Bernard Hill (17 December 1944 – 5 May 2024;aged 79) was an English actor. He is known for playing Théoden, King of Rohan, in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Captain Edward Smith in Titanic, and Luther Plunkitt, the Warden of San Quentin Prison, in the Clint Eastwood film True Crime.

Hello from Eskilstuna, Sweden!

Well, I've fallen quite far behind, and I'm afraid I'll never catch up! I wanted to share a few tidbits from my week away last week.

After the kids and Eric and I parted ways on Sunday, I believe I told you that I spent one more night in London and then the next morning I took the train to Nottingham. Once I arrived there, my colleague Andrew met me and he took me first to the University of Nottingham and from there we went in his car about 25 minutes away to Eastwood, which is where D. H. Lawrence was from. I've been studying D. H. Lawrence since my master's degree, when I wrote my thesis on his novel The Plumed Serpent. Lawrence and his wife Frida were given property in New Mexico by Mabel Dodge Luhan and I've long been fascinated by his New Mexico and Mexico period. Anyway, I've been an elected officer in the D. H. Lawrence Society of North America (DHLSNA) for over 20 years and a chapter in my book The Pluralist Imagination concerns him and I've written several articles about him. But I am nowhere near the eminent scholar that some of these people who focus almost primarily on him are. But, Andrew, who is one of the leading Lawrence scholars in the world and is the director of the D. H. Lawrence Research Center at the University of Nottingham, long ago promised me that if I was ever in Eastwood, he would take me on a tour. So last Monday was the day I finally got to do that.

I won't detail everything we saw, but one of the most memorable sites was Lawrence's second home, in the series of homes he lived in as a child. It is called The Breach House and it was in lovely condition (it's exterior, anyway), though it is I believe between owners right now. It was a brick home with green trim and Lawrence's father, who was a coal miner, could afford it, but over the next 10 years, they moved once more up the hill, and then once more to the top of the hill, where his mother had a bay window that she loved to look out of. It was in that house that Lawrence's beloved mother died of cancer.

In the afternoon that day, I went into the manuscript collection at University of Nottingham and looked at some papers related to the editing of the Cambridge edition of the collection Mornings in Mexico, which was edited by one of my mentors, Virginia Hyde. This is basically a one-off project I'm doing about her editing of that work. I want to present it at the D. H. Lawrence conference in Mexico City in August, of which I am an organizer. I want to celebrate Virginia's work on that important publication. The papers related to the editing were so interesting, but I don't have time to go into that here! So, if you're curious, hit me up in August!

Monday night, I headed to York via train; my friend Alison, who I was meeting, let me know it was running late. And one of the connections wasn't going to happen So, I had to get a different connection from Grantham. Thank goodness someone was on the ball! Alison and I met at the School of Criticism and Theory at Cornell over 20 years ago. Now, she is a professor at York, as is her husband. I got to see a lot of her over the 3 days I was in York and that was such a delight. On Tuesday, I gave a guest class in David Stirrup's indigenous literature seminar (he is also the director of the Centre for Indigenous and Settler Colonial Studies), and I had the students do a workshop with some archival materials from Gertrude and Raymond Bonnin's archive at Brigham Young University. I have had three grants to work with those papers over the last 15 years, so I'm an expert in what is included in that collection. I shared with the students some materials from the Red Progressive era, specifically related to Gertrude's formation of the citizenship-education entity the National Council of American Indians in 1926.

After my class with the students, I got to go see my friend Alison give a talk. Her book (The Art of Walking in London) just came out 2 weeks ago, and I didn't even know! Her lecture was in the Center for 18th Century Studies, which is housed in a beautiful historic building. Hundreds of years old! As it turns out, the Centre is moving to a different building in the university area because this very antique facility that they have been in just needs a lot of work. Anyway, her talk was filled to the gills in the seminar room. It was such a wonderful atmosphere, so collegial. Her talk about 18th century guidebooks to London, written by foreign visitors, was so compelling. That night, several people who were at her talk went to dinner together to an Italian restaurant in the Old Town in York and we had such a ball.

Finally, on my last day there, Wednesday, David and I gave a conversation together as part of the Modern's Group seminar. Our event was titled "Indigenous Cartographies and the (Cultural) Rhetorics of Mapping: A Conversation." If you heard the U.S. President's inaugural address, you may have heard him invoke Manifest Destiny as something aspirational, which of course flies in the face of many decades of (what I thought was) settled discourse about the legacy impacts and traumas associated with the "taming of the wild frontier." So, our conversation looked at Indigenous map-making histories, both textual and cartographic, and we had lots of compelling images that we shared, discussed between the two of us, and then we opened the floor up for discussion with the audience. It went really well, even though it was a bit freeform despite our lengthy slide deck; I was really a bit nervous about how it was all going to come together. Afterwards, David took me to the train station and I swooped on down to London and got on the Eurostar to Paris.

As if this isn't an exhausting account of an exhausting few days already, I haven't even gotten to the Paris part! I arrived to the hotel that I was staying in, as were many other attendees to the Lawrence conference there, and it was such a nice surprise that as I was rolling up, my friend Kathleen from Malta was arriving back from a late dinner and greeted my cab! I had wanted to meet her in person for years; she and I are part of the planning team for the D. H. Lawrence Happy Hour series, but we've never met in person! We finally did. She is just as great and fun in person as I thought she'd be. The conference was magnificent. Every attendee (about 30 of us) attends every talk, seated around a ring of tables, so everyone can see everyone. What a great atmosphere. I am always so blown away by the eminent Lawrence scholars, but some newly minted Ph.D.s were remarkable, too! My paper was fine, but I haven't had time to focus on bringing it through that final stage to ready-for-submission. Ugh! I hope to get there. Being in Paris for the conference was so fun and I really hope to be able to come back to that conference in a coming year, though it is so hard to fly from the U.S. to Paris for a conference in the middle of Spring term.

And then Friday afternoon, I flew back to Helsinki, took the train to Tampere, and then, just to add more fun to the mix, it was time to the hit the ground running on Saturday morning because our neighbors from the U.S. were there visiting for what would become a super-fun weekend with their three girls -- culminating in a voyage on the Viking cruise-ferry (the "Cinderella") from Helsinki to Stockholm overnight on Sunday night. What a ball we had. More on that soon -- as well as on my two-day visit to Mälardalens universitet, in Eskilstuna, Sweden, from where I write currently -- and from where I sign off. Whew! I can't wait to be reunited with Eric and our kiddos on Thursday after the mandatory Fulbright mid-term meeting on Thursday (and, ohhhh myyy, I will have to broach here in my next post maybe all of the questions I have been getting about the status of Fulbright grants, given the U.S. government's totally ignorant and reckless and shortsighted freezing of funding for Fulbright and other international educational exchange programs; we damn our nation to vulnerability and toxic insularity as a result of cutting off soft-power and global collaboration-building initiatives like Fulbright.)

And the weather in Sweden has been fine, fine, fine! A bit windy -- but dare I say, spring has sprung? In Finland, there are many memes about these early hopes of Springtime, like so:
