  • New Placement of a Woman in Tessa Hadley's Short Stories

    New Placement of a Woman in Tessa Hadley's Short Stories

    200 НОВОЕ ПРОШЛОЕ • THE NEW PAST • №4 2018 УДК 821.111 DOI: 10.23683/2500-3224-2018-4-200-207 NEW PLACEMENT OF A WOMAN IN TESSA HADLEY’S SHORT STORIES M.S. Berezhnaya Abstract. The article dwells on the spatial imagery reflecting modern women’s position nowadays in the short stories by a contemporary British writer, Tessa Hadley. Article deals with basic cultural metaphors which had shaped the discourse of women’s writing in Great Britain in the twentieth century: “angel in the house” and “a room of one’s own”. When exposing her heroine’s everyday life and ambitions, Hadley places her in different spaces so as to make them semantically significant. By means of comparing and contrasting Hadley purposefully constructs images of female space in order to highlight the complexity of her experience. While the image of a room of one’s own used to represent a set of crucial prerequisites for fulfilling women’s ambitions towards professional goals and financial independency it provides ontological status to female selves nowadays. The paper develops the idea that a complex set of social and psychological female values are embedded in the spatial constructions of Tessa Hadley’s stories. We identify different types of space configuration of material world which serve as metaphors to heroines’ selves, including metaphorical space of a room of one’s own. Keywords: Tessa Hadley, one’s own room, angel in the house, women writing, feminism, short story.

  • The Novels, Stories and Literary Journalism of Tessa Hadley

    The Novels, Stories and Literary Journalism of Tessa Hadley

    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: Bath Spa University Unit of assessment: UoA29: English Language and Literature Title of case study: The novels, stories and literary journalism of Tessa Hadley 1. Summary of the impact Tessa Hadley’s, novels and stories have reached a public audience, been listed for prizes, and led to prominent literary journalism, public debate, and appointments to prize-awarding panels. Hadley’s work is an example of the cultural and economic impact of the Creative Writing research community at BSU, which includes novelists, poets, dramatists and non-fiction writers, who have reached public audiences, contributed to public literary culture through journalism, broadcasting and award-judging, and contributed to the economic viability of publishing and related industries. Hadley exemplifies the strategy of using the research base to enhance the quality of published creative writing and literary debate. 2. Underpinning research Hadley was appointed in 1997 (having been a student on the MA in Creative Writing and taken a PhD at this institution). She has published five novels and two collections of stories. Accidents in the Home was published by Jonathan Cape in February 2002, and by Holt in the USA. Everything Will Be All Right was published by Holt in 2003, and Cape in 2004. The Master Bedroom was published by Cape and Holt in 2007. The London Train was published by Cape and Harper Collins in the USA in 2011. Hadley has stories published regularly in The New Yorker, Granta and The Guardian; a collection, Sunstroke and other Stories, was published in January 2007. A second collection, Married Love (2012), was longlisted for the Frank O'Connor prize and shortlisted for the Edge Hill Prize 2012.

    Phd Thesis English 001F the Only Voice

    PhD Thesis English 001F The Only Voice A creative and critical exploration of the modern short story in context, and the emergence of the author as an essential force John D Rutter 22403833 April 2017 Volume 2 of 2: Critical Analysis and Interviews 1 Abstract For a century, writers and critics have been debating the short story, yet there are few attempts at a definition beyond length and the suggestion that there is something mysterious about the form. Frank O’Connor identified loneliness as a defining characteristic in his seminal work, The Lonely Voice. I will argue that O’Connor’s idea is incomplete. I will also suggest that there is an essential influence from outside the text, specifically from the author. This thesis comprises two volumes; an original collection of short stories, Approval, and a critical analysis, The Only Voice, which focuses on the role of the author in short fiction and includes extensive interviews with four contemporary writers of short fiction. My intention is that the combination of research as a practitioner with in depth analysis of the literature and interrogation of the ideas of current writers will contribute to future discussion of the form. I will argue that the author responds to his or her circumstances, not only within a general social and political context, but in a personal and immediate way. Because the short time often taken to write the story, the author’s situation and feelings impact directly on the creative work. The author makes deliberate choices at the moment of writing about how to describe the world, and each has an unmistakable signature.

