Paula Backscheider later lamented the same in Reflections on Biography (Oxford: Oxford Uni- versity Press, 1999), xiv. 3 “Only Connect: Biography and Truth,” in Homberger and Charmley, The Troubled Face of Biography (New York: St. Martin’s, 1998), 1. 4 Skidelsky, “Only Connect: Biography and Truth”, p. 1-2. 5 René Wellek and Austin Warren, Theory of Literature (New York: Harcourt, 1946). BIOGRAPHY AS CORRECTIVE raphy had been dismissed as of no “real critical importance. No biographical evidence can change or influence critical evaluation,” Wellek and Warren had asserted.6 Bradbury’s scorn for the ravages wreaked not only by post-war critical minds but then by deconstruction was even more pronounced – the 1980s having become “the age of the author denied and eliminated, airbrushed from the world of writing with a theoretical efficiency that would be the envy of any totalitarian regime trying to remove its discredited past lead- ers from the record of history.”7 Skidelsky thought biographers, to some degree, had brought this up- on themselves - not only by the lack of theorists, but by biographers’ hel- ter-skelter retreat from their earlier, Victorian responsibility to produce exemplary lives, and their growing surrender to public voyeurism. In his view, exemplary lives were coming back again, following Lytton Strachey’s great “debunking” bonanza after World War I -– which had at least given biography a serious and central justification -- but with the exemplariness transferred to the subject’s private life – life that was not necessarily ex- emplary, at least in the Victorian sense, but certainly so in the Roman Coli- seum sense. By the late 1980s, he lamented, biography had sunk in intellec- tual esteem, for “the example is the life itself, not what the life enabled a person to achieve. Or, more precisely, the life is the achievement.” As he added, in what is now a famous epigram, “what used to be called achieve- ment is now only one accompaniment, possibly a minor one, of a style of living” – from lesbianism to sexual arrangements.8 It would be no exaggeration to say that biography’s role and standing in society and in the academy has radically changed since The Troubled Face of Biography was published. The book’s editors, Eric Homberger and John 6 Malcolm Bradbury, “The Telling Life,” in Homberger and Charmley, The Troubled Face, pp. 134-5. 6 Ibid., 136. 7 Ibid., 134-5. 8 Skidelsky, “Only Connect: Biography and Truth”, 13. 2 COMMANDER IN CHIEF Charmley – one a professor of literature, the other a professor of history – had claimed that “everywhere in academic life the subtle, the not-so-subtle denigration of biography grows apace,” and reported with profound con- cern that “the procedures of biography” were “under direct attack in the humanities.”9 Twenty-seven years later the reverse could probably be averred: tra- ditional history, rather than biography, having come under academic and public fire, while biography’s status both in academia and outside may be said to have skyrocketed. The snobbery, superficiality, and lack of credibil- ity of historians, where their work touches on real individuals, caused his- tory in that period to become suspect not only in the academy but outside, as the work of biographers served increasingly to place in question their accounts and interpretations of important historical events, personalities and developments. This is a change or turn that in time will repay deeper study, I be- lieve. However, since it has gone more or less unobserved in current stud- ies of biography,10 let me briefly explore what might be termed “the bio- graphical corrective,” as I have observed and experienced it, both as an author and as a teacher of the craft since the 1970s. Robert Skidelsky, in his 1988 essay, did acknowledge the rise of more pro- fessional (i.e. well-researched) approaches to modern biography, fueled by 9 Eric Homberger and John Charmley, “Introduction”, in: Homberger and Charmley, The Troubled Face, ix, xii. 10 In Mary Rhiel and David Suchoff’s edited work The Seductions of Biography (London: Routledge, 1996), based on a one-year program of “discussion and research on biog- raphy,” there was an excellent first attempt to move beyond The Troubled Face of Biog- raphy from both literary and historical-cultural perspectives.

