She certainly had criminal form because apparently she had previously arranged for her mother-in-law, St Ludmila, to be strangled.Īlthough Wenceslas was not a king when he died, later in the tenth century he was posthumously styled Wenceslas I by Otto I, the Holy Roman Emperor. Their mother, Drahomira, may also have been involved. He was murdered in a plot that is thought to have been hatched by his brother, the aptly named Boleslav the Cruel. Fortunately, bearing in mind its seasonal nature, the carol fails to mention the most memorable fact about the real Wenceslas, which is that he was assassinated in his native Bohemia in 935. The carol does concern a real person – Wenceslas, Duke of Bohemia, who lived in the tenth century. But most of us haven’t a clue whether this is simply a story or if there really was a Good King Wenceslas. We sing about him every Christmas in the eponymous carol, which tells us that the ‘good king’ and his page ventured out in the snow on the feast of Stephen (26 December) to take food, wine and logs to a man who was struggling to collect firewood. ![]() In this extract from The Book of Christmas, Jane Struthers demystifies the protagonist of a popular Christmas carol. ![]() ![]() Unlike real people, characters do as they are told and do not talk back so far.ĭespite her international success, Joy Fielding has often been noted as a writer who is better known, and more popular, in foreign countries rather than in her native Canada. She later returned to Toronto and to writing, her first love, saying that she felt writing is the only thing that gives her “complete control”. She later moved to Los Angeles where she found a part in an episode of the Gun-smoke, a Western drama. She continued to take part in drama throughout her college career, acting in over twenty productions at the University of Toronto. ![]() Joy studied English Literature at the University of Toronto in 1966 before taking up acting full-time. She continued to write throughout her teenage years and by the time she graduated high school, had decided to become a writer. The plays she wrote as a youngster were also met with marginal success and were acted out by herself and her friends for a captive audience of parents. She sent her first story to the Jack and Jill magazine, although it was rejected. Joy Fielding had always enjoyed writing, saying that it came easy to her. ![]() Originally named Joy Tepperman, she changed her surname to Fielding after 18th century novelist, Henry Fielding. ![]() ![]() Joy Fielding is a Canadian writer and actress who was born and raised the the city of Toronto, Ontario. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It was a witty academic memoir based on her encounters and discoveries of Russian literature and those who, like herself, were wholly absorbed by their close encounters with the great novels. Her first book, from 2010, was neatly titled The Possessed, referring not only to the first English-language translation of the title of Dostoevsky’s novel, but also to those captivated by Russian literature. Her formative influences, beyond being a Turkish American brought up in New Jersey, seem to have been her years at Harvard as an undergraduate and later as graduate student at Stanford, two of the most powerful and richest universities in the United States. ![]() With her gift for descriptive phrases and epigrammatic, fact-filled, aphoristic prose style it is perhaps inevitable that since her early thirties she has been a staff writer for The New Yorker.
