Generic Experiment and Confusion in Early Canadian Novels of the Great War
Generic Experiment and Confusion in Early Canadian Novels of the Great War Colin Hill he Canadian novel changed dramatically in the years immediately following the Great War of 1914-18. In the 1920s and ’30s an innovative, modern, cosmopolitan, and multi-gen- ericT literary realism began to challenge and supersede the nineteenth- century romanticism that had loomed large in the national fiction at least since Confederation. Two formative literary magazines were found- ed shortly after the 1918 armistice: Canadian Bookman in 1919 and The Canadian Forum in 1920. Both publications printed articles and mani- festos that demanded a new realism capable of representing the modern and independent Canada that had emerged from the war. In these same years, Canadian writers from all regions began to produce modern-real- ist novels in various sub-genres, including prairie realism, urban realism, and social realism. These writers challenged the verbose and ornate styles of their predecessors with a language that was idiomatic and dir- ect. They sought narrative objectivism and impersonality in accordance with the documentary approach they brought to their representations of contemporary Canada. The most ambitious and creative modern realists experimented with literary form and reworked innovative and international modernist devices to express their interest in exploring and representing human psychology. By the end of the 1920s, some of the best examples of these multi-generic modern-realist works had been published, and a few of them are still read today: J.G. Sime’s Sister Woman (1919), Douglas Durkin’s The Magpie (1923), Frederick Philip Grove’s Settlers of the Marsh (1925), Martha Ostenso’s Wild Geese (1925), Morley Callaghan’s Strange Fugitive (1928), and Raymond Knister’s White Narcissus (1929).

CHAPTER I THE CRITICS The 42nd Parallel, the first volume of the trilogy, U.S.A., was first published on February 19, 1930- It was followed by 1919 on March 10, 1932, and The Big Money on August 1, 1936. U.S.A., which combines these three novels, was issued on January 27, 1938. There is as yet no full-length critical and biographical study of Dos Passes, although one is now in the process of being edited for publication.^ His work has, however, attracted the notice of the leading reviewers and is discussed in those treatises dealing with the American novel of the twentieth cen tury.

Postmodernist War Fiction Findley's the Wars
Evelyn Cobley Postmodernist War Fiction Findley's The Wars Since the most celebrated accounts of the First World War were produced by combatants,1 it has generally been assumed that only those who had actually been at the front were authorized to reproduce the experience imaginatively. It is not surprising, then, that Henry de Montherlant's Le Songe (1954), set at the front in 1918, was discredited as soon as it was discovered that the author himself had never been near the front. To this day, we find a lingering conviction, exemplified in Paul Fussell's writing on the two World Wars and Vietnam, that any commentary on war has to be grounded in firsthand experience.2 Written sixty years after the First World War, by an author who had no war experience of any kind, The Wars obviously contravenes this precondition of personal suffer- ing. Fussell might well ask what right Findley has to write about a war which was incomprehensible even to combatants. The assumption behind this privileging of experience is that an event loses some kind of sponta- neously given "truth" in the process of reinscription. The Wars has been critically acclaimed not only because of its literary merits but also because poststructuralist thought has deconstructed such unproblematical reliance on historical origin. However, most criticism has situated the novel in the context of Canadian literature or postmodern metafiction.3 Although I agree that the plural in the title invites an analysis of the novel beyond the narrow historical confines of the First World War, I would, nevertheless, suggest that the specific war context has been too easily ignored.

TOTALITARIANISM and PARTISAN REVIEW Benli
ABSTRACT Title of Document: DIALECTICS OF DISENCHANTMENT: TOTALITARIANISM AND PARTISAN REVIEW Benli Moshe Shechter, Ph.D., 2011 Directed By: Professor Vladimir Tismaneanu, Department of Government and Politics This dissertation takes the literary and culturally modern magazine, Partisan Review (1934-2003), as its case study, specifically recounting its early intellectual history from 1934 to 1941. During this formative period, its contributing editors broke from their initial engagement with political radicalism and extremism to re-embrace the demo-liberalism of America's foundational principles during, and in the wake of, the Second World War. Indeed, Partisan Review 's history is the history of thinking and re-thinking “totalitarianism” as its editors journeyed through the dialectics of disenchantment. Following their early (mis)adventures pursuant of the radical politics of literature, their break in the history of social and political thought, sounding pragmatic calls for an end to ideological fanaticism, was one that then required courage, integrity, and a belief in the moral responsibility of humanity. Intellectuals long affiliated with the journal thus provide us with models of eclectic intellectual life in pursuit of the open society, as does, indeed, the Partisan Review . DIALECTICS OF DISENCHANTMENT: TOTALITARIANISM AND PARTISAN REVIEW.

Fred Alford Professor Charles E. Butterworth Professor James M. Glass Professor Roberto Patricio Korzeniewicz © Copyright by Benli M. Shechter 2011 Preface What steered me in the direction of this dissertation topic—beyond my supervisor— was my interest in what seems to be a perennial battle: intellectuals versus anti- intellectuals.

Hungarian Studies Review
Retaining the Accent: Hugo Gellert and the Hungarian Cultural-Political Nexus James M. Wechsler Best known for his fiercely trenchant prints and drawings of the 1930s, Hungarian-American artist Hugo Gellert was an extraordinarily influential figure in American art of the early twentieth century, (figure 1, see page 101) Gellert was extremely prolific artistically, and, as a member of the American Communist Party (CPUSA) notoriously active politically. Though born in Budapest, Gellert spent most of his entire long life in the United States. He is rightly considered an American artist, however, Gellert's connections to his mother country remained deep and complex. Hugo Gellert was born Hugo Griinbaum on 3 May 1892, the eldest child of the tailor Adolf Griinbaum and Katicza (Schwartz) Griinbaum.1 A working class Jewish family, the Griinbaums lived at Magyar utca 25, in the Jewish, industrial neighborhood of IJjpest, [New Pest, since 1950 the Fourth District] on the outskirts of Budapest, Hungary.2 Both Adolf and Katicza came to the city from villages in the Hungarian countryside, Adolf from Zempleny County to the northeast (in present day Slovakia), and Katicza from the Lake Balaton region to the southwest. It appears that in the late 1890s Adolf and his young family joined Katicza's family and Adolf's brother Hermann in downtown Budapest on Kazinczy utca, in the Pest Jewish Triangle.3 Gellert attended public school at the Lovag utca gimnazium, a few blocks from home. There he made his earliest connection between art and revolution, recalling that "Professor Kiel was my history teacher. He lectured with special enthusiasm about the Renaissance of the 15th Century and about the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49 and its poet, Petofi."4 The family remained in the Pest Jewish Triangle while Adolf Griinbaum made his way to the Netherlands in the autumn of 1905.
