Résumé

Swinging the Maelstrom is the story of a musician enduring existence in the Bellevue psychiatric hospital in New York. Written during his happiest and most fruitful years, this novella reveals the deep healing influence that the idyllic retreat at Dollarton had on Lowry. This long-overdue scholarly edition will allow scholars to engage in a genetic study of the text and reconstruct, step by step, the creative process that developed from a rather pessimistic and misanthropic vision of the world as a madhouse (The Last Address, 1936), via the apocalyptic metaphors of a world on the brink of Armageddon (The Last Address, 1939), to a world that, in spite of all its troubles, leaves room for self-irony and humanistic concern (Swinging the Maelstrom, 1942-1944).

À propos des auteurs

Malcolm Lowry was born in 1909 in northwest England, near Liverpool. During the 1930s he lived in London, New York, Mexico, and Los Angeles before moving to British Columbia in 1939. This move marked the start of a startlingly fertile period in Lowry's career as a 20th-century writer. His masterpiece, Under the Volcano (1947), is one of the last great modernist novels. Vik Doyen (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) studied at the University of Pennsylvania.
He did archival research in the Malcolm Lowry Collection at the University of British Columbia for his doctoral dissertation. Miguel Mota is an associate professor of English at the University of British Columbia. He has published on numerous 20th-century and contemporary writers and filmmakers, including Malcolm Lowry, Derek Jarman, Jeanette Winterson and Mike Leigh. Chris Ackerley is a professor of English at the University of Otago, New Zealand.
His research focus is modernism, and his speciality is annotation, especially of the writings of Malcolm Lowry and Samuel Beckett. Patrick A. McCarthy is the author or editor of 11 books and monographs, over 50 scholarly articles, and numerous reference articles and reviews. He authored several studies on Lowry, including Forests of Symbols: World, Text, and Self in Malcolm Lowry's Fiction; Malcolm Lowry's "La Mordida": A Scholarly Edition; and "Under the Volcano" in The Literary Encyclopedia. Paul Tiessen is the founding editor of the Malcolm Lowry Newsletter (1977-1984) and The Malcolm Lowry Review (1984-2002).
In addition to scholarly articles and book chapters on the work of Malcolm Lowry, Tiessen wrote the introduction for Malcolm Lowry and Margerie Bonner Lowry's Notes on a Screenplay for F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night. Cover art: "Night" (1938) by Philip Surrey reproduced with permission by Nicholas Simpson
