## Life

### Early years (1862–83)

Zéphirin-Alexandre-Antoine Schwerer was born in Lorient, Morbihan, on 9 February 1862. His father was Antoine Barthélemy Schvérer, a Major general of the navy (*Major général de la Marine*). He entered the École Navale in October 1878. He graduated from the 2nd class on 1 August 1880 and from the 1st class on 5 October 1881. He was assigned to the *Resolue*, then made a voyage to the Antilles on the *Flore*. He was assigned to the *Marengo* and then to the *Trident*. In March 1883 he was on the *Clorinde*, stationed at Newfoundland.

### Ensign and lieutenant (1883–1902)

Schwerer was promoted to ensign (*enseigne de vaisseau*) on 5 October 1883 in the port of Lorient, and was assigned to the corvette *Eumenide*. During the Sino-French War, in late 1884 he participated in the blockade of Formosa. On 1 January 1885 he was posted to the cruiser *Rigault-de-Genouilly* in the Far East Squadron. On 1 January 1886 Schwerer's ship was transferred to the Levant Naval Division. He was posted to the *Albatros* in January 1887, then was admitted to the Corps des Elèves Officiers aux Fusiliers Marins in Lorient.

Schwerer was promoted to Lieutenant (*Lieutenant de vaisseau*) on 23 June 1888. In March 1889 he was assigned to the Paris Observatory at the Parc Montsouris under Vice-Admiral Mouchez. In 1890 he was assigned to the *Lapérouse* on the Newfoundland station, and in 1891 transferred to *La Clochetterie* on the same station. In April 1892 he was on the coastguard *Fulminant*. He taught navigation on the *Iphigenie* in August 1892 and again on 1 January 1894 under Jules Lefevre. He was made a knight of the Legion of Honour on 12 July 1893.

In July 1895, during a voyage that researched terrestrial magnetism on the *Dubourdieu*, Schwerer wrote his *Instructions théoriques et pratiques sur l’horizon gyroscopique*. He was assigned to the Atlantic naval division under Jean Valat. In June 1896 on the *Drôme* he was in charge of preliminary soundings for laying a transatlantic cable between Boston and Brest. In February 1897 he was appointed to the command of the *Ardent*, stationed on the West Africa coast. In January 1898 he was appointed commander of the *Caravan* transport on the Newfoundland and Iceland station. On 16 October 1899 he was appointed Aide de Camp at the headquarters of the Maritime Prefect of the 3rd district in Lorient, and on 9 April 1900 was appointed Aide de Camp of the Maritime Prefect (Vice-Admiral Beaumont) of the 5th district in Toulon.

### Commander and Captain (1902–1914)

Schwerer was promoted to Commander (*Capitaine de frégate*) on 1 April 1902. On 1 January 1903 he was second in command on the ironclad *Marceau* in trials at Toulon, under Octave Le Clerc. In July 1903 on the *Masséna* he was aide de camp to Admiral Léonce Albert Caillard, commander of the North Squadron. He published an article in the *Revue Maritime et Coloniale* defending the role of the battleship. On 10 October 1906 he was given command of the *Cassini* for a mission to the Baltic and the Scandinavian countries. On 7 June 1907 he was appointed to the Technical Committee of the navy. On 5 October 1908 he was assigned to teach naval tactics at the École supérieure de guerre navale, then became a lecturer at the École Supérieure de la Marine in Paris, where he gave a course on foreign navies.

Schwerer was promoted to Captain (*Capitaine de vaisseau*) on 9 April 1909. On 1 January 1911 he was given command of the battleship *Justice*, the flag carrier of Rear Admiral Jean Gaschard, commander of a division of the 1st squadron. He was a member of the commission of inquiry appointed by Paul Painlevé, president of the navy committee, after the explosions of the battleships *Iéna* on 12 March 1907 and *Liberté* on 25 September 1911. He wrote a "Report on Naval Powders" (1912). On 1 January 1912 he was assigned to the port of Lorient. In March 1912 he commanded the gunnery training school on the cruiser *Pothuau*. His son Antoine Charles joined the navy in 1913.

### High command (1914–24)

Schwerer was made Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy on 20 May 1914 under Rear Admiral Louis-Joseph Pivet. After the outbreak of World War I (1914–18), on 6 August 1914 Schwerer and Prince Louis of Battenberg signed a convention in London on the division of responsibilities between the two navies. The convention confirmed the terms of the Entente Cordiale, and placed France in command of all naval operations in the Mediterranean. Malta and Gibraltar would both be treated as French naval bases. In the event that Austria entered the war France would act against its naval forces, and would at minimum prevent them passing the Strait of Otranto.

