  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M. Forster Camara Laye Iain Crichton Smith Larry King Sembene Ousmane Jean Ure John Fuller January 2nd: Isaac Asimov Henry Kingsley Jean Little Peter Redgrove Gerhard Amanshauser * * * * * Is prolific writing good writing?

  • The Transformative Energy of Children's Literature
    Notes 1 Breaking Bounds: The Transformative Energy of Children’s Literature 1. I do not recognise Karin Lesnik-Oberstein’s insistence that the majority of academics who write about children’s literature are primarily concerned with finding the right book for the right child (Children’s Literature: New Approaches, 2004: 1–24). 2. Although publishing for children includes many innovative and important non- fictional works, my concern is specifically with narrative fictions for children. 3. See Rumer Godden’s entertaining ‘An Imaginary Correspondence’ featuring invented letters between Mr V. Andal, an American publisher working for the De Base Publishing Company, and Beatrix Potter for an entertaining insight into this process. The piece appeared in Horn Book Magazine 38 (August 1963), 197–206. 4. Peter Hunt raises questions about the regard accorded to Hughes’s writing for children suggesting that it derives more from the insecurity of children’s literature critics than the quality of the work: ‘It is almost as if, with no faith in their own judgements, such critics are glad to accept the acceptance of an accepted poet’ (2001: 79–81). 5. See Reynolds and Tucker, 1998; Trites, 2000 and Lunden, 2004. 6. Although writing in advance of Higonnet, Rose would have been familiar with many of the examples on which Pictures of Innocence is based. 7. By the time she reaches her conclusion, Rose has modified her position to empha- sise that ‘children’s literature is just one of the areas in which this fantasy is played out’ (138), undermining her claims that the child-audience is key to the work of children’s literature in culture.

  • Researching and Sharing Edgar Family History No. 55, August 2011
    EEddggaarr EEvveennttss Researching and sharing Edgar family history No. 55, August 2011 DNA Update by James Edgar ([email protected]) We have four tests waiting in the wings... The first is for Richard Edgar of Alexandria, Virginia. Richard is keen on discovering his Haplotype and has sent his swabs away for analysis already. His name came to us through Jennifer Edgar Cann of South Carolina. The second test is for Terry Edgar of Glengowrie, Adelaide, Australia. We suspect he’s related to my group as an I1, but we’ll let the test results prove his lineage. Terry is Adrian Edgar’s younger brother, who we’ve been in conversation with for the past few months. Both brothers descend from the same line as Peter Edgar, of Canberra, Australia, who has been in our family group almost since the beginning – he is one of the earlier testers. This is from one of Peter’s emails of a few years back: I trace my descent through my father Don, his father Richard, his father Hugh and his father John Edgar (known as ‘McPherson’ Edgar, I don’t know why). John ‘McPherson’ Edgar came to South Australia (Adelaide) in 1848 aged 20, a Scottish labourer. He died in 1893, a well respected pioneer. (The British Colony of SA was established only in 1836). After early years at Glen Osmond (now an Adelaide suburb), he had earned a living as a dairyman and the owner/operator of a small shop, owning three adjoining properties in Halifax St, Adelaide. His last years were spent working as a brewer.
