This month’s competition prize is a personally signed copy of Gunter Herbig’s CD (pictured) Issue 33 August 2019 3 Last month I had a whirlwind tour of Munich, Prague and Krakow before settling for a week in Cologne. The conference in July in Poland allowed me to experience a KMS event first-hand and was a special treat and the icing on the cake for a travelling ‘Kiwi’ in Europe. My visit to Krakow was always going to be a highlight, especially performing at the Dom Polonii tenement building, dated 1373. I visited many galleries and churches in Germany and experienced the fabulous Lobkowicz Palace and river cruise in Prague. Within various crypts of the cathedrals and churches I saw many precious relics, the significance of which was often lost in the OTT casings of gold. A quick trip to Holland and Belgium was enhanced by visits to old friends and some new friends, but my attempt to visit my great uncle’s war grave was thwarted when I left my passport in Germany and had no identification to hire a car. Surely an excuse to come north again in 2020 or 2021! In this issue of the newsletter we have two reports from the conference in Krakow, one by Anna Lawattanatrakul (page 4) and another by Ruth de la Touche (page 8). Gerri Kimber continues her series of book reviews, this time volume three- of-five in the series ‘The Edinburgh History of Women’s Periodical Culture in Britain’ on page 11. Here critical eyes are cast over Murry’s posthumous expropriation of his wife’s writing. For your reading pleasure we have included my own article on Mary Hope Allen (page 16). Also we have a continuation of Richard Cappuccio’s ‘footnotes’ (page 22) series with a look at the relationship of KM and Edward Marsh, including an investigation into the disintegration of the Blue Review periodical. ‘There goes Eve Balfour’ by Ian St George and Martin O’Connor (page 27) gives a tantalizing glimpse into the career of a London-based New Zealand silent movie star. Although Eve Balfour was only a bit player in the life of Katherine Mansfield, one wonders about the possibilities of the reverse: a scenario in which KM is an ‘extra’ to Balfour’s silent diva. Was KM in the movies? It seems we are going to keep waiting for an answer to this question! Lastly, Judith Hendra takes a look into the not-so-pulp world of American fiction and the complex character that is Francis Carco (for Hendra’s article turn to page 31). Finally, please take note of the various announcements concerning upcoming events including the Annual Birthday Lecture in October. I trust you enjoy the change of seasons and take a good book or two on your holidays! Martin Griffiths, Editor We are delighted to announce that Jane Chapman is the winner of our competition and the recipient of Alice Petersen’s book of short stories Worldly Goods. Congratulations to Jane who correctly identified the Blue Review as the title that succeeded Rhythm in 1913. To enter our next competition answer the following: In what year was Bliss and Other Stories first published? The winner will receive a copy of Gunter Herbig’s CD ‘Ex- Oriente: Music by G. I. Gurdjieff.’ E ntries to [email protected] 1 Issue 33 August 2019 4 Report: 2019 International Katherine Mansfield ConferenCe, Krakow by Anna Lawattanatrakul The city of Krakow spreads itself out on the bank of the Vistula River, which one can see from the top of Wawel Hill and stroll on a path along it. At the heart of its historic centre is the Rynek Główny, the main market square dating from medieval times and supposedly the largest market square in Europe, now populated with tourists, street Touring the Collegium Maius performers, stalls selling brightly coloured flowers, and in its centre is the Sukiennice, or the Cloth Hall, a major trade centre during the Renaissance. And on a side street in a corner of the square is the Collegium Maius, the Jagiellonian University’s oldest building dating back to at least the 14th century. Once containing a library, lecture spaces, and professors’ quarters, it is now a museum, and it was where the 2019 Katherine Mansfield Conference opened on 5 July. Before the conference opening, delegates were treated to a tour of the museum, which the University had very kindly closed to all visitors but conference delegates on the morning of 5 July. We then gathered in the historic assembly hall, surrounded by portraits of the University’s illustrious alumni, where the conference was officially opened by Her Excellency Mary Thurston, the Ambassador for New Zealand to Poland, and Prof. Dr. Wojciech Nowak, Rector of the Jagiellonian University. Titled “Katherine Mansfield: Inspirations and Influences,” the conference was hosted by the Institute of English Studies, Jagiellonian University and supported by Catholic University in Ružomberok, Slovakia, Trnava University, Slovakia, the New Janka Kascakova & Rishona Zimring in Assembly Hall Zealand Embassy, 2 Issue 33 August 2019 5 Warsaw, and the University of Northampton, UK, and organized by Dr Janka Kascakova, Catholic University in Ružomberok, Slovakia, Dr Gerri Kimber, University of Northampton, UK, and Dr Władysław Witalisz, Institute of English Studies, Jagiellonian University, Krakow. It saw scholars from almost every continent coming together to present works on all that inspired Mansfield’s works and on Mansfield’s legacy, along with several non-speaking attendees. Back in the assembly hall, Kirsty Gunn, the KM Society’s recently-appointed patron, gave the conference’s first keynote. Titled “On Being Chased By a Bull: Imagination, Writing and the Rush of the Short Story,” Gathering in the courtyard of Collegium Maius Kirsty’s talk explored imagination, the process of writing fiction, the role of memory and dream, and the influence of her time in New Zealand on Mansfield’s writing. After a brief break, we returned to the assembly hall for our first panel, which saw two papers on book reviews and Mansfield’s legacy. We then embarked on a tour of the city, during which our guide, Paulina, introduced us to Krakow’s architectural wonders, along with the city’s gruesome tales, including that of the dragon under Wawel Castle and a piece of bone (which, despite the stories, was not from the said dragon) hanging by the gate of the Wawel Cathedral. Legend has it that if this bone falls from the chains, the world is going to end. We were also told tales of a princess who drowned herself to escape marriage, an artist who liked to collect torture instruments, and the legend of a man who murdered his own brother while they competed to build the two towers of St Mary’s Basilica. (Also, legend has it that a Cello and piano concert at Dom Polonii king once made a deal with a witch, who turned all his knights into pigeons, which is why they are so many of them around Krakow.) After the tour, we had a few hours to spare before re-convening at the Dom Polonii to hear a concert by Martin Griffiths, cellist extraordinaire and our newsletter editor, and pianist Rachael Hughes-Griffiths, who blew everyone 3 Issue 33 August 2019 6 away with her rendition of the Allegro Moderato from Henryk Pachulski’s Sonata in C minor Op.10. The programme consisted of music that influenced Mansfield – she was a music lover until the end of her life – pieces she would have known and loved, and some she had played herself, the technical demand of which is as close to a proof we can get of how skilled Mansfield was as a musician. For the next two days, we migrated to the Collegium Paderevianum, the site of the Institute of English Studies. Our first panel of the day saw two paper on Mansfield and Alice Munro and one on Mansfield, Daphne du Maurier, Shirley Jackson, and the Gothic short stories. Another panel saw three papers on how Mansfield’s experience with war, violence, and illness influenced her writing. Elyse Blankley’s paper in particular opened the door to new areas of research into the relationship between Mansfield and Leonard Woolf, which often gets side- lined as research focuses on the friendship/rivalry between Mansfield and Virginia Woolf. (As a side note: the schedule had two panels on at the same time, and they were all so fascinating, it was heartbreaking to have to choose.) Then we saw two more panels, one on Mansfield and the colonial and another on Mansfield’s modernism and the domestic, before we headed off to lunch before returning for the conference’s second keynote.

