Hilary Mantel Papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Part I was purchased from Hilary Mantel, February 2001 (Accession #2083). Addenda was purchased from Hilary Mantel, 2005 (Accession #2460). Part II consists of material purchased from Hilary Mantel in 2009 (Accession #2606) and material purchased in 2016 (Accession CSmH_2016_273). Cataloger's Notes According to the author’s notations, the original title for An Experiment in Love was On Thinner Ice. Manuscripts with the original title have been catalogued under the published title, An Experiment in Love. Among the addenda are several versions of Hilary Mantel’s 2005 novel Beyond Black. Various dated drafts of the chapters of this manuscript were received in no particular order, with only two full drafts among the papers. Individual chapters of the novel therefore, have been cataloged separately or in small groups as grouped by the author, and organized by date. The two full drafts have been cataloged as whole items, but are parsed out (a)-(m) by chapter and the collation lines reflect each individual chapter. The whole drafts are cataloged chronologically with all other drafts. Furthermore, the numbering of the chapters and the prologue were changed by the author partway through the writing process. The existing number was used in cataloging each chapter regardless of the chapter number in the published form. In particular therefore, early versions of a chapter may be numbered one integer lower than the published chapter, and parties interested in all versions of a particular chapter should be aware of this when requesting the manuscripts. The Hilary Mantel Papers were cataloged over a span of 12 years and multiple acquisitions, resulting in a collection organized by accretion, with each new acquisition added on in sequence at the end of the collection, rather than interspersed with similar or related materials. Therefore, each separate acquisition must be searched to locate all of the relevant manuscripts or correspondence by a particular author. Because the collection was cataloged over a span of 12 years, the names and dates of various people in the collection have changed, usually in order to conform to changing standards in national cataloging practices; in other instances, an individual remarried or died. It was not practical for us to retroactively update the previously cataloged names on the folders or in the Finding Aid, so researchers will find different forms of names used for the same individuals in discrete Hilary Mantel Papers mssMN 1-3264 2 sections of the collection. Biographical Note British author Hilary Mantel was born in Derbyshire, England on July 6, 1952; she married Gerald McEwen in 1972. Mantel's work includes articles, book reviews, novels, personal memoirs, short stories, and historical fiction. In 2009 Mantel was awarded the Booker Prize for her novel Wolf Hall and in 2012 she was awarded the Booker Prize a second time for Bring Up the Bodies. Among many other awards and prizes, Mantel was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2006 and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 2014.

Audio tapes and CDs include interviews with Hilary Mantel, readings from her novels, and various radio programs Mantel wrote for or was involved with. Photographs include snapshots and professional portraits of Hilary Mantel and others. Some photographs appear to have been taken for book jackets.

    WOLF HALL Episode Three "Anna Regina" Written by Peter Straughan WOLF HALL Episode Three “Anna Regina” EXT. LONDON - DAY - THE PAST NO SOUND A CHILD’S P.O.V - We are pushing through a crowd, their backs to us, all staring intently ahead to where thick smoke rises into the Spring sky. A WOMAN ahead turns and looks down at us - a motherly smile. She makes room and guides us through to the front of the crowd and the spectacle... An OLD WOMAN is burning. She’s chained to a stake, toothless mouth open in a scream, surrounded by the jeering crowd. As we watch a gust of wind lifts the flames and the woman begins to twist and blacken... REVERSE THOMAS CROMWELL as a BOY is watching, face blank. Slowly the sound begins to build - the roar of crowd and the flames, growing louder and louder... LATER Dusk. The patter of RAIN. The crowd have gone and the square is empty, quiet. Young Thomas shelters under the deserted wooden stand. Suddenly several MEN AND WOMEN appear. One keeps watch while the others kneels around the black sludge and bones that is all that is left of the old woman. Young Thomas steps out cautiously. YOUNG THOMAS They burnt an old woman. She was a Loller. The men and women ignore him. We see they are scraping up the remains, placing them in an earthenware pot. YOUNG THOMAS (CONT’D) She thinks the God on the altar is just bread. He notices what they are doing, steps forward, interested, and peers at the black sludge until he finds a piece of rib- cage.

Drawing on the work of, among many others, Susan Sontag, Rita Felski, and Peter Lamarque, I argue that P.G. Wodehouse, E.F. Benson, and Angela Thirkell wrote a type of pure comedy I call chaste camp. Chaste camp is a strange beast. On the one hand it is a sort of children’s literature written for and about adults; on the other hand it rises to a level of literary merit that children’s books, even the best of them, cannot hope to reach.

Reviewed by Donat Gallagher A Slow Build 25 Evelyn Waugh’s Satire: texts and Contexts, by Naomi Milthorpe. NEWS A Personal Note I Owe It All to Brideshead 29 David Bittner Evelyn Waugh Studies 2 Paul Pennyfeather and the Victorian Governess: The Rejection of Nineteenth-Century Idealism in Decline and Fall Ellen O’Brien Much has been written on the disputed use of satire in Evelyn Waugh’s first novel.1 While critics have offered various readings of the satirical elements in Decline and Fall (1928), the novel also invites discussion of the role of parody, farce, black humour, burlesque, the bildungsroman, the picaresque and the anti-hero in creating an amusing but damning representation of society between the wars. This difficulty identifying a clear style is possibly due to the elusive nature of Waugh’s moral critique, which is so subtle as to be “everywhere felt but nowhere expressed” (Heath 77). His satirical target has been variously described as the “the beastliness of undergraduate societies and the leniency of college authorities toward wealthy and aristocratic members… the morals and outlook of ‘smart’ society,” the mismanagement of private boarding schools, the prison system, and modern religion, (Nichols 51) and more broadly as “inconsistency, hypocrisy, cruelty and folly… a satirical engagement with contemporary anxieties about English cultural decline in the years following the Great War” (Milthorpe 2, 20).

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • Academics and Librarians in the Novels of Barbara Pym
    http://sajlis.journals.ac.za/ 34 S.Afr.Tydskr.Bibl.Inligtingk.,1998,66(I) 'Thankless tasks': academics and librarians in the novels of Barbara Pym Elizabeth S. van Aswegen Department of Language Practice, Department of Library and Information Studies, Cape Technikon, P.O. Box 652, Cape Town 8000 Republic of South Africa [email protected] From 1950, until her death in 1980, Barbara Pym published ten novels. However, the social and literary climate of the 'sixties and early 'seventies was not receptive to her subtle and ironic literary style, and her writing suffered an eclipse of 16 years. A renaissance in her fortunes came in January 1977, when the Times literary supplement asked a selection of critics to comment on which writers they considered the most underrated of the twentieth century; both Philip Larkin and Lord David Cecil selected Barbara Pym. This critical acclaim stimulated renewed interest in her work, and Quartet in ali/limn was nominated and shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1977. Her new status led to her canonization in the literary world, and several previously unpublished novels, as well as her edited diaries and notebooks, appeared after her death in 1980. An analysis of character in the novels reveals that Pym's peripheral characters include a large cast of academics; in addition, some of her most malicious creations are librarians, who, with their petty concerns, are averse to both books and borrowers. This article highlights her countless subtle jibes at academe; while her characters are frequently intrinsic to theme and plot (the adjective 'peripheral' is therefore to be used with caution), her most caustic scenes deflate academic ambition and pretension.