On 4 May 1915 Schwerer was given command of the flotilla of fluvial gunboats, then on 28 May 1915 he was given command of the batteries of fluvial gunboats. He was cited by the army for his role in Belgium and Champagne. On 4 November 1915 he was appointed Chief of Staff to Admiral Marie-Jean-Lucien Lacaze, Minister of the Navy. He was promoted to Commodore (*Contre-Amiral*) on 5 November 1915. On 4 June 1917 he was given command of the ocean and channel patrols, with the duties of protecting convoys and fighting submarines. He made the aviso *Somme* his flagship. He was promoted to Rear admiral (*Vice-Amiral*) in June 1918.

In July 1919 Schwerer was a member of the Supreme Council of the Navy and Inspector General of Military Personnel of the Fleet. In July 1921 he was appointed Maritime Prefect at Brest. In July 1922 he was appointed Commander in Chief of the Atlantic frontier at Lorient. He left active service in February 1924.

### Last years (1924–1936)

In his memoirs, published in 1933, Schwerer states that he rejected the French Third Republic in favour of royalism at an early age. After his retirement in 1924 Schwerer devoted himself to the royalist League of the Action francaise, becoming one of the movement's most active leaders. He became president of the League in 1930, succeeding Bernard de Vésins in difficult circumstances. He was a talented orator. At the December 1931 congress, "greeted by loud acclamation", he gave a full presentation of "the general situation of France", external, financial, economic, interior and religious. He concluded with a passionate statement,

> ... the situation is very dark. It would be almost desperate if there were not a cell that is not huge, but that is alive and is the only one able to animate the amorphous environment that surrounds it. This cell is the Action française. Every day more people understand it. There will always be imbeciles in France, men of bad faith, madmen and criminals; but there are in our midst many excellent elements now deceived and blinded. Our task is to enlighten them and then to train them to the assault. It requires a huge effort pursued with perseverance. The job is tough. We will not do it by sitting in a good armchair, in flowery salons, lavishing sweet smiles and honeyed words, fighting in white gloves with dainty foils. We must be ready for hard sacrifices. Are you all ready? You want the restoration of the Monarchy. Have you all done what is necessary to achieve this?

Antoine Schwerer was forced by illness to retire to Brittany in 1935. He was succeeded as head of the League by François de Lassus. He died in Grand-Fougeray, Ille-et-Vilaine, on 3 November 1936.

## Decorations

Schwerer was an Officer of the Royal Order of Cambodia, Officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy and Officer of the Order of Saint Anna (Russia). He was decorated by Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō with the Order of the Rising Sun. He was a Knight of the Spanish Naval Order of Merit and a Commander of the Order of St. Olav (Denmark). On 9 July 1907 he was made an Officer of the Legion of Honour. In March 1909 he was made a Knight of the Order of the Sacred Treasure (Japan). On 10 July 1917 he was made a Commander of the Legion of Honour. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre in December 1918 and the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour on 10 July 1920.

title: Antonius Johannes Jurgens

abstract:
Antonius Johannes Jurgens, also known as Anton Jurgens was a Dutch businessman. He was born in Oss, the grandson of Joanna Lemmens and of Antoon Jurgens, who founded a butter company in 1867 and, in 1871, the first margarine factory in the world. The Jurgens family had moved from the neighborhood of Heerlen, in the south of the Netherlands and close to the German border, to Oss, where the family company was founded; they were known as the moffen, a derogatory term for Germans. Anton Jurgens became the pater familias of the company, which would retain its family structure until the fusion with Van den Bergh in 1927. Jurgens succeeded his father in business at the age of 21, and was one of the main European margarine and soap manufacturers in the early twentieth century with Pieter-Eduard Leverd.
In the late nineteenth century he also started margarine factories in Germany and Belgium.
Although initially in fierce competition with another manufacturer from Oss, Samuel van den Bergh, in 1927 he joined him to form the Margarine Unie, which in 1930 merged with William Lever, 2nd Viscount Leverhulme of Lever Brothers to form Unilever. His whaling monopoly also led Jurgens to be called the "prince of whales". From 1919 to 1921, he also served in the Senate as a member of the Roman Catholic State Party; he was forced to give up his seat because of the demands of his business. He died in 1945 Torquay, in England, and was buried there and later reinterred in Poissy, in France, beside his wife and his son Henri, who had died in an accident in 1933. Former politician Erik Jurgens is a family member.

