  • Fra Presidenten Syttende Mai
    SHASTAFJELL NORDLANDET NEWS April 2018 VOL. 49 NO. 4 Fra Presidenten Syttende Mai Haakon V Langbein (Longlegs) ruled Norway 1299-1319. He had a daughter but no sons. Before he died, he said to his counselors that only Norwegians should be permitted to rule in Norway. But that is not the way that things happened. His son- in-law who was from Sweden became king of Norway and his grandson later became king of Norway and Sweden. Norway, Sweden and Denmark were ruled together for centuries. Five hundred years later in the Napoleonic war, Denmark had a falling out with England and sided with France. As retribution for supporting France, Denmark had to cede Norway to Sweden. The Norwegian National Assembly at Eidsvoll then drafted a Constitution for Norway and it was signed on May 17, 1814 although the country was still ruled by King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway. By 1905, Norway had become a great modern shipping nation needing it’s own foreign policy and consulates abroad. The Swedes did not support Norway in these matters so the Norwegian Cabinet members all resigned their posts en mass. On June 7, 1905 Norway withdrew from the alliance with Sweden and became completely independent. Christian Frederik Carl Georg Valdemar Alexander was born a Dane but as the younger brother of the future king of Denmark, he accepted an invitation to become the King of Norway and took the old Norwegian royal name of Haakon. He was crowned King Haakon VII. The sequence of Kings since then included his son Olaf V and grandson Harald V.

  • A Survey of Definitions from "The Lunatic Fringe"
    Children's literature: a survey of definitions from "the lunatic fringe" Margaret Shaw-Macli'innon In her article "Why are Americans afraid of dragons?" (1974; rpt. 19791, Ursula K. Le Guin offers a defense of imagination, of children, of "fairy- tale, legend, fantasy, science fiction," and the rest of what she calls "the lunatic fringe" (44). It is not an accident that she sweeps up such an odd group into her protective grasp. As J.R.R. Tolkien in "On fairy-stories" (1947) points out, fairy tales were relegated to Victorian nurseries in the past century, and have until recently been primarily associated with chil- dren (57). Furthermore, if one travels a step further back, to the Romantic poets, one finds Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge associating imagination with the child, a trend which has continued to the present day. Children's liter- ature, like the imaginative literatures mentioned above, can, even in these enlightened times, be included in that "lunatic fringe," a fact which is never so apparent as when one attempts to define the term. A brief survey of definitions must begin with the problems. One finds the question of defining children's literature has been skirted with great dex- terity by many journals and students of the field. There are, however, numerous arguments against the negative treatment which children's lit- erature receives from adults. As early as 1947, C.S. Lewis defended chil- dren's literature (fantasy in particular) and offered many interesting anec- dotes knocking adults who lrnock children's literature: "A critic not long ago said in praise of a very serious fairy tale that the tongue 'never once got into his cheek!' But why on earth should it? - unless he had been eating a seedcake.

    CREATIVE DIFFERENCES: SENDAK’S AND KNUSSEN’S INTENDED AUDIENCES OF WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE AND HIGGLETY PIGGLETY POP! by Leah Giselle Field M.Mus., University of Western Ontario, 2008 B.Mus., The University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2015 © Leah Giselle Field, 2015 Abstract Author and illustrator Maurice Sendak and composer Oliver Knussen collaborated on two one- act operas based on Sendak’s picture books Where the Wild Things Are and Higglety Pigglety Pop! or There Must Be More to Life. Though they are often programmed as children’s operas, Sendak and Knussen labeled the works fantasy operas, but have provided little commentary on any distinction between these labels. Through examination of their notes and commentary on the operas, published reviews and analysis of the operas, e-mail interviews conducted with operatic administrators and composers of children’s operas, and my analysis of the two works I intend to show that Sendak and Knussen had different target audiences in mind as they created these works. ii Preface This dissertation is an original intellectual product of the author, Leah Giselle Field, with the guidance of professors Dr. Alexander J.
