E. H. Visiak: Writer and Mystic

by Anthony Harrison-Barbet

with an Introduction by Colin Wilson.

Novelist, poet, essayist, critic, biographer, pacifist, and mystic, E. H. Visiak (1878-1972) is remembered principally for his "story of mystery and ecstasy and strange horror" Medusa (1929), highly rated today by connoisseurs of the genre; his contribution to Milton scholarship-he was awarded a Civil List pension for his authoritative editing of the Nonesuch Compendious Milton (1938); and his superb autobiography Life's Morning Hour (1968), which contains a fascinating description of his life-changing visionary experience-Colin Wilson considers this book to be "one of the finest accounts of childhood in English Literature". Never a member of any literary 'establishment' he spent his long life in relative seclusion in London and later in Hove, Sussex, though he was a frequent correspondent of such contemporaries as John Masefield, John Cowper Powys, John Gawsworth, and David Lindsay, author of A Voyage to Arcturus (whom he befriended and supported in his literary endeavours).

E. H. Visiak: Writer and Mystic contains substantial selections from his best poetry and prose, and includes many previously unpublished essays-on literature, Victorian life, and the sea. Helpful analyses of his three novels are also provided. The anthology is preceded by a critical study of Visiak's 'world-view' and his often controversial views on literature. For this Anthony Harrison-Barbet has been able to draw additionally on Visiak's notes for a projected work on religion and philosophy. The critical essay together with the anthology constitutes an excellent introduction to a somewhat neglected writer, the merits of whose work can now be fully appreciated by a wider readership.

'The Death of God' and other plays

by

Colin Wilson

Eagerly awaited by Wilson scholars and fans, this is to be a collection of four previously unpublished plays with an introduction by the author. The plays are:

* The Death of God *

* Necessary Doubt *

* Mysteries *

* The Metal Flower Blossom *

The Death of God and The Metal Flower Blossom were both written in the 1950's, at the beginning of Wilson's writing career; the former at the request of George Devine, then Director of The Royal Court Theatre. Necessary Doubt was written for television and then turned into a novel, of the same title, which was published in 1964. Mysteries was penned in 1979 and introduces Wilson's Inspector Saltfleet (from The Schoolgirl Murder Case) to the stage. This play was later adapted into the 1984 novel The Janus Murder Case.

Mozart's Journey to Prague

a playscript

Mozart and his wife Constanze left Vienna for Prague on October 1, 1787, a distance of some 330 kilometres--a three day journey. Halfway through the second day, the coach had arrived at a small village, at the top of the Moravian mountain range, and they decided to stop for lunch at a little inn. While Constanze rested, Mozart wandered off up the avenue of poplars that led to the grounds of the castle of Count Joseph von Schinzburg. Here, as he relaxed in a trellised arbour near a fountain, he idly plucked an orange from a small orange tree, and absent-mindedly cut it in half-at which point he was discovered by Velten, the head gardener...

Within four years of these events, Mozart was dead.

Many years later, after the dawn of the new century, the Countess Sophie von Schinzburg, still a slim and attractive woman in her mid- sixties, told the story of Mozart's visit at the home of Prince and Princess Lichnowsky, in Vienna, to an audience of Mozart's admirers.

Based on a novella of the same name, by the nineteenth century poet Eduard Mörike, the play was written in 1991 at the request of the Medici String Quartet which was celebrating its 20th anniversary. Starring Dorothy Tutin, Richard McCabe and featuring the Medici String Quartet, it successfully toured the U.K. later that year.

The Musician as 'Outsider'

In a wide-ranging essay, Wilson extends his examination of the dilemma that destroyed so many of the great Romantic 'Outsider' artists to composers from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, turning the spotlight in particular on Franz Liszt, Hector Berlioz, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Ludwig van Beethoven whom he describes as: "...one of the first of the great Outsider-Artists-perhaps the greatest of them all." Calling upon Nietzsche and his own philosophy of optimism, Wilson suggests a way out of the Romantic cul-de-sac of pessimism and self-pity, anticipating a time when: "...the 'age of Outsiders' will draw to a close, and the human race will embark on a new phase of its history."

