  • Pan Macmillan September 2021 Highlights
    Pan Macmillan September 2021 Highlights They Got You Too Futhi Ntshingila Hans van Rooyen is a former police general raised by two women who survived the 1899 South African War. He finds himself being cared for in an old age home by the daughter of liberation struggle activists. At 80, he carries with him the memories of crimes he committed as an officer under the apartheid government. Having eluded the public confessions at the TRC for his time in the Border Wars, he retained his position in the democratic South Africa, serving as an institutional memory for a new generation of police recruits. Zoe Zondi is tasked to care for the old man. Her gentle and compassionate nature prompts Hans to review his decision to go to the grave with all his secrets. Zoe has her own life story to tell and, as their unlikely bond deepens, strengthened by the isolation that COVID-19 lockdown brings, they provide a safe space for each other to say the things that are often left unsaid. Futhi Ntshingila is a writer from Pietermaritzburg. The author of Shameless and Do Not Go Gentle, her work centres on women and marginalised communities. Futhi holds a Master’s Degree in Conflict Resolution and currently lives and works in Pretoria. • ISBN: 9781770107281 • Format: Trade Paperback • Genre: Fiction • Extent: TBC • Price: R290,00 IMMEDIATE RELEASE Shuggie Bain Winner of the Booker Prize 2020 July release Douglas Stuart It is 1981.

Peter Iver KAUFMAN Moreana Vol.47, 179-180 165-193 DIS-MANTELING MORE Peter Iver Kaufman University of Richmond, Virginia Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall, winner of the prestigious 2009 Booker-Man award for fiction, re-presents the 1520s and early 1530s from Thomas Cromwell’s perspective. Mantel mistakenly underscores Cromwell’s confessional neutrality and imagines his kindness as well as Thomas More’s alleged cruelty. The book recycles old and threadbare accusations that More himself answered. “Dis-Manteling” collects evidence for the accuracy of More’s answers and supplies alternative explanations for events and for More’s attitudes that Mantel packs into her accusations. Wolf Hall is admirably readable, although prejudicial. Perhaps it is fair for fiction to distort so ascertainably, yet I should think that historians will want to have a dissent on the record.

  • HILARY MANTEL's WOLF HALL Tudor İngiltere'sinin
    Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi Enstitüsü Bilimler Sosyal AN “OCCULT” HISTORY OF TUDOR ENGLAND: HILARY MANTEL’S WOLF HALL Tudor İngiltere’sinin “Esrarengiz” Tarihi: Hılary Mantel’in Wolf Hall Romanı Yrd. Doç. Kubilay GEÇİKLİ Özet Hilary Mantel’ın sansasyonel romanı Wolf Hall tarihsel roman türüne kazandırdığı farklı yaklaşımla dikkat çeken bir eserdir. Yazar Mantel romanında tarih ve tarihsel roman yazımıyla ilgili çağdaş algılayışlardan hem etkilenmiş hem de etkilenmemiş bir görüntü çizmektedir. Postmodern tarihsel romanın tarihsel gerçekliği sorgulama ve sorunsallaştırma girişimlerine kuşkuyla yaklaşan Mantel, romanındaki tarih anlatısının gerçeğe olabildiğince yaklaşması için çaba sarf etmiştir. Böylelikle okur anlatılan dönemde 77 gerçekten yaşamış gibi hissetme imtiyazına kavuşmuştur. Romanın ironik ve satirik üslubu ve mizahı trajik olanla ustaca birleştirmesi özde öznel olan bir türü nesnelliğe yaklaştırmıştır. Roman İngiliz tarihinin en görkemli ama aynı zamanda en tartışmalı devirlerinden biri olan Tudor döneminin gizemini çözme noktasında başarılı bir girişim olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Tarih, tarihsel roman, Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel, Tudor Dönemi Abstract Hilary Mantel’s sensational Wolf Hall is remarkable for the different perspective it has brought to the writing of historical fiction. Mantel seems to be both affected and not affected by the contemporary trends in the perceptions of history and historical novel writing. Sceptical of the attempts in postmodernist historical fiction to question and/or problematize the historical reality, Mantel wants to make the history she narrates in her novel seem as real as possible. With Mantel’s peculiar narrative style, the reader has the privilege of having the sense of living in the periods the novel describes. Yrd. Doç. Dr., Atatürk Üniversitesi, Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Kültürü ve Edebiyatı Anabilim Dalı Öğretim Üyesi.

Bubbles in the SkyHave fun and learn to read and write English words the fun way. 56 street maps focussed on town centres showing places of interest, car park locations and one-way streets. These approaches only go so far. Hartsock situates narrative literary journalism within the broader histories of the American tradition of "objective" journalism and the standard novel.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

Book Review - Margaret Atwood, The Testaments (New York: Doubleday, 2019). Bridgewater Review, 39(1), 36-37. Available at: https://vc.bridgew.edu/br_rev/vol39/iss1/13 This item is available as part of Virtual Commons, the open-access institutional repository of Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, Massachusetts. BOOK REVIEWS Margaret Atwood, The Testaments (New York: Aunt Lydia, and new characters Agnes Doubleday, 2019). Jemima and Daisy. This text attempts to redeem Aunt Lydia by revealing her Halina Adams back story: her life before Gilead, how she was converted to the Aunts, and ne image in Margaret Atwood’s The her current mission to undermine the regime. Atwood includes an epigraph Testaments (2019) stands out to me—not only from George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda pre- as a commentary on our age of “alternative sumably to explain the humanization O of this previously repulsive character: facts,” but also as a gloss on how we might read “Every woman is supposed to have this follow up to her popular and highly regarded the same set of motives, or else to be a The Handmaid’s Tale (1985). The image appears in a monster.” Yet, Aunt Lydia’s metamor- conversation between two Aunts-in-training, called phosis from arch believer to revolu- tionary seems a bit like retconning “Supplicants.” Discussing the motto of the Aunt at the expense of her deliciously evil school, one of the Supplicants notes that Latin was characterization in the original novel.
