Quote: Forget About Mustafa Said: Here is Jane Morris, in person!!!i Before starting to read, I should immediately warn you that this is not at all a critical review/analysis or appraisal of Season of Migration to the North. I have no desire to do so here! And it is certainly not a journalistic investigation into the lives' of real people who might have/ or have not inspired some of the novelist's characters. I believe such search is needless; these sorts of discoveries add nothing to our understanding of any literary work.i However, sometime names of characters work as cultural signifiers or references, especially when such names carry a significant cultural relevance; and this is where it could be important to know that there is a real Jane Morris out there! For a writer to choose to name one of his/her main character Mustafa Said or Jane Morris, this can be a very arbitrary act but it can also be a very intentional choice. If the writer gives the name Faust to one of his/her characters there is no way we as readers can escape certain associations and meanings evoked by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his famous novel by the same name. The Satanic Verses shows a blunt example of the power of the name, in Rushdie's choice of the name Mahound.i That's been said, I will again relieve myself from the task of looking at the issues involved here in a more serious critical approach… Here, I'm writing rather in a playful way to look into how al-Tayb Salih found a name for one of his main characters, namely Jane Morris!i It was in 1999 when I was making a short docu-drama on the nature of narrative and the notion of author. The central question in the film was: What is Fiction & What is Realty? and I used al-Tayeb Salih as an example because of the complex way he approached the issue of identity in regard to the character of Mustafa Said. In my film, I was arguing that there are no boundaries between fiction and reality (Roland Barthes was so dominant in our film school; you couldn't walk around without a copy of Camera Lucida!i)i Anyway, I had to do some casting and get somebody to play the role of an actress who is playing the role of Jane Morris! (it was a bit of a complicated student film!i)i I was very obsessed with the idea of fakery in Art, so I was ready to do all sort of things in that film, since it was all fake anyway: my film was a documentary about fiction as well as a fiction about documentary! So it was my intention to create a documentary that is not a documentary, a fiction that is not a fiction, a Jane Morris who is not a Jane Morris, etc.! I even went as far as faking al-Tayeb Salih, the writer himself!i But when I actually bumped into Jane Morris (yes, her, personally !) I was a bit disappointed! I somehow had an image of her in mind and that image was not very accurate! I thought she would look more mysterious and maybe slightly mad or just different.i But when I read more, both about her personal life and the history she was rooted in, it all made sense!i Well, here is Jane Morris:i Who is Jane Morris?i Jane Morris was the wife of Pre-Raphaelite painter/poet William Morris, who formed with a group of otherartists the movement of Pre-Raphaelite painters. She was also, at the same time, the lover of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, another member of the group. Quote: After the death of Rossetti's wife, Elizabeth Sidal, Rossetti fell passionately and obsessively in love with Jane Morris, using her constantly as the model for his paintings. Jane Morris came to epitomize the Pre-Raphaelite image of woman--very much in contrast to the slight, blond, fragile, corseted female form that typified conventional Victorian female beauty.i So, Jane Morris was indeed different! What's more? There was the link to the name Dante (both the name of the painter and the name of the writer of Devine Comedy!) According to Jonathan Jones:i Quote: The Victorians rediscovered Dante Alighieri (1265-1321.) about the same time as Botticelli. They adored the story of [Dante's] unrequited love for Beatrice Portinari, which he wrote about in La Vita Nuova.i The English painter Dante himself was, curiously, named after the Italian poet Dante by his father. Mr. Rossetti, the father, was an Italian patriot exiled from Naples for his political activity and a Dante scholar who became professor of Italian at King's College, London, in 1831.i For a learned English reader of Season of Migration to the North, the name of Jane Morris will not pass unnoticed; in fact it will immediately recall all sorts of associations, especially to the famous huge painting of by Rossetti Dante named Dante's Dream. Here, Jonathan Jones gives a curious comment on the painting:i Quote: Victorian painters, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, loved to imagine the world of desire of Dante's Florence; in Rossetti's Dante's Dream (1871.), with a view of the Palazzo Vecchio in the background, Dante sees Beatrice – posed by Rossetti's lover Jane Morris - in her tomb. It is a morbidly sensual vision of sexx* and death.i Since I wasn't aware of all the associations of the name Jane Morris in English Art's history, Jonathan comment made a confusing impact on me. Although the morbidly sensual vision of sexx and death makes clear connection to Jane Morris's place in Seasons of Migration to the North, I could not readily equate this with the model (Jane Morris) who is posing for the artist (Rossetti Dante). I emailed Jonathan Jones to get more information about Jane Morris in the hope that it will help me to understand what might have prompted al-Tayeb Salih to choose such a famous name. It turned out from his reply that the story of Dante's obsessive love for Jane Morris is well known and documented, although there are lots of myth and fog surrounding their relationship.i Finally, the painter himself was a poet (I know, it is getting more confusing!) He sometimes wrote poems relating to his paintings, and he is still widely recognised as a poet. His poems were attacked mercilessly in those Victorian times and were labelled, with others as "The Fleshly School of Poetry"i Now the last connection is his poem The Last Confession, which I can not find yet, but is described here by George P. Landow, Professor of English and Art History, Brown University:i Quote: A related, if rather different effect appears in two of his best long poems, "Jenny" (1848-185 and "The Last Confession" (1849), both of which begin with a single point, a single event, and continually find themselves led back to it. We do not find out until the closing lines of "The Last Confession," which is set in Italy of the Risorgimento, that this event was the Italian speaker's murder of his beloved. This entire poem, which bears the impress of Browning's "My Last Duchess" (1842), moves toward the point at which we learn this fact and then perceive that for the dying man this murder has become the center of his life, the significant moment toward which he moved and which still obsesses him.i Another writer, Archibald Lampman, refers to the same poem in this quote: Quote: Another poem, realistic also, but of somewhat greater worth is the "Last Confession", the narrative of one who has loved with Italian fervour and revenged desertion by striking a dagger into the heart of his mistress. The manner of it is intensely quiet and vivid. There are passages of enormous pathos, with a subtle and terrible insight into the darker workings of passion. It is put together with consummate talent, but is, of course, in its nature, painful and disagreeable.i Although I can see the problem of trying to equate all these references and relate them to Jane Morris, I find no difficulty in claiming that I'm now treading the same backstreets in which the author of Season of Migration to the North was forming his first thoughts about Jane Morris (in the novel) and her tragic death! It is so obvious to me now that al-Tayeb Salih had placed his novel concretely in a context that is immediately graspable by the English reader. Jane Morris was a cultural signifier that referred to a whole corpus of stories, poems, paintings and images.i To be continued….. Footnotes:i i spelling the word sexx in this way was caused by the fact that the browser filter decided to filter out the word! Talk about excessive moral vigilance!i The first painting is titled: proserpinen The second painting is titled Dream at the Time of the Death of Beatrice both are paintings by Rossetti Dante Gabriel the model in the centre of both is Jane Morris!!i
