  • 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.

  • The Just William Series of Books Was Born Richmal Crompton Lamburn in 1890
    PEPYS JUST WILLIAM CARD GAME Comments about the cards in the game Richmal Crompton who wrote the Just William series of books was born Richmal Crompton Lamburn in 1890. She was the daughter of a clergyman and became a schoolmistress in 1914. She gave up teaching because she had begun to write part time in 1919 and was successful, so she decided to make it her full time job. She was very active in the Women’s Suffrage movement. Unfortunately she contracted poliomyelitis in 1923 and as a result she lost all use of her left leg and became confined to a wheelchair. She never married. The very first William story was published in Home Magazine and was entitled “Rice Mould Pudding”. The books about William were very popular and she wrote a total of 38 in all. Her other books also sold well and she wrote 41 adult novels, which she considered to be her main work, and another 9 books of short stories. All the William series were collections of short stories and they sold over 12 million copies in the UK alone. The illustrator of the William books was Thomas Henry Fisher (known as Thomas Henry) who illustrated Richmal Crompton’s books from 1919. Strangely, he never met her until 1954. He was also well known for his cartoons for Punch and London Opinion from 1945 to 1952. The very popular radio series of 1948 was broadcast on Children’s Hour by the BBC with David Spenser playing William and the stuck up Hubert Lane played by Charles Hawtry.

The loveable imp and his band of Outlaws have been harassing his unfortunate family and delighting hundreds of thousands of readers for years. Here, William invents a water race where competitors have to run with a mouth full of water, without swallowing it or spitting it out. It's just a shame he doesn't have time to think before speaking to (and drenching!) Mrs. Adolphus Crane during the race! "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

  • In the Time of King Arthur
    In the Time of King Arthur Arthurian legend refers to a body of medieval literature whose principal subject is the exploits of Arthur, a sixth century British king who fought to protect Britain from fierce Germanic tribes. Originally concerned with the history of Arthur and the "Matter of Britain," the legend developed into a more literary than purely historic form during the Middle Ages, incorporating elements of Celtic myth and medieval chivalry. By the twelfth century, Arthurian legend had become established in the literature of France, Germany, Italy, and other countries resulting in a great diversity of Arthurian characters, themes and motifs. Scholars divide Arthurian legend into two broadly overlapping domains, the "pseudo-historical Arthur" and Arthurian romance. The historical aspect of Arthurian legend developed chiefly in the British Isles. There Arthur's name is mentioned in conjunction with a number of battles in chronicles and poems that elaborate on the theme of Arthur as a heroic warrior king. Many latter chronicles that present a glorified portrayal of Arthur transgress historical fact, but in so doing, introduce new motifs such as the Isle of Avalon, the figure of Merlin, and the sword Exalibur. The flowering of Arthurian romance occurred in France during the late twelfth century. The numerous verse romances consolidate many of the legend's best known features: the romance of Lancelot and Guinevere, Sir Gawain as a model of noble conduct, and the quest for the mysterious Holy Grail. These romances shifted attention away from Arthur toward his illustrious knights of the round table. By the thirteenth century, Arthurian romances shift the treatment of the material from verse to prose.

Severely disabled by Still’s disease, Rosemary was home- schooled by her mother, and in the process was introduced to Celtic and Saxon legends. Having been a painter of miniatures, in 1946 she began to write for publication, retelling legends that her mother had introduced her to as a young child. With well over 40 books to her credit, Rosemary Sutcliff is now universally considered one of the finest writers of historical novels for children and adults. Her first novel, The Queen Elizabeth Story was published in 1950. In 1959 she won the prestigious Carnegie Medal with The Lantern Bearers, and in 1972 Tristan and Iseult was runner-up. Her version of the story of Arthur, Sword at Sunset, for adults, was top of the bestseller list in the UK. 3 In 1978 Song for a Dark Queen won the Other Award for radical women’s fiction. A major film adaptation of The Eagle of the Ninth, starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell, was released in 2011, under the title ‘The Eagle’. In 1975, she was awarded the OBE (Order of the British Empire) for services to Children’s Literature. She was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the year of her death.

  • Malory Revisited: from Caxton to Steinbeck1
    MALORY REVISITED: FROM CAXTON TO STEINBECK1 Malory's work is, after Chaucer's, the most popular literary work from the Middle Ages that has been present among generations of readers for more than five centuries. The theme I want to address in this paper is closely relat- ed to the nature of Malory's work as a compiler, adapter, abridger, condenser, rearranger, or translator --whatever the reader prefers to call him. But I am not going to discuss Malory's own efforts, success and failures in his task with the "Frensshe bookes" and his debated "originality", something that has been done with great proficiency by many scholars since the nineteenth cent- ury.2 My aim here is much more modest and can be described as an attempt to situate Malory's work in the context of its reception throughout the centur- ies, and particularly during the 20th century, when a new Malory has emerged as a consequence of the editions of his work. Because, as Larry Benson said more than thirty years ago now (Benson, 1968: 81), Malory's work is "a critical 'discovery' of the twentieth century", or as D. S. Brewer also wrote in 1970, alluding to Benson's statement (Brewer, 1970: 83): "The work of the last twenty years is greater than that of the preceding half millenium". The nature of Malory's work itself is controversial, as is well known; and as the reader may have noticed, I have been referring to Malory's work in singular, in the general sense of an author's oeuvre, thus avoiding the men- 1 This paper was written as a response to Professor Patricia Shaw's invitation to par- ticipate in the 8th International Conference of Selim, that took place at the University of Castellón in September 1995.
