  • Discipleship in the Works of Christopher Isherwood
    Prague Journal of English Studies Volume 8, No. 1, 2019 ISSN: 1804-8722 (print) '2,10.2478/pjes-2019-0005 ISSN: 2336-2685 (online) A Bond Stronger Than Marriage: Discipleship in the Works of Christopher Isherwood Kinga Latała Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland is paper is concerned with Christopher Isherwood’s portrayal of his guru-disciple relationship with Swami Prabhavananda, situating it in the tradition of discipleship, which dates back to antiquity. It discusses Isherwood’s (auto)biographical works as records of his spiritual journey, infl uenced by his guru. e main focus of the study is My Guru and His Disciple, a memoir of the author and his spiritual master, which is one of Isherwood’s lesser-known books. e paper attempts to examine the way in which a commemorative portrait of the guru, suggested by the title, is incorporated into an account of Isherwood’s own spiritual development. It discusses the sources of Isherwood’s initial prejudice against religion, as well as his journey towards embracing it. It also analyses the facets of Isherwood and Prabhavananda’s guru-disciple relationship, which went beyond a purely religious arrangement. Moreover, the paper examines the relationship between homosexuality and religion and intellectualism and religion, the role of E. M. Forster as Isherwood’s secular guru, the question of colonial prejudice, as well as the reception of Isherwood’s conversion to Vedanta and his religious works. Keywords Christopher Isherwood; Swami Prabhavananda; My Guru and His Disciple; discipleship; guru; memoir e present paper sets out to explore Christopher Isherwood’s depiction of discipleship in My Guru and His Disciple (1980), as well as relevant diary entries and letters.

    548 / RumeliDE Journal of Language and Literature Studies 2020.S8 (November) Christopher Isherwood’s A Single Man: A work of art produced in the afternoon of an author’s life / G. Güçlü (pp. 548-562) 44-Christopher Isherwood’s A Single Man: A work of art produced in the afternoon of an author’s life Gökben GÜÇLÜ1 APA: Güçlü, G. (2020). Christopher Isherwood’s A Single Man: A work of art produced in the afternoon of an author’s life. RumeliDE Dil ve Edebiyat Araştırmaları Dergisi, (Ö8), 548-562. DOI: 10.29000/rumelide.816962. Abstract Beginning his early literary career as an author who nurtured his fiction with personal facts and experiences, many of Christopher Isherwood’s novels focus on constructing an identity and discovering himself not only as an adult but also as an author. He is one of those unique authors whose gradual transformation from late adolescence to young and middle adulthood can be clearly observed since he portrays different stages of his life in fiction. His critically acclaimed novel A Single Man, which reflects “the afternoon of his life;” is a poetic portrayal of Isherwood’s confrontation with ageing and death anxiety. Written during the early 1960s, stormy relationship with his partner Don Bachardy, the fight against cancer of two of his close friends’ (Charles Laughton and Aldous Huxley) and his own health problems surely contributed the formation of A Single Man. The purpose of this study is to unveil how Isherwood’s midlife crisis nurtured his creativity in producing this work of fiction. From a theoretical point of view, this paper, draws from literary gerontology and ‘the Lifecourse Perspective’ which is a theoretical framework in social gerontology.

  • A Word from the Editor
    JAMES SCHIFF A Word from the Editor It’s been five years since our first issue appeared in November 2011, which calls for modest celebration, some self-examination, and thoughts on where we’re headed. From the beginning, the objective of the John Updike Review has been, sim- ply, to provide a space where those interested in writing about John Updike can participate in discussion. In five years we have released eight issues, containing thirty-six essays, fifteen critical responses to five works of fiction (“Leaves,” “Ges- turing,” “Trust Me,” The Widows of Eastwick, and Villages), twelve book reviews, two tributes, one panel discussion, and one bibliography—sixty-seven pieces in all, excluding the three reprinted short stories. A respectable start. Though the novels, particularly the Rabbit novels, have historically garnered the lion’s share of attention in Updike studies, in our pages the short stories have drawn the most interest: ten essays, nine responses in the “Three Writers” section, and two reviews, which comes to twenty-one pieces, nearly a third of our offerings. This is good news. Many have argued that the short story is Updike’s strongest suit, a genre in which he has few rivals, so this focus is gratifying, especially given how often short fiction is neglected. As for the novels discussed in theJUR , attention has been spread rather evenly, with the Rabbit books holding a slight edge over Couples, In the Beauty of the Lilies, Toward the End of Time, Gertrude and Claudius, and Villages. I’m hesitant, though, to read much significance here—one or two new essays could alter these preliminary findings.
