Litrefs Articles: Schrodinger's cat in literature
http://litrefsarticles.blogspot.com/2015/04/schrodingers-cat-in-literature.html
Literary articles by Tim Love. Friday, 24 April 2015. Schrodinger's cat in literature. I suspect that allusions in literature to Schrödinger's cat aren't always understood correctly. Why is that situation any different to these? A soccer referee tosses a coin before a match, covers it, asks a captain to call heads or tails. Until the coin's revealed, nobody knows what it is. A prisoner's locked in a dungeon and the key thrown away. Sooner or later they'll die, but we won't know when. Rather than saying t...

Litrefs Articles: Poetic Voice
http://litrefsarticles.blogspot.com/2015/07/poetic-voice.html
Literary articles by Tim Love. Friday, 24 July 2015. Polly Clark wrote " Anyone who has taken a creative writing course knows about ‘voice’. This is the elusive, essential, treasured characteristic of a poem on the page, the one thing we must have, as a poet above all else. We talk about ‘finding our voice’ and we know when someone has found it and when they haven’t. And in "The Writer's Voice" Al Alvarez wrote that " a writer doesn't properly begin until he has a voice of his own. But putative authentic...
Litrefs Articles: Art and literary narration
http://litrefsarticles.blogspot.com/2015/02/art-and-narration.html
Literary articles by Tim Love. Wednesday, 18 February 2015. Art and literary narration. The Bayeux Tapestry is a famous example of how to display a narrative graphically. The method translates easily to prose (and movies). But there are other ways. Here I'll pursue a particular thread of narrative development in art from the medieval to the 20th century, showing how the various ways might be used in literature. Just as a Simultanbild deforms a narrative, reconstructing it so that some common features (e&...
Litrefs Articles: William Blake
http://litrefsarticles.blogspot.com/2015/06/william-blake.html
Literary articles by Tim Love. Monday, 1 June 2015. I only recently found out that an original version of Blake's The Tyger. Is in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge - metres from where I work. It's one of the most anthologised poems. If The Tyger. When students study Blake in more depth, they discover that he intended the pictures and poems to be seen together. The pictures add new meanings to the words, and don't always support them. Moreover, when the poems from Songs of Innocence and Experience. Eaves...

See Litref Reviews - a rationale. Saturday, 1 August 2015. Don Paterson" by Natalie Pollard (ed) (Edinburgh University Press, 2014).

Literary News and Views by Tim Love. Sunday, 25 March 2018. Where can UK people send literary stories? In 2017, almost 50% more short story collections were sold than in 2016. But collections by Tom Hanks and Jojo Moyes accounted for nearly a quarter of sales, so things haven't changed much. Before you try to get a book published you need to publish some stories elsewhere. But where? If you live in the UK it's worth trying to break into the local markets first - more chances for networking and readings.

Literary articles by Tim Love. Wednesday, 6 December 2017. You've got further than many budding writers - you've actually written something. Pat yourself on the back. But you know there's more work ahead. How much more depends on you. People have different attitudes to rewriting. For some people it's checking for typos and removing some superfluous words. That's certainly part of the task (often called "polishing"), and we'll do a few exercises on that topic, but that's the easy bit. You write a script t...

Two reviews have appeared so far, by Tony Williams. They point out the stories' similarities and differences so I'll deal with those issues first, adding some observations of my own. In many of the stories a person journeys (often by train) in an attempt to make sense of something. "Method of Loci" could have been the collection's title. Tony Willi...
