Notes and References Notes and References The majority of Lawrence Durrell's manuscripts and other private papers are located at the Special Collections, Morris Library, Southern Illinois Uni­ versity at Carbondale: they were largely acquired in two tranches, the first having been catalogued as Collection 42: references to this part of the Dur­ rell Archive will be made as follows: SIUC: 42/00/0, where the second set of digits indicates the box number and the third digit indicates the folio number within the box. Readers pursuing this material should also follow the catalogue of the collection made by Ian MacNiven, A Descriptive Cata­ logue of the Lawrence Durrell Collection at Southern Illinois University (Carbon­ dale, 1975), and, where necessary, supplemented by reference to Shelley Cox, The Lawrence Durrell Papers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale: Exhibit and Catalog (Carbondale 1988). In the case of the second, more recently acquired, part of the Archive, which includes a large portion of Durrell's working library, cataloguing had not been completed at the time of my research, and reference has been msade to SIUC/LD/ Accession II. In the case of items held by the Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches Lawrence Durrell at Sommieres, reference is made to the inventory entry as follows: CERLD: inv. 000 or, where the item is uncatalogued, to CERLD (uncata­ logued item), followed by a short description of the item. The pages in most notebooks are unnumbered, or have been numbered incorrectly during cataloguing; references to page numbers have been included only where there is no possibility of confusion as to the page intended: in most instances, these are Durrell's own markings.

There are considerable similarities between the early careers of Durrell and Richard Aldington: see in particular C. Doyle, Richard Aldington (Basingstoke: Macmillan Press, 1989) pp. xvi, xvii, xviii, 4, 5, 7, 10, 86, 91, 120, 131 and 281-305 on their later friendship. See also I. MacNiven and H. T. Moore (eds), Literary Lifelines: The Richard Aldington-Lawrence Durrell Correspondence (London: Faber and Faber, 1981) and R. Pine, The Dandy and the Herald, especially pp. 151--6, on Durrell's indebtedness to Death of a Hero and All Men are Enemies. It is also worth noting that Durrell owed something of his knowledge of rectory life to Aldington's The Colonel's Daughter (London: Chatto and Windus, 1931) especially pp. 35,306. 26. There are also considerable (but less likely) parallels between the early years of Durrell and William Gerhardie: see D. Davies, William 390 Notes and References Gerhardie (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1990), especially the passages dealing with Gerhardie as an expatriate (cf. p. 22) and the question of indeterminacy (cf. p. 24); see also pp. 23, 26, 65, 78, 114, 142-3, 164, 176, 281, 284, 364, 370; and R. Pine, The Dandy and the Herald, pp. 156-61, for a discussion of Durrell's relationship to Futility and The Polyglots. 27. There is evidence in the Fraser collection at SIUC (84/1/2) that Faber and Faber were not entirely satisfied with the study. 28. F. R. Leavis, The Great Tradition (London: Chatto and Wmdus, 1962) p. 26: it is true that we can point to the influence of Joyce in a line of writers to which there is no parallel issuing from Lawrence.... In these writers, in whom a regrettable (if minor) strain of Mr Eliot's influence seems to me to join with that of Joyce we have, in so far as we have anything significant, the wrong kind of reaction to liberal idealism. I have in mind writers whom Mr Eliot has expressed an interest in strongly favourable terms: Djuna Barnes of Nightwood, Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell of The Black Book. In these writers - at any rate in the last two (and the first seems to me insignificant)­ the point of what we are offered affects me as being entirely a desire in Lawrentian phrase, to 'do dirt' on life. The remark about Durrell being 'not one of us' is attributed by R. W. Dasenbrock to Ray Morrison in 'Centrifugality: An Approach to Lawrence Durrell', in L. W. Markert and C. Pierce (eds), On Miracle Ground II (Baltimore, Md.: University of Baltimore, 1984) p. 210 [here­ after cited as OMG2]. 29.

