingraham, Spade Cooley.

Marshals Lash and Fuzzy are assigned to protect the new territorial governor whose life is threatened by an outlaw gang. Tacky production with long, boring sequences of little action; lots of footage from previous Lash LaRue Screen Guild efforts.\n\n**4409** _ **Thundering Trails**_ **** Republic, 1943. 56 min. D: John English. SC: Norman S. Hall and Robert Yost. With Bob Steele, Tom Tyler, Jimmie Dodd, Nell O'Day, Vince Barnett, Karl Hackett, Sam Flint, Charles F.

A reformed outlaw becomes the sheriff of a community but is soon blackmailed by his former gang. Pretty fair third version of two previous Buck Jones features, _**The Lone Rider**_ (1930) and _**The Man Trailer**_ (qq.v.).\n\n**4411** _ **A Ticket to Tomahawk**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1950. 90 min.

A rodeo stars seeks refuge as a wrangler at a dude ranch for women. The songs are okay but the plot is not much in this Elvis Presley vehicle.\n\n**4413** _ **Tide of Empire**_ **** Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1929. 73 min. D: Allan Dwan. SC: Waldemar Young and Joe Farnham. With Renee Adoree, George Duryea (Tom Keene\/Richard Powers), Fred Kohler, George Fawcett, William Collier, Jr., James Bradbury, Jr., Harry Gribbon, Paul Hurst, Buster Keaton, Gino Corrado, Eric Mayne. During the California Gold Rush a cowboy wins a ranch in a horse race and then gives it to the former owner's daughter, with whom he has fallen in love. Not uninteresting silent feature with sound effects; Fred Kohler is quite good as the villain. Some footage was shot with Joan Crawford in the lead before she was replaced by Renee Adoree.\n\n**4414** _ **Tierra Baja**_ (Low Land) **** Laguna Films, 1951. 90 min. D: Miguel Zacarias.

Two U.S. marshals look into claims a wild stallion is behind crimes caused by rustlers and they pretend to be timber tramps to investigate lumber camp thefts. More than passable theatrical paste-up composed of the \"Lumber Camp Story\" and \"Rustling Stallion\" episodes of \"The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok\" (1951\u201358).\n\n**4421** _ **Timber Fury**_ **** Eagle-Lion, 1950. 63 min.

A man trained by his father to be a fast gun travels though the West, saving a young woman from a prostitution ring only to be forced to marry her by Judge Roy Bean. Filmed in 1969 and produced by Audie Murphy (who does an excellent cameo as Jesse James), this obscure oater got some release in 1982 and is interesting viewing for Budd Boetticher followers; Victory Jory is enjoyably hammy as Bean.\n\n**4430** _ **A Time for Every Season**_ **** Gold Key, 1972. 95 min. Color. A man and a young boy become the first to explore the awesome Alaskan Tundra, marveling at its dangers and beauty.

Near the end of the Civil War several Confederate prisoners escape from their Union captors and take the captain's fiancee as a hostage.

While competing in a cross country bike contest, a rider gets caught in a time transference experiment and is sent back to the West of the 1870s where he encounters outlaws.

Two families carry out a long standing feud from Kentucky to Nevada. Excellently told, well made drama based on Zane Grey's novel. Among the highlights are Esther Ralston's raw sex appeal and the murder of a family member played by Buster Crabbe; recommended.

Miller, John War Eagle, Regis Toomey, Sheila Darcy, Chief American Horse, Chief Bad Bear, Harry Townes, Floyd Sparks, David Miller, Harry Peterson. Scout Jim Bridger tries to avoid violence when the government fails to heed his warnings about letting settlers into Sioux Indian territory.

Costanza, Michelle Beauchamp, Robert Mitchum (narrator). Returning to Tombstone, famed lawman Wyatt Earp teams with his brother Virgil and Doc Holliday for a showdown with the Clanton bunch.

A cowpoke is mistaken for an outlaw and tries to prove his rightful identity. Average Bob Steele outing for producer A.W. Hackel, which means lots of action and good entertainment for his fans.\n\n**4456** _ **Tombstone, the Town Too Tough to Die**_ **** Paramount, 1942. 80 min. D: William McGann. SC: Albert Shelby Le Vino and Edward E. Paramore.

When a gunfight accidentally results in the killing of a child, Wyatt Earp agrees to become the sheriff of Tombstone and clean up the town. Another re-telling of the Earp saga, no more historically accurate than the others but still worth watching.\n\n**4457** _ **Tonka**_ **** Buena Vista, 1958. 97 min. Color. D: Lewis R. Foster.

A young Indian brave captures and tames a wild horse but the animal is claimed by his cruel cousin and sold to the cavalry. Fair Disney film that evolves into a tepid retelling of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. TV title: _**A Horse Called Comanche**_.\n\n**4458** _ **Tonto Basin Outlaws**_ **** Monogram, 1941. 60 min.

Stanford Jolley, Artie Ortego, Cactus Mack, Dee Cooper, Wally West, Ray Jones. An outlaw plans to get revenge on the stage line superintendent who sent him to jail but is opposed by a U.S. marshal.

Framed and sent to prison, a man gets out vowing revenge on his enemies and ends up the sheriff of a community harassed by his old gang.

A member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is hunting the man who murdered his pal. Surprisingly poor adaptation of James Oliver Curwood's _Caryl of the Mountains_ , filmed under that title in 1914, starring Tom Santschi and Kathlyn Williams, and again in 1936 (q.v.).\n\n**4523** _ **The Train Robbers**_ **** Warner Bros., 1973. 92 min.

Following the Civil War a Confederate veteran comes home to the terrible aftermath of the conflict and finds his stern-willed father wants to keep the crusade alive.

A mobster and his gang take over a remote Western community as his lawyer must confront the town sheriff and deputy, his estranged father and drunken brother.

When his brother is murdered a cowboy believes a neighboring rancher committed the crime to get his sibling's land but he cannot prove it because the suspect is a helpless invalid.

With Rory Calhoun, Shelley Winters, Gilbert Roland, Joseph Calleia, Fanny Schiller, Tony Carvajal, Pasquel Pena, Carlos Mosquiz.

Frontiersman Old Shatterhand and his Indian blood brother Winnetou try to stop the pillage of Indian lands by crooks looking for secreted treasure.

In 1864 Mexico both the followers of Benito Juarez and Emperor Maxmillian search for lost Aztec treasure in order to use the riches for their causes. Pretty exciting West German film hurt by being cut to 90 minutes and dubbed for U.S. TV. German title: _**Der Schatz der Aztecan**_ (The Treasure of the Aztecs) and also called _**Mercenaries of the Rio Grande**_ ; followed by _**Pyramid of the Sun God**_ (q.v.) the same year.\n\n**4543** _ **The Treasure of the Sierra Madre**_ **** Warner Bros., 1948. 126 min.

Three men head into the mountains of Mexico looking for gold but one of them is turned into a madman by greed. A bit overlong, but still near-classic screen version of B. Traven's novel with fine photography (by Ted McCord) and some magnificent character work, specifically Walter Huston's old prospector, Barton MacLane as the big-mouth McCormick, and Alfonso Bedoya's maniac, Gold Hat.

Two outlaws carry out a series of bank robberies but they can never keep the loot since one of them is always giving it away.

When the James gang fails in its bank holdup at Northfield, Minnesota, the story of Jesse and Frank is told by those who knew them. Psychological approach to the James brothers works fairly well but one gets tired of all the flashbacks.\n\n_**The True Story of...the Cowboy**_ see _**The Cowboy**_\n\n**4580** _ **The Trumpet Blows**_ **** Paramount, 1934. 72 min.

Alyn Warren, Joyce Compton, Charles Stevens, Hooper Atchley, Alan Bridge, Mischa Auer. The younger brother of a Mexican bandit wants to be a bullfighter but he falls for his sibling's dancer girlfriend. Unbelievably poor melodrama with Adolphe Menjou as a Pancho Villa-type.\n\n**4581** _ **The Trusted Outlaw**_ **** Republic, 1937. 60 min. D: Robert North Bradbury.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto try to help an innocent man, stop an old lady from inciting an Indian massacre and assist a Chinese laundryman fight discrimination in a small town. Well done telefeature culled from \"The Lone Ranger\" (ABC-TV, 1949\u201357) episodes \"The Banker's Son,\" \"The Law and Miss Aggie\" and \"Letter Bride.\"\n\n**4583** _ **Tu Vida Contra Mi Vida**_ (My Life Against Your Life) **** Producciones Potusi\/Peliculas Mexicanas, 1979. 95 min. Color. D: Alfred Martinez. With Juan Gallardo, Rosenda Bernal, Luis de Alba, Pedro Weber, Carlos Lopez Moctezuma, Mario Cid. A rancher and a gangster vie for the hand of a beautiful woman.

Two corrupt men, a banker and governor, try to get control of a territory but are thwarted by Red Ryder, Gabby and Little Beaver, but not until after Red is falsely accused of murder. A mediocre plot, but lots of action in this \"Red Ryder\" adventure, the first in the long running Republic series.\n\n**4585** _ **Tulsa**_ **** Eagle-Lion\/Path\u00e9 Industries, 1949. 90 min.

Kemp, Harold Miller, Carl M. Leviness, George Meader, Wilbur Mack, David McMahon, Renny McEvoy, Bill Hickman. A beautiful woman becomes a wealthy oil wildcatter but her greed for riches almost costs her the man she loves.

A young rancher almost loses his spread in a dispute with a famous gunfighter, who is really his father. Exciting Don Barry film with Noah Beery stealing the show as a likable gunman.

A college student suffers a fall and reverts back to a former time when his ancestor was one of the Range Busters opposed to a crooked politician and his saloon keeper henchman.

When Indians attack a wagon train and massacre its passengers, a guard hides two women, goes to the chief to negotiate peace and is later blamed for the killings. Despite its premise, this is a rather tame Audie Murphy feature.\n\n**4589** _ **Tumbleweed Trail**_ **** Producers Releasing Corporation, 1942. 57 min. D: Peter Stewart (Sam Newfield).

Three Texas lawmen are after the man who murdered their pal and they trace him to a town run by a corrupt peace keeper.

Carpenter, Joe Girard, Leonard Slye (Roy Rogers), Tom Smith. A medicine show entertainer returns home to find out who killed his father after his best friend is accused of the crime.

Adopted by a rancher, an Indian boy grows up to fall in love with the man's daughter who is wanted by a politician out to ruin her father.

Suffering from amnesia, a man opposes a corrupt land baron who forces poor Mexican to work his spread, although the bad guy may be his brother.

Parole officer Roy Rogers, assigned to a ranch employing prisoners, gets mixed up with crooks making counterfeit money and is falsely accused of murdering one of the gang. Fairly well done Roy Rogers entry, but not too interesting.\n\n**4598** _ **Twilight on the Prairie**_ **** Universal, 1944. 62 min. D: Jean Yarbrough. SC: Clyde Bruckman. With Johnny Downs, Vivian Austin, Eddie Quillan, Connie Haines, Leon Errol, Jack Teagarden and His Orchestra, Milburn Stone, Jimmie Dodd, Olin Howland, Perc Launders, Dennis Moore, Ralph Peters, Glenn Strange, Al Sloey, Foy Willing and The Riders of the Purple Sage, The Eight Buckaroos. On their way to Hollywood to break into the movies, members of a cowboy band get stranded on a ranch and agree to work there through harvest time. Plenty of songs fill this typically glossy Universal program feature.\n\n**4599** _ **Twilight on the Rio Grande**_ **** Republic, 1947. 71 min. D: Frank McDonald. SC: Dorrell McGowan and Stuart McGowan. With Gene Autry, Adele Mara, Sterling Holloway, Bob Steele, George J.

Gene Autry becomes involved with a gang of jewel thieves and a beautiful knife thrower. Not even a fine cast can save this slow moving Gene Autry vehicle which plays better in its 54 minute truncated TV version.\n\n**4600** _ **Twilight on the Trail**_ **** Paramount, 1941. 58 min. D: Howard Bretherton. SC: J. Benton Cheney, Ellen Corby and Cecile Kramer.

In order to round up a gang of rustlers, Hopalong Cassidy masquerades as a dandified Englishman. Just an average outing in the long running series, co-written by actress Ellen Corby.\n\n**4601** _ **Twinkle in God's Eye**_ **** Republic, 1955. 75 min. D: George Blair. SC: P.J. Wolfson.

Blake, Frank Kreig, Vicki Raaf, Renate Hoy, Shirley Whitney, Dan White, Dick Winslow, Rodd Redwing, Charles Williams, Harry Tyler, James Rawley, Milton Newberger, Sig Frohlich. In a tough Western town, the new parson tries to spread the world of the Lord via humor. A pleasant enough little feature but a bit sad to contemplate considering the cinematic stature of Mickey Rooney, who produced it, just a decade before.\n\n**4602** _ **Twisted Rails**_ **** Imperial, 1934. 51 min. D: Albert (Al) Herman. SC: L.V. Jefferson.

Following the shooting of an informant, a railroad passenger offers to help a inspector find the killer and his gang who are after a gold shipment.

Wilson, Will Machin, Pat Chrisman, Sid Jordan, George Clark, Frank LeRoy, Olcott Byrnes. Two corrupt lawmen try to blame their cattle rustling operation on a ranch foreman in love with a girl wanted by a gambler. There is lots of action but a hard-to-follow plot in this Tom Mix feature made up of his 1916 Selig three reeler of the same title and padded with footage from some of his other short films.\n\n_**Two Against All**_ see _**Terrible Sheriff**_\n\n_**Two Brothers in Trinity**_ see _**Jesse and Lester**_\n\n_**Two Fisted Agent**_ see _**Bonanza Town**_\n\n**4604** _ **Two Fisted Justice**_ **** Arrow, 1924. 50 min. D: Dick Hatton. SC: Bennett Cohen. With Dick Hatton, Marilyn Mills, Morris Foster, Arthur Morrison, Star (horse). A cowpoke seeking revenge for the murder of his doctor brother ends up falling in love with the killer's wife.

With Tom Tyler, Barbara Weeks, Bobby Nelson, Yakima Canutt, John Elliott, G.D.

The Range Busters arrive in a town to bring an outlaw gang to justice and after a run-in with the leader of the band they are made the community's lawmen.

With Tim McCoy, Alice Day, Wheeler Oakman, John Wayne, Wallace MacDonald, Tully Marshall, Richard Alexander, Walter Brennan, Merrill McCormick, Bud Osborne, Arthur Thalasso, Jack Hendricks, Hank Bell, Jack Evans, Rube Dalroy. Cheated out of his ranch a man makes a gold strike and returns home to try and save the property of a young woman being threatened by the same crook who stole his spread. Generally good Tim McCoy vehicle, based on a William Colt MacDonald story, with fine photography by Benjamin Kline. John Wayne has a small role as one of McCoy's loyal ranch hands.\n\n**4608** _ **Two-Fisted Rangers**_ **** Columbia, 1940. 62 min. D: Joseph H. Lewis. SC: Fred Myton.

A lawman loses his job when his pal is accused of killing his girl's father and is allowed to escape and he tries to find the real killer and clear his friend. Okay Charles Starrett vehicle enhanced by a superb supporting cast.\n\n**4610** _ **Two-Fisted Stranger**_ **** Columbia, 1945. 51 min. D: Ray Nazarro. SC: Robert Lee Johnson. With Charles Starrett, Smiley Burnette, Doris Houck, Zeke Clements, Lane Chandler, Ted Mapes, George Chesebro, Jack Rockwell, Herman Hack, I. Stanford Jolley, Edmund Cobb, Davison Clark, Maudie Prickett, Nolan Leary, Frank Ellis, Frank O'Connor, Charles Murray, Jr., Matty Roubert, Herman Hack, Tommy Coats. Outlaws try to force miners off their claims but find opposition from the Durango Kid. Short, but not much of an effort in the popular series.

A lawman pretends to be a Mexican bandit, \"The Vulture,\" so he can round up the notorious Kane gang. Cheap, quick on action and shouldered with an obtrusive canned music score, this Tim McCoy series film boasts two leading ladies, silent star Betty Compson and Joan Barclay.\n\n**4613** _ **Two Gun Lady**_ **** Associated Film Releasing, 1956. 75 min. D: Richard Bartlett. SC: Norman Jolley.

After being falsely accused of murder, a cowboy goes to Harlem where he pretends to be a minister turned gangster to expose the real killer. More gangster plotted than Western, this very low budget black cast musical feature was scripted by \"B\" film veteran Fred Myton; the first of a quartet of features headlining crooner Herb Jeffries, although he was not billed under that name in any of them.\n\n**4616** _ **Two Gun Marshal**_ **** Allied Artists, 1953. 54 min.

Wild Bill Hickok persuades his partner Jingles to masquerade as the wife of a peddler so they can find out who robbed a Wells Fargo stage and the two then go up against a family bent on not letting a son get an education.

An outlaw is drafted by a gang leader to take the place of a sheriff but the two men turn out to be brothers and the fugitive double crosses the bandits.

A young woman dressed as a man helps save Wild Bill Hickok when he is ambushed by gun runners and Bill and Jingles are assisted by a student as they investigate crooks after an underground spring.

An ex-convict is mistaken for a deputy sheriff when he arrives in town and soon finds himself up against a corrupt rancher while falling in love with the man's daughter.

A troubleshooter for the Union Pacific Railroad romances an engineer's daughter and tries to combat sabotage to the line in its competition with the Central Pacific for the completion of the first transcontinental tracks. Sprawling, and typically entertaining, Cecil B. DeMille epic.\n\n**4666** _ **Unknown Ranger**_ **** Aywon, 1920. 45 min. With Rex Ray, Marie Newall, Ben Hall. Texas Rangers are on the trail of a gang smuggling opium across the Mexican border. Fairly interesting silent outing, not only for its plot but because the villain escapes at the end.\n\n**4667** _ **Unknown Ranger**_ **** Columbia, 1936. 58 min. D: Spencer Gordon Bennet. SC: Nate Gatzert. With Bob Allen, Martha Tibbetts, Harry Woods, Hal Taliaferro, Buzzy Henry, Edward Hearn, Robert Kortman, Lew Meehan, Bob McKenzie, Art Mix, Oscar Gahan, Rudy Sooter, Robert Hoag, Francis Walker, Ray Henderson, Al Taylor, Buck Moulton, Merrill McCormick, Tex Palmer, Allan Cavan, Cactus Mack, Bud McClure, Bob Card, Henry Hall, Art Dillard, Jack King, Horace B. Carpenter, Eva McKenzie, Bud Jamison, Rube Dalroy. Rustlers plan to use a wild stallion to steal a rancher's horse herd but a cowhand, actually a ranger, gets wind of the plan. Bob Allen's first series film is a good one and in it Hal Taliaferro (Wally Wales) sings a novelty tune.\n\n**4668** _ **Unknown Valley**_ **** Columbia, 1933. 69 min. D-SC: Lambert Hillyer. With Buck Jones, Cecilia Parker, Bert Black, Carlotta Warwick, Arthur Wanzer, Wade Boteler, Frank McGlynn, Charles Thurston, Ward Bond, Gaylord (Steve) Pendleton, Alf James, Frank Ellis. While searching for his father, an ex\u2013Army scout becomes lost in the desert and is rescued by a young woman belonging to a strange religious sect. Out-of-the-ordinary \"B\" Western that relies far more on its well written script than usual genre action; a very good film.\n\n**4669** _ **Unknown Wilderness**_ **** American National Enterprises, 1973. 94 min. Color. D: Austin Green. SC: Roger Davis and Austin Green. Two teenage boys learn to survive in the mountain wilderness of Montana and Wyoming as they search for the legendary treasure of Frenchy Latrek.

With Debbie Reynolds, Harve Presnell, Ed Begley, Jack Kruschen, Hermoine Baddeley, Martita Hunt, Vassili Lambrinos, Fred Essler, Harvey Lembeck, Kathryn Card, Hayden Rorke, Harry Holcombe, Amy Douglas, George Mitchell, Vaughn Taylor, Anthony Eustrel, Audrey Christie, Lauren Gilbert. In the late 1880s an orphan marries a miner and they strike it rich but are snubbed in Denver but go to Europe where they become the toast of society.

An alcoholic New York City surgeon goes to the north woods to recover and decides to stay after falling in love with his guide's pretty wife.

SC: Talbot Jennings, Frank Fenton and Michael Blankfort.

In South Africa a Dutchman saves a wagon train of settlers from a Zulu attack and falls in love with the wife of a man killed in the skirmish. Entertaining melodrama with beautiful South African scenery although the plot tends more toward Susan Hayward's character than Tyrone Power's, a man who wants to set up a Dutch state.\n\n**4673** _ **The Untamed Breed**_ **** Columbia, 1948. 79 min. Color. D: Charles Lamont. SC: Tom Reed. With Sonny Tufts, Barbara Britton, George \"Gabby\" Hayes, Barbara Britton, William Bishop, George E.

Burns, Louis Mason, Symona Boniface, Richard Gordon, Phil Schumacher. Hoping to improve their herds, ranchers along the Pecos River in Texas go along with a cattleman's plan to purchase a Brahma bull.

With Joseph Cotten, Shelley Winters, Scott Brady, Suzan Ball, Minor Watson, Katherine Emery, Antonio Moreno, Douglas Spencer, John Alexander, Richard Garland, Lee Van Cleef, Robert Anderson, Fess Parker, Edmund Cobb, Jose Torvay, Ray Bennett, Beatrice Gray, Alex Montoya, Forrest Taylor, Clem Fuller, Brick Sullivan, Connie Vera, Bob Burns, Joe Dominguez, Emile Avery, Forrest Burns, John Davidson, Carl Andre, Carlos Albert, Monte Montague, Lalo Rios, Bob Reeves, Mike Lally, Leo J. McMahon, Jennings Miles, David Janssen, Henry A. Escalante, Henry Orozco, Tom Smith, Denver Dixon, Mary Bayless. A wealthy cattle baron uses any means he can to stop settlers from taking free government land which he wants for his herds.

With Judy Canova, Donald Barry, Taylor Holmes, George Cleveland, Chick Chandler, Jack Kruschen, Hugh Sanders, Douglas Fowley, William Haade, Ellen Corby, James Flavin, Tweeny Canova, Dick Wessel. A millionaire hires two talent agents to locate a woman who once gave him money and they find out she has died and her daughter is in an orphanage. Typical Judy Canova comedy that will appeal to her fans.\n\n**4676** _ **Until They Get Me**_ **** Triangle, 1917. 58 min. D: Frank Borgaze. SC: Kenneth B. Clark. With Pauline Starke, Jack Curtis, Joe King, Wilbur Higby, Anna Dodge, Walter Perry. A Mountie arrests a man for murder but he escapes and years later a young woman the policeman sets free from a life of drudgery helps him find the escapee and together they prove his innocence. Competent silent drama without a lot of action.\n\n_**Up Like a Shot!**_ see _**Blazing Stewardesses**_\n\n**4677** _ **Up River**_ **** Arcade, 1979. 90 min. Color. D: Carl Kitt. SC: Carol Hummel.

The seven MacGregor brothers are after an outlaw gang that stole all their families' possessions. Pleasant sequel to _**Seven Guns for the MacGregors**_ (q.v.) and, like its predecessor, less violent and more amusing than most of its ilk. Released in Italy in 1966 as _**Sette Donne per I MacGregor**_ (Seven Women for the MacGregors) by Produzione D.S.\/Jolly\/Talia Film.\n\n**4679** _ **Uphill All the Way**_ **** New World, 1985. 91 min.

In 1916 Texas two con men are mistaken for notorious bank robbers and chased across the desert by a posse. Stars Roy Clark and Mel Tillis served as executive producers on this weak Western comedy in which Burt Reynolds appears unbilled as a gambler.\n\n**4680** _ **Uranium Boom**_ **** Columbia, 1956. 67 min. D: William Castle. SC: George W. Greene. With Dennis Morgan, Patricia Medina, William Talman, Tina Carver, Philip Van Zandt, Bill Henry, Gregg Barton, Mel Curtis, Henry Rowland, S. John Launer, Michael Bryant, Frank Wilcox, Ralph Sanford, Carlyle Mitchell, Nick Tell. A former lumberjack teams with a mining engineer to locate uranium in Colorado only to marry his partner's ex-fiancee, causing a rift between the two men. Mediocre program feature from producer Sam Katzman.\n\n**4681** _ **Utah**_ **** Republic, 1945. 78 min. D: John English. SC: Jack Townley. With Roy Rogers, George \"Gabby\" Hayes, Dale Evans, Peggy Stewart, Beverly Lloyd, Grant Withers, Hal Taliaferro, Bob Nolan and The Sons of the Pioneers (Tim Spencer, Ken Carson, Shug Fisher, Hugh Farr, Karl Farr), Jack Rutherford, Emmett Vogan, Ed Cassidy, Vivien Oakland, Jill Browning, Ralph Colby, Forrest Taylor, Horace B. Carpenter. Roy and Gabby try to stop an out of work show girl from selling the ranch she inherited to sheep herders. Fairly entertaining but shackled with a dull finale production number.\n\n**4682** _ **Utah Blaine**_ **** Columbia, 1957. 75min. D: Fred F. Sears. SC: Robert E. Kent and James B. Gordon. With Rory Calhoun, Susan Cummings, Max Baer, Angela Stevens, Paul Langton, George Keymas, Ray Teal, Gene Roth, Terry Frost, Dennis Moore, Jack Ingram, Steve Darrell, Norman Frederic (Dean Fredericks), Ken Christy. A gunman helps a rancher who is being harassed by marauders out to control the territory.

With Rex Lease, Dorothy Sebastian, Tom Santschi, Mary Carr, Walter Miller, Lafe McKee, Boris Karloff, Bud Osborne, Art Mix, Wally Wales, Buffalo Bill, Jr., Fred Burns, Bud McClure, Al Taylor, Bob Burns, Chuck Baldra, Bob Card, Blackie Whiteford, Ralph Bucko, Roy Bucko. An outlaw returns to his gang's hideout to find a cohort trying to take advantage of a pretty school teacher who has wandered into their den and he defends and later marries her, although she is loved by the local sheriff. Rather interesting Rex Lease early talkie; Boris Karloff has a minor role as a gang member.\n\n**4684** _ **The Utah Kid**_ **** Monogram, 1944. 54 min. D: Vernon Keays. SC: Victor Hammond. With Bob Steele, Hoot Gibson, Beatrice Gray, Evelyn Eaton, Ralph Lewis, Mauritz Hugo, Jameson Shade, Mike G. Letz, Dan White, Bud Osborne, George Morrell, Al Ferguson, Lew Meehan, Earle Hodgins, Herman Hack, Jack Evans. A U.S. marshal and his new deputy investigate a gang that always wins the events on a rodeo circuit. An abundance of rodeo stock footage does not help this rather rag-tag dual bill effort; a remake of _**The Man from Utah**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4685** _ **Utah Trail**_ **** Grand National, 1937. 57 min. D: Albert (Al) Herman. SC: Edmund Kelso. With Tex Ritter, Adele Pearce (Pamela Blake), Dave O'Brien, Horace Murphy, Snub Pollard, Karl Hackett, Charles King, Ed Cassidy, Bud Osborne, Lynton Brent, Rudy Sooter and Tex Ritter's Tornados, Oscar Gahan, Ray Jones, Denver Dixon, George Morrell, Horace B. Carpenter, Herman Hack, Chick Hannon. An investigator is hired by the railroad to locate a stolen cattle train and find out who is sabotaging the company's property. Tex Ritter's final Grand National release is a ragged affair with average tunes. British title: _**Trail to Utah**_.\n\n**4686** _ **Utah Wagon Train**_ **** Republic, 1951. 67 min. D: Philip Ford. SC: John K. Butler. With Rex Allen, Penny Edwards, Buddy Ebsen, Roy Barcroft, Sarah Padden, Grant Withers, Arthur Space, Edwin Rand, Robert Karnes, William Holmes, Stanley Andrews, Frank Jenks, Forrest Taylor. A rancher gets himself made trail boss of a modern-day wagon train party searching for the route West used a century before by their ancestors, in order to find out who murdered his uncle, the group's original guide.

With Freddie Stewart, June Preisser, Frankie Darro, Warren Mills, Noel Neill, Milton Kibbee, Belle Mitchell, John Hart, Hugh Prosser, Terry Frost, Edythe Elliott, Claire James, Forrest Taylor, Spade Cooley Band, Jerry Wald and His Orchestra.

A gunman forced into a shootout is hunted by a posse and he plans to turn the tables on his trackers. Average drama filmed in Spain, based on Elmore Leonard's book.\n\n_**Valentine Lazan, El Ratero de las Pobres**_ see _**El Ratero de las Pobres**_\n\n**4689** _ **Valerie**_ **** United Artists, 1957. 84 min.

A man's wife is wounded and her parents murdered with the trial for the crimes becoming a conflicting affair until the woman agrees to testify. A different kind of oater although it hardly seems worth the effort.\n\n**4690** _ **The Valiant Hombre**_ **** United Artists, 1948. 61 min. D: Wallace Fox. SC: Adele Buffington. With Duncan Renaldo, Leo Carrillo, Barbara Billingsley, John Litel, John James, Lee \"Lasses\" White, Stanley Andrews, Guy Beach, Gene Roth, Terry Frost, Frank Ellis, Ralph Peters, Herman Hack, George DeNormand, Ed Peil, Sr., Hank Bell, Bert Dillard, George Morrell, Rube Dalroy, Daisy (dog).

A cowpoke returns home to find his uncle dead and himself accused of taking money the deceased embezzled. Standard, but entertaining Johnny Mack Brown feature with a good mystery element.\n\n**4692** _ **Valley of Fire**_ **** Columbia, 1951. 70 min. D: John English. SC: Earle Snell. With Gene Autry, Pat Buttram, Gail Davis, Russell Hayden, Christine Larsen, Harry Lauter, Terry Frost, Riley Hill, Barbara Stanley, Duke York, Bud Osborne, Teddy Infur, Victor Sen Yung, Gregg Barton, Sandy Sanders, Fred Sherman, James Magill, Frankie Marvin, Pat O'Malley, Wade Crosby, William Fawcett, Syd Saylor, John Miller, Marjorie Liszt. In the town of Quantz Creek in the 1850s sheriff Gene Autry runs off a crooked gambler and his cohorts and the bad man vows revenge by trying to hijack a wagon train bringing brides to the community. Pretty good Gene Autry vehicle in which he sings \"On Top of Old Smoky.\"\n\n**4693** _ **The Valley of Gwangi**_ **** Warner Bros.-Seven Arts, 1969. 95 min. Color. D: James O'Connolly. SC: William E. Bast. With James Franciscus, Gila Golan, Richard Carlson, Laurence Naismith, Curtis Arden, Freda Jackson, Gustavo Rojo, Dennis Kibane, Marion De Barrros, Jose Burgos. In Mexico a cowboy finds a hidden valley and with his men is able to lasso a huge dinosaur they try to exhibit in a small circus. Basically dull combination of Western and sci-fi genres with fine special effects by Ray Harryhausen; Gwangi is a very likable monster.\n\n**4694** _ **Valley of Hate**_ **** Russell Productions, 1924. 63 min. D: Russell Allen. SC: George Hively. With Raymond McKee, Helen Ferguson, Earl Metcalfe, Wilfred Lucas, Ralph Yearsley, Helen Lynch, Frank Whitson. After inheriting property in a remote mountain area, a rich man goes there, is mistaken for a revenue agent and falls in love with a young woman, a moonshiner's ward. The scenery is the best part of this somewhat overwrought melodrama.\n\n**4695** _ **Valley of Hunted Men**_ **** Republic, 1942. 60 min. D: John English. SC: Albert DeMond and Morton Grant. With Bob Steele, Tom Tyler, Jimmie Dodd, Anna Marie Stewart, Edward Van Sloan, Roland Varno, Edythe Elliott, Arno Frey, Richard French, Kenne Duncan, Jack Kirk, Budd Buster, Hal Price, Rand Brooks, Billy Benedict, George Neise, Robert Stevenson, Duke Aldon, Charles Flynn, Mickey Rentschler, Hank Worden, Oscar \"Dutch\" Hendrian, Charles Flynn, Louis Adlon, Arvon Dale, John Frazer, Kermit Maynard, Jack O'Shea, Tex Terry, Bob Card, Charles Graham, Henry Morris, James Mitchell, Rose Plummer. Three cowboys are trailing an escaped Nazi posing as the nephew of a scientist working on a formula for making rubber from culebra plants. Topical outing in \"The Three Mesquiteers\" series, not very dated and still entertaining.\n\n**4696** _ **Valley of Terror**_ **** Ambassador, 1937. 59 min. D: Al Herman. SC: Stanley Roberts. With Kermit Maynard, Harley Wood, John Merton, Jack Ingram, Dick Curtis, Roger Williams, Frank McCarroll, Hank Bell, Hal Price, Slim Whitaker, George Morrell, Blackie Whiteford, Herman Hack, Jack Casey, Jack Evans, Tex Cooper, Ray Henderson. A crook is after mineral deposits on a woman's ranch and he has her boyfriend framed on a rustling charge to get him out of the way.

A lumberman, with the help of a saloon girl, fights a rival who wants to take timber and destroy the north woods in the process. Highly entertaining melodrama based on Peter B. Kyne's novel, first filmed in 1919 by Artcraft-Paramount with Wallace Reid and remade by Warner Bros. in 1927 starring Milton Sills. A fourth version was done as _**The Big Trees**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4698** _ **Valley of the Lawless**_ **** Supreme, 1936. 59 min. D-SC: Robert North Bradbury. With Johnny Mack Brown, Joyce Compton, George Hayes, Frank Hagney, Denny Meadows (Dennis Moore), Bobby Nelson, Charles King, Jack Rockwell, Frank Ball, Forrest Taylor, Blackie Whiteford, Horace Murphy, Steve Clark, Ed Cassidy, Bob McKenzie, George Morrell, Jack Kirk, Jack Evans, Milburn Morante, Francis Walker, Fred Parker, Anita Carmago, Clyde McClary, Bud Pope, Buck Morgan, Tex Phelps, Rube Dalroy. To retrieve a gold map for which his grandfather was killed, a cowboy must penetrate an area used as a refuge by outlaws.

With Lucille Ball, James Craig, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Dean Jagger, Peter Whitney, Billy Gilbert, Tom Tyler, Antonio Moreno, George Cleveland, Hank Bell, Richard Fiske, Don Terry, Chris Willow Bill, Fern Emmett, Al St. John, Harry Lamont, Al Ferguson, Chester Conklin, Ed Brady, Lloyd Ingraham, Frank Coleman, Francis McDonald, Harry Hayden, Bud Osborne, Steve Clemento, Chester Clute, Tom London, George Melford, Carleton Young, Robert Kortman, Stanley Andrews, Lloyd Ingraham, Ethan Laidlaw, John Cason, Pat Moriarty, George Lloyd, Iron Eyes Cody, Jay Silverheels. A government agent pretends to be a renegade scout to get the goods on a crooked Indian agent in the Arizona Territory. The cast is the best thing about this slow moving melodrama; Tom Tyler superbly plays Geronimo.\n\n**4701** _ **Valley of Vanishing Men**_ **** Columbia, 1942. 15 Chapters. D: Spencer Gordon Bennet. SC: Harry Fraser, George Grey and Lewis Clay. With Bill Elliott, Slim Summerville, Carmen Morales, Kenneth MacDonald, Jack Ingram, George Chesebro, John Shay, Tom London, Arno Frey, Julian Rivero, Roy Barcroft, I.

A cowboy and his pal search for the man's missing prospector father and they learn he and others are held as slaves in a mine operated by an outlaw and a renegade European general who plan to overthrow the Juarez government in Mexico. Bill Elliott's final Columbia assignment is a cheap, dull cliffhanger.\n\n**4702** _ **Valley of Vengeance**_ **** Producers Releasing Corporation, 1944. 57 min. D: Sam Newfield. SC: Joseph O'Donnell. With Buster Crabbe, Al St. John, Evelyn Finley, Glenn Strange, Donald Mayo, Charles King, John Merton, Lynton Brent, Jack Ingram, Bud Osborne, Nora Bush, Steve Clark, David Polonsky, Budd Buster, Ben Corbett, Artie Ortego, John Cason, Tex Cooper, Wally West, George Morrell, Herman Hack, Buck Bucko, Pascale Perry, Morgan Flowers, Ray Henderson, Merrill McCormick, Tom Smith, Hank Bell, Ed Cassidy, Jimmy Aubrey, Jess Cavin, Dan White, Curley Dresden, Carl Mathews. Years after their parents were murdered in a wagon train massacre, Billy Carson and Fuzzy Q. Jones stumble onto the gang responsible for the killings in a small town.

With Scott Brady, Audrey Totter, Forrest Tucker, Gene Lockhart, Jim Davis, John Dierkes, Gloria Castillo, Julian Rivero, Lee Van Cleef, George Keymas, Charles Stevens, Jay Silverheels, James Millican, Glenn Strange, Francis McDonald, Hank Worden, Fred Graham. When crooks attempt to steal land belonging to the Navajo Indians, a brave tries to stop them. Republic's remake of the silent classic is only average, due mainly to budget restrictions.\n\n**4706** _ **The Vanishing Frontier**_ **** Paramount, 1932. 65 min. D: Phil Rosen. SC: Stuart Anthony. With Johnny Mack Brown, Evalyn Knapp, ZaSu Pitts, J. Farrell MacDonald, Raymond Hatton, Wallace MacDonald, Ben Alexander, George Irving, Joyzelle Joyner, Deacon McDaniels.

