‘I almost wonder that you never turned your thoughts to Africa’
Keeping tabs on the executive
Congress has long exercised its power to oversee the executive branch. Important research has examined empirical patterns in congressional investigations, finding institutional, individual, policy, and partisan incentives motivate legislative inquiry. Yet, scholars largely have overlooked one fundamental question: what is oversight? We use new quantitative and qualitative data to highlight the importance of considering oversight as a series of ac…
A Taste of Hell
Australian settler fiction and poetry stage shifting notions of temporality in relation to bushfires. The fire was an important plot device in settler writing, initially adding a touch of local colour for readers back home in England through stories of melodramatic rescue. However, by the end of the nineteenth century, understandings of fire had begun to change, as settlers began to learn that fires were not simply one-off catastrophes, but rathe…

History of Emotions
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…
As Closely Bonded as We are
Using the fiction of Ceridwen Dovey and Eva Hornung, this essay considers animalography as a medium to represent animal emotions, particularly when ties of kinship break down. It addresses the difficulties and power dynamics associated with speaking for nonhuman others, while engaging with Cynthia Huff’s cautions regarding the posthumanist life narrative

Emotions
W E owe much of our present-day understanding of the emotions to the Victorians and the remarkable self-scrutiny that they exercised in seeking to understand the nature and source of emotions. The Scottish philosopher, Alexander Bain, captures the dynamism of this field of study when, in a preface to the second edition of his The Emotions and the Will (1865), he notes that he has "recast" his chapter on emotion, further commenting that "the deriv…
Raising high its thousand forked tongues’
This article explores the significance of the campfire to Australian settler culture in the nineteenth century. Considering the paradox that campfires could be both comforting and evoke terror, the piece considers how they provided a link between the northern and southern hemispheres. Drawing on a range of primary materials — many of which have been forgotten — the article addresses the thin boundary between warmth and tragedy that came to be ass…

William Clark Russell and the Victorian Nautical Novel
Jan Plamper, trans. Keith Tribe, The History of Emotions
Jan Plamper’s The History of Emotions is broad in scope, offering the first overview of a rapidly expanding field. Keith Tribe’s translation (the work was originally published in German in 2012) is highly readable, and Plamper caters for the non-expert reader, offering an extensive glossary of keywords in emotion and affect studies. Plamper begins by considering the brain’s role in processing emotions and generating visceral responses, examining …
Colonial Dickens
Grace MooreUniversity of Melbourne© 2014, Grace Moore
Empires and colonies
Dickens's concern with Britain's overseas colonies is evident in his earliest writings, where it frequently becomes entangled with anxieties about the need for social reform nearer to home. Although in his lifetime he only visited two of Britain's colonial holdings – Canada in 1842 and Ireland in 1858, 1867 and 1869 – Dickens became much more engaged with imperial issues from the 1850s onwards. This growing concern with the Empire may be attribut…
Imperial White
The title of Radhika Mohanram's Imperial White is somewhat misleading, in that it does not do justice to the remarkable breadth of this wide-ranging study. In addition to interrogating whiteness and imperialism, Mohanram also considers feminism, sexuality, mourning, melancholia and even the politics and appropriation of water. The book is equally broad in its geography, moving gracefully from India, to Ireland, to the Antipodes and back again. Wh…
Twentieth‐Century Re‐Workings of the Victorian Novel
This essay offers an overview of recent critical studies of the neo‐Victorian novel alongside a discussion of revisions of Victorian writing from the 1880s to the present day. The piece seeks to examine some of the recent critical debates surrounding what Robin Gilmour has termed ‘using’ the nineteenth century. It will map the trajectory of these revisions from the late nineteenth century to the present day to consider how and why Victorian novel…
