Or perhaps it was simply chance. I was born in 1944 in Australia and, as far as I can remember, I displayed no mechanical talent at all. My parents, believing in “education”, educated me, but neglected to inform me that some sort of employment was a normal consequence of growing up. Being unaware of much other than learning, I wandered from school to university, studying mathematics and science; and then in 1963 I fortunately failed my second year at university. Fortunately, because the time spent repeating subjects opened up other opportunities, and I switched to the new-fangled area of computer science. Eight years later I emerged with a BSc in mathematics and PhD in computer science, but still with no realisation that “work” is the normal result of completing schooling; and so I became a university lecturer. I was a fair academic who did only a little useful research, but I was fascinated by the problems of teaching and spent most of my time trying to understand the learning process and better ways of passing on my knowledge. And away from work necessity made me learn how to lay bricks, build fences, repair small engines and do my own electrical house wiring, all of which I did adequately if not quite professionally. So life went on for some years until personal circumstances forced me to retire early and I found myself unemployable and bored. I don’t know what led a “thinker” to buy a silver pocket watch at a market stall, except that it shows a remarkable lack of self-awareness! An unknown, perhaps inherited urge awakened my curiosity and soon made me buy more watches and a few clocks. Unfortunately, those that I could afford did not work, and so I branched out into buying repair books and tools. Looking back on that time, I realise it would have been far cheaper to have paid someone to repair them, but it wouldn’t have been as interesting, instructive or enjoyable. For some strange reason I dislike clocks and I surrounded myself with delicate lathes, tiny screwdrivers and the wisdom of the past. I still hadn’t come to grips with the fact that a clumsy academic with astigmatism and poor hand-eye coordination is unlikely to be a successful watch repairer! But even though my practical abilities were limited, I successfully repaired some watches, butchered others, and gained considerable insight into horology in

  • Grandfathers' Clocks: Their Making and Their Makers in Lancaster County
    GRANDFATHERS' CLOCKS: THEIR MAKING AND THEIR MAKERS IN LANCASTER COUNTY, Whilst Lancaster county is not the first or only home of the so-called "Grandfathers' Clock," yet the extent and the excellence of the clock industry in this type of clocks entitle our county to claim special distinction as one of the most noted centres of its production. I, therefore, feel the story of it specially worthy of an enduring place in our annals, and it is with pleasure •and patriotic enthusiasm that I devote the time and research necessary to do justice to the subject that so closely touches the dearest traditions of our old county's social life and surroundings. These old clocks, first bought and used by the forefathers of many of us, have stood for a century or more in hundreds of our homes, faithfully and tirelessly marking the flight of time, in annual succession, for four genera- tions of our sires from the cradle to the grave. Well do they recall to memory and imagination the joys and sorrows, the hopes and disappointments, the successes and failures, the ioves and the hates, hours of anguish, thrills of happiness and pleasure, that have gone into and went to make up the lives of the lines of humanity that have scanned their faces to know and note the minutes and the hours that have made the years of each succeeding life. There is a strong human element in the existence of all such clocks, and that human appeal to our thoughts and memories is doubly intensified when we know that we are looking upon a clock that has thus spanned the lives of our very own flesh and blood from the beginning.

Particular thanks must go to the staff of the Department of Foreign Languages and Translation for their expertise and generosity over the three years that I have been working on this dissertation. I must also express my gratitude for the research grant which enabled me to spend nine valuable months working at Det norske institut i Roma, and to also thank the staff there for their friendliness and professionalism. Enormous thanks must go to my supervisors. My original supervisor, Professor Roy Tommy Eriksen, passed away April 2019. He is very much missed. I benefited greatly from his model of academic dedication as well as from his gracious companionship. Subsequently, Professor Per Sivefors took on the role as my main supervisor, and Professor Oddvar Holmesland became my assistant supervisor. I am deeply indebted to both for the insight and support they have provided as well as for their camaraderie. Thanks must also go to Professor Stuart Sillars who supervised my MA thesis at Bergen University. His acumen and intellectual generosity set me on the path which has culminated in the present study, and I was fortunate enough to benefit from these qualities again when he acted as the opponent for my 90 percent seminar.

  • 38 Eve Wersocki Morris, Q33606, Pp. 359-67
    ‘He had a Horse Called Bill’ (Yellow Sky): The Appropriation of Shakespeare in the Western. Eve Wersocki Morris Studying film from the perspective of genre theory requires analysis of cinematic techniques and contextual culture (filmic and social). Christine Gledhill claims that genre provides ‘a framework of structuring rules […] which act as a form of ‘supervision’ over the work of film-makers and the work of reading by an audience’.1 This definition indicates that each genre adheres to a fixed hierarchal form. Alternatively, Anthony Easthope argues that genre should be understood as an abstract, theoretical structure, which is transformed by each new production so ‘any instance of a genre will be necessarily different’.2 Easthope implies that the ‘structuring rules’ are not fixed but allow filmmakers ideological concerns and social and cultural environments to influence their individual films and aid in developing the genre framework itself. My essay shall adhere to this latter argument. In agreement with Easthope, Mary Bandy and Kevin Stoehr have argued that, post- World War Two, the Western experienced a ‘gradual transformation of genre’3 towards more ‘psychologically expressive Westerns’4 which was due to the public’s desire for darker subject matter. Alan Lovell specifies that these new Westerns did not alter the genre but simply imposed ‘a new sensibility on the old forms’,5 retaining the classic wild west scenery of the 19th Century American frontier. Andre Bazin has called these new Westerns ‘superwesterns’6 and Lovell refers to them as ‘adult westerns’.7 However, for the purposes of this essay, I shall be adopting Bandy’s term ‘psychological western’ because of its explicit allusions to the increased interest in exploring characters’ inner struggles.
