  • Voices Against the Wind: Barbara Batchelor and Others Voices Against the Wind: Barbara Batchelor and Others
    VOICES AGAINST THE WIND: BARBARA BATCHELOR AND OTHERS VOICES AGAINST THE WIND: BARBARA BATCHELOR AND OTHERS by SYLVIA JULIE FITZGERALD, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University (c) Copyright Sylvia Julie Fitzgerald, March 1989 MASTER OF ARTS (1989) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Voices Against The Wind: Barbara Batchelor and Others AUTHOR: Sylvia Julie Fitzgerald, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Maqbool Aziz NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 79 ii ABSTRACT This thesis will explore the theme of the middle-aged women in Paul Scott's The Raj Quartet and the reasons they are so important to the theme of colonialism. Scott seems to use these women as metaphors for the British colonial experience: each in her own way demonstrates a unique facet of the raj. Even more so than the male administrators (whom one would have thought were pivotal to this particular experience), the women dominate the novels. Each embodies an aspect of the problems arising from within the colonial experience that is not resolved by the battling male population. iii Acknowledgements I gratefully acknowledge the encouragement and support offered by my supervisor, Dr. Maqbool Aziz. If not for his forbearance and gentle encouraging manner, this thesis would never have been completed. Thank you. Dr. James Dale also deserves my gratitude and affection. Though he may not have been aware of it, his sense of humour is the fibre which holds together parts of this thesis. Dr. John Ferns deserves much appreciation for having graciously accepted to be a member of my committee.

  • India As the Setting in the Raj Quartet
    World Wide Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development WWJMRD 2018; 4(3): 187-189 www.wwjmrd.com International Journal Peer Reviewed Journal India as the Setting in the Raj Quartet Refereed Journal Indexed Journal UGC Approved Journal Dr Vidya Patil Impact Factor MJIF: 4.25 E-ISSN: 2454-6615 Abstract Paul Scott is certainly the most outstanding of all the English novelists who have written about India Dr Vidya Patil and its impact on the British and also about the last years of the British Raj in India. He has Assistant Professor of English Government First Grade constructed each novel with much thought and care as revelations of human behaviour. The Raj Women’s College, Bidar, Quartet is one of his most enduring works. It is a tetralogy comprising of the four novels, The Jewel karnatka, India in the Crown (1964), The Day of the Scorpion (1968), The Towers of Silence (1971) and The Division of the Spoils (1975). Taken as a whole, The Quartet gives us a panoramic view of India from the Quit India Movement to Partition and Independence..Times and places are clearly charted. Readers travel from „The Mac Gregor house‟ via „The Bibighar Gardens‟, „The Moghul Room‟, and „The Dak Bungalow‟ to the „Circuit House‟. Paul Scott brings each of these places to life with his detailed descriptions - both of their historical past and their tumultuous present. Keywords: Quartet, English novelist, British Raj, Historical past Introduction “The Raj Quartet is a series of long, interlinked, closely documented series of novels that aim to recreate on a grand scale the political and human clashes between British and Indians during and after the Second World War.” (Walker, 1980:1221) Paul Scott is certainly the most outstanding of all the English novelists who have written about India and its impact on the British and also about the last years of the British Raj in India.

  • Anglo-Indian Visions of Empire, the Raj Revival, and the Literary Crafting of National Character
    Shadows of the Raj: Anglo-Indian Visions of Empire, the Raj Revival, and the Literary Crafting of National Character by GENEVIEVE GAGNE-HAWES B.A. Whitman College, 2003 M.A. New York University, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2012 © Genevieve Gagne-Hawes, 2012 i ABSTRACT In my dissertation, I argue for a relationship of influence between the authors of what I define as the Raj novel genre, or works by British writers who lived in India between 1858 and 1947 and produced novels set in that country, and authors of the so-called “Raj Revival” in 1970s and 1980s Great Britain. The latter encompasses bestselling, award-winning novels (M.M. Kaye’s The Far Pavilions, Paul Scott’s Raj Quartet; J.G. Farrell’s The Siege of Krishnapur, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Heat and Dust) and films (David Lean’s A Passage to India) that nostalgically revisit the Raj experience. Both movements claim ideal British character is manifested by Anglo- Indians, British persons living and working in India, who develop a series of exemplary character traits through the rigors of daily service in the subcontinent. In the Raj novel genre, this model of Anglo-Indian character—and the concurrent denigration of Indian character—is used as a strategy by which to elevate the nascent Anglo-Indian community. In the Raj Revival, the Raj novel genre’s ideals are deployed in support of the conservative shift that occurred during Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s tenure (1979-1990).