The mysterious \"Voice\" and his gang frame a man on a murder charge as they try to take over an oil company. Fun Mascot cliffhanger with a good cast and lots of action; also issued in a feature version.

A Pinkerton agent enlists the assistance of Lash and Fuzzy in stopping a notorious outlaw gang. Rag-tag Lash LaRue vehicle hurt by excessive use of footage from previous series features such as _**Mark of the Lash**_ , _**Outlaw Country**_ , _**Son of a Badman**_ and _**Son of Billy the Kid**_ (qq.v.).\n\n_**Vanishing Pioneer**_ see _**Rocky Mountain Mystery**_\n\n**4710** _ **The Vanishing Prairie**_ **** Buena Vista, 1954. 75 min.

D: Philip Ford. SC: Bob Williams.

Two wanted cowpokes are sent by a sheriff to a rancher to get jobs, but the lawman is really a killer who plans to use them as a front for his robbery activities and then have them murdered. A complicated scenario and plenty of action keep this Monte Hale outing moving at a fast clip.\n\n**Poster for** _**The Vanishing Westerner**_ **(Republic, 1950).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**4713** _ **Vanishing Wilderness**_ **** Pacific International, 1974. 90 min.

Following the Civil War an ex\u2013Confederate returns home and works undercover to get the goods on corrupt local officials.

An insurance detective investigates a stage payroll robbery and finds the murdered driver with the dead man's dog holding the clue to his killing.

After his family is massacred, rancher Joaquin Murietta begins raiding gold shipments and eventually teams with a ranger who has been sent to capture him and together they try to stop the gang responsible for the murders. Final pairing of Bill Elliott and Tex Ritter treads very lightly on history but Tex sings \"Along the Trail Somewhere\" and \"Only Yesterday.\" A remake of _**The Avenger**_ (1931) [q.v.].\n\n**4724** _ **Vengeance Trail**_ **** Filme Cinematografica, 1972. 98 min. Color. D: William Redford (Pasquale Squittieri). SC: Monica (Venturini) Felt and William Redford.

Seeking revenge for the murder of his parents by Indians, a man kidnaps a tribal maiden, planning to sell her but ends up falling in love with the girl, and tries to save her when she is abducted by outlaws.

A ranch foreman tries to protect his no-good foster brother until he fathers an illegitimate child and tries to palm hit off as his, thus leading to a showdown between the two men.

An escaped convict plans to murder the Lone Ranger and Tonto as they also try to help an ex-prisoner and stop an Indian uprising. Action filled TV movie from the episodes \"Courage of Tonto,\" \"A Message for Abe\" and \"Two Against Two\" from \"The Adventures of the Lone Ranger\" (ABC-TV, 1949\u201357).\n\n**4727** _ **Vera Cruz**_ **** United Artists, 1954. 94 min.

In 1866 Mexico two mercenaries agree to accompany a countess to Vera Cruz since she is carrying a gold shipment for Emperor Maximilian's forces. Nicely photographed (by Ernest Laszlo) but mundane melodrama.\n\n**4728** _ **Via Pony Express**_ **** Majestic, 1933. 60 min. D: Lewis D. Collins. SC: Lewis D. Collins and Oliver Drake. With Jack Hoxie, Marceline Day, Lane Chandler, Doris Hill, Julian Rivero, Charles K. French, Matthew Betz, Joe Girard, Ben Corbett, Yakima Canutt, Charles Le Moyne, Slim Whitaker, Bob Burns, Chuck Baldra, Frank Ellis, Olin Francis, Bud Pope. A pony express rider tries to help a woman whose land grant is coveted by outlaws. Poor Jack Hoxie series outing with the star overshadowed by Lane Chandler.\n\n**4729** _ **The Vigilante**_ **** Columbia, 1947. 15 Chapters. D: Wallace Fox. SC: George H. Plympton, Lewis Clay and Arthur Hoerl. With Ralph Byrd, Ramsay Ames, Lyle Talbot, George Offerman, Jr., Robert Barron, Hugh Prosser, Jack Ingram, Eddie Parker, George Chesebro, Edmund Cobb, Terry Frost, Frank Ellis, Frank Merlo, Bill Brauer, John Fostine, Ted Mapes, Al Ferguson, Bud Osborne, Wallace Fox, Lane Bradford, Emmett Lynn, Rusty Wescoatt, Pierce Lyden, Jack Chefe, Bob Duncan, Baynes Barron, Al Wyatt, Tex Palmer, George DeNormand, Ted Adams, Kermit Maynard, Knox Manning (narrator). A Western movie star, who also works as an undercover agent, goes to a dude ranch where a gang is after a mysterious string of pearls. The plot is outlandish but this is a fun cliffhanger, based on the _Action Comics_ character; reworked as _**Roar of the Iron Horse**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4730** _ **Vigilante Hideout**_ **** Republic, 1950. 60 min. D: Fred C. Brannon. SC: Richard Wormser. With Allan \"Rocky\" Lane, Eddy Waller, Virginia Herrick, Roy Barcroft, Cliff Clark, Don Haggerty, Paul Campbell, Guy Teague, Art Dillard, Chick Hannon, Bob Woodward. Ranchers plagued by a rash of cattle thefts call in a range detective to stop the rustlers. Fairly exciting outing in Allan Lane's \"Famous Westerns\" series.\n\n**4731** _ **Vigilante Terror**_ **** Allied Artists, 1953. 70 min. D: Lewis D. Collins. SC: Sid Theil. With Bill Elliott, Mary Ellen Kay, Myron Healey, Fuzzy Knight, I. Stanford Jolley, Henry Rowland, George Wallace, Zon Murray, Richard Avonde, Michael Colgan, Denver Pyle, Robert Bray, Al Haskell, John James, Stanley Price, Lee Roberts, Ted Mapes, Ray Jones. Masked vigilantes carry off a successful gold hijacking and put the blame on a storekeeper but a cowboy comes to his defense. The plot is nothing new but good acting and production values makes this Bill Elliott film a pleasing one.\n\n**4732** _ **The Vigilantes Are Coming**_ **** Republic, 1936. 12 Chapters. D: Mack V. Wright and Ray Taylor. SC: John Rathmell, Maurice Geraghty and Winston Miller.

In 1840 a man returns to his California home to find the ranch has been taken over by a general who is using Cossacks to help him in exploiting the land's gold and forming an empire. Outstanding Republic serial with a very fine cast; based on the Rudolph Valentino feature _**The Eagle**_ (United Artists, 1925), set in Russia.\n\n**4733** _ **Vigilantes of Boomtown**_ **** Republic, 1947. 56 min. D: R.G. Springsteen. SC: Earle Snell.

In 1897 in Carson City factions oppose the sanctioning of the heavyweight championship boxing bout between James J. Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons with Red Ryder getting into the fracas to keep the peace. Weak \"Red Ryder\" series effort that does not even bother to re-stage the famous fight which was also the subject of _**City of Badmen**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4734** _ **Vigilantes of Dodge City**_ **** Republic, 1944. 54 min. D: Wallace Grissell. SC: Norman S. Hall and Anthony Coldeway.

Carpenter, Post Park, Dale Van Sickel, Roy Bucko. In Dodge City a gang of outlaws try to destroy the Duchess's freight line but Red Ryder and Little Beaver come to her rescue.

Leaving the rangers when his brother is killed, a man pretends to be a bandit in order to infiltrate and bring in the gang. Russell Hayden fans will like this action feature complimented by Bob Wills and his musical gang.\n\n**4737** _ **Villa**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1958. 72 min. Color. D: James B. Clark. SC: Louis Vittes.

To find a better life for himself and his people, Pancho Villa turns to banditry and begins harassing Mexican soldiers. Mediocre accounting of the famous bandit's early years although Rodolfo Hoyos is good in the title role.\n\n**4738** _ **Villa Rides!**_ **** Paramount, 1968. 125 min. Color. D: Buzz Kulik. SC: Robert Towne and Sam Peckinpah. With Yul Brynner, Robert Mitchum, Charles Bronson, Grazia Buccella, Robert Viharo, Frank Wolff, Herbert Lom, Alexander Knox, Diana Lorys, Robert Carricart, Fernando Rey, Regina de Julian, Andres Monreal, Antonio Padilla Ruiz, John Ireland, Jill Ireland, Jose Maria Prada. An American gun runner, captured by the forces of Pancho Villa, joins the revolutionary in his assault against the Mexican government. There is more mayhem than melodrama in his over-wrought European Western imitation.\n\n**4739** _ **The Villain**_ **** Columbia, 1979. 93 min. Color. D: Hal Needham. SC: Robert O. Kane. With Kirk Douglas, Ann-Margret, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paul Lynde, Ruth Buzzi, Jack Elam, Strother Martin, Robert Tessier, Foster Brooks, Mel Tillis, Jan Eddy, Laura Lizer Sommers, Ray Bickel, Mel Todd, Jim Anderson, Dick Dickinson, Ron Duffy, Earl Smith. An outlaw tries to kidnap a beautiful young woman who has a muscle bound protector. Fast moving, but absurd, Western comedy.\n\n**4740** _ **The Violent Men**_ **** Columbia, 1955. 96 min. Color. D: Rudolph Mate. SC: Harry Kleiner. With Glenn Ford, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G. Robinson, Dianne Foster, Brian Keith, May Wynn, Warner Anderson, Basil Ruysdael, Lita Milan, Richard Jaeckel, James Westerfield, Jack Kelly, Willis Bouchey, Harry Shannon, Peter Hanson, Don C.

A Civil War veteran opposes a ruthless land baron who is trying to take over a fertile valley to expand his vast holdings. Another psychological Western from the 1950s, although this one has a bit more action than others of its ilk.\n\n**4741** _ **The Violent Ones**_ **** Feature Film Corporation of America, 1967. 96 min. Color. D: Fernando Lamas. SC: Doug Wilson and Charles Davis. With Fernando Lamas, Aldo Ray, Tommy Sands, David Carradine, Lisa Gaye, Melinda Marx. The sheriff of a New Mexico town has trouble controlling the Mexican population when three men are apprehended as suspects in the rape and murder of a young girl.

Escaping from a Southern prison camp, a Union soldier is sent to Virginia City to stop the shipment of gold to the Confederacy and falls for a pretty saloon singer who is a rebel spy. Pretty fair action drama based on historical fact.\n\n**4743** _ **The Virginian**_ **** Preferred Pictures, 1923. 60 min. D: Tom Forman. SC: Hope Loring and Louis D. Lighton. With Kenneth Harlan, Florence Vidor, Russell Simpson, Pat O'Malley, Raymond Hatton, Milton Ross, Sam Allen, Bert Hadley, Fred Gambold. A cowboy is forced to hang his best pal for stealing cattle and in doing so loses the affection of the girl he loves. Very good, and much underrated, second screen version (first filmed in 1914 by Paramount with Dustin Farnum) of Owen Wister's famous novel; well worth seeing.\n\n**4744** _ **The Virginian**_ **** Paramount, 1929. 90 min. D: Victor Fleming. SC: Edward E. Paramore, Jr. and Howard Estabrook. With Gary Cooper, Walter Huston, Richard Arlen, Mary Brian, Eugene Pallette, Chester Conklin, E.H. Calvert, Helen Ware, Victor Potel, Tex Young, Charles Stevens, Jack Pennick, George Chandler, Ernie Adams, Fred Burns, Randolph Scott. A cowboy fights with a bad man over a saloon girl and the crook later has the cowpoke's pal rustle cattle, causing him to be hanged by his friend. Flavorful early sound adaptation of the Owen Wister play and book that still holds up today; Richard Arlen is especially good as the tragic Steve and Mary Brian is the fetching leading lady.\n\n**4745** _ **The Virginian**_ **** Paramount, 1946. 87 min. Color. D: Stuart Gilmore. SC: Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. With Joel McCrea, Brian Donlevy, Sonny Tufts, Barbara Britton, Fay Bainter, Tom Tully, Henry O'Neill, Bill Edwards, William Frawley, Paul Guifoyle, Marc Lawrence, Vince Barnett, Stanley Andrews, Martin Garralaga, Willard Robertson, Ann Carter, Nana Bryant, James Burke, Esther Howard, Minerva Urecal, Josephine Whittel, Dorothy Ann Seese, Syd Saylor, Frances Morris, Paul Hurst, Dick Curtis, Robert Kortman, Al Ferguson, Wally West, Hank Bell, Teddy Infuhr, Harry Hayden, Arthur Loft, Edgar Dearing, Joseph Crehan, Buzz Henry, Betty Farrington, Perc Launders, Paul Hurst, Blackie Whiteford, Harry Lamont, Freddie Chapman, Larry Lawson, Tom Dillon, Jimmie Dundee, Al Murphy. A cowboy falls for a pretty girl but loses her when he hangs his pal after he joins a bad man in rustling cattle. A good cast and Technicolor cannot bring this fourth screen version of the novel above average. Owen Wister's 1902 work also spawned two television series, \"The Virginian\" (NBC-TV, 1962\u201370) and its sequel, \"The Men from Shiloh\" (NBC-TV, 1970\u201371).\n\n**4746** _ **The Virginian**_ **** Turner Network Television (TNT), 2000. 95 min.

Betrayed by his best friend, a cowpoke stands to lose the woman he loves if he brings in his pal for cattle rustling. A somewhat reworked version of the Owen Wister novel but still enjoyable.\n\n**4747** _ **Viva Cisco Kid**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1940. 70 min. D: Norman Foster. SC: Samuel G. Engel and Hal Long. With Cesar Romero, Jean Rogers, Chris-Pin Martin, Minor Watson, Stanley Fields, Nigel de Brulier, Harold Goodwin, Francis Ford, Charles Judels, Harrison Greene, LeRoy Mason, Tom London, Jim Mason, Hank Worden, Eddy Waller, Ray Teal, Bud Osborne, Paul Sutton, Mantan Moreland, Paul Kruger, Willie Fung, Frank Darrien, Jacqueline Dalya, Margaret Martin, Inez Palange. The Cisco Kid and his pal Gordito are on the trail of an outlaw gang wanted for robbery. Well made and entertaining \"Cisco Kid\" series film.\n\n_**Viva!

Two beautiful entertainers team with an Irish rebel to assist the revolutionary cause in Mexico. There is a pleasant blend of action and comedy in this French production.\n\n**4749** _ **Viva Max!**_ **** Commonwealth United, 1969. 96 min. Color. D: Jerry Paris. SC: Elliott Baker. With Peter Ustinov, Pamela Tiffin, Jonathan Winters, John Astin, Keenan Wynn, Harry Morgan, Alice Ghostley, Kenneth Mars, Morgan Guilford, Bill McCutcheon. A Mexican general, with a small band of confederates, tries to retake the Alamo 163 years after the initial siege.

Pancho Villa rises from petty bandit to revolutionary leader in Mexico. Overlong but passable biopic with a delightfully hammy performance by Wallace Beery in the title role.\n\n**4751** _ **Viva Zapata!**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1952. 113 min. D: Elia Kazan. SC: John Steinbeck.

Lewis, Peter Mamakos, Ric Roman, Nestor Paiva, Robert Filmer, Julia Montoya, Salvador Baquez. A peasant, helped by his brother, rises above his surroundings and leads a revolution against the government of Mexico.

While visiting his late wife's resting place the Black Cowboy learns a series of grave robberies have taken place in the area and he traces them to a mad scientist who is using corpses in trying to learn the secret of life. Horror Western fans will like this early Mexican excursion into the genre by producer-director-writer-star Raul de Anda.\n\n**4753** _ **The Wackiest Wagon Train in the West**_ **** Topar Films, 1976. 86 min.

Leading settlers West, a wagon master and his lame brained assistant get lost in the wilderness. Uninteresting Western rehash of \"Gilligan's Island\" (CBS-TV, 1964\u201367) made from episodes of \"Dusty's Trail\" (Syndicated, 1973\u201374).\n\n**4754** _ **Waco**_ **** Monogram, 1952. 68 min.

After killing a dishonest gambler in a fair fight, a cowboy is forced to run when he escapes after being denied a proper trial.

A former gunslinger is hired to bring peace to a Wyoming community and finds his ex-girl is married to the local preacher. An excellent cast lends credence to this otherwise mediocre horse opera from producer A.C. Lyles.\n\n**4756** _ **The Wagon Master**_ **** Universal, 1929. 70 min. D: Harry Joe Brown. SC: Marion Jackson and Leslie Mason. With Ken Maynard, Edith Roberts, Frederick Dana, Tom Santschi, Al Ferguson, Jack Hanlon, Bobby Dunn, Frank Rice, Whitehorse. A cowboy takes command of a wagon train after crooks murder its master who opposed their boss' food monopoly.

Gardner Sullivan. With William S. Hart, Jane Novak, Robert McKim, Lloyd Bacon, Leo Pierson, Bertholde Sprotte, Charles Arling, Billy Hamilton. When is brother is shot for supposedly trying to molest a young woman, a wagon master tries to get the truth as he leads settlers, including the girl and the men who did the killing, to their new homes.

With Wild Bill Elliott, George \"Gabby\" Hayes, Anne Jeffreys, Tom Tyler, Rick Vallin, Robert Frazer, Roy Barcroft, Bryant Washburn, Charles Miller, Tom London, Cliff Lyons, Jack Rockwell, Kenne Duncan, Minerva Urecal, Hal Price, Frank Ellis, Hank Bell, Bill Nestell, Jack Ingram, Jack O'Shea, Ray Jones, Curley Dresden, Frank McCarroll, Marshall Reed, Ben Corbett, Jack Montgomery, Tom Steele, Roy Butler, J.W. Cody, Dick Rush, Bob Burns, Pascale Perry, Tom Steele, Bill Hazlett. A crooked Indian agent tries to cheat a tribe of its lands and a cowboy attempts to help them but meets opposition from a medicine man. A superb supporting cast is one of the many plus factors in this good \"Wild Bill Elliott\" series outing.\n\n**4759** _ **Wagon Trail**_ **** Ajax, 1935. 55 min. D: Harry Fraser. SC: Monroe Talbot. With Harry Carey, Gertrude Messinger, Edward Norris, Earl Dwire, Roger Williams, John Elliott, Chief Thundercloud, Chuck Morrison, Lew Meehan, Francis Walker, Allen Greer, Silver Tip Baker, Richard Botiller. A lawman attempts to help his gambler son when he is falsely accused of murder. A bit slow but otherwise entertaining Harry Carey oater.\n\n**4760** _ **Wagon Train**_ **** RKO Radio, 1940. 59 min. D: Edward Killy. SC: Morton Grant. With Tim Holt, Martha O'Driscoll, Ray Whitley, Emmett Lynn, Bud McTaggart, Cliff Clark, Ellen Lowe, Wade Crosby, Ethan Laidlaw, Monte Montague, Carl Stockdale, Glenn Strange, Bruce Dane. The new owner of a wagon train is the target of a trading post operator who killed his father and wants to buy out the franchise. Tim Holt's first series film is a fine sagebrush yarn and a good start to his RKO tenure.\n\n**4761** _ **Wagon Train**_ **** Columbia, 1952. 61 min. D: George Archainbaud. SC: Gerald Geraghty. With Gene Autry, Pat Buttram, Gail Davis, Dick Jones, Gordon Jones, Harry Harvey, Henry Rowland, George J. Lewis, The Cass County Boys (Jerry Scoggins, Bert Dodson, Fred Martin), Gregg Barton, Pierce Lyden, Carlo Tircoli, Syd Saylor, Sandy Sanders. Special investigator Gene Autry joins a medicine show while looking for money taken in an Army payroll holdup. Not one of Gene's better outings although he does reprise \"Back in the Saddle Again.\"\n\n**4762** _ **Wagon Wheels**_ **** Paramount, 194. 57 min. D: Charles Barton. SC: Jack Cunningham, Charles Logan and Carl Buss. With Randolph Scott, Gail Patrick, Billy Lee, Monte Blue, Raymond Hatton, Jan Duggan, Leila Bennett, Olin Howlin, J.P.

Three scouts lead settlers on a wagon train to Oregon while a half-breed tries to stop them in order to keep his fur trade.

When crooks try to sabotage the Duchess' stage line in an isolated area, Red Ryder and Little Beaver come to her defense.

With Ben Johnson, Joanne Dru, Harry Carey, Jr., Ward Bond, Charles Kemper, Alan Mowbray, Jane Darwell, Ruth Clifford, Russell Simpson, Kathleen O'Malley, James Arness, Fred Libby, Hank Worden, Mickey Simpson, Francis Ford, Cliff Lyons, Don Summers, Movita Castenada, Jim Thorpe, Chuck Hayward, The Sons of the Pioneers (Ken Curtis, Lloyd Perryman, Shug Fisher, Tommy Doss, Hugh Farr, Karl Farr). Two cowboys join a Mormon wagon train traveling across the plains, fighting Indians, outlaws and the harsh elements. Somber, leisurely paced melodrama, not one of John Ford's best but still worth viewing; it spawned \"Wagon Train\" (NBC-TV, 1957\u201362; ABC-TV, 1962\u201365) with Ward Bond repeating the wagon master role until his death in 1960.\n\n**4765** _ **Wagons East**_ **** TriStar, 1994. 107 min.

Duffy, David Dunard, Stuart Grant, Thomas F. Duffy, Joel McKinnon Miller, Deerek Senft, Lochlyn Munro, Ethan Phillips, Gailard Sartain, Marti Wells, Rick Damazio, Bud Davis, Bill Daydodge, Randy Hall, William Tucker, Patrick Thomas O'Brien. When they fail at homesteading, a group of settlers hire an old, incompetent cowboy to lead them back to their original homes in the East. Tepid comedy dedicated to the memory of John Candy, who played the wagon master.\n\n**4766** _ **Wagons West**_ **** Monogram, 1952. 73 min. D: Ford Beebe. SC: Dan Ullman. With Rod Cameron, Peggie Castle, Noah Beery, Jr., Michael Chapin, Henry Brandon, Sara Haden, Frank Ferguson, Anne Kimball, Wheaton Chambers, Riley Hill, I. Stanford Jolley, Glenn Strange, Harry Strang, John Parrish, Charles Stevens, Almira Sessions, Harry Tyler, Effie Laird. While leading a wagon train from Missouri across the plains, a man discovers some of his passengers are selling guns to the Indians. Cheaply made but entertaining action effort utilizing stock footage from _**Fort Osage**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4767** _ **Wagons Westward**_ **** Republic, 1940. 70 min. D: Lew Landers. SC: Joseph M. March and Harrison Jacobs.

Carpenter, Art Dillard, Tex Cooper, Tom Smith, Joe McGuinn, Bill Woolf, The Hull Twins. Siblings grow up on opposite sides of the law with the crooked one protected by a dishonest sheriff but when he is arrested his honest brother takes his place so he can round up an outlaw gang. A well made, adult Western with Chester Morris quite good in dual roles, although it is sad to see Buck Jones and Silver on the wrong side of the law.\n\n**4768** _ **Walk Like a Dragon**_ **** Paramount, 1960. 95 min. D: James Clavell. SC: James Clavell and Daniel Mainwaring.

After saving a Chinese girl from a prostitution ring, a man takes her to his Western hometown where she is snubbed by the locals.

With Willard Parker, Kent Taylor, Joyce Meadows, Russ Bender, Ron Soble, Alberto Monte, Bill Mims, Felix Locher, Dave De Paul. A renegade military man and his three cohorts murder women and children of the Shoshone Indian tribe with an Army captain assigned to bring them to justice. Despite its compact running time, this dual bill item is a trite affair.\n\n**4770** _ **Walk the Proud Land**_ **** Universal-International, 1956. 88 min. Color. D: Jesse Hibbs. SC: Gil Doud and Jack Sher. With Audie Murphy, Anne Bancroft, Patricia Crowley, Charles Drake, Tommy Rail, Jay Silverheels, Robert Warwick, Victor Milan, Anthony Caruso, Morris Ankrum, Addison Richards, Francis McDonald, John Pickard, Ed Hinton, Maurice Jara, George Keymas, Frank Chase, Eugene Iglesias, Mary Carrizosa. An Indian agent, wanting to bring peace to warring whites and Apaches, tries to capture Geronimo.

With Randolph Soctt, Ella Raines, William Bishop, Edgar Buchanan, Arthur Kennedy, John Ireland, Jerome Courtland, Russell Collins, Charles Stevens, Houseley Stevenson, Reed Howes, Josh White, Ralph Dunn, Frank Yaconelli, Frank Marlo, John McKee, Jack Parker. A wanted killer, along with six men and a woman, rides into Death Valley in search of a wagon train carrying a fortune in gold lost in a sand storm years before. Underrated and very fine melodrama; well worth seeing.\n\n**4772** _ **Walking Thunder**_ **** Koan, 1997. 95 min. Color. D: Craig Clyde. SC: Craig Clyde and James Hennessy. With James Read, John Denver, David Tom, Klara Irene Miracle, Christopher Neame, Chief Ted Thin Elk, Kevin Conners, Billy Oscar, Don Shanks, Robert DoQui, Kasey Clyde, David Kirk Chambers, Carolyn Hurlburt, Duane Stephens, Wayne Brennan, Joseph Kelly Lockinland, Roy J. Cohoe, John Aspiras, Ivan N. Long, Bart the Bear, Brian Keith (narrator). Stranded in the Rocky Mountains, a boy and his family learn the ways of the wild from a mountain man, an Indian and a huge bear. Pleasant PG-rated family fare.\n\n**4773** _ **Wall Street Cowboy**_ **** Republic, 1939. 66 min. D: Joseph Kane. SC: Gerald Geraghty and Norman S. Hall. With Roy Rogers, George \"Gabby\" Hayes, Raymond Hatton, Ann Baldwin, Pierre Watkin, Craig Reynolds, Louisiana Lou, Ivan Miller, Reginald Barlow, Adrian Morris, Jack Roper, Jack Ingram, Hugh Sothern, Paul Fix, George Chesebro, Ted Mapes, Fred Burns, George (Montgomery) Letz. A cowboy tries to obtain money in the East to pay off the mortgage on his ranch since he suspects it contains a rich gold deposit. Despite its title and lack of continuing action, this Roy Rogers offering is pretty fair viewing.\n\n**4774** _ **The Walloping Kid**_ **** Awyon, 1926. 67 min. D-SC: Robert J. Horner. With Kit Carson (Boris Bullock), Dorothy Ward, Pauline Curley, Frank Whitson, Jack Richardson, Al Kaufman, Jack Herrick. When his father's ranch is threatened by outlaws, a boxer gives up the ring and infiltrates the rustling gang in order to bring them to justice. Tacky silent outing from Robert J. Horner Productions.\n\n**4775** _ **Wanda Nevada**_ **** United Artists, 1979. 107 min. Color. D: Peter Fonda. SC: Dennis Hackin.

After a gambler wins a young girl in a poker game the two head for a sacred Indian burial ground to search for gold. There is not much here to recommend this 1950s-era oater except for Henry Fonda in a cameo as a grizzled prospector.\n\n**4776** _ **The Wanderer of the Wasteland**_ **** Paramount, 1935. 66 min. D: Otho Lovering. SC: Stuart Anthony. With Dean Jagger, Gail Patrick, Edward Ellis, Benny Baker, Larry \"Buster\" Crabbe, Trixie Friganza, Monte Blue, Raymond Hatton, Fuzzy Knight, Charles Waldron, Anna Q.

Sherwood, Eddie Sturgis, Marian Mansfield, Maxine Reiner. A man who mistakenly thinks he murdered his brother during an argument heads into the desert where he meets and falls in love with a pretty girl after joining an outlaw gang preying on prospectors. Okay remake of the Zane Grey story first filmed by Paramount in 1924 in two-color Technicolor with Jack Holt, Billie Dove, Noah Beery and Kathlyn Willliams.\n\n**4777** _ **Wanderer of the Wasteland**_ **** RKO Radio, 1945. 67 min.

Brown, Tommy Cook, Harry McKim, Jason Robards, Dick Elliott, Myrna Dell, Sammy Blum, Budd Buster, Ethan Laidlaw, Sam Lufkin, Gordon Jones, Tanis Chandler, Nan Leslie, Allan Lee, Fred Aldrich, Larry Wheat, Cecil Stewart, Sam Shack, Lou Palfy. After his father is murdered a man grows up vowing to get revenge on the killer and he spends years tracking him down. Only fair third screen adaptation of Zane Grey's work, although leading lady Audrey Long is a knockout; James Warren's first series Western.\n\n**4778** _ **Wanderers of the West**_ **** Monogram, 1941. 58 min. D: Robert Hill. SC: Robert Emmett (Tansey). With Tom Keene, Betty Miles, Sugar Dawn, Arkansas Slim Andrews, Tom Seidel, Stanley Price, Gene Alsace, Tom London, Fred Hoose, James Sheridan (Sherry Tansey). A cowboy, on the trail of his father's killer, befriends a man not knowing he is the one he seeks. A somewhat complicated plot is about the only highlight of this otherwise average outing.\n\n**4779** _ **Wanted**_ **** Documento, 1969. 104 min. Color. D: Calvin J. Padget (Giorgio Ferroni). SC: Fernando Di Leo and Augusto Finocchi. With Giuliano Gemma, Teresa Gimpera, Serge Marquand, German Cobos, Daniele Vargas, Gia Sandri, Nello Pazzafini. Falsely branded an outlaw by a rustler, a lawman tries to clear his name by arresting the real culprit. Okay Spaghetti Western remake of _**Adios Gringo**_ (q.v.), which also starred Giuliano Gemma.\n\n**4780** _ **Wanted by the Law**_ **** Sunset, 1924. 51 min. D-SC: Robert North Bradbury. With J.B. Warner, Dorothy Woods, Jay Morley, Bill (William) McCall, Frank Rice, Tom Lingham, Jay Hunt, Billie Bennett, Ralph McCullough, Jacob Waldermyer. A cowboy takes the blame for a killing committed by his weakling brother and heads to Montana where he is accused of shooting his girl's uncle after the man's gold claim map is stolen. Action filled, low budget silent effort from producer Anthony J. Xydias.\n\n_**Wanted by the Law**_ (1944) see _**Dead or Alive**_\n\n**4781** _ **Wanted\u2014Dead or Alive**_ **** Monogram, 1951. 59 min. D: Thomas Carr. SC: Clint Johnson. With Whip Wilson, Jim Bannon, Fuzzy Knight, Christine McIntyre, Leonard Penn, Lane Bradford, Zon Murray, Marshall Reed, Stanley Price, Kenne Duncan, George DeNormand, William Fawcett, John Cason, Jack O'Shea, Ray Jones. A U.S. marshal and his two buddies are after a gang that captures and murders wanted men for the reward money. Better than average Whip Wilson series entry.\n\n**4782** _ **Wanted:**_ _**The Sundance Woman**_ **** ABC-TV\/20th Century\u2013Fox, 1976. 100 min. Color. D: Lee Phillips. SC: Richard Fielder.

After the deaths of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Etta Place finds herself a wanted woman and forms an uneasy alliance with Pancho Villa. Telefilm has Katharine Ross repeat the Etta Place role from _**Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid**_ (q.v.) but that is the only appeal in this mediocre outing.\n\n_**Wanted Woman**_ see _**Jessi's Girls**_\n\n**4783** _ **War Arrow**_ **** Universal-International, 1953. 78 min. Color. D: George Sherman. SC: John Michael Hayes.

When the Kiowa tribe threatens to engulf their Seminole neighbors, the U.S. cavalry sends a soldier to help the latter fight their traditional enemies. Although the plot of Indians vs. Indians is a bit different, the film is only average.\n\n**4784** _ **War Drums**_ **** United Artists, 1957. 75 min. Color. D: Reginald LeBorg. SC: Gerald Drayson Adams. With Lex Barker, Joan Taylor, Ben Johnson, Larry Chance, Richard Cutting, James Parnell, John Pickard, John Colicos, Tom Monroe, Jil Jarmyn, Jeanne Carmen, Mauritz Hugo, Ward Ellis, Fred Sherman, Paul Fierro, Alex Montoya, Stuart Whitman, Barbara Perry, Boyd \"Red\" Morgan. At the beginning of the Civil War, Apaches go on the warpath when gold seekers invade their lands and a cavalry officer is assigned to stop the trouble.

A cowboy sides with nesters against his rancher father, who at the behest of crooks, wants to start a range war in to fence off his spread. Static outdoor adventure from producer John R. Freuler.

A cowboy helps an Oklahoma Indian tribe in 1906 when a corrupt oil man wants to drill on their lands but keep the profits for himself. Brawling action melodrama that packs a lot of entertainment and is enhanced by a fine cast. Original title: _**In Old Oklahoma**_.\n\n_**War on the Range**_ see _**War of the Range**_\n\n**4787** _ **War Paint**_ **** United Artists, 1953. 90 min. Color. D: Lesley Selander.

Mikler, Donald Barry, Davey Davison, Laurie Mack, Dennis Robertson, Charles Horvath, Guy Wilkerson, Michael Carr, Fred Krone.

When a gun with bullets is brought to a modern-day re-enactment of a battle between the cavalry and Blackfoot Indians, a real fight results. A good premise goes awry in this pretentious \"social\" drama.\n\n**4790** _ **The War Wagon**_ **** Universal, 1967. 101 min. Color. D: Burt Kennedy. SC: Clair Huffaker. With John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Howard Keel, Robert Walker, Keenan Wynn, Bruce Cabot, Valora Noland, Gene Evans, Joanna Barnes, Bruce Dern, Terry Wilson, Don Collier, Sheb Wooley, Ann McCrea, Emilio Fernandez, Frank McGrath, Chuck Roberson, Boyd \"Red\" Morgan, Hal Needham, Marco Antonio Arzate, Perla Walter. Framed for a crime he did not commit, a man is released from prison and joins forces with an ex-employee of the crook who stole his gold rich lands, and together they plot to steal his armor-plated war wagon.

A lawman tries to bring peace to a frontier town with the help of a gambler and a member of the gang he has to combat.

A sideshow barker cheats some cowboys and is forced to work off his debt on a ranch where he falls for the boss' daughter but is hated by her suitor.

A rancher is murdered when he tries to get the law to stop a gang from charging a toll on herds going to market and another cattleman investigates. Sluggish, arid Bill Cody vehicle from producer Robert J. Horner; its only asset is Brydon Baker's photography.\n\n**4847** _ **Western Renegades**_ **** Monogram, 1949. 58 min. D: Wallace Fox.

Harrison, Terry Frost, William Ruhl, Myron Healey, Milburn Morante, John Merton, Dee cooper, Chuck Roberson, Bill Potter, Lane Bradford. A U.S. marshal attempts to puzzle out the events surrounding the murder of a banker. A complicated plot somewhat helps this later Johnny Mack Brown effort, a remake of _**Down Texas Way**_ (q.v.).\n\n_**Western Terror**_ see _**Buzzy and the Phantom Pinto**_\n\n**4848** _ **Western Trails**_ **** Universal, 1938. 57 min.

A former outlaw joins the crew stringing Western Union telegraph lines and becomes romantically involved with the sister of the project's chief engineer but has a rival in a fellow worker, a Harvard graduate.

A rancher learns his foreman and the local sheriff are in cahoots rustling cattle as they try to pin a murder charge on him.

A drifter falls in love with a homesteader's daughter and when her father is murdered by Judge Roy Bean's men he goes gunning for the maverick lawman.

A playboy is sent West by his father in hopes the wide open spaces will reform him and the job gets done when he comes to the rescue of a woman whose ranch is sought by crooks.

A wagon train with female passengers heads to California led by a wagon master who not only has to contend with them, but also Indians, outlaws and the elements.

Two businessmen take a vacation in a fantasy world where the old West of the 1880s is recreated but a robot gunman goes haywire and begins killing the tourists.

With Ken Maynard, Joyzelle Joyner, George Renavent, Harlan E. Knight, Don Terry, Jack Rockwell, Lew Meehan, Bud McClure, Merrill McCormick, Wally Wales, Jessie Arnold, Frank Ellis, Hank Bell, Jim Corey. When outlaw Serge Karloff kidnaps and murders his pal, cowboy Whistlin' Dan joins his gang to get revenge on the gunman. Quite interesting Ken Maynard vehicle; leisurely paced. Remade as _**Along the Rio Grande**_ (q.v.).\n\n**4893** _ **Whistling Bullets**_ **** Ambassador, 1937. 58 min. D: John English. SC: Joseph O'Donnell. With Kermit Maynard, Harlene (Harley) Wood, Jack Ingram, Maston Williams, Bruce Mitchell, Karl Hackett, Sherry Tansey, Cliff Parkinson, Herman Hack, William McCall, Buck Moulton. Two Texas Rangers are on the trail of a gang of bond thieves. Good production values and direction heighten the affect of this Kermit Maynard film, supposedly based on the works of James Oliver Curwood.\n\n**4894** _ **Whistling Hills**_ **** Monogram, 1951. D: Derwin Abrahams. SC: Fred Myton. With Johnny Mack Brown, Jimmy (James) Ellison, Pamela Duncan, Noel Neill, I. Stanford Jolley, Lee Roberts, Marshall Reed, Lane Bradford, Bud Osborne, Pierce Lyden, Frank Ellis, Ray Jones, Merrill McCormick, Carl Mathews. A masked outlaw, who uses a mysterious whistle to signal his gang, is hunted by a sheriff and the cowboy who agrees to help him. A bit better than some of the later Johnny Mack Brown features.\n\n**4895** _ **The White Buffalo**_ **** United Artists, 1977. 97 min. D: J. Lee Thompson. SC: Richard Sale. With Charles Bronson, Will Sampson, Jack Warden, Kim Novak, Clint Walker, Stuart Whitman, Slim Pickens, John Carradine, Cara Williams, Shay Duffin, Douglas V.

