  • Il Suo Legame Con Lo Scrittore Kingsley Amis Ha Fatto Storia Nella Swinging
    FAMEstoria di donna DAMORE Il suo legame’ con lo scrittore Kingsley Amis ha fatto storia nella Swinging London. Elizabeth Jane Howard - una vita da seduttrice sfortunata - aveva la scrittura nel sangue. Il suo talento è esploso in tarda età, lontano dagli uomini... di STEFANIA BONACINA ALTA, LONGILINEA E CON UNA CASCATA di capelli biondi. La prima impres- sione che registrano gli occhi adolescenti di Martin Amis posandosi su Elizabeth Jane Howard, l’amante del padre, è quella di una dea in sottoveste che si reca in cucina per preparare a lui e ai suoi fratelli uova e pancetta. La scena si svolge nel 1962 nell’appartamento di Kingsley Amis, mattatore della scena letteraria. I due amanti si sono incontrati poche settimane prima al Festival letterario di Cheltenham, di cui lei era diret- trice artistica e lui oratore sul tema “sesso e censura”; un’attrazione così fatale da porre fine in pochi mesi ai rispettivi matrimoni. Questo incontro segnerà per l’au- trice best seller de La Saga dei Cazalet l’inizio di una nuova vita alla soglia dei 40 anni – «Ho riso con un uomo per la prima volta», dichiarerà in un’intervista – ma non sarà questa la fine della sua travagliata vita sentimentale. L’AMORE “MALATO” DEL PADRE Nata a Londra nel 1923 in una famiglia tanto al- to borghese quanto disfunzionale, Elizabeth sconterà tutta la vita una fame d’amore condita dalla mancanza di autostima accumulata durante l’infanzia. Il padre, David, svogliato erede di un impero di commercio di legnami ed eroe di guerra, la ama un po’ troppo al punto da “stringerle i seni e baciarla” durante l’adolescenza.

Notes Index Copyright About the Book Human consciousness, long the province of literature, has lately come in for a remapping – even rediscovery – by the natural sciences, driven by developments in Artificial Intelligence, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. But as the richest record we have of human consciousness, literature, David Lodge suggests, may offer a kind of knowledge about this phenomenon that is complementary, not opposed, to scientific knowledge. Writing with characteristic wit and brio, and employing the insight and acumen of a skilled novelist and critic, Lodge here explores the representation of human consciousness in fiction (mainly English and American) in the light of recent investigations in cognitive science, neuroscience, and related disciplines. How, Lodge asks, does the novel represent consciousness? And how has this changed over time? In a series of interconnected essays, he pursues this question down various paths: how does the novel's method compare with that of other creative media such as film? How does the consciousness (and unconscious) of the creative writer do its work? And how can criticism infer the nature of this process through formal analysis? In essays on Charles Dickens, E.M.

  • 00 Amis Prelims.Qxd
    1 Life and contexts The early years, 1949–73 Martin Amis was born on 25 August 1949. Looking back he reflects, “four days later, the Russians successfully tested their first atom bomb, [. .] the world had taken a turn for the worse” (EM 1). As he grew up, Amis came to see himself as representative of a generation that had inherited a world radically different from that in which his father, Kingsley Amis, had lived, one threatened by nuclear anni- hilation. He concluded that his father’s generation “got it hugely wrong,” and that, in consequence, his own generation faced a drastically deteriorated stage of modernity, “trapped in the great mistake” (EM 13). Frequently Amis depicts his father’s generation as the last inhabitants of an Edenic state that they had been responsible for losing: “Post-1945 life is completely different from everything that came before it. We are like no other people in history” (McGrath 1987: 194). So much of Martin Amis’s outlook and work has been formed in reaction to the beliefs and writing of his father, Kingsley (see Criticism, p. 86). Martin has called his relationship to his father “a very enjoyable adversarial” one, “argumentative, but close” (Ross 1987: 24). When he came to write his memoir, Experience, as he was turning fifty, he significantly chose to organize the material of his own life in parallel to that of his father. The “Envoy” concludes: “I am you and you are me” (E 364). But the ways in which he fights off his father as much as he identifies with him are complex and contribute to the originality of the son’s fictional writing.

  • Martin Amis's "Money" and "Time's Arrow"
    MARTIN AMIS'S "MONEY" AND "TIME'S ARROW" http://www.csulb.edu/~bhfinney/Amis1.html WHAT'S AMIS IN CONTEMPORARY BRITISH FICTION? MARTIN AMIS'S MONEY AND TIME'S ARROW 1 The son of Kingsley Amis, a writer who began his literary life - with John Osborne and John Wain - as one of the Angry Young Men, Martin Amis outstripped his father's reputation for offending the literary niceties of his day with his first novel, The Rachel Papers (1973). Amis was twenty four when the book appeared to admiring reviews. Many of the features that characterize Amis's subsequent fiction are already discernible in this book - its scatalogical and satiric treatment of sex, its comic description of the indignities of bodily life (spots, smells, toilet habits, sexual infection and the like), and above all its inventive deployment of language. The protagonist and narrator is Charles Highway who spends the last five hours of his nineteenth year reading over his diaries covering the last year of his adolescence, a year in which he manages to seduce Rachel and gain entry to Oxford University. The diaries reveal a representative cool young man of the swinging early 1970s. What is distinctive about the book is its infatuation with the primacy of writing over experience. Experience only becomes real for Charles when it is written down. He prefers reading about his doings of the last year to spending time with Rachel. She has been subdued by stratagems already recorded in one of his many notebooks, Conquests and Techniques: A Synthesis (the use of italics forming its own comment on Charles' literary pretentiousness).

