Evelyn Waugh Newsletter and Stud EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Vol. 40, No. 3 Winter 2010 The Complete Evelyn Waugh Alexander Waugh has reached an agreement with Oxford University Press to publish the complete works of his grandfather Evelyn in forty-seven volumes. Alexander will serve as general editor and edit several volumes of diaries and letters. Editors with scholarly qualifications are needed to edit various volumes of fiction, travel, biography, and journalism. Paul A. Doyle Paul A. Doyle, founder and editor emeritus of Evelyn Waugh Newsletter and Studies, passed away on 22 July 2009. He was 83 years old. Paul Doyle earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Scranton and master’s and doctor's degrees from Fordham University. He taught at Fordham and St John’s University before moving to Nassau Community College, where he taught for over forty years. He won the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching and was planning to teach this past autumn. Paul Doyle wrote or edited eighteen books, including Evelyn Waugh (1969), Evelyn Waugh: A Checklist of Primary and Secondary Material (with R. M. Davis, C. E. Linck & H. Kosok, 1972), A Bibliography of Evelyn Waugh (with R. M. Davis, D. Gallagher, C. E. Linck & W. M. Bogaards, 1986), and A Reader’s Companion to the Novels and Short Stories of Evelyn Waugh (1989). Paul Doyle also founded the Evelyn Waugh Newsletter in 1967 and edited it through 1998, when health finally forced him to stop. He supported revival of the Newsletter in 2002 and sometimes contributed. Paul Doyle is survived by two sons. The Executive Committee of the Evelyn Waugh Society passed a motion expressing condolence to the family of Paul Doyle and appreciation for all of his contributions to Waugh scholarship. Below are comments from people who knew and worked with Paul. Robert Murray Davis (Sun Lakes, Arizona) Although Paul Doyle and I corresponded for years, we met only once at his home in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, while I was on my way to Maritime Canada. It was difficult to find his house, which had belonged to his parents and which he used in the summer, but I did. When I got out of the car, he was waiting at the curb. He said, "My God, you look like a tight end." All I could think was that standards for tight ends must be considerably lower than they were at the University of Oklahoma. He showed me his collection of railway memorabilia, and I was pleased to be able to tell him that I'd stayed one night at the terminus of the Snyder, Roscoe, and Pacific Railway--a new one to him. But mostly we talked about Waugh. I had planned to visit him in the spring of 1967 when I was doing research at New York University, but a predicted light rain turned into eighteen inches of snow, cancelling my visit and imperiling the health of local weatherpersons. He was tolerant of my organizing principle for the two editions of the Waugh bibliography, but he did complain that every time I reviewed a book for him, I cost him a subscriber. He forgave that, but he never forgot my (highly qualified) praise of Ian Littlewood's book. One question I never asked and could never answer from inference was whether he thought that Waugh was funny. How odd to think of that question. file:////uol.le.ac.uk/...c144/My%20Documents/Evelyn%20Waugh/Evelyn%20Waugh%20Studies/Newsletters/Newsletters/Newsletter_40.3.htm[04/12/2013 14:44:53] EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD I had hoped to entice him to the Austin Waugh meeting, but apparently he regarded airplanes as a dangerous innovation like computers and, as far as I could tell, correcting Selectric typewriters. N. N. Newaliya (Meerut, India) Paul Doyle was a doyen in Waugh studies who was totally devoted to his mission. I fondly remember his kindness in sending me Xeroxed copies of some articles published in the Waugh Newsletter which I required when I was engaged in my M Phil dissertation on Waugh's travel- inspired novels. May his soul rest in peace. Donat Gallagher (Townsville, Australia) Though we never met, I developed a great respect and affection for him. Sylvia Koleva (Sofia, Bulgaria) I'm very sorry that Paul Doyle--such a charming and capable and exceptional man--is dead. I never knew him, but I can imagine what a wonderful life he had. I dare hope that perhaps he will meet Waugh! Requiescam in pacem. Alain Blayac (Montpellier, France) How sad I feel at Paul's demise! I never met him although I tried a couple of times while in New York. He was such a shy man, but answered all letters and queries punctiliously. He very frankly advised me on a couple of hot-blooded reflections I had on published judgments about my contributions and I still feel thankful to him for his sensibly helping me in tricky situations. No doubt he was the real federator of the Waugh Newsletter and its numerous subscribers. As such he was to my mind the most important Waugh scholar both in his editor's capacity and in his creation of the network. Winnifred Bogaards (New Brunswick, Canada) I shall always remember how much Paul helped me when I was doing my PhD on Waugh, which