(Hons), P.G.C.E (Physics), B.A. (Hons), M.A. A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University September 2007 © by Melanie Jane Heeley 2007 ABSTRACT This thesis looks at the life and works of Daphne du Maurier in the context of the inter-related ideas of religion, psychology and politics. Throughout, I use a methodology based on the concept of the palimpsest. But I also use theory provided by Jung, Plato and Nietzsche – all of which were known to du Maurier to a greater or lesser degree. Other theory is used occasionally, but only as it suggests itself in the context under consideration. The ideas of ‘Resurrection, Renaissance and Rebirth’ give the thesis a structure and a theme. The interaction of Christianity and Paganism is also examined. Section One, ‘Introduction – Resurrecting Texts/Lives’, introduces the idea of the palimpsest. In reality, this is a twice-written document frequently containing a Christian text which is written over a Pagan one, with the Pagan text resurrecting itself over time. In theory, the palimpsest is a textual space where disparate texts collide and collude in an involuted manner. Section Two, ‘Life and Text – Renaissance Inspired Men’, looks at two men who drew their inspiration from the Renaissance as either age or idea - the socialist Victor Gollancz and the conservative Frank Buchman - and to what degree du Maurier interacted with both the people and their conceptual framework. Section Three, ‘Life into Text – Renaissance Men’, concerns itself with du Maurier’s biographies of two Renaissance brothers, Anthony and Francis Bacon, and how their lives have been read, gnostically, by herself and others, notably The Francis Bacon Society and Nietzsche. Section Four, ‘Spectralised Lives in Text - Rebirthing’, examines how the foregoing discussion plays itself out in two of du Maurier’s novels, Jamaica Inn (1936) and The Flight of the Falcon (1965). The chapter on Jamaica Inn looks at Celtic Revivalism and how the Celtic gods spectralise the characters of the novel leading to a rebirthing experience for the protagonist Mary Yellan – implicit in this is the concept of the Renaissance-as-idea. The chapter on The Flight of the Falcon shows how the Renaissance-as-age daimonises characters of the twentieth-century. The palimpsest as either a document or a theoretical perspective weaves itself in and out of all my chapters. Section Five, ‘Concluding Remarks’, leads to two related conclusions, firstly that du Maurier has been spectralised by the Renaissance, and secondly that du Maurier’s life and works, taken together, can be read as an involuted palimpsest. KEYWORDS Daphne du Maurier, palimpsest, Renaissance, Plato, Jung, Nietzsche, syncretism, esoteric, spectralised.

During such times I have often been heard to say, somewhat melodramatically, “Daphne du Maurier, c’est moi!” This thesis is also dedicated to my parents. I would like to acknowledge a debt of gratitude to my many Supervisors and Directors of Research for all their help, encouragement, intellectual prodding, and support over the years; in chronological order these are Professor Roger Ebbatson, Professor Clare Hanson, Professor John Schad, Dr Nick Freeman, and Dr Gabriel Egan. I would like to express thanks to all those people that answered my e-mails with respect to my thoughts on du Maurier: Sarah Dillon (whose thesis on the palimpsest has been instrumental), Alison Sproston (Deputy Librarian of the London Library), Dick Cole (Mebyon Kernow), Benny Peiser (who knows a lot about Willian Comyns Beaumont), Brent Raycroft (about his ideas on the palimpsest), Josie Dolan (about her thesis on Daphne du Maurier and Anna Neagle), to name but a few (apologies to those I have missed). Thanks also go to the archivists of the collections I have consulted: Charlotte Berry and Jessica Gardener (Exeter University), Richard Temple (Warwick – Modern Records Centre), Lorraine (Special Collections at Manchester in connection with the Basil Dean archives). I am grateful to the organisers of the annual Daphne du Maurier Festival in Fowey, Cornwall, which I have attended for the four years of my study. This has enabled the following activities: • Kits Browning (Daphne du Maurier’s son) showed me round Ferryside (Fowey, Cornwall), and allowed me to see the room where du Maurier wrote The Loving Spirit. • Annual Trip to Bookends of Fowey, which sells du Maurier books and memorabilia. Ann and David Willmore - who own Bookends and Bookends Too - have always been lovely to chat to about du Maurier topics. • I have met many du Maurier enthusiasts; special mention goes to Sam, a kindly gentleman whose surname escapes me, and Amber Larner. Page iv I am also pleased to have attended the Daphne du Maurier Centenary Conference (2007) – organised by Professor Helen Taylor and her colleagues at Exeter University - where I met many of the published du Maurier critics. I owe thanks to Loughborough University for the bursary which financed the first three years of my study. I also owe thanks to the Arthur Quiller Couch Memorial Fund for awarding me a travel grant which paid for one of my visits to the Du Maurier Family Archives at Exeter University - an award which was made following their reading of my chapter on Jamaica Inn. My parents have also been more than generous with their financial assistance, supply of food parcels, and emotional support. The years of my doctorate were the two best and then the two worst years of my life. I am thankful for the former and will emerge from the latter into a totally different life.

