Jack Clemo 1916-55: the Rise and Fall of the 'Clay Phoenix' 1 Jack Clemo 1916-55: The Rise and Fall of the ‘Clay Phoenix’ Submitted by Luke Thompson to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English In September 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 2 Abstract Jack Clemo was a poet, novelist, autobiographer, short story writer and Christian witness, whose life spanned much of the twentieth century (1916- 1994). He composed some of the most extraordinary landscape poetry of the twentieth century, much of it set in his native China Clay mining region around St Austell in Cornwall, where he lived for the majority of his life. Clemo’s upbringing was one of privation and poverty and he was famously deaf and blind for much of his adult life. In spite of Clemo’s popularity as a poet, there has been very little written about him, and his confessional self-interpretation in his autobiographical works has remained unchallenged. This thesis looks at Clemo’s life and writing until the mid-1950s, holding the vast, newly available and (to date) unstudied archive of manuscripts up against the published material and exploring the contrary narratives of progressive disease and literary development and success. When Clemo wrote his own biography, he interpreted the events of his life as though they were a part of a predestined pattern established by God, plotting a course that gave his life special meaning. But as well as moulding events into a particular narrative, Clemo omitted some key features of his biography, including the cause of his disabilities. This thesis, a detailed study of Jack Clemo’s life and writing, returns to the original source material to reconsider this self-interpretation and justification, and to establish some of the details Clemo and his family sought to censor. 3 4 Contents List of Illustrations ……………………………………………………………. 5 Acknowledgements ………………………………………………………..... 6 Notes and abbreviations ……………………………………………............ 8 Introduction …………………………………………………………………… 10 Chapter I ………………………………………………………………………. 20 Chapter II ……………………………………………………………………… 44 Chapter III ……………………………………………………………………... 76 Chapter IV ………………………………………………………………......... 126 Chapter V ……………………………………………………………………… 171 Chapter VI ………………………………………………………………......... 215 Chapter VII ……………………………………………………………………. 238 Chapter VIII ……………………………………………………………………. 284 Chapter IX …………………………………………………………………….. 306 Chapter X ……………………………………………………………………… 338 Appendix I ……………………………………………………………….......... 353 Appendix II …………………………………………………………………….. 364 Appendix III ………………………………………………………………. ...... 366 University of Exeter’s Special Collections Library Key ………………....… 367 Bibliography of works by and about Clemo ………………………………... 374 Other Works Cited …………………………………………………………….. 390 5 List of Illustrations Frontis portrait by RL Knight 1.

Without their support none of the uncollected poems, published in Archipelago, PN Review and in the present text, would have emerged. Nor would the forgotten dialect tales, which are due to be published as A Proper Mizz-Maze by Francis Boutle. And, most prominently, I would not have had the chance to edit the Selected Poems of Jack Clemo, published by Enitharmon and introduced by Rowan Williams in 2015. During the writing, Tim Kendall and Nick Groom, my supervisors, were especially helpful, as were Christine Faunch, Angela Mandrioli, Gemma Poulton and Sue Inskip of the Special Collections Library of the University of Exeter, and Jo Moore of Wheal Martyn Country Park and Museum. I am grateful to the following people for their time, correspondence, and for sharing their personal collections: Father Benedict Ramsden, Sophie Bateman, Pat Moyer, Norman Stone and 1A Productions, Sally Magnusson, Paul Hyland, Cliff Moorhouse and the Manchester Academy of Fine Art, Stan Dobbin, Dennis Hall of Inky Parrot Press, Kim Cooper at the Cornish Studies Library, James Whetter and The Cornish Banner, Donald Rawe, Michael Williams, Malcolm Gould, Derek Giles, Ivor Bowditch, Bodmin Library, Alan Kent, Heather Martin, Heather Spears, Michael Spinks, Peter Woodward and the Sterts Theatre, John Hurst, Gemma Goodman, Emma Mason, Kym Martindale, Andrew Symons, Charles Thomas, Alan and Margaret Sanders, Frances and Ray Brown, Grace Gribble, Preston Gribble, Jennifer Pursall, Barbara Luke, Shirley Ball, Maria Willcox, Tony Jaspers, Alwyn Marriage, Eileen Funston, June Trethewey, Margaret Brearley, David Mabey of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical 7 Medicine, Felicity Warner, Resurgence magazine, Trevor Vacher Dean and the Dorset Year Book, Tony Martin, Len Barnett, David Stark, Romer Mynne and the Savage family, Jean Rafferty, Michael Hanke, Esther and Roger Race, and L. Michael Kaas of the Mining History Association, Colorado. Letters from Cecil Day Lewis to Jack Clemo and the poem Emily Brontë appear by permission of Peters Fraser & Dunlop (www.petersfraserdunlop.com) on behalf of the Estate of C. Day Lewis. Thanks also to Bruce Hunter for permission to use Charles Causley’s letters and poetry. Causley’s ‘Homage to Jack Clemo’ may be found in both Survivor’s Leave and in Collected Poems. For permission to use the images, as well as the University of Exeter’s Special Collections Library, I am grateful to Ricky Knight, the Cornish Studies Library, the China Clay History Society, Ander Gunn and Paul Broadhurst. I have been unable to trace the photographer John Chard, who is believed to have taken photo 42. I have also been unable to discover any estate for the Dorset writer and friend of Clemo’s, Monica Hutchings. It is likely that Hutchings took photographs 25, 26 and 27. Two people who helped in different ways have sadly died over the three years taken to complete Clay Phoenix: Paul Newman and Brenda Angilley. Paul was a writer who helped with initial thoughts and ideas while I was putting together proposals. He produced many works relevant to this subject, including The Man Who Unleashed The Birds, reviewing Frank Baker and the artistic circle surrounding him in mid-twentieth-century Cornwall. Brenda Angilley died the same year, 2014. Brenda appeared on the documentary film Roots of my Story, having known Clemo as a girl. She also appears throughout Clemo’s writing and was a significant influence on Confession of a Rebel and The Clay Verge, two of Clemo’s most remarkable works. 8 Notes and Abbreviations The most useful resource has been Exeter’s Special Collections. However, reference numbers for individual files are long and cumbersome and I found that they disrupted the text too much, so I have abbreviated them and added a key. For example, the Special Collections reference for correspondence regarding A Different Drummer would normally read ‘EUL MS 68/PERS/1/1/8’. In my system, it is simply ‘P9’, the ‘P’ showing that it comes from the collection described as ‘Personal Papers’. Similarly, the ‘Literary Papers’ of Jack Clemo begin with an ‘L’, the Charles Causley papers begin with a ‘C’, the A. L. Rowse papers with an ‘R’, and the E. W. Martin papers with an ‘M’. The key appears in the back. References to the Wheal Martyn archive are relatively few and tend to be shorter, so they have been kept as they appear in the archive record. Clemo’s handwriting is difficult to read, so much so that it has been used by the Special Collections Library to illustrate the problems that can face someone working with archive materials. Over the three years of reading Clemo’s handwriting, I have come to decipher the great majority of it, but occasionally a word has eluded me. When I have been unable to interpret a word completely, I have marked it with question marks in square brackets: [??]. When I believe I have deciphered a word, but am not completely certain, I have put the word in square brackets with question marks either side of it: [?example?]. It will be noticed that in quotations I use ellipses both within and without square brackets, either . or […]. This is to differentiate the ellipses used by Clemo from those used by me. The ellipses without squared brackets are Clemo’s own, while the ellipses within squared brackets are mine.