Wild Bill Hickok and Crazy Horse form an uneasy alliance in an effort to kill a legendary white buffalo. Strange, almost supernatural like, Western with dark, murky photography; mainly for Charles Bronson fans.

In the town of Rio Hondo, a sheriff tries to stop two feuding half-breed brothers from killing each other along with fighting a corrupt town boss. Made in Italy as _**Comanche Blanco**_ (White Comanche), this is one of the better 1960s European oaters, enhanced by good work by Joseph Cotten and William Shatner, the latter in dual roles.\n\n**4897** _ **The White Dawn**_ **** Paramount, 1974. 109 min. Color. D: Philip Kaufman. SC: James Houston and Tom Rickman. With Warren Oates, Timothy Bottoms, Lou Gossett, Simonie Kopapik, Joanasie Salomnie, Pilitak, Munamee Sake. During an 1896 whaling expedition three men get lost in the Arctic and are saved by Eskimos who they later use to their advantage.

An Indian pony express rider opposes a gang of renegades who dress like tribesmen to rob stagecoaches. Slim serial remake of the 1932 (q.v.) Buck Jones vehicle, but still worth viewing, especially for his fans.\n\n**4900** _ **White Fang**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1936. 70 min. D: David Butler. SC: Hal Long and Sam Duncan. With Michael Whalen, Jean Muir, Charles Winninger, Slim Summerville, Jane Darwell, Thomas Beck, John Carradine, George Cucount, Joe Herrick, Edward Thorpe, Steve Clemento, Marie Chorre, Jack Curtis, Ken Evans, Robert St. Angelo, Nick De Ruiz, Desmond Gallagher, Walter James, Jack Stoney, Joe Brown, Ward Bond, William Wagner, Francis McDonald, Herbert Heywood.

A beautiful husky dog helps his master, a sourdough in the Klondike, in fighting both crooks and bad men when he strikes gold. Very well done French-Italian-Spanish co-production of the Jack London work. Italian title _**Zanna Bianca**_ (White Fang).\n\n**4902** _ **White Fang**_ **** Buena Vista, 1991. 107 min. Color. D: Randal Kleiser. SC: Jeanne Rosenberg, Nick Thiel and David Fallon. With Ethan Hawke, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Seymour Cassel, Susan Hogan, James Remar, Bill Moseley, Clint B.

Going with his little son and their dog to take over a mine he has inherited in Northern Canada, a man finds he is faced with an enemy who wants both his property and mail order bride. Mediocre \"White Fang\" imitation (the dog is called \"Whiskey\" in its original version), made in Italy as _**La Spacconata**_ (The Bluff) and cut by 12 minutes for U.S. release.\n\n**4904** _ **White Fang and the Hunter**_ **** First Line Films, 1975. 87 min. Color. D: Alfonso Brescia. SC: Giulio Berruti and Giuseppe Maggi and Franco Pietroletti.

Two hunters try to help a young woman save her homestead coveted by crooks. Sorry Italian production released there as _**Zanna Bianca e il Caccatore Solitario**_ (White Fang and the Solitary Hunter), which has little to do with White Fang and even less with Jack London's work.\n\n**4905** _ **White Fang to the Rescue**_ **** Paneuropean Production Pictures, 1974. 97 min. Color. D: Tonino Ricci. SC: Giovanni Simonelli and Sandro Continenza.

During the Alaskan Gold Rush a prospector, who is in love with an Indian princess, and his wolf-dog lead a tribe of starving Indians to a caribou herd. Filmed in British Columbia and Colorado, this Disney family films is only average except for the beautiful scenery.\n\n**4907** _ **White Feather**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1955. 100 min. Color.

A pretty Mexican dancer marries a sheep raiser and moves with him to a remote ranch where she is distrusted by his father and lusted after by the hired hand.

SC: Bennet Musson. With William S. Hart, Vola Vale, Alexander Gaden, Robert Walker, Bertholde Sprotte, Helen Holly, Chief Standing Bear, Red Wing. A gambler seeks revenge on the crook who took advantage of his younger sister. Typically dramatic William S.

With Jack Hoxie, Marceline Day, William Welsh, Duke R. Lee, Floyd Shackelford, Charles Brinley, Scout (horse). A cowboy befriends and trains a wild stallion who is later accused of stealing area horses.

With Art Acord, Vivian May, Lew Meehan, Bill Patton, Al Hoxie, Dick Nores, Betty Carter, Howard Davies, Walter Maly, Slim Mathews. An outlaw gets the blame for a robbery he did not commit and sets out to track down the real culprits. Silent Art Acord offering made at the end of his career; cheap and short on action but still entertaining. Written by character actor Bob McKenzie.\n\n**Art Acord, the star of** _**The White Outlaw**_ **(Exhibitors Film Corporation, 1929).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**4913** _ **The White Squaw**_ **** Columbia, '956. 73 min.

D-SC: Keith Larsen. With Keith Larsen, Lorne Greene (narrator). A man faces danger from the elements and Indians in the great Northwest. Another outdoor action feature from producer-director-writer-star Keith Larsen and it should please nature fans; originally called _**Run or Burn**_.\n\n**4915** _ **White Wilderness**_ **** Buena Vista, 1958. 73 min. Color. D-SC: James Algar. With Winston Hibler (narrator). Life in the Arctic is presented both in the warm and frigid months, dealing with animal life in the region.

With Matt McCoy, David Moscow, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Ami Dolenz, Amy O'Neill, Marc Riffon, Eric Drachman.

With Mick Cain, Mercedes McNab, Rodney A. Grant, Robin Clarke, Tracy Brooks Swope, Margaret Howell, Frederick Dawson, David Campbell.

SC: Ladislaus Fodor and Paul Jarrico. With Lex Barker, Joachim Fuschsberger, Marianne Koch, Ralf Wolter, Barbara Bold, Sieghardt Rupp, Carlos Otero. A hunted Arizona outlaw is thought to be dead until a gun salesman is mistaken for him and almost lynched.

Bernard, Sidney Fields, Fred Kelsey, Roger Gray, Eddy Waller, Josephine Drimmer, Alice Armand, Sidney Jarvis, Romaine Callender, Russ Clark, Vester Pegg, Alex Palasthy, Erville Alderson. During an annual Pioneer Day celebration, crooks use a feud between two families as a blind for their plans to rob the bank. Too much Jane Withers and not enough action hamper this comedy Western.\n\n**4926** _ **Wild and Wooly**_ **** Artcraft-Paramount, 1917. 70 min. D: John Emerson. SC: Anita Loos. With Douglas Fairbanks, Eileen Percy, Sam De Grasse, Monte Blue, Walter Bytell, J.W. Jones, Forest Seabury, Joseph Singleton, Tom Wilson, Charles Stevens.

Peters, Anthony De Longis, Bill Bolender, Alisa Christensen, Patricia Pretzinger, Peter Jason, Joseph Crozier, Mikey LeBeau, Jaime Elysse, Jaime Marsh, Burton Gilliam, Del Roy, Steve Brasfield, Juddson Keith Linn, Trisha Munford, Andre Alexsen. Aging Wild Bill Hickok comes to Deadwood where he again encounters Calamity Jane and is hunted by vengeful Jack McCall. Psychological biopic of the famed lawman often told in confusing flashbacks.\n\n**4931** _ **Wild Bill Hickok**_ **** Paramount-Artcraft, 1923. 70 min. D: Clifford S. Smith. SC: J.G. Hawk. With William S. Hart, Ethel Grey Terry, Kathleen O'Connor, James Farley, Jack Gardner, Carl Gerard, William Dyer, Bert Sprotte, Leo Willis, Nada Carle, Herschel Mayall. Following the Civil War, gunman Bill Hickok heads to Dodge City to become a gambler but ends up the town's sheriff and opposed to an outlaw gang leader. Star William S. Hart wrote the story for this sentimental screen biography; not one of his better efforts.\n\n**4932** _ **Wild Bill Hickok Rides**_ **** Warner Bros., 1942. 81 min. D: Ray Enright. SC: Charles Grayston, Paul Gerald Smith and Raymond Schrock.

Burns, Walter Soderling, Howard Mitchell, Robert Homans, Sarah Padden, Frank Pharr, Bud Jamison, Jack \"Tiny\" Lipson, Pat McVeigh, Cliff Saum, Robert Strange, Lew Harvey, Georgia Caine, Albert Russell, Victor Zimmerman, Mary Thomas, John Maxwell. Wild Bill Hickok tries to stop a ruthless man from setting up his own Western empire. Despite a good cast and production values this is a pedestrian effort.\n\n**4933** _ **Wild Brian Kent**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1936. 60 min. D: Howard Bretherton. SC: Earle Snell, Don Swift and Don Gruen. With Ralph Bellamhy, Mae Clarke, Helen Lowell, Stanley Andrews, Lew Kelly, Eddy Chandler, Richard Alexander, Jack Duffy. A self-centered playboy learns to become a man when he helps a woman save her ranch from a gang of crooks. Adequate adaptation of Harold Bell Wright's _The Re-creation of Brian Kent_ , first filmed under that title by Principal in 1925 with Kenneth Harlan, Helene Chadwick, Mary Carr, ZaSu Pitts and Rosemary Theby.\n\n**4934** _ **The Wild Bunch**_ **** Warner Bros.\u20137 Arts, 1969. 140 min.

Jones, Albert Dekker, Bo Hopkins, Dub Taylor, Jorge Russek, Alfonso Arau, Aurora Clavel, Elsa Cardenas, Fernando Wagner, Paul Harper, Constance White, Lilia Richards. A trail tired outlaw gang is forced to agree to rob a gun supply train for an enemy of Pancho Villa, resulting in a massacre. Exceedingly bloody and violent horse opera which has its main appeal to Sam Peckinpah fans; well done. The film was cut to 123 minutes for TV showings and is also available in 134-, 142- and 144-minute versions.\n\n**4935** _ **Wild Country**_ **** Producers Releasing Corporation, 1947. 59 min.

Stanford Jolley, Steve Clark, Henry Hall, Lee Roberts, Forrest Matthews, William Fawcett, Richard Cramer, The Sunshine Boys (Eddie Wallace, J.D. Sumner, M.H. Richman, Freddie Daniel), Charles Jordan, Carl Mathews. Two marshals are after an escaped convict who killed the lawman who sent him to jail and took over his ranch. Standard Eddie Dean opus in which the title song (which he co-wrote) is better than the picture.\n\n**4936** _ **The Wild Country**_ **** Buena Vista, 1971. 100 min. Color. D: Robert Totten. SC: Calvin Clements, Jr. and Ralph Moody. With Steve Forrest, Vera Miles, Jack Elam, Ronny Howard, Frank DeKova, Morgan Woodward, Clint Howard, Dub Taylor, Woodrow Chambliss, Karl Swenson, Mills Watson. The story of a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, family's journey to Wyoming in the 1880s.

A trail guide is at odds with a corrupt wagon train leader who wants to settle in a valley belonging to Indians who will fight for their land.

With Allan \"Rocky\" Lane, Jack Holt, Eddy Waller, Pierre Watkin, John James, Roy Barcroft, Wheaton Chambers, Tom London, Sam Flint, Budd Buster, Ted Mapes, Bob Burns, Art Dillard, Bud McClure. A lawman helps an old sheriff and his sons fight a gang led by the town's corrupt saddle shop owner. First film in which Allan Lane was billed as \"Rocky\" and a good start to his \"Famous Westerns\" series, buoyed by Jack Holt as the villain.\n\n**4939** _ **Wild Fury**_ **** Ambassador Releasing, 1975. 90 min. Color. SC: Richard Wiles. Three men journey across the Alaskan wilderness in quest of a killer bear. Okay documentary.\n\n**4940** _ **Wild Geese Calling**_ **** 20th Century\u2013Fox, 1941. 77 min.

A dishonest rodeo bronco buster murders a cowboy, who with his partner captured a wild stallion, and the pal is falsely blamed for the crime.

Reynolds, Barbara Gordon, Gordie Tapp, Hardee Lineham. A college student works to keep horses from being butchered for dog food and tries to move a herd north so they can escape capture.

With Jack Holt, Noah Beery, Billie Dove, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., George Magrill, Edith Yorke, Bernard Siegel, Margaret Morris, Eugene Pallette, Gary Cooper, Tom Tyler.

Billy Carson and Fuzzy Q. Jones work out a plan with a prison warden to let a convict escape so they can trail him to where he hid loot stolen from a bank job. Average \"Billy Carson\" series entry somewhat buoyed by horror trappings, including a haunted mine, a bogus ghost and the title prop from _**The Devil Bat**_ (PRC, 1941).\n\n**4953** _ **Wild Horse Range**_ **** Monogram, 1940. 58 min.

A cowboy and his pals help a woman rancher being forced off her property by the mysterious \"Night Riders,\" a gang led by a man trying to buy all the nearby land needed for a railroad right-of-way.

The Lone Rider discovers a Nazi spy has taken his twin brother's place as the foreman of a ranch in order to sabotage the government's horse procurement program.

Two former lawmen come to the aid of a U.S. marshal trying to track a gang raiding railroad supply trains.

When outlaws brand his son so he will be forced to join them, an old time lawman takes up his badge to round up the thugs.

Color. D: Andrew Marton. SC: Frank Fenton.

A trapper falsely accused of murder falls in love with an Indian maiden as he is tracked in the north country by a Mountie.

Two bored cattle drovers pull a bank robbery as a lark and after a wild spree find themselves being relentlessly hunted by a posse. This Western tries hard to be a classic but merely defeats its purpose and ends up slightly better than mediocre, although it is not without interest.\n\n**William Holden and Ryan O'Neal in** _**Wild Rovers**_ **(Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1971).**\n\n**  \n**\n\n**4966** _ **Wild Stallion**_ **** Monogram, 1952. 72 min.

With Kirby Grant, Jan Clayton, Helen Parrish, Edward Norris, Ted Hecht, Charles Lang, Luther Crockett, Elizabeth Root. A Canadian Mounted Policeman, on the trail of murderous fur thieves, uncovers a plot concerning a lost gold mine.

A rough hewn frontiersman wants a mail order bride in order to have children but the Swedish woman he gets is strong willed and he fears she may be too old for child bearing. Somewhat sluggish effort from the director and star (Liv Ullman) of _**The Emigrants**_ (Warner Bros., 1971) and _**The New Land**_ (q.v.); Frank Cady is quite good as Gene Hackman's hateful father.\n\n**5085** _ **Zorro**_ **** Allied Artists, 1976. 100 min.

Solid Mexican Western drama.\n\n### Appendix 1: The Cowboys (and Cowgirls) and Their Horses\n\nAlthough they are not often included in the cast of the individual entries of this book, the horses of the cowboy stars were often big attractions and as much the star of a film as humans. Sometimes movies were built around the talents of the star's horse, as in the cases of Tom Mix's Tony, Ken Maynard's Tarzan and Roy Rogers' Trigger. The following list does not include every cinema star's movie mount but it does contain the main horse stars of the Western cinema.\n\n**Rex Allen** \u2014Koko\n\n**Gene Autry** \u2014Champion, Champion Jr.\n\n**Smith Ballew** \u2014Sheik\n\n**William Boyd** \u2014Topper\n\n**Harry Carey** \u2014Sonny\n\n**Lane Chandler** \u2014Raven\n\n**Bill Cody** \u2014Chico\n\n**Eddie Dean** \u2014Copper, Flash, White Cloud\n\n**Dale Evans** \u2014Buttermilk\n\n**William S.

It is not another attempt to bash teachers or blame them for the ills that beset America's schools. It is also not another set of recommendations that tell teachers how to teach. It is, instead, a tribute to the importance of teaching, and to the key role that teachers must play in its improvement. School learning will not improve markedly unless we give teachers the opportunity and the support they need to advance their craft by increasing the effectiveness of the methods they use.\n\nOur viewpoint arises from a collaboration that started more than five years ago. At that time, the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) was well into the planning stages. This study, the latest in a series of international studies stretching back more than thirty years, compared mathematics and science achievement among students in forty-one nations. TIMSS was the most carefully designed international study of achievement ever conducted. One component of TIMSS was a video study that compared the teaching of eighth-grade mathematics in Germany, Japan, and the United States. The video study, on which we collaborated, marked the first time ever that national samples of teachers had been videotaped teaching in their classrooms. For the first time, we could see what teaching actually looks like on a national scale, and we could do this for three countries.\n\nFiguring out how to analyze and summarize these videos was challenging. But it also was a breathtaking experience. We often are blind to the most familiar aspects of our everyday environment, and teaching turns out to be one of these aspects. Looking across cultures is one of the best ways to see beyond the blinders and sharpen our view of ourselves. As we looked again and again at the tapes we collected, we were struck by the homogeneity of teaching methods within each culture, compared with the marked differences in methods across cultures.\n\nReaders who are parents will know that there are differences among American teachers; they might even have fought to move their child from one teacher's class into another teacher's class. Our point is that these differences, which appear so large within our culture, are dwarfed by the gap in general methods of teaching that exist across cultures. We are not talking about a gap in teachers' competence but about a gap in teaching methods. These cross-cultural differences in methods are instructive because they allow us to see ourselves in new ways.\n\nBut the teaching gap we describe refers to more than cross-cultural teaching differences. It refers to the difference between the kinds of teaching needed to achieve the educational dreams of the American people and the kind of teaching found in most American schools. Although many of the American teachers we observed were highly competent at implementing American teaching methods, the methods themselves were severely limited.\n\nThe teaching gap becomes even more significant when one realizes that while other countries are continually improving their teaching approaches, the United States has no system for improving. The United States is always reforming but not always improving. The most alarming aspect of classroom teaching in the United States is not how we are teaching now but that we have no mechanism for getting better. Without such a mechanism, the teaching gap will continue to grow.\n\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\n\nThis book started out as a description of teaching in different cultures based on the data we collected in the video study. As we wrote the book, however, these differences in teaching methods turned out to be only part of the story. Equally important are the general truths we came to understand about teaching and the implications of these truths for the improvement of classroom teaching. Thus, although this book was initially intended as a report of the TIMSS video study, it quickly became much more than that. We do describe mathematics teaching in Germany, Japan, and the United States. But we also examine current reform efforts in the United States, and based on what we learned about teaching and about learning to teach, we propose a new plan for improving classroom teaching in the United States. Because the video study focused on eighth-grade mathematics, most of the classroom examples we present are from eighth-grade mathematics classrooms. The points we make go well beyond mathematics, however\u2014and certainly well beyond eighth grade. Mathematics teachers might find the book especially interesting, but our intention became to write a book that would be of interest to teachers in all subjects at all levels.\n\nTeachers are not the only audience for this book. We have written it for school administrators, policymakers, politicians, and parents. Although teachers hold the key, they teach in a system that currently works against improvement. Unless other important players get involved, our country cannot implement a program that allows teachers to improve teaching. This would be unfortunate, not because it would miss an opportunity but because it would miss the only opportunity. The system must support teachers to improve teaching, because teachers are the key to closing the gap.\n\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\n\nThis book, and the study from which it grew, could not have been completed without the help of many people.\n\nThe TIMSS video study was funded by a contract from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), U.S. Department of Education, to WESTAT, Inc. The views expressed in this book, however, should in no way be construed to be those of NCES or of the U.S. Department of Education.\n\nWe are grateful to Emerson Elliot, past commissioner of NCES, and to Pascal Forgione, the current commissioner, whose support and enthusiasm went well beyond the financial. Lois Peak, the NCES program officer who oversaw the study, worked tirelessly to help us through the intricacies of a government project. Without her unwavering belief in the importance of this work, the study would never have been done. And we thank Nancy Caldwell of WESTAT for her constant and dependable help throughout the contract.\n\nThe TIMSS video study could not have been done without the help of our international collaborators. Juergen Baumert and Rainer Lehmann (in Germany) and Toshio Sawada (National Institute of Educational Research, Tokyo) managed the data-collection process and helped us to understand teaching in their countries.\n\nClea Fernandez, of Teachers College\/Columbia University, played a major role in the early planning and conceptualization of the project; Scott Rankin trained the videographers for the study; Takako Kawanaka, Steffen Knoll, and Ana Serrano led our coding-development efforts; Patrick Gonzales managed the transcription and translation process and contributed to our analyses of classroom discourse; Eric Derghezarian, Fumiko Ichioka, and Nicole Kersting worked endless hours in the analysis of videotapes; Gundula Huber and Alyne Delaney handled the digitizing of the tapes; and Ken Mendoza wrote the software that enabled us to manage the huge quantity of video collected in the study. We want to recognize these individuals for the important role they played in the project.\n\nA number of consultants advised us at key points. These included Nicolas Hobar, Christine Keitel, Magdalene Lampert, Gilah Leder, Shin-Ying Lee, Johanna Neubrand, Michael Neubrand, Yukari Okamoto, Hidetada Shimizu, Yoshinori Shimizu, Kenneth Travers, and Diana Wearne. We are grateful for their input.\n\nWe could never adequately acknowledge the tireless contribution of our mathematics content group, led by Alfred Manaster. Other members of this group included Phillip Emig, Wallace Etterbeek, and Barbara Wells. Their work greatly enhanced the findings of the study.\n\nThe writing of this book was supported in part by a generous grant from the Albert Shanker Institute. We want to express our deep appreciation to the late Albert Shanker for his early support of our efforts, and to Eugenia Kemble and Alice Gill, who followed through on the project after his death.\n\nMany people read drafts of the book at various stages; their suggestions and criticisms have improved the book greatly. These readers include Gail Burrill, Tom Carpenter, Megan Franke, Philip Jackson, Jennifer Jacobs, Jeremy Kilpatrick, Paul Kimmelman, Kevin Miller, Leigh Peake, Sheila Sconiers, Nanette Seago, Lisle Staley, William Stanley, Harold Stevenson, and Karen Stigler. Special thanks go to Ronald Gallimore, our most constant critic, whose good humor, encouragement, insight, and wisdom kept us going. Of course, none of these people are responsible for any flaws in the book (except for maybe Ron).\n\nWe also want to thank Susan Arellano, formerly of the Free Press, who believed in the book and sold the idea to the Free Press; and Philip Rappaport, our editor at the Free Press, whose clear vision and timely input helped us write a book that could speak to a real audience.\n\nFinally, we thank our families, whose support and tolerance made this book possible: Karen Stigler, Sam Stigler, Thomas Stigler, and Charlie Stigler; and Diana Wearne.\n\nWe welcome your comments on The Teaching Gap.

