Henry ling roth's and george kingsley roth's pacific anthropology
This paper surveys the contribution to Pacific Studies of the Roth family, especially George Kingsley Roth (1903-60), who served the colonial administration in Fiji, and his father Henry Ling Roth (1818-91); and it probes the question why their achievements, particularly in research on material culture, are now not widely recognised. The authors argue that the Roths' reputations suffered, first, from association with the racial typologies that we…
The Archibald Paradox
R.D. FitzGerald’s 'The Face of the Waters
Tracing the poet's recourse to philosophical and theological ideas, Croft argues that 'The Face of the Waters' leaves an impression of 'terror and incomprehension at the temporal system in which man is prisoner' (71)
Is *Geoffry Hamlyn* a Creole Novel
Discusses the perception of a division in Australian society between those who followed the English model and pattern and those who adopted differing manners of indigenous white society. Suggests that Kingsleyâ s view of Australia in Geoffry Hamlyn is â a longing for a plantation culture and a reflection of the division of Australia into two cultural groups: Creole and non-Creoleâ (270)
The World Outside Time
Five Bells' is admired for its imagery, emotional intensity, and the technical proficiency of its verse. The ideas expressed in it embarrass some critics and quite a few have been eager to use its apparent nihilistic conclusion to argue that Slessor wrote himself into an impasse and silence. These reasons, together with the common prejudice that Slessor is an intellectual lightweight, have meant that the ideas about Time, memory, and existence ex…
Slessor’s ‘Five Visions of Captain Cook’
A close reading of Slessorâ s sequence, focussing on the nature of the visions and the visionaries; the use Slessor makes of his sources; and questions of unity. Argues that the sequence has a unity of purpose: to consider Cookâ s stature as a a hero; a unity of concept: the relationship of Cook to Time; and a unified structure based on the recurring motif of Time
Notes on Slessor’s ‘Five Visions’
Comments on the differences between Slessorâ s own notes on â Five Visionsâ and Croftâ s earlier article
