URL : http:// journals.openedition.org/jsse/1569 This text was automatically generated on 3 December 2020. © All rights reserved The Tales of Frederick Philip Grove 1 The Tales of Frederick Philip Grove Andrew James 1 The twenty-three stories in the original version of Frederick Philip Grove’s Tales from the Margin comprise a cycle: characters recur and the locale is limited to Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta: the Canadian Prairies. This paper will examine how our perception of Grove’s cycle alters when the stories are viewed as tales. This is the label the author preferred. As he explained in his essay “The Novel,” while the short story deals with characters and incidents “excised” from the “social body” (It Needs to Be Said 120), the tale is concerned with the “border-provinces of human life” or life “on the margin.” Because tales belong to the oral tradition, the style of oration and identity of the teller are also important. Chaucer democratized tales by proving that anyone, irrespective of economic class or educational background, could tell a tale so long as it had sustaining interest to command an audience; Poe used the genre as an invitation to a fantastic, psychologically layered fictional world; and Washington Irving employed narrators who were dramatic figures in their own right, filtering his tales through them (Fallon xvii).

  • Frederick Philip Grove/Felix Paul Greve Like the Face of Europe, My
    Emanuel Schmidt (Johanneum) Frederick Philip Grove/Felix Paul Greve Like the face of Europe, my memory is a palimpsest on which writing has overlaid writing – F.P.G. Frederick Philip Grove/Felix Paul Greve gilt wegen seiner umfangreichen, stilsicheren und äußerst lebendigen, realistischen Erzählweise als einer der wichtigsten kanadischen Schriftsteller von Prärie-Romanen. Er gewann 1947 den kanadischen Literaturpreis, den Governor General`s Award, für seine Autobiographie „In Search of Myself“ (1946), in der er seine westpreußische Herkunft und Bildungsstation Hamburg in die Legende umwandelt mit seinen britisch-schwedischen Eltern Europa als große Bildungsreise durchwandert zu haben, bevor er nach Kanada auswanderte. Die ehrenvolle Lorne Pierce Medaille hat er schon im Jahre 1934 für seine Prärie-Romane erhalten. Er wurde 1941 Mitglied der kanadischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, der Royal Society of Canada und erhielt zweimal den Titel eines Ehrendoktors von zwei kanadischen Universitäten. Seine literarischen Tätigkeiten erhielten vielfältige öffentliche Anerkennung: In den 1960er und 70er Jahren wurden seine Romane für Literaturkurse in ganz Kanada genutzt und die Schüler in den Schulen lernten die Geschichte ihrer kanadischen Vorfahren durch die Pflichtlektüre Groves kennen. Trotz dieser vielen Ehren und unermüdlicher Übersetzertätigkeiten litt er aber auch in Kanada unter akutem Geldmangel. Der am 14. Februar 1879 in Radomno (ehemals Westpreußen, heute Polen) geborene Sohn von Eduard und Bertha Greve wurde ursprünglich als Felix Paul Greve bekannt. Nach einem Aufenthalt als Gutsverwalter in Pommern nahm die Familie 1881 ihren Wohnsitz in Hamburg an. Die Eltern trennten sich ein Jahr später und der dreijährige Felix Paul lebte nun mit seiner älteren Schwester bei seiner Mutter, die eine Pension führte.

