Si la plupart des pionniers de la fin du 19e si cle et du d but du 20e si cle atteignaient l'ouest du Canada la t te pleine de r ves, mais les poches vides, d'autres eurent la chance d'arriver d'Europe avec de larges sommes d'argent qui leur permirent de s'y tablir plus confortablement. Tel fut le cas d'un premier groupe d'aristocrates fran ais qui s'installa partir de 1885 dans le sud de la province de la Saskatchewan. Pour la plupart, anciens officiers de cavalerie, ils avaient quitt la France cause des politiques anti-catholiques de l' poque. Ils ignoraient que le meneur de leur groupe, un certain Rudolf Meyer, tait adepte des th ories de Karl Marx. Les gens locaux les surnomm rent « les comtes de Saint-Hubert , du nom de la paroisse qu'ils institu rent sur les terres acquises. Vu leurs checs dans l' levage du b tail, dans les cultures, les fermages, et les diverses entreprises commerciales qu'ils lanc rent, ils rentr rent tous en France. Un second groupe d'aristocrates qui avaient d missionn de l'arm e arriva dans le sud de la province de l'Alberta en 1904. L'ann e suivante, alors que la loi « concernant la s paration des glises et de l' tat avait t vot e en France, ils fond rent un village qu'ils appel rent Trochu, une centaine de kilom tres de la ville de Calgary. Ce nom venait d'Armand Trochu, meneur de leur communaut . Le village de Trochu tait en plein essor quand la Premi re Guerre mondiale fut d clar e. Sans h siter, ces anciens officiers retourn rent tous se battre pour leur patrie. Les d corations militaires et les L gions d'honneur qu'ils re urent feraient du village de Trochu la plus grande concentration de r compenses militaires fran aises de la Premi re Guerre mondiale dans l'Ouest et peut- tre de tout le Canada.

Khirbet et-Tannur is a Nabataean site dating from the second century B.C. to the fourth to sixth centuries A.D. located on a hilltop above the Wadi el-Hasa near Khirbet edh-Dharih, 70 km north of Petra along the King’s Highway. In 1937, Nelson Glueck excavated Khirbet et-Tannur on behalf of the American Schools of Oriental Research and the Department of Antiquities of Transjordan, but died before completing a final report. Now, in two extensively illustrated volumes, the results of Glueck’s excavations are finally published, based on previously unstudied excavation records and archaeological materials in the ASOR Nelson Glueck Archive at the Semitic Museum, Harvard University. Volume 1 is devoted to the architecture of the temple, the dating of its successive phases, its sculptural decoration and iconography,and to a discussion of Nabataean religion, including the evidence for its connections with the religion of Iron Age Edom and its continuation at the temple of Khirbet et-Tannur well into the Christian era, before the A.D. 363 earthquake brought an end to the site. The volume closes with observations about iconoclasm at Khirbet et-Tannur, Khirbet edh-Dharih and Petra. Annual of ASOR 67

London 1974 - and Peter Greenberg is riding high. Thanks to his magic touch, every play he puts on in Theatreland is a hit and the money is rolling in.

Nadine Gordimer's Burger's Daughter

South African writer Nadine Gordimer won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991. Her seventh novel, Burger's Daughter, focuses upon the daughter of a white, communist Afrikaner hero. Based partly on fact, successively banned and unbanned by the South African authorities, the novel has also become something of a test case for feminist critics of Gordimer's writing. This casebook includes an interview with and an essay by Nadine Gordimer on the novel, classic and recent critical essays, an introduction discussing biographical and historical contexts and the literary reception, and a bibliography.
Nadine Gordimer is one of the most important writers to emerge in the twentieth century. Her anti-Apartheid novel July's People (1981) is a powerful example of resistance writing and continues even now to unsettle easy assumptions about issues of power, race, gender and identity.This guide to Gordimer's compelling novel offers:an accessible introduction to the text and contexts of July's People a critical history, surveying the many interpretations of the text from publication to the present a selection of new and reprinted critical essays on July's People, providing a range of perspectives on the novel and extending the coverage of key approaches identified in the critical surveycross-references between sections of the guide, in order to suggest links between texts, contexts and criticism suggestions for further reading. Part of the Routledge Guides to Literature series, this volume is essential reading for all those beginning detailed study of July's People and seeking not only a guide to the novel, but a way through the wealth of contextual and critical material that surrounds Gordimer's text.

Discusses Gordimer's distinctive contribution to twentieth-century fiction, and to literature that opposes/challenges apartheid.
The award to Nadine Gordimer of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991 was an affirmation of her distinctive contribution to twentieth-century fiction and to the creation of a literature that challenges apartheid. In this study, which may be used as an introduction as well as by those already familiar with Gordimer’s work, Dominic Head discusses each of her novels in detail, paying close attention to the texts both as a reflection of events and situations in the real world, and as evidence of her constant rethinking of her craft. Head shows how Gordimer’s concerns, apparent in her earliest novels, are developed through increasing stress on the politics of textuality; and he pursues the implications of this development to consider how Gordimer’s later work contributes to postmodernist fiction, and to a recentering of political engagement in an era of uncertainty.