  • Interview with Lady Soames “FATHER ALWAYS CAME FIRST, SECOND and THIRD”
    ! An Interview with Lady Soames “FATHER ALWAYS CAME FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD” Finest Hour 116, Autumn 2002 As Churchill’s daughter, Mary Soames had the run of 10 Downing Street and helped arrange dinner with Stalin. She talks to Graham Turner about eighty rich and varied years. Graham Turner is a journalist whom we knew years ago when he covered the motor industry and wrote a penetrating, oft-quoted book, The Leyland Papers. He has since moved to weightier subjects for the Daily Telegraph, by whose kind permission this article is reprinted. “I don’t think I was necessarily intended,” said Mary Soames, Winston and Clementine Churchill’s youngest daughter, “but I suppose I was the child of consolation. My parents were shattered when their third daughter, Marigold—who was only two and a half years old—died in 1921. It’s clear from letters my father wrote to my mother that, when I arrived the following year, he was delighted that the nursery had started again.” ! Mary Soames The way in which Marigold died was to have a decisive influence on Lady Soames’s own life. “Mummy had left her in the charge of a French nursery governess, Mademoiselle Rose, while she went to stay with the Duke and Duchess of Westminster at their home in Cheshire. Marigold, who was known as “Duckadilly” in the family, developed a very sore throat but, even when she became really ill, the governess still waited a day or two before sending for my mother. By that time, there was nothing even a specialist could do for her.

'Few things,' Mosley wrote, 'are more overrated than the effect of childish experiences on later life.' He charged psychoanalysis with the fascist insult of being 'feminine' for its 'negation of manhood and self-willt. It was attacked by Blackshirts as an 'occult science1. Mosley's own writings, however, contain numerous references to re-examination of his life in the light of analytical psychology.

  • LA FAMIGLIA the Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks
    LA FAMIGLIA The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks Eva Carlestål LA FAMIGLIA The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Anthropology presented at Uppsala University in 2005 ABSTRACT Carlestål, Eva, 2005. La Famiglia – The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks. DICA, Disser- tations in Cultural Anthropology, 3. 227 pp. Uppsala. ISSN 1651-7601, ISBN 91-506-1791-5. Anthropological data from fieldwork carried out among a fishing population in western Sicily show how related matrifocal nuclear families are tightly knit within larger, male-headed networks. The mother focus at the basic family level is thereby balanced and the system indi- cates that the mother-child unit does not function effectively on its own, as has often been argued for this type of family structure. As a result of dominating moral values which strong- ly emphasise the uniqueness of family and kin, people are brought up to depend heavily upon and to be loyal to their kin networks, to see themselves primarily as parts of these social units and less so as independent clearly bounded individuals, and to distinctly separate family members from non-family members. This dependence is further strengthened by matri- and/or patrivicinity being the dominant form of locality, by the traditional naming system as well as a continual use of kin terms, and by related people socialising and collaborating closely. The social and physical boundaries thus created around the family networks are further streng- thened by local architecture that symbolically communicates the closed family unit; by the woman, who embodies her family as well as their house, having her outdoor movements restric- ted in order to shield both herself and her family; by self-mastery when it comes to skilfully calculating one's actions and words as a means of controlling the impression one makes on others; and by local patriotism that separates one's co-villagers from foreigners.

  • Uef-Spinelli Group
    UEF-SPINELLI GROUP MANIFESTO 9 MAY 2021 At watershed moments in history, communities need to adapt their institutions to avoid sliding into irreversible decline, thus equipping themselves to govern new circumstances. After the end of the Cold War the European Union, with the creation of the monetary Union, took a first crucial step towards adapting its institutions; but it was unable to agree on a true fiscal and social policy for the Euro. Later, the Lisbon Treaty strengthened the legislative role of the European Parliament, but again failed to create a strong economic and political union in order to complete the Euro. Resulting from that, the EU was not equipped to react effectively to the first major challenges and crises of the XXI century: the financial crash of 2008, the migration flows of 2015- 2016, the rise of national populism, and the 2016 Brexit referendum. This failure also resulted in a strengthening of the role of national governments — as shown, for example, by the current excessive concentration of power within the European Council, whose actions are blocked by opposing national vetoes —, and in the EU’s chronic inability to develop a common foreign policy capable of promoting Europe’s common strategic interests. Now, however, the tune has changed. In the face of an unprecedented public health crisis and the corresponding collapse of its economies, Europe has reacted with unity and resolve, indicating the way forward for the future of European integration: it laid the foundations by starting with an unprecedented common vaccination strategy, for a “Europe of Health”, and unveiled a recovery plan which will be financed by shared borrowing and repaid by revenue from new EU taxes levied on the digital and financial giants and on polluting industries.
