three school stories after rowling

by elizabeth veldon

/
1.

about

this album came about after a discussion of the use of the public school story form by j k rowling in the harry potter books.

i contend that this is, at heart, a reactionary form and share kipling's insight that it was implicated in the death toll of world war one as evidenced by his retelling of some of the stalky stories within the setting of books which explicitly discussed this event

there was a fault with my audio interface and this produced some unexpected sounds but i have chosen to keep these in the recording

these are the titles of each movement

1. 'there was not a penny to choose between any of them
for thoroughness, efficiency, and a certain clarity of outline that
stamps the work of the artist' [from 'the impressionists' by kipling]

2. 'and I must trouble you with an old man's wheezing waffle before we sink our teeth into our delicious feast. What a year it has been' [from 'harry potter and the sorcerer's stone' by j k rowling]

3. 'little I'd ever teach a son, but hitting,
shooting, war, hunting, all the arts of hurting.
well, that's what I learnt,—that, and making money
[from 'a terre' by wilfred owen]
