  • The Boats of Swallows and Amazons
    The Boats of Swallows and Amazons Amazon on Coniston Contents Introduction The Swallow Rowing the Swallow Rigging the Swallow A letter from Roger Fothergill, an owner of the original Swallow Unknown Details The Amazon Sailing Performance Assesements Design Recommendations for new Swallows The Nancy Blackett and the Goblin The Best Boat? Design Recommendations for new Swallows Introduction What exactly were the Swallow and the Amazon like, those famous sailboats of Arthur Ransome's books Swallows and Amazons and Swallowdale? Many readers would love to recreate the adventures of the Walker and Blackett children for themselves, or for their own children, and they want to learn more about the boats. The boats of these special stories were real boats, just as many of the locations in the stories are real places. This essay describes what we know of the Swallow and the Amazon. In the summer of 1928, Ernest Altounyan, a friend of Arthur Ransome, came to Coniston Water with his family and soon thereafter bought two boats for his children. The children were Taqui (age eleven), Susan (age nine), Titty (age eight), Roger (age six), and Bridgit (nearly three). The children became the models for characters in Arthur Ransome's books, and the boats became the Swallow and Amazon. Susan and Roger crewed the Swallow, while Taqui and Titty crewed the Mavis, which was the model for the Amazon. The Mavis (Amazon), may be seen today, in good order, at the Windermere Steamboat Museum near Lake Windermere. When the Altounyans later moved to Syria, they gave the Swallow to Arthur Ransome, who lived at Low Ludderburn near Lake Windermere.

  • The Consensus View on Camping and Tramping Fiction Is That It First
    Camping and Tramping, Swallows and Amazons: Interwar Children’s Fiction and the Search for England Hazel Sheeky A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Newcastle University May 2012 Abstract For many in Britain, the interwar period was a time of significant social, political and cultural anxiety. In the aftermath of the First World War, with British imperial power apparently waning, and with the politics of class becoming increasingly pressing, many came to perceive that traditional notions of British, and particularly English, identity were under challenge. The interwar years saw many cultural responses to the concerns these perceived challenges raised, as seen in H. V. Morton’s In Search of England (1927) and J. B. Priestley’s English Journey (1934). The sense of socio-cultural crisis was also registered in children’s literature. This thesis will examine one significant and under-researched aspect of the responses to the cultural anxieties of the inter-war years: the ‘camping and tramping’ novel. The term ‘camping and tramping’ refers to a sub-genre of children’s adventure stories that emerged in the 1930s. These novels focused on the holiday leisure activities – generally sailing, camping and hiking - of largely middle-class children in the British (and most often English) countryside. Little known beyond Arthur Ransome’s ‘Swallows and Amazons’ novels (1930-1947), this thesis undertakes a full survey of camping and tramping fiction, developing for the first time a taxonomy of this sub-genre (chapter one).

  • Arthur Ransome and the Dialect of Norfolk
    The Buckingham Journal of Language and Linguistics 2015 Volume 8 pp 79-98 ARTHUR RANSOME AND THE DIALECT OF NORFOLK Graeme Davis University of Buckingham [email protected] ABSTRACT Arthur Ransome provides information about the dialect of the English county of Norfolk as it was actually spoken in the 1930s. Two of his novels (Coot Club and The Big Six) are set on the Norfolk Broads. In these he offers some Norfolk vocabulary within the reported speech of some of his characters, along with some direct reflection on the dialect. However his masterpiece of Norfolk dialect is within Coots in the North (his unfinished novel, not published during his lifetime) where he presents what is in effect an extended Norfolk dialogue of over two-hundred lines. Ransome was an astute observer of language, and records the Norfolk dialogue with apparent accuracy and without contrivance. 1. INTRODUCTION Norfolk dialect is a Southern English dialect once commonplace throughout the county of Norfolk and of which fragments survive in use today. There is considerable overlap with the dialect of neighbouring Suffolk, and several nineteenth century accounts described the two together as East Anglia dialect. Twentieth century writers made the distinction between Norfolk and Suffolk. Arthur Ransome, a resident of Suffolk, is clear that his Coots are speaking the dialect of Norfolk. Norfolk dialect has a history as long as the English settlement of the British Isles, though with few texts to preserve it. Horatio Nelson tells us “I am a Norfolk man, and glory in being so”, and in the rare occasions when his words are recorded verbatim it is possible that we glimpse the Norfolk dialect of the second half of the eighteenth century.

