  • “'Comfort History': Settling the Unsettled Past in Kate Grenville's
    Published in: New Alleyways to Significance: Interdisciplinary Approaches to English Studies, ed. Alejandra Moreno Álvarez & Irene Pérez Fernández (Palma: Universitat de les Illes Balears, 2015), pp. 157-176. Status: Postprint (Author’s version) “‘Comfort History’: Settling the Unsettled Past in Kate Grenville’s Colonial Trilogy” Houda Joubail “Over the past fifteen years”, as Kenneth Gelder and Paul Salzman point out, “historical fiction has dominated the Australian literary landscape, just as the so-called history wars have dominated debates about ‘Australian’ identity and its cultural and historical origins” (2009: 64). Indeed, a significant number of historical novels has been recently produced, suggesting that contemporary settler Australian writers are haunted by the ghosts of the country’s violent past. While some concerned scholars perceive this surge of historical fiction as a threat to any scientific discourse about national history, others have hailed it as evidence of settler novelists’ determination to engage and come to grips with the legacies of colonization. Accordingly, arguments such as the ones advocated by historian Mark McKenna, who believes that, “in Australia, a country ... in which history that is critical of the nation struggles to be heard above the constant din of national self-congratulation, we need to resist any tendency to embrace historical fiction as a substitute national history” (2006b: 110). These conflict with the views of literary critics such as Amanda Johnson who “writes ... in defence of historical novels dealing with ‘Australian’ themes, championing not only the ‘logic of the novel’ but also the idea of the novelist as a kind of resilient historiographic fool within the archive” (2011: 2).

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the mateiial submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES
    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES O achieve any depth or spread in an article attempt• ing to cover the whole gamut of New Zealand writing * must be deemed to be a New Zealand madman's dream, but I wonder if it would be so difficult for people overseas, particularly in other parts of the Commonwealth. It would appear to them, perhaps, that two or three rather good poets have emerged from these islands. So good, in fact, that their appearance in any anthology of Common• wealth poetry would make for a matter of rather pleasurable comment and would certainly not lower the general stand• ard of the book. I'll come back to these two or three poets presently, but let us first consider the question of New Zealand's prose writers. Ah yes, we have, or had, Kath• erine Mansfield, who died exactly fifty years ago. Her work is legendary — her Collected Stories (Constable) goes from reprint to reprint, and indeed, pirate printings are being shovelled off to the priting mills now that her fifty year copyright protection has run out. But Katherine Mansfield never was a "New Zealand writer" as such. She left early in the piece. But how did later writers fare, internationally speaking? It was Janet Frame who first wrote the long awaited "New Zealand Novel." Owls Do Cry was published in 1957. A rather cruel but incisive novel, about herself (everyone has one good novel in them), it centred on her own childhood experiences in Oamaru, a small town eighty miles north of Dunedin -— a town in which rough farmers drove sheep-shit-smelling American V-8 jalopies inexpertly down the main drag — where the local "bikies" as they are now called, grouped in vociferous RECENT NEW ZEALAND WRITING 17 bunches outside the corner milk bar.

  • Cultural Production in Andrea Levy's Small Island Author: Alicia E
    ENTERTEXT Identity as Cultural Production in Andrea Levy's Small Island Author: Alicia E. Ellis Source: EnterText, “Special Issue on Andrea Levy 9,” (2012): 69-83. Abstract Andrea Levy's Small Island (2004) presents a counter-history of the period before and after World War II (1939-1945) when men and women from the Caribbean volunteered for all branches of the British armed services and many eventually immigrated to London after the war officially ended in 1945. Her historical novel moves back and forth between 1924 and 1948 as well as across national borders and cultures. Levy’s novel, written more than fifty years after the first Windrush arrival, creates a common narrative of nation and identity in order to understand the experiences of Black people in Britain. Small Island—structured around four competing voices whose claims of textual, personal and historical truth must be acknowledged—refuses to establish a singular articulation of the experience of migration and empire. In this essay, I focus on discrete moments in the “Prologue” in Levy’s Small Island in order to think through the formation of discursive identity through the encounter with others and the necessity of accommodating difference. Small Island forecloses the possibility of addressing modern multiculturalism as a purported ‘happy ending’ in light of Levy’s formulation of the Windrush moment as disruptive, violent, and overwhelmed by flawed characters. Yet, through the space of writing, she also invites the reader to experience moments of encounter and negotiate the often competing claims on nationhood, citizenship, and culture. Identity as Cultural Production in Andrea Levy's Small Island Alicia E.

