Evelyn Waugh Newsletter and Stud EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Vol. 40, No.1 Spring 2009 The Three Bears (or The Third Teddy Bear) by James Morris Aloysius, Archibald, Anonymous. Aloysius was Sebastian's teddy bear as we know, Archibald John Betjeman's. Anonymous, like Harry Lime, will be revealed later, He's the Third Teddy Bear, Bear with me. He was made much later than either Aloysius or Archie; Right in the middle of the Swinging Sixties in fact, As a warning. He cost 'seven guineas', That was because he was bought 'over the West' In an expensive shop. The character that bought it-- Didn't care much for the up-market shop he bought it from, Because he had a keen sense of class difference, of 'one's station in life'. Speaking of which-- Who would be the most upper-crust of the English Catholic novelists of the last century? Waugh was certainly the crustiest but what about Graham Greene? His father the headmaster of a public school, Where does that place him--Upper Class or Upper Middle Class? My author was working-class; his father a coal-miner, his mother a seamstress. (His dreaming spires were the coal stacks around Bolton) He spent much of his working life driving a lorry. He spent his childhood in absolute poverty. When we first meet Aloysius he is in a car; 'Sebastian's Teddy-bear sat at the wheel. We put him between us--"Take care he's not sick"'. The last time we see Anonymous he is in a car too; (after an abortion) 'And for some reason best known to herself she would keep that teddy bear on her knee.' Charles and Sebastian just setting out in Hardcastle’s car, full of life, Lily going home after the abortion; her belly rent of life. file:////uol.le.ac.uk/...c144/My%20Documents/Evelyn%20Waugh/Evelyn%20Waugh%20Studies/Newsletters/Newsletters/Newsletter_40.1.htm[04/12/2013 14:44:59] EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD Anonymous is a big teddy bear in the film with Michael Caine, Which is strange--because he represents a very tiny little thing, An aborted baby; 'it don't half bring it home to you what you are and what you have done when you see a helpless little thing like that lying in front of you in your own hands' Catholic novelists of the last century: Waugh, Greene, Muriel Spark then Anthony Burgess. How does Anthony Burgess slip into this fourth position? He wasn’t thought a Catholic novelist in my days of youth. 'Anti-Catholic novelist' would seem a more appropriate epithet. Are the ideas in A Clockwork Orange and Brideshead Revisited in any way comparable? Why isn't my author on the list? 'It went flying through the air and she made a grab with her two hands held upwards as though she was catching a child'. 'Just then it let out a little squeak I'd forgot that it had this little squeak built in.' 'So Lily turns to me and puts her face right up against my chest. Pressing it into me.' 'Forgiving you might say'. Forgiving each other for what they have done. The teddy between them, Such a tender scene really. What do you think-- Are we Catholic critics remiss in our lack of appreciation of this fine author? Are we just a little lost in the fairy tale of Brideshead? Are we indulging in this fairy tale to the detriment of other real-world scenarios? Are we not just a little bit enamored of the glamour? Do we not bask in the glow? Anonymous, The teddy with no name, 'No names', 'no names' the abortionist says. How he sustains the characterization of this loveable rogue with the things he does-- Specifically procuring an abortion for a respectable woman he has made pregnant (his one concern to get the price down)--is masterful. How he manages to keep our sympathy with him is literary work of the the highest standard, achieving parity with Waugh and much greater than anything in Graham Greene. file:////uol.le.ac.uk/...c144/My%20Documents/Evelyn%20Waugh/Evelyn%20Waugh%20Studies/Newsletters/Newsletters/Newsletter_40.1.htm[04/12/2013 14:44:59] EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD My theme isn't memory-- But maybe Aloysius was the forebear of Anonymous. He must have read Waugh. He wrote many plays staged on the the West End. I cannot find one critical appraisal of him, Not one. By the way Brideshead has recently been travestied in a new film, The same with this author's work. The original film is held to be a classic. As I say, this author, this Catholic author, right, slap, bang in the middle of the Swinging Sixties, puts forth this salutary story as a warning of the consequences of a relaxation of sexual mores. He took the central Catholic issue of abortion and put it at the centre of his book. He challenged the whole of England to take another look; 'I'm your Dad', 'This is my son, and I'm one of them that has done this to him', ‘Christ, help me', 'You know what you did, Alfie, you murdered him' ‘Yes, mate, you set it all up and for thirty nicker and you had him done to death' It is now time to speak of Archie. Aloysius wrote to him; 'All this about "waiting in God's good time" is intolerably wet' 'The true Church is unique, indivisible and there is nothing remotely like it' Aloysius was bald in his statements, Archie was bald but