Osnova
  • Repetition — repetition to the point of perfection — is perhaps the aspect of Forrest Reid that best defines him as a person and as an author. He had but one theme — boyhood — and it came to the surface constantly, irrespective of time or setting. This course will examine that repetition, the ways in which Reid's oeuvre reveals a movement toward his magnum opus, the Tom Barber trilogy. To augment our plot, milieu, thematic, socio-historical, and canonicity considerations, the author's (auto)biographical residues will be brought center-stage, hence the two autobiographies and three biographies of Reid will be thoroughly engaged.
  • Week 1: Introduction. Week 2: "Apostate" (1926). Week 3: "The Garden God: A Tale of Two Boys" (1905) and "Private Road" (1940). Week 4: "At the Door of the Gate" (1915). Week 5: "The Spring Song" (1916). Week 6: "Pirates of the Spring" (1919). Week 7: "Demophon: A Traveller's Tale" (1927). Week 8: "Brian Westby" (1934). Weeks 9-11: the Tom Barber trilogy considered in order of original publication - "Uncle Stephen" (1931), "The Retreat; or, The Machinations of Henry" (1936), "Young Tom; or, Very Mixed Company" (1944). Weeks 12-13: the Tom Barber trilogy considered in order of publication as a whole - "Young Tom; or, Very Mixed Company" (1944), "The Retreat; or, The Machinations of Henry" (1936), "Uncle Stephen" (1931).