included an extensive bibliography. Many of the items I found were in libraries where you could only copy the material in pencil, as he did to help me out. It was then in the mid- sixties that he began publishing the findings of myself and others, particularly Robert Murray Davis, in the Newsletter, leading to the first and second published Waugh bibliographies. He was a devoted Waugh scholar and a cherished friend. Yoshiharu Usui (Tokyo, Japan) I came to know of the Newsletter when I prepared an MA thesis in 1996. I didn’t use e-mail, so I made a phone call to the community college where Paul Doyle was working to learn how to subscribe. He asked me to give him my name and address and to send the fee. I always sent it in cash covered with tissue paper in an ordinary envelope. When he could not continue to edit the Newsletter, he returned the balance, a five-dollar bill. I was impressed with his integrity. I pray his soul may rest in peace. John H. Wilson (Lock Haven, Pennsylvania) My first submission to the Waugh Newsletter was totally inappropriate, much too long, but instead of rejecting it, Paul Doyle patiently edited it, and it became my first scholarly publication. I was always impressed that Paul carefully wrote by hand all of the 200 addresses for each issue of the Newsletter. When I took over as editor, Paul sent me all his Newsletter correspondence for thirty-five years, so I was able to contact the subscribers. He also sent me his store of back issues, so I am able to satisfy people's requests for old articles. When Evelyn Waugh died, Graham Greene said that it was like losing one's commanding officer. I know what he meant. David Bittner (Omaha, Nebraska) file:////uol.le.ac.uk/...c144/My%20Documents/Evelyn%20Waugh/Evelyn%20Waugh%20Studies/Newsletters/Newsletters/Newsletter_40.3.htm[04/12/2013 14:44:53] EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD My initial acquaintance with Dr. Paul Doyle occurred 22 years ago, when I was looking for a home for two articles I’d written about Brideshead Revisited. Ulrich’s Periodical Directory listed Evelyn Waugh Newsletter and Paul Doyle as editor. I sent my work. In a letter dated June 2, 1987, Dr. Doyle informed me that he was “most pleased” to accept both submissions. One was a defense of Lady Marchmain as the heroine of Brideshead. Dr. Doyle said he agreed with this assessment of the character, even though it might represent the “minority opinion,” and had scheduled it for publication in the fall. In the following weeks, I conferred with Dr. Doyle a number of times about editing changes, and I always identified myself as “David Bittner, Lady Marchmain’s friend in Florida.” With all the contributors to keep track of, and all his students, my unfamiliar name needed help to ring a bell with such a busy man. It marked the beginning of one of the most valued friendships of my life, even though I met Dr. Doyle face to face only once, in 1994, when business brought me to New York. I thought of it as an avuncular relationship, compensating for my father’s withering remarks about my interest in the Brideshead set, whom he termed a “bunch of upper-class English degenerates.” I had to laugh a few years ago, going through my parents’ photos of their travels, when I found a picture of my father visiting the grave of Winston Churchill! I wrote eleven articles for the Newsletter before Dr. Doyle retired as editor in 1998, and another nine after John Wilson revived it in electronic form in 2002. I always sent Dr. Doyle a copy of the latest Newsletter after Prof. Wilson took over, and if the new issue carried an article by me, he always acknowledged it with a nice note. The most positive comment any of my Waugh pieces elicited from my father: “To me all that stuff looks like trying to figure out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.” When Dad passed away in 2002, two years after my return home from Florida, my mother was deluged with sympathy cards.

  • THE NOVELS of HENRY GREEN with An
    "WRITING AS CONVERSATION": THE NOVELS OF HENRY GREEN with an annotated bibliography on Green by CAROLINE GAIL FRASER B.A., University of British Columbia, 1961 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English : We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1975 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of English The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ABSTRACT Henry Green described his experiments in fiction as "conversa• tions" between the writer and his unseen reader. "We talk to one another in novels," he said. In chapter one, the implications of this statement are discussed within the framework of the author-reader rela• tionship in fiction from Sterne to John Barth and Robbe-Grillet. By comparing Green with these novelists and others such as Jane Austen, Dickens, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf, one can consider and evaluate more effectively his techniques of communication. Some of the aspects of conversation as a living art as well as a literary art are also dis• cussed, with particular emphasis on the delight in process rather than in the finished product.