  • Golden Threads Copyright © Rossen, 2011 Tuesday, March 5, 2013
    Draft: Golden Threads Copyright © Rossen, 2011 Tuesday, March 5, 2013 Golden Threads Preamble My Family in Greece John Augustus Toole Who can tell which Angel of Good Fortune must have smiled upon the young loyalist Irishman, John Augustus Toole, when he joined the British Navy as a midshipman and sailed out to the Mediterranean sometime in the first decade of the 19th Century? He was landed on the enchanted island of Zante where he met the great love of his life, the Contessina Barbara Querini. In this book I will tell the story of their love, the disapproval of Barbara’s family and how it came about that the young British officer prevailed. It was his good fortune and hers that resulted in my family on the Ionian Islands in Greece. My life, four generations later, was succoured in the cradle of luxury and privilege that he, his children and grandchildren had created. Before I tell you the story of my remarkable life on these islands, a story resonant with living memory and fondness for the people who touched my life, I will describe in this preamble the times, places and people who came before me: the tales told to me as a child. Most of Greece was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time of John Augustus Toole’s arrival. The seven Ionian Islands, located on the west coast of Greece, had escaped Ottoman occupation as part of the Venetian Empire. In 1796 Venice fell to the French under Napoléon Bonaparte. In 1809, British forces liberated the island of Zante and soon after Cephalonia, Kythria and Lefkada.

  • Till We Have Built Jerusalem: Reading Group Gold
    FARRAR, STRAUS AND GIROUX Reading Group Gold Till We Have Built Jerusalem: Architects of a New City by Adina Hoffman ISBN: 978-0-374-28910-2 / 368 pages A remarkable view of one of the world’s most beloved and troubled cities, Adina Hoffman’s Till We Have Built Jerusalem is a gripping and intimate journey into the very different lives of three archi- tects who helped shape modern Jerusalem. The book unfolds as an excavation. It opens with the 1934 arrival in Jerusalem of the celebrated Berlin architect Erich Mendelsohn, a refugee from Hitler’s Germany, who must reckon with a com- plex new Middle Eastern reality. Driven to build in terms both practical and prophetic, Mendelsohn is a maverick whose ideas about Jerusalem’s political and visual prospects place him on a collision course with his peers. Next we meet Austen St. Barbe Harrison, Palestine’s chief government ar- chitect from 1922 to 1937. Steeped in the traditions of Byzantine and Islamic building, this “most private of public servants” finds himself working under the often stifling and violent conditions of British rule. And in the riveting final section, Hoffman herself sets out through the battered streets of today’s Jerusalem searching for traces of a possibly Greek, possibly Arab architect named Spyro Houris. Once a fixture on the local scene, Houris is now utterly forgotten, though his grand, Arme- nian-tile-clad buildings still stand, a ghostly testimony to the cultural fluidity that has historically characterized Jerusalem at its best. We hope that the following discussion topics will enrich your reading group’s experience of this beautifully written rumination on memory and forgetting, place and displacement, and on what it means, everywhere, to be foreign and to belong.

  • Menagerie Manor, by Gerald Durrell. Hart-Davis, 21S. Those Who Have Been Enchanted by Mr
    Book Reviews 61 Zoo Yearbook). The other criticism of this fine production is that the photographs are ludicrously inadequate for the subject. With only eight pages of photographs for 761 pages of text, they can hardly even begin to sum up the visual aspects of the management of captive animals. But it is churlish to comment adversely on these minor points when the author has provided us with such an immensely useful desk volume. No one concerned with the care of wild mammals can afford to be without it. DESMOND MORRIS Menagerie Manor, by Gerald Durrell. Hart-Davis, 21s. Those who have been enchanted by Mr. DurrelPs previous animal books will not be disappointed by this one describing the first five years of the Jersey Zoo at Les Augres Manor. It consists of a series of delightfully told anecdotes about the inmates of a very happy zoo. Visiting there last summer I was immediately impressed by the tameness and general well- being of the animals, due, I am certain to the pains which Mr. Durrell and his staff take to get to know each one as an individual; they all recognised and greeted him with unmistakable affection when he passed by. The author is conservation-minded, and he describes the dilemma of the zoo director faced with the offer from a dealer of a young orang-utan. Should he refuse it on the grounds that to accept is to stimulate further demand ? Or should he accept because his zoo offers the best chance of survival for this particular animal ? Until the zoos and conservation authorities have this question worked out and until the recent legislation controlling the import of rare animals in this country becomes effective, the zoo director must be guided by his conscience and balance his altruism against his acquisitive enthusiasm.

