Richard Boris Ford (1 July 1917 in India – 19 May 1998), [1] [2] known as Boris Ford , was a literary critic, writer, and educationist. Contents. Early life [ edit | edit source ] The son of an Indian Army officer, Brigadier Geoffrey Noel Ford, and his Russian wife Ekaterina, [3] Ford was a chorister at King's College, Cambridge, eventually becoming head chorister. [4] He was then educated at Gresham's School, and through his English master there, Denys Thompson, was introduced to F.R. Leavis under whom he studied at Downing College, Cambridge. [2] [3] Even before graduating, Ford's essay on Wuthering Heights was published by Leavis in Scrutiny in March 1939. Although he came to share many of Leavis's ideas, Ford could not follow Leavis in making "exclusion and exclusivity major features of [Leavis's] critical policy". [2] Ford had an increasingly stormy relationship with Leavis and his wife Q. D.: at one point, Q. D. wrote to him "Mrs Leavis informs Mr Ford that he is no longer an acceptable visitor to her house. Any communications from him will not be answered." [1] Career [ edit | edit source ] After Cambridge, Ford joined the army, and from 1940 until the end of the Second World War was the officer commanding the Middle East School of Artistic Studies. [1] He then became chief editor and director of the Army Bureau of Current Affairs (ABCA). So critical of Britain were ABCA's seminars addressed to officers and men that Ford attracted the attention of MI5. Indeed, Ford believed that the Labour Party came to power in 1945 as a result of ABCA's democratizing influence. [3] In 1951 Ford became information officer of UNESCO's technical assistance board. In 1953 he was invited by W. E. Williams, who had been a colleague at ABCA, to edit a multi-authored seven-volume Pelican Guide to English Literature (1954–61; revised, 1982–8). This was indebted in many senses to Leavis, who, when he closed Scrutiny in 1953, remarked bitterly that Ford had "approached my main people", and considered that some of the Pelican Guide essays were derivative. Nonetheless, the series broke new ground: notably the first volume, The Age of Chaucer , included a 200-page anthology of non-Chaucerian medieval poetry in original texts, so introducing early English poetry to several contemporary poets. [3] Ford became Associated Rediffusion's first head of schools broadcasting (1957–58), during which time he persuaded Benjamin Britten to compose his church opera Noye's Fludde for a series of programmes. [2] However, Ford was dismissed before the opera was produced, on the grounds that Ford was "not suitable for the post". [5] However, other accounts suggest that his dismissal came following his objection to the broadcast of unsuitable advertisements between programmes, [3] and to the cancellation of school broadcasts to accommodate afternoon horse racing in the schedules. [6] In 1957–8 Ford was Education Secretary to the Cambridge University Press. [3] He then became Professor of Education and Director of the Institute of Education at University of Sheffield from 1960 to 1963, when he became Professor of Education at Sussex University (1963–73). At Sussex, with the support of Asa Briggs, he helped establish a music department in 1971 with Donald Mitchell as visiting Professor of Music. While at Sussex, Ford was Dean at the School of Cultural and Community Studies (1963–71). After leaving Sussex in 1973, Ford became Professor of Education at Bristol until 1982. [2] The Pelican Guide to English Literature series was followed by the even more ambitious The Cambridge Guide to the Arts in Britain (in nine volumes, 1988–91). [2] Family [ edit | edit source ] He was married twice. With his first wife, Noreen, he had two daughters and a son, and was the step father to Noreen's daughter by her first marriage. He was the step father of a daughter of his second wife, Inge. [1] From James to Eliot. ThriftBooks: Read More, Spend Less.Dust jacket quality is not guaranteed. Reviews.

  • Revision Questions
    77 REVISION QUESTIONS These questions are designed to act as a stimulus to a consideration of particular aspects of Chaucer's purpose and craft, as well as offering an idea of the kind of questions to be expected in examinations. 1. 'Individuals, types, moral emblems - and some are all three.' Discuss this comment on Chaucer's characters. 2. 'The purpose ofsatire is the moral reform ofsociety.' How far does this correctly describe Chaucer's purpose in The General Prologue? 3. 'The fact of people not practising what they preach is an unfailing source of amusement to him.' Discuss this comment as it applies to The General Prologue. 4. How does Chaucer avoid the danger of monotony in describing so many pilgrims one after another? 5. Determine and illustrate the varieties of humour in The General Prologue. 6. 'The condicioun of ech of hem ...and whiche they weren, and of what degree, and eek in what array that they were inne.' Show how Chaucer fulfils this purpose with reference to three or four characters in The General Prologue. 7. 'God saw that the world was good. And God was partly right.' How far does this remark describe Chaucer's attitude to the society of his time as represented by the pilgrims? 79 FURTHER READING Long book lists can be both daunting and useless, if a student cannot decide what will be of immediate interest to him. For this reason this bibliography has been kept very short. Its purpose is merely to point in one or two useful directions; further signposts are plentiful as soon as any of these books are examined.

