Banning Branches
The Banning family is said to have come from Denmark, Holland, England and Ireland. The first Banning in America was Edward Banning, who settled in Talbot Co., Maryland prior to 1678. He is said to have come from England. He had three sons, James, who settled in Maryland and John and Samuel, who settled in Lyme, Connecticut abt. 1700. Fourty years later Benoni Banning came from Dublin, Ireland and settled in Talbot Co., Md. The Bannings of Delaware came from those in Maryland. Most descendants of James Banning of Maryland live in Ohio, Indiana, Delaware, Maryland and elsewhere. Members of the New York branch of Bannings migrated to Canada and the central and western United States.
Mann: Doctor Faustus
In Doctor Faustus, his last major novel, Thomas Mann attempted to interpret and judge Germany's role in European culture and history since the Reformation. Through the figures of the solitary avant-garde composer, Adrian Leverkühn, and his often bemused biographer Serenus Zeitblom, Mann explores Germany's self-understanding and self-assertion. The novel intermingles fiction and history in a narrative that combines complex psychological analysis, virtuoso stylistic parody and vivid evocation of atmosphere and milieu. Michael Beddow analyses the structure of the plot and explores the significance of its chief historical, theological, psychological and musical themes. He considers Mann's understanding and modification of the Faust tradition, his thematic and formal indebtedness to Nietzsche and his interest in Adorno's neo-Marxism. The study concludes with an account of the work's generally hostile reception in defeated Germany.