G. Wells during a debate about the nature of the novel that helps to establish the canon of modern fiction. Whereas the canonical modernists – Conrad, Ford, Joyce, Woolf, Lawrence – follow James in devel- oping narrative and linguistic innovations to accommodate a newly scrupu- lous attention to epistemology and psychology, the seven writers surveyed here generally spurn stream of consciousness, often appear indifferent to the exploration of the psyche, and sometimes follow Wells in renouncing Jamesian formal unity. Thus E. M. Forster breaks with modernist practice in relying on a prominent, moralizing narrator, Wyndham Lewis attacks his contemporaries’ obsession with interiority, and Wells and Aldous Huxley embrace a didacticism at odds with reigning protocols. Ronald Firbank, Ivy Compton-Burnett, and Henry Green follow James in their attention to style, but they depart from modernist orthodoxy in representing surfaces rather than depths. In voice, structure, style, and characterization, however, a rebellious spirit in all these novelists challenges both inherited and emergent ideas of what a novel is and how a novel’s prose can read.

  • Greener Pastures in JUNE of 2016, BRITAIN VOTED to Leave The
    OSCAR MARDELL Greener Pastures IN JUNE OF 2016, BRITAIN VOTED to leave the European Union, choosing to opt out of a diplomatic relationship conceived in order to curb the forces which devastated Europe during the Second World War. While the divorce is being settled, and that nation’s place in the world re-negotiated, the mythologies surrounding its ‘finest hours’ are begging to be rethought. As if on cue, New York Review Books have reissued the wartime novels of Henry Green. Henry who? Prefacing a 2005 collection of Green’s novels, Sebastian Faulks perfectly summarised the situation: ‘Henry Green’, wrote Faulks, ‘is a writer who always seems to need ‘introducing’, like a stranger at a party: dark, louche, awkward’. ‘Green’ was the penname adopted by one Henry Vincent Yorke. He was born near Tewkesbury in 1905, the youngest son of a prosperous industrialist—‘a mouthbreather with a silver spoon’, as he later put it. He attended Eton College then Oxford University, skipping most of his classes in order to nurture an obsession with cinema. In his final year of study, he wrote and published Blindness, a novel about a teenage art-lover who is blinded by attackers on his way home from school. Yorke eventually abandoned his degree altogether and took up work on the floor of his family’s factory, justifying the surprise decision in a letter to his father: ‘I want badly to write a novel about working men’. Living was the result of that experience, an exploration of class distinctions within an iron foundry in Birmingham. Yorke married his lover, ‘Dig’, in the year of its publication.

  • Late Modernist Debuts
    Late Modernist Debuts Publishing and Professionalizing Young Novelists in 1920s Britain Marius Hentea In “Literature as a Profession,” a 1913 editorial in the Times, an unprec- edented surge of aspiring young writers was met with the strongest discour- agement: “There are now more youths than ever eager to be writers. There are more, indeed, than the public could possibly read, even if it regarded reading as a sacred duty; and it can only protect itself against their impor- tunities by a dazed indifference like that of harassed tourists in the East.”1 The imperial imagery—young writers were compared to colonial beg- gars, distracting the good people of England from the real sights they want- ed to see—revealed the Times’s strong feelings on the matter. A man with an imperial connection of his own, Edward Bell (his publishing house’s Indian and Colonial Library sold nearly 1.5 million books between 1894 and 1911), was equally emphatic in his rejection of young authors.2 He had edited Chatterton’s poetical works early in his publishing career, but in March 1914, when he heard of a proposal to turn the Author’s Union magazine into a platform for young writers, he did no more than quote Punch: “Don’t.”3 The assumption behind these rejections was that young writers lacked the experience to write anything worth reading. Yet in 1915, no doubt be- cause “our boys” were suffering in the trenches, youth was given a chance in Nisbet’s Writers of the Day series, whose guiding idea was to have young authors assess their established elders.
