  • “The Irish Resonances in Sterne's Tristram Shandy”
    This PRE-PUBLICATION version was delivered at the University of Liverpool on 4 July 2012, as part of Intersections: An Irish Studies Symposium. An earlier version was delivered at the ASECS Annual Meeting in San Antonio, TX on 23 March 2012. For the ‘official’, published version, please see The Irish Review 52.1 (Summer 2016): 15-26. “The Irish References in Sterne’s Tristram Shandy” By Dr. David Clare Laurence Sterne has always occupied an uncertain place within the Irish literary canon. Important commentators have consistently denied that his work is, in any significant way, Irish. Referring to the fact that the Tipperary-born Sterne was the son of an English soldier stationed in Ireland, Arthur Clery famously stated that “To call Sterne an Irishman is the mere pedantry of birth administration”.1 W.B. Yeats contended that Sterne’s Tristram Shandy should not be included in a canon of “national Irish literature” because it fails to reflect the nation’s “Celtic” traditions and character.2 Seminal surveys of Irish literature, including Declan Kiberd’s Irish Classics (2000), Norman Vance’s Irish Literature: A Social History (1999), and Joep Leerssen’s Mere Irish and Fíor-Ghael (1986), do not mention Sterne at all, even in passing, and, although Derek Hand writes incisively about Sterne in his study, A History of the Irish Novel (2011), he makes the unnecessarily extreme (and untrue) caveat that Sterne placed “no emphasis on his Irish roots whatsoever”.3 When the occasional commentator does attempt to reclaim Sterne for Ireland, they often fail to use rigorous, textual demonstration, and instead focus on the thematic and stylistic similarities that he shares with other Irish writers.

Martineau, who had died the previous year, had published numerous sketches of the recently dead for the Daily News between 1852 and 1863, many of which were collected in Biographical Sketches (1869).1 For Morley, these were “masterpieces in the style of the vignette. Their conciseness, their clearness in fact, their definiteness in judgment, and above all the rightly-graduated impression of the writer’s own personality in the background, make them perfect in their kind.”2 In reviewing Martineau’s work, Morley was himself writing a biographical sketch, a genre that was widespread in periodical literature by the middle of the nineteenth century. Accounts of recently dead editors and contributors ranged from obituaries and memoirs to reviews of books (especially biographies, memoirs, and autobiographies), but many were simply brief sketches of recent or earlier nineteenth century journalistic figures.

  • Birthright Democracy: Nationhood and Constitutional Self-Government in History
    BIRTHRIGHT DEMOCRACY: NATIONHOOD AND CONSTITUTIONAL SELF-GOVERNMENT IN HISTORY By Ethan Alexander-Davey A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2013 Date of final oral examination: 8/16/13 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Richard Avramenko, Political Science Daniel Kapust, Political Science James Klausen, Political Science Howard Schweber, Political Science Johann Sommerville, History i Abstract How did constitutionally limited government and democracy emerge in the West? Many scholars from many different perspectives have attempted to answer this question. I identify the emergence of these forms of self-government with early modern nationalism. Broadly speaking, nationalism of the right sort provides indispensable resources both for united popular resistance against autocratic rule, and for the formation and legitimation of national systems self- governance. Resistance and self-government both require a national consciousness that includes a myth of national origin, a national language, a common faith, and, crucially, native traditions of self-government, and stories of heroic ancestors who successfully defended those traditions against usurpers and tyrants. It is through national consciousness that abstract theories of resistance and self-government become concrete and tenable. It is though national fellowship that the idea of a political nation, possessing the right to make rulers accountable to its will, comes into existence and is sustained over time. My arguments basically fall under two headings, historical and theoretical. By an examination of the nationalist political thought of early modern European countries, I intend to establish important historical connections between the rise of nationalism and the emergence of self-government.

In England in historical times, dead bodies of people of all classes “lay” – that is, were prepared and dressed (or “laid out”) and, placed in the open coffin, would lie in a downstairs room of the family house for two or three days whilst the burial was arranged.1 Friends and relations of the deceased could then visit to pay their respects.

  • 1 Republicanism Martin Dzelzainis Republicans and Regicides Thomas
    Dzelzainis, ‘Republicanism’ 1 Republicanism Martin Dzelzainis Republicans and regicides Thomas Hobbes signs off the Review and Conclusion appended to Leviathan by invoking a superstition of exactly the kind that the work was intended to dispel. He fears that the moment of Leviathan’s publication – late April or early May 1651 – is inauspicious since ‘in the revolution of States, there can be no very good Constellation for Truths of this nature to be born under, (as having an angry aspect from the dissolvers of an old Government, and seeing but the backs of them that erect a new;)’. Just as Leviathan literally enters the world under the sign of Gemini in the spring of 1651, so metaphorically the birth of the English republic is a time when politics faces two different ways. To dismiss the metaphor as merely an ironic flourish, however, would be to overlook the fact that Hobbes had surveyed ‘divers English Books lately printed’ before concluding that ‘much of that Doctrine, which serveth to the establishing of a new Government, must needs be contrary to that which conduced to the dissolution of the old’ (Hobbes 1996: 484, 489, 491. Modern scholars have often followed Hobbes’s lead in assuming a fundamental difference of outlook between the regicides and the republicans. For them too it seems that gazing upon the ‘angry aspect’ of the regicides means only seeing the back of the republicans, while looking the republicans in the face means occluding their view of the regicides. Thus John Morrill insists that ‘the English revolution saw a violent act carried out by a fairly isolated band of well-placed soldiers and civilians, mainly driven by religious fanaticism (the regicides) which gave rise to a political programme supported by a wider and more pragmatic group (the republicans)’ (Morrill: 23).
