Ernest Thayer's "Casey at the Bat"
Ernest Thayer's Casey at the Bat was first published in the San Francisco Daily Examiner on June 3, 1888. Its popularity owed much to the universality of its subject; every city seemed to have a Casey on its team. Thayer, a Harvard graduate, said little about the real Casey, though he did leave a few clues. The verses owe their existence, he wrote in 1930, to my enthusiasm for college baseball...and to my association with Will Hearst. Thayer's background is examined here as the basis for determining the origins of the colorfast cast of characters behind his Ballad of the Republic--men who may have been Casey, Flynn, Cooney and other members of the Mudville Nine.

The Tortured Life of Scofield Thayer
The influential literary magazine The Dial is regarded as a titanic artistic and aesthetic achievement for having published most of the great modernist writers, artists, and critics of its day. As publisher and editor of The Dial from 1920 to 1926, Scofield Thayer was gatekeeper and guide for the movement, introducing the ideas of literary modernism to America and giving American artists a new audience in Europe. In The Tortured Life of Scofield Thayer, James Dempsey looks beyond the public figure best known for publishing the work of William Butler Yeats, T. S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, E.E. Cummings, and Marianne Moore to reveal a paradoxical man fraught with indecisions and insatiab...
