History of Emotions: Where Are We
As we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the CHE, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotion (initially focusing on Europe 1100–1800 and with the late Professor Philippa Maddern as its founding Director) and the fifth anniversary of the launch of the journal Emotions: History, Culture, Society (founding Editors: Katie Barclay, Andrew Lynch, Giovanni Tarantino), it is only pertinent that we…

Keats's Anatomy of Melancholy: Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes and Other Poems (1820)
This book is conceived as a sustained critical study of John Keats’s collection of poems, Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes, And Other Poems (1820). It was published in the 2020 bicentenary. It treats the collection as an authorially organised and thematically unified volume rather than as a collection of occasional poems. An important thread, which I follow through the volume as a major unifying principle, has also gone largely unnoticed by c…
Multidimensional Unity: ‘A Dozen Features of Propriety’
This chapter considers the collection as a whole, suggesting some stylistic and thematic links and similitudes which establish the volume as one which has a considered unity. These facets are summarized as (1) enchantment and disenchantment (Fraistat), (2) dreams and visions, (3) the theme of loss, (4) a word, ‘adieu’, (5) bringing back the past, (6) antithetical states and contrast (7), the concept behind Milton’s ‘L’Allegro’ and ‘Il Penseroso’,…
Hamlet and Emotions
Autodidactic sonnets
True to one of the themes in this issue of our journal, my essay raises two broadly pedagogical questions. First, what did Shakespeare learn about writing sonnets from his most accomplished contemporaries, Sidney and Spenser, and secondly what does he teach his own readers about how to read his sonnets? A single answer to both is proposed: he learned and taught that the abiding and primary subject of the sonnet is the sonnet itself and the kind o…

‘Aesculapius’
Seven years is a long time in a young man’s life, and those from the ages of 14 to 21 are arguably the most impressionable of all, especially to somebody just orphaned. During this period of his youth (August 1810 to March 1817) Keats was qualifying himself to be a doctor. Since these are in some ways his ‘lost years’, seen by only a few critics as significant to his later career as poet but by most as a ‘false start’, I make no apology that this…

Medieval Pacifism
There can be no certain answer to the question, ‘When did Britons acquire a concept of peace?’. The answer may well be ‘Not yet’, since the British Isles, and even England in particular, have been virtually continuously in a state of war, declared or undeclared, since its human origins up until the present day. Peace may have been spoken of as a reality only in a relative sense, after laying down arms in one conflict and before taking them up at …
I'm Not Too Sure what I Told you the Last Time: Methological Notes on Accounts from High-Risk Activists in the Irish Republican Movement
Social movement research often draws on intensive interviews with activists to provide rich, detailed information on recruitment processes. Intensive interview data, however, are subject to misunderstandings between researchers and respondents, poor memories, the possibility that respondents will intentionally mislead in their presentation of self, and other threats. Veterans or members of the Provisional IRA and Provisional Sinn Féin were interv…
Solomon and gaenor: A Welsh-Jewish Romeo and Juliet
Shakespeare Studies in Australia
White discusses the historical, social, and political contexts, and a range of discourses and theater practices relevant to contemporary reading and performance of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright who is now regarded as the greatest writer of the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist
Comparing State Repression of Pro-State Vigilantes and Anti-State Insurgents: Northern Ireland, 1972-75
I compare the repression of "pro-state" paramilitary violence with the repression of anti-state insurgent violence. The setting examined is Northern Ireland between August 1972 and November 1975. During this time period, "pro-state" Protestant paramilitaries and "anti-state" Irish Republican paramilitaries engaged in significant levels of violence. Among the state's responses to this violence were the internment, without charge or trial, of suspe…

Innocent Victims: Poetic Justice in Shakespearean Tragedy
When R.S. White begins one of his final sentences with the urgent plea that "The tired impasse into which contemporary Shakespearean criticism has been led by its constant insistence upon the old questions (Hamlet's 'madness,' Lear's 'resurrection,' Othello's 'jealousy,' and so on) should be rejected in favour of a fresher, more relevant approach" (p. 132),we might momentarily imagine ourselves within earshot of a New Historicist or otherwise pos…

Some Techniques for Mechanical Excavation in Salvage Archaeology
Two techniques that were used for mechanical excavation of archaeological sites in California are discussed. One technique involves excavation by soil strata and the other employs arbitrary 10 cm levels. The development of a method for large-scale hydraulic screening using recirculated water is also described. Advantages and drawbacks to mechanized excavation are discussed; and it is concluded that controlled scientific excavation can sometimes b…
