Race in Irish Literature and Culture
Race in Irish Literature and Culture provides an in-depth understanding of intersections between Irish literature, culture, and questions of race, racialization, and racism. Covering a vast historical terrain from the sixteenth century to the present, it spotlights the work of canonical, understudied, and contemporary authors in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and among diasporic Irish communities. By focusing on questions related to Black Irish ident…
Nineteenth-Century Contextualization of “Race-Religion”
In her wide-ranging article, “An Imperial History of Race-Religion in International Law,” Rabiat Akande delves into the realms of history illustrating how the “race-religion” constellation became formative in current international law, specifically in Western discrimination toward minorities. As Akande writes, “the legacy of that past survives in the continuing interplay of the racial and religious othering of the non-Euro-Christian other.” 1 Thi…
Minorities aiding minorities? British Jewish response to Armenian suffering in the late Victorian era
This essay delves into the humanitarian response of British Jews towards the suffering of the Armenians during the Hamidian massacres (1894–7). The essay argues that this humanitarian act is a very early and hardly known attempt by Jews to aid members of other non-Jewish groups. This "external" humanitarian act perhaps fits the scholarly argument concerning the nineteenth century's watershed of humanitarianism: the transition from an earlier more…
Lost in Time
In this article, we locate a tendency to revert to ‘Western,’ ‘national,’ and/or ‘racial’ times during periods of intense uncertainty or ‘crisis’ when individuals and societies seek to make sense of the present through the past, drawing upon the concept of a ‘time-border.’ We suggest this tendency is a ‘conventional’ pull in temporal thinking that has recurred in modern time cultures. In our own present, this reversion appears to be occurring des…
Armenians, Jews, and Humanitarianism in the ‘Age of Questions’, 1830–1900
Go to Armenia, and you will not find an Armenian. They, too, are an expatriated nation, like the Hebrews...The Armenian has a proverb: ‘In every city of the East I find a home.’ They are everywhere; the rivals of my people, for they are one of the great races, and little degenerated: with all our industry, and much of our energy... Benjamin Disraeli, Tancred; or, The new crusade (1847)
Contesting Teutomania’
The essay elucidates the intellectual and historiographical phenomenon of migration to the forefront by engaging with the perceptions of the Teutonic/Germanic migrations of the fifth century among a few major Victorian ethnologists and historians. It focuses particularly on the unique view of the ethnologist and philologist Robert Gordon Latham (1812–88). While many Victorian historians of the mid-nineteenth century became obsessed with the Teuto…
Race, Nation, History
Oded Y. Steinberg argues that historical periodization converged with racial, national, and religious themes to inform the historical perception of influential English and German scholars during the second half of the nineteenth century
Alfred Marshall’s window on the emerging historical profession
The historical profession in Oxbridge underwent dramatic change during the 1860s and 1870s. From an amateur profession, lacking a substantial curriculum, it became an established profession with canonical figures and set-texts. Parallel to the emergence of a new academic history in the early 1870s, Alfred Marshall (1842–1924) a young Cambridge don and moral scientist (and later famous economist) was engaged in wide reading of historical literatur…
The Unity of History and Periods? The Unique Historical Periodization of E. A. Freeman
The Victorian historian E. A. Freeman (1823–92), following Thomas Arnold, promoted the innovative idea of the “unity of history,” according to which history was a linked, recurring cycle without the artificial boundary of periods. In recent research, however, it is little noticed that, along with this “unity” theory, Freeman also emphasized the ruptures and the divisions in history. It is even less noticed that Freeman devised a unique periodizat…