  • Multiculturalism in Raj Novel: Rereading Paul Scott's the Jewel

[email protected] 2Assistant Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Institute of Technology Sikkim, Orcid Id: 0000-0003-0718-1898. [email protected] First published September 30, 2019 Abstract Paul Scott’s The Jewel in the Crown (1966) is analyzed in the light of multiculturalism, considering different aspects of oriental study, the response to hegemonic belief and the question of the subaltern. Scott traces the essence of understanding among different individuals in the Raj era, missed by many writers writing of that tumultuous phase in Indian history. Aiming at the unification of the binaries, he depicts real picture of India presenting human life in extraordinary situations and comments on the shared experiences of different characters. He traces multiculturalism in the period that witnessed steady growth and evolution of ideas revolving around modernism, colonialism, postmodernism, postcolonialism and nationalism. The cultural mosaic of India is presented in the novel by examining the politics of difference and the politics of recognition. After a long time when the novel is read in the context of colonial and postcolonial study, the present paper attempts to highlight nuances of multiculturalism, where unity is aimed between the East and the West.

  • Research Scholar, Department of English Amrita Vishwavidyapeetham, Kollam, Kerala
    ISSN 2320 – 6101 Research S cholar www.researchscholar.co.in An International Refereed e-Journal of Literary Explorations UGC Approved Journal Under Arts and Humanities POST-ORIENTALISM: A STUDY OF PAUL SCOTT’S STAYING ON M.S.Veena Assistant Professor, Department of English S.V.R.N.S.S. College, Vazhoor, Kerala & Research Scholar, Department of English Amrita VishwaVidyapeetham, Kollam, Kerala Abstract This paper presents a study of Paul Scott’s Booker Prize- winning novel Staying On. The novel is quite unlike western discourses of the past on India in that it does not wholly subscribe to the ideology of the colonial discourses. The novel, instead of propagating stereotypes about India, displays an attempt to subtly critique the Raj by undermining and subverting the stereotyped assumptions on which the Raj was founded. This it does through the use of inversion of stereotyped images about the Orient and the Occident. Such a mode of representation is termed “Post- Orientalism” in the paper. Paul Scott was a famous English novelist, best known for his tetralogy of novels called the Raj Quartet — The Jewel in the Crown (1966), The Day of the Scorpion (1968), The Towers of Silence (1971) and A Division of the Spoils (1975). Scott won the Booker Prize in 1977 for his work Staying On. The novel is often read as an epilogue to the Raj Quartet. Staying On tells the story of the decline of the old India of the Raj and the emergence of a new commercial ruling class of Indians. Scott’s Booker Prize-winning novel makes an interesting study on account of the fact that the novel, though written by an English novelist, is quite unlike western discourses of the past on India.

  • The Body's Grace" for Sarah Was a Deceit
    The Body’s Grace By Rowan Williams To ask, "Why does sex matter?" sounds a rather futile way of beginning an address in these circumstances. It's rather obvious that it does matter, and that it matters in different ways to different people. To some it matters as a cause for alarm, to others as a cause for celebration: there would be less need for LGCM and kindred organisations if sex were not alarming to so many, and less impetus to join or support LGCM, if sex were not something a little more than another good cause. Most people know that sexual intimacy is in some ways frightening for them; most know that it is quite simply the place where they begin to be taught whatever maturity they have. Most of us know that the whole business is irredeemably comic, surrounded by so many odd chances and so many opportunities for making a fool of yourself; plenty know that it is the place where they are liable to be most profoundly damaged or helpless. Culture in general and religion in particular have devoted enormous energy to the doomed task of getting it right. In this address, I want to try and understand a little better why the task is doomed, and why the fact that it's doomed, is a key to seeing more fully why and how it matters - and even seeing more fully what this mattering has to do with God. And to conduct this exploration in this context may turn out to have a particular "rightness" about it, as I hope may be clearer by the time I've finished.

  • British and Indian Influences in the Identities and Literature of Mark Tully and Ruskin Bond
    BRITISH AND INDIAN INFLUENCES IN THE IDENTITIES AND LITERATURE OF MARK TULLY AND RUSKIN BOND Brenda Lakhani, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2003 APPROVED: Denis Paz, Major Professor Harold Tanner, Minor Professor and Chair of the Department of History Randolph Campbell, Committee Member C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Lakhani, Brenda. British and Indian Influences in the Identities and Literature of Mark Tully and Ruskin Bond. Master of Arts (History), August 2003, 76 pp., references. With globalization and modernization, increasingly people are influenced by multiple cultures. This paper examines the case of two authors, Mark Tully and Ruskin Bond, who were born in India shortly before India’s Independence (1947). Both had British parents, but one considers himself Indian while the other has retained his British identity. The focus of this paper is how and why this difference has occurred and how it has influenced their writing. Both Tully and Bond write short stories about India and Indians, particularly the small towns and villages. Their reasons for writing, however, are very different. Tully writes to achieve social change, while Bond writes because he loves to write. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my major professor, Dr. Denis Paz, for his guidance and patience. He has always been supportive and encouraging and has fostered my academic growth. I extend a special thanks to the members of my committee, Dr. Harold Tanner and Dr. Randolph Campbell, who pushed toward further refinement of my thesis at every step.
