The Hidden Mary Chamberlain AUSTRALIA APRIL 2019 The Hidden Mary Chamberlain A powerful novel of passion and guilt, silence and memory. Description Dora Simon is comfortable in her retirement, indulging her interests in gardening and music. Joe O'Cleary is content on the Jersey farm he helped rebuild with its owner, Geoffrey Laurent, with time to pursue his life-long hobby of birdwatching. But their worlds are shattered by the arrival of Barbara Hummel, a young German anxious to track down the identity of a mysterious woman whose photograph she found among her mother's possessions. Forced to resurrect long-buried secrets, and confront a past they never thought they would revisit, Dora and Joe's lives unravel and entwine - in shocking and surprising ways. Trapped in the Channel Islands under the German occupation in the Second World War, Dora, a Jewish refugee, conceals her identity; Joe, a Catholic priest, conceals a secret. The consequences of the lies both are forced to live are as unexpected as they are devastating. This is a heart rending and provocative story of love and betrayal, shame and survival, casting light into the forgotten or unknown shadows of war.

She is the author of non-fiction books on women's history and Caribbean history including Fenwomen, the first book published by Virago Press.

I’m sure this is true for most people as well. I was seven or eight years old when I first read a children’s edition of Walter Scott’s ‘Ivanhoe’, heavily abridged and generously illustrated. Even then I was vaguely aware that this was different from the books I had been reading, different from fairy tales and stories of talking animals and children having adventures while on camping holidays.

"Nothing has happened, nothing was told since 1914, that General Spiridovich did not foresee, foretell and repeat a hundred times with the fiery, passionate stubbornnesss, which is the distinguishing quality of the seers and prophets," ("L'Information," in Paris, on December 27, 1915) . "So Count Spiridovich prophesied exactly ten years ago. Few prophets have been more thoroughly justified than he . Today is the tenth anniversary of an astounding prophecy of his, which appeared on our pages, Dec . 19, 1908," (The Editor of the "Daily Graphic" on Dec . 19, 1918) .

  • The Gumdigger's Wife and Speaking the Truth Through Love: Historical
    1 The Gumdigger’s Wife and Speaking the Truth through Love: Historical Life, Fiction, and Faith Christel Jeffs A thesis/exegesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Creative Writing 2014 School of Language and Culture 2 Contents Pages: Abstract……………………………………………………………………………..3 Attestation of Authorship…………………………………………………………...4 Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………………5 Thesis………………………………………………………………………………. 6-218 Exegesis………………………………………………………………………… 219-238 References……………………………………………………………………… 239-241 3 Abstract The Gumdigger’s Wife is a work of historical fiction, set in the early twentieth century at the peak of the kauri gum industry in New Zealand. Emmalina, a letter bride from Dalmatia, and Johan, a gumdigging migrant from the same country, enter an arranged marriage under personal circumstances which cast doubt over their relationship’s chance of success. Their story and struggle could be summarized in the following question: can a marriage built on obligation, secrecy and distrust be pieced together? The Gumdigger’s Wife is about the journey of the characters to find that answer. As well as considering the discrimination against the Dalmatian race, this creative writing thesis focuses on issues of duplicity, forgiveness and the desire to atone for past wrongs. It is also about Emmalina’s journey of discovering the flawed, yet authentic and profound, love of another human being. The exegesis then comments on the process of writing such a work, particularly in terms of the genre in which I have chosen to write and how my personal beliefs have factored into the work. First I observe the genre of the historical novel and its concern of reflecting truth within fiction; then I consider the extent to which moral/religious influences can appear in a novel without becoming didacticism.

  • La Rappresentazione Della Grande Guerra Nella Letteratura Inglese Contemporanea
    Università degli Studi di Trento Dipartimento di Lettere e filosofia Dottorato di ricerca in Le forme del testo – XXXI ciclo Curriculum in Linguistica, Filologia e Critica TESI DI DOTTORATO DI RICERCA La rappresentazione della Grande Guerra nella letteratura inglese contemporanea. Candidato: Michele Peroni Relatrice: prof.ssa Francesca Di Blasio Anno accademico 2017-2018 Ringraziamenti Al termine di questo percorso di ricerca ritengo doveroso ringraziare le persone che hanno contribuito, in diversa maniera, alla maturazione delle idee contenute in questa tesi e alla stesura vera e propria. Un ringraziamento speciale va ad Ann-Marie Einhaus, per aver risolto degli impedimenti burocratici e aver reso possibile un soggiorno di ricerca presso la Northumbria University a Newcastle Upon Tyne: i consigli e i suggerimenti ricevuti durante quel periodo sono stati decisivi per sviluppare alcune parti di questo lavoro. Ringrazio anche Ann-Marie Foster, per avermi guidato all'interno dell'università durante i miei primi giorni e per avermi fatto conoscere Newcastle e il North East. Il soggiorno inglese non sarebbe stato altrettanto utile e piacevole senza di loro. A Fulvio Ferrari sono riconoscente per avermi messo in contatto con Stefano Giorgianni dell'Associazione Italiana Studi Tolkieniani, questo mi ha permesso di presentare per la prima volta la mia ricerca a una conferenza. Claudia Demattè mi ha gentilmente invitato a parlare di memoria e guerra ai suoi studenti di laurea magistrale, il primo capitolo di questa tesi nasce dalle riflessioni fatte durante la preparazione di quelle lezioni. Alcune considerazioni contenute nel terzo capitolo sono state discusse con Carla Locatelli all'interno di un seminario sulla teoria letteraria, a lei sono grato anche per alcuni stimolanti suggerimenti bibliografici.

INTRODUCTION: REWORKING WALTER SCOTT Daniel Cook and Lucy Wood In two years’ time, on the fifteenth of August 2021, Walter Scott turns 250. Edinburgh, the world’s first designated UNESCO City of Literature, will lead the celebrations with a series of public events and publications in honour of one of Scotland’s most noteworthy authors. In a sense, this work of commemoration began long ago. Waverley, Edinburgh’s main railway station, remains the only station on the planet to take its name from a literary character—in this case the eponymous hero of Scott’s first novel. Near the station stands the Scott Monument, the world’s tallest shrine to an author, in which Scott and his beloved hound Maida have been regally rendered in thirty tons of Carrara marble. They’ve been sitting there, in Princes Street Gardens, overlooking countless passers-by, since the 1840s, barely a decade after the writer’s death.
