Jonathan Emmesedi<p>I am now going to drink tea and read a short story by Somerset Maugham, for whom I think the designation "first rate second rate writer" was originally coined. Then I'll go to bed!</p><p>Image: W. Somerset Maugham, photo by Paul Thompson -- Wikimedia Commons -- Public domain</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/WSomersetMaugham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WSomersetMaugham</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishLiterature</span></a> <br><a href="https://c.im/tags/ShortStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStory</span></a></p>
Jonathan Emmesedi<p>I want to grapple more with D.H. Lawrence, in particular "The Rainbow" and "Women in Love". </p><p>I've read both but came away puzzled and dissatisfied. What did I miss? I've been nagged by a feeling for years that my inadequacies as a reader have obscured important themes from me. I don't have much time to do unrelated to work rereading, but I do have a hunch that understanding these two works will better my understanding of both my country and myself past and present.</p><p>Lawrence's reputation has never fully recovered from the attack mounted on his work by Kate Millett in the 1970 "Sexual Politics". Feminist scholarship following Millett contributed to the supersession of the Leavisite criticism that had championed Lawrence as the heir to the "Great Tradition" of moral seriousness in English literature, and that critical approach withered not only intellectually, but also institutionally as British literature and humanities departments came more and more under the sway of US academia's priorities and values; what place for Lawrence's rainswept reflections on the burdens of class in Britain on a sunny, tech infused Californian campus? Pointing to Lawrence in New Mexico or Australia just feels desperate...</p><p>My reading, however, is informed but not determined by what's in favor (note the spelling) in departments of literature. Kate Millett might have hated "Lady Chatterley's Lover", but I have found it a rich source not just for thinking about sex and gender but also language, class, technology, and disability in interwar Britain . I hope that a reread of "The Rainbow" and "Women in Love" will prove similarly rewarding.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/DHLawrence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DHLawrence</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheRainbow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheRainbow</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WomenInLove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInLove</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LadyChatterleysLover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LadyChatterleysLover</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EnglishLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnglishLiterature</span></a> </p><p>Image: D H Lawrence in 1921 -- Wikimedia Commons -- Public domain.</p>
Jonathan Emmesedi<p>🧵 3/4</p><p>Nels Abbey, the director of The Black Writers Guild would like to see the curriculum enhanced with “the excellent work of Black British writers” rightly noting that such works would be attuned to students growing up in modern multicultural Britain, a society quite different from the USA of the Great Depression. Frustratingly, instead of naming any specific works from modern multicultural Britain, he then recommends “The Autobiography of Malcolm X”, the life story of an American born a century ago.<br> <br>I know that just over ten years ago the Tory education secretary Michael Gove expressed dissatisfaction with the assignment of “Of Mice and Men” and urged that students be asked to read works by British authors instead. Although I am not entirely unsympathetic to the claim that British students should have to engage with British literature, I also think that Abbey’s point matters; students should be reading at least one significant work by a British author from a racial or ethnic minority. That requirement would not, of course, preclude the reading of works by authors from other parts of the English speaking world.</p><p>But what are those books by minority Britons that are at once valuable and teachable? I’d love to know.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/OfMiceAndMen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OfMiceAndMen</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GCSEEnglishLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GCSEEnglishLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BlackBritishWriters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackBritishWriters</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/06/of-mice-and-men-steinbeck-syllabus-gcse-wales-culture-war" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/commentisfree/</span><span class="invisible">2025/jan/06/of-mice-and-men-steinbeck-syllabus-gcse-wales-culture-war</span></a></p>

Georgiana Brummell<p>*Updated.*<br>Hello. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app). I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter, but I stop short of using singular they and promoting the idea of more than two sexes, though you can certainly lean more towards one while being the other (as I do being a masculine woman), or change from one to the other via hormones, surgery etc. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.</p><p>I am happily childfree and am not religious. I hardly ever write about politics. I tend to get along better with people older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, loneliness, etc. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, antiques, and interesting life stories.</p><p>This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.</p><p>dandylover1.dreamwidth.org</p><p><a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=antipolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow

