Essays considering the representation and perception of hell in a
variety of texts. Narratives of a descent to the underworld, of the
sights to be seen and the punishments meted out there, have kept a
hold on the popular imagination for millennia. The legacy from
doctrinal warnings and the deep-set literary markers that identify
a place of suffering and alienation continue to stimulate creative
exchange and critical thinking. Such work takes risks: it braves
the dark and questions the past. The contributions in this volume
reflect on the exigency of hell in the stories that we tell. They
consider the transfer and repurposing of motifs across genres and
generational divides, and acknowledge the sustained immediacy of
physical and psychological landscapes of hell. The essays span a
wide chronological range and apply various contemporary critical
approaches, including cognitive science, performance studies and
narratology. This cross-period analysis is complemented by
interviews with three creative practitioners: Jeya Ayadurai,
director of "Hell's Museum" in Singapore, the actor Lisa Dwan, who
is acclaimed for her dramatisation of Samuel Beckett's late works,
and the writer David Almond. From ancient myth and early English
sermons to mid-twentieth-century surrealism and current responses
to terrorist activities and environmental damage, the literature of
hell engages with issues of immediate relevance and asks its
audiences to reflect on their cultural history, the meaning of
social justice and the nature of embodied existence.
When Madeleine L'Engle was very small, she marvelled at the stars.
They guided her throughout her life, making her feel part of a big
and exciting world, even when she felt alone. They made her want to
ask big questions - Why are we here? What is my place in the
universe? - and let her imagination take flight. Books, too, were
like stars - asking questions and proposing answers. Books kept
Madeleine company, and soon, she began to write and share her own.
But would other people see the wonder she found in the world?
Set in 1920's England, Airswimming is based on the true story of
two women (Miss Kitson and Miss Baker), who have been incarcerated
in a hospital for the "criminally insane" for having borne
illegitimate children. Forgotten by their families and not released
until the 1970's, Dora and Persephone adopt alter-egos, Dorph and
Porph, to enact their fantasies and survive the silence of
incarceration.2 women
The real represents to my perception the things that we cannot
possibly not know, sooner or later, in one way or another', wrote
Henry James in 1907. This description, riven with double negatives,
hesitation, and uncertainty, encapsulates the epistemological
difficulties of realism, for underlying its narrative and
descriptive apparatus as an aesthetic mode lies a philosophical
quandary. What grounds the 'real' of the realist novel? What kind
of perception is required to validate the experience of reality?
How does the realist novel represent the difficulty of knowing?
What comes to the fore in James's account, as in so many, is how
the forms of realism are constituted by a relation to unknowing,
absence, and ineffability. Realism, Form, and Representation in the
Edwardian Novel recovers a neglected literary history centred on
the intricate relationship between fictional representation and
philosophical commitment. It asks how-or if-we can conceptualize
realist novels when the objects of their representational
intentions are realities that might exist beyond what is
empirically verifiable by sense data or analytically verifiable by
logic, and are thus irreducible to conceptual schemes or linguistic
practices-a formulation Charlotte Jones refers to as 'synthetic
realism'. In new readings of Edwardian novels including Conrad's
Nostromo and The Secret Agent, Wells's Tono-Bungay, and Ford's The
Good Soldier, this volume revises and reconsiders key elements of
realist novel theory-metaphor and metonymy; character interiority;
the insignificant detail; omniscient narration and free indirect
discourse; causal linearity-to uncover the representational
strategies by which realist writers grapple with the recalcitrance
of reality as a referential anchor, and seek to give form to the
force, opacity, and uncertain scope of realities that may lie
beyond the material. In restoring a metaphysical dimension to the
realist novel's imaginary, Realism, Form, and Representation in the
Edwardian Novel offers a new conceptualization of realism both
within early twentieth-century literary culture and as a
transhistorical mode of representation.
Jamie's adventure begins with his summer holiday at Aunt Jane's
Flamingo Pink cottage and the 'Twist of a Key' in an old wooden
Grandfather's Clock. He can't believe he is faced with the
'Challenge of Chime' or the doom that will come if he does not
complete all the challenges ahead of him successfully. Jamie
delights in meeting his new friends especially the Time-Keeper who
explains how he is the 'Chosen Guest' in their Enchanted Land. The
evil Time-Taker has quite a different plan and is determined to see
Jamie fail his mission. He plots to take the Crown of Cogs from the
Time-Keeper and will not tolerate any child getting in his way.
