  • The Just William Series of Books Was Born Richmal Crompton Lamburn in 1890
    PEPYS JUST WILLIAM CARD GAME Comments about the cards in the game Richmal Crompton who wrote the Just William series of books was born Richmal Crompton Lamburn in 1890. She was the daughter of a clergyman and became a schoolmistress in 1914. She gave up teaching because she had begun to write part time in 1919 and was successful, so she decided to make it her full time job. She was very active in the Women’s Suffrage movement. Unfortunately she contracted poliomyelitis in 1923 and as a result she lost all use of her left leg and became confined to a wheelchair. She never married. The very first William story was published in Home Magazine and was entitled “Rice Mould Pudding”. The books about William were very popular and she wrote a total of 38 in all. Her other books also sold well and she wrote 41 adult novels, which she considered to be her main work, and another 9 books of short stories. All the William series were collections of short stories and they sold over 12 million copies in the UK alone. The illustrator of the William books was Thomas Henry Fisher (known as Thomas Henry) who illustrated Richmal Crompton’s books from 1919. Strangely, he never met her until 1954. He was also well known for his cartoons for Punch and London Opinion from 1945 to 1952. The very popular radio series of 1948 was broadcast on Children’s Hour by the BBC with David Spenser playing William and the stuck up Hubert Lane played by Charles Hawtry.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} William the Fourth (Just William #4) by Richmal Crompton ISBN 13: 9780333662281. There is only one William. The loveable imp and his band of Outlaws have been harassing his unfortunate family and delighting hundreds of thousands of readers for years. Here, William invents a water race where competitors have to run with a mouth full of water, without swallowing it or spitting it out. It's just a shame he doesn't have time to think before speaking to (and drenching!) Mrs. Adolphus Crane during the race! "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Richmal Crompton, who wrote the original Just William stories, was born in Lancashire in 1890. In all, thirty-eight William books were published, the last one in 1970, after Richmal Crompton’s death. Martin Jarvis, who has adapted the stories in this book for younger readers, first discovered Just William when he was nine years old. He made his first adaptation of a William story for BBC radio in 1973 and since then his broadcast readings have become classics in their own right. Martin is an award-winning actor who has appeared in numerous stage plays, television series and films. Richmal Crompton. Richmal Crompton Lamburn (15 November 1890 – 11 January 1969) was initially trained as a schoolmistress but later became a popular English writer, best known for her Just William series of books, humorous short stories, and to a lesser extent adult fiction books.

Hairy 16 wolves and bears, slimy snakes and frogs, or even ogres partake of the hero- 17 ines’ confrontations with the—male—Other. Following Bruno Bettelheim, psy- 18 choanalytical analyses generally posit that beasts function as veiled symbols 19 representing sexuality that children must initially experience as disgusting be- 20 fore they reach maturity and discover its beauty. In contrast to such views, 21 Jack Zipes argues that children’s instinctual drives are “conditioned and largely 22 determined through interaction and interplay with the social environment” 23 (Fairy Tales 32–33). As a consequence, fairy tales are inevitably shaped by the 24 historical period in which they are published and must be viewed through a 25 sociopolitical lens. Indeed, many historians and literary critics envisage fairy 26 tales as documents marked by social and economic conditions.

  • Nineteenth-Century Girls and Authorship: Adolescent Writing, Appropriation, and Their Representation in Literature, C
    Nineteenth-Century Girls and Authorship: Adolescent Writing, Appropriation, and their Representation in Literature, c. 1860–1900. Lois Margaret Burke A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy June 2019 Abstract During the final decades of the nineteenth century girls’ culture flourished. As recent scholarship has shown, this culture pivoted on an engagement with fiction and particularly the periodical press. Magazines such as the Girl’s Own Paper and the Monthly Packet provided spaces where girls could benefit from being part of a larger network of contributors. The reciprocal reading and writing culture accessed through periodicals epitomised the experience of a creative and intellectual adolescence for many girls during the late-Victorian era. This thesis explores a discrete girls’ culture that was also cultivated in diaries and circulated manuscript magazines during this period. As these writings were shared with family or peers respectively, they can be viewed as tools of socialisation or ‘apprenticeships’ in writing, as well as in girlhood. Yet girls’ writings were also sites of resistance; in responding to the model literary and print culture in which they were immersed, girls cultivated an autonomous writing culture which hinged on strategies of adaptation and appropriation. Sociological theories of youth culture have demonstrated that young people actively contribute to cultural reproduction and change. When combined with theories of literary appropriation in this thesis, these insights shed light on the specific types of authorship which reflect girls’ simultaneous participation in and exclusion from a dynamic literary and print culture. This thesis analyses the development of girls’ literary culture in the late-Victorian manuscript writings.
