The Cambridge History of the British Essay
From ancient influences on the essay as a form of rhetoric to the Irish essay as performance, from British imperial propaganda to African postcolonial resistance, from political pamphlets to the rise of literary professionalism, from gastronomy to ecocriticism, The Cambridge History of the British Essay offers the first authoritative single-volume history of the form's development within the British literary tradition. It restores to the contempo…
Introduction
The study of sport in Ireland in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has – to risk a cliche from the sports world itself – progressed in leaps and bounds in recent decades. The period
Illuminated addresses, national identity and Irish sport, 1880–1901
This essay examines the cultural significance of illuminated sporting addresses in Ireland at the turn of the twentieth century. Illuminated addresses were used in civic society as a means of commemoration, celebrating retirement and relocation for instance, and they were also physical expressions of public sporting events in Ireland. Illuminated addressees are documents which provide an insight into the cultural histories of late nineteenth- and…

BACKGROUND: People with serious mental illness (SMI) have a 25-30 year lower life expectancy than the general population due largely to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Mediterranean diet can reduce CVD risk and repeat events by 30-70%. We conducted a pilot feasibility study (HELFIMED) with people who have SMI residing within a Community Rehabilitation Centre in South Australia, aimed at improving participants' diets according to Mediterranean diet …

Decolonising Imperial Heroes
The heroes of the British and French empires stood at the vanguard of the vibrant cultures of imperialism that emerged in Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century. Yet imperial heroes did not disappear after 1945 as British and French flags were lowered around the world. On the contrary, their reputations underwent a variety of metamorphoses in both the former metropoles and the former colonies. The introduction to this special issue o…

From Poverty to Wretchedness
This article uses the pieds-noirs (European settlers) of Algeria as a case study of how "poor whites" have been constructed, and have constructed themselves, in colonial historiography. Beginning with a reexamination of terminology, and of the socioeconomic status of the pieds-noirs , I argue that the poverty of this community is more often and more usefully understood as a form of psychological impoverishment. The work of Albert Camus represents…
Advertising, Literature and Print Culture in Ireland, 1891–1922
This is the first study of the cultural meanings of advertising in the Irish Revival period. John Strachan and Claire Nally shed new light on advanced nationalism in Ireland before and immediately aft
Camus in Context
Albert Camus was never entirely at ease in a Parisian intellectual milieu. Algerian by birth and Mediterranean by cultural inclination, he appeared out of place throughout his short, eventful life

The Colonial Identity of Wine
This article focuses on the 1905 crisis of French and Algerian viticulture that came to be known as the "Leakey Affair." It explains why metropolitan French observers reacted so strongly to Leakey's contract and subsequent advertising of Algerian wine on the British market, first from a socio-economic perspective, and second by reference to the importance of wine in French culture and identity. The final section of the article explains the respon…
The Pasteurization of Algeria
This essay focuses on the anti-malarial campaigns of Edmond and Etienne Sergent in colonial Algeria during the period from 1900 to 1930. This Pasteur Institute of Algeria was part of an elaborate, global network of men and institutions that constituted the scientific empire of Third Republic France. It was deeply indebted to the methods pioneered by Pasteur and to the shared foundational myth that connected the overseas Pasteur Institutes to Pari…
Romance, Religion and the Republic
This essay explores how previous understandings of Bruno's most celebrated text have tended to assimilate authorial intent with the traditional interpretation of Republican modernization. But historians emphasize that change rarely took place in the short term, and Bruno is similarly indicative of the complex compromise that was worked out between the Republic and the religious establishment, and between regional and national identity in the year…
An Introduction to Early Welsh
On the Language of the Milan Glosses
In working at an edition of the Milan Glosses for the Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus which is in course of publication by Dr. Whitley Stokes and myself, I put together a quantity of notes on the linguistic peculiarities of the text.At one time I intended to incorporate these notes in the introduction to the text, but they have turned out to be too bulky for that purpose.As they seem likely to be of some interest to fellow Celtists, I now publish them…