wooly-headed. A cruel blow for Archie was when Lady Penelope converted, Archie remained an Anglican bear, Stubbornly so. A lot of teddy bears were made in Germany, Archie was probably made in Germany, He so wanted to be English. Aloysius was neglected at the end-- 'just thrown there'. Archie was neglected until Philip Larkin rehabilitated him. He looked terrible in his last television appearances; Frayed at the edges, Falling apart. On second thought maybe I’m being too harsh. He stood alone against Modernism in Architecture and Poetry in the 1940s, 1950s. He should be held in high esteem for that. file:////uol.le.ac.uk/...c144/My%20Documents/Evelyn%20Waugh/Evelyn%20Waugh%20Studies/Newsletters/Newsletters/Newsletter_40.1.htm[04/12/2013 14:44:59] EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD My brother met Peter Bull (the owner of Delicatessen). He also met Auberon Waugh on a trip to Lourdes. More of him later. Waugh pictured himself as a Teddy Boy in a response to a Priestley attack. Yes, I can seen him--brothel creepers on, bicycle chain in hand, Hair swept back. Alfie is similar to Sebastian; attractive, funny, charming. There is a fundamental difference though; Sebastian--'all I want to be is happy'. Alfie; 'I just want to see everybody happy'. He is really more like Lady Celia-- 'Why miss an opportunity to give pleasure' Incidentally, Lady Celia was played by Jane Asher in the television series. She played Annie in the classic film version. She seems only to do cookery programmes now. Her farewell words to Alfie--'don’t let your custard spoil'. Julia Foster was in the film. She made her name in Half-a-Sixpence, Gilda? Ruby was played by Shelley Winters. She played Lolita's mum. Her final words to him--'he's younger than you are'. So many connections; Eleanor Bron the doctor. Bron Waugh, Evelyn's son. So much to remember-- His handling of sequential time is as sure-footed as Evelyn Waugh, The whole book moves towards the abortion scene climax. The development of Alfie's understanding (his learning curve) is beautifully obviated to keep his character intact. It never falters. It is more perfect than Brideshead actually. It's a masterpiece of story-telling, And plain truth-telling of Shakespearean intensity. It is now time to speak of my own family. Like the Flyte family we were; equally spaced (two elder boys, two younger girls) the same traits. John 1) Such a difficult relationship with my father. file:////uol.le.ac.uk/...c144/My%20Documents/Evelyn%20Waugh/Evelyn%20Waugh%20Studies/Newsletters/Newsletters/Newsletter_40.1.htm[04/12/2013 14:44:59] EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD 2) He was a collector of Superman comics (Bridey's matchboxes?) 3) 'There was no spark of contemporary life about him', his fashion sense nil. 4) A preternatural understanding of the Faith from day one. Sebastian? That would be me of course. Not the 'arresting beauty' I hasten to add. But certainly 'in love with his own childhood' and the running away. I said; 'I suffered a happy childhood in a close family' 'Suffered?' 'Yes' Bemused like Hooper. Lady Julia; no that doesn't work because Mary's gone against the Church. Or rather--'I'm on my own spiritual journey' I once asked her--'but when are you going to arrive?' No, Barbara, for her beauty and the sadness in her eyes 'the completion of her beauty' and the clinging to the Faith in crisis. Mary's Cordelia instead, Practical like her (she's a nurse) I am waiting for a twitch upon the tread. They write similarly; 'Sip, sip, sip, like a dowager all day long' 'I watched Annie scrub, scrub, scrub.' Alfie opines; 'I do believe anything too cold paralyses the taste buds' Charles--'is the soda iced too?' Gilda is like Lady Marchmain-- 'She had a funny way of smiling, and you could never tell if she was taking the mickey' See, it's the same sensibility.

For more information contact [email protected] Configurations of Imperialism and their Displacements in the Novels of Joseph Conrad Miriam Marcus Queen Mary Westfield College Ph . D. 9 ABSTRACT This thesis examines certain configurations of imperialism and their displacements in the novels of Joseph Conrad beginning from the premise that imperialism is rationalised through a dualistic model of self/I*otherN and functions as a hierarchy of domination/subordination. In chapters one and two it argues that both Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim configure this model of imperialism as a split between Europe/not-Europe. The third and fourth chapters consider displacements of this model: onto a split within Europe and an act of Ninternalu imperialism in Under Western Eyes and onto unequal gender relations in the public and private spheres in Chance. Each chapter provides a reading of the selected novel in relation to one or more contemporary (or near contemporary) primary source and analyses these texts using various strands of cultural theory. Chapter one, on Heart of Darkness, investigates the historical background to British imperialism by focusing on the textual production of history in a variety of written forms which comprise the diary, travel writing, government report, fiction.