  • MAX BEERBOHM AS a LITERARY CRITIC by BEVERLY JOAN
    MAX BEERBOHM AS A LITERARY CRITIC by BEVERLY JOAN NORBY B.A., University of British Columbia, 1949 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October, 1967 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and Study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by h.i>s representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of ENGLISH The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date October, 1967 ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis has been to define Max Beerbohm's critical literary principles, to evaluate his con• tribution to aesthetic criticism and thereby to determine his place in the critical tradition. The methods of investi• gation have been: to study the formative influences on the development of his critical principles and to evaluate the results of their application in Max's essays and dramatic criticisms. From this study it is evident that as a man and as an artist Max was "formed" during the Eighteen-nineties. By nature he was an intellectual dandy who always preferred strong, narrow creative personalities like himself. He was detached, fastidious, witty, and humane, and he was noted for his wisdom and sound common sense, even as a very young man.

  • Introduction the Fighting Nineties: the Age of the Critical Function
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-10974-2 - Literature and the Politics of Post-Victorian Decadence Kristin Mahoney Excerpt More information Introduction The Fighting Nineties: The Age of the Critical Function In December 1928, the Leicester Galleries hosted an exhibition of the works of Max Beerbohm titled “Ghosts.” The exhibition included caricatures of Oscar Wilde, Lord Queensberry, John Lane, Walter Pater, Henry Harland, and Aubrey Beardsley. In the exhibition catalog, Beerbohm characteristi- cally apologizes for his own anachronism, feigning embarrassment at the irrelevance of his work to the modern moment. He lives in Italy now, he notes, and it’s very hard to keep up: “So very many people with faces and figures unknown to me have meanwhile become famous that I have abandoned all hope of being ‘topical.’”1 Nevertheless, he suggests that per- haps the visitors to the gallery won’t mind “looking at some people who flourished in past days.”2 He first addresses his fellow specters from the Victorian era: “Those of you who are as old as – or almost (and even that is saying much) as old as I – will perhaps like to have the chords of memory struck by the drawings on these walls.”3 But he continues to suggest that “eventheyoung...mayconceivablyfeelaslightthrill”whilecontemplat- ing the “ghosts” in the gallery.4 “I have noticed,” he writes, “that the young in this era have what those in my own era hadn’t: a not unfriendly interest in the more or less immediate past.”5 This “not unfriendly interest” in the late-Victorian period had been on the rise since the publication of Holbrook Jackson’s well-received The Eighteen-Nineties in 1913.