  • Rebecca” (A Psychological Study of Literature)

This essay discusses a psychological study in Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis theory. Rebecca is a very psychological novel, since a lot of psychological phenomena emerges from the beginning to the end of the novel. Psychological phenomena found in the novel among other things are dream analysis, Narcissist complex, Cinderella complex, Electra complex, impulsive id, ego, and super ego, cathexis, as well as various types of ego defense mechanism. Each character within the novel such as Rebecca, Maxim de Winter, Maxim’s second wife, and Mrs. Danvers, have his or her psychological characteristics, reaction, and problem. Dream in the beginning and the burning Manderley house at the end of the story are symbol of the ultimate psychological phenomena in the novel Rebecca. Keywords: Dream analysis, ego defense mechanism, Rebecca, id- ego-super ego, psychological complex. The presence of psychology has given much influence on literature and literary criticism. The relationship between literature and psychology commonly derives from psychological dimension in literary works and the application of psychology theory in interpreting literary texts. Literary work inherently implies elements of psychology that establish the whole content of literary work.

  • Cornishness and Englishness: Nested Identities Or Incompatible Ideologies?
    CORNISHNESS AND ENGLISHNESS: NESTED IDENTITIES OR INCOMPATIBLE IDEOLOGIES? Bernard Deacon (International Journal of Regional and Local History 5.2 (2009), pp.9-29) In 2007 I suggested in the pages of this journal that the history of English regional identities may prove to be ‘in practice elusive and insubstantial’.1 Not long after those words were written a history of the north east of England was published by its Centre for Regional History. Pursuing the question of whether the north east was a coherent and self-conscious region over the longue durée, the editors found a ‘very fragile history of an incoherent and barely self-conscious region’ with a sense of regional identity that only really appeared in the second half of the twentieth century.2 If the north east, widely regarded as the most coherent English region, lacks a historical identity then it is likely to be even more illusory in other regions. Although rigorously testing the past existence of a regional discourse and finding it wanting, Green and Pollard’s book also reminds us that history is not just about scientific accounts of the past. They recognise that history itself is ‘an important element in the construction of the region … Memory of the past is deployed, selectively and creatively, as one means of imagining it … We choose the history we want, to show the kind of region we want to be’.3 In the north east that choice has seemingly crystallised around a narrative of industrialization focused on the coalfield and the gradual imposition of a Tyneside hegemony over the centuries following 1650.

  • Britishness, What It Is and What It Could Be, Is
    COUNTY, NATION, ETHNIC GROUP? THE SHAPING OF THE CORNISH IDENTITY Bernard Deacon If English regionalism is the dog that never barked then English regional history has in recent years been barely able to raise much more than a whimper.1 Regional history in Britain enjoyed its heyday between the late 1970s and late1990s but now looks increasingly threadbare when contrasted with the work of regional geographers. Like geographers, in earlier times regional historians busied themselves with two activities. First, they set out to describe social processes and structures at a regional level. The region, it was claimed, was the most convenient container for studying ‘patterns of historical development across large tracts of the English countryside’ and understanding the interconnections between social, economic, political, demographic and administrative history, enabling the researcher to transcend both the hyper-specialization of ‘national’ historical studies and the parochial and inward-looking gaze of English local history.2 Second, and occurring in parallel, was a search for the best boundaries within which to pursue this multi-disciplinary quest. Although he explicitly rejected the concept of region on the grounds that it was impossible comprehensively to define the term, in many ways the work of Charles Phythian-Adams was the culmination of this process of categorization. Phythian-Adams proposed a series of cultural provinces, supra-county entities based on watersheds and river basins, as broad containers for human activity in the early modern period. Within these, ‘local societies’ linked together communities or localities via networks of kinship and lineage. 3 But regions are not just convenient containers for academic analysis.
