  • Book Club Discussion Guide
    Book Club Discussion Guide Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier ______________________________________________________________ About the Author Daphne du Maurier, who was born in 1907, was the second daughter of the famous actor and theatre manager-producer, Sir Gerald du Maurier, and granddaughter of George du Maurier, the much-loved Punch artist who also created the character of Svengali in the novel Trilby. After being educated at home with her sisters, and then in Paris, she began writing short stories and articles in 1928, and in 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit, was published. Two others followed. Her reputation was established with her frank biography of her father, Gerald: A Portrait, and her Cornish novel, Jamaica Inn. When Rebecca came out in 1938 she suddenly found herself to her great surprise, one of the most popular authors of the day. The book went into thirty-nine English impressions in the next twenty years and has been translated into more than twenty languages. There were fourteen other novels, nearly all bestsellers. These include Frenchman's Creek (1941), Hungry Hill (1943), My Cousin Rachel (1951), Mary Anne (1954), The Scapegoat (1957), The Glass-Blowers (1963), The Flight of the Falcon (1965) and The House on the Strand (1969). Besides her novels she published a number of volumes of short stories, Come Wind, Come Weather (1941), Kiss Me Again, Stranger (1952), The Breaking Point (1959), Not After Midnight (1971), Don't Look Now and Other Stories (1971), The Rendezvous and Other Stories (1980) and two plays— The Years Between (1945) and September Tide (1948). She also wrote an account of her relations in the last century, The du Mauriers, and a biography of Branwell Brontë, as well as Vanishing Cornwall, an eloquent elegy on the past of a country she loved so much.

Without their constant love and support, this paper would not have been possible. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Monahan for serving as my advisor during this experience and for introducing me to Daphne du Maurier‟s literature.

Doris, your help allowed me to enjoy writing this paper, rather than fearing the research I needed to conduct. Gentile4 Abstract: Daphne du Maurier lived an unconventional life in which she rebelled against the standards society had set in place for a woman of her time. Du Maurier‟s inferiority complex, along with her incestuous feelings and bisexuality, set the stage for the characters and events in her most famous novel, Rebecca.

  • CHAPTER II BIOGRAPHY of the AUTHOR and SYNOPSIS of the STORY A. Biography of Daphne Du Marier Daphne Du Maurier, an Author
    CHAPTER II BIOGRAPHY OF THE AUTHOR AND SYNOPSIS OF THE STORY A. Biography of Daphne du Marier Daphne du Maurier, an author, was born on May 13, 1907 in London, England. She was from a family of artists. Her grandfather, George du Maurier, was a famous caricaturist. Meanwhile, her mother, Muriel Beaumont, was an actress, and her father, Sir Gerald du Maurier was an actor. She was the second of three sisters. Her younger sister was Angela du Maurier, also an author, and her older sister was a painter named Jeanne du Maurier. Daphne du Maurier was taught to write at home, and then went to school in Paris. She began writing articles when she was 19 years old. She wrote a lot of famous novels, among which are many those have been adapted into films, including “Rebecca”. Her novels included “I’ll never be Young Again” (1932), “The Loving Spirit” (1931), and “The Progress of Julius” (1933). She did not only write novels but also a lot of short stories, plays, and biographies. Her works tell about women, usually those who are strong and dominating men, as shown in her novels “My Cousin Rachel” and “Rebecca”. Many of her works were written at Menabilly, a very big house of hers that has been legendary since 17th century located in Cronwall, Western England. She liked to stay there as she could feel free and was able to do anything she wanted. She could write, walk, wander, hike hills, as well as soil on her own boat so that she could get so many inspirations to be written in her works.

  • Operation Market Garden
    Operation Market Garden Monty's massive cock-up... Compiled by Andy Owen Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an unsuccessful Allied military operation, fought in the Netherlands and Germany in the Second World War. The operation was split into two sub-operations: Market - the airborne forces, the First Allied Airborne Army, who would seize bridges Garden - the ground forces, consisting of the British XXX Corps Market Garden contained the largest airborne operation up to that point. Field Marshal Montgomery's strategic goal was to encircle the heart of German industry, the Ruhr, in a pincer movement. The northern end of the pincer would circumvent the northern end of the Siegfried Line giving easier access into Germany. The aim of Operation Market Garden was to establish the northern end of a pincer, ready to project deeper into Germany. 1 Allied forces would project north from Belgium, 60 miles (97 km) through Holland, across the Rhine and consolidate north of Arnhem on the Dutch/German border ready to close the pincer. The operation made massed use of airborne forces, whose tactical objectives were to secure the bridges and allow a rapid advance by armoured ground units to consolidate north of Arnhem. The operation required the seizure of the bridges across the Maas (Meuse River), two arms of the Rhine (the Waal and the Lower Rhine) together with crossings over several smaller canals and tributaries. Several bridges between Eindhoven and Nijmegen were captured at the beginning of the operation. Lieutenant-General Brian Horrocks' XXX Corps ground force advance was delayed by the initial failure of the airborne units to secure bridges at Son and Nijmegen.
