FICTIONAL PORTRAITS OF HAWKER IN WORKS BY OTHER AUTHORS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oscar and Lucinda, <\/em>a novel by Peter Carey. Faber & Faber, 2001. The character of the Reverend Hugh Stratton is based on Hawker and some scenes in the film version were shot in and around the Old Vicarage, Morwenstow. The characters of Oscar, and his father Theophilus Hopkins, were inspired by Edmund Gosse\u2019s autobiography, Father and Son,<\/em> and as a result the landscape and place names in the early part of the novel (e.g. \u2018Hennacombe Cliff\u2019) are a peculiar blend of North Cornwall and Torbay.<\/p>\n

This Way to the Tomb, <\/em>a play by Ronald Duncan. Included in Collected Plays, <\/em>Rupert Hart-Davis, 1971. Duncan lived for forty years at Marsland and Welcombe and This Way to the Tomb, <\/em>written in the 1940s, was his first play. In his introduction he explains how he had been asked to write something that could be performed in the open without any scenery. \u2018But I lacked a subject. This was given to me accidentally a few months later, when T. S. Eliot suggested to me that I should call on Michel St Denis. In his flat I idly picked up a book of reproductions of Hieronymus Bosch and was arrested by his St Anthony meditating with an old sow at his feet. The apparent incongruity of the Saint\u2019s companion revived two images in my mind. The first was the story of the Reverend Stephen Hawker, who used to walk over the cliffs from Morwenstowe to Welcombe with a lop-eared black sow at his heels. When asked why he did so, he replied that \u201cbeing a priest he liked to have a real Christian as a companion to talk to\u201d. The second association was more immediate: a few years previously I had spent some time living with Gandhi at Segoan, his Ashram near Wardha, and had been fascinated by the various facets of the Mahatma.\u2019 (I can\u2019t find Duncan\u2019s version of the story of Hawker\u2019s pig, Gyp, in The Life and Letters<\/em>, but he was as inventive as Hawker himself when it came to setting down a lively narrative.)<\/p>\n

Sweet and Twenty, <\/em>3 vols, a novel by Edward James Mortimer Collins. Hurst and Blackett, 1875. (Also available new, in three volumes from the British Library Historical Collection digitisation project, via Amazon.) In his book, The West Country as a Literary Invention, <\/em>Simon Trezise describes the character of \u2018Canon Tremaine\u2019 as one of the most vivid and accurate contemporary portraits of Hawker.<\/p>\n

– The Vicar\u2019s Wife<\/em>, by Lois I Hartman, is a novel based on the life of Hawker\u2019s first wife, Charlotte. For more information see \u2018BOOKS\u2019 pages.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
