Sinister Street Volume 1 Sinister Street Volume 1 By Compton Mackenzie Sinister Street Chapter I: The New World FROM a world of daisies as big as moons and of mountainous green hillocks Michael Fane came by some unrealized method of transport to the thin red house, that as yet for his mind could not claim an individual existence amid the uniformity of a long line of fellows. His arrival coincided with a confusion of furniture, with the tramp of men backwards and forwards from a cavernous vehicle very dry and dusty. He found himself continually being lifted out of the way of washstands and skeleton chests of drawers. He was invited to sit down and keep quiet, and almost in the same breath to walk about and avoid hindrance. Finally, Nurse led him up many resonant stairs to the night-nursery which at present consisted of two square cots that with japanned iron bars stood gauntly in a wilderness of oilcloth surrounded by four walls patterned with a prolific vegetation. Michael was dumped down upon a grey pillow and invited to see how well his sister Stella was behaving. Nurse's observation was true enough: Stella was rosily asleep in an undulation of blankets, and Michael, threatened by many whispers and bony finger-shakes, was not at all inclined to wake her up. Nurse retired in an aura of importance, and Michael set out to establish an intimacy with the various iron bars of his cage. For a grown-up person these would certainly have seemed much more alike than even the houses of Carlington Road, West Kensington: for Michael each bar possessed a personality. Minute scratches unnoticed by the heedless adult world lent variety of expression: slight irregularities infused certain groups with an air of deliberate consultation. From the four corners royal bars, crowned with brass, dominated their subjects. Passions, intrigues, rumours, ambitions, revenges were perceived by Michael to be seething below the rigid exterior of these iron bars: even military operations were sometimes discernible. This cot was guarded by a romantic population, with one or two of whose units Michael could willingly have dispensed: one bar in particular, set very much askew, seemed sly and malignant. Michael disliked being looked at by anybody or anything, and this bar had a persistent inquisitiveness which already worried him. 'Why does he look at me?' Michael would presently ask, and 'Nobody wants to look at such an ugly little boy,' Nurse would presently reply. So one more intolerable question would overshadow his peace of mind. Meanwhile, far below, the tramp of men continued, until suddenly an immense roar filled the room. Some of the bars shivered and clinked, and Michael's heart nearly stopped. The roar died away only to be succeeded by another roar from the opposite direction. Stella woke up crying. Michael was too deeply frightened so to soothe himself, as he sat clutching the pointed ears of the grey pillow. Stella, feeling that the fretful tears of a sudden awakening were insufficient, set up a bellow of dismay. Michael was motionless, only aware of a gigantic heart that shook him horribly. At last the footsteps of Nurse could be heard, and over them, the quick 'tut- tut-tuts' that voiced her irritation. "You naughty boy, to wake up your little sister." "What was that noise?" asked Michael. "Your own noise," said Nurse sharply. "It wasn't. It was lions." "And if it was lions, what next?" said Nurse. "Lions will always come, when little boys are naughty. Lions don't like naughty boys." "Michael doesn't like lions." He took refuge in the impersonal speech of earlier days, and with a grave obstinacy of demeanour resisted the unreasonableness of his nurse. "What was that noise, Nanny? Do tell me." "Why a train, of course. There's a molly-coddle. Tut-tut!" "A train like we rode in from down in the country?" "Yes, a train like we rode in from down in the country!" Nurse mimicked him in an outrageous falsetto. "Not lions at all?" "Not if you're a good boy." "Nor bears--nor tigers--nor wolverines?" The last was a dreadful importation of fancy from some zoological gift- book. "Now that's enough," Nurse decided. "Nor laughing hyenas?" "Am I to speak to you again? As if there wasn't enough to do without children why-why-whying morning, noon and night." Michael recognized finality of argument. The mention of morning, noon and night with their dreary suggestion of the infinite and unattainable plunged him into silence. Nurse, gratified by her victory and relieved to find that Stella was crooning happy mysteries to a rag doll, announced that she was prepared in return for the very best behaviour to push the two cots against the window. This done, she left the children to their first survey of London airs, to silent wonder amid the cheeping of countless sparrows. Stella sat blinking at the light and the sailing clouds. She soon began to chant her saga. Primitive and immemorial sounds flowed from that dewy mouth; melodies and harmonies, akin to the day itself, voiced the progress of the clouds; and while she told her incommunicable delight there was actually no one to say 'Stella, will you stop that 'umming?' Michael could not compete with his sister in her interpretation of the clouds' courses. He had, indeed, tried once or twice; but Stella either stopped abruptly, leaving him to lag for a while with a lame tune of his own, or else she would burst into tears. Michael preferred an inspiration more immediately visual to Stella's incomprehensibly boundless observations. Michael would enjoy holding in his hand a bunch of blue cornflowers; Stella would tear them to pieces, not irritably, but absently in a seclusion of spacious visions. On this occasion Michael paid no attention to Stella's salutation of light; he was merely thankful she showed no sign of wishing to be amused by 'peep-bo,' or by the pulling of curious faces. Both these diversions were dangerous to Michael's peace of mind, because at some period of the entertainment he was bound, with disastrous results, to cross the line between Stella's joy and Stella's fear. Michael turned to look out of the window, finding the details of the view enthralling. He marked first of all the long row of poplar trees already fresh and vivid with young May's golden green. Those trees, waving with their youthfulness in the wind, extended as far as could be observed on either side. Three in every garden were planted close to the farthest wall. How beautiful they looked, and how the sparrows hopped from branch to branch. Michael let his eyes rove along the pleasant green line whose slightness and evenness caressed the vision, as velvet might have caressed a hand running lightly over the surface. Suddenly, with a sharp emotion of shame, Michael perceived that the middle tree opposite his own window was different from the rest. It was not the same shape; it carried little blobs such as hang from tablecloths and curtains; it scarcely showed a complete leaf. Here was a subject for speculation indeed; and the more Michael looked at the other trees, the more he grew ashamed for the loiterer. This problem would worry him interminably: he would return to it often and often. But the exquisite pleasure he had taken in the trim and equable row was gone; for as soon as the eye caressed it, there was this intolerably naked tree to affront all regularity. After the trees, Michael examined the trellis that extended along the top of a stuccoed wall without interruption on either side. This trellis was a curiosity, for if he looked at it very hard, the lozenges of space came out from their frame and moved about in a blur--an odd business presumably inexplicable for evermore like everything else. Beyond the trellis was the railway; and while Michael was looking a signal shot down, a distant roar drew near, and a real train rumbled past which, beheld from Michael's window, looked like a toy train loaded with dolls, one of whom wore a red tam-o'-shanter. Michael longed to be sitting once again in that moving wonderland and to be looking out of the window, himself wearing just such another red tam-o'-shanter. Beyond the railway was surely a very extraordinary place indeed, with mountains of coal everywhere and black figures roaming about; and beyond this, far far away, was a very low line of houses with a church steeple against an enormous sky. "Dinner-time! Tut-tut," said Nurse, suddenly bustling into the room to interrupt Stella's saga and Michael's growing dread of being left alone in that wilderness beyond the railway lines. "Could I be left there?" he asked. "Left where?" "There." He pointed to the coal-yard. "Don't point!" said Nurse. "What is that place?" "The place where coal comes from." "Could I be left there?" he persisted. "Not unless one of the coalmen came over the wall and carried you off and left you there, which he will do unless you're a good boy." Michael caught his breath. "Can coalmen climb?" he asked, choking at the thought. "Climb like kittens," said Nurse. A new bogey had been created, black and hairy with yellow cat's eyes and horrid prehensile arms. Michael and Stella were now lifted out of the cots and dumped on to the cold oilcloth and marched into the adjacent bathroom, where their faces and hands were sponged with a new sponge that was not only rough in itself, but also had something that scratched buried in one of the pores.

