Patrick White (1912 1990) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973 and remains one of Australia s most celebrated writers. This book represents new work by an outstanding list of White scholars from around the globe. White s centenary revived mainstream interest in White in Australia and included a major exhibition on his life at the National Library of Australia. So too did the discovery of a highly significant hoard of hitherto unknown papers which were released by White s literary executor Barbara Mobbs in 2006. The book aims to carry this momentum outwards to the rest of the world. The contributors research is lodged in forwards-oriented methodologies and expressed in accessible language. On the whole, the collection is notable for its acknowledgement of White s homosexuality in relation to the development of his literary style, in its consideration of the way his writing works on/with readers, and for its contextualizing of his life and oeuvre in relation to London and to London life. The title of the book reflects the effect on White scholarship of the newly discovered papers, the focus of numerous chapters on the farcical and knockabout qualities of White s work, and the contributors intention to inspire further work on White from a rising generation of scholars of twentieth-century literature beyond Australia.", Patrick White (1912-1990) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973 and remains one of Australia's most celebrated writers. In 2006, White's literary executor, Barbara Mobbs, released a highly significant collection of hitherto unpublished papers, reviving mainstream and scholarly interest in his work. 'Patrick White Beyond the Grave' considers White's writing in light of the new findings, acknowledging his homosexuality in relation to the development of his literary style, examining the way he engages his readers, and contextualizing his life and oeuvre in relation to London and to London life. Thought-provoking, this collection of original essays represents the work of an outstanding list of White scholars from around the globe, and will no doubt inspire further work on White from a rising generation of scholars of twentieth-century literature beyond Australia.

This series of intriguing casestudies reveals how royal mothers were perceived by their contemporaries and explores the motivation for the ways in which they are depicted in modern popularculture.Then ask about their criminal records.She recalls her horror at the hardships of pioneer life�especially the crowding of many family members into the 12 x 14� dirt-floored shanties that were their first dewllings.Together, these essays demonstrate how changes in the understanding of male and female roles and expectations over the past few decades have contributed to a social revolution with profound--and paradoxical--effects on partnering, marriage, and family formation.But today, most poor renting families are spending more than half of their income on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers.Yet he was fascinated by photos of horse races in the Sporting Globe , and by the incantation of horses' names in radio broadcasts of races.A tender, thoughtful and very personal portrait of American genius Rod Serling." --Alice Hoffman "Richly told.
