	immediacy: The Cornish TrilogyThe Rebel Angels, What's Bred in the Bone, The Lyre of Orpheus
		After being so thoroughly delighted with Davies' Deptford trilogy, I immediately purchased this collection (it was a choice between the Cornish and the Salterton trilogy, and the Cornish won because (1) Dwight Brown recommended it and (2) the store had it).
		But the real issue is a secret manuscript that was purchased by the recently deceased Francis Cornish, whom her advisor, as one-third executor of Cornish's estate, has promised to her as the substance for her doctorate.
		I have purchased the Salterton trilogy, which is begging from the shelf to be read, and I expect that you will see mention of it in the next installment.

		As a tribute to their benefactor, the Cornish Foundation allows to have the opera completed by a filthy waif of a girl who goes by the name of Schnak and is being hailed as a musical prodigy, with the libretto penned by Simon Darcourt, Spook's resident Anglican priest.
		The Cornish Trilogy is a beautiful work of fiction as Robertson Davies takes the reader on a trip across Europe and North America to unravel the mysteries of the rather unusual Cornish family.
		Davies's Cornish trilogy should be read by anyone with an interest in the philosophy of art -- questions of attribution, forgery and fakery, and authenticity pervade all three novels, which deal with literature, painting and music respectively.

		At the backbone of this trilogy is a mystery, yet Davies' prose is so sprawling (yet concise!...all three books total under 900 pages!) that the mystery seems almost peripheral to everything else that is going on.
		The event that provides the basis for the trilogy is Staunton's death sixty years later, when his Cadillac mysteriously plunges off a pier into a harbor.
		The problem with The Manticore is that it is the middle novel, without the refreshing newness of the opening and lacking the rush towards the climax of the concluding novel.

	Recent Ph.D. Dissertations Concerning Hermeticism or Hermetism
		Abstract: In this dissertation, I focus on Robertson Davies' use of mythic themes, symbols, and patterns to structure the narrative and illuminate the development of the characters in his Cornish Trilogy.
		In chapter 1, I delineate the four methods employed: allusions that connect characters to mythic systems, discovery and appropriation by the characters of mythic motifs, personification of mythic figures on a penultimate plane, and the structuring of the action and narrative through a comprehensive mythos.
		I discuss the protagonist, Francis Cornish, as one who attempts to understand his art and his life in terms of the Grail quest and, in particular, how he embodies his inner vision in a painting, The Marriage at Cana.

		Never will I forget Dunstan Ramsay's obsession with saints, or with Mary Dempster, to his mind the most perfect of saints; never will I forget the story of how Paul Dempster, uneducated carny and abused child, was tempered like a bottle in the smoke to become Magnus Eisengrim, the magnificent, the nonpareil.
		This trilogy should be appreciated by all manner of readers as it has so much to offer and is so easy to read.
		Robertson Davies fashioned other fine works after Fifth Business (The Cornish trilogy is sublime) but there is an aura that surrounds the Deptford Trilogy which is unique in literature.

		I read Davies’ Deptford Trilogy about a year ago, and I have enjoyed reading the Cornish Trilogy more (thanks are due to Paul Baxter, who first introduced me to Davies’ work).
		This probably is largely a result of the fact that my reading of the Deptford Trilogy was interrupted on a number of occasions and also put on hold for a period of time; the Deptford trilogy seems to me to be the better of the two trilogies.
		Salterton, btw, is a bit more lighthearted than the other two trilogies, and had you asked, I would have recommended starting there, but its all good, as they say.

		Although his first love was drama and he had achieved some success with his occasional humorous essays, Davies found greater success in fiction.
		His first three novels, which later became known as The Salterton Trilogy, were Tempest-Tost (1951), Leaven of Malice (1954) (which won the Stephen Leacock Award for Humour), and A Mixture of Frailties (1958).
		When Davies retired from his position at the University, his seventh novel, a satire of academic life, The Rebel Angels (1981), was published, followed by What's Bred in the Bone (1985).

	Cunning Man Review
		The novels fit generally into trilogies: The Salterton Trilogy, The Deptford Trilogy, and The Cornish Trilogy, in order of composition, represent his first nine novels.
		All his novels, however, can be read independently (although at least The Deptford Trilogy probably reads best in order.) To say, as I have said, that his novels are "about Canada" is a laughable understatement, however.
		I tried to summarize the subjects which Davies covered once for a friend, thinking it would be a tidy list, and I kept going and going: Theatre, Music, Vaudeville, Toronto, Hagiography, Jungian Psychology, Art (particularly "The Old Masters"), aging, medicine, Canadian politics, war, finance, schools (both Canadian "boarding schools" and Universities), and on and on.

	Robertson Davies: The Deptford Trilogy - Palimpsest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Silliness aside (although it is a very large beard), it has since come to my attention that several respected Palimpsesters speak highly of Davies, including Oryx, Colyngbourne and Digger, here for example.
		Given the essence of something vaguely magical (but not vulgarly otherworldly) which sprinkles the text, I can't help wondering if the new covers of the British/Canadian editions won't lose something of the books in their dryness, certainly compared with the slightly richer and more colourful new US editions out next year.
		Hope you enjoy the rest of the trilogy as much and look forward to reading your comments, particularly on The MAnticore.

		Even though we cannot look forward, ever, to the enchantment of reading a sequel to his 1994 "The Cunning Man" (the opening novel of the projected Toronto Trilogy) -- mirabile dictu, Robertson Davies still has magic up his sleeve.
		If you are already acquainted with Robertson Davies, the above announcement should suffice -- indeed, should cause you to go camp on the doorstep of your bookstore until the first shipment of this new volume arrives.
		If you are not yet acquainted with Davies -- his Deptford Trilogy, his Salterton Trilogy, his Cornish Trilogy, or his 20 or so other volumes of stories, plays, and essays -- then "The Merry Heart" is a good introduction.

	And All Shall be Well - by Eve Phillips
		Then the train had rattled over the miles, sweeping through the red earth of Devon towards Cornwall and putting in motion the events that were to lead me, less than a decade later to a lush green valley in Austria.
		And All Shall Be Well is the first of a trilogy of novels and follows Francis Lindsey's journey through childhood to middle age; from a suddenly orphaned ten-year-old to an established artist.
		How the aftermath of the Holocaust helps shape his life and loves; his struggles to be faithful to the woman he eventually marries and his progress as an artist is the core of the book.

		The Rebel Angels starts off Robertson Davies's Cornish Trilogy by introducing us to a cast of characters and a mood that are the raw material of the collection of related stories.
		This first book of the trilogy serves as a kind of under-painting for the books that follow.
		If you are like me, you will find that you remember less of the details of this book than you feel that you have been reminded of the characters and experiences of your own life that sometimes too easily pass from notice.

		These quintessentially medieval concepts raise fascinating questions about the conflict between personal and private morality, about the representation of women, and about the construction of both identity and gender.
		Finally, we will explore the survival of the Arthurian legend into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; it is transformed into a Victorian morality tale by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and forms the foundation of Robertson Davies' Cornish Trilogy.
