A study of the response of English poets to the South African War of 1899-1902Gasser, Brian January 1979 (has links)
This thesis examines the controversial South African War's influence on English poetry, highlighting the individual responses of established poets and drawing on the work of numerous minor verse-writers to define the changing tradition of 'patriotic' and 'war' poetry. Chapter I sketches the historical and social background, noting how events in South Africa assumed great magnitude for contemporaries whose popular Imperialism was severely tried and who made an unprecedented national 'war-effort'. In Chapter II the late-nineteenth-century tradition of 'patriotic' poetry is identified, through analysis of verse-anthologies and contemporary critical opinion, and by briefly studying the war's lesser poetry which confirmed this mood of Art-for-Morality's-sake writing. Chapter III describes Kipling's personal affection for South Africa, and the political aspirations which were related to his dedicated 1890s' verse-lessons. His reactions to the conflict reveal the disillusionment which distanced Kipling from his audience and changed his patriotic and imperialistic teaching. Inflated by the war, 'Rudyard Kiplingism' became a powerful literary movement. Chapter IV explains the discredit brought by Robert Buchanan's 'Hooligan' criticism, Edgar Wallace's 'barrack-room ballad' imitations, and Kipling's own ill-judged verses 'The Absent-Minded Beggar', but also argues that certain soldier-poets usefully exploited his reputation. Chapter V evaluates the contributions of four respected and influential patriotic poets: the 'undistinguished adequacy' of Alfred Austin, Poet Laureate; the strident verses of W.E. Henley; Henry Newbolt's strongly idealistic encouragement and consolation; and William Watson's brave but costly anti-war stance. Chapter VI considers a variety of poets in demonstrating how, while religious sanction for human conflict and empire-building was emphatically re-affirmed, some questioned the principle of War (including Meredith and Hardy) and denounced the sufferings inflicted on the Boers. The strain imposed on fireside poets' customary responses and rhetoric is outlined in Chapter VII, which also discusses the sentiments of Hardy's discontented 'war-poetry' and The Dynasts, before assessing the impact of personal bereavement on A.E. Housman's loyal poetry.

The British advance and Boer retreat through northern Natal, May - June 1900Torlage, Gilbert 11 1900 (has links)
This dissertation deals with the efforts of the British forces
to regain control of northern Natal from the Boers, during the
second quarter of 1900. In March Boer forces had dug themselves
in along the Biggarsberg.
In early May a British force advanced on the Biggarsberg.
Exploiting their numerical superiority and with a turning
movement to their right, the British army forced the Boers to
retire to the Drakensberg in the Majuba area.
There followed a period of re-organisation and preparation during
which General Buller attempted to persuade the Boers to lay down
their arms. When this failed he launched another attack on the
Boer defence line. In quick succession the British force gained
success at Botha's Pass (8 June) and at Alleman's Nek (11 June).
These reverses forced the Boers to retire from their Drakensberg
positions and they thereby relinquished all control of Natal to
the British forces / History / M.A. (History)

Eksperiment en intertekstualiteit: 'n studie van Ingrid Winterbach se Niggie (2002) en die oorlogsdagboek van Jan F.E. Celliers 1899-1902 (1978), asook ander Anglo-Boereoorlog teksteBotha, Maria Elizabeth January 2006 (has links)
This study focuses on the creative adaptation of Anglo-Boer War material in Ingrid Winterbach’s (Lettie Viljoen) Niggie [Cousin] (2002) with specific reference to the Oorlogsdagboek van Jan F.E. Celliers, 1899-1902 [War Diary of Jan F.E. Celliers, 1899-1902] (1978) and other texts written during or shortly after the Anglo Boer War in Dutch, such as Totius’ Vier-en-sestig dae te velde: ‘n Oorlogsdagboek [Sixty Four Days Afield: A War Diary] (1977) and in English, Woman’s Endurance (1904) by A.D.L. and Deneys Reitz’s Commando. A Boer Journal of the Boer War (1929). More recent Afrikaans novels dealing with the same war are also analysed, such as Ons oorlog [Our War] (2000) by Klaas Steytler, Op soek na Generaal Mannetjies Mentz [In Search of General Mannetjies Mentz] (1998) by Christoffel Coetzee and Etienne Leroux’s Magersfontein O! Magersfontein (1976). A literary analysis is done of the novel Niggie, with specific focus on the nature and function of Anglo-Boer War material in Winterbach’s text. The question is posed why there is such a sustained focus and creative adaptation of Anglo-Boer War texts in Winterbach’s oeuvre (especially in Belemmering [Impediment], 1990, Karolina Ferreira, 1993, Buller se plan [Buller’s Plan], 1999, and Niggie [Cousin], 2002)? This novel has a profound effect on the reader a century after the war, because it addresses postcolonial issues and predicaments such as a defragmenting identity, as well as the possible demise of the Afrikaans language and culture, faced by the descendants of those involved in the war a century ago. In her reworking of the past to come to grips with the present, Winterbach confronts difficult South African topics, such as interracial relationships, racism, the relationship with the land, possible language death, gender relationships, the role of the supernatural and the unconscious in everyday life (in the form of dreams and trickster figures), amongst many others. The dissertation offers an intertextual study as well as a literary analyses of the literary techniques used, and the characteristics of this magisterial novel, which deservedly won the Hertzog prize in 2004, the highest accolade possible for an Afrikaans novel. The anomaly of such a novel in 2002 seemingly dwelling on the past, is shown up for what it is: a metaphor for the present and its dilemmas, reflecting the social conflicts existing at present in the crumbling Afrikaans community.

