101. Isaac Rosenberg: Birkbeck's War Poet
     Lecture on the English war poet by Steven Connor.  
     http://www.bbk.ac.uk/english/skc/rosenberg/
     
     Extractions: Steven Connor The text of a lecture given as part of Birkbeck College’s From Mechanics to Millennium lecture series, October 30th 2000. All quotations from Rosenberg’s works are from The Collected Works of Isaac Rosenberg: Poetry, Prose, Letters, Paintings and Drawings , ed. Ian Parsons (London: Chatto and Windus, 1979), abbreviated to CW Rosenberg was educated, not in the Jewish Free School in Spitalfields, which had been his parents’ wish, but in a State school in Baker Street. Jewish religious education featured strongly in the curriculum at the school, though Rosenberg appears to have been bored and inattentive - despite his later interest in subjects from Jewish religion and history, he does not seem to have learned very much Hebrew. At the Baker Street School, which Rosenberg attended until the age of 14, his talent for sketching was encouraged, assisted by Rosenberg’s attendance at the Arts and Crafts School in Stepney Green. On leaving school, Rosenberg embarked on an apprenticeship in Carl Hentschel's, an engraving business in Fleet Street, which would in fact supply him with his living, and supplement the family income valuably until he was 20. But the work was hugely demoralising for Rosenberg. By the time he was 16, he had conceived an ambition to study at the Slade School. Knowing that this would be impossible without further training, Rosenberg enrolled for evening classes in the Art School at Birkbeck College in Chancery Lane, for nearly two years, betwen 1907 and 1908.

One of Canada's most highly acclaimed poets, and author of an award-winning memoir, Patrick Lane, with this astonishing debut, suddenly introduces himself as a major novelist. Red Dog, Red Dog unfolds over the course of one week in and around a small town in the Okanagan Valley in 1958, with stories arcing back in time to the 1920s and '30s on the prairies and to the harsh life of settlers in the 1880s West. The novel centres on the Stark family. There is Elmer, a violent man whose troubled beginnings took him from his home when he was a boy in 1918, leaving him to wander alone across the West, eking out a living here and there as a hired hand. Lillian, who married Elmer shortly after the Depression, when she was seventeen, finds herself retreating steadily into isolation. Their sons, Tom and Eddy, now in their twenties, are bound together by the secrets of their childhood Red Dog, Red Dog is a deeply moving novel about the legacies of the past and the possibilities of salvation that is marked by stunning writing and an utterly compelling and original story.
