Biographical Sketch Born in London, England, Roy Daniells emigrated to Victoria, B.C. with his family in 1910. He received a B.A. from University of British Columbia (1930) before continuing his graduate education in English at the University of Toronto (M.A., 1931 and Ph.D., 1936). After serving as head of the Department of English at the University of Manitoba, Daniells came to UBC in 1946. He became head of the department following the retirement of G.G. Sedgewick in 1948 and continued in this position until 1965. At that time, he was named the first University Professor of English Language and Literature. Daniells authored two volumes of poetry and wrote extensively on Canadian literature. He is best known for his studies of seventeenth century English literature, particularly the work of John Milton. He died in 1979. Scope and Content Fonds consists of Daniells' personal and professional incoming and outgoing correspondence, diaries, speeches, radio broadcasts, manuscripts, poetry, subject files, research files, postcards and postcard collections, clippings, financial records, audio material, photographs, memorabilia and printed material. Also included are the records of Roy's parents, James and Constance Daniells. The correspondence series contains thousands of letters from major literary figures such as Earle Birney, Robert Finch, Desmond Pacey, Northrop Frye, Herbert Davis, E.K. Brown, A.S.P. Woodhouse, as well as writers, poets, and artists such as Paul Hiebert (Sara Binks), Carol Coates, Max Maynard, Jack Shadbolt and others. His own works are represented by manuscripts of his poetry, fiction, drama, scholarly work on Milton and modernism and Canadian literature, speeches and broadcasts, autobiography, diaries, and many letters to his family. The fonds also contains letters of sympathy received by Daniells’ family after his death. Notes Title based on the contents of the fonds. Donated to University Archives by Laurenda Daniells, in December 1990. File 49-4a (Correspondence with Reg Ingram) donated by Doreen Ingram in October 1990. Some materials were vandalised in a burglary prior to being transferred to the Archives, and it was not possible in all cases to restore the original order. File list available. More extensive biographical and scope notes are available in the "hard copy" version of this file list. Series Descriptions Correspondence series. – 1908-1980. 1.72 m of textual records. Series consists chiefly of incoming correspondence with a few carbon copies or manuscript copies of outgoing correspondence interspersed. The material is arranged in chronological order by year. Daniells' life integrated personal, scholarly and academic work and the correspondence reflects this. First names or nicknames have been used if the writer is unidentified. For ease of use most of the letters from Daniells' parents have been separated from the rest of the correspondence but kept within the yearly chronology. The Coates-Cassidy correspondence which was originally with this series has been removed because of the fragility of the materials and grouped with other Coates-Cassidy materials. For reasons of privacy some correspondence has been restricted for a short time period. There are also letters in other series including speech, broadcast, subject, student records, research, and miscellaneous series. Biographical Materials series. – 1897-1979. 12 cm of textual records. Series consists of biographical information and memorabilia compiled by Daniells about himself and members of his family. Materials include genealogies, CVs, academic records, appointment notices, passports, certificates, and articles. Journals and Diaries series. – 1921-1978. 19 cm of textual records. Series consists of journals and diaries kept regularly by Daniells from 1921 till two days before his death. Included in most of the years are simple accounts of daily activities and cash accounts. In some years, particularly in the 1930s, there are more intimate details of emotions and anxieties. Programs, invitations etc. which were kept with the diaries have been left in place (except for those disturbed by vandalism). Daniells' parents also kept regular diaries which record most of the events of his life prior to 1921 when his own diary keeping began. Speeches series. – 1939-1978. 42 cm of textual records. Series consists of speeches given by Daniells to clubs, teachers' organizations etc. From 1939 on he kept many of his notes and addresses. He sometimes kept the correspondence relating to the requested talk filed with the talk itself or in his general correspondence. In some cases the addresses or lectures which were part of a larger occasion may be found in subject files rather than in this series. Page numbers (not always noted) refer to the manuscript or typescript only. Broadcasts series. – 1940-1979. 8 cm. of textual records. Series consists of scripts of radio broadcasts, chiefly from the nineteen forties and fifties. Most of Daniells' broadcasts were done for the CBC and were carried nationally. The scripts were generally retained by the CBC and Daniells kept only a small selection of them. Manuscripts - Poetry series. – 1920-1979. 12 cm of textual records. Series consists of poetry manuscripts by Daniells, in various styles. Daniells published two volumes of poetry and poems in many different journals. However, in spite of requests from publishers and friends, he did not publish, or try to publish, the majority of his poetry. His work falls in several different categories. His serious poems were traditional both in subject matter and form. He wrote a considerable amount of religious verse, love poetry and also (latterly) poems about the environment. He enjoyed writing what he described as "occasional verse" and was frequently asked to do so by his colleagues and friends. In addition he wrote, with lightning speed, small limericks and verses which he threw away but were often gathered up by others and returned. Materials in this series were vandalised in a burglary prior to being transferred to the Archives and it was not possible to restore the original order. A rough chronological order has been attempted but if verses were found in folders together, apparently in an order established by Daniells, they have been left together. During the burglary some of Daniells' teaching materials were mixed in with his own poetry, and it is possible that even after processing a few may still be in this series. Manuscripts - Prose series. – 1930-1979. 54 cm of textual records. Series consists of prose manuscripts. Daniells customarily wrote first drafts in long hand, second drafts were usually typed. Revisions were often made by cutting and pasting. Files were frequently kept under the name of the person or journal for whom the work was being done. The first part of the series includes university essays, articles for periodicals, contributions to books etc., as well as a short piece which he wrote a few hours before his death as a farewell statement. The second part consists of drafts, in manuscript and typescript, of Milton, Mannerism and Baroque and the completed, but not revised, manuscript of Daniells' planned book on mannerism in English literature. Subject Files series. – 1948-1979. 1.02 m of textual records. Series consists of correspondence, notes, published materials, and other materials containing what Daniells considered useful information. Up until 1972 he weeded these files fairly frequently, incorporating the correspondence into his correspondence files, leaving only cumulative files. Post-1972 they were weeded less often. Files are arranged alphabetically by subject - oversized materials are filed separately. Teaching Material series. – 1957-1976. 25 cm of textual records. Series consists of summaries of courses which were sent to students in the courses; class lists and marks; individual student files containing correspondence, exams, and marks; a sampling of Daniells' lectures. After his retirement he weeded these records out extensively. The few samples that remain

