  • The Amises on Realism and Postmodernism
    The Amises on Realism and Postmodernism: Stanley and the Women (1984) and Money: A Suicide Note (1984) By Gavin Keulks When viewed as companion texts, or contemporaneous instances of revaluative critique, Kingsley Amis’s fifteenth novel, Stanley and the Women, and Martin’s fifth novel, Money: A Suicide Note illuminate two subjects hitherto unexamined in the Amis père et fils relationship: the Amises’ perspectives on postmodernism and their controversial portraits of women. Whereas Lucky Jim and The Rachel Papers situated the Amises in relation to their divergent forms of comedy, and whereas Ending Up and Dead Babies positioned them in relation to their satiric differences, Stanley and the Women and Money extended their confrontations into new generic territory, interrogating their opinions about the evolution of postmodernism and realism. A novel that explicitly rejects all forms of literary fabulation, Kingsley’s Stanley and the Women declares the validity of classically realistic protocol. A forum for Martin’s postmodernist leanings, Money subverts the narrative assumptions that inform Kingsley’s more traditional brand of social realism. Both novels, however, confront variations of literary tradition and patriarchy: one that is socio-political in nature, concerned with distinctions between patriarchy and misogyny, and one that is generic, or modal, concerned with the modal transformations within realism. While the Amises’ writings continued to reflect their engagement in a covert literary war, their dual 1984 texts featured an additional dynamic: whereas previous novels revealed Martin’s dedication to reworking his father’s texts and his literary authority, by 1984, Martin’s career had begun to eclipse his father’s.

Notes Index Copyright About the Book Human consciousness, long the province of literature, has lately come in for a remapping – even rediscovery – by the natural sciences, driven by developments in Artificial Intelligence, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. But as the richest record we have of human consciousness, literature, David Lodge suggests, may offer a kind of knowledge about this phenomenon that is complementary, not opposed, to scientific knowledge. Writing with characteristic wit and brio, and employing the insight and acumen of a skilled novelist and critic, Lodge here explores the representation of human consciousness in fiction (mainly English and American) in the light of recent investigations in cognitive science, neuroscience, and related disciplines. How, Lodge asks, does the novel represent consciousness? And how has this changed over time? In a series of interconnected essays, he pursues this question down various paths: how does the novel's method compare with that of other creative media such as film? How does the consciousness (and unconscious) of the creative writer do its work? And how can criticism infer the nature of this process through formal analysis? In essays on Charles Dickens, E.M.

  • The Quatermass Experiment by Nigel Kneale the Quatermass Experiment by Nigel Kneale
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Quatermass Experiment by Nigel Kneale The Quatermass Experiment by Nigel Kneale. He died in a London hospital after a period of ill health, his agent said. Kneale's The Quatermass Experiment in 1953 was the UK's first sci-fi serial and created its first TV hero, the alien-battling Bernard Quatermass. The writer, from the Isle of Man, has been cited as an influence by Stephen King and film-maker John Carpenter. The Quatermass Experiment told the story of an alien monster brought back to Earth by a British space rocket. Robert Simpson, on Hammer Films' official website, said it was "event television, emptying the streets and pubs for the six weeks of its duration". Last year BBC Four broadcast a live remake starring David Tennant and Jason Flemyng. Channel controller Janice Hadlow described the original as "one of the first 'must watch' TV experiences that inspired the water cooler chat of its day". It was followed by two further serials in the 1950s, Quatermass II and Quatermass and the Pit, with all three dramas later turned into films. A fourth serial, Quatermass, was made in 1979. Kneale also scripted TV dramas including 1984, The Year of the Sex Olympics and The Stone Tape, which are regarded as modern classics. His 1954 adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 was so shocking that questions were asked in the House of Commons about the suitability of such material for television. Kneale earned two Bafta best screenplay nominations for his film adaptations of John Osborne's plays Look Back in Anger and The Entertainer.

