  • ROBERT BRIAN TATE Robert Brian Tate 1921–2011
    ROBERT BRIAN TATE Robert Brian Tate 1921–2011 Life BRIAN TATE WAS A MAJOR FIGURE IN Hispanic studies, as much at home in Catalan and Latin as in Spanish. He was born in Belfast on 27 December 1921 and died on 21 February 2011. He was educated at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution: the school was unusual in offering Spanish at this period, and produced a number of eminent Hispanists (among them F. W. Pierce). In 1939 he began studies at Queen’s University, and in his second year left for war service in India, Nepal and Burma; while out east he began learning Arabic. In the company of General Slim he was one of the first to enter Rangoon in 1945. On graduation in 1948 with a first in French and Spanish, his teacher Ignasi González i Llubera (1893–1962) encouraged him to go to Barcelona and Girona (in Catalonia) to do research. (This was early in the Franco regime, when Catalan politics and Catalan studies in general were suppressed.) His MA thesis at Queen’s University was ‘The Life, Works and Ideas of Cardinal Margarit’ (1949), and his PhD (also Queen’s University, 1955) was ‘The Influence of Italian Humanism on the Historiography of Castile and Aragon during the Fifteenth Century’. After teaching at Manchester (assistant lecturer, 1949–52) and Queen’s (lecturer, 1952–6) he was appointed reader at Nottingham in 1956 and was professor (indeed, the first professor of Spanish at Nottingham) from 1958 to 1983; dean of the faculty of arts 1976–9; professor emeritus in 1991.

  • T.S. Eliot and Josep Carner in Dialogue Allusions to Eliot's Poetry
    e-ISSN 2037-6588 ISSN 0392-4777 Rassegna iberistica Vol. 42 – Num. 112 – Dicembre 2019 T.S. Eliot and Josep Carner in Dialogue Allusions to Eliot’s Poetry in Nabí Margalit Serra Bar-Ilan University, Israel Abstract The aim of this article is to show that Nabí’s poem, written by Catalan poet Josep Carner, contains allusions to the works of T.S. Eliot The Waste Land as well as to “Burnt Norton”, the first poem of Four Quartets. Allusion is a literary resource which is recurrent in both authors, to whom literary tradition is pivotal in the process of poetic creation. A thorough analysis of the main allusions of Nabí to these two poems of T.S. Eliot demonstrates that by means of allusion a dialogue between works of different times, languages and authors may be established. Keywords Literary allusion. Josep Carner. Nabí. Poetic dialogue.

  • Dossier De Premsa
    DOSSIER DE PREMSA 1 PRESENTACIÓ DE L’ANY CARNER Dir molt en un mig dir Aquests sis monosíl·labs són el lema triat per commemorar l’Any Carner. Formen part d’un vers del poeta que es completa amb seria mon afany. El vers explica de manera diàfana un aspecte essencial de la poesia d’aquell que encara és citat i recordat com el «Príncep dels poetes», un títol d’honor heretat de Verdaguer i de Maragall. Algunes literatures europees concedien la distinció al poeta que reunia el consens en l’escala de valoració poètica dels seus col·legues: Ronsard, Verlaine, Mallarmé, a la literatura francesa; Garcilaso, Góngora, Neruda, a la de llengua espanyola. El 4 de juny de 1970 Josep Carner moria a Brussel·les, al seu domicili, al carrer Lincoln 64 (al sud de la ciutat, al municipi d’Uccle / Ukkel). Commemorem el cinquantè aniversari de la seva mort. L’Any Carner, que s’allargarà fins ben entrat el 2021, desplegarà un gran nombre d’activitats, de tota mena i per a tota mena de públics. Les línies mestres abracen tots els camps literaris que ell va conrear (i també aquells àmbits en què d’altres artistes han situat la seva obra: la cançó, el teatre). S’han integrat a l’Any les iniciatives de molts municipis de Catalunya, però també iniciatives d’empreses culturals privades que volen homenatjar Carner. Els objectius de l’Any Carner són els de difondre la seva obra. L’agenda del web Carner posarà al dia els actes i les manifestacions que es vagin preparant.

  • The Exiles of Eaton Hastings
    1 The Exiles of Eaton Hastings Eaton Hastings is little more than a hamlet, situated south-west of Oxford on the upper reaches of the Thames. Motorists may be forgiven for not noticing that they have passed through it on the road between Faringdon and Lechlade, since it now consists only of a few cottages belonging to the Buscot Estate. Buscot Park and its 18th century mansion were acquired in 1889 by the Scottish financier and railway magnate Alexander Henderson, who in 1916 was ennobled as the first Baron Faringdon. His grandson Gavin, who succeeded to the title and estates in 1934, was a contemporary of Harold Acton at Christ Church, where he was one of the most flamboyant of the jeunesse dorée. (He has a walk-on part in Decline and Fall as Lord Parakeet.) In 1924 he emerged from Oxford with a fourth class in Schools and a reputation for frivolity, but by the time he inherited his grandfather’s estate ten years later he had becomea committed socialist and pacifist. On the outbreak of the Spanish civil war he joined a British field hospital in Aragón, and had his Rolls Royce adapted for use as an ambulance on the Teruel front. Back in England he was one of the founders of the National Joint Council for Spanish Relief. On 20 May 1937, when the siege of Bilbao by Franco’s Nationalists was drawing to a close, some four thousand Basque children were evacuated on an old cruise liner commissioned by this Council, which set up a committee to organise the exodus and its reception.

La dècada dels setanta La difusió de l’obra martipoliana al llarg d’aquesta dècada es basarà només en antologies i a quatre llengües: espanyol, portuguès, anglès i neerlandès. Aquesta difusió exterior va ser una conseqüència lògica d’una recepció interna més nor- malitzada, ja que fins al 1972 la seva obra havia estat editada en condicions força marginals.1 Tanmateix, just en l’inici de la dècada, Antoni Pous, aleshores a la Universitat de Tubingen, i Johannes Hösle elaboren una antologia bilingüe Kata- lanische Lyrik (1970), en què inclouen set seccions de «La Creació».2 Martí i Pol començà a accedir a la publicació en editorials emblemàtiques grà- cies a les gestions de Francesc Vallverdú i Àlex Broch.