    The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock

    Transoceanic Canada: The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock by Matthew Hiebert B.A., The University of Winnipeg, 1997 M.A., The University of Amsterdam, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) The University Of British Columbia (Vancouver) August 2013 c Matthew Hiebert, 2013 ABSTRACT Through a critical examination of his oeuvre in relation to his transoceanic geographical and intellectual mobility, this dissertation argues that George Woodcock (1912-1995) articulates and applies a normative and methodological approach I term “regional cosmopolitanism.” I trace the development of this philosophy from its germination in London’s thirties and forties, when Woodcock drifted from the poetics of the “Auden generation” towards the anti-imperialism of Mahatma Gandhi and the anarchist aesthetic modernism of Sir Herbert Read. I show how these connected influences—and those also of Mulk Raj Anand, Marie-Louise Berneri, Prince Peter Kropotkin, George Orwell, and French Surrealism—affected Woodcock’s critical engagements via print and radio with the Canadian cultural landscape of the Cold War and its concurrent countercultural long sixties. Woodcock’s dynamic and dialectical understanding of the relationship between literature and society produced a key intervention in the development of Canadian literature and its critical study leading up to the establishment of the Canada Council and the groundbreaking journal Canadian Literature. Through his research and travels in India—where he established relations with the exiled Dalai Lama and major figures of an independent English Indian literature—Woodcock relinquished the universalism of his modernist heritage in practising, as I show, a postcolonial and postmodern situated critical cosmopolitanism that advocates globally relevant regional culture as the interplay of various traditions shaped by specific geographies.

IRWIN Opinion BY DONALD CAMERON A QUARTERLY OF CRITICISM AND R€VI€W SWARMING OF POETS An Editorial Reportage George Woodcock WHEN Canadian Literature began, twelve years ago, I promised that every boo! k oTHf Everse by a Canadian poet, as well as every novel published in this country, would be reviewed in its pages. It was an easy promise in a year—1959 — when twenty-four volumes of poetry were all that the bibliographer who compiled our checklist of publications could discover. All twenty-four, I believe, were duly reviewed. Through the Fifties, Northrop Frye, writing his yearly poetry article in the University of Toronto Quarterly, had been able to devote a few sentences or even a few paragraphs to every book of verse that appeared ; they came, in those days, mainly from the regular publishers, who lost money on good poets to give prestige to their lists. There were few small presses; amateur publishing hardly existed; the mimeograph revolution had not begun. The change since then was brought home to me with formidable emphasis on a recent morning when nineteen books of verse arrived for review in one mail delivery.

The essay’s successive chapters examine the lives and literary works of three understudied authors who held leadership positions in this critically unserious, fringe society: FES Symposiarch Alden Nowlan; the Society’s President Leo Ferrari; and its First Vice-President Gwendolyn MacEwen. Therefore, my project constitutes an act of recovery and reconstruction, bringing to light cultural work and literary connections that have largely faded from view. Chapters show how certain literary writings by Nowlan, Ferrari, or MacEwen directly or indirectly relate to their involvement with FES, making the Society an important part of their cultural work rather than a mere entertainment, distraction, or hoax.