Both politicians and the public recognize that education needs to be improved. Bad news from international comparisons of student achievement is no longer seen as esoteric by the American public; these days it is on the front page and a linchpin of many politicians' stump speeches. In our increasingly global economy, citizens see direct evidence that America's future will depend on the education of its workforce, and they are determined to compete. Education has become a high priority among the electorate.\n\nBut the real reason for optimism is that all this attention to education is not just rhetoric. We are witnessing a tidal wave of educational reform that appears to gain momentum with each passing year. Virtually every state in the nation is working to develop high standards for what students should learn in school, along with means for assessing students' progress. In a field where fads have ruled, we are seeing something new: a growing commitment to the idea that clear and shared goals for student learning must provide a foundation on which to improve education and achievement. Without clear goals, we cannot succeed, for we cannot know in which direction to move.\n\nYet it is equally important to recognize that standards and assessments, though necessary, are not enough. What must be done now is to find ways of providing students with the learning opportunities they need to reach the new standards. Making higher standards a reality for students will require more than just the status quo inside our nation's classrooms; curriculum, assessments, and\u2014above all\u2014teaching must improve dramatically. In our view, teaching is the next frontier in the continuing struggle to improve schools. Standards set the course, and assessments provide the benchmarks, but it is teaching that must be improved to push us along the path to success.\n\nOur contention that standards alone are not enough is shared by many politicians and school reformers, and they stand ready to help. President Clinton has successfully pushed through legislation that will pour millions of dollars into reducing class size in elementary schools nationwide. Many states are actively considering making vouchers and school choice a central part of their educational systems. And many school districts are embarking on additional initiatives, such as creating charter schools, outfitting schools with new technologies, and sanctioning new forms of school management.\n\nWe believe that these highly visible efforts, though well intentioned, miss the mark, because they leave out the one ingredient most likely to make a difference in students' learning: the quality of teaching. Reducing the class size from thirty to twenty certainly will make teachers happier. But if teachers continue to use the same methods they used with larger classes, learning opportunities for students will change little. Similarly, implementing a voucher system might increase competition among schools and spur their desire to improve. But desire alone does not provide teachers with the knowledge they need to implement more effective methods. Class size reductions, vouchers, and most other popular efforts to improve schools will end in disappointment if they do not fundamentally improve what happens inside classrooms.\n\nWe are not the only ones to decry this lack of attention to the improvement of teaching. Jerome Bruner, an elder statesman in educational psychology, made the same point in his 1996 book, The Culture of Education:\n\nIt is somewhat surprising and discouraging how little attention has been paid to the intimate nature of teaching and school learning in the debates on education that have raged over the past decade. These debates have been so focused on performance and standards that they have mostly overlooked the means by which teachers and pupils alike go about their business in real-life classrooms\u2014how teachers teach and how pupils learn.\n\nOur goal in writing this book is to convince our readers that improving the quality of teaching must be front and center in efforts to improve students' learning. Teaching is the one process in the educational system that is designed specifically to facilitate students' learning. Of course, there are many other factors that influence learning in a significant way, such as students' home and social life, and the resources of the school and community. We do not want to minimize the importance of these for the well-being of children. But much of what our society expects children to learn, they learn at school, and teaching is the activity most clearly responsible for learning. Robert Slavin, long a leading educational researcher, made a similar observation in a recent article:\n\nThe problem, I would argue, is that reforms so often debated in the media, in the White House, in Congress, and in statehouses across the country do not touch on the changes needed to fundamentally reform America's schools.... These reforms ignore a basic truth. Student achievement cannot change unless America's teachers use markedly more effective instructional methods.\n\nWhat makes this argument compelling is that not only is teaching essential, it is a process we can do something about. Overemphasizing the importance of nonschool factors that often are, frustratingly, beyond the reach of public policy can become an excuse for not trying to improve. Teaching lies within the control of teachers. It is something we can study and improve.\n\n## The Learning Gap  \nand the Need to Improve\n\nGood questions to ask at this point are \"Why is it so important to improve teaching?\" and \"How do we know that improvement is needed? Maybe we are doing fine.\" Surprising as it may seem, there is considerable controversy about the answers to these questions. Influential educators and writers disagree. One answer is simply that there is always room for improvement; no matter how well our students are doing now, it would be foolish not to try to improve.\n\nThe truth, as we see it, however, is that the situation in the United States demands improvement, not just because improvement is possible but because it is needed. Our students are being shortchanged. They could be learning much more and much more deeply than they are learning now. In the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress, a periodic thermometer of students' learning, only 38 percent of America's eighth-graders could figure out a 15 percent tip on the cost of a typical meal, even when given five choices from which they could select the correct answer. Is this good enough?\n\nBeyond the surveys of our own country's students, there are a number of sobering international reports. Several years ago, one of us coauthored a book called The Learning Gap. That book presented a study of schooling and achievement in Japan, Taiwan, China, and the United States. The findings were cause for concern: As early as fifth grade, U.S. students lagged far behind their counterparts in the other countries. On a test of mathematics achievement, for example, the highest-scoring classroom in the U.S. sample did not perform as well as the lowest-scoring classroom in the Japanese sample.\n\nInterest in international studies has grown since publication of The Learning Gap, heightened recently by release of the results of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). As the name implies, this was the third in a series of international studies. The first was conducted in the 1960s and the second in the early 1980s. In both of these studies, U.S. students performed quite poorly compared with their peers in most Asian and many European countries. But neither of these two earlier studies came close to matching the size and quality of the TIMSS, by far the most comprehensive and methodologically sophisticated cross-national comparison of achievement ever completed. TIMSS investigated mathematics and science achievement among fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students in forty-one nations.\n\nThe results from TIMSS have garnered a great deal of media interest and have caught the attention of politicians, policymakers, and the general public. The results are dramatic, and they do not paint a flattering picture of American education. For example, in eighth-grade mathematics, twenty of the forty-one nations scored significantly higher, on average, than the United States, while only seven nations scored significantly lower than the United States. The seven nations scoring lower than the United States were Lithuania, Cyprus, Portugal, Iran, Kuwait, Colombia, and South Africa. Nations scoring significantly higher than the United States included Singapore, Korea, Japan, Canada, France, Australia, Hungary, and Ireland.\n\nOf course, the results of large international studies are always open to question. So much differs across cultures and educational systems, it is hard to know where to find the most meaningful comparisons. Are the samples comparable? Do we even have the same goals for education across cultures? Although the answers to these questions are important for interpreting the differences, the gap in achievement between U.S. students and those in other countries is simply too wide to be dismissed on methodological grounds. U.S. education is in need of improvement.\n\n## Beyond the Learning Gap\n\nAmericans increasingly are aware of this learning gap and are seeking ways to address it. The international comparisons grab the front-page headlines, and officials try to infer recommendations from how one country performs compared with the performance of another. Policymakers carefully study, state by state, scores on the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress, as if one could divine a strategy, from the scores, for improving performance. Scores of all local schools are printed in the newspaper, and school boards and parents discuss why students in some schools score much lower than others.\n\nAs important as it is to know how well students are learning, examinations of achievement scores alone can never reveal how the scores might be improved. We also need information on the classroom processes\u2014on teaching\u2014that are contributing to the scores. Unfortunately, many policymakers have ignored this fact, making decisions about the future of education without even the most rudimentary information about what is happening in classrooms. In 1995, faced with low reading and mathematics performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, California's superintendent of public instruction formed two task forces, one for mathematics and one for reading, to study the situation and propose solutions. California, after all, was highly respected for its Curriculum Frameworks that guide reading and mathematics instruction in the state. The Frameworks provided a comprehensive outline for what students should learn and guidelines for appropriate instructional methods. If the Frameworks were so good, why was achievement so low?\n\nIn meetings of California's mathematics task force, the discussion often turned to the Frameworks. Were the teaching methods or curricular emphases recommended in the Mathematics Framework perhaps to blame for students' low achievement? A debate ensued among members of the task force, a debate that has been reflected more broadly in public debate around the country between proponents of \"reform\" teaching and those in favor of more \"traditional\" teaching methods. Some believed that the Frameworks were not working and should be changed; others believed that the state should stay the course. But often lost in the discussion was a key fact: the state of California had collected no data on the extent to which the Frameworks had been implemented in the state's classrooms. This did not stop the state, however, from undertaking a revision of its Mathematics Framework. But on what basis could the Framework be revised? Without knowing what teachers were doing, how could the effectiveness of the Framework be determined?\n\nWe do not mean to single out California; no state that we know of regularly collects and uses data directly related to instructional processes in the classroom. Policymakers adopt a program, then wait to see if student achievement scores will rise. If scores do not go up\u2014and this is most often what happens, especially in the short run\u2014they begin hearing complaints that the policy isn't working. Momentum builds, experts meet, and soon there is a new recommendation, then a change of course, often in the opposite direction. Significantly, this whole process goes on without ever collecting data on whether or not the original program was even implemented in classrooms\u2014or, if implemented, how effective it was in promoting student learning. If we wish to make wise decisions, we need to know what is going on in typical classrooms.\n\nFortunately, the same TIMSS that generated a new wave of concern about students' achievement also collected a wealth of information about educational factors that might help us understand the different levels of performance in different countries. TIMSS researchers analyzed textbooks; asked administrators, teachers, and students about their beliefs and practices; and videotaped teachers teaching typical lessons. The TIMSS video study of teaching, which forms the basis for this book, is especially significant because it provides a penetrating and unparalleled look into classrooms in three different countries. For the first time, we had a full video record of a representative sample of U.S. classrooms. More than that, we had the same kind of information from Germany and Japan. We could now compare more than achievement scores. We could examine similarities and differences in the instructional methods that lay behind these scores.\n\n## A Unique Opportunity\n\nThe data collected in the TIMSS video study allow us to answer questions that we could not answer previously yet are crucial for the formation of education policy in the years to come. What are the instructional methods that most teachers currently use? Are the highly publicized reform recommendations being implemented in the classrooms of the United States? Are there alternative ways of teaching in other cultures, or is mathematics teaching pretty much the same everywhere? As was pointed out earlier, a major obstacle in our efforts to improve education is the dearth of information about what is happening in our nation's classrooms. Video provides us with a unique way of gathering the information we need to examine our current practices and then improve them.\n\nVideo data, such as that collected in TIMSS, also help us discover new ideas about teaching. If alternative ways of teaching exist, video will capture them, even when they lie completely outside our society's current theories of teaching and learning. And because the new ideas are illustrated through actual classroom teaching, they can have immediate practical significance for teachers. Video information can shake up the way we think and let us take a fresh look at classrooms.\n\n## What We Have Learned  \nfrom the Video Study\n\nAs we look back over what we have learned from the TIMSS video study, several things stand out. We foreshadow these things here because they form the basis for the book you are reading.\n\nTeaching, Not Teachers, Is the Critical Factor\n\nAmericans focus on the competence of teachers. They decry the quality of applicants for teaching positions and criticize the talent of the current teaching corps. But we come away with a different conclusion: Although variability in competence is certainly visible in the videos we collected, such differences are dwarfed by the differences in teaching methods that we see across cultures. (In Chapters 2, 3, and 4 we present our analyses of teaching and describe what teaching looks like in each country.)\n\nWe have watched many examples of good teachers employing limited methods that, no matter how competently they are executed, could not lead to high levels of student achievement. Although there are teachers using extraordinary methods in all cultures, the extraordinary is not what defines most students' classroom experiences. Students' day-to-day experiences are mainly determined by the methods most commonly used by teachers within a culture. Cross-cultural differences in these commonly used methods are what we have termed the \"teaching gap.\"\n\nWhat we can see clearly is that American mathematics teaching is extremely limited, focused for the most part on a very narrow band of procedural skills. Whether students are in rows working individually or sitting in groups, whether they have access to the latest technology or are working only with paper and pencil, they spend most of their time acquiring isolated skills through repeated practice. Japanese teaching is distinguished not so much by the competence of the teachers as by the images it provides of what it can look like to teach mathematics in a deeper way, teaching for conceptual understanding. Students in Japanese classrooms spend as much time solving challenging problems and discussing mathematical concepts as they do practicing skills.\n\nTeaching Is a Cultural Activity\n\nTo put it simply, we were amazed at how much teaching varied across cultures and how little it varied within cultures. When we started, we believed there would be great variability in teaching methods within the United States. Political battles between advocates of, among other teaching techniques, phonics and whole language, and basic skills and conceptual understanding, would lead most Americans to assume that there are many different paths that teachers can follow. But these differences paled when we looked across countries from a cross-cultural, comparative perspective. Although we saw variation in the U.S. videos we collected, comparing them with videos from Germany and Japan allowed us to see something we could not see before: a distinctly American way of teaching, which differs markedly from the German way and from the Japanese way.\n\nTeaching is a cultural activity. We learn how to teach indirectly, through years of participation in classroom life, and we are largely unaware of some of the most widespread attributes of teaching in our own culture. (In Chapters 5 and 6 we pull together what we have learned about teaching and argue that if we are going to improve teaching, we must appreciate its cultural character.) The fact that teaching is a cultural activity explains why teaching has been so resistant to change. But recognizing the cultural nature of teaching gives us new insights into what we need to do if we wish to improve it.\n\nA Gap in Methods for Improving Teaching\n\nFinally, we have learned a great deal from the video study about the results of efforts to improve teaching in the United States. Earlier in this chapter we pointed to the dearth of information about the effects that educational policies have in the classroom. The videos provide us with this kind of information, and it is quite striking. Although most U.S. teachers report trying to improve their teaching with current reform recommendations in mind, the videos show little evidence that change is occurring. Furthermore, when teachers do change their practice, it is often in only superficial ways.\n\nThis will not surprise those who have worked in the field of teacher professional development. The problem of how to improve teaching on a wide scale is one that has been seriously underestimated by policymakers, reformers, and the public in this country. The American approach has been to write and distribute reform documents and ask teachers to implement the recommendations contained in such documents. Those who have worked on this problem understand that this approach simply does not work. The teaching profession does not have enough knowledge about what constitutes effective teaching, and teachers don't have a means of successfully sharing such knowledge with one another.\n\nTo really improve teaching we must invest far more than we do now in generating and sharing knowledge about teaching. This is another sort of teaching gap. Compared with other countries, the United States clearly lacks a system for developing professional knowledge and for giving teachers the opportunity to learn about teaching. American teachers, compared with those in Japan, for example, have no means of contributing to the gradual improvement of teaching methods or of improving their own skills. American teachers are left alone, an action sometimes justified on grounds of freedom, independence, and professionalism. This is not good enough if we want excellent schools in the next century. (In Chapters 7, 8, and 9 we discuss the problem of how to improve teaching, and offer a proposal to make improving teaching the focus of our efforts to close the achievement gap.)\n\nWe opened this chapter by describing the opportunities that exist at present for improving education. In this positive environment, the challenge that awaits our nation is to find a way to improve classroom teaching so that our educational goals can be realized.\n\n## CHAPTER 2\n\n## Methods for Studying  \nTeaching in Germany,  \nJapan, and the United  \nStates\n\nTHE STORY OF the TIMSS video study begins in 1993, when, for the first time in history, plans were made to videotape an international sample of eighth-grade mathematics teachers. Each teacher would be videotaped teaching one lesson in his or her own classroom.\n\nImagine a videographer, Ron Kelly, traveling around the United States for seven months, loaded with equipment, taping in a different school each day. At the same time, Andrea Lindenthal was driving around her native Germany, filming a different mathematics lesson each day, and Tadayuki Miyashiro was doing the same thing in Japan. They all were collecting data for the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.\n\n## Birth of the TIMSS Video Study\n\nPlanning for TIMSS was largely funded by the U.S. government, through the National Center for Education Statistics and the National Science Foundation. Long before any data were collected, teams of researchers were meeting and designing the tests and questionnaires that would be administered in forty-one countries. Most officials anticipated that American students would not fare well in the cross-national comparisons. The previous international comparisons had provided ample warning. But many of those involved in planning this study now understood that just worrying about low achievement scores would not help improve the scores. This time, officials wanted to be ready to discuss the reasons for low levels of student achievement and to suggest ways to improve achievement. They consulted widely with experts in mathematics and science education, looking for new ways of studying the processes that lead to student learning.\n\nFrom early on, there was a great deal of interest in collecting information on classroom instruction. Yet there was little agreement on how to do this. Previous large-scale international work had relied on questionnaires to collect information, a relatively inexpensive procedure. Perhaps teachers could be sent a questionnaire and asked to describe the methods they used. The problem was that it would be hard to interpret their responses. It is difficult to know how accurately teachers describe their methods and what they mean by the words they use. For example, if a teacher says she does \"problem solving\" (currently a popular phrase) with her students, what, exactly, does she do? Different teachers use the same words to mean different things.\n\nVideotaping teachers teaching in their own classrooms would solve this problem, but it was a radical idea. Video has been around for some time, and researchers have used it to study teaching. But no one had used video to collect a national sample of anything, certainly not teaching. The logistical problems alone were daunting. But the opportunity to peer into the classrooms of various countries was too exciting to pass up.\n\nSo was born the video study. Because the goal was to find out more about some of the things that might account for students' performance, the planners wanted to videotape teaching in a variety of countries. But which ones? Videotaping in all forty-one countries was impossible, for both logistical and financial reasons. Three countries were chosen: the United States, Japan, and Germany. Japan was an obvious choice because it has always scored near the top in international comparisons of mathematics achievement. Germany, though it had not participated previously in the large international studies, was also considered an important comparison country, because Germany, like Japan, is a major economic competitor of the United States. The stage was set.\n\n## Goals of the TIMSS  \nVideo Study\n\nAlthough the challenges of using video on a large scale are considerable, the major goals of the TIMSS video study were simple and straightforward:\n\n  1. To learn how eighth-grade mathematics is taught in the United States.\n  2. To learn how eighth-grade mathematics is taught in two comparison countries, Germany and Japan.\n  3. To learn something about the way American teachers view reform and whether they are implementing teaching reforms in their classrooms.\n\nThese goals point us toward the first step we must take to improve education in the United States. They focus attention on classroom teaching and on collecting basic information on the instructional methods we currently are using. They allow us to answer fundamental questions that until now we could only guess at: \"How do most American teachers teach?\" and \"How does this compare with how their peers in other countries teach?\"\n\n## Research Methods:  \nThe Nuts and Bolts\n\nWe started this chapter with three videographers, one in each country, traveling from school to school. Let us go back to describe in more detail how the video study was conducted.\n\nOnce inside the classroom, the videographers collected two main types of data: a videotape of the lesson and a questionnaire response from the teacher. They also collected supplementary materials, such as copies of textbook pages or worksheets, that were helpful for understanding the lesson. Each classroom was videotaped for one complete lesson on a date convenient for the teacher.\n\nBecause there are a number of ways in which the integrity of a study like this could be undermined, it is important to understand a few key features of the study. Having confidence in the findings depends on knowing how we dealt with the following issues.\n\nWhich Classrooms Should Be Videotaped?\n\nThe sample of the study is crucial: If we were to produce a national-level portrait of eighth-grade mathematics instruction, we needed to be sure that the sample of teachers was representative of eighth-grade mathematics teachers. Fortunately, the TIMSS sampling plan was highly sophisticated, and the video sample was constructed to be a random subsample of the full TIMSS sample.\n\nSelecting classroom lessons was not easy. Schools were selected first, then teachers, and then classes. Often we were asked by the school to substitute one teacher for another, or by the teacher to videotape a different class period than the one that had been sampled. We allowed no substitutions of either sort, because to do so would have introduced bias into the study.\n\nThe final sample was a \"national probability sample.\" This technical term means that every eighth-grade math teacher in the country and each of the teacher's classes had an equal chance of being selected for the study. This was true in all three of the countries studied. The final video study sample included 231 eighth-grade mathematics classrooms: 100 in Germany. 50 in Japan, and 81 in the United States. Although the number of lessons was not large, because they were sampled randomly we could be sure that they approximated, in their totality, the mathematics instruction to which students in the three countries were exposed. In short, we had a sample that met the highest standards in statistical methodology.\n\nWill the Camera Change What the Teacher Does?\n\nMany people wonder whether the videotapes show what teachers normally do when the camera is not present. Teachers knew, after all, that the videographer was coming. Surely they would try to prepare in some way. They might even go so far as to design a special lesson just for the videotaping. Even if this did not happen, the presence of the camera might affect a teacher's behavior in subtle, unconscious ways. This was a serious concern, and we did not take it lightly.\n\nWe explained the goal of the study to all the teachers and asked them to teach the same lesson they would have taught if the camera had not been there. Most teachers do not want to bias a research study, but some might inadvertently do so to please or impress the researchers. We told them we wanted to see a typical lesson, the one they had originally scheduled for that day.\n\nTo check on typicality, we asked teachers to describe in the questionnaire what they did in the same class the previous day and what they were planning to do the next day. This helped us to determine whether the teacher had taught a special, standalone lesson for the camera or whether, as we hoped, the taped lesson fit within an ongoing sequence. Teachers' responses indicate that few lessons were stand-alone, and we believe most were quite typical.\n\nFinally, we used common sense in deciding the kinds of indicators that might be susceptible to bias and took this into account when interpreting the results. It seems likely, for example, that students were on their best behavior in front of the camera, so we believe the videotapes do not show the normal frequency with which teachers must discipline students. On the other hand, it seems unlikely that teachers asked completely different kinds of questions while being videotaped than they did when the camera was not present. Some behaviors, such as the routines of classroom discourse, are so highly socialized that they are almost automatic and are difficult to change.\n\nTurning Videos into Information\n\nAfter we collected the videos, the difficult task of analysis began. Meaning is not contained in the videos; it must be constructed by the researcher through a difficult and painstaking process. We began this process in May 1994 with a set of nine trial tapes from each country. A team of six code developers\u2014two from Germany, two from Japan, and two from the United States\u2014and several mathematics educators spent the summer at UCLA watching and discussing the contents of the tapes. Our goal was to understand how teachers construct and implement lessons in each country, and to develop a common language for describing the lessons.\n\nThe process was a straightforward one: we would watch a tape (subtitled in English), discuss it, and then watch another. Anyone could stop the tape at any time. The discussion was so vigorous that it often would take a day or more to get through a single lesson. There were disagreements in the group about the contents of the tapes, and especially about how to describe them. But gradually, as we worked our way through the twenty-seven tapes, we began to develop a common view of the nature of teaching in the three countries. More than that, we began to develop a coding system to compare teaching across the three countries.\n\nMany people who are unfamiliar with behavioral research do not understand how it is possible to code video objectively. They assume that there is only one thing to do with video: watch it. But there is a great deal more one can do. It is possible to move beyond individual impressions and identify features of the events portrayed in a video objectively, so that anyone who watches can agree. These objective judgments can be used to quantify the events on the video so that one can know how frequently different categories of activities occur.\n\nThe process begins with a discovery that is turned into a hypothesis. For example, we might notice that German teachers develop concepts more fully than do U.S. teachers, or that Japanese teachers ask more open-ended questions than do German and U.S. teachers. We then propose this \"discovery\" as a hypothesis. The next step is to write a definition that will communicate to other coders what \"counts as\" developing a concept or as asking an open-ended question. Anyone who has engaged in this process knows that it is not easy to write such a definition. But it can be done. For example, how do you even know something is a question? Would something like \"Do you think you could open the door?\" count as a question just because it ends with a question mark? Clearly it should not, because in American culture such a statement is a request, not a question.\n\nThe test of how successful we were in developing objective codes was the degree to which independent coders made the same judgment when viewing the same segment of video. The convention in behavioral research is to accept as reliable only those codes on which independent coders make the same decision at least 80 percent of the time. All the codes we discuss in this book met this criterion.\n\nThe process of turning videos into information yielded two kinds of products: impressions or images of teaching in each country, and quantified results that indicate how often specific features of teaching occur in each country. The images are vivid and powerful. One picture, it is said, is worth a thousand words; one video may be worth millions. On the other hand, the images produced by video can be too powerful, because they can focus attention on one striking example, even when the example is not typical. Coded data help correct these errors and may themselves lead to interesting discoveries. So both kinds of information are crucial for learning about teaching across cultures.\n\nWe now turn to the results of the study, and we begin with the first kind of information\u2014images of teaching in Germany, Japan, and the United States.\n\n## CHAPTER 3\n\n## Images of Teaching\n\nIN THE FALL of 1994, after several months of watching tapes, the project staff met to present some preliminary impressions and interpretations. We invited distinguished researchers and educators from Germany, Japan, and the United States to attend, and we listened intently to what they had to say. We were ready for a fresh perspective. It came late on the last day of the meeting. One of the participants, a professor of mathematics education, had been relatively silent throughout the day. We asked him if he had any observations he would like to share.\n\n\"Actually,\" he began, \"I believe I can summarize the main differences among the teaching styles of the three countries.\" Everyone perked up at this, and here is what he had to say: \"In Japanese lessons, there is the mathematics on one hand, and the students on the other. The students engage with the mathematics, and the teacher mediates the relationship between the two. In Germany, there is the mathematics as well, but the teacher owns the mathematics and parcels it out to students as he sees fit, giving facts and explanations at just the right time. In U.S. lessons, there are the students and there is the teacher. I have trouble finding the mathematics; I just see interactions between students and teachers.\"\n\nMany of those present were somewhat dumbfounded by this description. How grossly oversimplified it seemed! It also was harshly critical of the American style of teaching and was disturbing to hear. But the image stayed with us, and as we watched the tapes over and over we began to understand that our colleague had captured an important aspect of what we saw in the tapes from all three countries. Although perhaps oversimplified, our colleague's description helped us to see features that might otherwise have been hidden within the noise and complexity of classroom life. Simplified descriptions provide an important starting point for understanding complex activities, provided we are open to revising, tempering, or even discarding them when they outlive their usefulness.\n\nWe begin our journey into the TIMSS videos with our own simplified descriptions of teaching in each country. We then present a typical lesson from each country. Because we realize that the typical lesson could never describe every teacher, we conclude the chapter by reporting some ways in which lessons might vary from the typical. Our goal is to help create accurate and rich visual images of teaching in each country.\n\n## Preliminary Descriptions  \nof Teaching\n\nOur impression is that teachers in Germany are in charge of the mathematics and that the mathematics is quite advanced, at least procedurally. In many lessons, teachers lead students through a development of procedures for solving general classes of problems. There is concern for technique, where technique includes both the rationale that underlies the procedure and the precision with which the procedure is executed. A good motto for German teaching would be \"developing advanced procedures.\"\n\nIn Japan, teachers appear to take a less active role, allowing their students to invent their own procedures for solving problems. And these problems are quite demanding, both procedurally and conceptually. Teachers, however, carefully design and orchestrate lessons so that students are likely to use procedures that have been developed recently in class. An appropriate motto for Japanese teaching would be \"structured problem solving.\"\n\nIn the United States, content is not totally absent, as was portrayed by our colleague, but the level is less advanced and requires much less mathematical reasoning than in the other two countries. Teachers present definitions of terms and demonstrate procedures for solving specific problems. Students are then asked to memorize the definitions and practice the procedures. In the United States, the motto is \"learning terms and practicing procedures.\"\n\nWhat do the mottoes \"developing advanced procedures,\" \"structured problem solving,\" and \"learning terms and practicing procedures\" look like in actual classrooms? In the following sections we describe three actual lessons selected to typify the lessons sampled from each country.\n\n## Portraits of Eighth-Grade  \nMathematics Lessons\n\nThe Classrooms\n\nEven though the videotaped classrooms are located thousands of miles apart and in different cultures, they look much the same. Rows of students' desks, posters on the walls, the teacher's desk and a chalkboard in front\u2014all provide few clues about the country from which the video comes. Students filing into class, individually and in pairs, jostling and joking and laughing, create a remarkably similar atmosphere in each country.\n\nBut there are differences. Although German and American students often dress alike\u2014casually, in denim pants and T-shirts or sweatshirts\u2014Japanese students usually dress in school uniforms: special jackets for boys, blouses and skirts for girls. There are fewer students in the German and U.S. classrooms than in the Japanese classrooms. The national average for eighth-grade class size in each country is twenty-five in Germany and the United States, and thirty-seven in Japan.\n\nThe typical lessons we describe in this chapter are from classrooms found in somewhat different school situations. In Germany, eighth-graders attend different schools based on their academic achievements and aspirations. The classroom we describe is located in a Realschule, the middle track of the three-tiered German school system. Most students attending a Realschule will not go on to university, but many expect to enroll in a technical or vocational college. The classroom in Japan is located in a small-city public school with no special distinctions. Japan has no system for tracking students in elementary and middle school. All eighth-graders take the same mathematics course, so the classroom we describe contains students of mixed achievement levels. The classroom in the United States is located in a large public school in the suburbs of a sprawling metropolitan area. The school offers only one mathematics course in eighth grade, so, as in Japan, the classroom contains students of mixed achievement levels.\n\nWhat about the lessons themselves? Again, there are some interesting similarities and some striking differences. The lessons we describe are about the same length, forty-five to fifty minutes. Some of the time in each lesson is devoted to teacher presentation, some to class discussion, and some to student work. But if the mottoes suggested earlier mean anything, there must be some significant differences in what happens during these activities and how they are arranged. To really understand the differences in classroom teaching, one needs to look carefully at the details of typical lessons, because this is where the teaching gap is revealed. The teaching gap is not an abstract idea concocted by ivory tower researchers; the teaching gap is a set of real differences in the teaching methods used every day in typical classrooms. These differences that accumulate over time and across the country are bound to affect what and how students learn.\n\nStudying the details of lesson design is important but not always easy. The following table might be helpful because it gives an overview of the three lessons we describe and it includes our observations about what features of the lessons typify teaching in each country. To appreciate the sometimes subtle but profound differences in teaching, however, one must study the lessons themselves.\n\nA German Lesson: Developing  \nAdvanced Procedures\n\nWhen the bell rings, Mr. Eisner, the teacher, greets the students: \"Good morning.\" The students respond, \"Good morning,\" and Mr. Eisner says, \"Okay, let's start right away, as usual, with our homework.\" As students pull out their worksheets, Mr. Eisner checks attendance by glancing around the room and recording the students who are absent.\n\nChecking Homework. Mr. Eisner then calls on students, one at a time, to give the answer to the next problem on the worksheet. After each response, he looks up to see if anyone disagrees. If so, he asks for other responses and endorses one of these as correct, or explains why the error might have been made and gives the correct answer. The first eleven problems are quite straightforward. They require finding the measure of the third angle in a triangle, given the first two, as in the drawing below. Students must simply add the measures of the two angles and subtract from 180 to find the measure of the missing angle.\n\nBut the next problems are more challenging. One presents the drawing below and asks students to find the angles labeled with capital letters. Students apparently had more trouble with these at home, and there is disagreement about the answers.\n\nMr. Eisner asks a volunteer to come to the board to explain the solution. As the student works, Mr. Eisner corrects errors, elaborates on the descriptions provided by the students, and makes sure students are using correct mathematical language. The discussion regarding the problem shown above begins as follows.\n\nThe rest of this problem, and the remaining homework problems (twenty-two in all), are checked in a similar way. It is now fourteen minutes into the lesson.\n\nPresenting the Topic for the Day. Mr. Eisner presents the new problem that will define today's lesson.\n\nAfter the construction, which takes about five minutes, Mr. Eisner asks the students to \"mark on the edge of the circle five arbitrary points and call them C1, C2,... C5\" and then \"connect with point A and point B so five triangles emerge.\" A sample drawing now looks like this:\n\nMr. Eisner asks the students to measure, with their protractors, all five angles at the five C's. After a few minutes, the students begin reporting that all five angles are the same size; they all measure 90 degrees. Mr. Eisner pretends to be startled by this result and tries to get students to share his surprise. He then notes that an ancient Greek mathematician (Thales) found that all angles drawn inside a semicircle like this will measure 90 degrees. Now the stage is set, and Mr. Eisner presents the real challenge: \"We did check it, but we also want to prove it, of course.... Prove that it really has to be that way and can't be any other way.\"\n\nHere we see the advanced nature of the mathematics in German classrooms: proving the Law of Thales is a challenging task for eighth-graders.\n\nWorking Through the Proof. As is common in Germany following the presentation of a challenging problem. Mr. Eisner neither leaves the students alone to complete the task by themselves nor demonstrates a quick method that students are supposed to imitate. Using the drawing below, he leads the class through a careful development of the proof.\n\nTwo triangles, AMC and BMC, have radii for two of their sides, so they are isosceles triangles. This means that each triangle has a pair of equal angles. By locating these angles in the drawing, it is possible to see that angle C comprises one angle equal to angle A and one angle equal to angle B. The sum of the three angles (A, B, and C) is 180 degrees, because they make up the large triangle ABC. Because angle C must be the same as angle A plus angle B, the measure of angle C must be exactly half of the 180 degrees, or 90 degrees. Mr. Eisner leads students through this proof step by step, asking students to respond to short-answer questions along the way.\n\nReviewing the Topic. It is now thirty-five minutes into the lesson, and Mr. Eisner hands out two pages summarizing the Law of Thales and its history. He selects students to read aloud small sections of the handout and asks if there are questions.\n\nAssigning Homework. The lesson concludes with the assignment of homework. The problems require finding the measure of missing angles. Some involve the Law of Thales, some a review of previous work. Mr. Eisner asks if there are any questions about the problems, then says, \"Okay. You can start with that until the bell.\" One minute later, forty-five minutes after the lesson began (about average for a German lesson), the bell rings.\n\nA Japanese Lesson: Structured Problem Solving\n\nFrom an American point of view, the Japanese lesson begins in a rather striking way. At the signal from the student monitor, all the students stand and bow, in unison, to the teacher. The teacher bows in return, and the lesson is officially under way.\n\nReviewing Yesterday's Lesson. After the customary exchange of bows, the students sit down and engage in a bit of joking with Mr. Yoshida, the teacher, about the video camera. Mr. Yoshida begins the lesson by reviewing the conclusion of the previous day's lesson. He notes that they had been working with \"the relationship between parallel lines\" and had ended by doing some problems. \"Do you remember what they were?\" he asks. There is no response, so he asks the students to get out the worksheet and look again at the first problem, which asked them to find the measure of the angle marked with an \"x\" in the drawing below. \"We hurried through this problem,\" he says, \"and were not able to summarize it well.\" Several solution methods had been presented, but briefly, and Mr. Yoshida asks the students to look again at the problem and finish it \"with the method you think is easiest.... If you can give an explanation, that would be terrific.\"\n\nAfter two minutes, he asks the students to present what they have found. Three different methods are presented by students, all based on drawing an additional line segment. In some cases, a triangle is formed and students then use what they already know about measures of triangles to find the measure of angle x. After each presentation, Mr. Yoshida asks how many students used that procedure. He concludes this ten-minute segment by summarizing each of the three methods, pointing out the usefulness of drawing additional lines when finding the measures of some angles.\n\nPresenting the Problem for the Day. The lesson continues with the problem for the day.\n\nWorking on the Problem Individually. As in the German lesson, the teacher presents a problem to the students that is mathematically challenging for eighth-graders. What is different is that Mr. Yoshida now asks the students to work out the solutions on their own rather than leading the class in developing the solution. Of course, students already have learned some methods that will help them get started.\n\nFor the next ten minutes, the students work individually on constructing a problem for their peers to solve and on making sure they can solve it themselves. Mr. Yoshida circulates around the room, answering questions and giving hints. He appears increasingly concerned that students are not making more progress and finally says, \"Well, it seems it was a little hard. I made a mistake. There are many of you that are in trouble.... Get in your groups, and from the problems you have made, pick a problem you and the others think is challenging, and group leaders please bring them up. Please check if the problem really can be solved and then bring it up.\"\n\nWorking on the Problem in Groups. As the students rearrange their desks, they move around the room and joke with one another about how hard the problems are that they have constructed. The noise gradually subsides, and after about two minutes, the leaders of the groups begin bringing up their problems for Mr. Yoshida to diagram on the chalkboard. After Mr. Yoshida records one problem for each of the six groups (see the diagrams below), he says, \"These are the problems. We don't know whether we can solve them or not until we try.... It seems impossible to do all of them in this lesson, so we'll think about them a little next time, too. Please hurry and copy the six problems.\"\n\nAs students copy the problems, Mr. Yoshida walks around the room, observing students' work and commenting periodically about how difficult the students have made some of the problems. It soon becomes apparent that the students are trying to solve the problems as they copy them. Mr. Yoshida might have intended this, and he certainly does not discourage it. The students are still sitting in their groups; some are working together as a group, some are working in pairs, and some are working individually. After about ten minutes, Mr. Yoshida asks how many students have solved each of the problems. He then continues to circulate around the room, mostly observing as students continue to work.\n\nStudents have been working at their seats, either individually or in small groups, for about twenty minutes now, an unusually long segment of seatwork for a Japanese lesson, and they will continue in this way for another nine minutes. As the students continue to work, they occasionally raise their hands and ask Mr. Yoshida to look at what they have done. It is apparent that some students become excited at finding solutions to the problems that Mr. Yoshida identified as being especially difficult. Mr. Yoshida studies their solutions but refuses to comment on whether they are correct.\n\nSummarizing the Main Point. The period is almost over, and Mr. Yoshida interrupts to say, \"I know this is bothersome, but I want to know the present situation.\" He then asks how many students have solved each problem. He concludes the lesson by observing, \"There are a lot of people who are using triangles. That's okay, but there are three types of auxiliary lines. Sometimes there are easier methods of solving these problems using other types of auxiliary lines. We will check these in the next period.\" His brief summary is more compressed than is typical for a Japanese lesson. The bell has already rung, forty-nine minutes after the lesson began (near average for a Japanese lesson), and the students now push their chairs back, stand, and bow.\n\nA U.S. Lesson: Learning Terms  \nand Practicing Procedures\n\nWarming Up. The video begins with Mr. Jones, the teacher, conducting a \"warm-up\" activity. He points to the top left-hand drawing on the chalkboard (shown below).\n\nChecking Homework. After five minutes of this quick-paced review, Mr. Jones asks the students to \"get out the worksheet I gave earlier in the week and make sure we understand complementary, supplementary, and angle measurements.\" The class goes over the worksheet in a similar way: Mr. Jones asks students for answers and continues questioning them until they give the correct answer. The class checks thirty-six problems on the worksheet during six minutes of question-and-answer interaction.\n\nDemonstrating Procedures. Reviewing previous work by checking homework is reminiscent of the German lesson. But the next activity is quite different from both the German and the Japanese lessons. Rather than presenting a topic or problem for the day, Mr. Jones distributes a worksheet that contains problems that, he notes, are \"just like the warm-up.\" At the top of the worksheet is a sample problem with the solution and a suggested method shown. Mr. Jones takes a minute to go over this with the students and then asks if there are any questions. There are none, and the students begin working independently.\n\nPracticing the Procedures. The worksheet contains forty problems, and the students spend the next eleven minutes working on them. The problems, like the homework and the warm-up, emphasize terms and procedures\u2014in this case, finding the measures of complementary, supplementary, and vertical angles. Mr. Jones circulates around the room, answering questions and giving hints.\n\nThe lesson clearly has taken a different turn from those in Germany and Japan. The mathematics is quite simple compared with that found in the previous two lessons. But more than that, the teaching method is different. In the German lesson, the teacher led the students through the development of some advanced mathematical procedures. In the U.S. lesson, the development is limited to a quick demonstration. As in the Japanese lesson, students in the U.S. classroom spend the heart of the lesson working on assigned problems. But American students are asked to practice the demonstrated procedures on many simple problems rather than to develop procedures for solving a few challenging problems.\n\nAs Mr. Jones walks around the room, he begins receiving questions about problems 37 and 38. Apparently believing he should intervene when students are struggling or become confused, Mr. Jones goes to the chalkboard and works these two problems with the whole class. He begins with problem 38: \"Write an equation that represents the sentence: The product of 12 and a number K is 192.\" Mr. Jones writes \"12K\" on the board and asks students what to write next. One student says \"Equal sign,\" and Mr. Jones completes the equation: \"12K = 192.\" It might strike the reader as curious that this task has nothing to do with the day's lesson (calculating the measures of angles), but some American curriculum materials include review of earlier topics in later problem sets. In fact, it is not uncommon to find this kind of topic switch during U.S. lessons.\n\nThe discussion then turns to problem 37: \"Angle QRS has the same measure as its supplement. Find m < QRS.\" Mr. Jones shows that the answer must be 90 degrees. Even these two problems, which were perceived to be the most difficult on the worksheet, are quite simple compared with those encountered by the German and Japanese students.\n\nDemonstrating More Procedures. Mr. Jones gives the students two more minutes to finish the worksheet and then asks them to get out the worksheet they completed the previous Friday, after a quiz. One of the problems asked students to measure the interior angles of a hexagon (shown below) and compute the total. Mr. Jones asks if everyone got an answer close to 720 degrees. He then proceeds to the second part of the problem.\n\n(It must be noted here that, based on what students have studied to this point, there is no way they can know the answer to Mr. Jones's opening question, or that the number of angles is the crucial fact in finding the sum of the angle measures. But the nature and tone of teachers' questions often give away the answer, and a number of students apparently picked up on these cues and answered the questions appropriately.)\n\nBy giving the students this formula, Mr. Jones has just taken a problem that could have been challenging for the students (at a level similar to that in Germany and Japan) and changed it into a routine problem for which they must simply follow a rule. One of the features that make this lesson typical of teaching in the United States is just this: stating rules, rather than developing procedures, and thereby turning mathematics into a matter of following rules and practicing procedures.\n\nReviewing Procedures and Definitions. After using the formula to calculate the sum of the interior angles in a triangle, Mr. Jones makes several announcements about upcoming activities and future quizzes and tests. He then conducts a quick oral review with the class on the meaning of terms such as complementary, supplementary, obtuse angle, and acute angle. A few minutes remain, and Mr. Jones tells the students to use the time \"to finish up any of this, and ask me questions.\" The lesson ends with a bell, forty-eight minutes after it began (about average for the United States).\n\n## Variations on a Theme\n\nAfter watching these lessons, and many others like them, we developed the images of teaching, complete with mottoes, that we sketched at the beginning of this chapter. But we noted then that these images are, in many ways, too simplistic. Why? Because there is a range of lessons in each country. Many lessons look much like the ones we have described, and it is from these that the simple images were formed. But some lessons look quite different. We can form richer images of teaching by seeing the full spectrum of lessons.\n\nGerman Variations: More Practice  \nand More Student Participation\n\nThe spectrum of lessons in Germany moves out from the center in two different directions. Some lessons focus more on practicing skills already learned than does the lesson taught by Mr. Eisner; other lessons include more student exploration of concepts and procedures.\n\nPracticing skills is illustrated by a lesson on solving linear equations. The lesson begins with the teacher reporting that the students' performance on a recent test was not very good and suggesting that more practice is needed. The teacher asks two students to come to the chalkboard, and he dictates a problem for each of them. The first problem is (2x \u2212 3)\/3 \u2212 (3x + 4)\/4 \u2212 \u22129\/20 \u2212 (4x \u2212 3)\/5. The rest of the students are expected to watch and correct errors as the two students work through the problems at the chalkboard. The teacher carefully monitors the step-by-step procedures of both students, often asking questions and correcting errors. After the two students finish, the teacher asks if there are questions and calls two more students to the front, dictating two new problems. The entire lesson proceeds in the same way. Some aspects of the lesson are quite typical: students working on complex procedures at the chalkboard with the teacher monitoring progress; and the teacher orchestrating a whole-class question-and-answer discussion of the solutions. But the emphasis on skills already learned, without the development of a new concept, is different from most lessons.\n\nThe second kind of variation\u2014more student participation in developing the mathematics\u2014is illustrated by the following lesson. The teacher begins by reviewing the main point from the previous lesson: special polygons, like squares and equilateral triangles, are defined by special relationships and special properties of their sides, angles, and so on. The teacher then distributes cardboard models of a variety of special polygons and asks the students to find all of the special properties they can\u2014sizes and relationships of sides and angles, and axes of symmetry. Students work together in small groups, and after about fifteen minutes group representatives come to the front, one at a time, and fill in the cells of a large chart, answering \"yes\" or \"no\" to statements such as \"sides are equal,\" \"angles are equal,\" and \"diagonals are axes of symmetry\" with respect to their polygon. One polygon, the kite, creates considerable disagreement among the students. The teacher demonstrates again how to check special properties and asks everyone to reexamine the kite.\n\nAs we put together the typical features with the variations, our image of German mathematics teaching as \"developing advanced procedures\" still seems appropriate. In Mr. Eisner's lesson, the procedures were methods for proving the Law of Thales, a powerful and rich theorem in geometry. The two variations can be interpreted as complements to the theme. In one case, the emphasis shifts from the initial development of procedures to proficiency of execution. In the second case, the teacher allows the students to participate more directly in the development of the procedures, at least for a short time. But the teacher is still in control, carefully constraining the task to ensure certain outcomes. Both kinds of variation support the image of the knowledgeable teacher leading students through the development of advanced mathematical procedures.\n\nJapanese Variations: Teacher Telling  \nand Students Memorizing\n\nAt first glance, the variations we find in Japanese lessons appear to conflict sharply with the lesson presented by Mr. Yoshida. It is not even clear that the typical lessons and the variations fit along the same spectrum. We see teachers lecturing about a topic or telling students how to solve a problem or asking students to memorize properties or facts through repeated recitation. It is especially interesting that when these activities occur, they often are put together, in the same lesson, with students' solving problems and sharing solution methods. From an American point of view, this looks rather odd.\n\nIn one lesson, the teacher begins by identifying the new topic that will continue for several weeks\u2014the analysis of polygons. For the next thirty-five minutes, he lectures. He talks about historical discoveries, about the prevalence of these figures in the real world, and about the fact that this topic is more closely related to the previous one\u2014linear functions\u2014than students might think, because both search for relationships. He concludes by posting the goal for mathematics: \"To learn to think logically while searching for new properties and relationships.\" He asks students to repeat this goal several times and memorize it. The teacher then says that the first task will be to study relationships among angles, and he draws a large X on the board. He asks students to draw a similar X on their papers and to use a protractor to investigate the relationships among the angles. \"Write down things you notice,\" he says. After five minutes the students share what they've found, including that the angles opposite each other are equal. The teacher wonders aloud whether this would always be true. Could it be proved? He then, with large hints, helps students discover a proof.\n\nIn another lesson, the teacher begins by reviewing three properties of parallelograms that they have developed thus far, such as \"opposite sides are of equal length.\" He posts the three statements, and the students spend fifteen minutes reciting them. The class recites them together, then a student stands and recites them alone, then they spend one minute reciting them quietly to themselves, and then they repeat the process. The teacher concludes this activity by saying that students need to remember the properties because they will need them. He then presents the picture shown below and says, \"If ABCD is a parallelogram and BE equals DF, prove that AE equals CF.\" The proof, not surprisingly, uses the properties just recited, and the students are asked to develop and share several different proofs.\n\nAt first glance, these two lessons look quite different from the one taught by Mr. Yoshida. But after viewing them several times, we can see how they complement the image of \"structured problem solving.\" When students are asked to solve challenging problems, teachers often build scaffolds to help them. The scaffolds come in many forms. Sometimes they are the outcomes of previous lessons, reviewed by the teacher (as in Mr. Yoshida's lesson). Sometimes they are in the form of information provided through lectures, and sometimes in the form of mental tools provided through memorization. What is constant is that challenging problems are selected and scaffolds are provided so that students can, at the least, begin developing methods for solution.\n\nNot every lesson, however, fits neatly along this spectrum. In one lesson, the teacher says that today they will be talking about the solutions and graphs for simultaneous linear equations. She then leads the students through a twenty-five-minute review of graphing linear equations, showing them how they can translate any form to y = mx + b and can then graph the equation easily. She then shows that when two equations are graphed on the same axes, they often intersect in one point, and this point is special\u2014it has coordinates that satisfy both equations. Throughout the entire discussion, she asks students short-answer questions and accepts their responses, but she essentially tells the students what they need to know and how to solve the problems.\n\nThis lesson shows that \"structured problem solving\" does not capture the full range of Japanese instruction. Indeed, it seems that the teaching method in this lesson is more like the methods typically used in Germany than the methods typically used in Japan. If nothing else, the lesson reminds us that not all teachers within the same country use the same methods.\n\nU.S. Variations: More Review and More Student Participation\n\nAs in Germany, the spectrum of lessons in the United States moves out from the most common in two different directions: even more review than in Mr. Jones's lesson on one side, and more student participation on the other.\n\nIn one lesson, the teacher announces that students will have time to review for the upcoming chapter test. Apparently referring to the suggestions in the teacher's manual, the teacher says, \"What they said is that I shouldn't review with you; you should do it in your groups.\" The students begin reviewing. Although their desks are placed together in groups of four, most students work through the textbook review page on their own, raising their hands when they have questions. The teacher circulates around the room for the full period, answering questions and briefly tutoring individual students who need help.\n\nAnother lesson, although also review, contrasts sharply in teaching method. The teacher hands back the previous day's quiz as each student enters the room. The teacher asks the students to get into their groups and compare responses, check mistakes they made, and decide to present one problem to the class that was hard for them. During most of the lesson, group representatives, in turn, present their selections on the chalkboard and lead a class discussion about methods of solution. One problem is to solve the following systems of equations: y = 2x \u2212 9; x + 2y = 2. Another problem is to factor 8x2 + 8. Apparently, the teacher intends for students to present and discuss their methods, but she often jumps in to correct or explain or cut off discussion in order to move to the next problem. At the end of the lesson, the teacher reviews the slopeintercept form for linear equations and how it can be used to construct graphs, and then assigns twenty-five problems from the textbook for homework.\n\nBoth kinds of variations, in different ways, are consistent with our simplified U.S. image of \"learning terms and practicing procedures.\" The first kind of variation\u2014additional review\u2014simply reinforces the theme. The second kind of variation expands the image. Although the goal of the second lesson is similar to the goal of the others\u2014learn terms and practice procedures\u2014the classroom activities in which the students are engaged look quite different. Working with other students to analyze problems, presenting problems to the class, describing one's own method for solving them, and asking questions of peers\u2014all these give students a more active role than they had in either the review lesson or Mr. Jones's classroom.