  • Scholarship Boys and Children's Books

    Scholarship Boys and Children's Books

    Scholarship Boys and Children’s Books: Working-Class Writing for Children in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s Haru Takiuchi Thesis submitted towards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics, Newcastle University, March 2015 ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores how, during the 1960s and 1970s in Britain, writers from the working-class helped significantly reshape British children’s literature through their representations of working-class life and culture. The three writers at the centre of this study – Aidan Chambers, Alan Garner and Robert Westall – were all examples of what Richard Hoggart, in The Uses of Literacy (1957), termed ‘scholarship boys’. By this, Hoggart meant individuals from the working-class who were educated out of their class through grammar school education. The thesis shows that their position as scholarship boys both fed their writing and enabled them to work radically and effectively within the British publishing system as it then existed. Although these writers have attracted considerable critical attention, their novels have rarely been analysed in terms of class, despite the fact that class is often central to their plots and concerns. This thesis, therefore, provides new readings of four novels featuring scholarship boys: Aidan Chambers’ Breaktime and Dance on My Grave, Robert Westall’s Fathom Five, and Alan Garner’s Red Shift. The thesis is split into two parts, and these readings make up Part 1. Part 2 focuses on scholarship boy writers’ activities in changing publishing and reviewing practices associated with the British children’s literature industry. In doing so, it shows how these scholarship boy writers successfully supported a movement to resist the cultural mechanisms which suppressed working-class culture in British children’s literature.

    Colleague, Critic, and Sometime Counselor to Thomas Becket

    JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History–Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter John of Salisbury was one of the best educated men in the mid-twelfth century. The beneficiary of twelve years of study in Paris under the tutelage of Peter Abelard and other scholars, John flourished alongside Thomas Becket in the Canterbury curia of Archbishop Theobald. There, his skills as a writer were of great value. Having lived through the Anarchy of King Stephen, he was a fierce advocate for the liberty of the English Church. Not surprisingly, John became caught up in the controversy between King Henry II and Thomas Becket, Henry’s former chancellor and successor to Theobald as archbishop of Canterbury. Prior to their shared time in exile, from 1164-1170, John had written three treatises with concern for royal court follies, royal pressures on the Church, and the danger of tyrants at the core of the Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum , the Metalogicon , and the Policraticus. John dedicated these works to Becket. The question emerges: how effective was John through dedicated treatises and his letters to Becket in guiding Becket’s attitudes and behavior regarding Church liberty? By means of contemporary communication theory an examination of John’s writings and letters directed to Becket creates a new vista on the relationship between John and Becket—and the impact of John on this martyred archbishop.

    Memory and Uncertainty in Michael Frayn's Copenhagen

    Charles University in Prague Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature Memory and Uncertainty in Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen Diploma thesis Tereza Lesáková Secondary School Teacher Education (En – Cz) Supervisor: PhDr. Petr Chalupský, Ph.D. Prague 2014 I declare that I have worked on this final thesis independently using only the primary and secondary sources listed in the works cited section. I would like to thank my supervisor, PhDr. Petr Chalupský, Ph.D, for his kind help and valuable advice and Mgr. Jindřich Soukup for his suggestions concerning physics. Abstract The thesis is an attempt to explore various ways in which Michael Frayn employs the philosophical implications of Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and Niels Bohr’s complementarity principle in his play Copenhagen and to find out how he works with the theme of memory in the text. The theoretical part puts the play into the frame of the science theatre genre and offers a brief overview of depiction of memory in literature. The practical part then analyses the theme of memory in connection with quantum physics in the text and covers the development of our perception of the characters. Key words: Frayn, Copenhagen, uncertainty, memory, science theatre Abstrakt Diplomová práce je pokusem prozkoumat, jakými způsoby Michael Frayn ve své divadelní hře Kodaň aplikoval filosofické důsledky Heisenbergova principu neurčitosti a Bohrovy komplementarity a jak pracuje s tématem paměti. Teoretická část hru zasazuje do kontextu žánru science theatre a nabízí stručný přehled zobrazování paměti v literatuře. Praktická část analyzuje spojení paměti a kvantové fyziky v textu a popisuje, jak se mění naše hodnocení postav.

    Essay on the Study of Literature. London, T. Becket & P. A. De Hondt

    Essay on the Study of Literature. London, T. Becket & P. A. De Hondt, in the Strand. MDCCLXI To EDWARD GIBBON, Esq;[1] Dear Sir, No performance is, in my opinion, more contemptible than a Dedication of the common sort; when some great man is presented with a book, which, if Science be the subject, he is inca- pable of understanding; if polite Literature, incapable of tasting: and this honor is done him, as a reward for virtues, which he neither does, nor desires to, possess. I know but two kinds of ded- ications, which can do honor either to the patron or author. The first is, when an unexperienced writer addresses himself to a master of the art, in which he endeavours to excel; whose example he is ambitious of imitating; by whose advice he has been directed, or whose approbation he is anxious to deserve. The other sort is yet more honorable. It is dictated by the heart, and offered to some person who is dear to us, because he ought to be so. It is an opportunity we embrace with pleasure of making public those sentiments of esteem, of friendship, of gratitude, or of all together, which we really feel, and which therefore we desire should be known. I hope, dear Sir, my past conduct will easily lead you to discover to what principle you should attribute this epistle; which, if it surprises, will, I hope, not displease you. If I am capable of pro- ducing any thing worthy the attention of the public, it is to you that I owe it; to that truly paternal care which, from the first dawnings of my reason, has always watched over my education, and afforded me every opportunity of improvement.