  • Pi-Vi Intro Etc
    Introduction Who else writes like …? seeks to help anyone who enjoys reading fiction to expand the number of writers that they read. It is designed to address the dilemma one faces when, having exhausted the output from a particular author, one ponders – “What shall I read next?” The book lists over 1,800 authors, and with each name suggests others who write in a similar way. The number of alternative authors listed for each entry is between three and twelve. Alternative ways of finding suitable reading are through the index of genres, or the list of prize winners at the back of the book. There is also an index to characters in fiction as well as a list of further reading, which includes some useful websites and other fiction guides. The entry for each author offers copious detail to help make a choice. The basis for the initial selection of authors continues to be the most popular according to the Public Lending Right lists, with additions suggested by a number of professional librarians from England, Scotland and Wales. In the main, authors are only included when they have three books to their name and when their novels are easily obtainable from bookshops and libraries. Inclusion is therefore determined by a mixture of objective and subjective criteria. Inevitably some cherished favourites may be omitted as a result, and for this we are sorry. This is the fourth edition of what has now become an established tool for readers and those advising readers in their quest to derive the utmost pleasure from fiction.

  • Christchurch Writers' Trail
    The Christch~rch Writers' Trail I The Christchurch c 3 mitersy&ai1 Page 1 Introduction 2 Writers Biographies Lady Barker e Canterbury Settlement, right from 1850, was notable for its exalted ideals. The @settlement's early colonists lugged ashore libraries, musical instruments, paints, Samuel Butler William Pember Reeves easels and plans for a grammar school and university. Within the first decade they Edith Grossmann started a newspaper, founded choral and orchestral societies, staged plays and Jessie Mackay started a public library. A surprising number of these pioneers were competent Arnold Wall writers. The published memoirs, letters, journals and poetry left by Charlotte Godley, Blanche Bau han Edward and Crosbie Ward, James FitzGerald, Henry Sewell, Sarah Courage, Laurence Johannes An 8ersen Kennaway, Lady Barker, Samuel Butler and other "pilgrims" established a robust Mary Ursula Bethell literary tradition in Canterbury, particularly in non-fiction and poetry. From the Alan Mulgan 1930s to the early 1950s, during Denis Glover's association with The Caxton Press, Esther Glen Oliver Duff Christchurch was indisputably the focal point of New Zealand's artistic life. The N~aioMarsh town's cultural and literary importance - about 280 writers are listed in this booklet D Arcy Cresswell in a record which is by no means definitive - continues to this day. Monte Holcroft James Courage The Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors has, with generous Allen Curnow assistance from The Community Trust, now laid 32 writers' plaques in various parts Essie Summers of Christchurch. It is hoped that the process begun in 1997 of thus honouring the Denis Glover literary talent of our town and province, will long continue.

  • Redalyc. Pós-Colonialismo E Representação Feminina Na
    Acta Scientiarum. Human and Social Sciences ISSN: 1679-7361 [email protected] Universidade Estadual de Maringá Brasil Bonnici, Thomas Pós-colonialismo e representação feminina na literatura pós - colonial em inglês Acta Scientiarum. Human and Social Sciences, vol. 28, núm. 1, 2006, pp. 13-25 Universidade Estadual de Maringá Maringá, Brasil Available in: http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=307324792003 Abstract Feminine characters in recent post -colonial novels Crossing the River (1993) by Caryl Phillips; Fruit of the Lemon (1999) and Small Island (2004) by Andrea Levy; Disgrace (1999) by J.M. Coetzee; The Pickup (2001) by Nadine Gordimer; and Purple Hibiscus (2003) by Chimamanda Adichie are analyzed. Research verifies whether w ithin contemporary feminism common clues and significant differences exist in the representation of females by authors writing in English from several post -colonial societies. Methodology is based on theoretical texts on power, voice, agency, alterity and resistance, which have been developed by Ashcroft, Bhabha, Said, Spivak, Todorov and others. Results show that the above - mentioned novels still maintain a patriarchal framework to describe women¿s condition even though a constant struggle exists so that sh e may be or become an agent in the society in which she lives. All novelists reveal that a broad -notion resistance is already achieved, even though it may be paradoxically characterized as positive and ambiguous. In spite of great advances in female agency, residues of colonial inheritance, endemic patriarchy in African and Caribbean societies, contemporary diasporas and conditions originating from globalization and attempts at suppressing multiculturalism still exist and must be resisted.
