They act parts. If you see that, then part of you has a certain degree of freedom.” Email Address* This is how Nicholas Mosley, in an interview in the Independent with D. J. Taylor (who saw Mosley as “a novelist who is about as unfashionable as it is possible to be”), summed up his long literary career. His critics, both those who admire and those who dislike his work, almost unanimously agree that the “unpopularity” of Mosley in England lies precisely in his endeavor to First Name dramatize an “Idea.” The position of Mosley in contemporary British fiction is well observed by John Naughton in the Listener: Given that the British are inclined to regard abstract theorizing on the human condition as a kind of disease, Mr. Mosley had Last Name better resign himself to charges of pretentiousness—an intellectual vice which is tolerated in foreigners but abhorred in natives. Mr. John Berger has had to live with such criticism in his time—which is perhaps why he now lives happily in the Alps. Address or Location* In England the tag “novel of ideas” is often associated with “unreadability.” “Novel of ideas” is seen as a novel in which ideas, instead of the protagonists, are the “real” characters; thus they are considered uninteresting and inaccessible. When Allan Massie (in his review of Children of Darkness and Light in the Scotsman), an admirer of Mosley, calls Mosley’s main concern “philosophical,” he actually contributes to the unpopularity of Mosley: * = required field Preferred Format [Mosley’s] interests are primarily philosophical.

Janes June 2015 Advisor: Eleanor McNees Author: Jennifer M. Janes Title: British Fascism in the 1930’s in Life and Literature Advisor: Eleanor McNees Degree Date: June 2015 ABSTRACT Political and economic turmoil in 1930s Britain gave rise to a home-grown fascist movement led by the controversial Oswald Mosley. Literature of this period by Joseph O’Neill and Rex Warner mirrored the internal nature of the British fascist movement by depicting fascist-like societies embedded under or entrenched within the English countryside. Their metaphors of fascism rising as a solution to fear and disorder conjure the threat of fascism that was rising in Europe in that period.

  • ABSTRACT Title: Harold Pint.Erls Play with Form
    ABSTRACT Title: Harold Pint.erlsPlay with Form: A Cross-Media Analvsis of His Texts. Degree: Doctor of Philosophy, 1997. Colette Barbara Stoeber Graduate Centre for Study of Drama University of Toronto Harold Pinter has taken fourteen of his twenty-eight dramatic texts through some process of formal adaptation across media: narrative fiction to radio and television; radio to stage and television; television to stage; or stage to film and television. This thesis examines Pinter's perpetual manipulation of form and content and the media through which they are expressed. Moving through a detailed analysis of thirteen of his works and their adaptations, this study examines Pinter's methodology in this process in a more focused and comprehensive manner than has been attempted in Pinter scholarship to this date. Pinter's work is of particular interest in a study of cross-media adaptation, for the self-consciousness of his preoccupation with his own modes of expression combined with his thematic concerns about the control and expression of meaning tie the form and content of his work and the medium through which they are expressed in a very explicit way. Since the medium is so bound to Pinter's meaning, when the medium changes the play's thematics are often significantly altered. This study is organized into chapter headings according to the originally intended medium: narrative fiction, radio, television, and the stage. Each chapter first considers the original texts, focusing particularly on how meaning has been shaped and influenced by the intended mode of expression. I then turn to examine Pinter's manipulation of form and content through adaptation, in the process of which the meaning of the texts will be reconsidered in light of the new medium.

  • Introduction.Pdf
    Introduction Dear Graeme I have read your manuscript with the greatest of interest. You have recorded your experiences in a way that is perhaps not possible in more formal histories, and, while not departing from the authenticity of events, by your personal reactions you have added an outstanding account of the human factors which are ultimately so important.1 In 1963, Second World War veteran Graeme Ogden’s memoir of war- time naval service entered a fast- flowing tide of personal narratives published by British military personnel who had fought in that con- flict. Throughout the seven decades since the end of the Second World War, increasing numbers of these books appeared in print and became cemented into what Graham Dawson identifies as an enduring popu- lar ‘pleasure- culture of war’ in Britain.2 Yet as Rear- Admiral Rupert Sherbrooke’s foreword to Ogden’s My Sea Lady articulates, they also proffer an immense value to the social and cultural historian of warfare. Positioning published veteran memoirs as repositories of vital informa- tion about the ways in which former servicemen remembered, under- stood, and mediated their war, The Veterans’ Tale establishes the unique contribution of post-war published military memoirs to the aggregate of scholarship of modern war and memory. The veterans’ memoirs of the Second World War belong to a lengthy cultural tradition of telling and receiving old soldiers’ stories in Britain. Indeed, when prophesying his soldiers’ creation of memories of Agincourt, William Shakespeare’s ‘Henry V’ sagely observes, ‘Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,/ But 1 Rear-Admiral Rupert Sherbrooke, foreword to Graeme Ogden, My Sea Lady: The Story of H.

    University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: Special Collection Title: British Union Collection Scope: A collection of documents, published and unpublished, relating to the political movements associated with Sir Oswald Mosley - the New Party, the British Union of Fascists (later called the British Union of Fascists and National Socialists, or British Union), and the Union Movement, from the mid-1920s. Dates: c. 1925 onwards Extent: 22 boxes Administrative / biographical history: This Collection has been assembled as support for both research and teaching at the University of Sheffield, principally within the Department of History, on political movements in 20th century Britain. It began with the acquisition of complete sets of The Fascist Quarterly and The British Union Quarterly. Other items, including journals such as Action, The Blackshirt, and Union, and unpublished memoirs of former members of the British Union, together with other related material, have gradually been added. Oswald Ernald Mosley (Sir Oswald on succeeding to the baronetcy as 6th Baronet in 1928) was born into a landed family of Rolleston, Staffordshire in 1896, his father being Sir Oswald Mosley, 5th Bart. After leaving Winchester School at the age of 16 he entered Sandhurst, and following the outbreak of the First World War was commissioned into the 16th Queen’s Light Dragoons, but then applied to join the Royal Flying Corps and was posted to the Front. Back in England to take his pilot’s certificate his leg was injured in a flying accident. He was recalled to his former regiment, but his damaged leg was affected by conditions in the trenches, and he was invalided out of the war in 1916.

  • The Concept of Work in Post-War British Experimental Fiction
    THE CONCEPT OF WORK IN POST-WAR BRITISH EXPERIMENTAL FICTION Christopher Webb Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at University College London Supervised by Dr Julia Jordan September 2018 1 DECLARATION I, Christopher Webb, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 ABSTRACT Despite the emergence of a wide gamut of British experimental writing from the late-1950s through to the mid-1970s, there was a consensus that this particular type of writing constituted a ‘“useless” activity’. This was the conclusion not only amongst the various newspaper critics who frequently criticised the Arts Council for supporting ‘hippy art’, but amongst experimental writers themselves, such as Eva Figes (whose remark this was, used when she described her occupation as a novelist in the Guardian in 1968). The experimental writing of this period is fraught with an anxiety about its own uselessness. This thesis argues that this was symptomatic of a unique period in British literary history when traditional notions about work—and what ‘worked’ in terms of literature—were radically scrutinised and reassessed. The Concept of Work in Post-war British Experimental Writing proposes that only with an understanding of the British avant-garde’s engagement with the idea of work and its various corollaries can we fully appreciate the contribution to the development of the modern British novel during the mid-twentieth-century made by these writers, and to probe some of the reasons for their move away from realism.
