Cantab. ) Thesis presented for the degree of Ph. D. UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK, School of Comparative Literature. August 1978 r' CONTENTS Page PREFACE CHAPTER 1: Brooke, Wells, Hulme. 1 CHAPTER 2: Peguy, Barbusse, Vache. 45 CHAPTER 3: Cocteau, Aldington, Proust. 101 CHAPTER 4: Owen. 156 CHAPTER 5: Apollinaire. 225 CHAPTER 6: Jones. 272 Bibliography. 332 SUMMARY This thesis proposes a comparative study of some imaginative responses to the Great War in English and French writing. The principal works discussed range from Peguy's anticipation of the war in his poem Eve (1913) to David Jones's recreative memory of it in his poem In Parenthesis (1937). The survey is limited to British and French works, and does not include American and colonial contributions, or the war-writings of other combatant countries.. The thesis examines the various ways in which twelve authors - six English and six French - developed and ex- pressed their individual response to the Great War. It is not based on an imaginary anthology of the dozen best war-writings. The twelve examples have been chosen to illustrate and cover as wide a range as possible of the ways the historical experience could be met and interpreted in literature. They include writings by civilians, and by commissioned and non-commissioned soldiers; narrative and discursive prose, essays, letters, and verse. The first chapter considers the war-writings of Rupert Brooke, H. G. Wells and T. E. Hulme; and the second chapter discusses the work of Charles Peguy, Henri Barbusse and Jacques Vache. Chapter 3 is concerned with three novels, by Jean Cocteau, Richard Aldington, and Proust. In the second half of the work, a chapter each is given to Wilfred Owen, Guillaume Apollinaire and David Jones. War-writings by definition include history, and even those most innocent of a propaganda intention are likely to betray an interpretation of history, as well as having some documentary value and, at a less visible level, enacting a private drama. The literature of the Great War, considered as a sub-genre, is the product both of shared and of individual, intimate experience. The purpose of this study has been to suggest the variety of possible literary responses to the Great War; to discover what these responses are likely to have in common, and thus to offer a sketch-map of the topography of the 1914-1918 war in English and French writing; and, by locating these works in a context of European literature as well as of world history, to allow each text discussed reciprocally to illuminate and criticise the others. PREFACE Beird byt barnant wyr o gallon. (The bards of the world assess the men of valour. 1 This is a comparative study of some imaginative responses to the Great War in English and French writing. To illustrate ways in which writers tried to describe and understand the European war of 1914 - the first great historical crisis of this century -I have chosen twelve examples of war-writing to examine, ranging in time from Peguy's Eve, which was published in the year before the war began, to David Jones's In Parenthesis, published nineteen years after it ended. I have not attempted any account of the literature of the other combatant countries. But even in only two languages - and ignoring the colonial and American contributions - so wide is the area to be prospected that this study can be only a series of soundings, which suggest rather than quantify the resources of the field of investigation. The twelve examples - six English and six French - have been chosen to illustrate and cover as wide a range as possible of English and French war-writing. They include writings by civilians, and by commissioned and non-commissioned soldiers; narrative and discursive prose, essays, letters, and verse, written by the apologists of pacifism and militarism and by those - the majority - who, with various degrees of discomfort, were neither. The twelve differ almost as much in literary competence as they do in tone and politics. The main purpose of this study, then, is to suggest the variety of possible literary responses to the Great War, and by so doing, to offer a sketch-map of the topography of the war in English and French literature. 11 Insofar as it. origi, nates in a shared historical experience, and in various ways celebrates that experience, war-writing may be classified as a kind of occasional literature. But those who wrote about that occasion interpreted it in such different ways that it is sometimes difficult to remember that they were writing about the same historical event. In away, of course, they were not; and this study is an account of twelve different Great Wars. The subjects have been selected in the belief that each casts an interesting light on the work of all the others. The choice certainly does not represent an imaginary anthology of the dozen best war-writings. No account of the literature of the Great War which does not deal directly with - to choose almost at random - Giono, Rosenberg, Dorgeles and Ford Madox Ford (not to mention writers of other than British and French nationality) could lay even the most eccentric claim to such canonicism. Partly for that reason, this study is principally descriptive, and is not primarily concerned with comparative literary-evaluation; although an examination of David Jones's In Parenthesis is set as the conclusion of the survey, in the belief that that poem is the most valuable as well as the most inclusive of war-writings in either language. The authors whose war-writings are considered here are: Rupert Brooke, H. G. Wells, T. E. Hulme; Charles Peguy, Henri Barbusse, Jacques Vache; 'Jean Cocteau, Richard Aldington, Marcel Proust; Wilfred Owen; Guillaume Apollinaire; David Jones. 111 Chapter 1 examines three English writers, Chapter 2 three French. These two chapters are formally symmetrical. The first part of each deals with an anticipatory poetic formulation of the war. Peguy and Rupert Brooke had no means of knowing what the Great War would be like. The interest of their war-writings lies particularly in the way each adapts traditional literary resources to describe, proleptically, the war they expect to experience. The middle sections of Chapters 1 and 2 each examine a popular war-novel published in 1916 -. one by H. G. Wells, one by Henri Barbusse - each in its way an interpretation of the war written from a political point of view. Both could be described as dramatised propaganda. Barbusse's international socialism and Wells's liberal ameliorism predated the war, but were both severely tested by events. These two novels are attempts to adapt and reconcile two systems of belief to an unpleasant historical fact. Like so many writings of the Great War, both attempt to juggle with documentary, propaganda and aesthetic intentions. The final parts of the first two chapters deal with writers - T. E., Hulme and Jacques Vache - of less intrinsic aesthetic interest, but who both played important parts in the creation of some ofthe main trends of postwar literature in England and France. The war-writings of Hulme and Vache, incongruous figures, look forward to aspects of European modernism, in the shaping of which the 1914 war was such a critical element. Chapter 3 broadens the scope of the survey by considering fictional treatments of the Great War in iv works by Cocteau, Aldington and Proust. Cocteau and Aldington are especially concerned with the variations which the war brought about in sexual and generational politics. Aldington and Proust are prepared to advance bolder interpretations, and to see the war as a particu- larly visible and brutal dramatisation of general patterns of experience which are, however, independent of it. Proust, of course, is only a war-writer by historical accident; but in this respect his difference from other war-writers' is only one of degree. In the second half of this survey, a chapter each is devoted to three of the most important writers of the Great War - Wilfred Owen, Apollinaire, and David Jones. Superficially at least, there would seem to be a polar difference between the war-writings of Owen and Apollinaire, in almost every respect. For this reason, and because of the richness of the available evidence (particularly the two poets' letters), I have drawn on a good deal of biographical material in my attempt to understand the war-writings of these two poets. A biographical approach to David Jones's In Parenthesis would have to rely, at present, on much scantier documen- tation, and, because of the impersonality of the work, would, not, I think, be pertinent. So the study of In Parenthesis in Chapter 6, when it does refer outwards from the text, refers mainly to Jones's other published writings, and to the war-writings of others. From a psychological, historical and literary point of view, we are fortunate in having so much information about the V war-records of Owen and Apollinaire. These records are reciprocally illuminating and reciprocally critical. If they seem antithetic, the distance between them may be measured, if not bridged, by the mediate example of In Parenthesis.