D. Leavis. It argues that academic literary studies inculcated masculine critical rhetoric into the discipline, revolving around the conceptual pillars of stoicism, seriousness, and hard work, and that this rhetoric had a material impact on early women scholars.

As far as possible an adherence to The Oxford Dictionary of English has been made for spellings, where a choice is necessary. Any direct quotations from Britten’s letters or diaries (or, indeed, any correspondence relating to him) maintain his rather idiosyncratic and variable spelling style (e.g. ‘abit’) and his practice for underlining words, which would appear to be a habit he retained from childhood, and no attempt has thus been made to alter them.

  • Appendix a the Leavises and Other Literatures
    Appendix A The Leavises and Other Literatures Those who delight in discrediting or diminishing Leavis's achieve­ ment commonly cite his provinciality and bad manners for the coup de grace. But they usually give themselves away instead. To call Leavis provincial is patently absurd; and the charge of bad man­ ners is nine times out of ten highly debatable. Rene Wellek, a doughty combatant, calls Leavis 'provincial and insular' on account of three things: his 'concern with the Eng­ lish provincial moral tradition which he apparently fmds in Shakespeare, in Bunyan, in Jane Austen, in George Eliot, and D. H. Lawrence, all countryfolk'; his 'concern for his students, for the controversies of his university'; the fact that 'besides English and American, he seems to have no interest whatever in another literature' . 1 This is a caricature of Leavis, not the truth. The f1rst proposition neatly omits James and Conrad, to go no further; and as ifLeavis's interest in Shakespeare, and in promoting the great novelists, both American and English, as Shakespeare's successors, could be called provincial or insular! The second proposition trivialises the author of Educa#on and the University. (Ironically, there is an essay printed along with Wellek's in which Northrop Frye, with all the appearance of making new insights, discusses the university as a centre of spiritual authority in the modem world-Leavis's theme for more than twenty years before.) The third proposition, even if true, ignores a key premise with Leavis, that to say anything of weight the student of literature must become thoroughly at home in his own literature .first, before he branches out into other literatures.

  • Benjamin Britten's Absorption of and Contribution to the Lied
    Benjamin Britten’s absorption of and contribution to the Lied tradition Paul Higgins Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) grew up in a musical household. His mother was a keen amateur singer who was active in the local Choral Society and also encouraged the family’s musical entertainment of guests. In his contribution to Mitchell and Keller’s 1952 book, Peter Pears lists the repertory performed in the Britten household; prominent among this repertoire are the songs of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms and of lesser significance some lighter weight songs of Arthur Sullivan, ballads of Liza Lehmann and others, and some few folk songs,1 thus highlighting the relative importance of German Lieder as a formative influence on this young composer. From an early age Britten’s role in this musical household was to provide the piano accompaniment for his mother’s voice, who performed her son’s early settings; this formative experience of writing for and accompanying high voice was to become a significant and permanent of Britten’s vocal writing style. This article seeks to identify and critically assess the significance of art song to Britten’s compositional achievements; while addressing specifically the genres of solo art song with instrumental accompaniment and orchestral song, it excludes the consideration of Britten’s vocal duets, trios and dramatic works. This selection reflects the fact that it is in these two genres that Britten approaches most directly the origins of the German art song tradition. In addressing solo-voice art song, the following, separate yet inter-related questions are central to an understanding of Britten’s engagement with English art song: What attracted Britten to the genre of art song? Was this association consistent throughout his career? How did the tradition of art song form and shape his aesthetic view of the artist in society? And, finally, how did he build upon these traditions and make his own contribution to this genre? 1 Peter Pears: ‘The Vocal Music’ Benjamin Britten a Commentary on his Works from a Group of Specialists, ed.