Music, Nature and the Romantic Outsider

In a follow-up essay to 'The Musician as 'Outsider'', Wilson considers the way in which the romantic poets and musicians changed man's outlook on nature. Starting in 1793 with Wackenroder and Tieck's tour of Southern Germany, he takes us through the nineteenth and into the twentieth centuries-to the end of romanticism and the onset of modernism-assessing the contribution of E.T.A. Hoffmann, Hector Berlioz, Robert Schumann, Thomas Mann, Anton Bruckner, Jean Sibelius, Frederick Delius and many others along the way. Applying his knowledge of split-brain psychology, Wilson is able to suggest that the descent into pessimism and self-pity, that destroyed so many of the great Romantic 'Outsider' artists, was a problem of weakness which can be avoided through self-discipline.

The Decline and Fall of Leftism

In a rare essay on political science, Wilson argues that most talk of social revolution is not a logical response to a perception of social injustice, but a personal sense of injury masquerading as social criticism.In part one, he outlines his own disenchantment with Socialism and, in parts two and three, studies the life and work of two socialist writers: Jack London and B. Traven. 'Intellectually, I reject Socialism,' Wilson concludes, 'temperamentally, it can still tug at my sympathies. So I feel this essay...is an attempt to understand Socialism as much as to puncture its fallacies.'

A reissue of Colin Wilson's

Strindberg

[a play in two scenes]

Colin Wilson's first published play was written in 1965 but remained in manuscript until 1970. On September 15, 1971 it was performed as 'Pictures in a Bath of Acid' at the Leeds Playhouse, starring Alfred Burke as Strindberg. It played as 'Strindberg: A Psychological Portrait' in New York three years later and again in 1975 as 'Strindberg: A Fool's Decision'. In that same year a production was staged by the Mercury Theatre Company in London under the combined title of 'Strindberg or Pictures in a Bath of Acid'.

As fascinating to read as to see in production, the play succeeds in presenting a psychological portrait of one the most original and intriguing figures of modern literature. Skilfully using techniques derived from Strindberg's own plays, Wilson has created a uniquely challenging role for any actor. It is hoped that this reprint will inspire a new generation of actors and directors to once again take up that challenge.

Ian McEwan's Atonement & Saturday

by Bernie C. Byrnes

In 2002 The Work Of Ian McEwan: A Psychodynamic Approach was published by Paupers' Press. In it Bernie C. Byrnes traced the 'metaplot' of Ian McEwan's fiction and offered psychodynamic interpretations of his published work, culminating in the Booker prize winning Amsterdam (1998). Since then McEwan has published two more books: Atonement (2001) and Saturday (2005). This booklet is intended as a supplement to that main work and deals with these later novels in detail.

With the publication of Atonement, several critics, and many readers, hailed him as the 'greatest living English writer'. It is never possible to be sure that a contemporary writer will be recognised by future generations. One of the prerequisites for this is that his voice should speak for his own time and place in history and as such Saturday places McEwan firmly at the forefront of the search for new values, independent of the traditional wisdom received from the past.

Nevertheless, McEwan seems to have come to the end of the spontaneous gifts from his unconscious. For someone so committed to the imagination as a source of fiction, he devotes increasingly large parts of his novels to historical and scientific information, which he studies in depth, and relies increasingly on conscious structuring of characters and plots synthesised from fragments of reality. This need not mean that creativity is at an end. However, with diminishing amounts of new unconscious material being included in his writing, Byrnes' assessment of his work would appear to have reached its conclusion.

The long-awaited sequel to First Novel:

Novel 2

another novel by

Colin Stanley

The hunt for a missing schoolgirl in the normally sleepy town of Tapshed, Devon, provides some startling news for Christopher Purbright, a writer, escaping from Nottingham, returning to his home town to work on a new novel. Events send him scurrying deeper into the West Country landscape -- to Bovey Tracey, Lustleigh, and onto Dartmoor itself, until he realises that he can't keep running away and is forced to face up to his past. It is then that he meets the mysterious man who has bought his family home in Tapshed...
As with the acclaimed First Novel, Novel 2, superficially an unconventional thriller, is, in fact, a plea to heighten our consciousness in order to live vital and appreciative lives.

