MUSING001: George Woodcock Memorial
Tribute to the writer, including the poem, 'Black Flag'.
http://bi.org/~doug/musings/musing001.html

Extractions: George Woodcock died on the 28th January 1995, and I only found out the other day [very end of February 1995]. This is a short tribute to the person who wrote the first book which made a major impact on my political ideas. So who was he? Well, he was a poet, a writer, a Notable Figure in Canadian Literature and an anarchist. He wrote more than a hundred books, using the same battered old typewriter for them all. One of these books was Anarchism: A History of Libertarian Ideas and Movements , and it was this book which I read at an impressionable young age and convinced me that anarchism was actually a pretty good idea. Like the author, the book is not without detractions. The first edition, written in 1960/1 (Penguin 1963), characterised anarchism as a movement which was now, for all intents and purposes, finished - to quote Woodcock himself, it "took on a somewhat elegiac tone". The second edition (1985, published 1986) remedied this in the light of the resurgence of anarchism in the late 1960s/70s.

Extractions: Worldwide, he is most well known for his books on the philosophy of anarchism and its history, and for his well-received biography, The Crystal Spirit , on his friend George Orwell. From a national perspective, he was a literary champion, founding the journal Canadian Literature in 1959, finally passing on its editorship eighteen years later. The journal was the first of its kind, and it provided a much-needed place for the exploration and celebration of the works of Canadian literary authors. Ravens and Prophets The Crystal Spirit . He taught at the university into the 1970s, and was awarded an honourary DLitt by UBC in 1977 (he received 5 other honourary degrees from other universities).

http://www.canlit.ca/resources/martin.html

Extractions: George Woodcock Resources Canadian Travel Writing and George Woodcock By Carol Martin Story telling and travel writing are inexorably linked. The earliest forms of story no doubt included first-person accounts of traveling somewhere new, seeing unusual sights, and meeting strange new people. The discovery of Canada is a long series of travel stories from the Norse sagas, to the journals of such men as Samuel Hearne, Alexander Mackenzie, and Sir John Franklin, to the present with accounts each year, in one form or another, of the experiences of adventurers or researchers retracing the routes of earlier explorers, or trying to establish just exactly where Franklin's body might be found. Writers such as Germaine Warkentin and Margaret Atwood have written of thefascination of these stories and their importance in the development of the Canadian literaryimagination. Until quite recently, listings for Canadian travel writing in bibliographic resources included only these tales of explorers and other foreign visitors to the country. It was as though there had been no body of work by Canadian writers that could be included in this genre. As it happens this was far from the case.

Extractions: George Woodcock lectured in English at the University of British Columbia during the 1950s and 1960s, and edited the critical quarterly Canadian Literature from 1959 to 1977. Born in Winnipeg, he grew up in Shropshire and began his writing career in London. In 1949, he married the artist Ingeborg Linzer, and that same year returned to Canada. After a few years on Vancouver Island, they made their home in Vancouver. A friend and colleague in England of such famous modern writers as Julian Symons, Mulk Raj Anand, and George Orwell, he became friends in Canada with such literary and artistic figures as Margaret Laurence, Margaret Atwood, Al Purdy, and Jack Shadbolt. Often called "Canada's foremost man of letters," Woodcock was the author and editor of over 120 books, several hundred essays, 2 dozen radio plays, and scores of talks and reviews. He enjoyed several roles: social historian, cultural commentator, literary critic, poet, translator, biographer, travel writer, social activist (he founded, with his wife, the Tibetan Refugee Organization and Canada-India Village Aid, and he was instrumental in setting up The Writers' Development Trust), and articulate theorist of anarchism and other libertarian movements. Internationally renowned, he helped establish the high profile now enjoyed by Canadian writers, he charted the history of social ideals, and he worked tirelessly for a better world.

http://www.web.net/blackrosebooks/woodcock.htm

Extractions: [Return to Catalogue] George Woodcock [1912 - 1995] Aphra Behn William Godwin Peter Kropotkin Pierre Joseph Proudhon ... The Collected Works of Peter Kropotkin was a sad year due to the death of our beloved friend and comrade George Woodcock, who was admired and celebrated by Canada's literati for his tremendous outpouring of work in the area of literature. A person of unquenchable curiosity whose annual output was indefatigable, whose prolific drive and commitment exhausted us younger folk when we received a letter from him indicating work in progress on another new book or subject-matter. Woodcock was an author of international renown, and an editor, poet, critic, and essayist. But in everything he wrote and said the leitmotif would always show the quest of human beings for genuine freedom and if the subject-matter on hand permitted he would also show how freedom would manifest itself in social organization through solidarity, co-operation, mutual aid. Such would be his approach whether he was writing travelogues, histories, biographies, literature. Woodcock was profoundly educated politically and consequently everything he engaged himself in was carefully selected. This approach, and philosophical perspective was not generally understood by most of his admirers in the world of the arts since most literati are politically illiterate in this day and age, unfortunately. Above all George Woodcock was an anarchist, one who enriched this movement of ideas in a very significant way. Principled yet undogmatic, he had strong positions yet was tolerate of other approaches to libertarian change. Like all well known anarchists he was not popular within the movement. He published over 140 books in his lifetime, and he probably had as many more to write.

http://www.web.net/blackrosebooks/oscar.htm

Extractions: [Return to Catalogue] Oscar Wilde The Double Image George Woodcock Oscar Wilde was seemingly drawn towards many paradoxes: paganism and Christianity; to be a playboy or a prophet; or to be an aesthetic clown or the creative critic. George Woodcock takes us through this double image of the celebrated personality and writer and attempts to resolve the contradictions. De Profundis , the letter to Lord Douglas, erstwhile lover and nemesis; The Ballad of Reading Gaol , that heartrending dry of pain from the universal prison. The paradox: this is the same man who wrote frothy plays like The Importance of Being Earnest and the manifesto, The Souls of Man Under Socialism , which is included in this book, a work which socialists do not take seriously because they have difficulty envisioning a non-authoritarian society. Oscar Wilde could. In reality, he expressed an anarchist, individualist vision, straight, thus coming close to unraveling his own, and our paradox. "George Woodcock has been variously described as “quite possibly the most civilized man in Canada,” “a great human being,” and “a kind of John Stuart Mill of dedication to intellectual excellence and the cause of human liberty.”
