    THE ARCHITECT by AIDAN FENNESSY Welcome

    THE ARCHITECT BY AIDAN FENNESSY Welcome The Architect is an example of the profound role theatre plays in helping us make sense of life and the emotional challenges we encounter as human beings. Night after night in theatres around the world, audiences come together to experience, be moved by, discuss, and contemplate the stories playing out on stage. More often than not, these stories reflect the goings on of the world around us and leave us with greater understanding and perspective. In this world premiere, Australian work, Aidan Fennessy details the complexity of relationships with empathy and honesty through a story that resonates with us all. In the hands of Director Peter Houghton, it has come to life beautifully. Australian plays and new commissions are essential to the work we do at MTC and it is incredibly pleasing to see more and more of them on our stages, and to see them met with resounding enthusiasm from our audiences. Our recently announced 2019 Season features six brilliant Australian plays that range from beloved classics like Storm Boy to recent hit shows such as Black is the New White and brand new works including the first NEXT STAGE commission to be produced, Golden Shield. The full season is now available for subscription so if you haven’t yet had a look, head online to mtc.com.au/2019 and get your booking in.

    Making Meaning Together: Information, Rumor, and Propaganda in British Fiction of the First World War

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MAKING MEANING TOGETHER: INFORMATION, RUMOR, AND PROPAGANDA IN BRITISH FICTION OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR. Rebecca Borden, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Associate Professor Peter Mallios, Department of English. Through an examination of fiction by H.G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, and John Buchan, this dissertation examines information as a category as it exists under conditions of modernity, and how the contours of and changes in definitions and understandings of modern information become more visible, and are likely accelerated by, the complex information challenges brought about by the disruptions of the First World War. Given that “information” is a key building-block in understanding systems of knowledge in modernity, this dissertation incorporates theoretical constructs describing information drawn from a variety of disciplines, all of which circle around the problems and concerns of the increasingly saturated, complex, and untethered nature of information as experienced by an individual in modern life. This project also highlights the role that rumor plays in modernity. The war years bring an expansion of government-directed information control, both in the form of actively produced propaganda and in the form of censorship, disrupting the conduits along which information travels under normal conditions. Rumor, generally considered a pre-modern form of communication, remains a part of modern information systems and provides a mechanism for making meaning when other sources of information begin to fail. This dissertation also considers how “wartime” fiction, as a category distinct from pre-war and post-war fiction, is a revealing domain of literature in its own right, and one that has been overlooked in scholarship on literature of the First World War.

WELLS: EDUCA TIO:\lST GENERAL survey of the lines along which Mr. Wells' educational ideas have Ade,·eloped, and a criticism of these ideas. Mr. Wells has always regarded education in the broadest light-never as a narrow ae~demic or scholastic afFair, but as a process that touches life at all points. Education in this wider aspect has, therefore, assumed so great an importance in his work as a whole, that a survey such as this amounts to a more or less complete review of his philosophy. While therefore, the book appeals first to the _ edue~tionist, it is also of value for the general · reader, particularly those who regard.

    The Early History of the Macmillan Cornpany of Canada, I905-1921 Bruce Wi~Hitemnan

    The Early History of the Macmillan Cornpany of Canada, I905-1921 Bruce Wi~hitemnan WHEN THE MACMILLAN COMPANY OF CANADA RECEIVED ITS ONTARIO charter to set up in business on the 5th of December 1905, Canada was in the midst of its most prosperous and expansive period since Confederation. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his Liberal government had won their third consecu- tive term of office a little more than a year before. The country's population was only just slightly over six million, but western immigration had reached a point high enough to permit the creation of two new provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, whose status was finally assured with the pas- sage of the so-called Autonomy Bills on September I 1905. Capital for manufacturing purposes was both plentiful and relatively cheap, with the result that industrialization, particularly in Ontario, proceeded at an unpre- cedented rate. The economic boom in Canada did much to foster a broadly based optimism that found expression in various ways. Politically, for example, Canada had for the first time contributed to the defence in an imperial war in 1899; and culturally, one might mention that between 1868 and 1898, the number of copyrights issued annually had increased from 34 to 702. It was, as Carl Berger so aptly put it, 'the age of Canada's great bar- becue.'l George L. Parkter has noted that during the years of the Laurier prosper- ity, from. the mid-I890s to the first World War, no fewer than fourteen pub- lishing firms were established in Toronto.2 Many of them, including Mac- millan, were Canadian subsidiaries of British or American houses and were set up by their parent firms in order to takte advantage of the growing Cana- dian marktet for school and trade books issued in New York or London.

Chiefly remembered today for Elizabeth and her German Garden (1898), she met HGW in late 1910 and began an affair with him which continued until 1912. His nickname for her was 'Little e'. In 1916 she married John Francis Russell, brother of Bertrand Russell, and continued to write novels, including Vera (1921) and The En­ chanted April (1923). She is portrayed as 'Mrs Harrowdean' in HGW' s novel Mr Britling Sees It Through. Bagnold, Enid (1889-1981 ), novelist and playwright. She and HGW met in 1916 and began a lifelong friendship. She served as a nurse in the First World War and wrote an account of her experiences, Diary Without Dates (1917). Her most well­ known work is the novel National Velvet (1935). Barrie, Sir James Matthew (1860-1937), novelist and playwright. The author of a number of successful novels, including A Window in Thrums, Margaret Ogilvy and Sentimental Tommy, Barrie met HGW in 1898 and the two began a lifelong friendship. It was Barrie's When a Man's Single (1888) which provided HGW with the inspiration to write articles on everyday topics instead of philosophical ideas and thus helped to launch him on his lit­ erary career (cf. Experiment in Autobiography, pp. 371-4). Baxter, William (1860-1934), local historian. HGW and Baxter's wife were fellow pupils at Mrs Knott's dame school in Bromley. Baxter later became a respected local historian, writing numerous articles on Bromley. He wrote a 32-page manuscript on HGW, now deposited at Bromley Library, and frequently wrote to HGW requesting biographical information.