  • Discovering Rupert Brooke Grantchester Dymock
    Just after their 21st wedding anniversary, for the first time since Christmas, David Maxwell Fyfe managed to get back to London to be with his wife and their family for a weekend over Easter. It was an extremely welcome reunion, as it was two months since they had been together, when Sylvia visited him in Nuremberg, and the time spent apart was growing more difficult for them both as there was still no clear end in sight for the trial. David Maxwell Fyfe 11th April 1946 Keitel is finished and Kaltenbrunner has ‘taken the stand’ I have nothing to do with him and am hoping violently that the Americans will do a good job. Ernst Kaltenbrunner was the highest-ranking member of the SS to face trial at Nuremberg. As Chief of the Main Security Office from 1943 - 45 he answered to Heinrich Himmler, overseeing a period in which persecution of Jews intensified. He is considered a major perpetrator of the Holocaust during the final years of the war. David Maxwell Fyfe 11th April 1946 I cannot realise that I am going to get home a week from today. It will be absolutely marvellous. Sylvia Maxwell Fyfe 14th April 1946 If it is any pleasure to you to know this is the first year out of 21 that I have not enjoyed. It ought to make you rather conceited if that were possible. Anyway I shall adore my Easter - and all things come to an end - even Nuremberg trials I suppose though I confess I sometimes doubt it. There was very little let up from the relentless strain of the trial, now in its’ sixth month, or genuine relaxation in the company of his equally tired work colleagues.

  • Prostitution in Bristol and Nantes, 1750-1815: a Comparative Study
    Prostitution in Bristol and Nantes, 1750-1815: A comparative study Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy at the University of Leicester Marion Pluskota Centre for Urban History University of Leicester July 2011 Abstract This thesis is centred on prostitution in Nantes and Bristol, two port cities in France and England, between 1750 and 1815. The objectives of this research are fourfold: first, to understand the socio-economic characteristics of prostitution in these two port cities. Secondly, it aims to identify the similarities and the differences between Nantes and Bristol in the treatment of prostitution and in the evolution of mentalités by highlighting the local responses to prostitution. The third objective is to analyse the network of prostitution, in other words the relations prostitutes had with their family, the tenants of public houses, the lodging-keepers and the agents of the law to demonstrate if the women were living in a state of dependency. Finally, the geography of prostitution and its evolution between 1750 and 1815 is studied and put into perspective with the socio- economic context of the different districts to explain the spatial distribution of prostitutes in these two port cities. The methodology used relies on a comparative approach based on a vast corpus of archives, which notably includes judicial archives and newspapers. Qualitative and quantitative research allows the construction of relational databases, which highlight similar patterns of prostitution in both cities. When data is missing and a strict comparison between Nantes and Bristol is made impossible, extrapolations and comparisons with studies on different cities are used to draw subsequent conclusions.