Seek a quiet space where you can minimize interruptions and take a few moments to enter into the silence. Let yourself sink deeply into the quiet. Invite God in. 2. Read just the title of the poem and ponder what this encounter might be about. 3. Read the poem aloud. Pay attention to the words, the sounds, the punctuation and what you are hearing in the poem. 4.

  • 9780718894351 Text Mee.Indd
    PREFACE This book arose out of a range of interests that combined to move me in a direction I had not anticipated, but found intriguing. For nearly a decade I had spent time researching and writing about how curriculum materials in the form of school textbooks found their way into classrooms, as well as exploring their political and ideological construction. I was interested in how school history, social studies and citizenship textbooks help shape, and are, in turn, shaped by, ideological and socio-political norms, traditions and values. I combined this work with a lifelong interest in the history of education and its cultural and sociological origins. In 2013 I committed myself to moving beyond the analysis of school textbooks to exploring an alternative form of curriculum materials in the guise of early-twentieth- century children’s magazines. While I had no interest in being sucked into the often vacuous quagmire of postmodernist theoretical gymnastics, with its dreary and tiresome massacring of language, I was interested in how children’s magazines were powerful weapons in the ideological and political construction of what of the past was remembered and how it was remembered. My interest lay in exploring how SAMPLEthe narratives that constitute a nation’s past present a powerful moral authority. I wanted to focus upon how they did not simply tell stories, but stories that contained discourses from which cultural and ideological meanings were manufactured. Originally I concentrated upon a series of articles I wanted to write on the manner in which The Children’s Newspaper, which Arthur Mee edited between 1919 and 1943, imagined English national identity, Australia and Aboriginal Australians.

  • The Gladstone Review
    SAMPLE ARTICLES FROM THE GLADSTONE REVIEW As it is likely that several readers of this e-journal have discovered the existence of the New Gladstone Review for the first time, I thought it would be helpful to give more idea of the style adopted by providing some examples of articles that were published during 2017. I begin with the introduction on page 1 of the January 2017 issue, and thereafter add seven articles published in subsequent issues. THE GLADSTONE REVIEW January 2017 a monthly e-journal Informal commentary, opinions, reviews, news, illustrations and poetry for bookish people of philanthropic inclination INTRODUCTION This is the first issue of the successor to the Gladstone Books Newsletter, the publication which was launched in November 2015 in association with the Gladstone Books shop in Southwell. The shop was named after William Gladstone, who became an MP for near-by Newark when only 23 years old in 1832, and was subsequently Liberal Prime Minister on four occasions until his death in 1898. It was Gladstone's bibliophilia, rather than his political achievements, that led to adoption of this name when I first started selling second-hand books in Newark in 2002. For he was an avid reader of the 30,000 books he assembled in his personal library, which became the nucleus of the collection in St Deiniol’s library in north Wales, and which is his most tangible legacy. I retained the name when moving the business to Lincoln in 2006, and since May 2015, to the shop in Southwell. * Ben Mepham * Of course, Gladstone Books is now back in Lincoln!