  • Frederick Philip Grove's Search for Identity
    De Leo: Reinventing the Self 211 Reinventing the Self in the Canadian Multicultural Space(s): Frederick Philip Grove’s Search for Identity Rocco De Leo University of Salerno _____________________________________ Abstract: Space crucially influences how individuals who live (in) it construct their personal identities. This issue has been fundamental to the making of contemporary Canadian culture: by looking at or imagining their place, Canadian authors become the writers of two homelands who find their space in the global cross-border English-speaking culture as well as in the Canadian multi-ethnic or post-ethnic society. These authors become mapmakers as they introduce new sources of thought into a different space, and try to find their Self from a culture they have left behind. This essay takes into consideration the figure of Frederick Philip Grove, a cultivated European immigrant who left Berlin in 1909 to start a new life in North America and became a well-known Canadian fiction writer. The paper will concentrate on how he explored Western prairie pioneer life and its vibrant multi-cultural communities, and to what extent the Canadian natural and cultural realm Grove inhabited continuously influenced the definition of individuality he captures in his autobiography In Search of Myself (1946). Keywords: space; Canada; landscape; experience; autobiography; fiction. Author contact: [email protected] _____________________________________ Nearly thirty years ago, in a brief note called The Grove Enigma Resolved and published in the Queen’s Quarterly magazine, Douglas Spettigue announced his discovery that before 1909 the Canadian writer Frederick Philip Grove was the German translator and author Felix Paul Greve, who was born in Radomno, on the Polish-Prussian border on February 14th, 1879.

Aller au sommaire du numéro Jalna's suggestive anti-Americanism and its explicit British loyalism was evidently to be preferred over Wild Geese's more ambiguously North American (as opposed to what was then considered distinctly Canadian) aesthetic. This is Éditeur(s) despite its easy fit into T.D. Maclulich's classification as a Canadian "Northern" fiction (a tradition which includes Frederick Philip Grove, Ernest Buckler, The University of New Brunswick Sinclair Ross, and others). As well, the intense and often violent eroticism of Ostenso's novel was more difficult for critics of the 1920s to tolerate than was ISSN the coy sexiness of Jalna. Although little critical attention has been paid to either author in recent years, Ostenso's literary reputation appears to have 0380-6995 (imprimé) surpassed de la Roche's. 1718-7850 (numérique) Découvrir la revue Citer cet article Hammill, F.

Thompson May 2006 Thesis Chair: Dr. Theresa Leininger-Miller Abstract After eighty years of obscurity the German Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874-1927) has reemerged as a valuable subject of study. The Baroness was an artist and a writer whose media included poetry, collage, sculpture, performance and costume art. In chapter one I firmly establish the Baroness’s position as a Dada artist through examining her shared connections with the emergence of European Dada. In final chapters I will examine the most under-examined aspect of the Baroness’s various mediums—her performance and costume art. In the second chapter I will explore the Baroness’s work utilizing performative and feminist theories in relation to Marcel Duchamp’s female alter ego Rrose Sélavy.

  • Design and Truth in Grove's "In Search of Myself"
    DESIGN AND TRUTH IN GROVE'S "IN SEARCH OF MYSELF" Paul Hjartarson A.N IMPORTANT SOURCE for the study of a writer is the body of his own statements concerning his life and works. This is as true for the study of Frederick Philip Grove as for other writers. In In Search of Myself, in letters, in published and unpublished lectures, and in notebooks Grove comments at length upon the genesis and composition of his works, his relations with pub- lishers, colleagues, and friends, his views on the literary questions of the day, and his vision as a writer. Until recently, the most influential — and certainly the most frequently quoted — source of such statements was Grove's autobiography, In Search of Myself. That book was indeed the cornerstone of critical thought concerning the writer: from it commentators derived their conception of the novelist, their understanding of the shape of his career, and their knowledge of the composition of his books. Following Desmond Pacey, whose pioneering study, Frederick Philip Grove, was based upon a reading of the then unpublished auto- biography, critics emphasized the cosmopolitan nature of Grove's early life ; noted the importance to the future novelist of the trips to Siberia and Biskra, and of the twenty years spent as an itinerant farmhand in the United States and Can- ada; and characterized Grove's life in this country as that "of a lonely immigrant, unknown to fellow-writers and rebuffed by publishers, resolutely creating litera- ture in shacks and barns during the long northern winters."1 The publication of Douglas Spettigue's two studies, Frederick Philip Grove and FPG: The European Years, and of Margaret Stobie's Frederick Philip Grove, has forced critics to recognize that the novelist's account of his life in In Search of Myself is often inaccurate and at times without any basis in historical fact; and consequently, that the critical conception of Grove and the body of commen- tary on his writing must be reassessed in light of the new biographical evidence.