ABSTRACT This is a study of David Lodge's campus novels: The British Museum is Falling Down, Changing Places , Small World and Nice Work. Unlike most previous studies of Lodge's work, which have focussed on literary-theoretical issues, this dissertation aims at unravelling some of the ideological impulses that inform his campus fiction. A basic assumption of this study is that literature is never disinterested; it is always an ideological statement about the world. Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the dialogical relationship between self and other provides a means of investigating the interaction between author and reader; central to this project is Bakhtin’s notion of how to reach an independent, ideological consciousness through the active scrutiny of the authoritative discourses surrounding us.

  • Women's University Fiction, 1880-1945
    Alberta Journal of Educational Research, Vol. 61.2, Summer 2015, 250-254 Book Review Women’s University Fiction, 1880-1945 Anna Bogen London: Pickering & Chatto, 2014 Reviewed by: Jennifer Helgren University of the Pacific In Women’s University Fiction, 1880-1945, Anna Bogen sets out to challenge interpretations of women’s university fiction as flat or failed. Her sophisticated literary analysis of early 20th- century university fiction, or coming-of-age fiction within the Oxbridge (University of Oxford in Oxford, England, and University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England) setting, adds to our understanding of women’s place in the university and demonstrates how gender affects genre. Bogen sees university fiction as a particular subgenre of Bildungsroman in which the main character reaches self-realization and an independent subject position through education. Comparing men’s and women’s novels, Bogen argues that women’s exclusion from the center of university life made it difficult for women authors to comfortably fit their narratives into the traditional Bildungsroman structure. However, rather than jettison the genre, women authors used it to expose women’s marginality in the university and in the process, exposed the genre’s tensions. Bogen’s texts include those that received critical analyses, such as Compton Mackenzie’s foundational Sinister Street (1913), Virginia Woolf’s “A Woman’s College from the Outside” (1926), and Rosamond Lehmann’s Dusty Answer (1927) as well as texts that many critics ignored. Bogen’s book complements Elaine Showalter’s Faculty Towers: The Academic Novel and Its Discontents (2005), an examination of university fiction after World War II, but it is the first sustained analysis of early 20th-century women’s university fiction in England.

