Writing History, Writing Novels
This article features excerpts from two historical novels set in the eighteenth century, The Boy in the Chimney and The Canada Act , written by Chantel Lavoie of Royal Military College and Eric Miller of the University of Victoria respectively. The novels are inspired in part by the authors’ historical and literary research in eighteenth-century studies. Readings from the novels at the 2022 CSECS conference in Ottawa (Canada), generated a fruitfu…
The Maternal Picturesque in Mary Wollstonecraft and Elizabeth Simcoe
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–97) and Elizabeth Simcoe (1762–1850) composed narratives of their travels: accounts influenced by picturesque theory, especially as articulated by William Gilpin. Wollstonecraft’s Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark appeared in 1796; Simcoe, a gifted artist, kept a written and visual diary of her 1791–96 sojourn in Lower and Upper Canada, as spouse of the first Lieutenant-Governor of U…
True Touches of Nature
The pulse-taking scene in Laurence Sterne’s 1768 Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is representative of the fiction. The episode, in which Yorick palpates the wrist of a Parisian grisette or shopgirl, engages with both literal and figurative matters of the heart. Scholars have long speculated about what Sterne may have meant when he described Sentimental Journey as a “work of redemption.” None has connected Yorick’s discourse of sensib…
“Every Shrub Seemed Pregnant with Her Charms”
Gilbert Imlay’s 1793 epistolary novel The Emigrants , which dramatizes several characters’ journey across the Alleghenies to occupy and develop a tract in the Ohio country, features the use of allusions and commonplaces that illuminate this fiction’s provocative campaign to conciliate physiocracy, proto-feminism, and the new philosophy with the expulsion of indigenous people in the region. Imlay uses Pope, Sterne and Thomson to justify and erotic…

"A Note on the Protomental System and "Groupishness
In identifying the unconscious "basic assumption" behavior of groups, Bion made a significant discovery. Although he toyed with explaining this behavior as instinctive, he ultimately postulated that it was a postnatal defense. However, there is a strong case for the biogenetic explanation. This sharpens our understanding of some group and organizational processes that have been hitherto described in terms of psychoanalytic concepts. It may also h…
War Plan Orange
Based on twenty years of research in formerly secret archives, this book reveals for the first time the full significance of War Plan Orange - the U.S. Navy's strategy to defeat Japan. Prior to World War II, the plan was formulated over forty years before the outbreak of war. It recounts the struggles between the 'thrusting' and 'cautionary' schools of strategy, the roles of outspoken leaders such as Dewey, Mahan, King, and MacArthur, and the ada…
Legal Aspects of the United Nations Action in the Congo
The United Nations action in the Congo, instituted by the Security Council on July 14, 1960, has been described by the Secretary General as “the biggest single effort under United Nations colours organized and directed by the United Nations itself.” It was an emergency action, undertaken almost instantaneously and carried out in an atmosphere of crisis and political tension. This was not a setting propitious to juridical deliberation; yet it cann…