    Volume 90 Number 872 December 2008 The equal application of the laws of war: a principle under pressure Adam Roberts* Adam Roberts is Senior Research Fellow,Department of Politics and International Relations, Oxford University,Emeritus Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, and President-Elect of the British Academy. He was Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at Oxford University in 1986^2007. Abstract The ‘equal application’ principle is that in international armed conflicts, the laws of war apply equally to all who are entitled to participate directly in hostilities, irrespective of the justice of their causes. The principle, which depends on maintaining separation between jus ad bellum and jus in bello, faces serious challenges in contemporary armed conflicts and discourses. Some variations of the principle may be inevitable. However, it has a firm basis in treaties and in historical experience. It is the strongest practical basis that exists, or is likely to exist, for maintaining certain elements of moderation in war. The rival proposition – that the rights and obligations of combatants under the laws of war should apply in a fundamentally unequal manner, depending on which side is deemed to be the more justified – is unsound in conception, impossible to implement effectively and dangerous in its effects. * This article is a product of research under the auspices of the Oxford Leverhulme Research Programme on ‘The Changing Character of War’.

  • The London Train

    The London Train

    Reading Guide The London Train By Tessa Hadley ISBN: 9780062011831 Introduction Unsettled by the recent death of his mother, Paul sets out in search of Pia, his daughter from his first marriage, who has disappeared into the labyrinth of London. Discovering her pregnant and living illegally in a run-down council flat with a pair of Polish siblings, Paul is entranced by Pia's excitement at living on the edge. Abandoning his second wife and their children in Wales, he joins her to begin a new life in the heart of London. Cora, meanwhile, is running in the opposite direction, back to Cardiff, to the house she has inherited from her parents. She is escaping her marriage, and the constrictions and disappointments of her life in London. But there is a deeper reason why she cannot stay with her decent Civil Service husband'the aftershocks of which she hasn't fully come to terms with herself. Connecting both stories is the London train, and a chance meeting that will have immediate and far-reaching consequences for both Paul and Cora. Questions for Discussion 1. In the course of the novel, both Cora and Paul lose their mothers. How does this affect each of them, individually, and in what ways are their reactions different? How do their losses affect the next steps Cora and Paul take, and the choices they make, in their lives? 2. At the time that Paul reconnects with Pia, father and daughter are somewhat estranged. In what ways does Pia's new living arrangement provide her with a substitute family? In the end, Pia returns home.

    VINTAGE TESSA HADLEY the Past

    VINTAGE READING GUIDE TESSA HADLEY The Past About the Book Three sisters, a brother, and their children assemble at their country house. And as we all know, family holidays are rarely straightforward… These three weeks may be their last time there; the upkeep is prohibitive, and they may be forced to sell this beloved place filled with memories of their shared past (their mother took them there to live when she left their father). Sophisticated and sleek, Roland’s new wife (his third) arouses his sisters’ jealousies and insecu- rities. Kasim, the twenty-year-old son of Alice’s ex-boyfriend, becomes enchanted with Molly, Roland’s sixteen-year-old daughter. Fran’s young children make an unsettling discovery in a dilapidated cottage in the woods that shatters their innocence. Passion erupts where it’s least expected, levelling the quiet self-possession of Harriet, the eldest sister. Over the course of this summer holiday, the family’s stories and silences intertwine, small dis- turbances build into familial crises, and a way of life - bourgeois, literate, ritualised - winds down to its inevitable end. About the Author Tessa Hadley is the author of six highly praised novels, Accidents in the Home, which was short- listed for the Guardian First Book Award, Everything Will Be All Right, The Master Bedroom, The London Train, Clever Girl and The Past and two collections of stories, Sunstroke and Married Love.
