Ellen Murphy
No full textEllen was born to Margaret Burns and Patrick Gilroy in Ireland. Ellen and Patrick were listed as passengers on the Glamis, which left Plymouth on 22 March 1883 and arrived in Adelaide on 11 June. Ellen was listed as a domestic and Patrick a labourer. On 17 January 1890 it was reported in the newspaper that "Mr. B. Murphy, of the Katherine, is now on his way overland to Adelaide for a much needed rest." It was during this visit that Bernard met and married Ellen Gilroy. Bernard Murphy, accompanied by his new wife, arrived back in the Northern Territory on the steamer Chingtu on 4 September 1890. They settled in Katherine where Bernard had managed the Pioneer Cash Store and a hotel. The licence to the Sportsman Hotel was transferred to Bernard in November 1890 and he was still managing it in 1893 when his licence was renewed. His licence to slaughter at Katherine, Mount Gates and Maude Creek was also renewed in 1893. They moved to Pine Creek following some financial difficulties relating to Bernard's investments. In September 1893 Bernard was declared insolvent and had estate assigned to James Twinem in trust for the benefit of his creditors. In 1895, at the age of 27, Ellen became one of the 82 Territory women who enrolled to vote after the franchise was granted to South Australian and Territory women in 1894. Ellen enrolled at The Union and listed her profession as "married woman."By late 1895 they had moved to Geraldton, Western Australia, where Bernard started a blacksmith and wheelwright business, followed by hotels at Day Dawn, Reidy's Find and Murchison. At Murchison he established an orchard and market garden. Bernard also owned a sheep station known as Innisfail. They retired to Perth after having successfully worked the sheep station for some years. They had three children: Mary May born on 28 May 1892 and Thomas Patrick on 20 Feb 1894, both born in Palmerston, and Eileen Mary whose birth was registered in Geraldton in 1897. Ellen was widowed on 29 August 1927 when Bernard died, aged 72, as a result of being knocked down while riding his bicycle. He was laid to rest at Karrakatta Cemetery. Ellen died on 10 August 1948 at Leederville.PioneerIris

The Narrative Paradoxes in Ellen Kushnerʼs Thomas the Rhymer
No full textIn the past few decades, the similarities between postmodern novels and fantasy novels have been attracting considerable critical attention. Lance Olsen, who argues that deconstruction is at work in both, has gone on to propose the term "postmodern fantasy." The question that arises then is whether all fantasy novels that are characterized by postmodern narrative strategies can be categorized as postmodern novels. With the aim of shedding light on this question, I have taken up Ellen Kushner's historical fantasy novel Thomas the Rhymer (1990) for a case study and have analyzed its plot and narrative. This novel employs postmodern narrative strategies, such as intertextuality, a complex Chinese-box narrative structure, and metafiction. Its metafictionality, the most important feature of postmodern fiction, is evident from the fact that the worldviews presented at the plot level go against those presented at the narrative level. For instance, Gavin, the narrator of Part 1, criticizes the protagonist Thomas's style of sprinkling facts with fiction; at the same time, Gavin's narration itself plainly tends to blur the boundaries between facts and fiction. In a similar vein, the plot of Part 2 presents an ontological assumption that truth devoid of language can and does exist, whereas in terms of metafiction, the reader is given to understand that the fairy world is an allegory of a literary text, and hence that "reality" is nothing other than a construct of language. Unwittingly or not, the author fails to reconcile these contradictions within the text, and stays at the plot level throughout, as if to imply that Thomas's growth into "True Thomas," a clairvoyant who cannot tell a lie, conveniently settles the whole question. Consequently, despite its postmodern strategies, Thomas the Rhymer falls short of being a postmodern novel. Rather, these strategies engender the impression of artificiality, only to weaken the force of fantasy.departmental bulletin pape
