    Extractions: April 24, 2007 Author Barbara Pym. (Courtesy St. Hilda's College, University of Oxford) Daffodils are starting to push up and the sky is a swirl of robin egg blue and milky white. It’s the first weekend of spring — and I have elected to spend every minute of it inside an airless auditorium. The Barbara Pym Society in North America is holding its ninth annual conference at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Mass., and I feel as though I have spent my entire life counting down the days until I would meet other card-carrying Pym fanatics. The society’s website promises a weekend of back-to-back lectures and discussions. When I e-mailed the group’s president, Ellen Miller, to make sure the program wasn’t geared to scholars, she assured me it wasn’t. “It is a very warm, inclusive, and non-academic environment,” she wrote. “The atmosphere is one of instant friendship!” Barbara Pym might not be the best writer to have ever graced the earth, but she’s at the top of my list. I discovered her three years ago, by accident, when I was stuck in a tiny beach house with a dyspeptic boyfriend whose head I was about to tear off. When I finished whatever book I’d brought with me, I combed our host’s bookshelves and found

    Extractions: I had never heard of the writer Barbara Pym but a friend on shelfari introduced me to her. Barbara Pym is a English writer that wrote several books in the 1950's. "Excellent Women" is the first and only book I have read so far. I was happy to read a book that is easy to read, unpretentious, straight forward, and uncomplicated. The time period for this story is shortly after WWII, in London. It is the story of an unmarried woman "just over 30" named Mildred Lathbury . She enjoys having tea with and eating out with friends, church, observing and peeking into the lives of other people, and she also wonders what being married would be like. She has new neighbors, a unconventional married couple that she becomes friends with, she secretly thinks the husband is handsome. But Mildred is practical and after all, happy with her life.

    Extractions: Reading Barbara Pym stakes out new territory in Pym criticism by questioning the assumptions and predispositions by which her novels have been received and judged. Early in Pym’s career, reviews of her novels likened her books in relaxed fashion to delicious tastes and smells. Later (when mention of her twice in a TLS survey as one of the century’s ten most underrated novelists secured and altered her critical reception), and since her death in 1980, commentary in oppositely vigilant fashion discovered in Pym’s novels academic themes and gender/political issues ripe for exploration. But the traditional concerns of academic and popular criticism have sidestepped the more challenging task of locating the power and quality of Pym’s narrative, the reasons her novels are important to read personally as well as study academically. This book approaches the text of four of Pym’s novels - Some Tame Gazelle Quartet in Autumn Excellent Women , and Jane and Prudence - with a unique sensitivity and respect, discovering the special power (and the sometimes faltering) of Pym’s art at the narrative level. At its characteristic best the quality of Pym’s text is to communicate clarities when it qualifies, certainties when it hesitates, forces when it yields – all the while engaging issues of loneliness and love and futility and significance and despair and joy, without the ponderousness of much modern literature.

31. A Few Green Leaves (Barbara Pym) - Book Review

    http://dannyreviews.com/h/Few_Green_Leaves.html
    
    Extractions: Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Grafton 1981 A book review by Danny Yee Anthropologist Emma Howick has come to the village where her mother lives with no real goal, just vague thoughts of writing something about English village life. Disturbed only by visits from an ex-lover, she settles into the local community, getting to know the two doctors and their wives, the vicar and his sister, some spinsters, a food critic, and a pair of bohemian academics. And that's pretty much the plot of A Few Green Leaves . No one is murdered, there is no more than a hint at romance, and the biggest drama comes when the elderly woman who used to tutor the children in the manor comes visiting from London and is briefly lost in the woods. Pym is only teasing the reader with her hints at genre fiction, however, and once I stopped waiting for a body to be found A Few Green Leaves rather grew on me. It is a delicate miniature, but it offers subtle comedy, with a nice turn in irony and some sharp insights, even if these are delivered so gently they are easy to miss. Pym's model is obviously Jane Austen ("3 or 4 Families in a Country village is the very thing to work on") and like her she fits a surprising amount into a limited canvas. But the world Pym describes is, unlike Austen's, fragile and in flux: the manor is no longer occupied, new bungalows have been built, and the outside world unavoidably intrudes. 24 December 2001 - buy from Amazon.com

Success Stories edited by Hazel K Bell Buy this book from Amazon ISBN 9543316 6 4 HKB Press in association with the Barbara Pym Society 115pp, paperback Retail price £7.50 There are two main categories of self-publishing: one is practised by individuals who, for one reason or another, have been unable to interest a commercial publisher in their work; the other is normally the province of societies or organisations with specialist material they want to share. The former category is seldom profitable; the second may well make a modest profit, if only because its readership has been established in advance. No Soft Incense: Barbara Pym and the Church No Soft Incense is an excellent example of self-publishing turned to advantage. A commercial publisher probably would not have looked twice at this collection of literary essays, mostly written by members of the Barbara Pym Society (one of the most successful literary societies in existence in the UK today). Despite the recognition Pym has received in the past 25 years, only a few of her works are currently in print. Critical studies are most likely to be of interest to Pym devotees, and may not have a wide circulation outside the Society itself. However, by getting together with a group who have experience of the publishing industry, the Society has found a way of making these detailed and intensively-researched articles available to their intended audience at a reasonable price.

    http://webster.edu/~corbetre/personal/reading/pym-academic.html
    
    Extractions: March 2003 The novel is a gentle story of academic life in new small English university in the early to mid 1960s. Catherine Grimstone tells the story from her own perspective. She’s the wife of a young and coming scholar of African Studies, Alan Grimstone. Alan’s in a somewhat bitter struggle with the aging leading scholar in his field, Crespin Maynard. The story is sprinkled with interesting characters, especially Coco Jeffrey’s, a professor of Caribbean Studies. He is of indeterminate gender and Catherine’s best friend. This well-told work has little plot of significance, what makes the book so charming are the unusual characters and Pym’s telling of the tale. What particularly grabbed my attention was a deeper level of honesty and unusual probing which Catherine brings to her first person narration. She is brutally honest, not out of meanness or cynicism, but in her innocence and gullibility. Her own husband is a serious scholar and would have been an up and coming scholar in any world. But in these mid-60s he is situated as a junior professor in one of the “new” universities which were springing up at that time. Her view is that most of the teachers are in no way worthy of university positions, and the students are neither up to the task of a “real” university education, nor interested in it. Catherine describes one young professor as arrogant, aggressive and more interested in the on-going social revolution than in any scholarly work.
