  • Robertson Davies Fifth Business Fifth Business Definition: Those Roles Which, Being Neither Those of Hero Nor Heroine, Confidant

    Robertson Davies Fifth Business Fifth Business Definition: Those Roles Which, Being Neither Those of Hero Nor Heroine, Confidant

    Robertson Davies Fifth Business Fifth Business Definition: Those roles which, being neither those of Hero nor Heroine, Confidante nor Villain, but which were nonetheless essential to bring about the Recognition or the denouement, were called the Fifth Business in drama and opera companies organized according to the old style; the player who acted these parts was often referred to as Fifth Business. —Tho. Overskou, Den Daaske Skueplads I. Mrs. Dempster 1 My lifelong involvement with Mrs. Dempster began at 8 o’clock p.m. on the 27th of December, 1908, at which time I was ten years and seven months old. I am able to date the occasion with complete certainty because that afternoon I had been sledding with my lifelong friend and enemy Percy Boyd Staunton, and we had quarrelled, because his fine new Christmas sled would not go as fast as my old one. Snow was never heavy in our part of the world, but this Christmas it had been plentiful enough almost to cover the tallest spears of dried grass in the fields; in such snow his sled with its tall runners and foolish steering apparatus was clumsy and apt to stick, whereas my low-slung old affair would almost have slid on grass without snow. The afternoon had been humiliating for him, and when Percy as humiliated he was vindictive. His parents were rich, his clothes were fine, and his mittens were of skin and came from a store in the city, whereas mine were knitted by my mother; it was manifestly wrong, therefore, that his splendid sled should not go faster than mine, and when such injustice showed itself Percy became cranky.
  • The Poet As Novelist

    The Poet As Novelist

    THE POET AS NOVELIST Linda Hutcheon 1IN 1965 NORTHROP FRYE WROTE: "A striking fact about Can- adian poetry is the number of poets who have turned to narrative forms (including closet drama) rather than lyrical ones."1 It is indeed true that we possess a rather rich tradition of narrative poetry in this country, and, as Frye has also pointed out,2 much of our poetry that is lyrical in form is not at all lyrical in spirit. Yet it is also a fact that at least two of our decidedly lyric poets have turned to narrative, but narrative in prose: Leonard Cohen and Margaret Atwood. They have not totally rejected what Frye calls "the more manipulated comic and romantic formu- las of prose fiction" but they do seem to have used narrative for its natural affinities with ironic tones and themes.3 Unlike Pratt's tragic and impersonal narrative poems, the novels of Cohen and Atwood in particular are both ironic and per- sonal — that is, lyrical and not autobiographical. These novels are lyrical or poetic in yet another way, one that seems to set them apart from the creations of Canadian novelists proper. This difference would seem to lie in the particular structural use made of imagery and symbolism within the novels. It is not that the poet/novelists use more oí these devices, but that they use them in a different manner : they appear to be willing to trust the reader with the image. Poets, after all, have no choice; in their poetry, they have to. Novelists, on the other hand, have a different set of rhetorical tools at their command: among these, plot and character exposition and narrative explanation.
  • A Will and Two Ways the Ambivalence of Evil in Robertson Davies's the Deptford Trilogy

    A Will and Two Ways the Ambivalence of Evil in Robertson Davies's the Deptford Trilogy

    David Lucking A Will and Two Ways The Ambivalence of Evil in Robertson Davies's The Deptford Trilogy Orthodox Christianity has always had for me the difficulty that it really won't come ... to grips with the problem of evil. It knows an enormous amount about evil, it discusses evil in fascinating terms, but evil is always the other thing: it is something which is apart from perfection, and man's duty is to strive for perfection. I could not reconcile that with such experience of life as I had, and the Jungian feeling that things tend to run into one another, that what looks good can be pushed to the point where it becomes evil, and that evil very frequently bears what can only be regarded as good fruit—this was the first time I'd ever seen that sort of thing given reasonable consideration, and it made enormous sense to me. I feel now that I am a person of strongly religious temperament, but when I say "religious" I mean immensely con- scious of powers of which I can have only the dimmest appre- hension, which operate by means that I cannot fathom, in directions which I would be a fool to call either good or bad. Robertson Davies, Interview with Donald Silver Cameron (Davis 82) Vi/hile it might seem something of an exaggeration to ascribe anything so elaborate as a systematic theology to Robertson Davies's The Deptford Trilogy, there is such a large component in it of metaphysical speculation as to the role of the sacred in temporal affairs that it would be difficult to think of a more appropriate term.