    The Scholar Visionary: Malcolm Ross at Ninety

    MARY McGrLLIVRAY The Scholar Visionary: Malcolm Ross at Ninety HEN I FIRST HEARD of Malcolm Ross, I was a second-year W student here at Dalhousie. Malcolm Parks, my advisor, spoke so highly of Ross as a scholar and a teacher that I enrolled imme­ diately in Ross's course in Victorian liter<!ture. So I saw Malcolm Ross a few weeks after I'd heard of him. At the same time, I met him without his being there at all . When I was wandering the Shirreff Hall Library late one night, I picked up a novel I'd never read by a writer of whom I'd never heard: Tbe Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence. It was in paperl.Jack, one ur a series of which I'd also never heard. I had no idea Malcolm Ross had anything to do with the series, or with the writer, but the book grabbed me and I stayed up all night to finish it. In the space of a few weeks, in one case unwittingly, I'd encountered evidence of the several facets of the genius of a man whom I eventually came to see not only as a scholar, but as a kind of visionary. I came to see a man who enacted a vision and an idealism which have nur­ tured whole communities-communities of scholars, of writers, of artists and actors and teachers. Underlying this vision and idealism is his profound sense of what he has called "the hidden unifying force behind all things, forming and informing everything." 1 1 The text of this article is based on a lecture de li vered at Dalhousie University on 12 January 2001 to celebrate tv! alco lm Ross·s ninetieth birthday.

The Writers’ Union of Canada (1973) and Studies in Canadian Literature (1976) were motivated by a similar impulse. The 1970s financial crisis at McClelland and Stewart, then the major publisher of Canadian writing, threatened writers and readers alike and galvanized writers into forming a professional organization.1 As I recall, Desmond Pacey of the University of New Brunswick, a scholar, writer, and the established critic of Creative Writing in Canada: A Short History of English-Canadian Literature (1952), was one of the founding mem- bers of the Writers’ Union and, in the early 1970s, VP Academic at the university.

    ASPECTS OF HEROISM AND EVOLUTION IN SOrJlE POEMS BY E* Jm PRATT by Fred Mensch B.A., University of Lethbridge, 1968 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English @ FRED MENSCH 19'72 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY August 1972 APPROVAL Name : Fred Mensch Degree: Master of Arts Title of Thesis: Aspects of Heroism and Evolution in Some Poems by E.J. Pratt Examining Committee: Chairman: Dr. S .A. Black Dr. Sdidra'A. Djwa Senior Supervisor Prof. Gordon R. Elliott - -- Dr. Bruce H. hesbitt TI/DTG-.$t ephens Associate Professor of English University of British Columbia Vancouver, B .C . Date Approved : August 1, 1972 ABSTRACT A study of Pratt's poetry reveals heroism as existing only in relation to an evolutionary metaphor that shows organic life progressing from an amoral environment to an ever more differentiated society. Man is heroic if he can establish, in his opposition to the environment, an order that is based on ethics and a "brotherhood of man" as well as on strong, instinctual emotions that keep him aware--consciously or unconsciously-- of his evolutionary origins. If man loses this awareness he loses his sense of identification with nature and exists within the illusion that the environment can no longer seriously affect him. The cost of this illusion is destruction, because at some time man must confront his environment, and if he has no feeling for it "in the bloodw, he has no effective means of coping with it. The most significant factor defining heroism is the ability to integrate uninhibited emotion with ethical compassion.

    Terms Belonging to a Rival Theoretical Tradition. He Does Not Consider Whose Interests the Government of the Time and the Amulree Commission Represented

    78 BG STUDIES the "elite" and the "poor," terms belonging to a rival theoretical tradition. He does not consider whose interests the government of the time and the Amulree Commission represented. His critique of Piven and Cloward's thesis on how relief payments regulate and control workers is convincing, and one can read in his conclusion the need for a dialectical treatment of social policy and programs as an outcome of resistance and struggle. But a combination of class and gender analysis with an application of Conley's social reproduction framework could make for a better explanation of Overton's subject matter. It is worth emphasizing two inter-related themes in this timely book which can be usefully applied in future researches on class, gender, and region. One is the analysis of contradictory processes and their effects on consciousness-raising and collective action — e.g., Conley's emphasis on the contradiction between capital accumulation and workers' social repro­ duction. The other is the use of power by those ostensibly without it. University of Victoria RENNIE WARBURTON Ethel Wilson: Stories, Essays, and Letters, ed. David Stouck. Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 1987. Pp. xx, 260. The most diverting and memorable session of the 1981 Ethel Wilson Symposium in Ottawa was the screening of a 1955 CBC interview of Wilson by Roy Daniells, head of the University of British Columbia Eng­ lish Department. The film delighted the audience for what we perceived to be Wilson's sly and subversive use of a persona of intellectual modesty and genteel decorum to toy gently with the earnest, hapless Daniells.