  • 'Swallows and Amazons for Ever!'
    About the Book ‘Swallows and Amazons for ever!’ The Walker children – also known as Captain John, Mate Susan, Able-Seaman Titty, and Ship’s Boy Roger - set sail on the Swallow and head for Wild Cat Island. There they camp under open skies, swim in clear water and go fishing for their dinner. But their days are disturbed by the Blackett sisters, the fierce Amazon pirates. The Swallows and Amazons decide to battle it out, and so begins a summer of unforgettable discoveries and incredible adventures. About the Author Arthur Ransome was born in Leeds in 1884. He had an adventurous life – as a baby in he was carried by his father to the top of the Old Man of Coniston, a peak that is 2,276ft high! He went to Russia in 1913 to study folklore and in 1914, at the start of World War I he became a foreign correspondent for the Daily News. In 1917 when the Russian Revolution began he became a journalist and was a special correspondent of the Guardian newspaper. He knew many of the leading Bolshevik figures, including Lenin, Trotsky and the latter’s secretary, Evgenia Shvelpina. These contacts led to persistent but unproven accusations that he ‘spied’ for both the Bolsheviks and Britain. Ransome married Evgenia and returned to England in 1924. He bought a cottage near Windermere in the Lake District in the late 1920s and worked as a foreign correspondent and highly-respected angling columnist for the Manchester Guardian. He wrote Swallows and Amazons in 1930. And that was just the beginning of a series of twelve books which feature the same beloved characters and adventures with boats.

  • Diana Wynne Jones Saying That Her Novels ‘Provide a Space Where Children Can
    University of Wollongong Research Online Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts 2009 "Mum’s a silly fusspot”: the queering of family in Diana Wynne Ika Willis University of Bristol, [email protected] Publication Details I.

Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] "Mum’s a silly fusspot”: the queering of family in Diana Wynne Abstract In Four British Fantasists, Butler cites Diana Wynne Jones saying that her novels ‘provide a space where children can... walk round their problems and think “Mum’s a silly fusspot and I don’t need to be quite so enslaved by her notions”‘ (267). That is, as I will argue in this paper, Jones’ work aims to provide readers with the emotional, narrative and intellectual resources to achieve a critical distance from their families of origin. I will provide a brief survey of the treatment of family in Jones’ children’s books, with particular reference to Charmed Life, The Lives of Christopher Chant, The grO e Downstairs, Cart and Cwidder, Drowned Ammet, The omeH ward Bounders and Hexwood, and then narrow my focus to two of Jones’ classic 4 treatments of family: Eight Days of Luke and Archer’s Goon. I will read these books in terms of the ways in which their child protagonists reposition themselves in relation to family in the course of their narratives.

  • Arthur Ransome Literary Estate
    Arthur Ransome Literary Estate Introduction Arthur Ransome died on 3rd June, 1967. Copyright terms The bulk of Ransome’s works will remain in copyright in the UK and EU until 31st December, 2037. Exceptions include works first published after his death, which will continue in copyright until 70 years after the year of first publication. The Blue Treacle, for example, was first published in 1993, so it will remain in copyright until 2063. Copyright status in other territories depends on those territories’ copyright laws. Countries that are signatories to the Berne Convention will apply the same author’s life + 70 years term as the UK. However, there may be detailed differences arising from different countries historical laws. The USA is probably the most significant of these. All of Arthur Ransome’s works published before 31 December, 1922, are out of copyright within the USA and its dependent territories. All of his works published from 1 January, 1923 onwards are in copyright. This is by virtue of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), signed into US law in December, 1994. The URAA implemented the Uruguay round of the Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Its relevance, for Ransome’s works, is that it automatically restored copyright, within the US, for post-1922 works by foreign authors that were still under copyright in their source country. A number of countries maintain shorter copyright terms than the life + 70 years Berne standard. These include Canada, at life + 50 years. Under Canadian law, Ransome’s works entered the public domain on 1 January, 2018.
