In my previous post I wrote about some of my writings before I recently became Simon the Writer. Here are some more I have dug up.
Even before I became an English teacher, I studied Scandinavian Literature at the University of East Anglia and University College London in the 1970s. This article dates from those days. It was originally published in the literary journal Scandinavica in 1982 but was resussitated more recently on the official Olav Duun website: http://olavduun.no/aktuelt/characterisation-and-narrative-structure-olav-duun (accessed 18/08/2020).
This won’t be of great interest to many people outside my circle of friends in Norway. This is for them.
Another obscure piece of writing of which I am trotzdem stolz - nevertheless proud - is this review written in German of George Orwell’s 1984: http://www.marxists.de/culture/orwell/andrewde.htm (accessed 18/08/2020). It orininally appeared in the February/March 1984 issue of Klassenkampf (Nr.21). It was resussitated here by REDS- Die Roten on 04/05/2002.
Anyone there who reads German? With a left-wing mind frame?
My third offer - possibly a little more accessible - is an account of the development in American popular culture of the legend of Stagger Lee: The story of the story of Stagger Lee – International Socialism. It was published in issue 154 of the International Socialism Journal and posted here online on 05/04/2017 (accessed 18/08/2020).
I originally used the idea for a content-based lesson for teaching English as a foreign language and it appeared in Humanising Language Teaching Year 11; Issue 1 February 2009
That version is no longer directly available online.