  • The Nerevarine Chronicles
    The Nerevarine Chronicles Peace and Prosperity The kingdom of Avalon had existed for nearly a millennium, enjoying peace and prosperity for many of those centuries. In the ebb and flow of time, the races of Avalon united when necessary to converge on a common foe. For the most part, however the dwarves and elves tended to themselves and let the humans, with their shorter life spans, micro-manage the kingdom. As was the custom among humans at the time, people were addressed first by their surname and then their given name. The family name had taken precedence some generations prior, when the Great Houses of Northwind took prominence. Each ruling family was designated as House so-and-so. It did not take long for the custom to trickle out to the human rulers in Dai-Rynn and Dormack. The Great Houses were sometimes referenced by the family crest. House Dagoth, who were worshippers of Pelor, sported a rising sun above a sword, and was commonly called the Sun-and-Sword. House Indoril was called the Moon-and-Star, after their crest, which resembled a tiny slice of the night sky. House Indoril followed Heironeous and the origin of their crest remains a mystery. After the events surrounding the Nerevarine Prophecies, however, this all but ended. Family names were held with honor and pride, but took no more importance over the individual than they had prior. The Great Houses stopped referring to each other as such and that era was left in the wake of these unfortunate events to fade only into the annals of history.

  • LL-L5R Rules.Pdf
    A few months ago, the Empress of Rokugan’s third child, Iweko Miaka, came of age. This instantly made her the most eligible maiden in the Empire, and prominent samurai from every clan and faction have set out to court her. Of course, in Rokugan marriage is a matter of duty and politics far more often than love, but the personal affection of a potential spouse can be a very effective tool in marriage negotiations. And when that potential spouse is an Imperial princess, her affection can be more influential than any number of political favors. 2 Of course, winning a princess’ heart is hardly an easy task in the tightly- monitored world of the Imperial Palace. The preferred tool of courtly romance in Rokugan is the letter, and every palace’s corridors are filled with the soft steps of servants carrying letters back and forth. But such letters can be intercepted by rivals or turned away by hostile guards. For a samurai to succeed in his suit, he will have to find ways of getting his own letters into Miaka’s hands – while blocking the similar efforts of rival suitors. 3 Object In the wake of many recent tragic events, Empress Iweko I has sought to bring a note of joy back to the Imperial City, Toshi Ranbo, by announcing the gempukku (coming- of-age) of her youngest child and only daughter, Iweko Miaka. Prominent samurai throughout the Imperial City have immediately started to court the Imperial princess, whose hand in marriage would be a prize beyond price in Rokugan.

    BOOK REVIEWS The Rural Tradition: a Study of the Non-Fiction Prose Writers of the English Countryside. By W.J. Keith. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1974. Pp. xiv, 310. $15.00. Thirteen years ago, a young university teacher and novelist enquired what I had done my recently completed Ph.D. dissertation on; and when I told him it was on George Sturt and English rural labouring life, he asked if 1 was joking. I could see why. On the face of it, writers like Sturt or Richard Jefferies - assuming one knew of them at all - were simply not the kind whose non-fiction about rural life demanded academic treatment. They wrote about relatively uncomplicated beings and doings, in lucid and unostentatious prose. There were no metaphysical depths to sound in them, no paradoxes to tease out, no striking historical obscurities to elucidate. Their works did not belong in any obvious genre, and there had been no significant critical controversies about them. Yet these very qualities could make such writers peculiarly interesting to work on if one was moved by them and wanted to find out why. 1n 1965, W.J. Keith gave us the first academic book on Richard Jefferies, based in part on an MA. thesis of his own. It was a very decent piece of work, unmarred by special pleading or a self-servingly ingenious discovery of non-existent complexities, and it was well calculated to get Jefferies taken seriously by readers ignorant of, or prejudiced against, the important review-article on hirp by Q.D. Leavis in Scrutiny (1938).
