Generating a Minority Prize: Victorian literature, transculturation, and Anglophone critical/creative writing in Sri Lankan educational landscapes
This paper explores the enduring minority status of teachers of English literature in Sri Lanka. The article focuses on Victorian literature in the Sri Lankan Anglophone educational landscape, in particular higher education, as it has been experienced variously across at least three generations from c.1950 to the present. Beginning with Matthew Arnold's concept of a cultured minority, and T.B. Macaulay's view of an educated minority in colonised …
Life Writing and Victorian Culture
The Bensons were a Victorian family dedicated to telling and retelling the story of their lives. The Bensons have attracted considerable interest from critics and historians working in the field of Victorianfamily relations and masculinity, especially the role of the father. What is notable about the Benson biographies, however, is the silence of the women, who avoided both biography and autobiography, though Maggie, described as 'priestly' by he…
Ages and Stages: The place of theatre in the lives of older people
Despite the growing interest amongst gerontologists and literary and cultural scholars alike, in arts participation, ageing and the artistic outputs of older people, comparatively little attention has yet been paid to theatre and drama.

Translating the Self: Sexuality, Religion, and Sanctuary in John Addington Symonds's Cellini and other Acts of Life Writing
Translation in life writing begins in the act of finding linguistic equivalences but can lead to complex epistemological and ideological transpositions. John Addington Symonds's translation of the memoir of Benvenuto Cellini (1888) is the focal point for a broader consideration of the place of translation in Symonds's queer-coded late Victorian life writing

The main aim of the article is to explicate a methodology that takes a…
