  • The Consensus View on Camping and Tramping Fiction Is That It First
    Camping and Tramping, Swallows and Amazons: Interwar Children’s Fiction and the Search for England Hazel Sheeky A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Newcastle University May 2012 Abstract For many in Britain, the interwar period was a time of significant social, political and cultural anxiety. In the aftermath of the First World War, with British imperial power apparently waning, and with the politics of class becoming increasingly pressing, many came to perceive that traditional notions of British, and particularly English, identity were under challenge. The interwar years saw many cultural responses to the concerns these perceived challenges raised, as seen in H. V. Morton’s In Search of England (1927) and J. B. Priestley’s English Journey (1934). The sense of socio-cultural crisis was also registered in children’s literature. This thesis will examine one significant and under-researched aspect of the responses to the cultural anxieties of the inter-war years: the ‘camping and tramping’ novel. The term ‘camping and tramping’ refers to a sub-genre of children’s adventure stories that emerged in the 1930s. These novels focused on the holiday leisure activities – generally sailing, camping and hiking - of largely middle-class children in the British (and most often English) countryside. Little known beyond Arthur Ransome’s ‘Swallows and Amazons’ novels (1930-1947), this thesis undertakes a full survey of camping and tramping fiction, developing for the first time a taxonomy of this sub-genre (chapter one).

  • Arthur Ransome and the Dialect of Norfolk
    The Buckingham Journal of Language and Linguistics 2015 Volume 8 pp 79-98 ARTHUR RANSOME AND THE DIALECT OF NORFOLK Graeme Davis University of Buckingham [email protected] ABSTRACT Arthur Ransome provides information about the dialect of the English county of Norfolk as it was actually spoken in the 1930s. Two of his novels (Coot Club and The Big Six) are set on the Norfolk Broads. In these he offers some Norfolk vocabulary within the reported speech of some of his characters, along with some direct reflection on the dialect. However his masterpiece of Norfolk dialect is within Coots in the North (his unfinished novel, not published during his lifetime) where he presents what is in effect an extended Norfolk dialogue of over two-hundred lines. Ransome was an astute observer of language, and records the Norfolk dialogue with apparent accuracy and without contrivance. 1. INTRODUCTION Norfolk dialect is a Southern English dialect once commonplace throughout the county of Norfolk and of which fragments survive in use today. There is considerable overlap with the dialect of neighbouring Suffolk, and several nineteenth century accounts described the two together as East Anglia dialect. Twentieth century writers made the distinction between Norfolk and Suffolk. Arthur Ransome, a resident of Suffolk, is clear that his Coots are speaking the dialect of Norfolk. Norfolk dialect has a history as long as the English settlement of the British Isles, though with few texts to preserve it. Horatio Nelson tells us “I am a Norfolk man, and glory in being so”, and in the rare occasions when his words are recorded verbatim it is possible that we glimpse the Norfolk dialect of the second half of the eighteenth century.

  • To Download Notes for Schools
    A superb musical theatre adaptation of E. Nesbit's quintessentially English classic. An idyllic family Christmas in an affluent London suburb is interrupted by a knock at the door. Affable Station Master, Mr Perk’s, recounts the story of a young Edwardian family, whose lives have been irrevocably changed by a set of unforeseen circumstances. When Foreign Office Civil Servant, Charles Waterbury is imprisoned for selling state secrets, his wife up-sticks, moving her children to Three Chimneys Cottage, Somerset. Discovering a railway near their new home is just the beginning of a series of adventures for the Westbury Children Roberta (Bobbie), Peter and young Phyllis. The Railway becomes the source of friendships, love, dramas and reunifications, as the Westbury family embed themselves in the heart of their new community, fighting for justice and to clear their family name. Julian Woolford's and Richard John's musical brings a masterful emotional depth to this rite of passage story, that follows the story’s protagonist Bobbie as she transitions from an innocent youth to a responsible, politicised adult. Woolford and John’s adaptation features heartfelt ballads, stirring choral numbers and tuneful melodies. Notes for Schools Thank you for booking to see The Railway Children at The Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Centre this Christmas. This resource is to support your visit to our show, and provide you with additional creative and cross-curricular ideas to enhance your teaching. It is put together with teachers in mind and we hope it will inspire your lessons in the lead up to watching. There are 5 sections: 1.

  • “The Desire to Build a House,” Wrote Arthur Ransome in 1923, “Is the Tired Wish of a Man Content Thence Forward with a Single Anchorage
    PETER DUCK - OTHER PEOPLE'S DREAMS An essay written for the Aldeburgh Festival Programme June 2000 By Julia Jones “The desire to build a house,” wrote Arthur Ransome in 1923, “is the tired wish of a man content thence forward with a single anchorage. The desire to build a boat is the desire of youth, unwilling yet to accept the idea of a single resting place.” Ransome was nearing 40 when he wrote these words. It would be seven more years until the publication of Swallows and Amazons finally brought him the literary recognition for which he had been working since the publication of his first volume when he was 20 years old. Certainly there had been little resembling secure anchorage for him in the ten years preceding 1923. In 1913 he left London in the wake of Lord Alfred Douglas’s libel action against him after the publication of his book on Oscar Wilde. His defence, conducted flamboyantly by F.E.Smith, was successful but his then marriage was not. One impromptu visit to Russia was followed by a second and a third until he was established there as the Daily News Russian Correspondent, living mainly in Petrograd and reporting the Bolshevik Revolution, sympathetically, in 1917. Towards the end of that year he fell in love with Trotsky’s secretary, Evgenia Shelepina. Writing to his mother he described her and her sister as “huge young women, Bolsheviks, tall as Grenadiers, who prefer pistols to powder puffs and swords to parasols.” In 1918 he had to flee from Moscow to Stockholm to escape internment as an alien when the Allied forces landed at Archangel.
