UKL said she wanted to write about Europe but felt that as an American, she wouldn't be taken seriously if she did so - so she invented a central European country Orsinia in the hope that would allow her to get away with it. Upon reflection this morning, what has stayed with me is how much depth and life she has given to the story of a political prisoner, whose story could have been captured only around his imprisonment, but whose life was so much more.

The square was paved nearly three hundred years ago, so a lot of feet have walked on this stone, bare feet and shod, children's little pads, horses' iron shoes, soldiers' boots; and wheels have gone over and over it, cart wheels, carriage wheels, car tires, tank treads. The end of Summer in the countryside, , particularly redound through history, for instance, but the story captures a mood exceptionally and delightfully. It is less well known that she first developed these themes in the richly imagined historical fiction collected in this volume, which inaugurates the Library of America edition of her works. Le Guin's regular old fiction is as stunning and heartfelt as her sci-fi and fantasy, written with compassion and a grasp of progressive politics that should be a shining example to the world.

  • Ursula K Le Guin
    Preface By calling this book The Compass Rose I hoped to suggest that some pattern or coherence may be perceived in it, while indicating that the stories it contains tend to go off each in its own direction. They take place all over the map, including the margins. It is not even clear to me what the map is a map of. A mind, no doubt; presumably the author’s. But I expect there is more to it than that. One’s mind is never simply one’s own, even at birth, and ever less so as one lives, learns, loses, etc. The four directions, NESW, of the Rose of the Winds, our magnetic compass, converge into or arise out of an unspoken fifth direction, the center, the corolla of the rose. Many of the American peoples who were dispossessed by the compass- guided invaders from the East structured their world upon the four wind directions (or half-directions) and two more, Above and Below, also radial to the center/self/here and now, which may sacramentally contain the other six, and thus the Universe. This is the compass in four dimensions, spatial and temporal, material and spiritual, the Rose of the New World. As a guide to sailors this book is not to be trusted. Perhaps it is too sensitive to local magnetic fields. Within it, various circling motions may be perceived,as between the first and last stories, and the fourth and seventeenth. It gives rise to apparent excursions outward which are in fact incursions inward, such as the eleventh story; while the only piece describing a place whose objective reality may be confirmed on a present-day map of present-day Earth, the seventh, is perhaps the most subjective one of the lot.

    L L L Page 1 of 8 Original Research LLL i t e r a t o r Womanspace: The underground and the labyrinth in Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea narratives Authors: Ursula K. Le Guin’s renowned Earthsea cycle, spanning 20 years and five texts, is often 1 Lynette Douglas acknowledged to be a textual space for the creative exploration and interrogation of gender. Deirdre Byrne1 The two spaces in the title – ‘earth’ and ‘sea’ – are held in equilibrium, both by the author’s Affiliations: craft and by magic. Unfortunately, though, few critics have explored how these spaces 1Department of English function in the narrative. In this article, we explore the representation of underground Studies, University of South spaces and labyrinths as meaningful landscapes in the Earthsea cycle. These spaces are found Africa, South Africa throughout Le Guin’s Earthsea fiction, but are foregrounded in four narratives: ‘The finder’ Correspondence to: and ‘The bones of the earth’ (Tales from Earthsea), The tombs of Atuan and The other wind. Le Lynette Douglas Guin’s writing consistently identifies the earth as feminine, in keeping with the archetype of ‘Mother Earth’, and we find that subterranean spaces and labyrinths are depicted as sites Email: [email protected] of power and empowerment for women. Nevertheless, we argue that Le Guin’s affinity for gender equity and balance prevents these tropes from becoming another tired revisioning of Postal address: an easy equation of earthy forces and ‘the feminine’. Rather, for Le Guin, the underground PO Box 392, Tshwane 0003, and the labyrinth are sites of union between masculine and feminine elements and characters, South Africa through the empowerment of the feminine.

  • New Cultural Models in Women-S Fantasy Literature Sarah Jane Gamble Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University
    NEW CULTURAL MODELS IN WOMEN-S FANTASY LITERATURE SARAH JANE GAMBLE SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD, DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH LITERATURE OCTOBER 1991 NEW CULTURAL MODELS IN WOMEN'S FANTASY LITERATURE Sarah Jane Gamble This thesis examines the way in which modern women writers use non­ realistic literary forms in order to create new role models of and for women. The work of six authors are analysed in detail - Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Margaret Atwood, Ursula Le Guin, Joanna Russ and Kate Wilhelm. I argue that they share a discontent with the conventions of classic realism, which they all regard as perpetuating ideologically-generated stereotypes of women. Accordingly, they move away from mimetic modes in order to formulate a discourse which will challenge conventional representations of the 'feminine', arriving at a new conception of the female subject. I argue that although these writers represent a range of feminist responses to the dominant order, they all arrive at a s1mil~r conviction that such an order is male-dominated. All exhibit an awareness of the work of feminist critics, creating texts which consciously interact with feminist theory. I then discuss how these authors use their art to examine the their own situation as women who write. All draw the attention to the existence of a tradition of female censorship, whereby the creative woman has experienced, in an intensified form, the repreSSion experienced by all women in a culture which privileges the male over the female. All these writers exhibit a desire to escape such a tradition, progressing towards the formulation of a utopian female subject who is free to be fully creative a project they represent metaphorically in the form of a quest.

Le Guin’s The Earthsea Cycle A thesis submitted to The Graduate Institute of English National Taiwan Normal University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts by Yen-I Ou June 2010 ix 摘要 娥蘇拉‧勒瑰恩《地海六部曲》的創作橫跨三十多年，而每一部新的地海 作品總是不斷改寫前一部作品中既有的架構，其中對龍的描寫更是不斷顛覆西方 古典敘事中龍的原型，使龍有愈趨人性化的傾向。在不斷對龍去妖魔化與動物化 的過程中，勒瑰恩也跳脫了傳統西方英雄敘事中以人征服自然為主軸的架構，並 加入了女性主體的覺醒，從而與德希達的動物論述與東方老子哲學的柔弱思想， 能夠相互呼應。地海之龍的形象與塑造，因而可作為進一步探究人、動物、自然 三者交互關係的論述對象。另外，勒瑰恩藉著地海之龍的演變，也透露出她對「改 變」一詞所持的看法，與之在地海作品中不斷提到的「平衡」觀，產生持續的相 互辯證關係。故本論文希冀從觀察地海之龍的改變與發展，除了討論地海世界不 斷產生的自我解構外，也在東西方對人性與動物性的探究上，提供一種融合的詮 釋之道。 關鍵詞：《地海六部曲》，龍，動物，凱密拉 (Chimera)，巫術，德希達，道家思 想，平衡，改變。 xi Abstract Ursula K. Le Guin has spanned over three decades to create her classic fantasy The Earthsea Cycle, and in each new Earthsea book, she keeps rewriting the structure she designates for the previous one. Among all the changes, her depiction for the Earthsea dragons especially subverts the draconian archetype in the Western conventional narratives, enabling her dragons to be humanized step by step. In the process of de-demonizing and de-animalizing the Earthsea dragons, Le Guin also escapes the confines set by the traditional Western heroism, which often acclaims the human conquering over Nature.