## Biography

### Early career (1921–1965)

In 1921, Emir Rodríguez Monegal was born on 28 July in Melo, Cerro Largo, Uruguay. He had the double-barrelled name Rodríguez Monegal (erroneously "Rodríguez-Monegal" in some texts) but was often referred to as R. Monegal or Monegal only, a Spanish naming custom when the first surname is extremely common.

From 1945 to 1957 (age 24 to 36), he edited the literary section of the Montevideo weekly Marcha. He was one of the first to recognize early on the importance of Borges, seeing him and his family frequently after 1945, and taking him for model to the point of pastiche. Conversely, he got a cameo in a pseudo-autobiographical Borges short story:

> The second episode took place in Montevideo, months later. Don Pedro's fever and his agony gave me the idea for a tale of fantasy based on the defeat at Masoller; Emir Rodriguez Monegal, to whom I had told the plot, wrote me an introduction to Colonel Dionisio Tabares, who had fought in that campaign.
>
> Jorge Luis Borges, from "The Other Death" (published in *La Nación*, 1949, collected in *The Aleph*, 1949)

In 1949 (age 28), he won a scholarship from the British Council for a year's study at the University of Cambridge; he went to study under F. R. Leavis and complete a project on Andrés Bello. During 1949 to 1955 (age 28 to 34), he was also editor of *Número*, a Montevideo literary magazine. In 1952, he became friend with Pablo Neruda, who would later lend him his intimate papers for Monegal's biography of Neruda.

In 1956 (age 35), Monegal obtained the equivalent of a PhD at the Facultad de Humanidades (Faculty of Letters), Montevideo, for his research on *"Andrés Bello y el Romanticismo hispanoamericano"*.

### *Mundo Nuevo* (1966–1968)

In 1966 (age 45), Monegal directed the literary monthly *Mundo Nuevo,* published in Spanish in Paris. Monegal directed it until July 1968, after the *New York Times* uncovered CIA connections with the Congress for Cultural Freedom, the Cold War mega-organization under which auspicies *Mundo Nuevo* was born. Mundo Nuevo contributed to the 1960s publishing phenomenon dubbed "The Boom" in Latin American literature that led to many Latin American writers being published outside of their home countries and gaining critical recognition.

### Yale University (1969–1985)

In 1969 (age 48), Monegal was appointed professor of Latin American contemporary literature at Yale University. From 1970 to 1973 (age 49 to 52), he was chairman of the Latin American Studies program and associate chairman of the Department of Romance Languages. From 1973 to 1976 (age 49 to 55), he was chairman of the Spanish and Portuguese Department.

From 1969 to 1977 (age 48 to 56), he was a member of the editorial board of *Revista Iberoamericana* (University of Pittsburgh) and from 1972 to 1977 (age 51 to 56) he was consulting editor of *Review*, a tri-quarterly published by the Center for Inter-American Relations in New York.

Also, from 1975 to 1982 (age 54 to 61), he was a visiting lecturer in seven universities in Brazil, and a visiting professor at the University of Southern California and the University of Pittsburgh.

In 1985 (aged 64), Monegal died on Thursday 14 November at Yale's infirmary in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. He was survived by his wife: Selma Calasans Rodrigues de Rodríguez; and three children: Georgina Rodríguez Nebot, Joaquín Rodríguez Nebot, and Alejandro Rodríguez Gerona.

### Legacy

* His 1966 biography of his friend Pablo Neruda, who accepted to lend him his personal papers, remains a key book on the topic. Similarly, his 1970 study and 1978 biography of his friend Borges remain key books.
* In June 1985, Monegal published an article exploring the "kinship" between Derrida's themes in "Plato's Pharmacy" and the work of Borges, from essays and tales Derrida had read such as "Pierre Menard" (1939) and "Tlön" (1940). He wrote that "I had experienced \[deconstruction\] in Borges *avant la lettre*, though also writing that "the intent here is not to produce another exercise of the 'Borges, presursor of Derrida' variety."

# Fanny Grattan Guinness

**Fanny Grattan Guinness** born **Fanny Emma Fitzgerald** writing as **Mrs. H. Grattan Guinness** (1831 – 3 November 1898) was a British writer, evangelist and trainer of missionaries.

## Life

Guinness was born in 1831 in London. She became an orphan after her mother died and her father took his own life. She was taken in by the family's solicitor who in time also took his own life. She set out to teach.

She married Henry Grattan Guinness in October 1860. They had a son named Harry, who was born October 2, 1861, in Toronto, Canada.

Henry was her partner in the missionary work and she was not only responsible for the administration, but she would also preach to audiences of men and women.

