The Dandy and the Herald: Manners, Mind and Morals from Brummell to Durrell

Literature & Fiction

History & Criticism

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This new study of one of Ireland's greatest writers lays particular stress upon his Irish background. Pine is interested in Wilde the outsider. He was an outsider not simply because of his homosexuality but also because of the particular nature of his Irish background. The Wildes were not only Protestants in a country which was growing more aggressively Catholic: they were also Protestant supporters of Irish nationalism. Thus they were in one sense outsiders by religion while in another outsiders within their own religious community. Wilde was profoundly influenced by this ambiguous inheritance and Pine argues that it was this, as much as his homosexuality, which placed him at such an awkward angle to late Victorian society.

In this second volume of his study of the Anglo-Irish novelist Lawrence Durrell (following the appearance in 1988 of The Dandy and the Herald: Manners, Mind and Morals from Brummell to Durrell Richard Pine examines in detail Durrell's unique contribution to the development of the modern novel, concentrating in particular on the evidence of Durrell's private notebooks and diaries. Pine's twenty-year friendship with Burrell has resulted in an intimate portrait of a singular mind whose extraordinary career, both as a writer and as a British colonial official, is hallmarked by the creation of 'the Heraldic Universe', an imaginative realm within which the artist reigns supreme.

Lawrence Durrell: The Mindscape

British & Irish

The official Anais Nin literary journal. This issue contains the early correspondence between Anais Nin and the agent who would help propel her to long-sought fame, Gunther Stuhlmann. The letters reveal the seeming hopelessness of Nin's quest for wide readership in the late fifties and early sixties, with descriptions of the mighty yet vain efforts to land an important American publisher. Twelve contributors--Richard Pine, Javant Biarujia, Toyoko Yamamoto, Katrin Burtschell, Karl Orend, Sarah King, Nabila Marzouk, James Clawson, Shyamal Bagchee, Jane Keller, Candace Fertile, and Pamela Francis--offer insightful and informative essays, poetry, and book reviews. Included in Vol. 3 are articles concerning Nin's two great literary allies in Paris, Henry Miller and Lawrence Durrell, and a look at the life of one of Nin's most enigmatic muses, June, Miller's wife. The journal has an associated web site and online discussion group.

Community & Culture

This is a biography of the music critic and commentator, chronicling his family's history over 300 years at Kilmacurragh in County Wicklow (now a celebrated arboretum in the care of the State), and his work for "The Irish Times" over thirty years (1955-88). There is a comprehensive view of his Irish background, his education in England at Rugby and Cambridge and his career in Dublin. Beginning with the rich source material of Acton family papers (a detailed tenant record of Kilmacurragh estate, for example) and correspondence (to his mother and others), the book goes on to elaborate in fascinating detail the cultural framework of his milieu in broadcasting for RTE and in music with the Royal Irish Academy of Music, of which he was governor and eventually vice-president. He was one of only two critics outside Britain to gain entry to the Critics' Circle. His was a unique voice that helped to shape Ireland's musical culture.