"Judged on its own, this is an interesting and entertaining read. It's funny too...baffling and erotic. But it is when you read it in conjunction with the author's 'First Novel' that all the pieces of the mosaic come together in a very clever way because the two novels run concurrently, dealing with the same sequence of events from different viewpoints then bringing them together.Lovers of conventional storylines will be disappointed for this is very much an experimental allegory accentuating the power of sex, the importance of mystical experience and how the two can combine to enrich our perceptions. Bring on 'Novel 3'!" Anonymous reviewer, Amazon.co.uk.

"Another brilliant metaphor, affording us, once again, more than a glimpse of our potential as human beings..."
Mark Lethbridge-Wright, Western Morning Express and Echo.

"A light, swift accessible read with a satisfying circularity...deft verbal painting, brooding evocations of the Exe estuary, thrillerish pursuits, dashes of nostalgia and regret, a needlepoint of existential despair...a new type of creation...vanishing into a wilderness of mirrors..."
Paul Newman, Abraxas [Reviewing First Novel].

Laura Del Rivo's novel

Speedy and Queen Kong

(with an Afterword by Colin Wilson)

"Speedy was poor but dishonest. He could not read or write well, but he could count…Half his mind was robot, clickety-click, cool as an ice-cube, cool to the point of total refrigerated insensibility…The other part was sensationalist. He exploded braincells that irradiated the loft under his skull with electric blue lightwaves."

"Queen Kong had dyed orange hair, erect in a crest. She went in for tight T-shirts. Most T-shirts were tight on Queen Kong; she was a weighty lady who led with the chest…She dyed her hair orange to blaze out her last passion; for she was getting on in weight and years; for Speedy."

Just two of the larger-than-life characters from this extraordinary novel by Laura Del Rivo, author of 'The Furnished Room' (filmed by Michael Winner as 'West 11') and 'Daffodil on the Pavement.'

"A virtuoso performance…a poetic phantasmagoria…Del Rivo shows her mastery of a stabby aphoristic style, impaling her characters on the tips of vicious metaphors…The narrative crackles with jokes and apt observations…(one is reminded of Joe Orton who savours and celebrates the spiritual impoverishment of his characters)." - Paul Newman, Editor of Abraxas and author of  'Murder as an Antidote for Boredom: the novels of Laura Del Rivo, Colin Wilson and Bill Hopkins.'

"She writes brilliantly…this book achieves its effects by means of satirical caricature, rather like Nathanael West's masterpiece Miss Lonelyhearts…" - Colin Wilson (from his Afterword).

Writing on the Body:

sex, gender and identity in the fiction of Jeanette Winterson and Angela Carter.

by Richard Hobbs

Richard Hobbs's research interests are primarily in the field of identity, particularly gender identity in 20th Century culture, including consideration of sexuality, gender performance and the historicity of roles. He relates perceived roles to literary representations and to 'real life', taking into account the blurred boundaries of reality, fiction and fantasy. Hobbs observes gender difference historically as a fluctuating, power-based site and gauges its influence on art and society leading into the 21st Century. Writing on the Body…considers the selected fiction of Jeanette Winterson and Angela Carter with those themes in mind and exposes the significance of self in both.
He writes: "My first reading of Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body illustrated a tangible shift in one character's gender identity from male to female. Making brief notes as I read, it became clear from the first few pages that Winterson intended her narrator's gender to remain ambiguous and I diligently referred to 'the narrator' instead of generics, such as 'him' or 'her.'
Angela Carter's The Passion of New Eve offers an interesting comparison with Winterson's text. Gender identity is explored through Evelyn, the sexually dominant male, who is captured by a matriarchal gang of outlaws and surgically altered to become Eve. In addition to a biological sex change, the female project at 'Beulah' is to culturally alter Evelyn into a 'woman'."

Sex and Sexuality in

Ian McEwan's work.

by Bernie C. Byrnes

A revised editon of an earlier popular essay on the novelist Ian McEwan by C. Byrnes, author of 'The Work of Ian McEwan: a psychodynamic approach'.