The participation of the Zulus in the Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902Maphalala, Simon Jabulani January 1978 (has links)
submitted in fulfilment or partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of
MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of History of the University of Zululand, South Africa, 1978. / In order to understand the Zulu participation in the AngloBoer
War and the Holkrantz murder in May 1902, it is essential
to trace in broad outline the attitude of the Zulus
towards the white settlers in Natal. the Governmell~ of Natal,
the British Government and the Government of the S.A. Republic
or those subjects of the Transvaal and Natal who becarne
involved in the internal faction struggles in Zululand.
The matter will only become intelligible by explaining the complexity
of those policies which evolved from such contacts
from the time of the arrival of the first white settlers in
1824 to the outbreak of the War in 1899.

'A far greater game' : sport and the Anglo-Boer WarAllen, Dean Colin 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScSportSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Today white South Africans take their sport very seriously and at the tum of the nineteenth
century this was no different. The key difference however was that a war had erupted between
the two Boer Republics (Orange Free State and the Transvaal) and Britain. The Anglo-Boer
War of 1899-1902 was fought for the supremacy of South Africa at a time when sport was
still developing within the country and like other facets of its culture, it too became entwined
within a conflict that was to effect the whole future of Southern Africa.
This socio-historical study is an attempt to explore sport during this era and how it impinged
upon the relationship between Boer and Briton. A pivotal period in South African history, the
account will trace the background and nature of the Anglo-Boer conflict and how a passion
for sport was shared by both sides throughout and beyond the hostilities. Britain had indeed
introduced its sporting codes to South Africa prior to the war and cricket and rugby in
particular were already established within its towns and cities. The origins of both sports will
be examined here including the significance of the first tours which took place between South
Africa and Britain during this time.
The majority of research for this study has been completed in South Africa, predominately
within the Western Cape but also during spells in the Free State and Gauteng. Visits have also
been made to various sources in the UK including Twickenham and Lords. Whilst published
work has been used, concerted efforts have been made throughout to include data obtained
from primary sources. The descriptive nature of the work has also necessitated the
employment of qualitative methods of analysis with data gathered from archive and literary
sources selectively underpinned with information from a number of interviews. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrikaanse Blankes is vandag baie ernstig oor hul sport en aan die einde van die
negentiende eeu was dit ook nie anders nie. Die belangrikste verskil was egter dat 'n oorlog
uitgebreek het tussen die Boererepublieke (Oranje-Vrystaat en die Transvaal) en Brittanje.
Die Anglo-Boereoorlog van 1899-1902 is geveg vir die oppergesag van Suid-Afrika toe sport,
net soos baie ander fasette van die kultuur, steeds besig was om te ontwikkel in die land. Dit
het deel geword van 'n konflik wat die hele toekoms van Suidelike Afrika sou raak.
Hierdie sosio-kulturele studie is 'n poging om sport tydens hierdie era te verken en hoe dit die
verhouding tussen Boer en Brit beïnvloed het. Hierdie was 'n deurslaggewende periode in die
Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis en die studie sal die agtergrond en aard van die Anglo-Boerekonflik
navors en toon hoe 'n passie vir sport gedeel is deur beide partye ten spyte van al die
vyandigheid. Brittanje het inderdaad voor die oorlog sy sportkodes na Suid-Afrika gebring en
veral krieket en rugby was alreeds gevestig in die stede. Die oorsprong van beide sportsoorte
sal hier bestudeer word, insluitend hoe belangrik die eerste toere was wat in hierdie tyd tussen
Suid-Afrika en Brittanje plaasgevind het.
Die meeste navorsing vir hierdie studie is in Suid-Afrika gedoen, hoofsaaklik in die Wes-
Kaap, maar ook, met tye, in die Vrystaat en Gauteng. Besoeke is ook afgelê in verskeie
plekke in die Verenigde Koninkryke, bv. Twickenham en Lords. Terwyl van sekondêre
bronne gebruik gemaak is, is daar deurgaans nougeset te werk gegaan om primêre bronne te
ontsluit. Die beskrywende aard van die werk het ook die gebruik van kwalitatiewe metode van
analise van data genoodsaak. Hierdie data is versamel vanuit argivale en literêre bronne wat
goed ondersteun is deur inligting verkry uit 'n aantalonderhoude.
