This thesis presents a small case study that uses oral testimony and resilience theory to describe Guernsey children’s experiences during World War Two. Its intent is to contribute towards the larger picture of British children’s experiences during this period. This thesis also aims to understand how the majority of those who were children on Guernsey during this time judged that, despite the obvious challenges related to wartime, their experiences had a net positive effect on their lives. Findings suggest that, consistent with resilience theory, children found the support they needed both internally using optimism, empathy, comparison, and the attitude of ‘getting on with it’ and externally from family, teachers, and the local people with whom they lived during evacuation or occupation.

It was very difficult to get through or enjoy this book, because it feels so very scattered. But his eyes were disappointing. Nannie Slagg: An ancient dwarf who serves as the nurse for infant Titus and Fuchsia before him. To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up. I honestly can't decide if I liked it better than the first two or not. So again, mixed feelings. There is no swarmer like the nimble flame; and all is over. How does this vast castle pay for itself? The emphasis on bizarre characters, or their odd characteristics, is Dickensian. As David Louis Edelman notes, the prescient Steerpike never seems to be able to accomplish much either, except to drive Titus' father mad by burning his library. At the beginning of the novel, two agents of change are introduced into the stagnant society of Gormenghast. However, it is difficult for me to imagine how such readers could at once praise Peake for the the singular, spectacular world of the first two books, and then become upset when he continues to expand his vision. Without Gormenghast's walls to hold them together, they tumble apart in their separate directions, and the narrative is a jumbled climb around a pile of disparate ruins.

In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre­ industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent.

  • Booklet Gormenghast
    A FANTASY OPERA BY IRMIN SCHMI DT Irmin Schmidt, founder of the legendary group CAN, has written an opera: GORMENGHAST. Commissioned by Wuppertaler Bühnen, the work was performed in the English language and premiered at the Operahouse Wuppertal on 15. November 1998. Inspired by Mervyn Peake’s masterpiece of gothic fantasy, English novelist Duncan Fallowell wrote the libretto in St. Petersburg, combining romance, comedy and futurism into an adventure of epic strangeness peopled by unforgettable characters. The opera is in 3 acts and centres on the rise and fall of Steerpike, a courageous, clever and charming kitchen-boy who becomes by degrees the murderous tyrant of Gormenghast Castle and its domain. In the process he bewitches and destroys Fuchsia the daughter of Gormen ghast’s opium-addicted ruler. Finally he meets his own dramatic death. The other inhabitants of this vivid decaying realm are drawn into the terrible tale. Irmin Schmidt, who studied under Ligeti and Stockhausen, not only created in CAN one of the most influential of avant garde groups, but is also a classical conductor and pianist and has com- posed music for over 70 film productions. His work transforms elements of the popular, ethnic and classical into a wholly original musical language . In both libretto and music, this integration of high culture and popular culture is not like any- thing which has gone before: it is achieved with perfect naturalness, carrying the art of opera forward into a new phase. The result is both accessible and magically unexpected: GORMENGHAST is a major addition to the world of musical theatre.

  • Levels of Style in Narrative Fiction: an Aspect of the Interpersonal Metafunction
    Situations Vol. 5 (Winter 2011) © 2011 by Yonsei University Terence Patrick Murphy Associate Professor of Rhetoric and Composition (Yonsei University, Seoul) Levels of Style in Narrative Fiction: An Aspect of the Interpersonal Metafunction ABSTRACT It is an accepted proposition that literary texts differ greatly in their degree of stylistic interest. In their landmark study, Style in Fiction (1981/2007), Geoffrey Leech and Mick Short attempt to account for this phenomenon by putting forward the concept of the relative transparency or opacity of the literary text, by means of an approach that utilizes the ideational metafunction. In this way, Leech and Short attempt to deal with the fact that literary texts contain “many degrees of translucency of style”. In my opinion, however, this concept is insufficiently flexible to handle the full range of stylistic markedness in literary language. As an alternative, I draw on the concept of the three levels of style identified in the tradition of classical rhetoric—the simple, the middle and the grand style. Building on this foundation, I approach the issue of stylistic markedness through the interpersonal metafunction, outlining a model of style that utilizes four separate levels, with two approximate end-points that can be identified with select literary texts. The model allows for a richer explanation of the literary text’s stylistic virtuosity, which results from the author’s ability to shift among the different levels for aesthetic effect. Keywords: classical rhetoric, dualism, ideational metafunction, interpersonal metafunction, literary language, monism, tenor. 40 There are, then, three kinds of style, called types, to which discourse, if faultless, confines itself: the first we call the Grand; the second, the Middle; the third, the Simple.

  • Guernsey’S Policy on Tax Information Exchange Agreements (“Tieas”) and Double Taxation Arrangements (“Dtas”) (Updated to 1 May 2015)
    Guernsey’s policy on Tax Information Exchange Agreements (“TIEAs”) and Double Taxation Arrangements (“DTAs”) (Updated to 1 May 2015) Background The Government of Guernsey has a long-standing commitment to being a well-regulated, co- operative and transparent international finance centre. In January 2011 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released its report on Guernsey as part of its financial stability assessment programme. The IMF concluded that Guernsey has met or exceeded the internationally accepted regulatory standards as endorsed by the G20. For example, the IMF concluded that Guernsey’s level of compliance with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations exceeded that of any other jurisdiction. Guernsey was included on the first OECD exchange of tax information “White List” established in 2009. In 2010, Guernsey was subject to the first of a two-phase peer review of its tax information exchange frameworks. Phase 2 took place in late 2012. The Report ,which was adopted by the Global Forum in April 2013, found Guernsey’s legislative and administrative regime to have in place all of the elements necessary for meeting the international standards on transparency and information exchange (with only minor elements needing improvement). As a consequence, in November 2013, the Global Forum rated Guernsey as “Largely Compliant” overall, a rating that it shares with jurisdictions such as the UK and the USA. Introduction Guernsey has been fully committed to the OECD Project on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes for many years. Guernsey commenced negotiations on its first TIEA at the end of 2001, gave formal commitment to the OECD process in February 2002 and concluded its first TIEA, with the United States, in September 2002.

  • The Book of Ebenezer Le Page and Guernsey Literature and History
    ‘THE ROCK WHENCE YE ARE HEWN’: THE BOOK OF EBENEZER LE PAGE AND GUERNSEY LITERATURE AND HISTORY It say in the Bible ‘Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.’ Well, those people are the rock whence I was hewn, and the hole of the pit whence I was digged. I haven’t said nothing about my cousins, and the cousins of my cousins; but then half the island is my cousins, and the cousins of my cousins. The Book of Ebenezer Le Page was published posthumously in 1981 and was highly praised on publication by such major contemporary novelists as John Fowles and William Golding. The novel sold well and created an interest in Guernsey life that it had seldom attracted before. Doubtless the vivid local colour of the book and its evocation of Guernsey’s ‘otherness’ within modern British and European culture had a large part to do with its success. The circumstantial details of the publication of the novel o·er the stu· of good journalistic copy. The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is Edwards’s only published novel. He began it when he was in his late sixties; he made a few unsuccessful attempts to publish it when he was in his early seventies; and it was finally published in 1981, five years after his death in 1976. Very little else is known of Edwards’s life. He was born on Guernsey in 1899, but left the island as a young man to study at Bristol University.
