  • Battle of the Somme

    Battle of the Somme

    Battle of the Somme The Battle of the Somme took place during the First World War in France by the River Somme. It was between the German army and the French army. The British Army was ordered to help the French. It began on 1st July 1916 and ended on 18th November 1916. Trenches During WWI, huge trenches were dug into the ground wherever there was a battle. The soldiers would live in the trenches and, when ordered to, had to climb up out of the trenches and run towards the enemy troops. This was called ‘going over the top’. Trenches were muddy, narrow and damp. The British Plan The British Army were told to fire machine guns at the German lines and then walk over to them and fight them face to face. On Day 1 the British Army fired 1 738 000 shells at the German trenches. Then they started walking over to them. As the British soldiers walked towards them, the Germans started firing their machine guns. 20 000 men were either killed or seriously wounded! Many people in Britain were angry at the huge loss of so many young men and called it ‘The Lost Generation’. Back in Britain, people began to build simple war shrines in honour of the fallen soldiers. These were simple, wooden, handmade tablets with the names of the men carved into them. Battle of the Somme Did you know? The British Army had soldiers from other countries fighting with them. The men came from Ireland, Newfoundland, South Africa and India. The End of the War Winter was closing in.

    The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913

    The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913 The arrival of the Tenth Cavalry sent Burlington into demographic shock. Almost overnight the small city acquired a substantial black community, a situation that clearly dismayed many residents. By David Work n July 1909, the Tenth United States Cavalry Regiment, one of four regular army black regiments collectively known as the Buffalo ISoldiers, arrived in Burlington, Vermont, to begin a four-year tour of duty at Fort Ethan Allen in neighboring Colchester. Their arrival alarmed the almost exclusively white population. Many people feared the presence of sizable numbers of African American soldiers in their community and a bitter debate ensued over whether the city should adopt Jim Crow facilities. For the next four years, the Tenth Cavalry would encounter similar reactions as it traveled throughout the north- east and as far south as Winchester, Virginia. Wherever they went, the black soldiers faced fear and suspicion and had to demonstrate good behavior to win the acceptance of the white population. Created in 1866, the Tenth Cavalry achieved its greatest fame in the late nineteenth century on the western frontier and then served with distinction during the Spanish-American War. In that conflict, the regi- ment charged up San Juan Hill with Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and won public renown as the “fighting Tenth Cavalry.” In the early twentieth century, the Tenth fought in the Philippine War, served in .....................

    The First Air Force: The Aeronautical Division, U.S. Signal Corps By: Hannah Chan, FAA history intern The United States first used aviation warfare during the Civil War with the Union Army Balloon Corps (see Civil War Ballooning: The First U.S. War Fought on Land, at Sea, and in the Air). The lighter-than-air balloons helped to gather intelligence and accurately aim artillery. The Army dissolved the Balloon Corps in 1863, but it established a balloon section within the U.S. Signal Corps, the Army’s communication branch, during the Spanish-American War in 1892. This section contained only one balloon, but it successfully made several flights and even went to Cuba. However, the Army dissolved the section after the war in 1898, allowing the possibility of military aeronautics advancement to fade into the background. The Wright brothers' successful 1903 flight at Kitty Hawk was a catalyst for aviation innovation. Aviation pioneers, such as the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss, began to build heavier-than-air aircraft. Aviation accomplishments with the dirigible and planes, as well as communication innovations, caused U.S. Army Brigadier General James Allen, Chief Signal Officer of the Army, to create an Aeronautical Division on August 1, 1907. The A Signal Corps Balloon at the Aeronautics Division division was to “have charge of all matters Balloon Shed at Fort Myer, VA Photo: San Diego Air and Space Museum pertaining to military ballooning, air machines, and all kindred subjects.” At its creation, the division consisted of three people: Captain (Capt.)

N THE YEARS 1923-24 Virginia Woolf was embroiled in an argument I with Arnold Bennett about the responsibility of the novelist and the future ofthe novel. In her famous essay "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown," she observed that "on or about December, 1910, human character changed";1 and she proceeded to argue, without specifying the causes or nature of that change, that because human character had changed the novel must change if it were to be a true representation of human life. Since that time the at once assertive and vague remark about 1910, isolated, has served as a convenient point of departure for historians now writing about the social and cultural changes occurring during the Edwardian period.2 Literary critics have taken the ideas about fiction from "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown" and Woolfs other much-antholo­ gized essay "Modern Fiction" as a free-standing "aesthetic manifesto" of the new novel of sensibility;3 and those who have recorded and discussed the "whole contention" between Virginia Woolf and Arnold Bennett have regarded the relation between Woolfs historical observation and her ideas about the novel either as just a rhetorical strategy or a generational disguise for the expression of class bias against Bennett.4 Yet few readers have asked what Virginia Woolf might have nleant by her remark about 1910 and the novel, or what it might have meant to her.

Labor uprisings at the turn of the century are more frequently envisioned in urban slums with overcrowded sweat shops and tenements jammed with immigrant workers. Muscatine, Iowa was never so unfortunate. The small city on the bluffs of the Mississippi River was sur- rounded by the agrarian culture and economy of Iowa and Illinois. But lodged in this rural environment was a booming button industry that all but monopolized the city and the local labor force. The strike of the Muscatine button workers' union in 1911-12 is a significant example of the chaos inflicted on a rural community in the process of industrialization. The history of the strike includes the story of community dynamics as well as industrial conflict. On February 25, 1911 a majority of the forty-three fresh- water pearl button factories in Muscatine shut down produc- tion. The manufacturers claimed that the shutdown was due to overproduction. The 2,500 laid-off workers declared it was a threat against their newly organized union.

  • Parody and Metafiction: Virginia Woolf's 'An Unwritten Novel'

    Parody and Metafiction: Virginia Woolf's 'An Unwritten Novel'

    Links & Letters 8, 2001 71-81 Parody and metafiction: Virginia Woolf’s ‘An Unwritten Novel’ Laura María Lojo Rodríguez Universidade de Santiago de Compostela Received Jaunuary 2002 Abstract The present paper aims at vindicating the dimension where Virginia Woolf was more overtly «metafictional»: the practice of some of her short fiction. According to her, this was a new genre freed from the realist conventions that had modelled the novel from its inception as a literary form. Such an attitude is openly at work in «An Unwritten Nov- el» (1920), a short piece which parodies realism by laying bare the functioning of its con- ventions while opening the way to new fictional modes of understanding literature. «An Unwritten Novel» draws attention to itself and to its process of construction, laying bare its self-reflecting mechanisms which so ostensibly oppose realism. Key words: Metafiction, Virginia Woolf, short fiction. Although the cluster of features which are supposedly inherent to metafic- tional narratives have tended to be associated to what has come to be labelled as ‘postmodernism’ – as Patricia Waugh has noted (1984: 5) – metafiction and its practice are as old as the novel itself: it is a tendency inherent to all nov- els due to the ‘dialogic’ potential of the genre. To use Mikhail Bakhtin’s words, the novel allows the «word to become the arena of conflict between two voices» (1984: 106). In more generalising terms, the language of fiction is invariably self-conscious, and often – if not overtly – shows a tendency to approach reality as a construct. Robert Scholes was one of the first critics to analyse the phenomenon of self-conscious fiction, which he named «fabulation» (1979: 3).