Jonathan Emmesedi<p>Joseph Wright of Derby -- Maria and her Dog Silvio -- oil on canvas -- illustrating Sterne's 'Sentimental Journey'. The model was Mrs Richard Bassano. I W.pinxt, 1781 -- Derby Museum and Art Gallery -- Public domain.</p><p>I've just finished "A Sentimental Journey". Charming work, half novel, half travel literature, all infused with both a playful flirtatiousness and an irony that can leave the reader guessing yet not frustrated. The Maria episode that comes towards the end of the book and was foreshadowed in "Tristram Shandy" captured the imagination of readers and artists. </p><p>>>When we had got within half a league of Moulines, at a little opening in the road leading to a thicket, I discovered poor Maria sitting under a poplar. She was sitting with her elbow in her lap, and her head leaning on one side within her hand:—a small brook ran at the foot of the tree...</p><p>She was dress’d in white, and much as my friend described her, except that her hair hung loose, which before was twisted within a silk net.—She had superadded likewise to her jacket, a pale green riband, which fell across her shoulder to the waist; at the end of which hung her pipe.</p><p>Her goat had been as faithless as her lover; and she had got a little dog in lieu of him, which she had kept tied by a string to her girdle: as I looked at her dog, she drew him towards her with the string.—“Thou shalt not leave me, Sylvio,” said she.<<</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/LaurenceSterne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaurenceSterne</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ASentimentalJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASentimentalJourney</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/JosephWright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JosephWright</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishArt</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Literature</span></a></p>

Jonathan Emmesedi<p>I recently finished E.M. Forster's "A Room With A View".</p><p> I can see why this is such a popular novel, as it marries an affirmation of a vitalistic escape from repressive mores to a sharply observed social comedy. What a joy it was to read!</p><p>In its values it has something in common with D.H. Lawrence, but expressed with a wit and lightness of touch that one would search for in vain in the works of the Nottinghamshire author.</p><p>Even though in our age of everybody being but two clicks away from hard porn the novel's kerfuffle about being kissed seems alien, Forster's observations about relations of power between men and women remain pertinent.</p><p>I also enjoyed the rounded characterization of Miss Bartlett, Mr. Beebe, and Cecil Vyse. None of them are quite the flat predictable persons that one might expect on first encountering them in the novel.</p><p>Anybody who is an expatriate, but Brits in particular, should pay attention not just to the tourists in Italy but also to Miss Lavish and the odious Mr Eager.</p><p>A couple of more critical thoughts:</p><p>- Like almost every reader, I was urging Lucy on to be honest with herself and others. Nevertheless, I wonder if in the century or so since the book was published whether a certain cant about " honesty" and "authenticity" has grown up that is as simplistic and repressive in its own way as the Victorian moralism that Forster and his Bloomsbury contemporaries liked to skewer.</p><p>- As in "Howard's End", Forster turns a critical eye on those who depend on received wisdom about the arts and literature rather than getting in touch with life itself. I see what he's getting at, but I wonder if he is unwittingly sowing the seeds of an unpleasant anti-intellectual philistinism.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EMForster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EMForster</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ARoomWithaView" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ARoomWithaView</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a></p>

Jonathan Emmesedi<p>NPG 4461; Theodore Francis Powys - Portrait - National Portrait Gallery</p><p>This portrait was my random pick from London's National Portrait Gallery.</p><p>I had a vague memory of having heard of him, but was sure I had never read anything he had written. </p><p>After reading the Wikipedia summary of his best known work, the 1927 novel "Mr Weston's Good Wine", I have no problem remaining unpowysed.</p><p>>>It describes an evening in 1923 when Mr. Weston, who is apparently a wine merchant, but is evidently God, visits the fictional village of Folly Down in Dorset, and meets some of its individuals, whose backgrounds and lives leading up to this day are described during the course of the novel. Mr. Weston's colleague is named Michael, which is an allusion to the Archangel. For a while time stands still, and these individuals, according to their possessing qualities of good or evil, find their ultimate reward.<<</p><p><a href="https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw05121/Theodore-Francis-Powys?search=ap&firstRun=true&title=&npgno=4461&eDate=&lDate=&medium=&subj=&set=&portraitplace=&searchCatalogue=&ow=restrict&submitSearchTerm=Search&rNo=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">npg.org.uk/collections/search/</span><span class="invisible">portrait/mw05121/Theodore-Francis-Powys?search=ap&firstRun=true&title=&npgno=4461&eDate=&lDate=&medium=&subj=&set=&portraitplace=&searchCatalogue=&ow=restrict&submitSearchTerm=Search&rNo=0</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/NationalPortraitGallery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationalPortraitGallery</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TFPowys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TFPowys</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Portrait" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Portrait</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MrWestonsGoodWine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MrWestonsGoodWine</span></a></p>
