Melodrama
melodramatic form. Currently no comprehensive account of it exists. I have suggested that we should focus on the way the dramatic action is interrupted by still pictures, the tableaux, and, correlatively, on the way the music starts and stops, segmenting the dramatic action into "passages." (Even when the music is nearly continuous, it swells and recedes in volume, calibrated so that the actors' declamations can be heard; and thus, even when fair…
Acts of Desire
Historical study must always evaluate the relative degrees of change and continuity. Indeed, in this book, Sos Eltis shows us precisely how hard it has been to change the plots through which women
A genealogy of the ‘future’
In this paper, from the particular positioning of educational researchers working in Australia, we unpack the figure of the ‘21st century learner’ from both broad and specific perspectives. The paper begins with a policy genealogy that traces this figure through networks of documents, events and bodies that transcend borders and hemispheres. We suggest that although there appear to be multiple origins for current Australian policies on educationa…
The Cambridge History of Victorian Literature
This collaborative History aims to become the standard work on Victorian literature for the twenty-first century. Well-known scholars introduce readers to their particular fields, discuss influential critical debates and offer illuminating contextual detail to situate authors and works in their wider cultural and historical contexts. Sections on publishing and readership and a chronological survey of major literary developments between 1837 and 1…
Achieving both intellectual quality and relevance in classroom learning experiences
The idea that the educational needs of secondary school students are best met by providing them with learning experiences that are both intellectually challenging and connected to the world beyond the classroom underpins several recent pedagogical initiatives in Australia. However, such learning experiences are rarely found in practice. Many reasons for this have already been identified, but we suggest there may be another dimension to this probl…
Pedagogies for social justice
This paper explores the often‐touted incompatibility between ‘intellectual rigour’ and ‘relevance’ as this has manifested in Australian debates over Queensland’s New Basics and ‘productive pedagogies’, and associated initiatives such as the New South Wales Quality Teaching Framework. This debate can be located in longer‐standing concerns about how best to meet the educational needs of students who experience social disadvantage. In particular, we…
Am I Not a Man and a Brother?” “Am I Not a Woman and a Sister?”
This article addresses the contributions of black and white men and women in Europe and the United States to the propaganda campaigns instrumental in the abolition of the trans-Atlantic trade in Africans and the antislavery movements of Great Britain and the United States in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The ideas and words of literary figures in the service of eliminating slavery are the focus of this study. The impact of the ideology a…

Genre Matters
Genre Matters:Response Carolyn Williams (bio) Each of the papers I selected reminds us that the matter of genre is never an issue of definition or taxonomy, but of dynamic formation. With the novel, this issue of formation, through gestures of inclusion and exclusion, is particularly acute. If the "law of genre" seems to insist that genres are not to be mixed, that law is clearly made to be broken. And the novel is not only a mixed genre but a mo…
Angelina Grimke
This work aims to provide an understanding of Grimke's purposeful engagement of the rhetoric of confrontation, her rhetorical use of violence in antislavery discourse, and her emergence as a witness to the moral truths of her time

Intimacy and Theatricality
T HIS THOUGHTFUL, RAVISHING period film treats us to a work of serious historical scholarship and theoretical speculation on narrative and history, disguised as the old-fashioned plot about the difficulties leading up to a famous theatrical production. Taking as its focus the well-chosen moment in the creative conflict between Gilbert and Sullivan that was eventually resolved in their successful 1885 production of The Mikado , Topsy-Turvy seems t…

Cultural Politics at the Fin de Siècle
Cultural Politics at the Fin de Siècle scrutinises ways in which current conflicts of 'race', class, and gender have their origins in the cultural politics of the last fin de siècle, whose influence stretched from the 1890s, when economic depression signalled the end of Britain's role as 'the workshop of the world', to 1914 when world war accelerated imperial decline. This collaborative venture by new and established scholars includes discussion …