  • Thatcherism and Women: After Seven Years
    THATCHERISM AND WOMEN: AFTER SEVEN YEARS Elizabeth Wilson In 1979 the Conservative Party won the British general election led by a woman-paradoxically, after ten years of leftwing feminist activism, it was the Tories that gave the British their first woman Prime Minister. And the most paradoxical aspect of all has been that Margaret Thatcher, the 'exceptional woman' par excellence, has done nothing to advance the cause of women, indeed during her period of office the quality of life for the majority of women in this country has deteriorated. This has been as a direct result of the tremendous class attack launched by the Conservative government against working people, both women and men. The initial reaction of the British left, and this included many feminists, was on the one hand disbelief that the British people could have voted such a reactionary government into power, and on the other the rapid construction of an explanation for this event in terms of an ideology of t hatcher ism'.' The development of this concept rested on a conviction that disillusionment with socialism and progress had willed the whole populace to the Right. Bob ~esso~~and others have recently mounted an extensive and measured critique of the 'Thatcherism' thesis, particularly as it has been developed in the work of Stuart Hall and in a series of articles published in Marxism Today. Jessop and his co-authors argue, for example, that Stuart Hall's notion of 'authoritarian populism', upon which 'Thatcherism' is based, is ambiguous and incoherent. They suggest that the Left has too readily accepted the Right's own assessment of itself and its decisive ideological break with the past.

  • Anthony Powell's a Dance to the Music of Time
    Anthony Powell’s A Dance to the Music of Time with Wesley Stace 12 monthly sessions on Zoom Tuesdays, March 9, 2021 – February 8, 2022 6:00–8:00 p.m Reading all twelve novels of Anthony Powell’s A Dance to the Music of Time over one year with novelist and musician Wesley Stace. Participants will receive the Zoom link before the first session. A Dance to the Music of Time by Nicholas Poussin (c.1635) A Dance to the Music of Time, a twelve-volume set of novels by Anthony Powell, was published between 1951 and 1975. Powell’s own life (1905-2000) spanned the 20th Century and his masterpiece reflects this, examining English political, cultural and military life from 1920. Clive James thought Dance - taken as a whole - the best modern novel since Ulysses. Time magazine included the novel in its 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005. The editors of the Modern Library ranked the work as 43rd-greatest English-language novel of the 20th century, and the BBC ranked the series 36th on its list of the 100 greatest British novels. Narrated by Powell’s stand-in, writer Nicholas Jenkins, Dance is a panoramic portrait of a society that was vanishing before Powell's eyes, and of which he was one of the last writing representatives. The arc takes us from Jenkins’ schooldays - where he meets the colourful central characters whose lives will weave in and out of his own - to his final days as a literary grandee. By the finale, Widmerpool, once the butt of their schoolboy jokes, has become a memorable villain: the banality of evil incarnate.

  • Summer Reading English 12 Honors School Year: 2020-21
    Summer Reading English 12 Honors School Year: 2020-21 2020 ENGLISH 12 HONORS | SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT Dear English 12 Honors students, Welcome to British Literature! Summer reading helps both to keep your brain engaged in between school years and to get you ready for the type of literature we will tackle during the upcoming academic year. Since summer reading should be fun and relaxing, I will not require intense close reading (although feel free if you enjoy doing this--as I do…). However, you will need to remember certain details about the books when I assess them during the first week of school, so I have provided a framework for doing this effectively and efficiently. I. READ THREE (3) BOOKS 1. Station Eleven​:​ ​by Emily St. John Mandel (2011). Everyone in the school will be reading either this book of ​Fever 1793​ by Laurie Halse Anderson. We will use it during the first days of school to engage in inter-grade level/faculty discussions​ (sort of like we did for ​Dominion over Palm and Pine​). In British Literature (even though St. John Mandel is Canadian), we will use ​Station Eleven ​to establish norms for analysis and discussion. Questions to think about while reading ​Station Eleven​: a. What survival tactics prove successful in adjusting to life after a pandemic? Why do you think the Traveling Symphony’s motto is “Survival is not enough”? b. How would you describe resilience in this world? What are specific examples? c. The situation in ​Station Eleven​ is much more extreme than ours, but do you see any parallels with life in 2020? 2.
