  • The Contemporary English Country House Novel After 2000
    Resurgence and Renovation: The Contemporary English Country House Novel after 2000 Submitted for examination for the degree of Ph.D. in English Literature by Barbara Williams 080782814 School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics Newcastle University August 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the resurgence of the English country house novel since 2000 as part of the growing popularity of the country house setting in contemporary British culture. In the context of economic recession, growing English nationalism, and a Conservative-led government accused of producing a ‘Downton Abbey-style society’, country house texts are often dismissed as nostalgic for a conservative social order. This study reclaims the English country house novel from this critical dismissal, stressing the genre’s political ambivalence. While readings of the country house resurgence are mostly played out through the media’s reaction to television programmes, my research provides a detailed and comparative examination of literary texts currently missing from the debate. I situate Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001), Sally Beauman’s Rebecca’s Tale (2001), Toby Litt’s Finding Myself (2003), Wesley Stace’s Misfortune (2005), Diane Setterfield’s The Thirteenth Tale (2006), Sarah Waters’s The Little Stranger (2009), and Alan Hollinghurst’s The Stranger’s Child (2011) within a wider body of discourse on the country house, exploring the contemporary relevance and cultural value of the setting. It is my contention that the English country house novel self-consciously negotiates its growing popularity in contemporary culture. In chapter one, I argue that the recent shift from material to textual inheritance in the genre is a way of reclaiming voices traditionally excluded from the canonical house of fiction.

  • Finding Home
    Finding Home Lauren Westwood To mom and dad – with love and thanks - Part One - The cup of tea on arrival at a country house is a thing which, as a rule, I particularly enjoy. I like the crackling logs, the shaded lights, the scent of buttered toast, the general atmosphere of leisured cosiness. ~ PG Wodehouse – The Code of the Woosters ‘Is Thornfield Hall a ruin? Am I severed from you by insuperable obstacles? Am I leaving you without a tear— without a kiss—without a word?’ ~ Charlotte Brontë – Jane Eyre 1 Prologue October, London, NW— On paper, the flat looks perfect. I rummage in my bag and uncrumple the printout of the particulars. The blurb describes it as a ‘bolthole’, ‘with lots of potential’ in an ‘up-and-coming area’, ‘close to transport’. However, in the short time that I’ve been flat-hunting, I’ve learned that 'estateagentspeak’ is a whole different language from the Queen’s English. I’m pretty sure that ‘bolthole’ means tiny, and ‘lots of potential’ means bad plumbing, a grotty kitchen, and no central heating. The ‘up-and-coming area’ means no Starbucks for miles, and the blister on my heel is testament to the fact that ‘close to transport’ means that in the wilds of Zone 3, the Tube is a twenty-minute walk, but you can park a car in the street without a resident’s permit. I double-check the map and put the papers back in my bag. After walking for miles down the busy road from the Tube, I’m finally getting closer to the arrow that marks Thornton Gardens.

  • Read More About Our History
    Evelyn Waugh described Hintlesham without ever seeing it. He confessed, through Charles Ryder in Brideshead Revisited: 'More even than the work of the great architects, I loved buildings that grew silently with the centuries, catching and keeping the best of each generation, while time curbed the artist's pride and the Philistine's vulgarity, and repaired the clumsiness THE HOUSE AND ITS ASSOCIATIONS of the dull workman.' This is the way Hintlesham has grown: the hall, the church, and the tree-shaded village, approached over the undulations of the steep little valleys that drop to the Orwell estuary at Ipswich. At Hintlesham, thoughts of Brideshead seem particularly appropriate, for the Hall was entirely rebuilt in the 1570s as the chief home of the Timperley family, whose inability to move with the times – from the Roman church of medieval England into the Church of England under Elizabeth I - led to heavy fines and the penalties of exclusion from local affairs. The Timperleys continued to live at Hintlesham until the end of the age of the Stuarts, and though they may have been at odds with political society, they seem to have remained on very good terms with the villagers, mostly people who were their tenants. The approach from the village, and the old Ipswich Hadleigh road, is very informal beside a small lodge. The park was never a As I turn in off the old road, with its rather dangerous bend, I stately affair, to judge from a closely-detailed survey of the sometimes find myself thinking how the new Hall was probably manor and tenements 'mapped and made by Thomas Wright' in topped out in about the year 1579, the year Queen Elizabeth I 1595.
