The Tom Barber Trilogy by Forrest Reid – Volumes I and II

Edited with a study and notes

Michael Matthew Kaylor

Despite his sixteen novels, his two autobiographies, and a range of other works, despite being a founding member of the Irish Academy of Letters and an honorary Doctor of Letters of Queen's University in Belfast, and despite his novel Young Tom being awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, the Ulster novelist Forrest Reid (1875-1947) closely borders both oblivion and canonicity. However, this author, who has been aptly dubbed the "Arch-Priest of a Minor Cult," deserves reconsideration and perhaps a place in the pantheon of English letters.
 

The Tom Barber Trilogy – composed of the very distinct novels Uncle Stephen (1931), The Retreat; or, The Machinations of Henry (1936), and Young Tom; or, Very Mixed Company (1944) – is Reid's magnum opus. The present scholarly edition presents those three novels as clean texts (in Volume I), followed by a study of Forrest Reid and explanatory notes for the trilogy (in Volume II).
Volume I (656 pages; ISBN-10: 193455586X; ISBN-13: 978-1934555866)
Volume II (628 pages; ISBN-10: 1934555878; ISBN-13: 978-1934555873)

Lad's Love: An Anthology of Uranian Poetry and Prose – Volume I and II
Edited and introduced by

Michael Matthew Kaylor

These two volumes constitute the first substantial anthology of paederastic poetry and prose compiled and published since Men and Boys: An Anthology in 1924. It is a representative sampling of the diverse paederastic texts written by the English Uranians, ranging from William Johnson’s Ionica (1858) to Samuel Elsworth Cottam’s Cameos of Boyhood (1930). Forty-seven writers of Uranian poetry and prose have been included in this anthology.

Volume I (632 pages; ISBN-10: 1934555959; ISBN-13: 978-1934555958)
Volume II (640 pages; ISBN-10: 1934555967; ISBN-13: 978-1934555965)

 Fletcherian Dramatic Achievement
 A Study in the Mature Plays of John Fletcher (1579-1625)

This book analyzes plays written by the leading Jacobean dramatist John Fletcher and his collaborators. Until very recently, it was only the early plays, co-authored by John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont, that were given any attention by academics. This book argues that it is only in the final decade of Fletcher’s prolific life that his drama may be spoken of as mature, starting with the plays he collaborated on with Shakespeare to the final grand plays written in the genre of the Baroque tragicomedy.

Us-Them-Me: The Search for Indentity in Canadian Literature and Film, Nous-Eux-Moi: La quete de l'identité dans la littérature et le cinéma canadiens
Canada represents a unique environment for studying literary and cultural questions of the relations between various linguistic, ethnocultural, social and individual identities. Both Anglophone Canadian and Francophone Canadian literatures, as well as the film, have been impacted by issues including images of one's self and the other, identity and alterity, integration and exclusion, hybridization and the mixing of values. The book develops a synthesis based on an analysis of contrasting points of view: Anglophone Canadian and Francophone Canadian as well as the points of view of Canada's First Nations, immigrant communities and other groups. Literary works are examined through the prism of cultural identity models ranging from conceptualized and theoretically based discourses to non conceptualized poses; the structuring and dynamics of systems of values is examined using integrating and separatist factors. Literature is placed into a broader, non literary context: on the one hand issues relating to identity, alterity, universalism and multiculturalism will be placed within a general historical philosophical framework that will allow the better development of general principles; on the other hand, those cultural areas where the language barrier is less pronounced and which offer the possibility of a more unified approach, i.e. the visual arts and cinema, is also examined. This approach allows to show the relationship between diversity and unity.
