THE EDUCATION OF GEORGE HARTLEY
Contents:
Pity poor George Hartley. He's eighteen, chubby, and no plans for the summer except to mope about in his parent's house and rack up scores on his video. It's a truism that the Higher Education landscape has undergone huge change in the last few years, and those of us who work in senior schools spend, of course.
They became a couple only later, in After buying a handful of cut-price literary magazines, George decided that they should start a poetry magazine in Hull. After dismissing 'Poetry Hull' as a title for sounding too provincial, they settled for Jean's idea of 'Listen'.
Ohio University
Having written to Ezra Pound and received an encouraging rejection, they started publishing 'Listen' and quoted his reply on their leaflets: Birdie no sing in cage. Can I serve you in any other way? Jean's second daughter, named Alison, was born in , by which time she and George had married. They acquired a typewriter and founded The Marvell Press.

Jean and George were particularly struck by the poems of Philip Larkin and when they decided to publish a volume of poems, George and Jean were united in choosing to ask Philip Larkin. He assented, his only reservation being that having just been appointed Librarian at Hull University he did not want a link between his life as a poet and his profession of librarian.
The Hartleys reassured him there would be no local publicity. When Larkin moved to Hull in , the Hartleys became his first friends and most weekends he would cycle from Hull to Hessle to have tea with them.
Larkin took an active part in the publication process for 'The Less Deceived', about the nuts and bolts of which the Hartleys knew very little. Since they had limited resources, the book was published by subscription.
The book was a great critical success and gradually became a best-seller. Snodgrass and an expanded reprint of Ezra Pound's memoir of Gaudier-Brzeska followed at intervals. They inaugurated it with an L. Here her association with the Marvell Press ended, though Larkin remained Jean's friend until he died in She also remained friends with Maeve Brennan and many others from the poet's circle of acquaintances.
Facts and Figures
One of the most incredible professors I've ever had. He is a wonderful man, and he makes the class interesting, humorous and enjoyable. He is a very nice man but wasn't the teacher for me i felt the class became less about English and more about other cultures and religions. One of the best people you will ever meet. Professor Hartley is a beautiful, brilliant man. I am taking a class with him for the second time, and he expands and motivates my thinking every time I talk to him.
He has completely changed my outlook on the world and area of interest in English. If you are open to unconventional ideas and reading lists, Professor Hartley is an excellent choice.
Nice guy, approachable, but not the best of teachers. Has small group discussions that are supposed to segue into a big discussion but the segue never happens. Needs to give background info rather than assuming his students are theory heads to start with.
Does not seem very interested in teaching either. If you have an alternative don't go for it. Bad at giving alot of information about his expectations from students but good at responding to emails. Professor Hartley sometimes deviates from what one would expect from a class based on the book we were currently reading, but the integration of multi-media really works to the student's advantage. He expects a lot, but is willing to clarify if a student doesn't understand. Competent in the field. Enjoyed his class so much!
This teacher has no idea how to teach.
