  • The Mad-Doctor

    The Mad-Doctor

    In June 1857, Dr Alfred Yates Carr wrote to his wife and young sons back in England from the Yarra Bend Lunatic Asylum, to which he had been committed three months before. Convinced of his own sanity and believing himself falsely imprisoned, he gave Louisa the latest news on his efforts to secure his freedom and return home. Before sealing the letter, he scribbled on the inside of the envelope “Keep up your spirits and do not despair, once out of this I do not think they will ever again succeed in getting me into an asylum. AYC”. Aside from a series of short escapes and releases, he would spend the rest of his life – 37 years – at Yarra Bend and Ararat lunatic asylums before he died, aged 73, in 1894. He never saw his family again. Carr appealed about his fate to members of the Victorian parliament and visiting doctors – who did not believe that he had a wife and children, thought that this was all part of his delusion. After all, he was clearly mad when he claimed that his mother had been murdered by his brother. Clearly mad when he claimed that the bouts of theft and violence that resulted in his committal were due to poisoning by Indian Hemp, which had been surreptitiously introduced into his tobacco by a longstanding foe. Clearly mad when he claimed to have been viciously beaten by asylum attendants, or kept in solitary confinement for three days without water. It was to provide for his family back in England, Carr said, that he put in a claim against the government for non-payment for his medical services in the aftermath of the Eureka rebellion.
  • Water Politics in Victoria: the Impact of Legislative Design, Policy

    Water Politics in Victoria: the Impact of Legislative Design, Policy

    Water Politics in Victoria The impact of legislative design, policy objectives and institutional constraints on rural water supply governance Benjamin David Rankin Thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne Institute for Social Research Faculty of Health, Arts and Design Swinburne University of Technology 2017 i Abstract This thesis explores rural water supply governance in Victoria from its beginnings in the efforts of legislators during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to shape social and economic outcomes by legislative design and maximise developmental objectives in accordance with social liberal perspectives on national development. The thesis is focused on examining the development of Victorian water governance through an institutional lens with an intention to explain how the origins of complex legislative and administrative structures later come to constrain the governance of a policy domain (water supply). Centrally, the argument is concentrated on how the institutional structure comprising rural water supply governance encouraged future water supply endeavours that reinforced the primary objective of irrigated development at the expense of alternate policy trajectories. The foundations of Victoria’s water legislation were initially formulated during the mid-1880s and into the 1890s under the leadership of Alfred Deakin, and again through the efforts of George Swinburne in the decade following federation. Both regarded the introduction of water resources legislation as fundamentally important to ongoing national development, reflecting late nineteenth century colonial perspectives of state initiated assistance to produce social and economic outcomes. The objectives incorporated primarily within the Irrigation Act (1886) and later Water Acts later become integral features of water governance in Victoria, exerting considerable influence over water supply decision making.

    Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity

    Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity by Janine Gibson BA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of (Doctor of Philosophy) Deakin University December, 2016 Acknowledgments I am indebted to the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University (Geelong), especially to my principal supervisor Professor David McCooey whose enthusiasm, constructive criticism and encouragement has given me immeasurable support. I would like to gratefully acknowledge my associate supervisors Dr. Maria Takolander and Dr. Ann Vickery for their interest and invaluable input in the early stages of my thesis. The unfailing help of the Library staff in searching out texts, however obscure, as well as the support from Matt Freeman and his helpful staff in the IT Resources Department is very much appreciated. Sincere thanks to the Senior HDR Advisor Robyn Ficnerski for always being there when I needed support and reassurance; and to Ruth Leigh, Kate Hall, Jo Langdon, Janine Little, Murray Noonan and Liam Monagle for their help, kindness and for being so interested in my project. This thesis is possible due to my family, to my sons Luke and Ben for knowing that I could do this, and telling me often, and for Jane and Aleisha for caring so much. Finally, to my partner Jeff, the ‘thesis watcher’, who gave me support every day in more ways than I can count. Abstract With a long, illustrious history from the early Greek pastoral poetry of Theocritus, the elegy remains a prestigious, flexible Western poetic genre: a key space for negotiating individual, communal and national anxieties through memorialization of the dead.

    Algernon Charles Swinburne: the Causes and Effects of His Sapphic

    ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE: THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF HIS SAPPHIC POSSESSION By ANTHEA MARGARET INGHAM A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The thesis regards the extraordinary power of Sappho in the 1860s as resulting in a form of “Sapphic Possession” which laid hold on Swinburne, shaped his verse, produced a provocative new poetics, and which accounted for a critical reception of his work that was both hostile and enthralled. Using biographical material and Freudian psychology, I show how Swinburne became attracted to Sappho and came to rely on her as a substitute mistress and particular kind of muse, and I demonstrate the pre-eminence of the Sapphic presence in Poems and Ballads: 1, as a dominant female muse who exacts peculiar sacrifices from the poet of subjection, necrophilia, and even a form of “death” in the loss of his own personality; as a result, he is finally reduced to acting as the muse’s mouthpiece, a state akin to that of Pythia or Sibyl.

George attended a preparatory school in London, and later received lessons from his mother. Georgiana and her four sons emigrated to Melbourne in 1841 following her husband who emigrated in 1839. <b>Career</b> After a few years as a surveyor, McCrae joined the Victorian Government service, eventually becoming Deputy Registrar-General, and also a prominent figure in literary circles. Most of his leisure time was spent in writing. His first published work was Two Old Men's Tales of Love and War (London, 1865). His son <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/hugh-mccrae/">Hugh McCrae</a> also a poet, produced a volume of memoirs (My Father and My Father's Friends) about George and his association with such literary figures as <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/henry-kendall/">Henry Kendall</a>, <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/adam-lindsay-gordon/">Adam Lindsay Gordon</a>, <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/richard-henry- horne/">Richard Henry Horne</a> and <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/marcus-clarke/">Marcus Clarke</a>.

    Oriental Diction and Theme in English Verse, 1740-1840

    BULLETIN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HUMANISTIC STUDIES Vol. 2 May 1, 1916 No. 1 ORIENTAL DICTION AND THEME IN ENGLISH VERSE, 1740-1840 BY EDNA OSBORNE, A. M. Fellow-elect in English, The University of Kansas LAWRENCE, MAY, 1916 PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE The writer's interest in Orientalism in English literature began at the University of Illinois in 1911, when Professor H. G. Paul, in a lecture on the Romantic poets, emphasized Byron's Oriental coloring and suggested that its study would make a good thesis. A little later this interest took form in a master's thesis on The Orientalism of Byron, which was accepted by the English Depart• ment of the University of Kansas in 1914. This preliminary study opened up a field which seemed boundless, and which offered very attractive appeals to the student of foreign influences on English literature. One does not need to be acquainted with Oriental languages or Oriental literature to trace with some profit the effects of Oriental interests on English verse and prose. It has been impossible to examine all the English verse from 1740 to 1840; but the chief poets have been reviewed with a good deal of care, and many of the minor ones. The Oriental drama offers a field by itself, and only a few dramas have been included in the present survey. It is hoped that all the main characteristics of Oriental diction and theme in the period have been recognized and given some attention in this paper. There has been no effort at a microscopic examina• tion, at inclusion of every possible poet, passage, or term.