\n\nLessons in which students participate in this way might show the effects of the current reform efforts. There are, however, very few of these lessons, and when they do occur, the variations from the theme appear in the form of activities, not the substance. Students are seen working in small groups or engaging in a discussion about solution methods, but the mathematics is simple compared with that encountered by their German and Japanese peers, and the work and discussion are mostly about memorizing definitions for terms and following rules and procedures.\n\n## Can We Trust the Images?\n\nPortraits of individual lessons are useful when they create images of teaching that represent the way teaching actually looks. But they can be dangerous if they misrepresent the situation. It is wise to be skeptical when deciding whether the description of a few lessons creates a fair image of teaching in each country. This is especially true when dealing with activities as complex as classroom teaching.\n\nOf course, we presented these typical lessons because we believe that they are useful. They capture quite well the images of teaching that we formed while watching the tapes and discussing them with our colleagues, and we believe they are a fair representation of teaching in each country. But as we stated at the end of Chapter 2, both impressionistic reports and coded data are necessary for learning about teaching. By examining the coded data from the lessons, readers can check the claims we made about what is typical in each country. The coded data also help to refine these images of teaching. In the next chapter, we present this information and then come to some fundamental conclusions about the nature of teaching, regardless of what it looks like or where you find it.\n\n## CHAPTER 4\n\n## Refining the Images\n\nONE OF THE ADVANTAGES of comparing activities across cultures is that we can see things we might never have noticed had we looked only within our own culture. This was illustrated one day early in the study, as we sat with our colleagues watching a U.S. lesson. The teacher in the video was standing at the chalkboard, in the midst of demonstrating a procedure, when a voice came over the public address system: \"May I have your attention, please. All students riding in bus thirty-one, you will meet your bus in the rear of the school today, not in the front of the school. Teachers please take note of this and remind your students.\"\n\nA Japanese member of our team reached over and pushed STOP on the VCR. \"What was that?\" he asked. \"Oh, nothing,\" we replied as we pushed the PLAY button. \"Wait,\" protested our Japanese colleague. \"What do you mean, nothing?\" As we patiently tried to explain that it was just a P.A. announcement, he became more and more incredulous. Were we implying that it was normal to interrupt a lesson? How could that ever happen? Such interruptions would never happen in Japan, he said, because they would ruin the flow of the lesson. As he went on, we began to wonder whether this interruption was more significant than we had thought.\n\nBut wait. Before we rush to interpret these interruptions, how sure are we that the countries really differ significantly on this score? The brief interaction with our Japanese colleague demonstrates the way images like those developed in the previous chapter can begin to form. But it also shows how easy it would be to build images that turn out to be invalid. How often are U.S. lessons really interrupted, and how infrequent are such interruptions in Japan? Fortunately, we do not have to rely on images alone to guide our understanding of how classrooms look in different cultures.\n\nIn this chapter we look across all the lessons and ask whether these images hold up for the full sample. How often do teachers just state concepts or procedures rather than develop them? In what percentage of lessons do students just practice procedures versus doing creative mathematical work? How different is the mathematical content presented by teachers in the three countries? By using the coded data we can answer questions like these and refine our images of teaching in each country.\n\n## Mathematics in the Classroom\n\nOne of the most striking impressions when watching the videotapes is that students in the United States encounter a different kind of mathematics from that encountered by their peers in Germany and Japan. The content appears to be less advanced and is presented in a more piecemeal and prescriptive way. We wanted to test these impressions, because the level and nature of the content to which students are exposed set boundaries on students' learning opportunities. If the content is rich and challenging, it is more likely that students have the opportunity to learn more mathematics and to learn it more deeply. If the content is fragmented and ordinary, students have less chance of learning important mathematics. In this section, we look at three indicators of content: its level of difficulty, how extensively it is developed, and how coherently it is presented.\n\nLevel of Content\n\nIt is very difficult to say how advanced or difficult particular mathematics content is from the students' point of view, because that depends on how well students have been prepared to deal with the topic, how it is presented, what is expected of them, and so on. But we can tell how advanced a topic is, on the international yardstick, by finding where it is placed in mathematics curricula around the world. As part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), William Schmidt and his colleagues at Michigan State University conducted an analysis of the grade level at which the majority of the forty-one TIMSS countries gave the most concentrated attention to each mathematical topic.\n\nThe topics treated in the eighth-grade videotaped lessons were matched against this scale. The United States lagged significantly behind Germany and Japan. By international standards, the mathematical content of the U.S. lessons was, on average, at a mid-seventh-grade level, whereas German and Japanese lessons were at the high eighth- and beginning ninth-grade levels, respectively. This means that most eighth-graders in the United States study topics that students in many other countries encounter a year earlier.\n\nDespite the obvious importance of this finding, it cannot by itself explain the relatively poor achievement of American students. German eighth-graders were more than one year ahead of U.S. students in the level of content they were studying, yet their performance on the achievement test was not significantly higher than that of the American eighth-graders. Challenging content alone does not lead to high achievement. The same content can be taught deeply or superficially. Students learning to solve algebraic equations might be asked to grapple with such deep mathematical concepts as variables, functions, and equivalence. On the other hand, they might simply be taught to mechanically follow the steps for solving equations. Students' learning of algebra will differ depending on how the content is taught.\n\nNature of Content\n\nOne of the reasons we dubbed American teaching \"learning terms and practicing procedures\" is that lessons in the United States seemed to place greater emphasis on definitions of terms and less emphasis on underlying rationale. When we counted the number of definitions presented in all lessons, we found that there were about twice as many in the United States as in Germany or Japan.\n\nOf course, there is nothing wrong with presenting definitions in mathematics; in fact, definitions are necessary. Knowing what the terms mean is crucial for communicating about mathematics. What matters most, however, is what one does with definitions. If students simply learn definitions to increase their mathematical vocabulary, they are just scratching the mathematical surface. If students use definitions to explore the deeper properties and relationships in mathematics, then they really are doing mathematics.\n\nStudents in Mr. Jones's class, the lesson we portrayed as typical of the United States, were learning definitions of terms such as \"supplementary angles\" and \"complementary angles\" (two angles are supplementary if they form a straight line; that is, if their measures add up to 180 degrees). Problems in Mr. Jones's lesson involved finding, for example, the supplement of a 70-degree angle. Definitions were the beginning and the end of the mathematics. In contrast, the problem in one of the Japanese lessons asked students to look for relationships among the angles formed when drawing an X. By using the definition of supplementary angles, a proof was developed to show that vertical angles are always equal. This treatment of mathematics goes much beyond learning a definition.\n\nOne way to tell how deeply the mathematics is being developed is to look at the kind of reasoning that was required. In Mr. Eisner's lesson, the task required deductive reasoning, a hallmark of mathematical thinking. One begins with a statement that is accepted as true and builds a logical chain of observations to reach a conclusion that is, necessarily, true. In mathematics, deductive reasoning is often found in proofs. As it turns out, there were no mathematical proofs in U.S. lessons. In contrast, there were proofs in 53 percent of Japanese lessons and 10 percent of German lessons. Whatever students in the United States were doing with the definitions, they clearly were not using them to develop proofs of mathematical relationships.\n\nContent Elaboration\n\nMost mathematics lessons include the presentation of concepts, either by the teacher or by the students. We used the label \"concepts\" broadly to apply to all instances in which information was presented by explaining an idea, by demonstrating an idea with an example, or simply by stating the information. We were interested in whether concepts were just stated or whether they were developed. As was described in Chapter 3, Mr. Jones stated the formula for the sum of the angles in a polygon, and Mr. Eisner developed the Law of Thales. How common is this difference among countries?\n\nTo answer this question, we first divided the lessons into topic segments. Topics were defined by the TIMSS curriculum analysis referred to earlier: items such as linear measurement, ratio and proportion, division of decimals, and so on. Then we analyzed whether the concepts within each topic were developed or just stated. We defined \"developed\" quite generously to include cases in which the concept was explained or illustrated, even with a few sentences or a brief example. We found that one-fifth of the topics in U.S. lessons contained developed concepts, while four-fifths contained only stated concepts. As is shown in Figure 4.1, this distribution was nearly reversed in Germany and Japan. These data add more weight to the impression that students in Germany and Japan have richer opportunities to learn the meanings behind the formulas and procedures they are acquiring.\n\nContent Coherence\n\nOne observation we made in Chapter 3, almost as an aside, was that the mathematics seemed to be more fragmented in the U.S. lesson, as evidenced by a curious shift of topics. Students in Mr. Jones's class spent most of their time considering the measures of angles, but one problem asked them to \"Write an equation that represents the sentence: The product of 12 and a number K is 192.\" The problem had nothing to do with the main lesson topic. Was this an aberration? Does it matter?\n\nBy itself, the event is not very significant. But it raises the question of lesson coherence\u2014the connectedness or relatedness of the mathematics across the lesson. And coherence is significant. Imagine the lesson as a story. Well-formed stories consist of a sequence of events that fit together to reach the final conclusion. Ill-formed stories are scattered sets of events that don't seem to connect. As readers know, well-formed stories are easier to comprehend than ill-formed stories. And well-formed stories are like coherent lessons. They offer the students greater opportunities to make sense of what is going on.\n\nFigure 4.1. Average percentage of topics in eighth-grade mathematics lessons that contained concepts that were DEVELOPED or STATED.  \nSource: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Third International Mathematics and Science Study. Videotape Classroom Study, 1994-95.\n\nThreats to Coherence. One way to measure coherence is to look for threats to coherence, features of lessons that make it difficult to design and sustain a smoothly developing story. Threats include things like switching topics frequently, or as we noted at the beginning of this chapter, being interrupted by outside intrusions. We found that U.S. lessons contained significantly more topics than did Japanese lessons, and significantly more switches from topic to topic than both German and Japanese lessons. This may mean that the curriculum materials in the United States are trying to cover more ground than the materials in the other countries but, as we found in the previous section, are covering it less deeply.\n\nAs for interruptions, we did, in fact, find that U.S. lessons were interrupted more frequently than lessons in Germany and Japan. The interruptions came from things like announcements over the public address system and visitors who entered the room to request something, like the lunch count. As claimed by our Japanese colleague, such interruptions never occurred during the Japanese lessons. But they did occur in 13 percent of the German lessons and 31 percent of the American lessons.\n\nMaking Connections. Threats to coherence tell only part of the story. Coherence is achieved through weaving together ideas and activities. One way to help students notice how ideas are related is to explicitly point out the connections among them. For example, several minutes into a German lesson, the teacher said, \"Next is a step you really need to pay close attention to because we're dealing here with different numbers from those we dealt with yesterday.\" The teacher went on to elaborate the differences and at the same time point out connections between the previous day's work and the current day's activities. Connections can also be made between ideas within lessons. Halfway through a U.S. lesson on solving sets of linear equations, the teacher asked the students to consider an alternative procedure and related it to a point made early in the lesson: \"What might have been the other choice? What would have been the logical choice that just had the two terms? This is what Hugh was talking about at the beginning, where you have just a square term and a constant.\"\n\nWe found that although the majority of teachers in all countries made explicit links from one lesson to another, only the Japanese teachers routinely linked together the parts of a lesson. In fact, 96 percent of Japanese lessons contained explicit statements by the teacher connecting one part of the lesson with another, whereas only 40 percent of German and U.S. lessons contained such statements.\n\nOther judgments about coherence, such as the flow of mathematical connections, are quite subtle and require a good deal of mathematical sophistication. So we asked a group of four university mathematics teachers (we'll call them the Math Group) to analyze the lessons. We asked them to devise a means of systematically describing the mathematical content of each lesson along dimensions that they thought were relevant for student learning. What they found is both interesting and important.\n\nThe Math Group worked from written descriptions of the lessons that contained information on how the lesson was organized, what activities were used, what tasks were presented, the solution strategies that were presented by the teacher and the students, and so on. One advantage of using these written charts rather than the videotapes was that country-specific references, such as coin systems or students' names, could be disguised so that the Math Group did not know which lesson was from which country. To reduce the immensity of their task, we gave them a subset of lessons to analyze: fifteen geometry and fifteen algebra lessons, randomly chosen from each country, for a total of ninety lessons.\n\nAs they studied the charts, the Math Group began mapping out the mathematical ideas in different parts of each lesson and how they were related. For example, in Mr. Yoshida's lesson (Chapter 3), students first reviewed finding the measures of angles by drawing auxiliary lines. Then they were asked to construct their own problems that could be solved using auxiliary lines. This segment was related to the previous one in a number of ways: (1) it was similar to the first segment with respect to the basic mathematical ideas; (2) it was dependent on the first segment procedurally\u2014students could apply the methods they used in the first segment to begin creating and solving their problems; and (3) it extended the first segment procedurally and conceptually by increasing the complexity of the problems.\n\nIn Mr. Jones's lesson, students first reviewed complementary, supplementary, and vertical angles. Then they spent most of the lesson solving problems that were similar. \"Just like the warm-up,\" said Mr. Jones. \"All... are done the same way.\" Although most segments of the lesson were related, because the problems were similar, in terms of content there were fewer mathematical relationships from one segment to the next. For example, there was no increase in mathematical complexity from the beginning of the lesson to the end.\n\nThe Math Group captured these kinds of differences by mapping out all of the mathematical relationships between segments of lessons. They reported their results in two ways. First, they counted the number of lessons in which all segments were connected through at least one appropriate mathematical relationship. Using our story analogy, these were lessons that told a single story. Of the thirty lessons analyzed from each country, 45 percent of the U.S. lessons, 76 percent of the German lessons, and 92 percent of the Japanese lessons fit this criterion.\n\nThen the Math Group calculated a summary score for each lesson to indicate the degree to which the parts of the lesson were interrelated. By this measure, German lessons scored four times as high as U.S. lessons. Japanese lessons scored six times as high as U.S. lessons.\n\nFigure 4.2. Percentage of lessons rated as having low, medium, and high quality of mathematical content.  \nSource: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Third international Mathematics and Science Study, Videotape Classroom Study. 1994-95.\n\nOverall Quality of Content. The Math Group conducted one final analysis. They assessed the overall quality of the mathematics in each lesson with regard to its potential for helping students understand important mathematics. This subjective judgment was, of course, related to coherence, but it also took into account the two aspects of mathematics we considered earlier\u2014the level of challenge and how the content was developed. The Math Group sorted the lessons into three quality categories: low, medium, and high. Remember, they did not know which lessons came from which countries. The results are shown in Figure 4.2. In the judgment of these experienced mathematicians and mathematics teachers, American students were at a clear disadvantage in their opportunities to learn, at least as indicated by the mathematics content of their lessons.\n\nSummary\n\nAn initial indication of the learning opportunities for students in a mathematics classroom is the nature and level of mathematics that is on the playing field. What is in the lesson, substance-wise, for the students to use to construct mathematical knowledge? We have learned that, in this regard, U.S. students are at a disadvantage. They encounter mathematics that is at a lower level, is somewhat more superficial, and is not as fully or coherently developed as the mathematics encountered by their German and Japanese peers. These findings add to the impressions formed in Chapter 3. Indeed, when the coded data are examined, differences in the content of the lessons appear to be even larger than when individual lessons are compared. U.S. students encounter less-challenging mathematics, and because it is presented in a less-coherent way, they must work harder to make sense of it than their peers in Germany and Japan. Still, this is not the whole story.\n\n## Engaging Students  \nin Mathematics\n\nDifferences among the lessons of Messrs. Eisner, Yoshida, and Jones seemed to lie in more than just the content. The way in which students were asked to engage in mathematics seemed to be different. In the German and U.S. lessons, students participated mostly by giving brief responses to the teacher's specific questions. Although the level of mathematics was higher in Germany, in both countries the teacher did most of the mathematical work In Japan, the reverse seemed to be true. The typical Japanese lesson invited students to do more of the mathematical work. How prevalent are these characteristics of lessons in each country?\n\nLesson Organization\n\nThe way a lesson is organized provides a shell, or context, within which the teacher engages students in learning the subject. All the teachers tended to divide their lessons into periods of classwork and seatwork. Classwork is when the teacher is working with all the students and, usually, orchestrating the discussion. Activities include learning a new concept, reviewing a previously learned concept or procedure, solving a problem together, or sharing solution methods for problems that have been solved. Seatwork is the time when students work individually or in small groups on assigned tasks. Talk is mostly private\u2014teacher-student or student-student.\n\nTeachers in all three countries spent more time in classwork than in seatwork. In Japan and the United States 60 percent of the time was spent in classwork; in Germany, it was 70 percent. Although the overall percentage of time spent in classwork was similar, shifts within the lesson from classwork to seatwork and vice versa were considerably more frequent in Japan than in the other two countries. As a consequence, the duration of segments defined by classroom organization tended to be shorter in Japan than in the other countries.\n\nThe full meaning of lesson organization becomes clear when we examine what happens during classwork and seatwork. Who does the work, and what kind of work is being done?\n\nWho Does the Work?\n\nMany educators agree that learning opportunities are enhanced when students do most of the mathematics work during the lesson. But just looking at whether things are being done during classwork or seatwork does not tell us enough. The teacher often is doing the work during classwork but might orchestrate the discussion so that students are required to do more of the work; students often are doing the work during seatwork but might be assigned tasks for which the teacher already has done the mental work. To measure more accurately who is doing the mathematical work, the Math Group looked at who controlled the solution method to a problem, the teacher or the students.\n\nFor example, Mr. Jones showed students the formula for finding the sum of the interior angles of a polygon: sum = 180\u00b0 \u00d7 (number of sides \u2212 2). He then asked students to calculate the sums of various polygons. Students were to execute the formula; Mr. Jones controlled the method. The same problem could have been presented in a much different way. The teacher might have asked students to measure the sums of interior angles of various polygons using a protractor, and then try to find some patterns that would help them compute the sums more quickly. Students could have been given responsibility to work out various solution methods\u2014including, perhaps, a general formula. Then students would have controlled the solution method.\n\nThe Math Group found that the tasks were predominantly student-controlled in 9 percent of the American lessons, 19 percent of the German lessons, and 40 percent of the Japanese lessons. Our impression is confirmed\u2014students in the Japanese lessons did more of the mathematical work than students in the other countries.\n\nWhat Kind of Work Is Expected?\n\nOne way to measure the kind of work students do is to apply the idea of student-controlled tasks and to look at whether students are asked to develop multiple solution methods for problems. Mathematical problems can have one right answer, but usually there are many ways to find the answer. For example, the problem in Mr. Jones's lesson\u2014finding the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon\u2014can be solved by (1) measuring the angles of the particular polygon with a protractor and adding them up, or (2) measuring the angles of several polygons, looking for patterns, and predicting the answer, or (3) using the results of (2) to invent a formula. The fact that there are usually many ways to find an answer is important because it is generally agreed that richer, more conceptual learning opportunities are available if students are encouraged to examine the relative advantages of different methods, and this is a place where students can participate in doing mathematics.\n\nFigure 4.3. (a) Percentage of lessons that included student-presented alternative solution methods; (b) average number of student-presented alternative solution methods presented per lesson.  \nSource: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Third International Mathematics and Science Study, Videotape Classroom Study, 1994-95.\n\nAs was hinted at by the lessons described in Chapter 3, Japanese lessons included significantly more student-presented alternative solution methods than did German or American lessons (see Figure 4.3).\n\nNotice that even in Japan, however, fewer than half the lessons contained student-presented alternative solutions. Does this mean that we have overestimated the kind of creative work Japanese students are asked to do, or does it mean simply that some lessons do not provide class time for students to present their work? One way to check this is to look at the mathematics in which students were engaged during seatwork activity and the kind of thinking it required.\n\nThe thinking required during seatwork fell into three categories: practice routine procedures, apply concepts or procedures in new situations, and invent something new or analyze situations in new ways. The first category is well known and was prevalent in Mr. Jones's class. He demonstrated, for example, how to identify and calculate supplementary angles and then assigned a number of practice exercises. The second category consists of situations in which students are encouraged to use a particular idea to solve a problem but it is not immediately obvious how this might be done. The third category contains tasks in which students must invent something or in which they were asked to think about and analyze a mathematical situation in a new way. In Mr. Yoshida's class, students were asked to invent new problems that could be solved using what they knew about angle measures.\n\nAs is shown in Figure 4.4, Japanese students spent about equal amounts of time practicing routine procedures and inventing something new, whereas German and American students spent almost all their time practicing routine procedures.\n\nSummary\n\nWe have learned that students in Germany and the United States learn mathematics by following the teacher's lead. In Germany, this often takes the form of responding to specific questions from the teacher as the whole class develops a mathematical procedure. In the United States, this often takes the form of following the teacher's directions by practicing a procedure during seatwork.\n\nFigure 4.4. Average percentage of seatwork time spent in three kinds of tasks.  \nSource: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics. Third International Mathematics and Science Study, Videotape Classroom Study. 1994-95.\n\nAlthough Mr. Yoshida's lesson might make it tempting to say that the reverse is true in Japan, the data do not support this. A more accurate picture is that, on average, there is a balance in Japan. The mathematical work is shared by the teacher and the students. Students sometimes, but not always, do creative mathematical work by inventing new methods and presenting them to the class. At other times, teachers control the mathematics\u2014lecturing, demonstrating, asking students to memorize, and so on.\n\nUsing the tools of both subjective impression and objective codes, we have now built a picture of what eighth-grade mathematics teaching looks like in Germany, Japan, and the United States. We began with some simple impressions of teaching in each country and then checked these impressions against national samples. We zeroed in on specific features of teaching\u2014in research parlance, \"indicators\"\u2014that might influence students' learning. Now let us examine what these indicators can tell us about teaching.\n\n## CHAPTER 5\n\n## Teaching Is a System\n\nALTHOUGH VIDEOTAPES are a rich source of information, they provide only glimpses of the full activity of teaching. We have found images of teaching in each country, and we have constructed indicators that measure the features of classroom lessons in each country. These images and indicators provide only partial views of teaching, however. It is as if we are seeing the peaks of mountain ranges poking above the surface of the water. The videotapes provide views of these mountaintop islands, but still hidden, underneath the surface, are the mountain ranges.\n\nWe discovered that mountain ranges lay beneath the surface as we asked ourselves why the indicators revealed certain differences among the countries. Consider the following simple indicator. Many mathematics teachers in the United States use an overhead projector, whereas almost all teachers in Japan prefer the chalkboard. Some would say this is a trivial difference and not worth worrying about. But when we look more closely at this superficial difference we see that it points to a deeper, more significant difference in the way teaching is conducted.\n\nWhen we look again at teachers using overhead projectors and chalkboards, we begin to see that teachers in the two countries do not just use different visual devices, they use them in different ways. Most teachers in the United States use visual devices to focus students' attention. They use both overhead projectors and chalkboards to display information in written or graphic form while they are describing it orally. As they finish each part of their oral presentation, they often erase that part of the written material and move to the next item. Whether they use overhead projectors or chalkboards, they use these visual aids to keep students' attention directed toward the information of the moment. This observation is not a new revelation. Many preservice teacher-training programs offer advice on using overhead projectors in just this way. Readers who have participated in such teacher training might remember being told to cover up all the items on the transparency except the one being presented, then to move the cover down to the next item, and so on. When finished presenting the last item, the teacher is told to turn off the projector so as to reclaim students' attention.\n\nJapanese teachers use visual aids for a very different purpose: to provide a record of the problems and solution methods and principles that are discussed during the lesson. The first item of information in the lesson is placed at the far left of the chalkboard; the next item, whether presented by a student or the teacher, is written next to it; and so on. The record builds, left to right, as the lesson proceeds. Many Japanese teachers finish the lesson with a full chalkboard, showing a complete record of the lesson.\n\nThe fact that U.S. teachers frequently use overhead projectors and Japanese teachers use only chalkboards indicates much more than a whimsical preference in visual aids. Given how these aids are employed in each culture, we can now see that Japanese teachers would not use overhead projectors, whereas U.S. teachers would use either one but probably would find overhead projectors more effective. Visual aids function very differently in these two different systems of teaching.\n\nAnd here is the significant truth about teaching that this simple-seeming indicator reveals: teaching is a system. It is not a loose mixture of individual features thrown together by the teacher. It works more like a machine, with the parts operating together and reinforcing one another, driving the vehicle forward. In the U.S. machine, or system, there is a slot for a visual aid that helps focus students' attention. The overhead projector serves this purpose as well as, or better than, the chalkboard, so it is easy to see why many teachers have shifted to the overhead. In the Japanese system, there is no such slot. Instead, there is a slot for presenting a cumulative record of the day's lesson. The overhead projector does not function in this way, so Japanese teachers do not use it; they continue to use the chalkboard.\n\nIf teaching is a system, then each feature, by itself, doesn't say much about the kind of teaching that is going on. What is important is how the features fit together to form a whole. How does one feature connect with the next one? How does an activity near the end of the lesson link back with one at the beginning? This is a very different way to think about teaching. It means that individual features make sense only in terms of how they relate with others that surround them. It means that most individual features, by themselves, are not good or bad. Their value depends on how they connect with others and fit into the lesson.\n\nOne lesson we described briefly in Chapter 3 began with pure memorization. The teacher asked students to recite three properties they had learned already about parallelograms, such as \"opposite sides are parallel and of equal length.\" Individual students stood and recited them and were corrected by the teacher. The class recited them together. Students rehearsed them silently and then again recited them aloud. This continued for fifteen minutes. We wondered why the teacher was drilling the students so intensely. Some might see this as poor teaching\u2014or at least as unnecessary.\n\nThen the teacher told the students that they would be working on a problem for which they might find the properties useful. He presented a theorem about parallelograms and asked the students to prove it. As it turned out, the three properties they just had memorized were the key pieces they needed in order to work out a proof. Most students were reasonably successful. Now the memorization feature of the lesson took on new meaning for us. It fit well with the surrounding features and with the goal of the lesson.\n\n## Patterns of Teaching  \nin Three Countries\n\nReturning to our metaphor, we now became interested in discovering the nature of the mountain ranges that lay beneath the surface. How could we describe the systems of teaching in each country? We stepped back and watched the tapes again, looking for how the different pieces of the lesson fit together. The fact that we were watching lessons from different countries was invaluable.\n\nOur perceptions of classroom lessons changed, depending on the context in which we viewed them. When we watched only U.S. lessons, we tended to notice the differences among them. Some teachers demonstrated a procedure by working through several examples in a lecture form, others by asking students to fill in steps, and still others by passing out reference sheets and talking through the worked examples with the students. Some teachers presented rather long demonstrations and then gave students the rest of the time to work on the assignment, whereas others gave a brief demonstration, asked students to work on a few similar problems, checked their progress, gave another demonstration, assigned a few more problems, and so on. Some teachers asked students to work on the assigned problems in small groups; others asked students to work individually. Differences in how the demonstration was handled and how teachers structured seatwork were aspects of the lessons that stood out.\n\nWhen we watched a lesson from another country, we suddenly saw something different. Now we were struck by the similarity among the U.S. lessons and by how different they were from the other country's lesson. When we watched a Japanese lesson, for example, we noticed that the teacher presents a problem to the students without first demonstrating how to solve the problem. We realized that U.S. teachers almost never do this, and now we saw that a feature we hardly noticed before is perhaps one of the most important features of U.S. lessons\u2014that the teacher almost always demonstrates a procedure for solving problems before assigning them to students. This is the value of cross-cultural comparisons. They allow us to detect the underlying commonalities that define particular systems of teaching, commonalities that otherwise hide in the background.\n\nThrough this process, we began to see something that surprised us: The systems of teaching within each country look similar from lesson to lesson. At least, there are certain recurring features that typify many of the lessons within a country and distinguish the lessons among countries. These recurring features, or patterns, define different parts of a lesson and the way the parts are sequenced. They serve as a kind of shorthand for the common teaching approach in each country and metaphorically, begin to describe the nature of the mountain ranges underneath the visible islands.\n\nThe German Pattern\n\nGerman lessons usually unfold through a sequence of four activities.\n\n  * Reviewing previous material. This can take several forms, including reviewing homework or reminding students what they have accomplished up to this point.\n  * Presenting the topic and the problems for the day. In Mr. Eisner's lesson, the topic was the measure of angles, and the problem was to prove that all angles inscribed in a semicircle measured 90 degrees.\n  * Developing the procedures to solve the problem. Mr. Eisner directed the development (in this case, of a proof) from the chalkboard. In some lessons, students are asked to work at the chalkboard, taking suggestions from other students and the teacher. When students work at the chalkboard, the teacher retains control of the development, even when positioned at the back of the room.\n  * Practicing. Usually, this is handled through the assignment of seatwork, which can become homework if not finished. The problems often are similar to those that have been worked during the classwork portion of the lesson.\n\nMany lessons move through each activity only once, in sequence, but some lessons cycle through the second and third activities twice or even three times.\n\nThe Japanese Pattern\n\nJapanese lessons often follow a sequence of five activities.\n\n  * Reviewing the previous lesson. The review is conducted by a brief teacher lecture, or by the teacher's leading a discussion, or by the students' reciting the main points. Frequently, the day's lesson builds directly on the previous day's lesson, perhaps by using the methods that were developed on the previous day to solve the current day's problem. In the lesson from Chapter 3, Mr. Yoshida asked students to present again, in more detail, the previous day's methods with the expectation that the students would put these methods to use in the current day's lesson.\n  * Presenting the problem for the day. Usually, there is one key problem that sets the stage for most of the work during the lesson.\n  * Students working individually or in groups. This almost always follows the presentation of the problem and lasts anywhere from one to twenty minutes, often five to ten minutes. Students rarely work in small groups to solve problems until they have worked first by themselves.\n  * Discussing solution methods. After the students have worked on the problem, one or more solution methods are presented and discussed. Often, the teacher asks one or more students to share what they have found. Teachers often select students to share (rather than taking volunteers) based on the methods they have seen students develop as they circulated around the room. Sometimes, teachers themselves present methods they have seen students using or new methods they want students to learn. When students present methods, the teacher often summarizes and elaborates.\n  * Highlighting and summarizing the major points. Usually at the end of the lesson, and sometimes during the lesson, the teacher presents a brief lecture on the main point(s) of the lesson. Mr. Yoshida summarized the main point after the opening ten-minute review and again very briefly at the end of the lesson.\n\nActivities two through five can be cycled through several times in one lesson, but usually not more than twice. When a second problem is presented, it often is much like the first, and students are expected to practice the method(s) presented for solving the first problem.\n\nThe U.S. Pattern\n\nThe pattern of eighth-grade mathematics instruction in the United States shares some elements with the German pattern, but it devotes more time to practicing definitions and procedures and less time to developing the technical details and rationale of procedures. Four activities characterize U.S. lessons.\n\n  * Reviewing previous material. The lesson begins by checking homework or engaging in a warm-up activity. Mr. Jones conducted a warm-up activity and then checked homework, an opening that is quite common.\n  * Demonstrating how to solve problems for the day. After homework is checked, the teacher introduces new material, or reviews previous material, by presenting a few sample problems and demonstrating how to solve them. Often the teacher engages the students in a step-by-step demonstration by asking short-answer questions along the way.\n  * Practicing. Seatwork is assigned, and students are asked to complete problems similar to those for which the solution method was demonstrated. Seatwork usually is done individually, although sometimes students work in small groups to compare answers and help one another.\n  * Correcting seatwork and assigning homework. Near the end of the lesson, some of the seatwork problems are checked and, occasionally, some additional problems are worked out together. Homework, with more practice problems, is then assigned. Usually, some time is allowed during the lesson for students to begin the homework.\n\nVersions of activities two through four can be cycled through several times. In Mr. Jones's class, there were several demonstrations of definitions and procedures sandwiched around seatwork and checking homework and seatwork.\n\n## Comparing the  \nLesson Patterns\n\nThe three patterns share some basic features: the class reviewing previous material, the teacher presenting problems for the day, and students solving problems at their desks. Apparently, there is some international agreement about the importance of these activities. On closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that these activities play different roles. For example, presenting a problem in Germany sets the stage for a rather long development of a solution procedure, a whole-class activity, guided by the teacher. In Japan, presenting a problem sets the stage for students to work, individually or in groups, on developing solution procedures. In the United States, presenting a problem is the context for demonstrating a procedure and sets the stage for students practicing the procedure. The fact that similar lesson activities can function differently is not surprising, because the activities are embedded in different systems.\n\nThere also are differences in the core activities of lessons. For example, at the heart of the German pattern is an activity in which the teacher leads the students through the development of a mathematical procedure. This is not found in either the American or the Japanese pattern. As another example, the Japanese pattern includes an activity in which the teacher summarizes the major point of the lesson. This can be done quite quickly and with little fanfare, but it seems to be a stable part of the lesson design. Taken together, the differences in kinds of activities and in the roles that similar activities can play within the different systems generate large differences across systems of teaching in different cultures.\n\n## The Origins of  \nLesson Patterns\n\nMany people are not surprised to learn that Japanese lessons can be described by a simple, common pattern. After all, Japan is a country with a relatively homogeneous population and a highly centralized education system. Japanese teachers might be expected to teach in similar ways. But the United States seems to be a different case. How is it possible, in a country as diverse and decentralized as our own, to find a national pattern that can characterize teaching? Could a single method of teaching really have developed in this country? This possibility is not as far-fetched as it sounds, especially to those who study education. In fact, the American pattern we have described is consistent with a general method of teaching that has been prevalent in the United States for some time, not only in mathematics and not only in the eighth grade.\n\nThe most compelling question is: \"Where do these patterns come from, and what accounts for their apparent stability over time?\" Of course, patterns that we observe in the classroom come from teachers' heads; it is teachers, after all, who plan and implement the lessons we observe. Indeed, the national patterns of teaching that we have observed must arise out of a knowledge base that is widely shared by teachers within each culture. But where does this shared knowledge come from? One possibility is that it is imparted to teachers in teacher-training programs. Another possibility is that the knowledge is cultural, passed on from generation to generation through human interactions. We contend, as do other educational researchers, that although teachers learn some things about teaching from their formal training, mostly they learn from simple cultural participation. After all, teachers spend at least thirteen years in classrooms, as students, before they even enter a teacher-preparation program. We will explore this idea further in the next chapter.\n\n## CHAPTER 6\n\n## Teaching Is  \na Cultural Activity\n\nFOR MANY PEOPLE, family dinners are everyday events. They participate in these events without realizing all the aspects that are taken for granted. Everyone comes to the table and begins eating at about the same time. Menus are not distributed. Instead, the food is brought to the table in serving dishes and everyone eats the same things. The food is then parceled out by passing the serving dishes around the table, with everyone dishing up his or her own portion. Adults often help children with this task. Conversation usually is open, with no set agenda. Comments from everyone are welcome, with children and adults participating as conversational partners.\n\nFamily dinner is a cultural activity. Cultural activities are represented in cultural scripts, generalized knowledge about an event that resides in the heads of participants. These scripts guide behavior and also tell participants what to expect. Within a culture, these scripts are widely shared, and therefore they are hard to see. Family dinner is such a familiar activity that it sounds strange to point out all its customary features. We rarely think about how it might be different from what it is. On the other hand, we certainly would notice if a feature were violated; we'd be surprised, for example, to be offered a menu at a family dinner, or to be presented with a check at the end of the meal.\n\nCultural scripts are learned implicitly, through observation and participation, and not by deliberate study. This differentiates cultural activities from other activities. Take, for example, the activity of learning to use a computer. For older Americans, learning to use the computer is usually not a cultural activity. We learned to use the computer by consciously working on our skills\u2014by reading manuals, taking notes, getting help from experts, and practicing. Using computers is an interesting example because it is rapidly becoming a cultural activity. Children, for example, learn naturally, by hanging around their older siblings. But there still are those for whom it has the distinctly noncultural traits of intentionally, deliberately, and self-consciously working through the activity.\n\nTeaching, in our view, is a cultural activity. It is more like participating in family dinners than like learning to use the computer. This might be surprising, because teaching is rarely thought of in this way. As we noted earlier, some people think that teaching is an innate skill, something you are born with. Others think that teachers learn to teach by enrolling in college teacher-training programs. We believe that neither is the best description. Teaching, like other cultural activities, is learned through informal participation over long periods of time. It is something one learns to do more by growing up in a culture than by studying it formally.\n\nAlthough most people have not studied to be teachers, most people have been students. People within a culture share a mental picture of what teaching is like. We call this mental picture a script. The script is, in fact, a mental version of the teaching patterns we identified in Chapter 5. The difference is that the patterns were observable in the videotapes; scripts are mental models of these patterns. We believe that the scripts provide an explanation for why the lessons within a country followed distinctive patterns: the lessons were designed and taught by teachers who share the same scripts.\n\nIt is not hard to see where the scripts come from or why they are widely shared. A cultural script for teaching begins forming early, sometimes even before children get to school. Playing school is a favorite preschool game. As children move through twelve years and more of school, they form scripts for teaching. All of us probably could enter a classroom tomorrow and act like a teacher, because we all share this cultural script. In fact, one of the reasons classrooms run as smoothly as they do is that students and teachers have the same script in their heads: they know what to expect and what roles to play.\n\n## Implications of Teaching  \nas a Cultural Activity\n\nWe have already made the point that teaching is a complex system, and we have pointed out some implications of this fact. To say that teaching is a cultural activity reveals an additional truth about teaching: Cultural activities, such as teaching, are not invented full-blown but rather evolve over long periods of time in ways that are consistent with the stable web of beliefs and assumptions that are part of the culture. The scripts for teaching in each country appear to rest on a relatively small and tacit set of core beliefs about the nature of the subject, about how students learn, and about the role that a teacher should play in the classroom. These beliefs, often implicit, serve to maintain the stability of cultural systems over time. Just as we have pointed out that features of teaching need to be understood in terms of the underlying systems in which they are embedded, so, too, these systems of teaching, because they are cultural, must be understood in relation to the cultural beliefs and assumptions that surround them.\n\nLet's return to the example of the chalkboard versus the overhead projector. Recall that many teachers in the United States have replaced the chalkboard with the overhead projector, whereas Japanese teachers have not. In Chapter 5 we explained this difference in terms of the different instructional systems in which the visual aids are used. In U.S. classrooms visual aids function to guide and control students' attention. Seen in this light, the overhead projector is preferred because it gives teachers even more control over what students are attending to. Within the Japanese system of teaching, visual aids serve a different function. They are not used to control attention but to provide a cumulative record of the lesson's activities and their results. Japanese teachers do not use the overhead projector because it is not possible to fit the cumulative record on an overhead transparency.\n\nTo dig deeper we must ask why Japanese teachers want a cumulative record of the lesson to be available to students and why U.S. teachers want to control students' attention. To answer these questions we need to situate these two systems of teaching in the context of cultural beliefs about how students learn and about the role the teacher can play in this process.\n\n## Cultural Beliefs About  \nTeaching and Learning:  \nJapan and the United States\n\nAs we pursue deeper comparisons of teaching, we focus on Japan and the United States because this comparison is the most dramatic, and therefore illustrates well the role that beliefs can play in generating and maintaining cultural scripts for teaching.\n\nNature of Mathematics\n\nThe typical U.S. lesson is consistent with the belief that school mathematics is a set of procedures. Although teachers might understand that other things must be added to these procedures to get the complete definition of mathematics, many behave as if mathematics is a subject whose use for students, in the end, is as a set of procedures for solving problems.\n\nIn our study, teachers were asked what \"main thing\" they wanted students to learn from the lesson. Sixty-one percent of U.S. teachers described skills they wanted their students to learn. They wanted the students to be able to perform a procedure, solve a particular kind of problem, and so on.\n\nMany U.S. teachers also seem to believe that learning terms and practicing skills is not very exciting. We have watched them trying to jazz up the lesson and increase students' interest in nonmathematical ways: by being entertaining, by interrupting the lesson to talk about other things (last night's local rock concert, for example), or by setting the mathematics problem in a real-life or intriguing context\u2014for example, measuring the circumference of a basketball. Teachers act as if student interest will be generated only by diversions outside of mathematics.\n\nJapanese lessons appear to be generated by different beliefs about the subject. Teachers act as if mathematics is a set of relationships between concepts, facts, and procedures. These relationships are revealed by developing solution methods to problems, studying the methods, working toward increasingly efficient methods, and talking explicitly about the relationships of interest.\n\nOn the same questionnaire, 73 percent of Japanese teachers said that the main thing they wanted their students to learn from the lesson was to think about things in a new way, such as to see new relationships between mathematical ideas.\n\nJapanese teachers also act as if mathematics is inherently interesting and students will be interested in exploring it by developing new methods for solving problems. They seem less concerned about motivating the topics in nonmathematical ways.\n\nNature of Learning\n\nIf one believes that mathematics is mostly a set of procedures and the goal is to help students become proficient executors of the procedures, as many U.S. teachers seem to, then it would be understandable to believe that mathematics is learned best by mastering the material incrementally, piece by piece. This view of skill learning has a long history in the United States. Learning procedures occurs by practicing them many times, with later exercises being slightly more difficult than earlier ones. Practice should be relatively error-free, with high levels of success at each point. Confusion and frustration, in this traditional American view, should be minimized; they are signs that earlier material was not mastered. The more exercises, the more smoothly learning will proceed.\n\nSuppose students are studying how to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, such as 2\/3 + 4\/7. The U.S. beliefs about learning described above would dictate that students should first master adding fractions with like denominators, such as 1\/5 + 2\/5, then be shown how to add simple fractions with unlike denominators, such as \u00bd + \u00bc, being warned about the common error of adding the denominators (to minimize this error), and later practice more difficult problems, such as 2\/3 + 4\/7.\n\nJapanese teachers appear to hold a different set of beliefs about learning and probably would plan a different kind of lesson for adding fractions. One can infer that Japanese teachers believe students learn best by first struggling to solve mathematics problems, then participating in discussions about how to solve them, and then hearing about the pros and cons of different methods and the relationships between them. Frustration and confusion are taken to be a natural part of the process, because each person must struggle with a situation or problem first in order to make sense of the information he or she hears later. Constructing connections between methods and problems is thought to require time to explore and invent, to make mistakes, to reflect, and to receive the needed information at an appropriate time.\n\nWhat kind of lesson on adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators would these beliefs generate? A teacher's manual in a popular Japanese textbook series gives us a clue. It alerts teachers that the error students are most likely to make is to add the denominators. Students will learn to understand the process more fully, says the manual, if they are allowed to make this mistake and then examine the consequences. Some suggestions are given for how to help students reflect on the inconsistencies they will encounter if they add, for example, \u00bd and \u00bc, and get 2\/6. Teachers are to begin the lesson with a problem like this and then compare the different methods for solution that students develop. Obviously, struggling and making mistakes and then seeing why they are mistakes are believed to be essential parts of the learning process in Japan.\n\nRole of the Teacher\n\nGiven the differences between the United States and Japan in the apparent beliefs about the subject and learning, it is not surprising that marked differences can be inferred regarding beliefs about the role of the teacher. U.S. teachers appear to feel responsible for shaping the task into pieces that are manageable for most students, providing all the information needed to complete the task and assigning plenty of practice. Providing sufficient information means, in many cases, demonstrating how to complete a task just like those assigned for practice. Teachers act as if confusion and frustration are signs that they have not done their job. When they notice confusion, they quickly assist students by providing whatever information it takes to get the students back on track.\n\nWe saw the following sequence of events over and over. Teachers assign students seatwork problems and circulate around the room, tutoring and monitoring students' progress. Several students ask, in quick succession, about the same problem. Teachers interrupt the class and say, for example, \"Number twenty-three may be a little confusing. Remember to put all the x-terms on one side of the equation and all the y-terms on the other, and then solve for y. That should give the answer.\" In Mr. Jones's lesson (presented in Chapter 3), these problems were numbers 37 and 38, and as soon as he sensed that the students had reached them during their seatwork and were struggling, he stepped in to show the solutions. Teachers in the United States try hard to reduce confusion by presenting full information about how to solve problems.\n\nU.S. teachers also take responsibility for keeping students engaged and attending. Given their beliefs about the nature of mathematics and how it is learned, moment-by-moment attention is crucial. If students are watching the teacher demonstrate a procedure, they need to attend to each step. If their attention wanders, they will be lost when they try to execute the procedure on their own. Now we have a deeper explanation for the frequent use of the overhead projector by U.S. teachers. The projector's capability of focusing attention fits well with the teachers' beliefs about teaching mathematics.\n\nIn addition to the use of overhead projectors, U.S. teachers use a variety of other techniques to hold students' attention. They pump up students' interest by increasing the pace of the activities, by praising students for their work and behavior, by the cuteness or real-lifeness of tasks, and by their own power of persuasion through their enthusiasm, humor, and \"coolness.\"\n\nJapanese teachers apparently believe they are responsible for different aspects of classroom activity. They often choose a challenging problem to begin the lesson, and they help students understand and represent the problem so they can begin working on a solution. While students are working, the teachers monitor their solution methods so they can organize the follow-up discussion when students share solutions. They also encourage students to keep struggling in the face of difficulty, sometimes offering hints to support students' progress. Rarely would teachers show students how to solve the problem midway through the lesson.\n\nJapanese teachers lead class discussions, asking questions about the solution methods presented, pointing out important features of students' methods, and presenting methods themselves. Because they seem to believe that learning mathematics means constructing relationships between facts, procedures, and ideas, they try to create a visual record of these different methods as the lesson proceeds. Apparently, it is not as important for students to attend at each moment of the lesson as it is for them to be able to go back and think again about earlier events, and to see connections between the different parts of the lesson. Now we understand why Japanese teachers prefer the chalkboard to the overhead projector. Indeed, now we see, in a deeper way, why they cannot use the projector.\n\nIndividual Differences\n\nAs a consequence of their implicit beliefs about the subject, learning, and the teacher s role, all teachers appear to hold a set of beliefs about individual differences among students. Many U.S. teachers believe that individual differences are an obstacle to effective teaching. Meeting each student's needs means, ideally, diagnosing each student's level of performance and providing different instruction for different levels. This is not easy to do in a large class. As the range of differences increases, the difficulties of teaching increase. In simple terms, this is an obvious reason for tracking students into separate classes by ability or past performance. It is also the reason for reform efforts directed toward reducing class size. This belief says that the tutoring situation is best, academically, because instruction can be tailored specifically for each student or small group of students.\n\nJapanese teachers view individual differences as a natural characteristic of a group. They view differences in the mathematics class as a resource for both students and teachers. Individual differences are beneficial for the class because they produce a range of ideas and solution methods that provide the material for students' discussion and reflection. The variety of alternative methods allows students to compare them and construct connections among them. It is believed that all students benefit from the variety of ideas generated by their peers. In addition, tailoring instruction to specific students is seen as unfairly limiting and as prejudging what students are capable of learning; all students should have the opportunity to learn the same material.\n\nFor the Japanese teacher, the differences within a group are beneficial because they allow a teacher to plan a lesson more completely. Japanese teachers plan lessons by using the information that they and other teachers have previously recorded about students' likely responses to particular problems and questions. If the group is sufficiently large, they can be quite sure that these same responses will be given by these students. They can then plan the nature of the discussion that is likely to occur. The range of responses also provides the vehicle teachers use to meet the needs of different students. It is expected that different students will understand different methods and will think about the material at different levels of sophistication. Not all students will be prepared to learn the same things from each lesson, and the different methods that are shared allow each student to learn some things.\n\nSanctity of the Lesson\n\nAnother set of beliefs pertains to the significance of the classroom lesson. Lessons, of course, are the most common form of teaching. Classroom teaching, as it is known around the world, plays out through daily lessons. Students' lives in most schools are organized around the series of 45- to 60-minute periods that they move through in the course of a day. But different beliefs about teaching lead to treating lessons in quite different ways.\n\nIn Japan, classroom lessons hold a privileged place in the activities of the school. It would be exaggerating only a little to say they are sacred. They are treated much as we treat lectures in university courses or religious services in church. A great deal of attention is given to their development. They are planned as complete experiences\u2014as stories with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Their meaning is found in the connections between the parts. If you stay for only the beginning, or leave before the end, you miss the point. If lessons like this are going to succeed, they must be coherent. The pieces must relate to one another in clear ways. And they must flow along, free from interruptions and unrelated activities. It is clear why Japanese lessons we videotaped were never interrupted from the outside, not by P.A. announcements, not by lunch-count monitors, not by anyone.\n\nIt is quite easy to see how Japanese beliefs about mathematics, learning, and the role of the teacher lead to treating lessons in this way. In this belief system, mathematics is made up of relationships between ideas, facts, and procedures. To understand these relationships, students must analyze mathematical problems and different methods that can be used to solve them. They must struggle with problems first in order to make sense of later discussions about how to solve them and to understand the summary comments made by the teacher. So the lesson must tell a tightly connected, coherent story; the teacher must build a visible record of the pieces as they unfold so connections can be drawn between them; and the lesson cannot be sidetracked or broken by interruptions.\n\nIn the United States, lessons are treated differently. This is not surprising given the different beliefs about mathematics, learning, and the teacher. The activities within a lesson are more modular, with fewer connections between them. Practice time might be devoted to the procedures demonstrated on the current day, on the previous day, or during the previous week. Because learning procedures is believed to depend largely on practicing them, temporary interruptions, like outside intrusions or unrelated activities, do not ruin the lesson. They might be annoying, but they just reduce the number of practice exercises for that day. It might not be surprising, then, that we found that almost one-third of the U.S. lessons were interrupted in some way.