  • Irish Authors Collections Guide 18 August 2020 English Literature Is One of the Two Greatest Strengths of the Rosenbach's Libr
    Irish Authors Collections Guide 18 August 2020 English Literature is one of the two greatest strengths of the Rosenbach’s library collections (the other being American history). What we usually call English Literature is more precisely the English-language literature of Great Britain, Ireland, and surrounding islands. Some of the greatest writers in the English language have been Irish. Dr. Rosenbach certainly recognized this, and although we don't know that he had a special interest in Irish writers as such, it means that he did collect a number of them. His interest was chiefly in pre-20th-century literature, so apart from James Joyce there are few recent writers represented. Although they are not segregated by country of origin on the Rosenbach shelves, this guide highlights Irish authors as a particular sub-set of English-language authors. The guide is arranged in alphabetical order by author’s last name, and in the instances of James Joyce, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde, the list is further broken down by collections category. Throughout this guide, all objects owned by Dr. Rosenbach are marked with an asterisk (*). Those marked with double (**) are part of Philip Rosenbach’s gift to the Foundation on January 12, 1953, consisting partly of objects from Dr. Rosenbach’s estate. This guide will be updated periodically to reflect new acquisitions and further cataloging of the Rosenbach collections. Objects acquired since 2014 are marked with a “+”. For further information on any item listed on this collections guide, please contact us at https://rosenbach.org/research/make-an-inquiry/. For information about on-site research, or to request an appointment to see specific materials, visit http://rosenbach.org/research/make-an- appointment/.

  • Ethnicity, Lyricism, and John Berryman's Dream Songs
    Imaginary Jews and True Confessions: Ethnicity, Lyricism, and John Berryman’s Dream Songs ANDREW GROSS . Jews, who have changed much in the course of history, are certainly no race, [but] the anti‐Semites in a way are a race, because they always use the same slogans, display the same attitudes, indeed almost look alike. —Max Horkheimer1 John Berryman’s “The Imaginary Jew,” published in the Kenyon Review of 1945, is in some ways a rather programmatic account of one man’s conversion from parlor anti‐ Semitism to a feeling of solidarity with Jews. The climax occurs when a bigot accuses the narrator of being Jewish in order to discredit him in an argument over Roosevelt’s foreign policy prior to the American entry into World War II. The accusation completely unnerves the narrator in ways he does not immediately understand, and he is shocked to see that it discredits him in the eyes of the crowd, which has assembled at Union Square to hear impromptu debates. Later, after leaving the scene of his embarrassment, he decides to lay claim to this mistaken, or imaginary, identity, and comes to the following conclusion about the nature of prejudice: “My persecutors were right: I was a Jew. The imaginary Jew I was was as real as the imaginary Jew hunted down, on other nights and days, in a real Jew. Every murderer strikes the mirror, the lash of the torturer falls on the mirror and cuts the real image, and the real and the imaginary blood flow down together.”2 The story garnered some attention when it appeared in 1945.

  • 2006 Another Remarkable Year for the National Library 29 December 2006: 2006 Was Another Remarkable Year for the National Library of Ireland
    2006 another remarkable year for the National Library 29 December 2006: 2006 was another remarkable year for the National Library of Ireland. Signal events included the opening of a major exhibition on the life and work of WB Yeats; the acquisition of several major literary archives and photographic collections; an official visit by Her Majesty Queen Sonja of Norway; a major award for the Library’s Yeats exhibition at a ceremony held in Bristol; a first prize win at the Irish Design Effectiveness Awards (IDEA) for the 1916 online exhibition. In May, John O’Donoghue, TD, Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism opened Yeats: the life and works of William Butler Yeats which explores WB Yeats’ literary and cultural legacy and features manuscripts from the Library’s Yeats collection, the world’s most important archive of Yeats material. The exhibition continues until the end of 2008. Throughout 2006 the Library continued to host its popular ‘Library Late’ series of monthly public interviews with critically acclaimed writers. The featured writers this year included Patrick McCabe, Frank McGuinness, Andrew O’Hagan, Colum McCann, Anne Enright, Eavan Boland, Joseph O’Connor, John Connolly, John Boyne, Claire Kilroy and Bernard Mac Laverty. Centenary celebrations of major literary figures 2006 marked the international centenaries of two major literary figures – Norwegian poet and playwright Henrik Ibsen and Samuel Beckett. In March, the National Library was one of a number of cultural institutions, nationally and internationally, which marked the 100th anniversary of Samuel Beckett’s birth. The Centenary Shadows exhibition, which was held at the National Photographic Archive, featured some 40 photographs, including many portraits of Beckett taken by the Irish photographer John Minihan.

