What Has Changed in the Last Century
These are five settled biographies, and the dates in Collier's 1921 entries still hold. What has shifted is the balance of fame: Henry Jarvis Raymond is listed here as speaker, congressman and lieutenant-governor who also "established the New York 'Times'" in 1851, whereas today the paper is the only reason most readers know his name — it is still publishing, has won more Pulitzer Prizes than any other news organization, and now reaches most of its audience through digital subscriptions rather than newsprint. The comedian John T. Raymond, celebrated for Colonel Sellers in "The Gilded Age," has faded almost entirely, his stage fame belonging to an era before film recorded it. On the Counts of Toulouse, historians have moved on from the flat picture of Raymond VI as a "friend of the Albigenses": scholars since the 1990s have argued vigorously over whether the Cathars were an organized counter-church at all, or largely a construct of their inquisitors.