\n\n## Changing Cultural Activities\n\nCultural activities are highly stable over time, and they are not easily changed. This is true for two reasons. First, cultural activities are systems, and systems\u2014especially complex ones, such as teaching\u2014can be very difficult to change. The second reason is that cultural activities are embedded in a wider culture, often in ways not readily apparent to members of the culture. If we want to improve teaching, both its systemic and its cultural aspects must be recognized and addressed.\n\nTeaching systems, like other complex systems, are composed of elements that interact and reinforce one another; the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. An immediate implication of this fact is that it will be difficult, if not impossible, to improve teaching by changing individual elements or features. In a system, all the features reinforce each other. If one feature is changed, the system will rush to \"repair the damage,\" perhaps by modifying the new feature so it functions the way the old one did. If all teachers in the United States started using the chalkboard rather than the overhead projector, teaching would not change much. The chalkboard simply would be used to fill the visual-aids slot in their system and therefore would be used just as the overhead projector was\u2014to catch and hold students' attention.\n\nThis point is missed in many popular attempts to reform teaching in the United States. These reforms start with indicators, like the ones we presented in Chapter 4, and try to improve teaching by influencing the level of the indicator. For example, having found that Japanese and German students encounter more advanced mathematics, reformers might propose that we present more challenging content in our schools. Or because Japanese teachers switch back and forth between classwork and seatwork more often than American teachers do, they might propose lessons with shorter classwork and seatwork segments. German and Japanese students do proofs, so perhaps we should include proofs in our lessons. Educational reforms in this country often have been driven by an effort to change our performance on quantifiable indicators like these.\n\nBut because teaching is a complex system, these attempts to change it generally don't work. It has now been documented in several studies that teachers asked to change features of their teaching often modify the features to fit within their pre-existing system instead of changing the system itself. The system assimilates individual changes and swallows them up. Thus, although surface features appear to change, the fundamental nature of the instruction does not. When this happens, anticipated improvements in student learning fail to materialize and everyone wonders why.\n\nA well-known example comes from the New Math reforms of the 1960s. A major thrust of these reforms was changing the textbooks. Because most mathematics teachers rely quite heavily on the textbook, one might think that changing the textbook would change teaching. In 1975, after the changes had had time to take effect, the National Advisory Committee on Mathematical Education commissioned a study of school mathematics instruction. The study concluded that in elementary schools, \"Teachers are essentially teaching the same way they were taught in school. Almost none of the concepts, methods, or big ideas of modern mathematics have appeared.\" Even textbooks can get swamped by the system.\n\nA more recent and personal illustration of the stability of systems of teaching occurred when one of us was working with a group of American teachers studying videotapes of Japanese mathematics instruction. After viewing the Japanese lessons, a fourth-grade teacher decided to shift from his traditional approach to a more problem-solving approach such as we had seen on the videotapes. Instead of asking short-answer questions as he regularly did, he began his next lesson by presenting a problem and asking students to spend ten minutes working on a solution. Although the teacher changed his behavior to correspond with the actions of the teacher in the videotape, the students, not having seen the video or reflected upon their own participation, failed to respond as the students on the tape did. They played their traditional roles. They waited to be shown how to solve the problem. The lesson did not succeed. The students are part of the system.\n\nSystems of teaching are much more than the things the teacher does. They include the physical setting of the classroom; the goals of the teacher; the materials, including textbooks and district or state objectives; the roles played by the students; the way the school day is scheduled; and other factors that influence how teachers teach. Changing any one of these individual features is unlikely to have the intended effect.\n\nTrying to improve teaching by changing individual features usually makes little difference, positive or negative. But it can backfire and leave things worse than before. When one or two features are changed, and the system tries to run as before, it can operate in a disabled state. Geoffrey Saxe and his colleagues at UCLA found that when elementary school teachers were asked to teach fractions by implementing an innovative curriculum, some did so with higher student achievement than a comparison traditional program and some did so with lower student achievement. The difference was that the successful teachers were provided with information and assistance by the project staff that, in our words, helped them improve their system. The less-successful teachers did not receive such assistance and tried to operate their conventional system with the new curriculum. This was not a good fit and did not promote students' learning. The point here is that trying to improve by changing individual features is not just ineffective; it is downright risky.\n\nBombarding teachers with waves of ineffective reforms can have another downside: Teachers can grow weary. They are asked over and over to change the way they do x, y, or z. Even when they try to accommodate the reformers and adopt a new feature or two, nothing much happens. They do not notice much improvement in students' learning. Although it might feel to teachers that they are changing, the basic system is running essentially as it did before. Always changing, and yet staying the same, is a discouraging state of affairs. It can lead to a defeatist kind of cynicism. \"Not another reform,\" says the veteran teacher; \"I'll just wait this one out.\" Quick fixes that focus on changing individual features leave behind a skeptical teaching corps.\n\nThe fact that teaching is cultural only further complicates and impedes efforts to change it. The widely shared cultural beliefs and expectations that underlie teaching are so fully integrated into teachers' worldviews that they fail to see them as mutable. The more widely shared a belief is, the less likely it is to be questioned\u2014or even noticed. This tends to naturalize the most common aspects of teaching to the point that teachers fail to see alternatives to what they are doing in the classroom, thinking, \"This is just the way things are.\" Even if someone wanted to change, things that seem this natural are perceived as unchangeable. It is no wonder that the way we teach has not changed much for many years.\n\nIs it impossible to change? We don't think so. But we must be sure that our efforts to improve are appropriate for changing cultural activities. If teaching were a noncultural activity, we could try to improve it simply by providing better information in teachers' manuals, or asking experts to demonstrate better techniques, or distributing written recommendations on more effective teaching methods. Note that this is exactly what we have been doing. We have been acting as if teaching is a noncultural activity.\n\nIf we took seriously the notion that teaching is a cultural activity, we would begin the improvement process by becoming more aware of the cultural scripts teachers are using. This requires comparing scripts, seeing that other scripts are possible, and noticing things about our own scripts that we had never seen before. Becoming more aware of the scripts we use helps us see that they come from choices we make. The choices might be understandable, but still they are choices, and once we are aware of them, other choices can be made.\n\nImproving cultural scripts for teaching is a dramatically different approach from improving the skills of individual teachers, but it is the approach called for if teaching is a cultural activity. No matter how good teachers are, they will be only as effective as the script they are using. To improve teaching over the long run, we must improve the script.\n\nOf course, knowing what must be done and actually doing it are two very different things, especially when it comes to complex, culturally embedded activities. Once again, we can learn something important by contrasting our own situation with that of others. In the next chapter, we look at how Japan has dealt with the challenge of improving teaching.\n\n## CHAPTER 7\n\n## Beyond Reform:  \nJapan's Approach  \nto the Improvement  \nof Classroom Teaching\n\nWE HAVE LEARNED that teaching is not a simple skill but rather a complex cultural activity that is highly determined by beliefs and habits that work partly outside the realm of consciousness. That teaching is largely a cultural activity helps to explain why, in the face of constant reform, so little has actually changed inside U.S. classrooms. The cultural nature of teaching might also help to explain why teaching per se has rarely been the direct focus of efforts to reform education. Teaching is so constant within our own culture that we fail even to imagine how it might be changed, much less believe that it should be changed.\n\nOn the other hand, our cross-cultural investigations have also revealed a different, yet equally important, fact about teaching: Although highly constant within a culture, variations in teaching methods across cultures are significant. This means that teaching might be an even more important influence on student learning than some studies have suggested. When studies are conducted within cultures, they might underestimate the effects of teaching because they probably are comparing methods that do not differ greatly from one another. The substantive differences in teaching that we see across cultures suggests that very different ways of teaching can be designed and implemented, and that these substantive changes might have large effects on students' learning. This bolsters our belief that efforts to directly improve classroom processes can lead to significant gains in students' learning.\n\nIn this chapter we briefly discuss the way reformers have sought to improve teaching in the United States, and we use the TIMSS videos to assess how successful these efforts have been. Then we briefly examine Japan's very different approach to the improvement of classroom teaching. Japan's record of high student achievement, together with its contrasting methods of teaching, entreats us to examine how Japan goes about improving its practice.\n\n## Reform in the United States:  \nEvidence from the Classroom\n\nAlthough most popular U.S. reform efforts have avoided a direct focus on teaching, there are some notable exceptions. One of these has been in the domain of mathematics, where the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has made a strong effort to improve classroom mathematics teaching. The NCTM believes that teaching is of major importance in trying to explain students' learning of mathematics and has led a far-reaching campaign to move teachers in the direction of more effective practices.\n\nThe strategy employed by NCTM in this crusade exemplifies a common approach to reform in the United States. Experts are convened to review the research and experience of the profession and to formulate recommendations for change. These recommendations then are put in written documents that are widely disseminated. One of these documents, the NCTM's Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics, is quite explicit in its vision of how teaching needs to change in order to raise the level of students' learning. The changes envisioned by NCTM are substantial.\n\nInvestigating the success of these NCTM efforts, and of similar efforts, was a major goal of the TIMSS video study. The findings are quite interesting. First of all, the good news: U.S. teachers appear to be highly aware of reforms advocated by NCTM and other organizations. We asked all of the videotaped teachers, on a questionnaire, to rate their awareness of current ideas regarding the best ways to teach mathematics. Almost all (95 percent) of the U.S. teachers sampled said they were \"somewhat aware\" or \"very aware\" of such ideas, with most claiming to have read documents published by NCTM or similar documents (such as California's Mathematics Framework). Not only are teachers aware of the reforms, the majority claimed to be implementing the reforms in their classrooms. When asked whether or not they implement reforms in their classrooms, and whether or not we would find evidence of such in the videotape we collected from their rooms, 70 percent of U.S. teachers we asked responded in the affirmative. The teachers even pointed us to specific places in the videos where we could see examples of their implementation of reform.\n\nBut this is where the good news ends. When we looked at the videos, we found little evidence of reform, at least as intended by those who had proposed the reforms. Looking at the situation as a whole, one might even argue that Japanese lessons better exemplify current U.S. reform ideas than do U.S. lessons. Japanese lessons, for example, emphasized student thinking and problem solving, multiple solution methods, and the kinds of discourse described in U.S. reform documents to a greater extent than U.S. lessons did. And this is not the worst of it. When we examined the places in the video that teachers referred to as examples of reform, we saw a disturbing confirmation of the suspicion we voiced in Chapter 6\u2014that reform teaching, as interpreted by some teachers, might actually be worse than what they were doing previously in their classrooms.\n\nOne teacher, for example, pointed to her use of calculators as an instance of reform in her classroom. True, NCTM recommends that calculators be introduced early in the curriculum, because, among other reasons, they can save computing time so students can focus their attention on problem solving and conceptual understanding. But this was not the way calculators were being used in this particular teacher's classroom. Midway through the solution of a simple problem, the class needed the answer to the problem 1 \u2212 4. \"Take out your calculators,\" the teacher said. \"Now, follow along with me. Push the one. Push the minus sign. Push the four. Now push the equals sign. What do you get?\" The calculator, in this case, was a diversion, and accomplished little on behalf of students' mathematical understanding.\n\nExamples like this one point to a problem in the U.S. approach to reform. Teachers can misinterpret reform and change surface features\u2014for example, they include more group work; use more manipulatives, calculators, and real-world problem scenarios; or include writing in the lesson\u2014but fail to alter their basic approach to teaching mathematics.\n\nAlbert Shanker, the late leader of the American Federation of Teachers, clearly anticipated this possibility. He often told a story of a trip he had made years earlier with his wife, Eadie. They were touring a housing project, a section that housed recently arrived Jews from African and Arabic countries. Shanker told the story this way:\n\nAs we were touring this housing project, we were told that most of these people had lived in tents or in very primitive housing and that most of them had not eaten on tables. There was this concerted effort to convince them to use tables. As we went through the development, our guides said, \"Let's visit one of these families; let's take a look at an apartment.\" And they knocked at a door and said, \"We have Mr. and Mrs. Shanker here from New York; can they come in?\" We walked in, and there was a family from Yemen, and they were eating from the table. But the table was upside down with the top on the floor and the legs standing up.\n\nShanker understood that teaching, like eating, is a cultural activity and that it is governed by powerful forces that function largely outside of conscious awareness, forces that change slowly over time\u2014if they change at all. Like the Yemeni immigrants, teachers can misinterpret the intentions of reformers, engaging in practices that verge on the bizarre. As we noted earlier, reform documents that focus teachers' attention on features of \"good teaching\" in the absence of supporting contexts might actually divert attention away from the more important goals of student learning. They may inadvertently cause teachers to substitute the means for the ends\u2014to define success in terms of specific features or activities instead of long-term improvements in learning. To the extent that this occurs, the best-laid plans of reformers will backfire. Far from being benign or simply ignored, reform recommendations might even worsen the quality of instruction. We are not the only researchers to document this phenomenon. But the TIMSS videotapes reveal that the problem is national in scope.\n\nAt first glance, this misapplication of reform seems quite discouraging: Given the energy that we as a nation have invested in reform, it is shocking to realize how little penetration there has been into the classroom. But on the other hand, given the cultural, systemic nature of teaching described earlier in this book, it would be surprising if reform were successful\u2014at least the type of reform that has been most widely practiced in the United States. Features of teaching recommended in documents such as the NCTM standards are easily misinterpreted, lacking reference to either the system of teaching in which they are embedded or the wider cultural beliefs that support them. This helps to explain how teachers could be aware of the NCTM's reform recommendations, and even think they were implementing them in the videotaped lesson, when, in fact, they often were aligning their teaching with the recommendations in only superficial ways.\n\nDisseminating models of effective teaching through static documents might work if teaching were a noncultural activity. If teachers learned to teach by studying books and memorizing techniques, written recommendations might have their intended effect. But everything we have learned indicates that teaching is a cultural activity, and consequently the writing and dissemination of reform documents is an unrealistic way to improve education.\n\nWhat are the alternatives? We were drawn initially to Japan's system of improvement as one possibility, because of Japanese students' high levels of achievement and because Japanese teaching methods provide such a clear contrast to our own. But we found another reason to examine Japan's system of improvement more closely: It is built on the idea that teaching is a complex, cultural activity. Just as we saw the U.S. method of teaching in a new way by comparing it with methods in other countries, so too can we use other systems of improvement to envision the possibilities in our own country more clearly.\n\n## Lesson Study: Japan's  \nAlternative to Reform\n\nDespite years of reform, research suggests that classroom teaching has changed little in the United States. In Japan, by contrast, teaching practices appear to have changed markedly over the past fifty years. What accounts for this difference? Japan, too, has sought to reform its educational practices. But the assumptions about how reform must work, and the mechanisms established to enact reform, are quite distinct from those in the United States. Whereas U.S. educators have sought major changes over relatively short time periods\u2014indeed, the very word reform connotes sudden and wholesale change\u2014Japanese educators have instituted a system that leads to gradual, incremental improvements in teaching over time. The system includes clear learning goals for students, a shared curriculum, the support of administrators, and the hard work of teachers striving to make gradual improvements in their practice.\n\nJapan has given teachers themselves primary responsibility for the improvement of classroom practice. Kounaikenshuu is the word used to describe the continuous process of school-based professional development that Japanese teachers engage in once they begin their teaching careers. In the United States, teachers are assumed to be competent once they have completed their teacher-training programs. Japan makes no such assumption. Participation in school-based professional development groups is considered part of the teacher's job in Japan. These groups play a dual role: not only do they provide a context in which teachers are mentored and trained, they also provide a laboratory for the development and testing of new teaching techniques.\n\nVirtually every elementary and middle school in Japan is engaged in kounaikenshuu. Run by teachers, kounaikenshuu consists of a diverse set of activities that together constitute a comprehensive process of school improvement. Teachers work together in grade-level groups, in subject-matter groups (for example, math or language arts), and in special committees (the technology committee, for example). The activities of these various groups are coordinated by a school-improvement plan that sets the goals and focus for each year's efforts. A significant percentage of teachers also engage in district-wide groups that meet in the evenings, generally on a monthly basis. Teachers spend a considerable amount of time each month on kounaikenshuu.\n\nLesson Study\n\nOne of the most common components of kounaikenshuu is lesson study (jugyou kenkyuu). In lesson study, groups of teachers meet regularly over long periods of time (ranging from several months to a year) to work on the design, implementation, testing, and improvement of one or several \"research lessons\" (kenkyuu jugyou). By all indications, lesson study is extremely popular and highly valued by Japanese teachers, especially at the elementary school level. It is the linchpin of the improvement process. One elementary school teacher interviewed by Catherine Lewis and Ineko Tsuchida, scholars of Japanese education, remarked, \"You won't find a school without research lessons.\"\n\nThe premise behind lesson study is simple: If you want to improve teaching, the most effective place to do so is in the context of a classroom lesson. If you start with lessons, the problem of how to apply research findings in the classroom disappears. The improvements are devised within the classroom in the first place. The challenge now becomes that of identifying the kinds of changes that will improve student learning in the classroom and, once the changes are identified, of sharing this knowledge with other teachers who face similar problems, or share similar goals, in the classroom.\n\nVery little has been written in English about the process of lesson study. We base our account on research conducted by Makoto Yoshida, by Catherine Lewis and Ineko Tsuchida, and by N. Ken Shimahara, as well as on informal discussions with teachers and teacher educators throughout Japan. Most of our specific examples will be drawn from the work of Yoshida.\n\nIn Tsuta Elementary School, the Hiroshima school studied by Yoshida, the lesson-study process was divided into trimesters. During the first trimester, teachers met first in several schoolwide meetings to determine the theme or focus of the year's kounaikenshuu efforts. Once a general theme was chosen, teachers continued meeting in grade-level groups to begin developing the goal that would guide their lesson study for the year. Because Tsuta Elementary School was a small school, the teachers divided into three groups: one each for lower, middle, and upper grades. Larger schools might divide into separate groups for each grade level, with a goal of keeping the sizes of the groups at approximately five to seven teachers.\n\nIn the second trimester, the teacher groups started developing \"research lessons.\" The group that Yoshida studied focused on first-graders' understanding of subtraction with borrowing. They met weekly, on Thursday afternoons, for approximately three to four hours. The principal and the head teacher of the school generally sat in with the group in an ex officio capacity.\n\nSteps in the Lesson Study Process\n\nAlthough the form of lesson study varies throughout Japan, we can describe the steps that seem to typify the process.\n\nStep 1: Defining the Problem. Lesson study is, fundamentally, a problem-solving process. The first step, therefore, is to define the problem that will motivate and direct the work of the lesson-study group. The problem can start out as a general one (for example, to awaken students' interest in mathematics) or it can be more specific (for example, to improve students' understanding of how to add fractions with unlike denominators). The group will then shape and focus the problem until it can be addressed by a specific classroom lesson.\n\nUsually the problem teachers choose is one they have identified from their own practice, something that has posed particular challenges for their own students. Sometimes, however, the problem is posed from above, perhaps by educational policymakers seeking teachers' input on problems identified as national priorities. The National Ministry of Education will ask a general question\u2014how can we help students become independent learners, for example\u2014and invite a sample of schools throughout the country to study the question in the context of lesson study and report their findings. At other times, the administrative authorities issue recommendations that teachers are expected to implement. This combination of top-down and bottom-up planning is a unique feature of the educational policy environment in Japan, and it provides a direct connection between classroom teachers and national education officials.\n\nStep 2: Planning the Lesson. Once a learning goal has been chosen, teachers begin meeting to plan the lesson. Although one teacher will ultimately teach the lesson as part of the process, the lesson itself is seen by all involved as a group product. Often the teachers will start their planning by looking at books and articles produced by other teachers who have studied a similar problem. According to one Japanese book on how to prepare a research lesson, the useful research lesson should be designed with a hypothesis in mind: some idea to be tested and worked out within the context of classroom practice. The goal is not only to produce an effective lesson but also to understand why and how the lesson works to promote understanding among students. The initial plan that the group produces is often presented at a schoolwide faculty meeting in order to solicit criticism. Based on such feedback, a revision is produced, ready for implementation. This initial planning process can take as long as several months.\n\nStep 3: Teaching the Lesson. A date is set to teach the lesson. One teacher will teach the lesson, but everyone in the group will participate fully in the preparation. The night before, the group might stay late at school, preparing materials and engaging in a dress rehearsal, complete with role playing. On the day of the lesson, the other teachers in the group leave their classrooms to observe the lesson being taught. (Teachers leave their classrooms without adult supervision. Two students, appointed to serve as class monitors, are left in charge of the class.) The teachers stand or sit in the back as the lesson begins, but when students are asked to work at their desks, the teacher-observers walk around, observing and taking careful notes on what students are doing as the lesson progresses. Sometimes the lesson is videotaped as well, for later analysis and discussion.\n\nStep 4: Evaluating the Lesson and Reflecting on Its Effect. The group generally stays after school to meet on the day the lesson has been taught. Usually, the teacher who taught the lesson is allowed to speak first, outlining in his or her own view how the lesson worked and what the major problems were. Then other members of the group speak, usually critically, about the parts of the lesson they saw as problematic. The focus is on the lesson, not on the teacher who taught the lesson; the lesson, after all, is a group product, and all members of the group feel responsible for the outcome of their plan. They are, in effect, critiquing themselves. This is important, because it shifts the focus from a personal evaluation to a self-improvement activity.\n\nStep 5: Revising the Lesson. Based on their observations and reflections, teachers in the lesson-study group revise the lesson. They might change the materials, the activities, the problems posed, the questions asked, or all these things. They often will base their changes on specific misunderstandings evidenced by students as the lesson progressed.\n\nStep 6: Teaching the Revised Lesson. Once the revised lesson is ready, the lesson is taught again to a different class. Sometimes it is taught by the same teacher who taught the lesson the first time, but often it is taught by another member of the group. One difference is that this time all members of the school faculty are invited to attend the research lesson. This is quite dramatic in a large school, where there may be more faculty crowded into the classroom than there are students in the class.\n\nStep 7: Evaluating and Reflecting, Again. This time, it is common for all members of the school faculty to participate in a long meeting. Sometimes an outside expert will be invited to attend as well. As before, the teacher who taught the lesson is allowed to speak first, discussing what the group was trying to accomplish, her or his own assessment of how successful the lesson was, and what parts of the lesson still need rethinking. Observers then critique the lesson and suggest changes. Not only is the lesson discussed with respect to what these students learned and understood, but also with respect to more general issues raised by the hypotheses that guided the design of the research lesson. What about teaching and learning, more generally, was learned from the lesson and its implementation?\n\nStep 8: Sharing the Results. All this work has focused on a single lesson. But because Japan is a country with national education goals and curricular guidelines, what this group of teachers has learned will have immediate relevance for other Japanese teachers trying to teach the same concepts at the same grade level. Indeed, the teachers in one lesson-study group see the sharing of their findings as a significant part of the lesson-study process. This sharing can be done in several ways. One is to write a report, and most lesson-study groups do produce a report that tells the story of their group's work. Often these reports are published in book form, even if only for the school's teacher resource room. They are read by the faculty and the principal, and might be forwarded to educational authorities at the prefectural level if judged to be interesting enough. If a university professor happens to have collaborated with the group, the report might be written for a wider audience and published by a commercial publisher.\n\nAnother method of sharing the results of a research lesson is to invite teachers from other schools to observe the teaching of the final version of the lesson. The school in Hiroshima that Yoshida observed hosted a \"lesson fair\" at the end of the school year and invited teachers from schools throughout the region to observe the research lessons they had produced in various subject areas. This is a festive occasion, and it is considered an important part of teachers' professional development. This also is one of the primary ways that teachers can learn about innovations that are being tried at other schools.\n\nWhat Teachers Talk About:  \nAn Example from Simple Subtraction\n\nWe have outlined the general lesson-study process. But what do teachers actually do during their meetings? In this section we again draw on the work of Makoto Yoshida, who spent a year with one lesson-study group in Hiroshima. It is one thing to say that teachers \"planned a lesson,\" quite another to witness the kind of detailed planning that goes on inside these groups. Yoshida brings this across clearly in his description of how a group of lower primary teachers planned the introductory lesson for a first-grade unit on simple subtraction with the minuend larger than ten.\n\nConsistent with the general cultural script for lessons in Japan, the basic flow of the lesson was determined at one of the early meetings of the group. The lesson would start with a problem. Students would work on the problem, then present their various solution methods to the whole class. The teacher would then lead a discussion of the methods students had invented, and conclude the lesson by summarizing the concept that students were intended to understand. But this general flow was only the beginning of what the teachers needed to decide. According to Yoshida, the teachers engaged in detailed discussions of the following topics over the weeks spent planning the lesson:\n\n  * The problem with which the lesson would begin, including such details as the exact wording and numbers to be used.\n  * The materials students would be given to use in trying to solve the problem.\n  * The anticipated solutions, thoughts, and responses that students might develop as they struggled with the problem.\n  * The kinds of questions that could be asked to promote student thinking during the lesson, and the kinds of guidance that could be given to students who showed one or another type of misconception in their thinking.\n  * How to use the space on the chalkboard (Japanese teachers believe that organizing the chalkboard is a key ingredient to organizing students' thinking and understanding).\n  * How to apportion the fixed time of the lesson\u2014about forty minutes\u2014to different parts of the lesson.\n  * How to handle individual differences in level of mathematical preparation among the students.\n  * How to end the lesson\u2014considered a key moment in which students' understanding can be advanced.\n\nDuring one of the early sessions, the Japanese teachers decided to use this problem at the beginning of the lesson:\n\n______________ (Student's name) collected _______ ginkgo leaves. Then he\/she drew ______ pictures of his\/her family on the leaves, one member on each leaf. How many leaves did not have pictures?\n\nThe teachers agreed that it would be good to use one of the students' names in the problem, though they hadn't determined which student. Also still unresolved was the question of what numbers to use in the problem. This question led to a great deal of discussion. Ms. Tsukuda, the teacher who had proposed the problem, began with the following comments, as related by Yoshida:\n\nNot long ago, the Vice-Principal (Ms. Furumoto) showed me several textbooks. All of those textbooks used 12 and 9 (i.e., 12 \u2212 9 =) and 13 and 9. What most of the textbooks said was, they started out by introducing the Subtraction-Addition Method (Genkahoo). In the case of 13 \u2212 9, first subtract the nine from ten (10 12 \u2212 9 12 = 1), then add what is left over in the Is position (which is 3) to the number (1 + 3 = 4). I thought if you narrow it down like that (introducing subtraction with borrowing by teaching the Subtraction-Addition Method), it's not very interesting. So on Saturday I suggested using 15 \u2212 8, or 15 \u2212 7. I thought that these are a little harder than 12 \u2212 9 and 13 \u2212 9. Using these numbers will bring out a lot more ideas or ways to solve the problem. But after reading a lot of different books on the subject, because kids can conceptualize in their heads about up to the number 6 at this age, I thought we should go with numbers like 11 \u2212 6.\n\nThe teachers agreed that the choice of numbers would influence which strategies the students would try when solving the problem. But they had other concerns as well. For example, one teacher wanted to use 12 12 \u2212 7, because one of her students, who was a low achiever, happened to have seven family members. Everyone agreed that this was a good idea. They also liked the number 12 because, since none of the students had fewer than three people in their families, subtracting the number of family members from 12 would involve decomposing ten, which was, of course, the point of the lesson. They briefly considered the number 13 instead of 12, but decided against it, as shown in the following dialogue.\n\nOnce the numbers were agreed on, they wondered how they could make it seem natural that students should start with the number 12. They decided to begin the problem by asking students to select their twelve favorites from among the leaves they had collected. These would be the leaves students would use to work on the problem.\n\nFrom there the discussion turned to the different strategies that students might be expected to generate. The teachers consulted some of the teachers' manuals and found five common ways of solving simple subtraction problems with borrowing. Each method was labeled with technical terminology that seemed quite familiar to the teachers (though not to the researcher). Ms. Furumoto, who was the vice principal and who had been in the school for only one year, named a particular student who appeared to use only the subtraction-addition method. She said this concerned her, because she found it difficult to move students from this particular method into using more sophisticated methods.\n\nAnd so the discussion continued, for weeks, touching on all the topics listed above at a level of detail similar to that manifested in this example. This kind of planning is decidedly intellectual in nature; these teachers are thinking deeply about the options available to them and the way the experiences they structure in their classrooms will facilitate students' understanding of mathematics. There is real excitement as this process unfolds, an excitement that is obvious to those who observe the weekly meetings of a lesson-study group.\n\n## Reflections on  \nLesson Study\n\nFrom the U.S. perspective, it is difficult to believe that a process as narrowly focused as lesson study could really be the driving force behind Japan's educational success. 12 \"One year on a single lesson? We could never do that here,\" mused one of our colleagues. \"It would take forever to make any significant improvements in teaching.\" Yet perhaps that is one of our problems: by being in a hurry and taking the short-term view, we undermine the kinds of gradual long-term improvements that add up to real change.\n\nOn reflection, we can identify a number of interesting aspects of lesson study that might contribute to its success. All these aspects appear to be consistent with what we know about changing complex, cultural activities. Yet, significantly, they differ markedly from most opportunities that U.S. teachers have to improve teaching. It is worth examining some of these features.\n\nLesson Study Is Based on a Long-term  \nContinuous Improvement Model\n\nWe have made this point already, but it is worth making again: Lesson study is a process of improvement that is expected to produce small, incremental improvements in teaching over long periods of time. It is emphatically not a reformlike process.\n\nThe lesson-study process, as conducted in Japan, thus respects the fact that teaching is a cultural activity. Ronald Gallimore, who has written extensively about these issues, says, \"Cultural activities are historically evolved solutions to adaptive challenges. They were constructed over time through collaborative human effort to achieve a stable daily routine. Changes in cultural activity are made slowly, gradually, and are built on existing routines.\" Because teaching is a cultural activity, it will not change quickly or drastically.\n\nLesson Study Maintains a Constant  \nFocus on Student Learning\n\nThe lesson-study process has an unrelenting focus on student learning. All efforts to improve lessons are evaluated with respect to clearly specified learning goals, and revisions are always justified with respect to student thinking and learning.\n\nAlthough this feature might seem obvious and trivial, it is not. Reforms in the United States often are tied to particular theories of teaching or to educational fads instead of to specific learning outcomes. Because of this, success often is measured by the degree to which teachers implement recommended practices. Someone is marked as a good teacher because he or she uses cooperative groups or concrete manipulatives, instead of on the basis of his or her students' successful learning.\n\nLesson Study Focuses on the Direct  \nImprovement of Teaching in Context\n\nBy attending to teaching as it occurs, lesson study respects teaching's complex and systemic nature, and so generates knowledge that is immediately usable. This is in marked distinction to teacher-development programs in the United States, which seek to take knowledge gained in one context (for example, knowledge produced by educational researchers) and translate it into the messy and complex world of the classroom. As useful as educational research might be, it is notoriously difficult to bridge the gap separating researchers and practitioners. Japanese teachers function both as teachers and researchers, making it unnecessary to translate one into the other.\n\nWhat keeps lesson study relevant to the improvement of classroom teaching is its focus on the lesson as the unit to be analyzed and improved. Some might see this focus as trivial: Are there not other, more important, issues that could organize the teachers' inquiry? But in fact, focusing on a particular lesson turns out to be a useful way of simplifying the work of the group while still preserving the complexity that characterizes life in classrooms. The challenge of choosing units for study that retain the important elements of the system one is trying to understand is a classic problem in the research literature, often referred to as the problem of ecological validity. If units that are selected do not have ecological validity, research results often cannot be generalized to actual real-world situations. Lessons, we believe, do have ecological validity. Even a single lesson retains the key complexities\u2014curriculum, student characteristics, materials, and physical environment, among other things\u2014that must be taken into account as we try to improve classroom learning.\n\nThe decision to focus on lessons is especially appropriate in Japan. Because Japan has a centralized educational system and a national curriculum, division of the content into lessons is done in a similar way for all teachers of a given grade level and subject. This means that knowledge developed about a specific eighth-grade mathematics lesson or sequence of lessons, for example, is highly sharable with teachers all over Japan who must teach the same lessons. Reports published by lesson-study groups describing their work and its consequences have an instant audience among their colleagues throughout Japan. Many such reports, in fact, can be purchased in neighborhood bookstores.\n\nLesson Study Is Collaborative\n\nBy working in groups to improve instruction, teachers are able to develop a shared language for describing and analyzing classroom teaching, and to teach each other about teaching.\n\nThe often-described isolation of U.S. teachers has greatly hindered our discussions about teaching and hence our ability to improve it. U.S. teachers rarely have the opportunity to observe other teachers in action and are rarely observed by other teachers. For whatever reason, teaching in the United States is considered a private, not a public, activity. The consequences of this isolation are severe. Teachers might agree in discussion, for example, that \"problem solving\" should be a central focus of the mathematics classroom. But in practice, different teachers might have completely different understandings of what \"problem solving\" entails. The term is the same, but the referent of the term is private and varies from person to person.\n\nAll of this might sound abstract and academic, but it is not. Several years ago one of us was invited to a school by the principal to observe one of the school's star math teachers. As we walked into her room, we saw that the third-grade children were in groups, and the teacher was working with one of the groups. \"Imagine,\" said the teacher, \"that eight kitten ears were visible over the top of a fence, and a whole bunch of kitten feet were visible below the fence. How many kittens are behind the fence?\" Within ten seconds every one of the children's hands shot up. One child, after being called on by the teacher, responded, \"Four.\" to which the teacher responded, \"Correct.\" The process was repeated twelve more times with different problems.\n\nAt this point the teacher walked over and said, \"Isn't it amazing the kinds of problems these kids are solving?\" We were stunned. Why did she call this problem solving? Can a problem that is solvable within ten seconds really be considered a problem? How could she possibly define problem solving with respect to the problem but without reference to the students' level of knowledge and skill relevant to the problem? Clearly, we had no shared understanding of what problem solving is all about.\n\nAnother important benefit of the collaborative nature of lesson study is that it provides a benchmarking process that teachers can use to gauge their own skills. Collaboration includes continuing interactions about effective teaching methods plus observations of one another's classrooms. These activities help teachers reflect on their own practice and identify things that can be improved. As researcher Catherine Lewis found, teacher collaboration can create a profound motivation to improve. A young teacher she interviewed recalled that after watching a lesson by her fellow first-grade teacher, she burst into tears: \"I felt so sorry for my own students. I thought their lives would have been so much better if they'd been in the other teacher's class.\"\n\nAt the same time, the collaborative nature of lesson study balances the self-critiquing of individual teachers with the idea that improved teaching is a joint process, not the province or responsibility of any individual. This idea is embodied in the fact that when Japanese teachers plan a lesson collaboratively, they treat the result as a joint product whose ownership is shared by all in the group. When one teacher teaches the lesson and the others observe, problems that emerge are generally attributed to the lesson as designed by the group, not to the teacher who implemented the lesson. It thus becomes possible for teachers to be critical without offending their colleague. The discussion can focus more pointedly and deeply on the merits and deficiencies of the lesson, and on the process of revising and improving it. This leads us to our final point.\n\nTeachers Who Participate in Lesson Study  \nSee Themselves as Contributing to the Development  \nof Knowledge About Teaching as Well as to Their  \nOwn Professional Development\n\nTeachers in Japan see themselves as developing the profession as well as themselves. Few U.S. teachers would feel this way. When U.S. teachers go to workshops and training seminars, they go to learn about a new activity or technique; most wouldn't conceive it possible that they might be making a contribution to the knowledge base of the teaching profession. The reason they feel this way is that, given our current system, they are right\u2014they are not making such a contribution. In the U.S. system, it is researchers who are supposed to discover and recommend new teaching practices. Teachers are supposed to implement these practices in their classrooms, but alas, they usually fail to do so, much to the chagrin and disappointment of the educational research community. This predictably sets the stage for talk of how the teaching profession attracts a less-than-able subset of the U.S. workforce, and how, apparently, U.S. teachers are just not smart enough to do what researchers tell them to do.\n\nBut there is another possibility: Perhaps what teachers are told by researchers to do makes little sense in the context of an actual classroom. Researchers might be very smart. But they do not have access to the same information that teachers have as they confront real students in the context of real lessons with real learning goals. For researchers to improve teaching, they must guess at many of the things that are readily perceivable by teachers. And they probably guess wrong a good deal of the time.\n\nJapan has succeeded in developing a system that not only develops teachers but also develops knowledge about teaching that is relevant to classrooms and sharable among the members of the teaching profession. Not only do lesson-study groups operate in individual schools, but the process of designing and critiquing research lessons is an integral part of the larger professional activity of both teachers and researchers. Professional conferences include sessions in which participants observe research lessons in local schools and then return to the conference meeting center for panel discussions of the lessons. Although some education conferences in the United States include field trips to special demonstration schools for a small number of interested participants, the kind of broad-based intensive examination of individual lessons common in Japan is almost unknown in this country.\n\nThrough the process of improving lessons and sharing with colleagues the knowledge they acquire, something remarkable happens to teachers: They begin viewing themselves as true professionals. They see themselves as contributing to the knowledge base that defines the profession. And they see this as an integral part of what it means to be a teacher. As one Japanese teacher said, when asked why she invests so much effort in trying to improve lessons, \"Why do we do research lessons? I don't think there are any laws. But if we didn't do research lessons, we wouldn't be teachers.\"\n\n## Conclusions\n\nThrough the gradual improvement of individual lessons, and through the knowledge developed and shared during this process, the Japanese system enables the steady improvement of teachers and teaching. In Japan, educators can look back over the past fifty years and believe that teaching has improved. In the United States, we cannot do this. We can see fashions and trends, ups and downs. But we cannot see the kind of gradual improvement that marks true professions.\n\nIt is clear that we need a research-and-development system for the steady, continuous improvement of teaching; such a system does not exist today. We must move beyond models of reform in which we try to replace one teaching method with another by distributing the written recommendations of experts. Like the Yemeni immigrants in Shanker's story, we get teachers to use our tables, but they often turn those tables upside down. Instead, we must take the first step toward building a system that will, over time, lead to improvement of teaching and learning in the American classroom. We need new ideas for teaching, ideas such as those provided by the videos from Japan and Germany. But instead of copying these ideas we must feed them into our own research-and-development system for the improvement of classroom teaching. And we must empower teachers to be the leaders in this process. In the next chapter we lay out a concrete proposal for building such a system.\n\n## CHAPTER 8\n\n## Setting the Stage for  \nContinuous Improvement\n\nALTHOUGH THE HIGH achievement of Japanese students has been a favorite media topic, Japan's system for improving teaching has attracted little interest in the United States. Perhaps this is because it is a program with little fanfare. Americans like to think big. Something as simple and straightforward as lesson study just isn't dramatic enough to capture the imagination of educational reformers in the United States. \"Wouldn't it take forever,\" a colleague asks, \"to improve teaching one lesson at a time?\" \"Our kids need help now, not ten years from now,\" says a politician. \"We need major restructuring, not modest improvements.\" Yet despite our desperate rush to reform, the evidence shows that little has changed inside U.S. classrooms. By trying to accomplish too much, we have sacrificed opportunities for small, cumulative improvements.\n\nJapan, in contrast, has attached great value to small improvements. Like the tortoise, Japan has pinned its hopes on steady progress, not on momentous leaps forward. There is nothing magical about the modest changes Japanese teachers devise in Is it possible to build such a system here in the United States? Our answer is yes, and the time to build such a system is now. A system of gradual improvement like that found in Japan depends on clear standards for what students should learn and means of assessing progress toward meeting the standards. These have been lacking in the United States up to now, but this is changing rapidly. Most states have set new, high standards for what students must learn. The problem now is to find ways to meet these standards.\n\nWe believe that the key to meeting the new standards is to improve teaching. The same curricula and teaching methods we have been using will no longer suffice. In this chapter and the next we propose a system of gradual improvement in teaching over time. We believe that if teaching can be improved\u2014not just in special locations but inside the average classroom\u2014student learning will follow. Even though we have seen that teaching, as a cultural system, can be difficult to change, the case of Japan shows that change is possible.\n\nThe core of our proposal is to establish something like Japan's lesson-study system here in the United States. Many readers will no doubt be skeptical that a program developed in another culture can be instituted here. Certainly, we do not expect the system that evolves here to be identical to the one that has evolved in Japan. Our system differs from the Japanese system in critical ways; not least among them is the lack of a national curriculum. Because no system of gradual improvement has ever been tried in this country on a national scale before, much will have to be tested and refined over time. Our goal is simply to convince the reader that something like lesson study deserves to be tested seriously in the United States. It is our hypothesis that if our educational system can find a way to use lesson study for building professional knowledge of teaching, teaching and learning will improve.\n\nImprovement will not happen by itself. It will require designing and building a research-and-development system that explicitly targets steady, gradual improvement of teaching and learning. Like the Japanese, we must be able to look back ten or twenty years from now and clearly see that we have improved\u2014gradually but continuously. We cannot make such a statement today. What kind of system will allow us do so in the future?\n\n## Six Principles for Gradual,  \nMeasurable Improvement\n\nWe propose six principles that must be taken seriously by anyone attempting to improve teaching. It is not coincidental that these principles are largely congruent with the key features of lesson study enumerated in Chapter 7. We note here, and again later, that lesson study is one process that is fully consistent with these principles. Indeed, that is why we are optimistic about the benefits that will accrue if lesson study can become part of the U.S. educational system.\n\nPrinciple #1: Expect Improvement to Be  \nContinual, Gradual, and Incremental\n\nBecause teaching is a system that is deeply embedded in the surrounding culture of schools, any changes will come in small steps, not in dramatic leaps. History supports this claim: In spite of waves of reform that have called for sudden, major shifts, teaching has always evolved like other complex, culturally embedded activities\u2014slowly and incrementally. Dramatic and fundamental changes can occur, even at the core, but these will result from accumulating small changes over time.\n\nThis means that we must take a long-term view when we design initiatives for improving teaching. We must reset our expectations, cultivated over a century of school reform, and anticipate slow and steady improvement, not momentous change. Efforts to reform teaching overnight, or even over a few years, are unlikely to have their intended effect. In addition, we must learn to value small improvements. Small improvements often are derided as \"too little, too late\" and are killed off before they have a chance to build into something significant. Teachers must be allowed and encouraged to invent small changes in the system of teaching and then to keep track of these changes so they can be accumulated and shared.\n\nPrinciple #2: Maintain a Constant  \nFocus on Student Learning Goals\n\nThe goal of teaching is students' learning. The goal of improving teaching is improving students' learning. Too often, however, reformers forget the goals of reform, gauging their success by changes in the particular forms of teaching. Bruce Joyce and colleagues, who have been involved in school reform for some time, have noted: \"The centrality of student learning becomes lost as the details of program implementation become ends in themselves.\" The question of whether and how these changes are improving students' learning in the teacher's classroom gets lost in the sheer effort to change.\n\nImproving complex systems, such as teaching, requires a relentless focus on the bottom-line goals\u2014in this case, students' learning\u2014and a commitment to evaluate changes with respect to these goals. Such a focus appears to be a necessary component of any successful school improvement program. Listen again to Bruce Joyce and his colleagues: \"In all reported cases of school improvement initiatives in which substantial student learning occurred, school staff kept students' interests as learners central throughout the planning, implementation, and assessment phases. We did not find a single case in the literature where student learning increased but had not been a central goal.\"\n\nPrinciple #3: Focus on Teaching,  \nNot Teachers\n\nA number of recent efforts to improve classroom instruction have targeted the competency of teachers. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, for example, has instituted a voluntary certification process to help raise the standards by which teachers are certified. Many states have instituted alternative certification programs designed to recruit high-achieving individuals without formal teacher training into the profession. Although we applaud the desire to raise standards for certification and to increase the pool of talented teachers, we believe that long-term improvement in teaching will depend more on the development of effective methods for teaching than on the identification and recruitment of talented individuals into the profession.\n\nIn biological evolution we know that it is the gene that is subject to natural selection, not the individual organism. Individuals are short-lived by evolutionary standards; they don't last long enough to undergo the slow process of evolutionary change. Genes, in contrast, persist over hundreds and thousands of generations. Teaching, similarly, persists, while teachers come and go. If we are to achieve long-term improvements in classroom teaching and learning, we must shift our focus from teachers to teaching. As we noted earlier, teachers follow scripts that they acquire as members of their culture, and their effectiveness depends on the scripts they use. Recruiting highly qualified teachers will not result in steady improvement as long as they continue to use the same scripts. It is the scripts that must be improved.\n\nPrinciple #4: Make Improvements in Context\n\nGoals give us the yardstick against which improvement can be measured. But how can we identify and develop ways to improve teaching? Because teaching is complex, improvements in teaching will be most successful if they are developed in the classrooms where teachers teach and students learn. Teaching is a system built from all the elements of the local context: teacher, students, curriculum, and so on. Improving the system requires taking all of these elements into account. What works in one classroom might or might not work in another classroom. Ideas for improvement that come from afar\u2014including, for example, what we've learned from Japanese lessons\u2014will need to be tested and adapted to our own local classrooms if they are to have any chance of success. Teaching is unlikely to improve through researchers' developing innovations in one place and then prescribing them for everyone. Innovations can spread around the country, but only by trying them out and adjusting them again and again as they encounter different kinds of classrooms.\n\nEducators have become increasingly aware of the importance of context in understanding and facilitating learning, but the arguments have been applied more often to students' learning than to teachers' learning. Teaching, given its systemic, cultural nature, is especially sensitive to context\u2014a good reason to take advantage of the very contexts in which teachers function every day. Teachers learning in the classrooms and schools in which they teach is an idea that has been proposed for some time, yet most teachers have not realized this opportunity. It certainly contrasts with many traditional methods of teacher development (for example, weekend workshops, university courses) in which teachers are expected to learn something new, disconnected from their context, then hope it works when they take it back to their classrooms.\n\nPrinciple #5: Make Improvement  \nthe Work of Teachers\n\nOne way to ensure that improvements can be developed in context is to entrust change to those engaged in the activity\u2014classroom teachers. Improving something as complex and culturally embedded as teaching requires the efforts of all the players, including students, parents, and politicians. But teachers must be the primary driving force behind change. They are best positioned to understand the problems that students face and to generate possible solutions. In fact, almost all successful attempts to improve teaching have involved teachers working together to improve students' learning.\n\nA second reason for making improvement the work of teachers is that there are so many teachers, especially when compared with the number of educational researchers. If we can find a way to marshal the efforts and experiences of our 2.5 million classroom teachers, the potential is far greater than anything that could be achieved by a few thousand researchers.\n\nTeachers should be engaged in improvement because they are the only ones who can ensure that students' learning improves. They are the gatekeepers of the classrooms in which teaching and learning take place. As we pointed out earlier, the classroom is the final common channel through which all efforts to improve school learning must flow. We cannot not work with teachers. They are, necessarily, the solution to the problem of improving teaching.\n\nPrinciple #6: Build a System That Can  \nLearn from Its Own Experience\n\nEach day, vast numbers of U.S. teachers solve problems, try new approaches, and develop their own knowledge of what works and what doesn't work in their own classrooms. Yet we have no way to harvest what even the most brilliant teachers have learned, no way to share that knowledge and use it to advance the professional knowledge base of teaching. U.S. teachers work alone, for the most part, and when they retire, all that they have learned is lost to the profession. Each new generation of teachers must start from scratch, finding its own way.\n\nIf efforts to improve schools are going to add up to more than just a temporary fix, it is necessary to find a way to accumulate knowledge about teaching and to share this knowledge with new practitioners entering the teaching profession. In the long run, of course, we need to change the teaching scripts that govern classroom practice. Scripts themselves might be the most effective means of storing professional knowledge. But scripts will not be changed unless we have a knowledge base to support the change. We must build a system with a memory, in other words, one that provides a means of accumulating the experiences and insights of teachers. Without this, there is no way of getting better over time.\n\n## Initiatives for Change:  \nSetting the Stage\n\nThe six principles proposed above are consistent with what we have learned about teaching. But principles alone will not bring about change. We must formulate action plans, based on these principles, to guide the work of school improvement over time. Because the United States has no tradition of gradual improvement, we must test the plans, monitor their level of success, and use the information to refine them over time. To begin the process, we propose a program based squarely on the process of lesson study, a program that we believe, if implemented, will produce long-term steady improvements in students' learning.\n\nEstablishing the program we envision is a monumental task, not so much because it is costly or requires new resources but because it involves a change in school culture. Changes in cultures, as we have noted many times, do not happen overnight. It is not that schools in the United States cannot improve classroom practice. Indeed, the program we propose shares many features with a number of local school improvement efforts that have shown great success. The problem is that these successes have never reached far beyond the sites receiving special attention and assistance. They certainly have not touched the average school and the average teacher.\n\nSimply recommending lesson study as a useful process is not enough, because the process cannot succeed, on a wide scale, without a supporting context. In the remainder of this chapter, we propose three initiatives in the form of school district tasks that must accompany the introduction of lesson study. The initiatives are directed toward creating cultures in schools and districts that would support any long-term teacher-driven improvement process, including lesson study. For each initiative, we describe the roles that must be played by the primary stakeholders\u2014school boards, superintendents, principals, teachers, and parents.\n\nRemember, our current system for improving teaching, just like the system of classroom teaching, is a cultural activity. As such, it will change gradually, just as teaching itself does. To succeed, we must be able to start small but also be able to expand. Whatever research-and-development system we construct to improve teaching over time must be capable of working even for a single district, for that is where such change will inevitably start. But there also must be a clear means of growing the system into one that can serve the nation as a whole.\n\nInitiative #1: Build Consensus  \nfor Continuous Improvement\n\nWho, in a school district, is in the best position to start the process of improving teaching? There is no single answer, because each district is different. Teachers, of course, are essential for the success of any effort. But it is rare for teachers to have the opportunity and time to lead such an effort. There must be involvement from the very top, especially from the school board. Principals will have difficulty starting such a process by themselves unless they have the unqualified support of their superintendents. Superintendents are a logical choice to lead the change, and they definitely will play a major role. But typically, they don't last long enough in their positions to follow through over long periods of time. School boards, though historically ineffective in leading reform efforts, have the power to make a real difference if they so choose. To be effective, school boards must build political consensus and public support for long-term improvement and then commit resources for many years to the task of improving students' learning.