  • Orwell's Painful Childhood
    Orwell's painful childhood JEFFREY MEYERS RWELL was always extremely reticent about his personal affairs, so we know virtually nothing about how his O character was formed in his earliest years. He was born in 1903 in Motihari, situated on the bank of a lake in the state of Bihar, between Patna and Katmandu. His father was a sub-deputy agent in the Opium Department of the Indian Civil Service, and Orwell's family was part of that 'upper-middle class, which had its heyday in the eighties and nineties, with Kipling as its poet laureate, and was a sort of mound of wreckage left behind when the tide of Victorian prosperity receded'.1 Like Thackeray, Kipling, and Durrell, he spent his first years in India before he was sent to England at the age of four to begin school. Kipling's Something of Myself gives a lyrical description of a secure Indian childhood, protected by the gentleness and affection of bearer and ayah; and Fraser writes of Durrell that 'The Indian childhood, the heat, the colour, the Kiplingesque social atmosphere, deeply affected his childish imagination'.2 But both Thackeray and Kipling stress the wrenching trauma of leaving India at five years old. In The Newcombes, Thackeray writes : What a strange pathos seems to me to accompany all our Indian story! . The family must be broken up . In America it is from the breast of a poor slave that a child is taken; in India it is from the wife.3 Kipling's 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' describes his sudden and painful departure from servants and parents ('through no fault of their own, they had lost all their world'), and the horrors of an alien family that engulfs him with meanness and cruelty.

  • George Orwell in Our Time Braja Kishore Sahoo, Ph.D
    ================================================================= Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 16:6 June 2016 ================================================================= George Orwell in Our Time Braja Kishore Sahoo, Ph.D. ================================================================== George Orwell Courtesy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Orwell Abstract George Orwell (1903-1950) occupies a significant place in the English literary imagination. A political and cultural commentator, as well as an accomplished novelist, Orwell is one of the most widely-read essayists of the 20th century. He is best remembered for his two novels written towards the end of his life: Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). In this paper I intend to focus on some of his representative essays and non-fiction writings to suggest that Orwell is very much alive to the vital issues of our time through his extensive range of interests ranging from politics, war, and sports, to issues such as language and literature. We can say that history has treated him well, proving him right about the key issues of the twentieth century. In the bipolar political climate of the 1930s and 1940s, when intellectuals on the left and right were getting ready to confront the evils of totalitarianism and fascism, Orwell saw that the choice between Stalinism and fascism was in fact no choice at all, that the real struggle was between freedom and tyranny. Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 16:6 June 2016 Braja Kishore Sahoo, Ph.D. George Orwell in Our Time 145 Keywords: Animal Farm, George Orwell, totalitarianism, fascism, tyranny, freedom George Orwell A conservative by upbringing, and a socialist and a dissident by nature, he did not believe in politics as a matter of allegiance to a party or camp.

  • The Love Triangle in Harold Pinter
    PINTER 'S T\vO LOVES OF Cm11FORT AND DESPA I R n~o LOVES OF COMFORT AND DESPAIR: THE LOVE TRIANGLE IN HAROLD PINTER By ROBERT JOHN MOORE, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfi Iment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster Un i vers i ty November, 1978 MASTER OF ARTS (1978) Md1ASTER UN I VERS I TY (Eng Ii sh) Hami Iton, Ontario TITLE: TVlo Loves of Comfort and Oespa i r: The Love Tr i ang I e in Harold Pinter AUTHOR: Robert John Moore, B. A. (Md,1aster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. A. S. Brennan NUMBER OF PAGES: 98 i i ABSTRACT Using the poem "Afternoon", an early sketch, Dialogue for Three and a late play, Monologue, as a basis for discussion, this thesis attempts to locate the essential core relationship that lies at the heart, not only of the above three works, but the whole range of Pinter's work. The core relationship or pattern upon which Pinter's drama is arranged is revealed as a love triangle. Once we have isolated the triangle it is possible to identify the various corners of the triangle using both the symbol ic vocabulary Pinter provides in the dichotomy between light and dark, betltJeen b Ii ndness and potence and the psychoanalytic terms, ego and id, which correspond exactly to the corners of light and dark, respectively. The Pinter protagonist is typically confronted with tltlO psycho­ sexual alternatives~ one in the guise of a guardian and the other in the guise of a thief.

  • Chapter 18: P.G. Wodehouse 109 He Ever Had
    18 P.G. Wodehouse Heresy can mean doing obstinately what you do best, and doing it in the most improbable places. Jeeves, for example, was conceived and born in New York. At least P.G. Wodehouse was living there when he À rst thought of him. That may sound like an odd place to do it, but the fact is not in doubt. After two discontented years in a London bank and a little journalism, Wodehouse settled in Greenwich Village (off and on) in 1909. He had first visited America in 1904, drawn by its boxing tradition, but he soon came to believe he could write for it; and it was there in the autumn of 1914 that he met and married a young English widow called Ethel, whose daughter he adopted. War was breaking out in Europe, but his poor eyesight made him unfit for active duty, so he wrote on. There was to be another world war in his lifetime, as unexpected to him as the first, and after than he settled again in America, dying in 1975 on Long Island in his nineties. So New York was as much home to him as anywhere, though you sometimes wonder if anywhere was. He casually inhabited the whole world. Born in Guildford in 1881, his first infant years had been in Hong Kong, where his father was a magistrate, and his middle years, after New York and Hollywood, were spent in France. Like many EnglishmenSAMPLE down the centuries he had the carefree talent of being mostly somewhere else and yet never losing sense of who he was.
