  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • Malory Revisited: from Caxton to Steinbeck1
    MALORY REVISITED: FROM CAXTON TO STEINBECK1 Malory's work is, after Chaucer's, the most popular literary work from the Middle Ages that has been present among generations of readers for more than five centuries. The theme I want to address in this paper is closely relat- ed to the nature of Malory's work as a compiler, adapter, abridger, condenser, rearranger, or translator --whatever the reader prefers to call him. But I am not going to discuss Malory's own efforts, success and failures in his task with the "Frensshe bookes" and his debated "originality", something that has been done with great proficiency by many scholars since the nineteenth cent- ury.2 My aim here is much more modest and can be described as an attempt to situate Malory's work in the context of its reception throughout the centur- ies, and particularly during the 20th century, when a new Malory has emerged as a consequence of the editions of his work. Because, as Larry Benson said more than thirty years ago now (Benson, 1968: 81), Malory's work is "a critical 'discovery' of the twentieth century", or as D. S. Brewer also wrote in 1970, alluding to Benson's statement (Brewer, 1970: 83): "The work of the last twenty years is greater than that of the preceding half millenium". The nature of Malory's work itself is controversial, as is well known; and as the reader may have noticed, I have been referring to Malory's work in singular, in the general sense of an author's oeuvre, thus avoiding the men- 1 This paper was written as a response to Professor Patricia Shaw's invitation to par- ticipate in the 8th International Conference of Selim, that took place at the University of Castellón in September 1995.

  • California Reading List Grades K-12
    CCaalliiffoorrnniiaa RReeaaddiinngg LLiisstt GGrraaddeess KK--1122 2006/2007 Reading is important, both in and out of school…. Reading and literacy skills provide students with the keys to lifelong learning. The more students read, the better readers they will become. Every effort should be made both at school and at home to get students to do as much reading as possible. Why this list? These lists have been developed to assist parents and students in selecting books written at a level of difficulty that corresponds with a child’s ability to read based on a single test score. Drawn from California’s recommended literature lists for students in kindergarten through grade twelve, the reading lists have been specifically tailored to match the achievement level of each student who participated in the statewide assessment program during the previous spring. Which list is most relevant for my child? Reading List #: There are 13 different lists of reading material included in this booklet (numbered from 1 to 13+). These lists are progressive in terms of difficulty; each list is made up of a collection of titles that are slightly more difficult to read than the titles on the list before it. List #1 contains the most easy-to-read titles, while List #13+ is made up of the most difficult or sophisticated titles. The list numbers do NOT correspond to grade levels. Multiple lists are available at each grade level. For example, lists 1 through 9 are available for grade 2 with a few books identified on lists 10 and 11. Based on your child’s score on the California English-Language Arts Standards Test, a specific list has been designated as appropriate for him or her in terms of reading difficulty and interest level.
