45. Sir Kingsley Amis And The Era Of Lucky Jim
    Introduction to Sir kingsley amis, author of Lucky Jim , in the context of the social changes taking place in postwar Britain of the 1950s.  
    http://www.literature-study-online.com/essays/amis.html
    
    Extractions: Kingsley Amis (1922-1995) was a modern and popular writer who began his career as a radical and ended up fostering an image of curmudgeonly conservatism. He was knighted in 1990. Amis is remembered first and foremost for Lucky Jim (1954). The title became a byword in the 50s along with I'm all right Jack - a film starring Ian Carmichael who also played Jim Dixon in the film adaptation of Lucky Jim . A problem for modern readers, over fifty years later, is to grasp why the book was a hit at the time. Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) seem possible and not far away. A Labour government was elected in 1945 after Victory in Europe but its members had been largely in control of domestic policy during the previous years. The 1944 Education Act allowed bright youngsters from lower-middle and working class backgrounds to attend university; and it was intended as a piece of social engineering to break down the old barriers of class and privilege and issue in a New Britain of fairness and equality after the most devastating war in history. The underlying theme of Lucky Jim is that of a fish out of water. A working class boy has become a university lecturer and is trying to make sense of the whole academic business. What is the relationship between a knowledge of Latin and the works of Matthew Arnold and doing a job of work?

Not an easy man to please and a great poet himself (and a boxer in his time) Vernon is generous about this book and compares her 'to accomplished writers of light verse such as Winthrop Praed, C. S. Calverley and J. K. Stephen.' Odd to see Virginia Woolf's cousin (and suspected molester) J.K. Stephen in the list, some of his poems were so misogynistic that he was suspected of being Jack the Ripper. Vernon concludes that her success is a mystery to him and notes that her short poems are her finest.

    Extractions: THE ALTERATION by Kingsley Amis Reviewed by Steven H Silver Kingsley Amis's alternate history is set in a world in which the Protestant Reformation was severely crippled in its infancy when Martin Luther became Pope Germanian I. The novel is set as the English a mourning the death of King Stephen III in 1976. Central to the funeral dirges is the nearly perfect voice of Hubert Anvil, a ten year old singer in the choir of St. George's Basilica, Coverley. The novel deals with events following the funeral as Hubert's mentors decide his voice is too precious to lose and he should become a castrati, the alteration of the title, in an attempt to preserve it. The most realistic scenes of the novel are the after lights-out sequences in which hubert talks with the three other boys he shares a dorm room with. Although these boys are stereotypically drawn, they come to life as the most real characters in the book. Young boys who have no use for rules, but abide by them as best they can who are discovering there is a world around them. Although the boys are all friendly to each other, you can tell that they would not necessarily have become friend had circumstances not forced their friendship upon them. One of the fixations of the novel, as may be expected from the main characters' ages and the fate about to befall Hubert, is sex. The reader is treated to a graphic description of the first sexual act Hubert witnesses as well as Hubert's older brother trying to describe intercourse to a ten-year-old. Hubert is at an age where children become interested in sex, and knowing he will never be able to experience it, or even desire it, Hubert attempts to learn as much about it as he can.

He was the author of twenty novels, three collections of poetry, a number of short stories, and ten books of social or literary criticism.

After service in the army with the Royal Corps of Signals he completed his university studies in 1947 and then worked as a lecturer in English at the University of Wales Swansea (1948-61) and in Cambridge (1961-63). Amis achieved popular success with his first novel Lucky Jim , which is often considered the exemplary novel of the Fifties. The novel won the Somerset Maugham Award for fiction and Amis was placed in a group of young writers labelled Angry Young Men. Lucky Jim is considered a seminal work, the first to feature an ordinary person as anti-hero.

After his death in October 1995, Keith Waterhouse described him as 'a great storyteller, although he was much more than a storyteller,' while John Mortimer wrote: 'He was a genuine comic writer, probably the best after P.

    Extractions: September 11th, 2006 New Approach Needed by Kingsley Amis(1922-1995) Kingsley (from 1990, Sir Kingsley) Amis was just four months older than Philip Larkin, and the two men were good friends. Some of their correspondence has survived, and it is often very funny. Amis described himself as "an unwilling unbeliever." That is to say, he thought religion was on the whole a good thing, but felt no inclination towards it himself. His outlook, like Larkin's, was that of the skeptical, rather aggressively unillusioned generation born in the decade or so after the Great War. (Larkin's 1955 poetry collection had the tile The Less Deceived .) Amis's attitude towards religion was a bit more complicated than that implies, though. One of the four sections of his 1986 production The Great British Songbook —40 songs out of 200—is titled "Carols, Hymns and Spirituals." In the introduction to that section Amis says that: "Anybody is the poorer who has not at some time in life regularly sung hymns in choir or congregation." The Anglican hymnal has in fact been popular with several famous atheists: George Bernard Shaw and D.H. Lawrence are other examples. Like most English people, however—including most English Christians, I think— Amis found Jesus Christ unappealing. I think he would have approved of George Orwell's remark that "I like the Church of England better than Our Lord." The English are an Old Testament folk—there is in fact a British Israel Society, founded on the notion that the English (or British, I am not clear on this) are one of the lost tribes of Israel. Kipling seems to have been attracted to this idea.

    Extractions: New authorised biography of the novelist and poet Kingsley Amis. Cover of Zachary Leader's new authorised biography of the novelist and poet Kingsley Amis Roehampton University’s Professor of English Literature, Zachary Leader, has spent four-and-a-half years writing a new authorised biography of the novelist and poet Kingsley Amis. The result is The Life of Kingsley Amis , an eye-opening portrayal of a controversial creative genius. Previously he had edited Amis’s Letters , described in the Sunday Telegraph by Anthony Thwaite as ‘one of the last major monuments of the epistolary art.’ Amis was an astonishingly prolific writer, author of 25 published novels, seven volumes of poetry, eleven works of non-fiction, seventeen edited volumes, several dozen short stories, nine television and radio plays, more than 1,300 pieces of journalism, and almost 2,000 letters. Yet his life away from the desk was full of incident, shaped by powerful trends and forces. He married twice, the second time to the novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard, had three children, and in his twenties and thirties was, in the words of his younger son, the novelist Martin Amis, ‘a heroic adulterer.’
