  • The Aeneid with Rabbits
    The Aeneid with Rabbits: Children's Fantasy as Modern Epic by Hannah Parry A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Acknowledgements Sincere thanks are owed to Geoff Miles and Harry Ricketts, for their insightful supervision of this thesis. Thanks to Geoff also for his previous supervision of my MA thesis and of the 489 Research Paper which began my academic interest in tracking modern fantasy back to classical epic. He must be thoroughly sick of reading drafts of my writing by now, but has never once showed it, and has always been helpful, enthusiastic and kind. For talking to me about Tolkien, Old English and Old Norse, lending me a whole box of books, and inviting me to spend countless Wednesday evenings at their house with the Norse Reading Group, I would like to thank Christine Franzen and Robert Easting. I'd also like to thank the English department staff and postgraduates of Victoria University of Wellington, for their interest and support throughout, and for being some of the nicest people it has been my privilege to meet. Victoria University of Wellington provided financial support for this thesis through the Victoria University Doctoral Scholarship, for which I am very grateful. For access to letters, notebooks and manuscripts pertaining to Rosemary Sutcliff, Philip Pullman, and C.S. Lewis, I would like to thank the Seven Stories National Centre for Children's Books in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Oxford University. Finally, thanks to my parents, William and Lynette Parry, for fostering my love of books, and to my sister, Sarah Parry, for her patience, intelligence, insight, and many terrific conversations about all things literary and fantastical.

    FREE WARRIOR SCARLET PDF Rosemary Sutcliff,Charles Keeping | 40 pages | 01 Jan 1995 | Farrar, Straus & Giroux Inc | 9780374482442 | English | New York, United States Warrior Scarlet - Wikipedia Warrior scarlet, p. Warrior Scarlet, page 1. Drem must kill a wolf single handed. But how can he do this with his spear arm withered and useless? It is a description that could stand, without much alteration, for Homeric Greece; and that, I think, is the secret of the magic. Far rougher and more primitive than the Greek, of course, but a Heroic Age, all the same, though the heroes are forgotten. But this story is not about Kings or heroes or battles not even a Heroic Age could be all heroes and fighting and there Warrior Scarlet no chariots in it, because when I came to write it down, I found that although the Golden People had ponies, it was the next wave of invaders who brought chariot warfare into Britain. It is the story of a boy Warrior Scarlet Drem, who lived with his Tribe on what is now the South Downs, nine hundred years before the birth of Christ. His land and his people were not cut off from the rest of the world; the Baltic amber and blue Egyptian beads that the archaeologists find today in Bronze Age grave mounds show that clearly Warrior Scarlet. But probably he never heard much of what went on in the world beyond his own hunting runs; a world in which Troy had fallen three hundred years ago, and Egypt was already past its greatest days, and a hollow among the hills by the ford of a rather muddy river had still more than a hundred years to wait before wild Latin herdsmen pitched their tents there and founded Rome.

  • “Swan Song”: a Fitting Culmination of the Rosemary Sutcliff Legacy?
    Sword Song as her “Swan Song”: A Fitting Culmination of the Rosemary Sutcliff Legacy? Barbara Carman Garner Carleton University, Ottawa The novel that Rosemary Sutcliff was revising when she died suddenly on July 23, 1992 at the age of 72 was to have been called The Sword Song of Bjarni Sigurdson. 1 Sutcliff had seen the manuscript through two-thirds of the second draft of her traditional three -draft writing process before making a fair copy (Meek 62 qtd. in Garside-Neville). Sutcliff’s cousin and godson, Anthony Lawton, transcribed the draft, and Sutcliff’s long-time editor, Jill Black, did the final editing of Lawton’s transcription. Sword Song was published in 1997. Early reviews of the novel were mixed. Sandra Johnson’s review in The (London) Times considered the opening a “stunner,” explaining that “a 16- year old boy is exiled from his settlement.” She continued, “Regrettably, the story quavers thereafter, meandering around the coast of Britain as young Bjarni sells his fighting skills to one fiery-beardy after another, but the dense historical detail and rich colours are all still there” (n. pag.). Compare this assessment with The Horn Book reviewer’s high praise for the novel: “Sutcliff’s careful handling of how a young man, influenced by hero-worship and the force of custom, deals with the difficult choices that lead to maturity is nothing short of masterly. An unexpected and most welcome gift”(n.pag.). 1 Today I aim to convince you of the validity of yet another reviewer’s comment, that “Sword Song is a fitting capstone to Sutcliff’s marvelous career as one of Britain’s premier authors of Historical fiction” (jacket hard cover edition).

  • "By My Spirit"
    "BY MY SPIRIT" BY THE REV. JONATHAN GOFORTH, D.D. MARSHALL, MORGAN & SCOTT, LTD. l..oNDON AND EDINBURGH Printed in Great Britain by Hunt, Barnard & Co., Ltd~, London and Aylesbury, PREFACE A MISSIONARY of the Canadian Presbyterian Church, Dr. Jonathan Goforth, has, for a long period of years, been stationed in Manchuria, China, and during his ministry there has been wonderfully used of God, not only in declaring the incomparable message of a Saviour's redeeming love, but also in the inauguration of Revival movements which have brought rich and abiding blessing upon the Church and its members. For a number of years p1essure has been brought to bear upon him to write an account of his Revival experiences in the hope that these might have a message for the whole Church of Christ and point the way to that spiritual quicken­ ing of which it is so much in need . But while realising the importance of making known to all the world the great things which the Lord has done for His people· in China, Dr. Goforth has felt that the preaching of the Gospel had first claim upon his time, and to that urgent task he devoted himself with a zeal and an energy that left no opportunity for other pursuits. Recently, 1'owever, a change of circumstances gave to him the opening for which he had been waiting. Laid aside from preaching for several months, and having his youngest son, Frederick, with him on a visit, he PREFACE dictated to him the substance of this volume, and thus at last the thrilling record of the mighty move­ ments of the Holy Spirit has been prepared for press.