\n\nBuilding consensus around a process of slow, gradual improvement will not be easy. Traditionally, Americans have been more willing to accept dramatic failures than to applaud, or even appreciate, small successes. It seems as if we have an all-or-nothing culture: We want results fast or we are not interested. Gradual change, although it is the working model in Japan, has not been an option for many Americans.\n\nIn order to sell a model of gradual improvement to all stakeholders, outcome measures must be developed that are sophisticated enough to detect small changes in student learning and to differentiate such changes from random fluctuations. As students' learning gradually improves, it will be easier for school boards to strengthen the district's resolve to work hard for small improvements. It is important for school board members to remember that alternative paths, driven by impatience, have not worked well. The evidence suggests that efforts to produce rapid, wholesale change have failed to improve schools in virtually every case. It's time to start a realistic program of improvement.\n\nInitiative #2: Set Clear Learning Goals  \nfor Students and Align Assessments with These Goals\n\nWe hear a lot these days about standards. Much of the discussion, at least when politicians are involved, refers to how high or low standards are, and to the importance of raising them. But standards involve a great deal more than simply high expectations. Standards contain the goals that we value most. And clear goals for what we want students to learn are essential. Without them, it is not possible to set a course toward improvement. Without clear goals, we also cannot know whether changes represent improvement or... just change.\n\nNot only must there be clear goals, but if teachers are going to collaborate to find ways of improving instruction, the goals must be widely accepted. Most high-achieving countries have national goals for student learning. Japan, for example, has an explicit set of mathematics-learning goals for all of its students, grade by grade. When a Japanese teacher group works on improving lessons, it is not working alone. Many teacher groups throughout Japan are working on lessons with the same goals in mind. This means they can easily share the products of their efforts.\n\nIn the United States, we do not have national learning goals, and in some cases, we do not even share a set of learning goals within a district. We tend to rationalize this situation by referring to local and individual needs of different groups of students in different parts of the country and even in different schools and classrooms. Although local contexts might differ in some respects, we must realize that a set of shared learning and curricular goals is a minimum requirement for teachers to collaborate effectively. This does not mean that we must enforce, or even adopt, a set of national goals, but it does mean that we must, at least, develop shared goals at the district level.\n\nFortunately, there is a growing consensus around the country regarding the importance of developing clear learning and curricular goals for all students. As we noted in Chapter 1, the standards set by various professional organizations and the standards being developed within individual states have moved this activity to the top of the educational agenda. The National Science Board, an independent national science advisory panel established by the U.S. Congress in 1950, recently issued a statement urging \"all stakeholders in our vast grass-roots system of K-12 education to develop a nation-wide consensus for a common core of knowledge and competency in mathematics and science.\" In the short run, it will be difficult to develop a national consensus on learning goals, but a district-wide consensus surely can be achieved.\n\nSome thought must be given to the way in which learning goals are stated. Goals can emphasize skills (for example, \"students should be able to add two three-digit numbers\"), or they can emphasize conceptual understanding (\"students should understand how the place value nature of numbers allows different methods of adding to work equally well\"). They can be short-term or long-term. They also can be at various levels of generality. For example, they might refer to \"being able to perform basic arithmetic operations on whole numbers\" or \"being able to add single-digit numbers whose sum is less than ten.\" There is no one correct way to define learning goals. What is important, first, is that goals capture the kind of learning that we most value and, second, that they are clear enough to link directly to the lessons, units, and grade levels that make up a curriculum.\n\nWho should develop shared goals for student learning? Because such goals should be district-wide at least, superintendents must take a leadership role. But the development of shared goals will require participation of parents, principals, and especially teachers. Districts can take advantage of the best work that has already been done at the state and national levels in setting clear goals pitched at an appropriate level of specificity.\n\nThe process of attaching meaning to the learning goals is a long one requiring a great deal of work by teachers. A learning goal is not easily defined and not easily summarized in a written document. The true meaning of learning goals becomes apparent only as teachers link them to assessments and weave them into a coherent curriculum and use them to guide their teaching decisions.\n\nAssessments must be aligned with goals. Often, assessments are linked to goals for purposes of accountability, but assessments play an essential role in the improvement process. Even with clear goals, teachers cannot improve their practice unless they have access to a steady flow of information about the effectiveness of their teaching. As teachers engage in continual assessment of their students' learning, they will gradually develop understandings of how students learn from classroom instruction, and they will begin to perceive direct links between the goals they set, their own teaching, and their students' learning. With this information, teachers are in a good position to work together to improve their lessons.\n\nInitiative #3: Restructure Schools  \nas Places Where Teachers Can Learn\n\nA little-recognized truth in educational reform is that every recommendation for improving teaching requires teachers to learn. This is not surprising. Changing one's practice in any professional field requires examining the old and new practices, making the appropriate modifications, and learning to carry out new practices effectively. It would be silly to expect teachers to simply execute improved teaching methods without providing them with opportunities to develop these methods and learn how to use them.\n\nIf we expect teachers to play a major role in improving instruction, as they must, then we need to provide an environment in which they can do this work. Unfortunately, the vast majority of American schools are not suited to this purpose. Teachers work alone, for the most part, and have little time to interact, much less collaborate. They arrive at school shortly before the students do and leave shortly after the students leave. While at school, teachers spend most of their time teaching.\n\nThis may sound perfectly fine to many people. Aren't teachers paid to teach? Aren't teachers already trained in college and certified to teach? Why should they be doing anything else in school? Yet other professions that involve complex skills, such as law or medicine, expect their members to become more skilled over time and provide opportunities for learning new skills. This is true even for professions that often are assumed to require less training. Albert Shanker noted that the new process for building cars introduced by Saturn provides ninety-two hours of reeducation per year for each employee. Shanker said, \"It is ironic that a bunch of people whose business is building cars understand so well the importance of educating their employees, whereas people in education seem to assume that teachers and other school staff will be able to step right into a new way of doing things with little or no help. If it takes... 92 hours a year per employee to make a better automobile, it will take that and more to make better schools.\"\n\nBut the common American view of teaching does not include learning to teach while teaching. We typically expect that most teachers will be doing pretty much the same things in their classrooms when they are veteran teachers as when they begin teaching; in fact, some people believe that beginning teachers might be more effective, entering the profession with fresh ideas. And given the lack of learning opportunities for teachers, they might be right.\n\nImproving teaching is not something that can be left to refresher courses in the evenings or during the summer in university classrooms. Improving teaching must be done at school, in classrooms, and it must be seen by teachers, parents, and administrators as a substantial and important part of the teacher's workweek. Schools must be places where teachers, as well as students, can learn.\n\nChanging schools to support teachers' learning requires changing the culture of schools. We have emphasized culture as an important idea for understanding why teaching looks the way it does and why it is resistant to change. The reader could get the impression that it is impossible to change teaching because there are so many cultural factors that keep it in place. It is crucial, at this point, to distinguish between the wider American culture and the culture of schools. They are related, but they are not the same. What is needed to improve teaching is a change in school culture, and this is possible. Witness the individual schools and districts around the country that are changing.\n\nA requirement for beginning the change process is finding time during the workweek for teachers to collaborate. In our opinion, two hours per week is a reasonable goal, at least initially. Time is a precious commodity in teachers' schedules, and finding time for teachers to work together presents a challenge to the typical school district. Many people assume that the cost associated with doing so would be prohibitive. But there are low-cost solutions that can work and that are working in a number of school districts across the country. Some of these solutions are based on the fact that nonteaching personnel now account for more than half of the U.S. education workforce, a percentage that has increased steadily since World War II and that far exceeds the proportion of nonteaching personnel in most other countries. If funding can be shifted into teaching, and away from nonteaching personnel, it is possible to free teachers to devote significant amounts of time each week to the improvement of teaching.\n\nIn a recent book, Linda Darling-Hammond presents one analysis of how this can be accomplished. Darling-Hammond analyzed the way staff time is allocated in typical high schools and found that only 33 percent of the time was dedicated to teaching. By eliminating bureaucratic staff and adding teachers, some schools have been able to reduce class size and create up to ten hours per week for each teacher to invest in individual and collaborative efforts to improve teaching. And all of this has been accomplished without an increase in the overall cost of education. Darling-Hammond cites as an example the case of New York City's Community District 2. In this district, professional development has been targeted as the highest priority, and the school has been restructured to provide time for teacher collaboration and even cross-school observations by teachers. Student achievement has gone up.\n\nSome districts have been able to implement such changes in personnel quite quickly. For others this might be a long-term solution, as staff retirees are replaced by teachers and as teachers' jobs are redefined. For these latter districts, a more appealing short-term solution might be to review the current workday schedule along with all the in-service opportunities for teachers and to restructure these into regular collaborative work time. Principals and superintendents will need to take the lead in reorganizing schedules and in-service activities.\n\nThis much can be achieved without additional resources. The changes require only redirecting funds already spent operating our schools. Now imagine what would happen if we were to take the millions of dollars spent every year to reform American education, much of which has little affect on classroom practice, and use it to provide the time and resources teachers need to improve teaching. We would have plenty of funds to support a vigorous, highly focused research-and-development system. The evidence suggests that this would be a wise change in how we spend reform money: increased spending on teacher education has a greater positive effect on student learning than increased spending on other school variables.\n\nIt is becoming clear that the district is the unit that can restructure most successfully. As was noted earlier, the district is small enough that it should be possible to achieve consensus on students' learning goals and to implement a common curriculum. At the same time, the district level is large enough to allow substantive restructuring in terms of funding and staff allocations. The district office is usually the site of budgetary control. The district also is the level at which superintendents and school boards can exert strong leadership.\n\nA final reason that restructuring should be done at the district level is that a district-wide program provides teachers with a critical but often overlooked opportunity for professional growth. Teachers must have the opportunity to enlarge their horizons beyond their own classrooms and their own schools. We are asking them to undertake a significant task: to improve the quality of teaching as part of a nationwide effort. To do more than improve teaching in their own classrooms, to raise the standard of good teaching within the profession\u2014this demands that teachers work together, sharing what they learn in their classrooms to help one another learn even more. It demands that they assume responsibility for building the profession's knowledge base. Working with teachers from their own and other schools will allow them to develop this critical new professional perspective.\n\n## Summary\n\nIf these first three initiatives can be implemented, the stage will be ready for long-term, steady improvement. These are not initiatives that can be launched by a single teacher inside a single classroom, but they can be set in motion by a single school district. They will be sustained only with strong leadership at the highest levels of the community and broad participation by the school board, superintendent, principals, teachers, and parents.\n\nEven implementing these critical three initiatives, however, will not, in and of itself, produce gains in student achievement. For this we must make substantive changes inside classrooms, at the place where student learning occurs. Once teachers have time during their workweek to devote to the improvement of teaching, what should they do with this time? We turn to this question in the next chapter.\n\n## CHAPTER 9\n\n## The Steady Work of  \nImproving Teaching\n\nONCE A DISTRICT has laid out an organizational structure for school improvement, with time for teachers to work in collaborative groups, what should teachers do with their newfound time? Many reformers who thought increased planning time, by itself, would lead to improvements in teaching have found that it does not. Indeed, teachers who are told simply to collaborate often find that they are not sure what they are supposed to do, or how such collaborations can help them to improve their teaching. One school district that restructured to allow teachers time to collaborate found within months that teachers were complaining about the time they were supposed to spend meeting together. \"Let's just go home early,\" said one of the teachers, \"and use the time at home to prepare for tomorrow's lessons.\"\n\nThis is not teachers' fault; it merely demonstrates the fact that although most people now agree that teachers need opportunities for professional development, there is a dearth of knowledge about the process by which teachers actually learn to improve their practice. We are attracted to the Japanese notion of lesson study because it lays out a clear model for teacher learning and a clear set of principles or hypotheses about how teachers learn. Lesson study embodies a set of concrete steps that teachers can take, over time, to improve teaching. These steps may need to be modified to work in the United States. But we believe it is better to start with an explicit model, even if it needs revising, than with no model at all.\n\nWhich is why, in this chapter, we propose lesson study, American-style, as the foundation of our efforts to improve teaching in this country. We describe our vision of how lesson study can work for U.S. teachers. Lesson study, as it works in Japan, is fully consistent with what we know about how to improve complex cultural activities like teaching, and it works, simultaneously, toward improving both teaching and teachers' knowledge and skills. This means it could lead to the kind of continuing improvement in learning that American students deserve. The process is not magical or sudden, and it will encounter some significant challenges. It will be, above all, steady work. Our task is to explore through planning, implementation, and reflection how lesson study can grow and adapt to become a functioning research-and-development system for the improvement of teaching in the United States.\n\n## Can Lesson Study Work  \nin the United States?\n\nBefore we rush to implement a lesson-study program for the United States, we pause to question whether such a plan could work in the United States at all. There are several reasons to suppose that it could. For one, the features of lesson study, as practiced in Japan, are very similar to those reported by American researchers as characterizing successful experimental teacher-development programs. Reports of American school-based improvement initiatives that include such features\u2014for example, setting goals for students' learning, working together to improve practice, attending to the curriculum and students' thinking\u2014indicate that teaching can be improved by programs that resemble lesson study. Lesson study also is consistent with another, gradually expanding, movement that is often referred to by the phrase \"teacher-as-researcher.\" One of the goals of this movement is to encourage teachers to engage in research, thereby creating in the teacher a temperament oriented to inquiry and a disposition toward investigating one's own practice. Such a disposition is at the heart of the lesson-study process.\n\nBut such evidence is weak, at best. What works on a small scale in experimental settings almost never scales up, especially in education. Many teachers in the United States do not even prepare lesson plans, at least not around student learning goals. Why would they suddenly be willing to engage in lesson study? For lesson study to be a viable means of improving teaching nationwide, it must be able to flourish and grow within the current educational landscape. For this to happen, two tests must be passed. First, lesson study must meet the needs of teachers. Teachers must be motivated to engage in lesson study. They must be willing to try it, and once it is started, they must find it relevant and useful to the problems they face each day in the classroom. Only then will they continue to participate. Second, lesson study must fit within the current political and policy contexts that surround American education; in other words, it must meet the needs of the U.S. education system. Teachers are under great pressure to perform, and the stakes keep getting higher. Lesson study must meet the needs that teachers have to meet these pressures.\n\nMeeting Teachers' Needs\n\nTeaching is a difficult and demanding job. Teachers are isolated from their colleagues and rarely have the opportunity to participate in professional life outside the classroom. They are pressed by administrators and reformers to take on new responsibilities, to teach in new ways, and to show better results. But they are given few resources to meet these demands. Lesson study is not just another activity that teachers must add to the list of expectations, it is a way for teachers to deal with these expectations. Lesson study is a comprehensive program that can provide teachers with opportunities for practice-based professional development that, until now, they have been denied.\n\nWith its detailed analysis of practice and its frequent observations of other teachers, lesson study provides benchmarks against which teachers can measure their own practice and compare it with that of their colleagues. These comparisons, more than any external rewards, can create in teachers a strong desire to improve their own practice. As teachers watch other teachers, it is possible for them to imagine new possibilities for their own teaching. Lesson study provides a concrete means of trying out these possibilities in a nonthreatening context with the help of colleagues. This personal motivation is, in the end, the kind of demand that will produce improved teaching.\n\nSome may question whether, even if they become motivated to participate in lesson study, teachers have the capabilities to handle its demands. In our view, lesson study is not the kind of process in which teachers must first develop a list of capabilities and then begin to design improved lessons. Lesson study is, in fact, the ideal context in which teachers develop deeper and broader capabilities. This is what we mean when we say that lesson study is a form of teacher development as well as a program for improving teaching.\n\nSuppose, for example, that a group of fifth-grade teachers wants to improve an introductory lesson on decimal fractions. As part of the process, teachers would engage in research. They might consult other texts, invite special consultants for this aspect of their work, or meet with other teachers in the school or district. They might also study how students think about decimal fractions, and try to use this knowledge to predict how students would respond to various instructional alternatives. Through all of these activities, teachers would be increasing their own knowledge of decimal fractions, and doing so in a way directly relevant to the improvement of their ability to teach the subject. In many ways, teachers' learning more about mathematics in the context of lesson study is preferable to taking another mathematics course at a neighboring college, because the teachers have a concrete and compelling reason for learning more about this topic. Much of what they learn can be connected to other aspects of teaching the topic\u2014the tasks selected for students, the kinds of discussions that will be beneficial, and so on.\n\nLesson Study in the U.S. Context\n\nIf we assume that lesson study can meet teachers' needs, we still must examine how it fits within the U.S. education context. To succeed, lesson study must connect both to the curriculum of the school and to the current policy context in which teachers work.\n\nCurriculum. In Japan, where there is a national curriculum, it makes sense to spend sustained periods of time perfecting a small set of lessons. Because all teachers teach the same curriculum, knowledge generated by one lesson-study group is usable by everyone who teaches at the same grade level. But the United States does not have a national curriculum.\n\nAlthough the absence of a national curriculum will shape the nature of lesson study in the United States, it will not prevent lesson study from succeeding. The key is that the group of teachers who undertake lesson study must work from a shared curriculum. We have suggested that at the least, this must be done within the school district. As districts that use the same curriculum connect, teachers can share their results across district boundaries. In this sense, the same opportunity offered by Japan's national curriculum is available, though in a more limited fashion, to U.S. teachers.\n\nStandards, Assessment, and Accountability. In today's policy context, curriculum is increasingly aligned with content standards and assessments. Teachers, more and more, are working within contexts in which they are accountable for students' performance on assessments. Lesson study is unique in its potential connection to local standards and assessment. Because improvements are curriculum-based, lesson study allows teachers to devote their time to improvements that align with their local standards and for which they are held accountable.\n\nThe traditional researchers' method for testing improvements\u2014running an experiment that pits the new lessons against the old\u2014is hardly possible in a teacher's ongoing instructional program. But if lesson study is a district-wide activity, teachers can compare their own results with those obtained by colleagues elsewhere in the district or in other districts. The most important results pertain to the quality of students' thinking and learning during the lesson. Provided appropriate assessment systems are in place, feedback from different classrooms can be used to discard the new lessons or to revise them and make them even better. Repeating the lessons with other students, in other contexts, is a quality-control process that works slowly, but it is a powerful process that assures teachers that improvements will occur gradually and continuously.\n\nConnecting Policy with Classroom Practice. Finally, lesson study has the potential to solve what has been identified as a major problem in U.S. education, and that is the gap that exists between educational policymakers and classroom practice. Teachers are caught in a persistent dilemma: Although they frequently receive advice and recommendations on how to change their teaching, and they know that some of these changes would probably benefit their students, they also lack the learning opportunities needed to study the recommendations, decide which changes would be meaningful, and learn how to implement them. This leads teachers to devalue suggestions proposed by outsiders such as researchers or policymakers, because they fail to see them as relevant to their everyday classroom practice. And those who suggest the changes seldom get continuing feedback from teachers.\n\nAn example of the teacher's dilemma has been prompted by today's reform recommendations in mathematics and science. These recommendations ask teachers to teach in a more adventurous, ambitious way. Rather than demonstrating procedures for solving problems and then giving students worksheets of problems to practice, they are asked to present challenging problems to students and encourage students to develop their own methods of solution. Then they are to engage students in a thoughtful discussion of the alternative procedures, analyzing the pros and cons of each. When well executed, this method of teaching has been shown to be quite effective. But unless one knows what to expect from students, it is a scary way to teach. Success depends on making many split-second decisions about which student suggestions to follow up on and which to ignore. What is learned by students during the lesson seems to depend on whether students hit upon the solution methods that make for good class discussions. Teachers can feel that they have lost control of the lesson, but they are told to \"embrace the uncertainty,\" because this is what better teaching is like.\n\nLesson study offers an alternative that will appeal to the teachers caught in this difficult position. Lesson study shifts the key for effective teaching from on-the-fly decision making during the lesson to careful investigation and planning before the lesson. Through the lesson-study process, teachers can collect information about how students are likely to respond to the challenging problems, and they can plan which responses to introduce into the discussion in which order. They can thereby orchestrate a rich discussion without the debilitating uncertainty with which they previously had to deal. Of course, some decisions still will need to be made extemporaneously, but good advance planning shoulders much of the burden. Indeed, planning takes on new value as a premier teaching skill. And participation in lesson study allows teachers to improve their planning skills over time.\n\nThus, what starts as a vague and impractical suggestion from educational experts gets transformed, through lesson study, into an improvement in classroom practice. By communicating the results of this improvement, teachers, researchers, and policymakers all increase their power to contribute to the improvement of education.\n\n## Establishing the  \nLesson-Study Process\n\nThe fact that lesson study could provide the key ingredient for improving students' learning, district by district, across the United States does not mean it will be easy to implement. Even if the initiatives presented in the previous chapter are undertaken to provide a supportive context for continuous improvement, and even if the participants endorse the potential of lesson study, principals and teachers still face many challenges.\n\nLeadership for Lesson Study\n\nOne of the biggest problems schools will face is that there are few leaders among its teachers for launching this process. Very few teachers have experienced this kind of professional development. Most teachers, as we have noted, work alone, in isolation from their colleagues. Those who do collaborate with other teachers generally do everything except work on the improvement of classroom lessons.\n\nIn the absence of experienced teacher leaders, principals must take an active role in introducing lesson study. The principal must become personally and directly involved in beginning the process and establishing it as a permanent part of the school program. The principal's involvement is one way to signal that improving teaching is the most critical part of the school's development. The principal must work closely with teachers and must nurture teacher leaders who are willing to devote considerable time and energy to the lesson-study process. Even when teachers step up to take more and more responsibility, the principal must remain active in maintaining the school's long-term commitment to the process. This means that the principal needs to understand and believe in the six principles that we proposed in the previous chapter. The principal must expect improvement to be gradual and continual, which will not be easy. The principal will need the support of other principals in the district as he or she rethinks current in-service practices and finds creative ways to institutionalize the structures and support necessary for this process to become a new way of doing business.\n\nOf course, building a culture and tradition of lesson study in schools cannot depend solely on the principal. Teachers must begin to assume more and more leadership and responsibility. There are two leverage points in the U.S. educational system for encouraging this to happen. One is preservice education. Currently there are no teacher-preparation programs, of which we are aware, that engage students in a collaborative lesson-study experience. Thus, lesson study is a new concept for teachers entering the profession. If undergraduate methods courses were restructured to introduce students to collaboratively planning and testing lessons, new teachers would be ready to assume leadership roles more quickly. Collaboratively planning lessons means something very different from the traditional American exercise of writing lesson plans (an exercise with which most preservice teachers are too familiar). As was described in Chapter 7, lesson study includes setting clear learning goals, selecting and sequencing tasks by anticipating students' responses (and doing research, if necessary, to identify these responses), and planning the class discussions to build on students' responses and highlight the major points. These are challenging activities, but many undergraduate methods courses would benefit from taking them seriously.\n\nAs we noted earlier, preservice education, no matter how effective, cannot by itself produce continuous improvement. Continuous improvement requires ongoing opportunities to learn and improve while teaching. A second leverage point for jump-starting the lesson-study process is located in the field, where teaching occurs. As a program of school-based lesson study is getting started, it might help to bring in outside consultants to provide initial momentum and guidance. Even in Japan, where there is a fifty-year tradition of lesson study, many study groups work with an outside consultant. Such arrangements can provide additional focus and new ideas for the group. It must be remembered, however, that eventually teachers must lead the process and consultants must be just that\u2014consultants. This means that there needs to be a strategic plan for preparing and supporting teachers to become leaders of lesson-study groups.\n\nDistricts might begin the process of lesson study by inviting two teachers from each school to work intensively with a consultant who has the knowledge and skills to develop school leaders for lesson study. These teacher leaders, over time, would start lesson-study groups within their own schools but maintain their relations with leaders in other schools. Each school is different, and we cannot predict where the leaders will come from in any school. But because improving students' learning must be the number-one concern of each school's principal, the principal must assign priority to developing leadership for the improvement of teaching.\n\nMaking It Work\n\nLesson study is, at its core, a teacher activity. Teachers must make it work. True, it is impossible for teachers to initiate and sustain a vigorous program of lesson study without the active support of the school board, superintendent, principal, and parents. But the success of the activity ultimately depends on teachers.\n\nThe actual process of lesson study might take a variety of forms, depending on the mission and goal of the school, the learning goals set for students, the teachers' interests, and so on. However, some general guidelines can be suggested to keep the activity focused on the primary goal of improving classroom lessons to increase students' learning.\n\nWe already have identified time as an essential requirement. For teacher groups to make measurable progress in their efforts to improve lessons, they need two hours per week of uninterrupted study. This must be a priority in school scheduling.\n\nGroups can be formed on the basis of shared interests, shared problems, common curriculum expectations, or other criteria that make sense for planning common lessons. The school's sixth-grade mathematics teachers might form a group to design several lessons on introducing ratio and proportion. Or interested teachers of grades seven and eight might form a group to plan a sequence of lessons on the democratic election process. All the groups should have explicit goals that are consistent with the mission of the school. Groups of three to five members are ideal. Schools might announce the study groups for the year, perhaps following a planning phase. Teachers might sign up for a group of their choice or might be asked to serve on a group by the principal or a teacher committee.\n\nDeciding on the goals for lesson-study groups is an important first step. Many factors might come into play during this planning stage, but one important factor always should be teachers' judgments of the problems that impede students' learning. The goal of lesson study is to improve students' learning, so it makes sense to begin by addressing those topics and issues that are most in need of improvement. The problems students face might be formidable, but they are not random. For example, most fourth-grade teachers would report problems in their students' understanding of fractions. When teachers within a district are working with a shared curriculum, they will find commonality in the problems they face for given topics and given grade levels. Identifying such problems is an ideal way to start the lesson-study process.\n\nOnce they have identified a common problem, the group needs to select a particular lesson in which that problem can be addressed. Usually this will be a lesson they have taught before but with which they are not satisfied. The group must then spend time in the beginning clarifying in detail what the learning goal for the lesson is and how they will know that they have achieved it. They also should try to understand how the goal of the lesson fits into district and state standards and assessment systems. Neither the problem nor the learning goal needs to be overly ambitious. The aim is to produce small but solid improvements in one or two lessons with modest goals. Japanese teachers, who have engaged in this process for many years, often redesign only two or three lessons over the year.\n\nOnce a lesson has been identified, the group can develop an overall work plan for the year. The plan for the year should allocate initial time for finding out more about how students learn the concepts in question, determining what others recommend for teaching these concepts effectively, and learning more about the concepts themselves. The balance of the plan should then include time for designing improved lessons, trying them out with students, collecting information regarding their success, revising the lessons accordingly, and repeating the cycle. The plan should also include time for the group to write a report of their work to be shared with colleagues.\n\nNotice that part of the annual activity is researching and discussing others' recommendations for effective teaching of particular topics. This activity can resolve a long-standing problem for American educational reform. As we noted earlier, simply distributing written documents compiled by researchers and curriculum developers has been notoriously unsuccessful for improving practice. It is not that the written documents are deficient; they might contain excellent ideas. The problem is that the American system makes no provision for teachers to digest these recommendations and translate them into practice. In our opinion, lesson study is an ideal process for gradually working through new recommendations and giving them life in the classroom.\n\n## Building an Infrastructure  \nfor Sharing Professional  \nKnowledge\n\nIf we implement lesson study, we will have started the process of continuous improvement. The next challenge is to move from improving teaching practice in individual classrooms and individual schools to improving teaching across the country. The key questions are: \"How do teachers, collectively, improve the common standard of teaching? How do they build a professional knowledge base for teaching?\" The answers lie in finding ways for teachers to share what they are learning in their individual study groups. Large-scale improvements, over time, in the quality of classroom instruction can result only if teachers can effectively communicate their discoveries to their colleagues, both present and future.\n\nFinding effective ways to share knowledge about teaching is not a simple task. Previous approaches to this problem, such as codifying principles about teaching in reports and policy documents, have led to disappointing results. As we found in the TIMSS video study, teachers rarely interpret such documents in the ways intended by the authors, and have difficulty adapting the ideas into the realities of classroom life. On the other hand, approaches that stress the sharing of specific tips and techniques often lead to superficial changes that are disconnected from students' learning. In the next section we argue that one of the lasting benefits of lesson study is that the knowledge that results from lesson study is uniquely sharable.\n\nTheories Linked with Examples\n\nAs was noted in the previous chapter, Japanese lesson-study groups have several ways of communicating the results of their work. The participating teachers teach some of their lessons publicly, inviting other teachers to watch. They also write case reports that describe the sequence of plans, outcomes, and revisions that their group has gone through. These case reports are then accumulated into larger books or stored in archives for easy access by other teachers.\n\nThe knowledge contained in these reports is quite different from what one finds in U.S. books about teaching. It is not made up of principles devoid of specific examples or examples without principles. It is theories linked with examples. This kind of knowledge is notable in several respects. First, theoretical insights are always linked with specific referents in the classroom. When a lesson-study group reports, for example, that one of its hypotheses has been supported, it is never outside the context of a specific lesson with specific goals, materials, students, and so on, all of which would be described in the report. At the same time, specific suggestions of how to teach are always justified by the teachers' theoretical analysis of what they have been investigating in their lesson-study group. This blend of theory and example gives other teachers the information they need to relate the group's work to their own classrooms and to think through what might be different in a different context.\n\nThe Japanese lesson-study groups' case reports also contain information about students' responses to the lessons the group has taught. We mention this not only because such information turns out to be quite powerful in the context of teacher planning activities but also because it highlights an interesting kind of research that has been well exploited by Japanese educators. It is worth noting that much of American educational psychology has focused on predicting individual responses to various materials and situations but has not had a great deal of success. The Japanese have taken a different approach: Although it is not easy to predict what any particular student will do in a given situation, it is quite easy to predict what a group of forty students will do. This is simply the result of the statistical principle of aggregation. Japanese teachers have ready access to information of the form \"When presented with problem A, 60 percent of students will use Strategy One, 20 percent Strategy Two, 15 percent Strategy Three, and 5 percent some other strategy.\"\n\nThe fact that lessons are the unit of study is also important for the value of the case reports. The lesson is a unit that has ecological validity for teachers. Lessons are the smallest unit that maintains the complex and systemic properties of teaching. Quality instruction cannot be described with a list of features: there is no feature (be it real-world problems, concrete representations, or any other) that is always beneficial. Which features are the right ones depends on the context, and the context is the lesson in which the features are embedded. Lessons also are linked directly with the curriculum that teachers are using to guide instruction. This linkage, more than anything else, makes the results of lesson study of immediate interest to other teachers using the same curriculum. It is why lesson study is so powerful in Japan, where there exist specific national goals for each course of study, and it is why we believe that if lesson study is to succeed in the United States, it will be implemented within school districts that have adopted a comprehensive and common curriculum.\n\nAccumulating Knowledge About Teaching\n\nThe kind of knowledge produced by lesson-study groups is quite different from that traditionally produced by education researchers. Traditional research results are first validated in studies, then communicated in research journals to educators, who must then figure out how they apply to the classroom. The kind of knowledge produced by lesson study is accumulated in a different way. Because lesson study is carried out in classrooms, the problem of applying the findings to classrooms disappears. The application is direct and obvious. But we cannot immediately know how generalizable lesson-study results are across different teachers, schools, and children.\n\nThe fact that lessons linked with curricula are sharable, however, gives us a means of assessing the generality of findings. A first test concerns the ease with which lessons can be shared when they are passed through the filter of language. If teachers can describe lessons to other teachers in sufficient detail so that the other teachers can actually use the lessons, we can be fairly certain that both groups understand the essential characteristics of the lesson. Lessons that work across diverse groups of teachers can be said to generalize simply because they can be replicated.\n\nThe Role of Technology\n\nThe process of accumulating knowledge about teaching will be greatly enhanced by technology. The most useful information that can be shared about teaching includes examples of classroom lessons linked to evolving theoretical understandings of teaching. Instead of describing these lesson examples with reports such as those that Japanese teachers write, imagine if we could store them in large digital libraries that could link together video, audio, images of student work, and commentary by researchers and others into a single integrated database.\n\nIt is now possible to store video examples and related data on video servers that can be accessed over the internet and thus be physically located anywhere in the world. Curriculum developers, for example, could establish large archives of lessons that are organized around the specific structures of their curricula. Teacher groups could work on perfecting lessons, then post the results of their study, including a complete video record, on these large servers. Other teacher groups could access these archives in order to inform their own efforts to improve teaching. They could study archived lessons and actually collaborate interactively over the internet with the teachers who produced the lessons. The resulting discussions could be directly linked with concrete video examples, and over time such discussions would lead to development of a shared language for describing teaching\u2014the way it is and the way it could be.\n\nWe want to emphasize that these distributed databases would not be just collections of lessons that teachers could download and use. In fact, many such libraries of model lessons are already being developed. What we are proposing is far more complex and far more powerful. The goal of studying these lessons would not be to copy them but, instead, to use them as examples from which new theories of teaching can be constructed. For, in our view, the professional teacher is not someone who simply copies what others have done but is, rather, one who reflects on and improves on what others have done, working to understand the basis of these improvements.\n\nBuilding a national infrastructure for accumulating and sharing knowledge about teaching is something that should be done by the federal government in collaboration with curriculum developers and textbook publishers. When a plane crashes, the investigation is not left to local authorities. The reason for this is clear: The public has too much at stake to not allow everyone to learn from every crash. When problems are discovered, they are widely shared, together with possible solutions, so as to prevent more disasters from happening. The same attention must be paid to knowledge about teaching. Students are too precious to be guinea pigs for teachers forced to learn by themselves on the job. Creating knowledge that can be used, and then sharing that knowledge with each new generation of teachers, should be a high priority of our national education authorities.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nIn a book on teaching, it might be surprising that we have not recommended a particular way to teach. Instead, we have proposed the establishment of a national research-and-development system for the improvement of classroom teaching. Improving teaching, as we have said, is a cultural change and thus must happen in small steps. In the same way, building the kind of system we have proposed requires that we change the ways that teachers learn, which is also a cultural activity. This, too, will change slowly and in small steps. But that is not a bad thing. The system we have proposed is both modular and scalable. It can happen one district at a time and can evolve over many years. The important thing is that the system we are proposing is one that we desperately need if we are to look back a hundred years from now and recognize a history of gradual progress in improving teaching.\n\nAlthough constructing this system will be difficult, it should cause some current problems with educational reform to diminish. Take, for example, the highly charged political battles that are now being fought in California and elsewhere about the kind of mathematics instruction our children should be exposed to in school. Our earlier analyses of how policy affects practice reveal that regardless of who wins these battles, there is a good chance that little of any substance will change inside classrooms. But more to the point, the system we are proposing leaves the question of how best to teach up to the system itself to resolve, over time, through careful experimentation and study. Public debate is the only way to decide on the goals that will guide our educational system. But once the goals are decided, the best way we can help improve our children's education is not to continue taking sides on these explosive issues but to fight to institute some mechanism for improvement.\n\nProgress will be slow. For the sake of the children we can hasten the start toward better teaching by taking the first step toward the process of continual improvement. But that quick step is only the beginning of a long journey.\n\n## CHAPTER 10\n\n## The True Profession  \nof Teaching\n\nTHE SYSTEM FOR improving teaching that we have just presented challenges school districts, school boards, superintendents, principals, and parents to undertake a new, long-term process of improvement, but it places primary responsibility for the process squarely on teachers. The success of the system depends on teachers' initiative, creativity, and professional commitment. Some would question whether teachers are up to the task, whether they can be handed the job of improving their own teaching. There is, in our society, a widespread lack of confidence in teachers. When students' achievement scores are below expectations, and when stories of students' failures fill the media, teachers often are blamed for the problems. More than that, they are ignored when we look for solutions. Rather than turning to teachers for leadership and guidance, we look to business executives, to political leaders, or to so-called educational experts for the answers. Given this lack of trust, it is no wonder that, as we noted in Chapter 1, the current reforms leave teaching almost completely out of the equation.\n\nThe lack of confidence in teachers is not limited to public and political communities. Even educators display a certain skepticism of teachers' inclination or ability to improve teaching. Over the years, curriculum developers often have tried to create \"teacher-proof\" curricula\u2014content that is to be presented to students in such a straightforward way that it could not be distorted by incompetent teachers. There is also a long-standing degree of distrust between administrators and teachers, illustrated by the fact that principals usually observe teachers only when it is time to evaluate them. Teachers, in turn, take a very suspicious view of being observed. This mistrust ruins one of teachers' richest learning opportunities\u2014the opportunity to observe the practice of others and be observed yourself.\n\n## A Popular Solution:  \nProfessionalize Teachers\n\nThe perception that teachers are not up to the task of improving teaching and solving the country's educational problems is often captured in one short phrase: \"Teachers are not professionals.\" To combat this attack, some defenders have launched a counteroffensive. Teachers, they say, are unfairly blamed for students' failures. It is not the teachers' fault that students perform poorly or learn less than we expect. Poverty, demographic changes, an erosion of traditional values, and a breakdown of supportive families are among the real causes, yet society unfairly targets teachers because teaching has not been granted the status of other professions, like medicine or law or business. Society thinks that anyone can be a teacher, that little expertise is required. Because teachers are not fully appreciated for what they do, they are vulnerable to public attacks. To solve this problem, say their defenders, society should demand that teachers be given higher status and be treated as real professionals.\n\nThere are many ideas about how to turn teachers into high-status professionals: increased pay, increased certification requirements, more accountability, career ladders, peer review, training teachers as researchers, and encouraging teachers themselves to set the standards for entrance into their profession. Not all of these stratagems are proposed by teachers' advocates, but they do have one thing in common: They presume that attributing to teachers the characteristics common to professionals in other fields will bring higher status and respect.\n\nWe believe, however, that attacking the problem simply by arbitrarily assigning professional characteristics to teachers mistakes the trappings for the profession. In fact, a profession is created not by certificates and censures but by the existence of a substantive body of professional knowledge, as well as a mechanism for improving it, and by the genuine desire of the profession's members to improve their practice.\n\n## Redefining the Problem\n\nIf the desire to improve is a key to build a true profession, then what is standing in the way? Some would say the answer is obvious\u2014teachers do not have this desire, or at least they have not shown it. After all, teachers have not changed the way they teach for almost a century. They continue teaching in traditional ways despite regular waves of educational reform. But before condemning teachers, consider what we have learned about teaching in the previous chapters. We can now see that most of our nation's problems with teaching arise from the script for teaching that has evolved in this country and from the absence of a mechanism for changing it.\n\nThe TIMSS videotapes show most American teachers teaching in much the same way\u2014true to the American script. Many factors\u2014students, parents, administrators, school structure, and more\u2014maintain this cultural script, keep it in place, and discourage teachers from questioning it. The perception that they are unable to improve is premature at best; it is wrongheaded and destructive at worst.\n\nSuppose teachers really do wish to improve how they teach. What can they do? Under normal circumstances, they can become better at using the teaching script they already have learned. But without some new ways of examining teaching, they are unlikely to identify alternatives that could improve students' learning even more. The environments in which most teachers work have been structured in ways that actually work against the kind of sustained collaboration that we have suggested is needed for significant and steady improvement. So instead of assuming that teachers do not want to improve, we take a different view. We believe that the real problem lies in the teaching, not the teachers, and in the absence of resources available to help teachers improve how they teach.\n\n## How Did We Get to This Point?\n\nWhy is it that we in the United States have for so long accepted a script for teaching that might be inadequate, and why is there no system for improvement? An interesting turn of events in the early 1900s provides some insights into the problem. John Dewey, noted educator and philosopher, had shaped the laboratory school at the University of Chicago into a hotbed of educational improvement. This one school became a microcosm of the system we outlined in Chapters 8 and 9. Teachers and researchers, through collaborative planning and experimenting, developed knowledge of effective classroom practice and fed this knowledge back into the system. The lines between teachers and researchers were blurred; all were engaged in learning about teaching and how to improve it in the context of real classrooms.\n\nBut then things changed. Dewey left Chicago, and Charles Judd, Dewey's replacement, proposed a new method of improvement, one designed to bring the prestige and rigor of science to education. Central to Judd's approach was a distinction between scientists or researchers, who develop the best ideas, and teachers, who apply them. Judd was not alone. Many experts, including researchers such as Edward Thorndike, were impressed with the advances in science and wished to make education more scientific. The way to do this, they said, was to divide the labor: Researchers would discover the best methods and teachers would implement them in classrooms.\n\nOver time, the views of Judd and others won the day. Research became a specially designated activity, distinct from teaching, and researchers became differentiated from classroom teachers. They even located themselves in different places\u2014researchers moved to universities, and teachers stayed in schools.\n\nThe same distinction between research and practice continues today, perhaps even more strongly. A large gulf separates researchers and classroom teachers. Researchers work on better ways to teach and then hope that their findings will be applied by classroom teachers. We have pointed out in earlier chapters that this process has had little effect on standard teaching practice.\n\nBecause of the high status usually assigned to acquiring knowledge and the low status assigned to applying it, this distinction strongly reinforces the low professional status of teachers. And this is a distinction created and sustained within the educational community!\n\nWhat is most damaging about the distinction, however, is that it prevents our country from implementing a system, sustained by teachers, for improving teaching. By hanging on to the research\/teaching distinction, the educational world has robbed teachers of the opportunity to participate in the development of new knowledge about teaching. The U.S. educational establishment has been unable to envision a system that gives teachers the freedom and the responsibility to acquire and apply the knowledge needed to improve teaching over the long run. What is tragic about this is that there are no real alternatives. Teachers must be at the heart of the solution. Not only are they the gatekeepers for all improvement efforts, they are also in the best position to acquire the knowledge that is needed. They are, after all, the only ones who can improve teaching. Proposals that do not recognize this basic truth cannot succeed.\n\nClearly, blaming teachers for not improving teaching is unfair. It is unfair because, in fact, teachers have been encouraged, simply by virtue of their membership in our culture, to teach the way they do. It is unfair because they have been provided no system in which they might spend time and energy studying and improving teaching. But solving these problems does not require high-pitched rhetoric and protestations by defenders of teachers, claiming for them higher professional status. In fact, solving the problem of improving teaching requires shifting the focus from teachers to teaching. Instead of worrying about professionalizing teachers, we must think about what is required to professionalize teaching.\n\n## A Lasting Solution:  \nProfessionalize Teaching\n\nAs we noted in Chapter 8, a common American view of the classroom says that good teaching is an individual trait. Change the teacher, and the quality of teaching changes. Some teachers are effective and some are not, so the way to improve teaching is to recruit better teachers. But this perspective ignores a central truth about teaching: If the method is limited, students' learning will be limited no matter how talented the teacher. Teachers are only as good as the methods of teaching they use.\n\nBecause of America's focus on teachers, we tend to look to individual innovators for signs of improvement. Because the usual methods of teaching are recognized as uninspiring, we look to individuals who have figured out clever ways around these standard methods. We shine spotlights on the unusual, the variations from standard practice. These heroic individual teachers stand out from the crowd and are applauded by reformers for innovation and creativity. They are given special awards. The standard, routine way of teaching is treated as just routine.\n\nCelebrating individual innovations is fine, but individual innovations will never improve teaching in the average classroom. They cannot do so because they do not change standard practice. And if we hope to improve the practice of the profession, it is the standard, common practice that must improve. Sporadic end runs around the standard methods are not the answer; what is required is a steady, continuing effort to gradually improve the standard ways in which we teach.\n\nIn true professions, standard practices hold the wisdom of the profession. It is when the standard practices of teaching are improved that a profession begins to emerge. Some might worry that trying to improve standard practice limits teachers' individual creativity and spontaneity. But listen, again, to Albert Shanker as he testified before the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities: \"Doctors don't try to figure out a new technique or procedure for every patient who comes into their office; they begin by using the standard techniques and procedures based on the experience of many doctors over the years. Nobody considers this a way of doctor-proofing medicine, although they do have a name for the failure to use standard practices\u2014it's malpractice. The standard practices that all doctors (and other professionals) use contain the wisdom of the profession.\"\n\nAmerica's script of teaching, the repository of its standard practices, has remained unexamined for too long. Teaching has not improved in this country because educators and parents have not provided a way for teachers to improve the script they use. It is time to begin building a research-and-development system like the one outlined in Chapters 8 and 9 to enable teachers to study teaching and to begin the long, steady process of improving the standard practice of the profession.\n\nPerhaps it is ironic that professional status for teachers will come only when the focus shifts away from teachers and onto teaching. But that is what is required. When teachers have a way to act on their desire to improve, when they can point to increases in students' learning over time, and when they can disseminate into standard practice the improvements in teaching that are responsible, teaching will be on its way to becoming a true profession. And when teaching becomes a profession, teachers will inherit the professional badges that come from being members.\n\n## A Story from the Past\n\nOur belief that teaching can become a true profession in the United States is bolstered by the fact that it has, at times, been a profession. No, not across the entire country and not for all time, but in some places and for brief periods. When teachers have seized unusual opportunities and taken on the task of improving teaching in their school or district, remarkable things have happened. A compelling and instructive example is related by William Johnson. At the turn of the century, the Baltimore city schools were in trouble. Physical conditions were deplorable, and the instructional methods used by many teachers were unenlightened, to say the least. Joseph Mayer Rice, an informed observer of America's schools, published a series of articles in 1892 that focused on the conditions of schools in America's cities. The first article was titled \"Evils in Baltimore.\"\n\nBut a group of Baltimore teachers, interested in improving classroom practices, convinced the Baltimore city public schools teachers' association to lobby the city school commissioners for time to meet and work together to improve teaching and learning in their classrooms. They wanted one afternoon each month to meet with other teachers. Teachers around the city who taught the same grade met to discuss methods of teaching that would facilitate improved student learning. Discussions centered on common problems of classroom practice. Wishing to share their insights and progress more widely, the city teachers began publishing a regular newsletter. The Expert Pedagogue, which was filled with suggestions for improved teaching.\n\nAfter several years of teacher meetings and newsletter publication, the district made an administrative decision that was to have a fatal impact on the burgeoning profession of teaching in Baltimore. In 1900, a new superintendent was hired. Eager to bring new, progressive ideas into the district, the superintendent reorganized the form of in-service education. The monthly meetings of teachers were replaced with presentations by educational experts. The presentations, given weekly and after hours, were mostly demonstrations of model lessons developed by the \"experts.\" Having no forum for continuing collaboration, the teachers' newsletter soon disappeared; arising in its place was the Maryland Educational Journal, produced by experts to promote progressive practices. Teachers were back in their role of trying to implement the recommendations of others. Business had returned to normal. William Johnson summarized this story by noting the irony: Teachers in Baltimore had begun the long journey to improve classroom practice and to professionalize teaching. The new superintendent entered with the same goals, but, not recognizing the central role that teachers must play in this process, he squelched the very movement he was trying to build. For a brief moment, however, teaching in the Baltimore schools had been on its way to becoming a true profession.\n\nThis story of what happened in Baltimore, along with the stories of what is happening now in a number of schools and districts scattered around the country, shows that building a profession of teaching in the United States is not an impossible dream. But it will take commitment\u2014and a vision.\n\n## A Vision of the Future\n\nThe star teachers of the twentieth century have been those who broke away from the crowd and created different and unusual methods of teaching. They distinguished themselves by being different, by leaving the standard practice behind. They gained fame by rising above the routine and showing the effectiveness of alternative forms of teaching. Although these efforts won the applause of educational critics, they did not have much effect on standard practice.\n\nThe star teachers of the twenty-first century will be those who work together to infuse the best ideas into standard practice. They will be teachers who collaborate to build a system that has the goal of improving students' learning in the \"average\" classroom, who work to gradually improve standard classroom practices. In a true profession, the wisdom of the profession's members finds its way into the most common methods. The best that we know becomes the standard way of doing something. The star teachers of the twenty-first century will be teachers who work every day to improve teaching\u2014not only their own but that of the whole profession.\n\n## Notes\n\nPREFACE\n\n  1.