  • Social Networks in the History of Archaeology. Placing Archaeology in Its Context
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Repository of the Freie Universität Berlin Amara Thornton Social Networks in the History of Archaeology. Placing Archaeology in its Context Summary This paper explores the value of social networks in the history of archaeology, combining them with biography and prosopography to produce a practical method for examining the development of the discipline, and an alternative to the traditional history of archaeology narrative. It presents broad categories for the interpretation and visualization of social net- works, illuminated by case studies focusing on linked political and archaeological networks in early British Mandate Palestine and Transjordan. Social networks are a tool for under- standing the historical context of archaeological work, and can be utilized to explore the role of men and women, politicians, soldiers, artists, architects, funders and others, in the excavation, interpretation, presentation and reception of archaeology. Keywords: Archaeology; social networks; biography; prosopography; history; British Mandate Palestine and Transjordan. Der Artikel untersucht die Bedeutung von sozialen Netzwerken in der Geschichte der Ar- chäologie. Im Rückgriff auf biographische und prosopographische Ansätze soll eine geeig- nete Methode zur Untersuchung der Entwicklung des Fachs herausgearbeitet werden und eine Alternative zu den traditionellen Erzählungen in der Archäologiegeschichte. Anhand einer Fallstudie über die miteinander verbundenen politischen und archäologischen Netz- werke in den frühen britischen Mandaten Palästina und Transjordanien werden allgemeine Kategorien für die Interpretation und Visualisierung von sozialen Netzwerken diskutiert. Die Analyse sozialer Netzwerke gibt Einblick in den historischen Kontext archäologischer Arbeit und erlaubt es, die Rollen von Männern und Frauen, Politikern, Soldaten, Künstlern, Architekten und Sponsoren bei der Ausgrabung, Interpretation, Präsentation und Rezepti- on von Archäologie zu untersuchen.

Lawrence Durrell and the Overgrown Typescript of Bitter Lemons David Roessel Abstract This article looks at previously unmined archival documents in order to explore the pre- and post-publication history of Lawrence Durrell’s Bitter Lemons, a travelogue written during the ‘emergency years’ of the EOKA campaign against British rule and for union with Greece. It examines the ways in which paratextual documents surrounding this publication history illuminate the awkward, sometimes contradictory, relationship between Durrell’s book and the last years of the British colonial government in Cyprus, a government for which Durrell worked as an employee in the Public Information Office. Pursewarden, the famous novelist that Durrell created as a character in the Alexandria Quartet, remarked, “We live...lives based on selected fictions” (Balthazar 138). As Durrell’s masterpiece unfolds, the reader is made keenly aware of how important Pursewarden’s observation is to the narrative. Balthazar, in the volume named after him, corrects Darley’s account in Justine by making a new, interlinear text with the comment: our view of reality is conditioned by our position in space and time—not by our personalities as we like to think.

  • Bosketto Durrell” and the Unveiling of a Plaque Commemorating the Brothers Lawrence Durrell (1912-1990) and Gerald Durrell (1925-1995)
    Durrell School of Corfu Κερκυραικος Συνδεσµος Νταρελ ___________________________________________________________________________ 11 Filellinon Street, 49-100 Corfu, Greece Tel/Fax 30-26610-21326 e-mail [email protected] www.durrell-school-corfu.org PRESS INFORMATION The Durrell School of Corfu is pleased to announce its participation in the naming of the Corfu Bosketto as “Bosketto Durrell” and the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the brothers Lawrence Durrell (1912-1990) and Gerald Durrell (1925-1995). The plaque celebrates the fact that Lawrence Durrell and Gerald Durrell were “writers and Philhellenes”, and that they lived in Corfu 1935-1939. Lawrence Durrell was one of the most influential novelists of the twentieth century. In addition to being a significant poet, dramatist and travel writer, he wrote The Alexandria Quartet (1957- 60) which changed the direction of the modern novel, The Avignon Quintet (1974-85) which achieved a synthesis of western narrative style and eastern philosophy, and his personal evocation of Corfu, Prospero’s Cell (1945). Gerald Durrell was the founder of the Jersey Zoological Park (1959) and became one of the world’s leading experts and activists in the breeding of animals in danger of extinction in their natural habitat. A humorous and persuasive writer and broadcaster, he popularised his work with books such as A Zoo in my Luggage (1960). His own accounts of growing up in Corfu include The Garden of the Gods (1978) and the world-famous best-seller My Family and Other Animals (1956). Their books – and, in the case of My Family and Other Animals which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2006, in two films of the book by the BBC, in 1989 and 2005 – contributed significantly to the worldwide reputation of the island of Corfu and to the development of the Corfiot tourist industry.
