  • The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock
    Transoceanic Canada: The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock by Matthew Hiebert B.A., The University of Winnipeg, 1997 M.A., The University of Amsterdam, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) The University Of British Columbia (Vancouver) August 2013 c Matthew Hiebert, 2013 ABSTRACT Through a critical examination of his oeuvre in relation to his transoceanic geographical and intellectual mobility, this dissertation argues that George Woodcock (1912-1995) articulates and applies a normative and methodological approach I term “regional cosmopolitanism.” I trace the development of this philosophy from its germination in London’s thirties and forties, when Woodcock drifted from the poetics of the “Auden generation” towards the anti-imperialism of Mahatma Gandhi and the anarchist aesthetic modernism of Sir Herbert Read. I show how these connected influences—and those also of Mulk Raj Anand, Marie-Louise Berneri, Prince Peter Kropotkin, George Orwell, and French Surrealism—affected Woodcock’s critical engagements via print and radio with the Canadian cultural landscape of the Cold War and its concurrent countercultural long sixties. Woodcock’s dynamic and dialectical understanding of the relationship between literature and society produced a key intervention in the development of Canadian literature and its critical study leading up to the establishment of the Canada Council and the groundbreaking journal Canadian Literature. Through his research and travels in India—where he established relations with the exiled Dalai Lama and major figures of an independent English Indian literature—Woodcock relinquished the universalism of his modernist heritage in practising, as I show, a postcolonial and postmodern situated critical cosmopolitanism that advocates globally relevant regional culture as the interplay of various traditions shaped by specific geographies.

IRWIN Opinion BY DONALD CAMERON A QUARTERLY OF CRITICISM AND R€VI€W SWARMING OF POETS An Editorial Reportage George Woodcock WHEN Canadian Literature began, twelve years ago, I promised that every boo! k oTHf Everse by a Canadian poet, as well as every novel published in this country, would be reviewed in its pages. It was an easy promise in a year—1959 — when twenty-four volumes of poetry were all that the bibliographer who compiled our checklist of publications could discover. All twenty-four, I believe, were duly reviewed. Through the Fifties, Northrop Frye, writing his yearly poetry article in the University of Toronto Quarterly, had been able to devote a few sentences or even a few paragraphs to every book of verse that appeared ; they came, in those days, mainly from the regular publishers, who lost money on good poets to give prestige to their lists. There were few small presses; amateur publishing hardly existed; the mimeograph revolution had not begun. The change since then was brought home to me with formidable emphasis on a recent morning when nineteen books of verse arrived for review in one mail delivery.

  • FROM EMILY CARR to JOY COGHILL . . . and BACK: Writing the Self in Song of This Place
    FROM EMILY CARR TO JOY COGHILL . AND BACK: Writing the Self in Song of This Place SHERRILL GRACE "I hate painting portraits. I am embarrassed at what seems to me to be impertinence and presumption, pulling into visibility what every soul has [a] right to keep private. The better a portrait, the more indecent and naked the sitter must feel." (Journal 31 December 1940, Hundreds and Thousands•, Carr 891-92) I Y THE TIME BRITISH COLUMBIA painter Emily Carr (1871-1945) expressed these sharp reservations about portraiture in one of Bher autobiographical texts, she had begun to achieve some of the recognition that, since her death, has marked her as one of the finest talents of her generation, a painter, as Sharyn Udall has demonstrated, easily on a par with Frieda Kahlo and Georgia O'Keefe, and an artist Canadians now rank with (or even above) the Group of Seven and Tom Thomson. For all her formidable personality and artistic daring (see Figure 1), Carr was a reserved, private person, and her comment (above) on portraiture suggests that she may have feared how others would depict her when she was no longer alive to protest. That she wrote her own autobiography in several books and stories suggests, moreover, that she wanted to control the invention of her life, to tell it herself, as she saw it, rather than trust to others to get things right. And well might she have been concerned about portraiture because few other Canadian artists have attracted as much attention from biographers and other artists as has Carr.

  • The Scholar Visionary: Malcolm Ross at Ninety
    MARY McGrLLIVRAY The Scholar Visionary: Malcolm Ross at Ninety HEN I FIRST HEARD of Malcolm Ross, I was a second-year W student here at Dalhousie. Malcolm Parks, my advisor, spoke so highly of Ross as a scholar and a teacher that I enrolled imme­ diately in Ross's course in Victorian liter<!ture. So I saw Malcolm Ross a few weeks after I'd heard of him. At the same time, I met him without his being there at all . When I was wandering the Shirreff Hall Library late one night, I picked up a novel I'd never read by a writer of whom I'd never heard: Tbe Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence. It was in paperl.Jack, one ur a series of which I'd also never heard. I had no idea Malcolm Ross had anything to do with the series, or with the writer, but the book grabbed me and I stayed up all night to finish it. In the space of a few weeks, in one case unwittingly, I'd encountered evidence of the several facets of the genius of a man whom I eventually came to see not only as a scholar, but as a kind of visionary. I came to see a man who enacted a vision and an idealism which have nur­ tured whole communities-communities of scholars, of writers, of artists and actors and teachers. Underlying this vision and idealism is his profound sense of what he has called "the hidden unifying force behind all things, forming and informing everything." 1 1 The text of this article is based on a lecture de li vered at Dalhousie University on 12 January 2001 to celebrate tv! alco lm Ross·s ninetieth birthday.
