  • Introduction: Borderlines: Contemporary Scottish Gothic
    Notes Introduction: Borderlines: Contemporary Scottish Gothic 1. Caroline McCracken-Flesher, writing shortly before the latter film’s release, argues that it is, like the former, ‘still an outsider tale’; despite the emphasis on ‘Scottishness’ within these films, they could only emerge from outside Scotland.

As Coral Ann Howells argues in a discussion of Radcliffe, Mrs Kelly, Horsley-Curteis, Francis Lathom, and Jane Porter, Scott’s novels ‘were enthusiastically received by a reading public who had become accustomed by a long literary tradition to associate Scotland with mystery and adventure’.

Yossi Brain, who sent us valuable reports from South America for the Area Notes, died in an avalanche on 25 September 1999 while mountain­ eering with friends in Northern Bolivia. Yossi touched the lives of a lot of people, through his lively, bright, and often irreverent sense of humourwhich permeated his guiding, his books, his articles and above all his spirit. He achieved a lot in the time he had, making two different and sucessful careers, and providing inspiration to many. Ulf Carlsson was Chairman of the Mountain Club of Kenya between 1993 and 1996. He wrote an article about the Swedish mountains for the 1997 Alpine Journal and was well known to some of our members. He died in the Pamir in 1999.

Throughout the fourteen years of its existence, encompassing the Irlande Spanish Civil War and the Second World War, the magazine covers a neglected period of transition in the evolution of modernism. Through his editorial n° 4 policy and a susceptible interpretation of the Zeitgeist, Lehmann voices the particular torments of his generation, too young to have participated in - 2011 the First World War, but deeply affected by it.

Small splits at the ends of the spine and some corners creased. £4 9904 Chambers’s Journal, Feb-July 1934 JB’s novel The Free Fishers was published in book form by Hodder & Stoughton in book form in June 1934. However, it was also serialised in Chambers’s Journal (monthly) from January to July 1934. This small collection includes the February to July issues only, thus missing the first part of the serialisation which covered chapters 1-3. The journals are in fair condition, mostly with some wear to the spines and creased covers. The rear cover of the May issue is missing and the last leaf of that issue is detached but loose. £25 9892 John Buchan Society memorabilia In October 2004 the John Buchan Society organised a visit by members of the Society to Canada.

  • 4 French History and Civilization Colin Jones As I Take My Battered, Now
    4 French History and Civilization Colin Jones As I take my battered, now coverless, spine-half-broken copy off the shelf, I discover that the 60th anniversary of the publication of George Rudé’s The Crowd in the French Revolution is also the 50th anniverary of my purchasing it. The physical dilapidation of my personal copy is tribute not just to the passage of time but also to my frequent consultation over the years of this pioneering volume in the tradition of “history from below” — the Revolution, as Rudé with modest punctiliousness put it, “seen as it were from below”.1 Reflecting, I wonder whether I purchased the book just after I had seen Rudé — my only sighting in fact — deliver a lecture Oxford in that year, dressed in an elegantly cut three-piece suit which made him look more like a natty city gent than the radical historian and activist. Certainly, I was at the lecture and bought the book because I was studying the French Revolution and because 1969 happened to be one year after 1968, so “revolution” and “history from below” were not only in the air — they were also entering the bloodstream of the historical profession. Rudé was, after all, one of the “five musketeers” — along with Richard Cobb and Albert Soboul (the two very much Rudé co-workers), and Edward Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm — who were making this kind of approach to the past a central preoccupation of the discipline in Anglo- French circles for decades to come. Time has dealt Rudé’s influential volume some very telling blows.

  • John Lehmann and the Acclimatisation of Modernism in Britain
    JOHN LEHMANN AND THE ACCLIMATISATION OF MODERNISM A.T. Tolley It is easy to see the cultural history of modernism in terms of key volumes, such as Auden’s Poems of 1930, and to see their reception in the light of significant reviews by writers who themselves have come to have a regarded place in the history of twentieth-century literature. Yet this is deceptive and does not give an accurate impression of the reaction of most readers. W.B. Yeats, in a broadcast on “Modern Poetry” in 1936 could say of T.S. Eliot: “Tristam and Iseult were not a more suitable theme than Paddington Railway Station.”1 Yeats was then an old man; but most of Yeats’s listeners would have shared the hostility. Yet, in the coming years, acclimatisation had taken place. Eliot’s Little Gidding, published separately as a pamphlet in December 1942, sold 16,775 copies – a remarkable number for poetry, even in those wartime years when poetry had such impact. John Lehmann had a good deal to do with the acclimatisation of modernist idiom, most notably through his editing of New Writing, New Writing & Daylight and The Penguin New Writing, the last of which had had at its most popular a readership of about 100,000. The cultural impact of modernism came slowly in Britain, most notably through the work of Eliot and Virginia Woolf. The triumph of modernism came with its second generation, through the work of Auden, MacNeice and Dylan Thomas in poetry, and less markedly through the work of Isherwood and Henry Green in prose.