  • Elizabeth Jane Howard: a Dangerous Innocence Free
    FREE ELIZABETH JANE HOWARD: A DANGEROUS INNOCENCE PDF Artemis Cooper | 384 pages | 22 Sep 2016 | Hodder & Stoughton General Division | 9781848549272 | English | London, United Kingdom Elizabeth Jane Howard: A Dangerous Innocence by Artemis Cooper – review | Books | The Guardian Elizabeth Jane Howard wrote brilliant novels about what love can do to people, but in her own life the lasting relationship she sought so ardently always eluded her. She grew up yearning to be an actress; but when that ambition was thwarted by marriage and the war, she turned to fiction. Her first novel, The Beautiful Visit, won the John Elizabeth Jane Howard: A Dangerous Innocence Rhys prize - she went on to write fourteen more, of which the best-loved were the five volumes of The Cazalet Chronicle. Following her divorce from her first husband, the celebrated naturalist Peter Scott, Jane embarked on a string of high-profile affairs with Cecil Day-Lewis, Arthur Koestler and Laurie Lee, which turned her into a literary femme fatale. Yet the image of a sophisticated woman hid a romantic innocence which clouded her emotional judgement. She was nearing the end of a disastrous second marriage when she met Kingsley Amis, and for a few years they were a brilliant and glamorous couple - until that marriage too disintegrated. She settled in Suffolk where she wrote and entertained friends, but her turbulent love life was not over yet. In her early seventies Jane fell for a conman. His unmasking was the final disillusion, and inspired one of her most powerful novels, Falling. Artemis Cooper interviewed Jane several times in Suffolk.

  • Kingsley Amis
    THE ART OF FICTION NO. 59 KINGSLEY AMIS Kingsley Amis, the former Angry Young Man, lives in a large, early-nineteenth-century house beside a wooded common. To reach it, one makes a journey similar to that described by the narrator of Girl, 20 when he visits Sir Roy Vandervane: first by tube to the end of the Northern Line at Barnet; then, following a phone call from the station to say where one is, on foot up a stiff slope; and finally down a suburban road. But instead of being picked up en route by Sir Roy’s black chum, Gilbert, I was intercepted by Amis’s tall and imposing blond wife, the novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard. Amis’s study was a picture of bohemian disorder. Scattered across the floor were several teetering piles of poetry books and a mass of old 78 r.p.m. jazz records, while the big Adler typewriter on his desk was almost hidden behind a screen of empty bottles of sparkling wine which he’d recently sampled in his capacity as drink correspondent for Penthouse. A more sober note was struck by some shelves containing a complete Encyclopaedia Britannica, a thirteen-volume O.E.D., and various other authoritative tomes, but this was quickly dispelled by the sight of a small sherry cask in one corner, full, I was told, of whiskey. For someone whose only regular exercise is strolling to and from the local pub, Amis at fifty-three is well preserved, with just a modest paunch hinted at beneath the light blue pullover and brown slacks he was wearing when we met.

  • Elizabeth Jane Howard
    Elizabeth Jane Howard The writer Elizabeth Jane Howard (1923-2014) spent much time during her formative years at her grandparents' houses near Battle, first at Home Place in Whatlington, then at The Beacon near Staplecross. She used Home Place as the setting for her best-selling "Cazalet Chronicles", a five- novel family saga spanning the period before, during, and after the Second World War. Battle, its station, shops, and surroundings, is highly recognisable; Howard was meticulously accurate in the details of her settings. This accuracy contributes to the charm and readability of her novels. Her readers feel drawn into a real place, inhabited by real people. Howard's grandfather – “the Brig" in the novels – ran the family timber business. He renovated his Sussex houses using fine quality panelling and floors made of jarrah wood, a rare wood from Western Australia; some of these interiors survive. The family was comfortably off and traditional in its attitudes. Sons joined the family firm, daughters were educated mainly at home, by governesses. Jane, as Elizabeth Jane Howard was always known, lived in London with her father David, who was charming but "duplicitous and unsafe", and her mother Kit, daughter of the composer Sir Arthur Somervell. Kit had given up a career with Diaghilev's Ballets Russes for an ultimately unhappy marriage to the philandering David. Jane, acutely aware of tensions which she would later examine in her fiction, took refuge in the warm, relaxed atmosphere of the extended family life in Sussex. "I spent the mornings up apple trees reading Captain Marryat and R.M.
