  • The Altered States of David Lindsay: Three Psychedelic Novels of the 1920S
    The Altered States of David Lindsay: Three Psychedelic Novels of the 1920s ‘He drank copiously. It affected his palate in a new way – with the purity and cleanness of water was combined the exhilaration of sparkling wine, raising his spirits – but somehow the intoxication brought out his better nature, and not his lower… Maskull now realised his environment as it were for the first time. All his sense organs started to show him beauties and wonders he had not hitherto suspected.’ David Lindsay, A Voyage to Arcturus, 1920. ‘A dark, cosmic and elegant meditation on life and death, A Voyage to Arcturus might well be the most psychedelic novel ever written.’ Mark Pilkington, Frieze Magazine, Issue 124, June-August 2009. David Lindsay (1876–1945), whose novels were originally published in the nineteen twenties and thirties, was a forgotten figure in literature until one of his novels, an extraordinary and elaborate fantasy, A Voyage to Arcturus1, was republished by Gollancz.2 It went on to be published in numerous popular paperback editions, as something of an underground classic during the psychedelic sixties and seventies, along with the work of other rediscovered fantasy authors such as Mervyn Peak, Lord Dunsany and J R Tolkien.3 Notwithstanding Fortean author and fringe culture pundit Mark Pilkington’s observation, that Arcturus might well be ‘the most psychedelic novel ever written’4 and the fact that Rick Doblin the founder and executive director of the psychedelic campaigning organisation MAPS named the home he built Arcturus in honour of Lindsay’s book5, the role of the consumption of psychoactive substances in the narrative of Arcturus seems to have gone almost entirely unremarked by commentators.

LANGWITH A Thesis for the Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy University of St. Andrews 21 December 2006 ii ABSTRACT This study undertakes an examination of the representation of nature in works of literature that it regards as early British ‘mythopoeic fantasy’. By this term the thesis understands that fantasy fiction which is fundamentally concerned with myth or myth-making. It is the contention of the study that the connection of these works with myth or the idea of myth is integral to their presentation of nature. Specifically, this study identifies a connection between the idea of nature presented in these novels and the thought of the late-Victorian era regarding nature, primitivism, myth and the impulse behind mythopoesis. It is argued that this conceptual background is responsible for the notion of nature as a virtuous force of spiritual redemption in opposition to modernity and in particular to the dominant modern ideological model of scientific materialism.

    DAVID LINDSAY'S A VOYAGE TO ARCTURUS ALLEGORICAL DREAM FANTASY AS A LITERARY MODE by JACK S CHOFIELD B.A., University of Birmingham, 1969 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 19 72 tn presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date Abstract David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus must be read as an allegorical dream fantasy for its merit to be correctly discerned. Lindsay's central themes are introduced in a study of the man and his work. (Ch. 1). These themes are found to be common in allegorical dream fantasy, the phenomen- ological background of which is established (Ch. 2). A distinction can then be drawn between fantasy and romance, so as to define allegorical dream fantasy as a literary mode (Ch. 3). After the biographical, theoretical and literary backgrounds of A Voyage have been established in the first three chapters, the second three chapters explicate the structure of the book as an allegorical dream fantasy.

This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The right of Carl Alexander McKeating to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by Carl Alexander McKeating in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Frank Parkinson, without whose scholarship in support of Yorkshire-born students I could not have undertaken this study. The Frank Parkinson Scholarship stipulates that parents of the scholar must also be Yorkshire-born. I cannot help thinking that what Parkinson had in mind was the type of social mobility embodied by the journey from my Bradford-born mother, Marie McKeating, who ‘passed the Eleven-Plus’ but was denied entry into a grammar school because she was ‘from a children’s home and likely a trouble- maker’, to her second child in whom she instilled a love of books, debate and analysis. The existence of this thesis is testament to both my mother’s and Frank Parkinson’s generosity and vision. Thank you to David Higgins and Jeremy Davies for their guidance and support. I give considerable thanks to Fiona Beckett and John Whale for their encouragement and expert interventions.

Taylor Keele University June 2016 This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature. Abstract In recent years there has been a rapid growth in interest in the lives and writings of the children of major Romantic poets. Often, this work has suggested that the children felt themselves to be overshadowed by their forebears in ways which had problematic implications for their creative independence. In this thesis I explore the construction of writing spaces – physical, imaginary, textual and material – in the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s (1772-1834) children and grandchildren: Hartley (1796-1849), Derwent (1800-1883), Sara (1802-1852), Derwent Moultrie (1828- 1880), Edith (1832-1911) and Ernest Hartley (1846-1920).
