  • The Aeneid with Rabbits
    The Aeneid with Rabbits: Children's Fantasy as Modern Epic by Hannah Parry A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Acknowledgements Sincere thanks are owed to Geoff Miles and Harry Ricketts, for their insightful supervision of this thesis. Thanks to Geoff also for his previous supervision of my MA thesis and of the 489 Research Paper which began my academic interest in tracking modern fantasy back to classical epic. He must be thoroughly sick of reading drafts of my writing by now, but has never once showed it, and has always been helpful, enthusiastic and kind. For talking to me about Tolkien, Old English and Old Norse, lending me a whole box of books, and inviting me to spend countless Wednesday evenings at their house with the Norse Reading Group, I would like to thank Christine Franzen and Robert Easting. I'd also like to thank the English department staff and postgraduates of Victoria University of Wellington, for their interest and support throughout, and for being some of the nicest people it has been my privilege to meet. Victoria University of Wellington provided financial support for this thesis through the Victoria University Doctoral Scholarship, for which I am very grateful. For access to letters, notebooks and manuscripts pertaining to Rosemary Sutcliff, Philip Pullman, and C.S. Lewis, I would like to thank the Seven Stories National Centre for Children's Books in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Oxford University. Finally, thanks to my parents, William and Lynette Parry, for fostering my love of books, and to my sister, Sarah Parry, for her patience, intelligence, insight, and many terrific conversations about all things literary and fantastical.

    Word & World Volume 24, Number 3 Summer 2004 Reading Acts 16:6–40 on the Edges of the Navajo Reservation1 JEFFREY L. STALEY THE GIRL ON THE BORDERLANDS t is a hot July afternoon on the Navajo Reservation in northern Arizona, the kind of day that flakes off your skin like a fine alkaline dust. My three brothers and two sisters, along with our father and his wife, have met at Immanuel Mission for a family reunion. It is the first time all of us have been together since our mother’s death in 1984. Now it is eleven years later. At this precise moment I am standing beside my oldest brother, Rob, at the grave of Sarah Tsosie, a Navajo girl with whom we grew up. Thirty years ago we were both in love with Sarah. At the age of fourteen, Rob’s had been an open, recip- rocated affection. I ought to know. I used to follow Rob and Sarah around after dark to watch them kiss behind the cinder block dormitory. My love, on the other hand, was that sweet, secret, unrequited type commonly found in the hearts of jeal- ous, pesky little twelve-year-old brothers. The intervening thirty years have taken us both far away from Sarah and the reservation where we spent our childhood. But now we are side by side at Sarah’s hard-packed adobe grave, trying to say goodbye to someone—something—that was once simple, passionate, and young; full of grace and beauty. 1An earlier version of this essay appeared as “Changing Woman: Postcolonial Reflections on Acts16.6–40,” Journal for the Study of the New Testament 73 (1999) 113–135.

  • In the Time of King Arthur
    In the Time of King Arthur Arthurian legend refers to a body of medieval literature whose principal subject is the exploits of Arthur, a sixth century British king who fought to protect Britain from fierce Germanic tribes. Originally concerned with the history of Arthur and the "Matter of Britain," the legend developed into a more literary than purely historic form during the Middle Ages, incorporating elements of Celtic myth and medieval chivalry. By the twelfth century, Arthurian legend had become established in the literature of France, Germany, Italy, and other countries resulting in a great diversity of Arthurian characters, themes and motifs. Scholars divide Arthurian legend into two broadly overlapping domains, the "pseudo-historical Arthur" and Arthurian romance. The historical aspect of Arthurian legend developed chiefly in the British Isles. There Arthur's name is mentioned in conjunction with a number of battles in chronicles and poems that elaborate on the theme of Arthur as a heroic warrior king. Many latter chronicles that present a glorified portrayal of Arthur transgress historical fact, but in so doing, introduce new motifs such as the Isle of Avalon, the figure of Merlin, and the sword Exalibur. The flowering of Arthurian romance occurred in France during the late twelfth century. The numerous verse romances consolidate many of the legend's best known features: the romance of Lancelot and Guinevere, Sir Gawain as a model of noble conduct, and the quest for the mysterious Holy Grail. These romances shifted attention away from Arthur toward his illustrious knights of the round table. By the thirteenth century, Arthurian romances shift the treatment of the material from verse to prose.

  • Rosemary Sutcliff Centenary
    Rosemary Sutcliff Centenary celebration Agents US Rights: Georgia Glover Film & TV Rights: Georgina Ruffhead Translation Rights: [email protected] Contact t: +44 (0)20 7434 5900 f: +44 (0)20 7437 1072 www.davidhigham.co.uk Biography Rosemary Sutcliff was born in East Clanden, Surrey, England in 1920, and died in Walberton, West Sussex in 1992. Severely disabled by Still’s disease, Rosemary was home- schooled by her mother, and in the process was introduced to Celtic and Saxon legends. Having been a painter of miniatures, in 1946 she began to write for publication, retelling legends that her mother had introduced her to as a young child. With well over 40 books to her credit, Rosemary Sutcliff is now universally considered one of the finest writers of historical novels for children and adults. Her first novel, The Queen Elizabeth Story was published in 1950. In 1959 she won the prestigious Carnegie Medal with The Lantern Bearers, and in 1972 Tristan and Iseult was runner-up. Her version of the story of Arthur, Sword at Sunset, for adults, was top of the bestseller list in the UK. 3 In 1978 Song for a Dark Queen won the Other Award for radical women’s fiction. A major film adaptation of The Eagle of the Ninth, starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell, was released in 2011, under the title ‘The Eagle’. In 1975, she was awarded the OBE (Order of the British Empire) for services to Children’s Literature. She was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the year of her death.