On October 27, 1998, President Clinton signed into law the Labor, Health, and Human Services bill, which provided $1.2 billion to help local school districts hire and pay the salaries and benefits of more than 30,000 additional teachers. The funds are a down payment on the president's plan to hire 100,000 new teachers over seven years to reduce class size in grades one to three to a national average of eighteen.

Readers interested in more detailed descriptions of the full TIMSS study should consult http:\/\/nces.ed.gove\/timsspublist.html .\n  2. A full description of the methods used in conducting the video study is beyond the scope of this book. Interested readers should consult Stigler, J.

Washington, D.C.: National Center for Education Statistics (www.ed.gov\/NCES).\n  3. The original intent was to videotape one hundred classrooms in each country. The no-substitution rule eliminated nineteen classrooms in the United States, and the Japanese collaborators decided that fifty classrooms would be sufficient in their country because of its relatively small size and homogeneity.\n\nCHAPTER 3: IMAGES OF TEACHING\n\n  1. All names, in this lesson and all the others reported in this chapter, are fictional; however, the correct gender is retained.\n\nCHAPTER 4: REFINING THE IMAGES\n\n  1. Schmidt, W. H.; McKnight, C.

(1993). Japanese and American students' differential recognition memory for teachers' statements during a mathematics lesson. Journal of Educational Psychology 85, 610-17].\n  5. This conclusion matches precisely the one arrived at by looking directly at the curricula commonly used in each country [Schmidt, W. H.; McKnight, C. C.; and Raizen, S. A. (1996). A splintered vision: An investigation of U.S. science and mathematics education. Boston: Kluwer Academic Publishers].\n  6.

To understand is to invent. New York: Grossman; Resnick, L. B. (1980). The role of invention in the development of mathematical competence. In R. H. Kluwe and H.

Making sense: Teaching and learning mathematics with understanding. Portsmouth, N.H.: Heinemann.\n\nCHAPTER 5: TEACHING IS A SYSTEM\n\n  1. Teachers in 57 percent of U.S. lessons used the overhead projector, in 67 percent, the chalkboard. In Japan, the percentages were 6 and 100, respectively. See Stigler, J. W; Gonzales, P.; Kawanaka, T.; Knoll, S.; and Serrano, A. (1999).

Washington, D.C.: National Center for Education Statistics (www.ed.gov\/NCES).\n  2. Japanese teachers also used something we called \"posters\": prepared statements of solution methods or principles that they attached to the chalkboard at critical points during the lesson to label students' work (which they apparently anticipated) or to summarize major ideas. Posters are fully consistent with a system in which visual aids provide records of instructional tasks, solution methods, and major ideas.\n  3. See, for example, Cuban, L. (1993).

Teachers' beliefs and conceptions: A synthesis of research. In D. A. Grouws (ed.), Handbook of research on mathematics teaching and learning. New York: Macmillan. Pp. 127-46.\n  3. There is a strong American tradition in behaviorist psychology, a psychology that addresses most directly issues of skill learning. Behaviorism, or connectionism, was developed most fully by E. L. Thorndike in the early 1900s and elaborated in different ways by B. F. Skinner and R. M. Gagne.\n  4. The psychology of learning that underlies this approach is familiar in the United States but is not the psychology that has taken hold in everyday teaching in the United States. See, for example, the writings of J. Dewey and J. Piaget and numerous recent works that have elaborated these ideas.\n  5.

One item on the questionnaire given to U.S. eighth-grade mathematics teachers in the TIMSS sample asked them to select, among sixteen choices, those that limited their effectiveness in the classroom.

A common reform approach in the United States is to try to reform mathematics instruction by adding more features, such as concrete materials or problem solving. Many experts think that the indicators provide the road map we need to improve. See, for example, Stedman. L. C. (1997). International achievement differences: An assessment of a new perspective. Educational Researcher 26 (3), 4-15. After reviewing a few teaching indicators from an earlier international study, Stedman concludes: \"These descriptions of our pedagogical weaknesses are compelling and provide clear directions for reforming our teaching and curricula\" (p. 11 ).\n  10.

Fewer high schools appear to engage in formalized kounaikenshuu: teacher development tends to be more idiosyncratic and to vary more from school to school.

U.S. teachers say that one of the biggest constraints on improving practice is the lack of professional time outside of their classrooms. Indeed. U.S. teachers have less scheduled time to meet and plan for instruction than their foreign colleagues. Increasing the time for this purpose is seen by some federal policymakers as one of the primary implications of these cross-cultural data [Trying to beat the clock: Uses of professional time in three countries.

Restructuring in the classroom: Teaching, learning, and school organization (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass), R. Elmore, P. Peterson, and S. McCarthey report that some reform-minded schools used teachers' time in a way that improved classroom practice and other schools did not. Other studies also have shown that what teachers do with their professional development time makes a big difference [see, for example. Cohen, D. K., and Hill, H. C. (1998). Instructional policy and classroom performance: The mathematics reform in California. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan; and Griffin. G. A. (1995). Influences of shared decision making on school and classroom activity: Conversations with five teachers. Elementary School Journal 96, 29-45].\n  2. The phrase \"steady work\" was used by R. Elmore and M. McLaughlin in their 1988 book, Steady work: Policy, practice, and the reform of American education. We have in mind much the same meaning as they did\u2014improving education is a long-term venture that requires continuing small improvements.\n  3. Brown, C. A.; Smith, M. S.; and Stein, M. K.

There are countermovements that try to renegotiate the roles between teacher and researcher, such as the contemporary notion in the research community of \"teacher-as-researcher.\" But none of the countermovements have altered fundamentally the traditional division of labor on a wide scale.\n  11.
