Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1The author of some forty novels, a number of plays, volumes of verse, historical, critical and autobiographical works, an editor and translator, Jack Lindsay is clearly an extraordinarily prolificwritera fact which can easily obscu

9、re his very real distinction in some of the areaso which hehas ventured. His co-editorship of Viin Sydneyhe early 1920s, for example, is still felt tohaveroduced a significant period in Australian culture, while his study of Kickens written in1930 is highly regarded. But of all his work it is probab

10、ly the novel to which he has made his most significant contribution.Since 1916 when, to use his own words in Fanfrolico and after, he “reached bedrock,” Lindsay has maained a consistent Marxist viewpoand it is this viewpowhich if nothingelse has guaranteed his novels a minor but certainly not neglig

Feelingt “the historical novel is a formt has a limitless future as a fightingweapon and as a cultural instrument” (New Masses, January 1917), Lindsayattempted toformulate his Marxist convictions in fiction mainly sethe past: particularly in his trilogy inEngl

12、ish novels1929, Lost Birthright, and Men of Forty-Eight (written in 1919, the Chartist andrevolutionary uprisings in Europe). Basically these works set out, with most sucshevolume, to vivify the historical traditions behind English Solism and attempted to demonstratet it stood, in Lindsays words, fo

After the war Lindsaycontinued to write mainly about the presenttrying with varying degrees of sucs to come toterms with the unradical political realities oft-war England. In the series of novels knowncollectively as“The British W

15、ay,”and beginning with Betrayed Spring in 1933, it seemed atas if his solution was simply to resort to more and more obvious authorial manipulation and heavy-handed didacticism. Fortunay, however, from Revolt of the Sons, this pros wasreversed, as Lindsay began to show an increasing tendency to igno

16、re party solutions, to failto give anything but the mosementary political consciousness to his characters, sot in hislatest (and what appears to be his last) contemporary novel, Choice of Times, his hero, Colin, ends on a note of desperation: “Everything must be different, I cant live this way any l

32、 will not be an easy task. Butthe most difficult task of all is to devise the ultimate and final sanction to replace the ultimatesanction ofgerthe economic whip of the old dispensation. Moreover, in a society whichrightly rejects the pretence of separating economics from politics and denies the auto

33、nomy of theeconomic order,t sanction can be found only in some conscious act of society.

34、abour resting in some arm ofsociety, whether in anan of se or of trade unions. I shouldbe horrified if I identifiedthis prospect with a return to the conditions of the pre-capitalist era. The economic whip oflaissez-faire undoubtedly represented an advance on the serf-like conditions oft period:hatr

35、elative sense, the claim of capitalism to have established for thetime asystem of “free”labour deserves respect. But the direction of labour as exercised in Great Britainhe SecondWorld War seems to me to represent as great an advance over the economic whip of the heyday ofcapitalist private entrise

36、as the economic whip represented ovre-capitalist serfdom.Much depends on the effectiveness of theitive incentives, much, too, on the solidarityand self-discipline of the community. After all, under the system of laissez-faire capitalism the fearofger remained an ultimate sanction rathern a continuou

37、sly operative force. It would havebeenolerable if the worker had been normally driven to work by conscious fear ofger; nor,except in the early and worst days of the Industrial Revolution, didt normally happen.Similarlyhe society of the future theer of direction should be regarded not so much as anin

38、strument of daily use but rather as an ultimate sanction held in reserve where votary methodsfail.

According to Dr. Dai Davies,of the Plastic S

43、urgery Partnership in Hammersmith, the majority of cosmetic surgery patients are not chasing physical perfection. Rather, they are driven to fantastic lengths to improve their appearance by a desire to look normal. “What we all crave is to look normal, and normal is what isprescribed by the advertis

44、ing media and other external pre res. They give us a perception ofwhat is physically acceptable and we feel we must look liket.”In America, the debate is no longer about whether surgery is normal; rather, it centres onwhat age people should be before going under the knife.