  • Title Episode# Date Duration Stars/Comments Genre: Detective Mystery Various 30 Min
    Page 1 Series: Raffles (BBC) Network: BBC Radio 4 Sponsor: Sustaining Title Episode# Date Duration Stars/Comments Genre: Detective Mystery Various 30 min. E.W. Hornung's 'Raffles' stories centered around 'gentleman burglar' A. J. Raffles and his accomplice Bunny Manders. Most notable as the gentleman thief were Ronald Coleman in a film titled Raffles of 1930 & David Niven in a remake of this in 1940. Jeremy Clyde and Michael Cochrane first seem to have performed the roles on television in dramatised extracts in the BBC documentary series 'The Crime Writers', so perhaps it is not surprising that they were selected to bring the characters to radio. Series 1 The Ides of March 1 85-10-20 28:00 Bunny is desperately in need of some ready cash to repay a gambling debt. His old schoolfellow, the celebrated English cricketer A. J. Raffles, knows just the person to help a fellow out. He's a jeweller in Bond Street - and funnily enough, Raffles had planned to pay him a surprise visit that very night. Series 1 Gentlemen and Players 2 85-10-27 28:00 When Raffles and Bunny are engaged for cricketing weeks at country estates, the playing of cricket can hardly be said to be their chief preoccupation. Bunny is an incorrigible ladies man, while Raffles takes an understandable professional interest in his fellow guests portable property. Insp. MacKenzie, played by Henry Stamper ; Crawshay played by Ron Pember . Series 1 A Costume Piece 3 85-11-03 28:00 Reuben Rosenthall has made his millions in the diamond fields of South Africa, and it seems only right and proper to Raffles that some of this wealth should be redistributed.

  • REVIEWS Stanley and the Women (1984) Kingsley Amis (1922
    REVIEWS Stanley and the Women (1984) Kingsley Amis (1922-1995) FEMINIST CENSORSHIP “To one of the characters in Kingsley Amis’ new novel, women have always seemed just ‘like the Russians--if you did exactly what they wanted all the time you were being realistic and constructive and promoting the cause of peace, and if you ever stood up to them you were resorting to cold war tactics and pursuing imperialist designs and interfering in their internal affairs.’ Amis, who has been poking barbs at assorted targets ever since his 1950 novel Lucky Jim, says impishly, ‘I like to annoy people, really,’ but the reaction of some feminists to Stanley and the Women has been more than annoying. Almost all his 16 earlier novels have been published in the U.S.; this one has been shunned by American publishers, however, even though it was well reviewed in England. Two U.S. firms expressed interest, claims the author’s agent Jonathan Clowes, but backed off because of ‘opposition from lady members of their board of directors.’ Critical acclaim for the book has been such, however, that negotiations with U.S. publishers are again under way. Amis, 62 and twice married, unrepentantly muses. ‘Hasn’t every man said either to himself or out loud at some point, ‘They’re mad. They’re absolutely mad’?” Time (1984) REVIEWS “For a while there it looked as if readers in the land of the free and the home of the brave were going to be protected from Author Kingsley Amis’ 17th novel. Although it had won considerable acclaim when it appeared in England during the spring of 1984, Stanley and the Women did not find U.S.

Knightraven Studios LLC presents: A. J. Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman by E. W. Hornung Published 1905 The Ides of March I It was half-past twelve when I returned to the Albany as a last desperate resort. The scene of my disaster was much as I had left it. The baccarat-counters still strewed the table, with the empty glasses and the loaded ash-trays. A window had been opened to let the smoke out, and was letting in the fog instead. Raffles himself had merely discarded his dining jacket for one of his innumerable blazers. Yet he arched his eyebrows as though I had dragged him from his bed. “Forgotten something?” said he, when he saw me on his mat. “No,” said I, pushing past him without ceremony. And I led the way into his room with an impudence amazing to myself. “Not come back for your revenge, have you? Because I’m afraid I can’t give it to you single-handed. I was sorry myself that the others—” We were face to face by his fireside, and I cut him short. “Raffles,” said I, “you may well be surprised at my coming back in this way and at this hour. I hardly know you.
