Utjecaj grčke tragedije na Drum Song: An Indian Trilogy Gwen Pharis Ringwood
Get PDFGwen Pharis Ringwood (1910–1984) is one of the most eminent Canadian playwrights of the 20th century. In her drama Drum Song: An Indian Trilogy which consists of three parts: Maya (Lament for Harmonica, 1959), The Stranger (1971) and The Furies (1981) the author implements her knowledge of First Nations’ traditions and customs. Moreover, it is “in the lives of the Indian tribes [that] Gwen Ringwood had found an elemental struggle for survival that has produced conflicts comparable with those of Greek tragedy” (Perkyns 330). Such conflicts and elements characteristic of Greek tragedy find their place in this trilogy as well. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to analyse those elements, examine their function, the way and form in which they are presented in the trilogy. Keywords: Canada, drama, First Nations, Gwen Ringwood, tradition, tragedy, trilog

Thirteen Fables of Aesop
No full textThis is the kind of booklet for which this collection was made! 4 x 6½. The thirteen verse fables first appeared in the Merthyr Express in Wales. The morals tend to berate modern machines and moneyed interests. The turns of phrase are sometimes colloquial and specific to the context, as in these lines from The Old Lady and her Maids: /Said parlour-maid to tweenie:/She thinks she's Mussolini;/Those who mock/Get a shock;/Let's go out and kill the cock!/I would guess that not many copies of this lovely little pamphlet were made. The same author wrote Thirteen Sonnets and Thirteen Epigrams.Done into Verse, with original Morals, by Ivor Gwen
Gwen Raverat : Friends, Family and Affections
No full textPublished in hardback by the Harvill Press in both England and America and in paperback in 2003 by Pimlico. Widely reviewed in the national press, including The Observer (‘this sympathetic, fastidious and beautiful produced biography’, Robert McCrum), The Times (‘Frances Spalding is attempting what might be called genetic biography, in which a certain species, ie. The Darwins, is tracked through its evolutionary progress’, Peter Ackroyd), The Independent (‘meticulous and evocative biography’, Patricia Craig), The Guardian (‘authoritative’, Alfred Hickling), The Spectator, The New Statesman, TLS, London Review of Books, Print Quarterly and others. While following the life and work of Gwen Raverat (nee Darwin) and of her husband the painter Jacques Raverat, it uncovered new material about the networks operative in late Victorian and Edwardian Cambridge and told for the first time the story of Jacques Raverat’s decline owing to multiple sclerosis, bringing to the study a careful analysis of the historical understanding of that illness. Extensively furnished from primary sources within the massive Darwin Archive, housed in Cambridge University Library, it mounted the first full biographical account of the Raverats and of their circle. Designed and printed at the Libanus Press, author, publisher and printer agreed on a layout that banished captions to a list at the back of the book. Though this format offended some, the book was widely praised for its high standard of design and presentation and led to invitations to lecture to the Friends of Cambridge University Library, at the Ways with Words Festival at Dartington and elsewhere
