Topic: Mel Bradford


  
  Jim Bradford @ Collins & Hastie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Among the artists who have been the beneficiaries of that skilful and dedicated attention have been Francis Bacon, Graham Sutherland and Ceri Richards, and, as an adept, Bradford himself benefited from the inevitable intimacy with their painting, and that of the greatest School of Paris artists, that was a constant aspect of his professional work.
This imaginative empathy is not confined to the visual, for Bradford is enthralled by - in thrall to - the jazz music of Black America, especially to that of the great 1940's generation of Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Coleman Hawkins, Thelonious Monk and Charlie Rouse.
What is original to his work, and intensely personal, is the paradoxical manner of their employment and combination: they combine a kind of turbulence, expressed in the quick agitation of surface stroke and descriptive arabesque, with an essentially decorative composition that unifies the entire surface of the canvas, top to bottom, side to side.

 SEVENTH GENERATION
Mel Bradford although a professor of English literature, he was perhaps the best defender of the Constitution of the Framers that this Century has yet to have known.
Bradford insists that there were several intentions to be found in the Framers, representing the various and different political and social experiences of the various American colonies and not a single unifying intention as is argued by some students of the Constitution.
Mel saw himself as generally a student of rhetoric, in the classical understading of that term; and as a student of rhetoric, he tended in his understanding of great literature, to argue that we must understand the literary works within the specific cultural-political frame that the story is set within.

 Mel Bradford, Old Indian Fighters, and the NEH by Thomas H. Landess
Mel Bradford died ten years ago, and those of us who knew him best are finally reconciled to his death.
Mel and I were colleagues at the University of Dallas.
Bradford attempted to placate him by explaining that the poem was not about homosexuals, but about literal fairies, the kind that fly around on gossamer wings and do good deeds, e.g., the tooth fairy.

 Paleoconservative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The southern conservative thread of paleoconservatism embodying the statesmanship of nineteenth-century figures such as John Randolph of Roanoke, John Taylor of Caroline and John C. Calhoun has influenced many modern paleoconservatives, and found a modern expositor in Mel Bradford.
Paleoconservatives esteem the principles of subsidiarity and localism in recognizing that one must surely be an Ohioan, Texan or Virginian as they are an American.
The preferred candidate was professor Mel Bradford and he was replaced after an effective media and lobbying effort (focusing on his dislike of Abraham Lincoln) by William Bennett.

 The Claremont Institute: Defending the Cause of Human Freedom
Mel and I debated the character of Abraham Lincoln, and the issues of the Civil War generally.
Since Bradford was tireless in abusing Lincoln for clothing his language in biblical phrases, it is noteworthy that the cornerstone speech is built upon a theme from Psalms 118:22.
Bradford and McClellan (following Willmoore Kendall) are obsessed with the utterly false notion that Lincoln was somehow responsible for the permissive egalitarianism of the contemporary welfare state.

 Original Intentions: On the Making and Ratification of the United States Constitution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Bradford possessed a keen logical mind, and his method avoids a fallacy into which lesser writers often fall.
Though Bradford opposed fitting history to a Procrustean bed of philosophy, he was himself a philosophical intelligence of considerable stature; and his protests against improper philosophizing have themselves a deeper end in view.
Instead, Bradford directed the full force of his scholarship and personality toward the promotion of a nomocratic order—a system that operates by fixed rules of procedure, never to be set aside.

 Mel Bradford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Mel knew he was dramatic, that he had a profile, and that he could be spotted a mile away.
One day as he was happily and deftly extricating letters from envelopes and separating their contents into piles, Mel waved a check in the air and trumpeted, "Oh, Michael, its those little royalty checks that are so nice." "Do they go straight into the cheese fund," I quipped.
So cocking me one of his whites­of­the­eye glances, he said, "Michael, Marie tells me that she does not wish to be a young widow, and I wish to please her." Today's world is filled with Olympic dreamers, health faddists, to say nothing of nutritional bores, and health police.

 Amazon.com: Books: Founding Fathers: Brief Lives of the Framers of the United States Constitution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Delving into the political and philosophical principles of the founders, Bradford illuminates their motives, thoughts, and actions and illustrates how their political decision-making was influenced by religion, education, environment, economic circumstances, and personal background.
Mel Bradford actually undertook for himself a pretty mammoth task: not only to tell who the Framers were, where they came from and what they did, but more importantly to analyze what they individually believed and what they were trying to achieve in Philadelphia that fateful summer.
Bradford did little more than sketch backgrounds on the founders; it just happens that Madison studied at seminary, Hamilton founded the short-lived Christian Constitutional Society, William Few was a devout Methodist, etc. That a few founders were deists, Jefferson foremost, possibly Franklin does not make the founders all secularists.

 The Dreaded 'S' Word by Thomas DiLorenzo
The neocon cult began in the early 1980s by smearing the late Mel Bradford after President Reagan appointed him to head the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Since their targets, like Professors Bradford and Woods, are decent, honorable, educated and intelligent people, the neocons simply lie about them (and their writings), and then wage a very well-organized repetition of the lies in their various publishing vehicles and web sites.
More recently, they are attempting to paint Professor Woods as a friend of the KKK because of his association, shortly after graduating from Harvard, with an organization called The League of the South.

 This is Bradford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Over the course of 336 pages, Melanie sallies forth with her trademark opinionated viewpoints on just about anything imaginable.  She doesn’t pull any punches when talking about family, old boyfriends, her fellow Spice Girls and the people she meets in the music business.
The story follows Mel’s childhood in Leeds, where as a mixed-race child she came in for a lot of racist flak from other kids.  But the strength of her spirit shows through as she shrugs off the taunts and uses her happy home life and dancing to focus on her ambitions.
Melanie is also remarkably candid about her ill-fated relationship with dancer Jimmy Gulzar, the father of her daughter, and her subsequent romance with actor Max Beesley.

It is a "legend" that Irving Kristol "persuaded President-elect Reagan not to nominate the historian M.E. Bradford to the chairmanship of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The neoconservatives were not responsible for undermining Bradford's position because someone who is not one of their number had greater responsibility.
According to Mel Bradford, whose knowledge of the circumstances surrounding his nomination is perhaps comparable to Frum's, Kristol did play a major role in the affair.

It would be a mistake, however, to think of Bradford as an academic specialist in things Southern or as a Southern ideologue crediting the South with impossible virtues at the expense of its real ones.
In fact, behind Bradford's scholarship on the South was the question, 'What does it mean to be an American?'...
Bradford's critique of Lincoln [portrayed] a gnostic figure of the Enlightenment who, by his consolidation of power, derailed the Founders' federal commonwealth and set in motion a unitary state dedicated to an open-ended and antinomic egalitarianism.

I mention Mel Bradford because he was a rather famous but late student of the Nashville Agrarians, especially Donald Davidson, and one of the last successors of that important cultural movement in politics and letters in America.
He was a one of the leading Faulkner scholars (Cleanth Brooks used elements of Bradford's unpublished dissertation for his well known work on role the setting of Yaknapatawpha county and its community plays in interpreting Faulkner's literary works) as well as a student of rhetoric.
Bradford before his death played an important role in American conservativism, especially in the attempt to recover a specific Southern conservativism.

It was a classic Kristol operation that utilized the services of people like George Will, but the plot blew up in the Godfather’s face when most decent conservatives refused to have anything to do with him in the future.
