PREFACE This is the third edition, with additions and amendments (and a renumbering), of the edition originally published in 2004 by White Sheep Press. The intention of this checklist is to list all of the writings published by Abercrombie (although there are almost certainly a large number of book reviews and articles for the Nation that have not been traced). However, without this essential building block, which puts his works into context, meaningful analysis and criticism of his work is difficult. This is a working document, and if you would like to help make it a definitive list, please send any amendments and additions to me at [email protected]. They will be incorporated in the list and acknowledged. The format of the checklist is chronological, in order of first publication in periodical and book form. It should be borne in mind that there is a bibliographical hierarchy: contributions to periodicals, then contributions to books, and finally principal books.

  • Frederic Manning - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Frederic Manning - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Frederic Manning(22 July 1882 – 22 February 1935) Frederic Manning was an Australian poet and novelist. <b>Biography</b> Born in Sydney, Manning was the son (one of eight children) of local politician Sir William Patrick Manning. His family were Catholics, of Irish origin. A sickly child (asthma), Manning was educated exclusively at home. As a teenager he formed a close friendship with Arthur Galton, a scholarly man who was Secretary to the Governor of New South Wales. Galton went home to England in 1898, taking Manning with him, but Manning returned to Australia in 1900. In 1903, he finally settled in the UK. <b>Early years in England</b> Manning moved in with Galton, who had become the Vicar of Edenham, a village about three miles north-west of Bourne in south Lincolnshire. He devoted his time to study, reading voraciously, particularly the classics and philosophy, under the domineering influence of Galton. Although he seemingly shared Galton's contempt for Catholicism, Manning never renounced it entirely. He made several unsuccessful attempts to write a historical novel. In 1907, Manning published his first book The Vigil of Brunhild, which was a monologue written in verse. Scenes and Portraits followed in 1909, which was a discussion of religious topics written up in the form of a series of debates in which those taking part are leading lights from the past, such as Socrates, St. Francis and Thomas Cromwell. These books went down well in literary circles, but did not enjoy a particularly wide circulation.

  • A Study of the Use of Allusion in the War Literature of Frederic Manning, David Jones and Edmund Blunden
    THE USE OF ALLUSION IN LITERATURE OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ALLUSION IN WAR LITERATURE BY FREDERIC MANNING, DAVID JONES AND EDMUND BLUNDEN By FIONA MARGORY WILKIE, B. A. (Hans) A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in' Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University September 1980 The purpose of allusion in a literary work is essentially the same as that of all other types of metaphor- -the development and revelation of character, structure, and theme- -and, when skillfully used, it does all of these simultan- eously. An allusion achieves its purposes through inviting a comparison and contrast of the context in which it is used with its original context. Allusion is distinguished from other varieties of metaphor or analogy by the greater complexity and potential its context necessarily brings with it; it is a metaphor with an almost inexhaustible number of points of comparison. Weldon Thornton, Allusions in Ulysses, p. 3. ii MASTER OF ARTS (1980) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: A Study of the use of Allusion in the War Literature of Frederic Manning, David Jones and Edmund Blunden AUTHOR: Fiona Margory Wilkie, B. A. (Hons) (Manchester Univ. ) SUPER VISOR: Dr. Alan Bishop NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 96 iii ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to show the diverse ways in which these authors use the allusions which pervade their First World War literature. Frederic Manning, in The Middle Parts of Fortune, uses Shakespearian allusions which are external to the main text; David Jones, in In Parenthesis, uses a variety of allusions which are organic to the text; the allusions of Edmund Blunden, in Undertones of War, are predominantly from eighteenth-century literature and are found in the text and structure of the work.
