Extractions: Robertson Davies In his youth, Davies was interested in the creation of illusion. He loved music and was fascinated by magic, demons, angels, guardian spirits and above all, theatre. Through his fiction, Davies integrated his many interests, all the contradictions of his rough small town background and the need for something higher, more spiritual and refined. In 1940, Davies left England and returned to Canada with his new wife Brenda Mathews. He became editor of Saturday Night magazine and then editor of the Peterborough Examiner from 1941-61. Davies also wrote plays and was active in the creation and development of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival. In 1961, he began teaching at Massey College at the University of Toronto.

During these years Davies began writing humorous essays under the pseudonym Samuel Marchbanks, published a troika of novels (the Salterton trilogy) and in 1960 began teaching literature courses at U of T.

Extractions: Reviews Literary Calendar Authors in town Events by Location ... Hot Links by Stephen Heuser Oh, Canada. In the past two months, our northern neighbor has managed to keep Quebec and lose Robertson Davies a dismal season indeed. The loss feels doubly keen, for at age 82 the grand old man of Canadian letters was still eminently productive. His most recent novel, The Cunning Man , came out last spring, and his biography, Robertson Davies: Man of Myth , by Judith Skelton Grant, was released in America by Viking just a week before his death. Although Davies had long cultivated an imposing, even antique, physical presence really, that beard! his manner was more that of a jesting grandfather. The Economist , in its obituary, ran a formal photograph of him sticking out his tongue. In his novels and essays, Davies could tilt quickly from crusty scholar to libertine rascal as in his Deptford trilogy, set chiefly in mid-20th-century Canada and Switzerland, which is packed with loving descriptions of forgotten medieval saints and also bubbles with marital infidelity, bisexual seduction, and the darker sorts of buggery. (I didn't learn the word "catamite" from reading Davies, but his account of a traveling carnival in the third Deptford novel, World of Wonders

Davies uses a variety of approachesâincluding comedy, satire , myth, coming-of-age fiction, allegory , and historical romanceâto depict Canadian subjects. His fiction is concerned primarily with the survival of the human spirit in his characters, who quest for their own place in the world while trying not to hurt others. Born William Robertson Davies in Thamesville, Ontario, he was educated at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and at Balliol College, University of Oxford, in Oxford, England.

Robertson Davies Biography
This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article robertson davies.
http://www.biographybase.com/biography/Davies_Robertson.html

Extractions: Growing up, Davies was surrounded by language. His father was a newspaper man, and both his parents were voracious readers. He, in turn, read everything he could. While Davies spent his first twenty-three working years at various newspapers in small town Ontario, his first passion was for the theatre, which is where he met and married his wife, Brenda. He was a playwright and director for many years, in England and Canada. His greatest novel is probably Fifth Business (1970), a curious book which draws heavily on Davies's love of myth and knowledge of small-town mores. The narrator, like Davies, is of immigrant Canadian background, with a father who runs the town paper. In a book full of singular characters, the central character is a simple, mentally defective woman named Mary Dempster, who may or may not be a saint.

To be happy, you must be reasonable, or you must be tamed. You must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passion, and learned your place in the world and what things in it can really serve you. To be happy you must be wise.