In 1868 Guinness and his wife published *The Regions Beyond and Illustrated Missionary News*, which was edited by Mrs. H. Grattan Guinness. The magazine would give accounts of missions and missionaries including those in Africa and China.

In 1872 Henry, Fanny and their six children were living in the East End of London. They started the East London Missionary Training Institute.

## Legacy

Her daughter, and later author, Mary Geraldine Guinness married Frederick Howard Taylor. She was one of seven children who entered Christian ministry. Dr. Gershom Whitfield Guinness was a medical missionary to China who escaped the Boxer Rebellion and went on to found the first hospital in Henan south of the Yellow River. Her daughter Lucy wrote *Across India at the Dawn of the 20th Century*, about her hopes of converting the heathen natives to Christianity.

***Argybargy*** is the third studio album by the English new wave band Squeeze. Written and recorded after the band's successful sophomore release, *Cool for Cats*, the album's lyrics were written by Chris Difford while living with his wife in New York City. The band reunited with *Cool for Cats* producer John Wood and, after Glenn Tilbrook composed music for Difford's new lyrics, recorded the album in late 1979.

*Argybargy* was a commercial and critical success, reaching number 32 in the UK and becoming the first Squeeze album to chart in the US. The album has since been recognized as a classic of new wave and features multiple of the band's most famous songs, including "Another Nail in My Heart," "Pulling Mussels (from the Shell)," and "If I Didn't Love You."

## Background

Following the commercial success of the band's previous album, *Cool for Cats*, as well as a successful international tour, Squeeze reached its highest level of success to that point. This level of fame and recognition began to take its toll; Glenn Tilbrook worried of becoming "too big for \[his\] boots" and struggled with being recognized in public. He recalled,

> "I was standing in \[a pub\] in Blackheath with my mates when I became conscious of the fact that a lot of people were looking at me. ... I had to get out. I'd never experienced anything like it before and it was a horrible feeling. As much as I wanted to be successful and famous, I wasn't as comfortable with fame as I'd thought."

Following the *Cool for Cats* tour, Chris Difford married and spent the summer of 1979 in the US with his wife. There he wrote over 40 new lyrics, inspired by his new marriage and his time spent in Greenwich Village. He recalled, "I would sit in the flat all day while \[wife\] Cindy went to work and this fluidity of lyricism came gushing forth. The whole of the *Argybargy* album came in one fell swoop and lots more besides that never saw the light of day."

## Recording

When asked by A&M Records to produce a third album, the band brought back *Cool for Cats* producer John Wood and Tilbrook composed music for the best of Difford's new lyrics. The album was recorded during the tail end of 1979.

*Argybargy* would be the last Squeeze album featuring founding member Jools Holland until Squeeze's first reunion album, 1985's *Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti*. Difford recalled, "He was becoming less and less involved at this time. I think he was getting frustrated that he wasn't getting more of a shout in the band, but by then he was spending less time thinking about being in the band and more about his career." Holland would release a solo album before moving to a television career.

## Title

The album was titled *Argybargy*, a British expression that Difford said "sums up succinctly what our lives were like at the time. We were in each other's pockets, travelling in a minibus and on Freddie Laker planes. It was getting tiring, but we lived on the adrenalin of it."

Because the titular expression is not used in America, band manager Miles Copeland opposed the album name. Difford recalled, "Miles told us no one would know what it meant but we didn't give a shit and were in a belligerent, young Englishmen's mood, so we kept it."

*Argybargy* was released in February 1980. It spent 15 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number 32. *Argybargy* was the first Squeeze album to chart in the US, reaching number 71 on the *Billboard* 200. On the *Billboard* dance chart, all cuts from *Argybargy* jointly peaked at number 76, and spent 6 weeks on that listing, in the summer of 1980.

*Argybargy* has seen critical acclaim from music writers. Chris Jones of BBC Music called the album "their crowning achievement" and "a masterpiece of kitchen sink pop," concluding, "If you're going to own at least one Squeeze album, this has to be the one." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote, "*Argybargy* doesn't stay in one place; it's restless and crackling with colors... with *Argybargy* it was clear that Squeeze were at the top of the pack among new wave popsters, and that their sardonic yet lively voice was unique among any pop group before or since."

### Accolades

*Paste* listed *Argybargy* as the 20th best new wave album, calling it the band's "first truly great" album and concluding, "Clever, infectious, with genuine emotion lying just below the surface—it's everything a great New Wave record should be." Music journalist John M. Borack ranked *Argybagy* at number 58 on his list of "The 200 Greatest Power Pop Albums" in his book *Shake Some Action: The Ultimate Guide to Power Pop*.