By Robertson Davies. Toronto: Irwin Publishing, 1985. Pp.540. $24.95. Robertson Davies. By Michael Peterman. Twayne World Authors Series TW AS 780. Eioston: Twayne Publishers 1986. Pp.178. $19.95. In What's Bred in the Bone, Davies's fiction exhibits more strongly than ever before the "savage and often melancholy wisdom" for which, in the persona of Samuel Marchbanks, he once praised the operas of Gilbert and Sullivan. It is perhaps appropriate, therefore, that Davies's latest novel should appear simultaneously with his rumbus­ tious Doppelganger s Papers, for the cord that links them is clearly intact and influence~~ are running both ways. What's Bred in the Bone is the second volume in the Spook trilogy, which began with the story of the events following the death of Francis Cornish in The Rebel Angels (1981). Opening some time after the end of The Rebel AngeL, What's Bred in the Bone begins with Francis's official biographer, Si m on Darcourt (whom we have previously met as one of the two eo- :tarrators of The Rebel Angels), attempting to explain why the biography is not going well and despairing of ever being able to discover what was "bred in the bone" of his subject. What's Bred in the B'Jne then doubles back in time, however, and gives us the life of Francis Cornish, as it is reviewed by the Angel of Biography, the Les1;er Zadkiel, and by Francis's personal tutelary spirit, the Daimon Maimas.

    Ms Coll 00050 Davies (Robertson) Papers Robertson Davies Papers (gift of June Davis) Dates: 1929-2008 Extent: 115 boxes (22 metres) Biographical Description: Robertson Davies was born in Thamesville, Ontario in 1913 and was the third son of W. Rupert Davies and Florence Sheppard McKay. Davies’ father, Rupert Davies was born in Wales and was the publisher of The Kingston Whig Standard and was appointed to the Senate as a Liberal in 1942, a position he would hold until his death in 1967. As a young child, Robertson Davies moved with his family to Renfrew, Ontario, where his father managed the local newspaper, the Renfrew Mercury. The family would later relocate to Kingston in 1925. Between 1928 and 1932, Davies attended Upper Canada College in Toronto, where he performed in theatrical performances and wrote and edited the school paper, The College Times. After graduating, Davies attended Queen’s University in Kingston, where he was enrolled as a special student as he was not working towards a specific degree. Between 1932 and 1935, Davies wrote for the school paper and performed and directed theatrical plays. In 1935, Davies traveled to England to study at Baillol College at Oxford, where he was enrolled in a Bachelor of Letters degree. At Oxford, Davies performed with the Oxford University Dramatic Society and was a co- founder of the Long Christmas Dinner Society. After graduating in 1938, Davies published his thesis, Shakespeare’s Boy Actors through the publisher J.M Dent & Sons in 1939. In 1938, Davies joined the Old Vic theatre company, where he had roles in The Taming of the Shrew, She Stoops to Conquer, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream and also worked as a teacher of dramatic history at their drama school.

    A CYCLE COMPLETED the Nine Novels of Robertson Davies

    A CYCLE COMPLETED The Nine Novels of Robertson Davies George Woodcock GLENDOWER : I can call spirits from the vasty deep. HOTSPUR: Why, so can I, or so can any man, But will they come if you do call to them? GLENDOWER : Why, I can teach you cousin, to command The devil. HOTSPUR : And I can teach thee, coz., to shame the devil By telling truths : tell truth and shame the devil. (William Shakespeare, Henry IV, Part 7, in.i.53-59) W THE PUBLICATION in the autumn of 1988 of The Lyre of Orpheus, Robertson Davies has completed the third of his fictional trilogies, each centred on a different Ontario town, and each dominated by a central group of characters through whose varying perceptions and memories the current of events that characterizes the trilogy is perceived. The completion of the triple triad is, as Davies has undoubtedly recognized, an event that stirs a multitude of numerological, folkloric, and mythological echoes. Nine was one of the three mystical numbers of the Pythagoreans, and though three was a perfect number which Pythagoras made the sign of the deity, nine had its specific significance as a trinity of trinities, the perfect plural. For Pythagoras, and later for the great classical astronomer Ptolemy, the universe moved in nine spheres. In various contexts we find the number particularly associated with inspiration and imagination. There were nine Muses, nine Gallicenae or virgin priestesses of the Druid oracles, and nine Sibylline books transmitted from Cumae to Rome. Echoed constantly in Davies' novels is the ancient concept of a nine day's wonder: as the old proverb has it, "A wonder lasts nine days, and then the puppy's eyes are open." But most relevant of all in considering The Lyre of Orpheus as the last Davies novel to date — and perhaps the last of the kind to which we have become accus- tomed since Fifth Business appeared in 1970 — is the role which nine plays in music, for nine was the Pythagorean diapason, man being the full chord, or eight notes, and nine representing the deity, ultimate harmony.