    RADICAL UNCERTAINTY IN H. G. WELLS ’S TONO -BUNGAY 1 Jonathan D. Rodgers In his 1909 work The Condition of England, C. F. G. Masterman writes that ‘contemporary observers’ are drawn, irrepressibly, to the study of humanity’s present position: It is not that they deliberately turn towards consideration of the meaning and progress of the actual life around them. It is that they cannot with the best desire in the world – escape from such an encompassing problem. To those the only question before them is the present. 2 The same sense of urgency, the need to respond to the conditions and confusions of contemporary English life, pervades H. G. Wells’s Tono-Bungay (1909). Despite his repeated claims of literary inadequacy, Wells’s protagonist, George Ponderevo, feels he must convey his experience of contemporary England via prose: ‘I have got an unusual series of impressions that I want very urgently to tell.’ 3 His impulse is not one of measured retrospection but of a need to impress the reader with the exigency of current social disintegration. 4 Masterman prefaces his text similarly, stating ‘if I had delayed a study of modern England to a less hurried and more tranquil future, I might have found that it would be a very different England which I should then be compelled to examine.’5 Despite noting the potential pitfalls of historical oversimplification, José Harris states that the Edwardian age nevertheless experienced a ‘marked decline’ in its sense of historical continuity with the previous Victorian era. 6 According to Harris this ‘sense of living in a new epoch found expression in many contexts and in a variety of ways’, and thus Masterman’s and Wells’s texts can be interpreted as similar 1 The author would like to thank Dr Howard Booth for his preliminary discussions and continued assistance with this essay.

    H. G. Wells's Interwar Utopias: Eugenics, Individuality and the Crowd

    H. G. Wells’s Interwar Utopias: Eugenics, Individuality and the Crowd MAXIM SHADURSKI Introduction The problem of revitalizing the nation and bringing up good citizens acquired a renewed significance during the interwar years in Britain. In the words of David Matless, ‘[d]ebates over an ‘A1’ or ‘C3’ nation went back to the eugenic ‘National Efficiency’ drive which followed the revelation of poor physical capacity in Boer War recruits’.1 This persistent trope was also related to, and frequently informed by, a more general socio-cultural climate that involved a complex coexistence and cross-fertilization of evolutionary ideas and Nietzschean philosophy. As David Stack explains, G. B. Shaw, Beatrice and Sidney Webb, Ramsay MacDonald, among others, used the ideas of evolution as a caveat to the degenerative drift of capitalism and as a bulwark of an organically developing society.2 Just as Darwinism preoccupied writers and thinkers across the political spectrum, Nietzsche’s impact on the Edwardian and interwar views on degeneration was felt, according to Dan Stone, across nationally conscious discourses.3 Given its contemporary urgency, the problem of national revitalization also galvanized H. G. Wells’s utopian imaginings, which were in conversation with evolutionary ideas and with the projections of the overman. As early as ‘Human Evolution, An Artificial Process’ (1896), Wells argued that the differences between the natural and the evolved man were minimal in terms of evolutionary changes. The more significant 1 David Matless, Landscape and Englishness (London: Reaktion Books, 1998), p. 91. 2 David Stack, The First Darwinian Left: Socialism and Darwinism, 1859–1914 (Cheltenham: New Clarion Press, 2003), pp.

    HG Wells and the Interwar Debate on the Teaching of History

    1 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation ARTICLES / ARTICLES “One Great Epic Unfolding”: H.G. Wells and the Interwar Debate on the Teaching of History Ken Osborne ABSTRACT This essay explores H.G. Wells’s attempts to reform the teaching of history between the two World Wars. Holding history teachers largely responsible for creating the mood of bellicose nationalism that made the First World War possible, Wells concluded that only a fundamen- tally reformed history education would ensure the survival of the human species. He pressed for a global history, to be taught in all the world’s schools, that began with the origins of the universe and ended with the present and a glimpse into the future that transcended national borders, and would be taught appropriately. Wells was widely read and often quoted by teach- ers but was unable to change the priorities of educational policy-makers. This essay examines his objections to conventional history; explores his alternative model of history education; and explains his eventual failure. Wells made an important contribution to the debate about history teaching in the inter-war years and his educational ideas have been unduly neglected. RÉSUMÉ Cet article expose les tentatives de l’écrivain H. G. Wells en vue de réformer l’enseignement de l’histoire entre les deux guerres mondiales. Il tenait les professeurs d’histoire responsables du climat de nationalisme belliqueux qui avait rendu possible la guerre de 1914–1918. Wells était arrivé à la conclusion que seule une réforme en profondeur de l’enseignement de l’histoire pouvait assurer la survivance de l’espèce humaine.
