The excellent results can be found within (pp. 103–9). Our purpose was to link this appeal with the next year’s Beldam and MacCurdy dinners, so that those coming to the dinners would have fresh news – in The Letter – of their contemporaries. Headline thanks go to alumni also for your continued financial support to the College. This year has seen not only a steady rise in the proportion of Old Members donating to the College, but also some new donations of remarkable generosity (pp. 66–7), which will enable us, among other things, to endow two new Fellowships, and to avoid using capital for much-needed restoration of our older buildings. More information will appear in the next ‘Donors’ Report’ which comes out as a supplement to the Pelican. Buildings and fabric The new building at Leckhampton is proving a success with its occupants; and in June it became the Kho Building, in honour of the mother of our benefactor Mr L S Kwee, father of Philip Kwee who graduated in 2012. The Vice-Chancellor attended the ceremony, as well as members of the Kwee family; and we were delighted to welcome them to Leckhampton on this happy occasion. Shortly before, we had completed the renovation of the George Thomson Building, which now has no asbestos, new water systems, and – most important to the occupants – double-glazed windows that actually shut! Finally, as I write, we are coming to the end of the project to renovate the hostel on Trumpington Street; and this will conclude our current phase of modernisation of student accommodation . except that there is never a ‘finally’ in buildings and estate matters.

Part One [Part 1 0:00:00] Lee: This is Jon Shanklin, interviewed by Chris Eldon Lee, on the 29 th of November 2013. Jon Shanklin, Part 1. Shanklin: Jonathan Shanklin, born 1953, September the 29 th , in Wrexham, Denbighshire. [Part 1 0:00:18] Lee: Oh right? North Wales? Shanklin: North Wales. [Part 1 0:00:20] Lee: I live in Shrewsbury, so I know. Shanklin: I was in Shrewsbury in September actually. [Part 1 0:00:24] Lee: What, professionally? Shanklin: Amateurly because I am also a botanist. In fact I have just been appointed the Co-recorder for Cambridgeshire and there was a Recorders’ conference in the Gateway. [Part 1 0:00:39] Lee: Would you say your father was an educated man? Shanklin: Yes. [Part 1 0:00:42] Lee: Tell me about him. Shanklin: Dad was a consultant geologist at McAlpines, the big construction company, and so he would go off prospecting all over the place. I remember when I was a child he had several visits to South Africa, when he was away for months at a time. Probably rather like me, going to the Antarctic for months at a time, repaying the compliment, if you like. My mum was also a geologist, but mostly a mother, but they were both members of the local geological society. Dad at one time was a president of it, and they had regular excursions, and as children myself and my brother would be packed into the bus which would go down lanes that were very very narrow.

  • The Revival of the Satiric Spirit in Contemporary British Fiction1
    The Revival of the Satiric Spirit in Contemporary British Fiction1 Luis Alberto Lázaro Lafuente University of Alcalá Satiric novels have traditionally been regarded as a minor form by many critics and scholars. Aristotle had already referred to the satirists as "the more trivial" poets who wrote about the actions of meaner~persons, in stark contrast to the "more serious-minded" epic poets who represented noble actions and the lives of noble people (1965: 35-36). This attitude has persisted throughout many centuries in the history of English literature. Even though satire enjoyed its golden age in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, especially with the poetry of such distinguished writers as Dryden or Pope, satiric compositions in prose did not really achieve the same high position2• When with time the novel became a well• established genre, it was mainly naturalistic fiction and psychological stories that commonly attained a prominent status among the literary critics, whereas the comic and satiric novel, with a few exceptions, was relegated to a status of popular prose on the fringe of the canon, or even outside it. Indeed, in the twentieth century, several prestigious authors have offered a rather gloomy picture of the state of novelistic satire. Robert C. Elliott, for instance, said in 1960 that the great literary figures of this century were not "preeminently satirists" (1970: 223); and Patricia Meyer Spacks, in her artide "Some Reflections on Satire" first published in 1968, even stated that satiric novel s by authors such I Some ideas oí this paper have already appeared in my essay "El espíritu satírico en la novela británica contemporánea: Menipo redivivo", included in the volume edited by Fernando Galván Már• genes y centros en la literatura británica actual.
