- Although the rise of the bureaucratic state was one of the most startling transformations of early twentieth-century British society, novelists raised on a diet of laissez-faire liberalism tended to shy away from direct representations of bureaucracy (with some prominent exceptions, such as the Circumlocution Office in Dickens’s Little Dorrit or Trollope’s Three Clerks). Although squarely set within the “governing-class spirit” of Westminster and populated with a bevy of civil servants, Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway (1925) tends to be read as maintaining a strict public/private division, with a marked preference for the richness and beauty of private life. This essay argues that Woolf, no stranger to the Civil Service through her family and personal networks, had a more strained and ambivalent response to bureaucracy as an idea and government form. A close reading of the structural importance of the character of Hugh Whitbread, a minor character who is often read as an empty, flat Dickensian caricature of the “gentleman,” shows a more ambivalent response to how bureaucracy and its forms impacted the wider concerns raised about governmentality in Woolf’s novel.

Pound's Four Pages: "literary Camouflage" and Postwar Anonymous Propaganda

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay examines Ezra Pound's behind-the-scenes control of the little review Four Pages, which ran for fifteen issues from 1948 to 1951. After his return to the United States in 1945 to face charges of treason, Pound was declared mentally incompetent and institutionalized in a mental hospital in the nation's capital. With his publishers attempting to rehabilitate Pound's public standing by spotlighting his purely "literary" efforts, Pound had to resort to anonymous publication to continue to have a say on contemporary matters. This essay shows how Pound essentially created and edited a little review to have a venue that pushed his social and political ideas at a time when doing so openly was problematic for legal and political reasons. The use of anonymity as a writer and editor was part of the wider "literary camouflage" that Four Pages engaged in to advance Pound's wider cultural and political agenda.
