  • Characters and Characterisation in Durrell's the Alexandria Quartet
    CHARACTERS AND CHARACTERISATION IN DURRELL'S THE ALEXANDRIA QUARTET Dr. Anna Pratt When The Alexandria Quartet appeared in the late fifties (Justine 1957; Balthazar 1958; Mountolive 1958; Clea 1960) it was given a very mixed reception. Some critics were enthusiastic, making sometimes exaggerated claims for Durrell's originality and greatness; others were more sceptical. George Steiner for instance praised the richness of Durrell's style, saying : "No one else writing in English today has a comparable command of the light and music of language ... Who is to say ... that The Alexandria Quartetwill not lead to a 1 renascence of prose" ? ( ) , while Angus Wilson disagreed, claiming that "Durrell's aims are magnificent, but his execution is often slipshod and pretentious, and the language floridly vul­ 2 gar" . ( ) It is interesting to note that Durrell's most severe critics tended to be British, and his popularity was much greater in America and on the Continent than in his own country. Dur­ rell's biographer, G.S. Fraser, says that the prevailing view in England was that the Alexan­ dria Quartet "is a most impressive but in some ways flawed or imperfect work, extraordinarily 3 vivid, but too rich, too gaudy" . ( ) A similar difference of opinion can be noticed in critical comments on Durrell's methods of characterisation and his ability to create convincing characters. Here again, most British critics were not impressed by characters in The Quartet . The following quotations illustrate the dominant attitude : "For the most part the characters in these novels remain flat surfaces . .. they never become three-dimensional figures ..

    INFORMATION TO USERS This malarial was producad from a microfilm copy of tha original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, tha quality is heavily dependant upon tha quality of tha original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from tha document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing paga(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pagas to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an imaga on die film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that tha photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus causa a blurred image. You w ill find a good image o f tha page in the adjacent frame. 3. Whan a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed tha photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" tha material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper le ft hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from le ft to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that tha textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be mads from "photographs" if essential to tha understanding of tha dissertation.

  • Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet
    8 A Quartet that is a Quartet: Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet Just as the term “symphony” denotes both an orchestra and the form of work performed by an orchestra, so the musical term “quartet” denotes both “a composition for four solo performers” and the four performers themselves. The technical term for the quartet form is “sonata,” which “refers to the structure of an individual movement” within a work, rather than “the overall form of a multi-movement work.”1 Unlike other literary works (such as The Raj Quartet, which merely has four parts, Tolstoy’s “Kreutzer Sonata,” which is merely named for the sonata performed by a character in the work, or the movie Intermezzo, which has no relationship to music form, Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet is indeed a literary application of the musical sonata (quartet) form. Durrell’s letters to Henry Miller indicate that he had given a great deal of thought to the application of the musical quartet form to litera- ture. In September, 1937, Miller suggested to Durrell the idea of creating a quartet of writers—Alfred Perlés, William Saroyan, Durrell, and him- self.2 Years later Durrell wrote to Miller that he had supplied the title for Eliot’s “Four Quartets.” By calling the work a quartet, he indicates that he is aware that a work with four movements may be called a “quartet.” Also by suggesting the title “Four Quartets” (in the plural) rather than simply “Quartet,” Durrell shows that he is aware that “quartet” refers to a movement rather than a complete work.

MEENA GRACE Assistant Professor, Dept. of English & Humanities, Anil Neerukonda Institute of Technology and Sciences ( ANITS), Sangivalasa, Bheemunipatnam Mandal, Visakhapatnam District. email : [email protected] ABSTRACT Lawrence Durrell's Mountolive, the third volume of his most famous literary work The Alexandria Quartet is a document of Durrell's personal experiences in Alexandria, Egypt. The title 'Alexandria' refers to the historical city and the 'Quartet' to the musical pattern of the four novels – Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive and Clea which combine together like a symphony. The Alexandria Quartet reflects experiences in his love life, diplomatic life and his career. It was during the war years in Egypt, Durrell conceived the idea of writing The Alexandria Quartet. As head of the Information Office in Alexandria in 1943 Durrell was close to Egypt's diplomatic affairs with Britain and his third novel Mountolive is laid against this political background. The Egypt which Durrell re-creates in his novel is one already re-shaped following the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936.
