However, he lived in Czechoslovakia only until 1939, when his family moved to Singapore. Stoppard, his mother, and his older brother were evacuated to India shortly before the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941; his father, Eugene Straussler, remained behind and was killed. In 1946, Stoppard's mother, Martha, married British army officer Kenneth Stoppard and the family moved to England, eventually settling in Bristol. Stoppard left school at the age of seventeen and began working as a journalist, first with the Western Daily Press (1954-58) and then with the Bristol Evening World (1958-60).

The metaphor of the text as a tract of land has been cited by other commentators on copyright history but has not been examined closely. Working through a series of writings on imitation and derivative use, the article shows how the metaphor seemed initially to provide an ideal basis for demanding stronger copyright protection and for policing piracy and derivative uses more aggressively, but turned out, in some writ- ers’ hands, to offer yet another means of portraying the literary marketplace as endlessly expansive.

  • 1 News and Comic Affairs the Audience Reception of British
    News and Comic Affairs The audience reception of British Television Political Comedy 1962-2012 Matthew Crowder Royal Holloway, University of London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Media Arts April 2015 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Matthew Crowder, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. This thesis has not been submitted for a degree, either in the same or different form, to this or any other University. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis researches the reception of British television political comedy from 1962 to 2012, exploring the continuities and contrasts in viewers’ definitions, interpretations and evaluations of the genre. Television comedy scholarship has privileged the text but this first in-depth study of British political comedy conceptualises television genre as a cultural category, and adopts the method of qualitative historical reception research to explore the different ways that viewers have written about the genre. Political comedy's reception is dominated by discourses of power, and the genre’s comedic references to news and current affairs are consistently invoked in accounts of its effects upon everyday life. The research highlights viewers’ emotive responses in four case studies that place pleasure and displeasure, cultural distinctions, and social affiliations in their historical contexts, arguing that judgments about political comedy’s value, meaning and social effects are related to hierarchies of aesthetics and taste, and their relationship to public issues defined as socially significant. The chapter on That Was The Week That Was discusses beliefs that irreverent comedy could affect British institutions.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Chocolate and Cuckoo Clocks the Essential Alan Coren by Alan Coren a Connoisseur of Naffness
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Chocolate And Cuckoo Clocks The Essential Alan Coren by Alan Coren A connoisseur of naffness. W hen I was really quite young, my parents thought it would be a good idea, for some reason, to pop a paperback of Alan Coren's The Sanity Inspector in my Christmas stocking. Not the first thing you'd think of giving a 13-year-old, perhaps; but it turned out to be an inspired choice, and by New Year's day I thought that Coren was the funniest writer on earth. This was before I read Thurber or Wodehouse or any of the other stylists from whom Coren had obviously learned a thing or two. So I was a little wary when this book turned up; would he still be as funny as I found him all those years ago? I am pleased to report that, despite an introduction by the Coren children so toe-curling that you will have to see a chiropodist after reading it (Victoria's contributions are OK, but Giles's . ), his writing holds up very well. On the whole. It's interesting to chart his development: the Corenesque note is present early, but only makes fitful appearances; it was in the 1970s that he settled into the mode which made his name. (Although, strictly speaking, it was his bestselling spoof diaries of Idi Amin that made his name; a few of those entries are reprinted here, for the historical record. They are unreadable now. Pass them by.) The early pieces here, perhaps over- represented when you consider how he developed, can look like throat-clearing before the main act; and there was something about the 70s that really suited Coren.