He was educated at Charterhouse and Merton College, Oxford. He was a critic, essayist and caricaturist. He contributed to the famous Yellow Book while still an undergraduate at Oxford. As a half brother of the actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Max was a brilliant dramatic critic of the Saturday Review from 1898 to 1910, succeeding George Bernard Shaw. In 1910 he married an American actress, Florence Kahn and went to live in Rapallo, Italy (except for the duration of the two World Wars). A charming, witty, and elegant man, Beerbohm was a brilliant parodist and the master of a polished prose style. His works include A Christmas Garland (1912), a collection of parodies on such authors as Joseph Conrad and Thomas Hardy; Zuleika Dobson (1911), an amusing satire on Oxford; Seven Men (1919), stories; and And Even Now (1920) and Mainly on the Air (1947), essays. Beerbohm was accomplished at drawing, and he published several volumes of excellent caricatures, including The Poet’s Corner (1904) and Rossetti and His Circle (1922). He was knighted in 1939 on his return from Italy, where he had lived from 1910.

  • Tigullio Itineraries
    IV TIGULLIO ITINERARIES When all France (after the war) was teething and tittering, and busy, oh BUSY , there was ONE temple of QUIET . There was one refuge of the eternal calm that is no longer in the Christian religion. There was one place where you could take your mind and have it sluiced clean, like you can get in the Gulf of Tigullio on a June day on a bathing raft with the sun on the lantern sails. EP on Brancusi’s studio (“Brancusi” 307) Desmond Chute, Portrait of Ezra Pound, Rapallo 1929. 24 TIGULLIO ITINERARIES : EZRA POUND AND FRIENDS Massimo Bacigalupo Rapallo in Brief Tigullio is the name of the gulf at the center of which is Rapallo, limited by Portofino to the south-west and Sestri Levante to the east. Ezra Pound mentions the Tigullio with affection several times in The Cantos , recalling for example a comment by W. B. Yeats during one of their walks: “Sligo in heaven” murmured uncle William when the mist finally settled down on Tigullio. (77/493) The implication is that Yeats, being a man of Irish mists by birth and inclination, was most enthusiastic about the Tigullio when he got to see it on a misty day. On the other hand, EP was very much a sun-worshipper, in Venice, then at Lake Garda and finally in Rapallo. The name Tigullio also recurs in the final lines of canto 116, which is as close as EP ever got to writing a finale to The Cantos . The history of Rapallo goes back to the first century A.D., th ough the oldest remains that have been preserved date from circa 1200 (the ruins of the monasteries of San Tommaso and Valle Christi in the valley behind the town).

  • Kipling's Poems
    E.M. Forster and the Legacy of Aestheticism: “Kipling’s Poems” (1909) and Forster’s Dialogue with Max Beerbohm Margaret D. Stetz University of Delaware Abstract E.M. Forster’s 1909 lecture on Rudyard Kipling’s poetry was a key document in his devel- opment as a critic. He used this talk as an occasion to re-examine his relationship to the “Art-for-Art’s-Sake” principles of the late-Victorian Aesthetic Movement, which contin- ued to guide influential contemporaries such as the artist and author, Max Beerbohm, with whom Forster had both personal and professional connections. Distinguishing his own responses to Kipling from those of Beerbohm, as expressed through the latter’s savagely satirical visual works, was a necessary step in Forster’s forging of an individual voice for the modern age. But despite Forster’s wish always to avoid labels and to escape being identified with inflexible positions, he turned in his later years to open advocacy of Art for Art’s Sake. Keywords: E.M. Forster, Max Beerbohm, Rudyard Kipling, Aestheticism, Modernism 240 Margaret D. Stetz In a tribute to E.M. Forster that appeared in the 5 June 2020 issue of the Times Liter- ary Supplement (UK) in the midst of a global pandemic, Robert Douglas-Fairhurst has spoken of him as the champion of those who wish to evade lockdowns of one kind or another: “Nearly every character we are asked to admire in his fiction is trying to escape from something: the unforgiving grip of the past, or the hollow rituals of conven- tion, or the geographical boundaries and social limitations of England” (2020, 10).