Throughout his career Ian McEwan has often been mis-understood and plagued by controversy. The BBC first commissioned a play by him and then in March 1979, four days before he was due to record it, the management called a halt. McEwan was told the play was 'untransmittable' and the BBC put out a press notice that announced the ban and referred to 'grotesque and bizarre sexual elements in the play' In fact, Solid Geometry is the least bizarrely sexual of McEwan's early work and he was hugely disappointed that he was not given a fair trial. McEwan was labelled as 'dirty' and it is this reputation that many people still recall when his name is mentioned.
In this essay Bernie C. Byrnes (author of The Work of Ian McEwan: a psychodynamic approach) discusses McEwan's use of sex and sexuality to portray various aspects of relationship, inter-personal communication, closeness and distance, status and the acting out of erotic fantasy. There is in McEwan's work, a gradual development in his characters from infantile to mature sexual functioning, through the recognised stages of psycho-sexual development. Far from being 'dirty' or gratuitous, McEwan's treatment of sexuality is a powerful and vital comment on society. McEwan holds a mirror up for us to view ourselves and we should be careful not to condemn him too vehemently because we don't like what we see.

The Forms of Things Unknown:

essays on Teaching and Learning Creative Writing

***

Stephen Wade

Creative writing is now well established as a 'subject' and modules in Higher Education, Access courses, distance learning and adult education are now completely familiar. There is an assumption that it is still permissable for the aims of these modules to remain vague. Yet, if you institutionalise such courses, you have to come up with assessment criteria. Or should it remain an exception?

Stephen Wade's agenda is simple: courses should involve both the flexible thinking of humanities conceptual course-construction and the room for personal expression. He argues that there has to be a course/module model that embraces and allows for that complexity. The essays and case studies he presents are intended to stimulate some machinery for change in institutions: a change towards making creativity less formidable and sacerdotal.

David Bowie: a sense of art

by David Power

***

David Bowie once commented that Andy Warhol is one of the most important artists of the second half of the twentieth century because he helped to break down the barriers between high and low art. Whatever we may think of this judgement, we can see why Bowie himself would give such importance to an artist who did this. Bowie is first and foremost a rock star. However, there has always been a sense in which just being a rock star would not be enough for him. This has led him to mix into his music an unprecedented amount of influences from other art forms thereby adding weight to the rock medium itself. He has also, as an actor and painter, produced work of quality in art forms other than the rock medium. Thus, in his own way he has done something similar to Warhol in that he has, if not broken down the barriers between high and low art, then he has certainly blurred them.

Tom Greenwell's literary comedy in two acts:

Chepstow Road

(Colin Wilson Study # 12)

Tom Greenwell's literary comedy is set in the house that he famously shared with Colin Wilson, Bill Hopkins and John Braine between 1956 and 1959 when he worked as a gossip columinst for The Evening Standard. Wilson and Hopkins, at the cutting edge of English literature at the time, drift in and out of the action as does the Rachmanesque landlord who owns the building and supervises the brothel in the basement. Greenwell's room, as explained by Stuart Holroyd in his 'Afterword', "was a meeting place for fellow writers and journalists, people in publishing or television, and a host of seekers, malcontents and misfits". Cue Percy, the author, married to Annabel, the actress who recently turned down a part in Look Back In Anger. And Annabel's millionaire uncle Walter, intending, at an advanced age, to marry Mrs Withernsea thereby disinheriting his niece. How can this disaster be avoided? Well, there's Dolly who works in the basement...

Tom Greenwell's amusing and informative playscript works both as an entertainment and as a slice of literary history. A 'must read' for anyone interested in this fascinating period when English literature finally shook itself free from the constraints of World War Two.

Contains an Introduction by Colin Wilson and an Afterword by Stuart Holroyd.

a novel by

Colin Stanley

"Do what you will, this life's a fiction
And is made up of Contradiction"

***

These lines from William Blake do little to prepare the reader for the extraordinary events that unfold in this unconventional thriller where fact and fiction merge unnervingly.
The action, switching between Tapshed, a small town in Devon, and London, focuses upon the police hunt for a missing schoolgirl.
The hero, a minor but published poet, in the process of writing his first novel, unwittingly drawn into a dark underworld of pornography and paedophilia, becomes a suspect.
But nothing is as it seems  in this metaphysical thriller and the chance discovery of a missing chapter from the novel confirms Blake's view of the state of things.
