  • 'The Sights Are Worse Than the Journeys': Travel Writing at the Mid
    1 ‘The Sights Are Worse Than The Journeys’: Travel Writing At The Mid-Century Petra Rau The mid-century is a pale spot on the critical map of travel writing. This is largely the fault of Evelyn Waugh, who in 1945 predicted a long hiatus in the genre: ‘There is no room for tourists in a world of “displaced persons”[:] the very young, perhaps, may set out like the Wandervogels of the Weimar period; lean, lawless, aimless couples with rucksacks, joining the great army of men and women without papers, without official existence, the refugees and deserters, who drift everywhere today between the barbed wire’.1 Unfortunately literary criticism has taken this statement at face value, attending either to the abundant travel corpus of the prewar years or the postmodern versions of the genre, as if there had been literally nowhere to go and nothing to write home about in the mid-century years. Far from it. These decades are bookended by two substantial classics — Rebecca West’s Black Lamb and Grey Falcon (1941) and Wilfred Thesiger’s Arabian Sands (1959) — and peppered with international bestsellers in-between. Yet there is much to ponder in Waugh’s statement: the myth of freedom that travel fosters; the ironic rejection of the tourist-traveller distinction; the modernist horror of the crowd; the traveller’s need for a home; the impact of war on the purpose and circumstances of travel; above all, his sense of nostalgia. Aimlessness had been part of the romance of travel and the declared habitus of a whole generation of dissolute young men and women trying to escape the boundaries of predictable bourgeois lives back home, as Paul Fussell argued in Abroad.2 In a world in which millions of homeless were ‘drifting’ as a result of political vicissitudes, voluntary wandering seemed rather inappropriate.

  • 1 Battle Weariness and the 2Nd New Zealand Division During the Italian Campaign, 1943-45
    ‘As a matter of fact I’ve just about had enough’;1 Battle weariness and the 2nd New Zealand Division during the Italian Campaign, 1943-45. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History at Massey University New Zealand. Ian Clive Appleton 2015 1 Unknown private, 24 Battalion, 2nd New Zealand Division. Censorship summaries, DA 508/2 - DA 508/3, (ANZ), Censorship Report No 6/45, 4 Feb to 10 Feb 45, part 2, p.1. Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Abstract By the time that the 2nd New Zealand Division reached Italy in late 1943, many of the soldiers within it had been overseas since early 1941. Most had fought across North Africa during 1942/43 – some had even seen combat earlier, in Greece and Crete in 1941. The strain of combat was beginning to show, a fact recognised by the division’s commanding officer, Lieutenant-General Bernard Freyberg. Freyberg used the term ‘battle weary’ to describe both the division and the men within it on a number of occasions throughout 1944, suggesting at one stage the New Zealanders be withdrawn from operations completely. This study examines key factors that drove battle weariness within the division: issues around manpower, the operational difficulties faced by the division in Italy, the skill and tenacity of their German opponent, and the realities of modern combat.

  • The Eland Catalogue, No. 14
    Welcome to the Eland Catalogue, No. 14 In 1982, John Hatt set up Eland. His office was his attic, perched at the top of his house on a grid of 19th-century terraced streets. Thus was Eland born, earning its identity from a South London street named after a large African antelope, which had been nicknamed by a Dutch-African back in the 17th-century, half-remembering the German slang for an elk. Only later did we find out that there had been an old Devonian family of bookseller-publishers called Eland, who worked in the close of Exeter Cathedral, a football stadium in Leeds and an Anglo-Saxon manor in Yorkshire that survived the Norman conquest. But it is to the large, docile, spiral-horned antelope that we owe our brand name. They sound fine animals these African Elands. A bull can stand six feet tall at the shoulder and weigh over two thousand pounds, so can pretty much barge his way through anything in his path, especially when backed up by the rest of the herd. Unlike publishers they tend to avoid lunch, preferring to eat at dawn and dusk and digest with a siesta in the middle of the day. When the herd moves in the night, they create a distinctive castanet-like chorus from the clack of their hooves. For tens of thousands of years the Bushmen have honoured the Eland as a trickster god, who assists in trance, dance and spirit travel. The Eland has now and then been domesticated (their milk keeps well) but they are essentially nomadic, which is true for those who work at Eland, who have spent as much of their time as journalists, writers, editors, dog-whisperers and dragoman-guides as behind a desk.

They were described by soldiers as returning to the Dark Ages; hungry and craving for miracles and cures. What set Italy apart from other occupied areas was its dual occupation: by the Allies in the south and the Germans in the north. More specifically, Naples was the largest resting camp for Allied serviceman as well as a city governed by corruption and the mafia known as the Camorra. As the city of Naples grew desperate, a thriving black market emerged within the city’s broken walls. Moreover, as women were helpless and passive, ready to be taken physically by their occupiers, as well as the sole providers for their families, prostitution became commonplace. Thus, I will discuss the emergence of a sexual economy in Naples, most significantly how American soldiers have discussed Naples as a place of crime, prostitution, sexually-transmitted disease, and desperation.

Berendt throws out all the not very interesting events of his time there and concentrates all his pages on a few select characters and events, and uses the murder trial of Jim Williams as the book's arch Lewis could've done the same thing with the bandits marauding all over Naples or his friend's relation with the Italian woman. The days of Benito Mussolini must seem like a lost paradise compared with this. What makes this book special is the style of writing: laconic, subdued, detached. This is an excellent account of post-war Naples though at times it can be heartbreaking to read. It is just the treatment of the Italians by the Allies, but how one British man viewed everything. More information about this seller Contact this seller. But the real reason to read this diary is to see how the Allies interacted with the Italians, once German allies but who are liberated by the Americans, British and Canadians.