  • In Search of God: the Lost Horizon in Rupert Brooke's Poetry
    In Search of God: The Lost Horizon in Rupert Brooke’s Poetry Mohamed Ahmed Mustafa Al-Laithy (Ph.D.) Assistant Professor of English Al-Imam Muhammad Bin Sad Islamic University Riyadh Saudi Arabia I The British poet Rupert Brooke (1887-1915) is one of the poets who should be reread and reassessed. Brooke‟s reputation as a poet has been very much apt to doubt and controversies by admirers and detractors alike. Unlike many other poets, Brooke prospered greatly as a poet when he was only twenty. At his time, he was a “poetic…model” (Willdhardt, 49). Unlike the majority of poets, again, shortly after his death at the age of twenty eight, his reputation declined drastically and his poetry was vehemently criticised, attacked and undervalued. This makes of Brooke a unique phenomenon worthy of rereading and reassessment. Indeed, what happened with Brooke as a poet is exactly the opposite of what usually happens with poets during their lifetimes and after their deaths. One can just think of such poets as John Keats (1795-1821)and Alfred Tennyson (1809-92) and Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) who were severely attacked during their lifetimes, but were explored and championed after their deaths. Ever since the 1920s and the 1930s of the past century, Brooke‟s name as a poet has been diminishing, and almost vanishing, indeed. There seems to have been a general consent among writers and critics of one generation after another either to mention the poet askance, undervalue his poetic contribution, or else to ignore him totally. To give one example, The Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry, one of the most prestigious, referential anthologies in English, mentions nothing at all about Brooke or his poetry.

  • RUPERT BROOKE 1887-1915 the Soldier
    http://www.englishworld2011.info/ BROOKE: THE SOLDIER / 1955 but thirteen or so / I went into a golden land, / Chimporazo, Cotopaxi / Took me by the hand"). Sometimes the magical note was authentic, as in many of Walter de la Mare's poems, and sometimes the meditative strain was original and impressive, as in Edward Thomas's poetry. But as World War I went on, with more and more poets killed and the survivors increasingly disillusioned, the whole world on which the Georgian imagination rested came to appear unreal. A patriotic poem such as Rupert Brooke's "The Soldier" became a ridiculous anachronism in the face of the realities of trench warfare, and the even more blatantly patriotic note sounded by other Geor- gian poems (as in John Freeman's "Happy Is England Now," which claimed that "there's not a nobleness of heart, hand, brain / But shines the purer; happiest is England now / In those that fight") seemed obscene. The savage ironies of Siegfried Sassoon's war poems and the combination of pity and irony in Wilfred Owen's work portrayed a world undreamed of in the golden years from 1910 to 1914. World War I left throughout Europe a sense that the bases of civilization had been destroyed, that all traditional values had been wiped out. We see this sense reflected in the years immediately after the war in different ways in, for example, T. S. Eliot's Waste Land and Aldous Huxley's early fiction. But the poets who wrote during the war most directly reflected the impact of the war experience.

    Chakraborti-3823-Ch-01:Chakraborti-3823-Ch-01.QXP 12/1/2008 4:10 PM Page 1 1 UNDERSTANDING HATE CRIME Chapter summary Hate crime is a relatively well-established term within American scholarship but it has a much shorter history within the UK. While hate crime encompasses numer - ous themes that have formed a central feature of contemporary social scientific enquiry, including marginalisation, victimisation and difference, attempts to examine these themes through the conceptual lens of hate have been in compar - atively short supply. To some extent this is not altogether surprising as the ‘main - streaming’ of hate crime within academic and political circles in the UK has occurred only recently, but it would appear that the term has been widely adopted without there being any definitive clarity on its actual meaning. This chapter seeks to develop a clear conceptual understanding of hate crime by examining a variety of influential academic and official definitions put for - ward in recent years. It also outlines the legal framework that underpins hate crime and summarises what have been identified as the core characteristics of hate offending and victimisation. Through the course of this discussion, we shall see that understanding hate crime is a far from straightforward task due to the ambiguity associated with the concept. Introduction Hate crime is a term that has assumed increasing salience within academic, polit - ical and social discourse in the UK over the past decade. Although the forms of ‘othering’ that we now collectively refer to as hate crime have been long-standing problems in this country, it is only relatively recently that the expression ‘hate crime’ has emerged within our vernacular.
