Walter Benjamin’s Maritime Imaginaries
This article examines the significance of maritime imaginaries in the work and life of Walter Benjamin, arguing that the various references to the sea and ships across his writings serve as more than mere metaphorical content. Drawing on Benjamin’s personal experiences of sea travel, the article contends that his conceptual framework, particularly his historical method of rescue ( Rettung ), is intimately tied to the materiality and embodied expe…
Longitudinal Patterns of Caregiving Sensitivity in a Sample of Adolescent Mothers
INTRODUCTION: Adolescent mothers are at a heightened risk of experiencing adversity (e.g., financial insecurity) that may influence the patterns of their caregiving sensitivity across time. Ample research has focused on child outcomes related to caregiving sensitivity; however, less literature exists identifying the patterns of change and/or consistency across time, specifically amongst at-risk samples. Thus, the current study examined longitudin…
Democratising the sublime: Spectacular danger and the rise of mass leisure by the sea
The seaside resort commands a unique place in British cultural memory, prompting a wealth of scholarly responses documenting its distinctive history: its early emergence as a place of romantic escape, where the sea’s enjoyment as a wild spectacle of nature contributed to the formation of the iconography of the sublime; and its later democratisation, as working class crowds found respite from the world of labour in the mild dissipation provided by…
Spectacle and Sympathy in the Origin Narratives of Lifesaving at Sea
The early years of the nineteenth century saw an explosion in publications that advocated for lifesaving intervention in the numerous shipwrecks that occurred around Britain's coastline. With a striking frequency, the authors of this literature root the origins of their humanitarian impulses in a distinctive narrative device: the motif of a shipwreck close to shore, witnessed by a crowd of spectators helpless to intervene but united in sympatheti…
Home on the waves: Domesticity and Discomfort Aboard the Overland Route Steamship, 1842-1862
This article develops insight into the historical connections between corporeality and mobility, focusing upon the mobilities made possible by the shipping line P&O’s steamship service to the East in the mid nineteenth century. Passenger narratives of journeys made by this service describe an idiosyncratic domesticity which evokes a distinctive attempt to discursively frame steamship mobility as a safe, comfortable, normalised experience of a jou…
The Oxford History of the Novel in English
Volume Nine of this series traces the development of the ‘world novel’, that is, English-language novels written throughout the world, beyond Britain, Ireland, and the United States. Focusing on the period up to 1950, the volume contains survey chapters and chapters on major writers, as well as chapters on book history, publishing, and the critical contexts of the work discussed. The text covers periods from renaissance literary imaginings of exo…
Book History: The World Novel in English to 1950
This chapter discusses Book History. Drawing on the disciplinary fields of ‘analytical bibliography’ and influenced by work in Annales social history, Book History takes as its subject the cultural history and the sociology of print, and also the impact of print on the ‘thought and behaviour of mankind’ from the Gutenberg press to the present day. As books make the complicated journey from the idea to print in all its variant forms, the connectio…
A sea view: Perceptions of maritime space and landscape in accounts of nineteenth-century colonial steamship travel
Colonial Literature and the Native Author: Indigeneity and Empire
This book is the first study of writers who are both Victorian and indigenous, who have been educated in and write in terms of Victorian literary conventions, but whose indigenous affiliation is part of their literary personae and subject matter. What happens when the colonised, indigenous, or 'native' subject learns to write in the literary language of empire? If the romanticised subject of colonial literature becomes the author, is a new kind o…
Reading Byron in Kororāreka: The Journal of Ensign Best
This essay offers a case study of the reading habits of Lieutenant Abel Dottin William Best, who arrived in Port Nicholson in June 1840. He commanded thirty men of the 65th regiment who had been sent to accompany Colonial Secretary Willoughby Shortland. Their task was to intimidate the New Zealand Company settlers who preferred independence to the Crown Colony status conferred by the recently signed Treaty of Waitangi. Best describes the settlers…
Posttraumatic stress disorder and intimate relationship problems: A meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE: The authors conducted a meta-analysis of empirical studies investigating associations between indices of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and intimate relationship problems to empirically synthesize this literature. METHOD: A literature search using PsycINFO, Medline, Published International Literature on Traumatic Stress (PILOTS), and Dissertation Abstracts was performed. The authors identified 31 studies meeting inclusion criteri…
One of these curiously compounded works criticism stops at”: New Zealand’s First Novel and the Problems of Acclimatisation
This paper discusses New Zealand’s first novel Taranaki: A Tale of the War by Henry Butler Stoney, written in 1861, and ignored or dismissed by critics colonial, nationalist and postcolonial. Using the metaphor of acclimatisation, a popular endeavour in the nineteenth century, the paper considers the ways in which the introduced and alien novel form adapted or failed to adapt to the new context. The fictional status of Taranaki is supplemented by…
Indian Mysteries and Comic Stunts: The Royal Tour and the Theatre of Empire
This article considers the records of three royal tours ranging from 1869 to 1920 and finds points where the voices of difference within empire merge, where authors adopt contrary stances for different audiences, or where a single text discloses conflicting positions. In Canadian Mohawk poet E. Pauline Johnson's reconstruction of an 1869 tour by Prince Arthur contemporary public accounts are revisited and the indigenous actors are presented in cu…
Attitudes Toward Women and Tolerance for Sexual Harassment Among Reservists
Women are more likely to experience sexual harassment in some work settings than others; specifically, work settings that have a large proportion of male workers, include a predominance of male supervisors, and represent traditional male occupations may be places in which there is greater tolerance for sexual harassment. The focus of the study was to document attitudes toward women among military personnel, to identify demographic and military ch…
