Unlike many of the other British colonies such as India and Africa, due to its demographics the Australian colonies by and large remained absent from nineteenth-century racial violence, thus allowing greater possibilities for economic advancement and social rehabilitation of disenfranchised English populations.

  • Magwitch's Revenge on Society in Great Expectations
    Magwitch’s Revenge on Society in Great Expectations Kyoko Yamamoto Introduction By the light of torches, we saw the black Hulk lying out a little way from the mud of the shore, like a wicked Noah’s ark. Cribbed and barred and moored by massive rusty chains, the prison-ship seemed in my young eyes to be ironed like the prisoners (Chapter 5, p.34). The sight of the Hulk is one of the most impressive scenes in Great Expectations. Magwitch, a convict, who was destined to meet Pip at the churchyard, was dragged back by a surgeon and solders to the hulk floating on the Thames. Pip and Joe kept a close watch on it. Magwitch spent some days in his hulk and then was sent to New South Wales as a convict sentenced to life transportation. He decided to work hard and make Pip a gentleman in return for the kindness offered to him by this little boy. He devoted himself to hard work at New South Wales, and eventually made a fortune. Magwitch’s life is full of enigma. We do not know much about how he went through the hardships in the hulk and at NSW. What were his difficulties to make money? And again, could it be possible that a convict transported for life to Australia might succeed in life and come back to his homeland? To make the matter more complicated, he, with his money, wants to make Pip a gentleman, a mere apprentice to a blacksmith, partly as a kind of revenge on society which has continuously looked down upon a wretched convict.

  • Ned Kelly's Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose”
    Ned Kelly’s Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose” Dr. Stuart E. Dawson ∗ (Monash University) Abstract: It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. This is a key part of a prevalent Kelly mythology that has been subject to little serious critique. Yet the attribution of the phrase ‘Such is life’ to Kelly is pure fiction. Analysis of the reportage of the day reveals Kelly’s actual last words, and explains how they were transmuted by one journalist into the catchy expression quoted as fact by many historians. It shows that the image of Kelly standing tall and defiant, saying ‘Such is life’ as the rope was placed around his neck, is nothing but a highly romanticised myth. In fact, Kelly came to an ignominious, mumbling end on the scaffold, a far cry from popular legend. Keywords: Ned Kelly, Edward Kelly, Kelly Gang, Ned Kelly facts, Ned Kelly bushranger, Ned Kelly museum, Old Melbourne Gaol, famous last words. It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. 1 To television producer, Paul Terry, “the fatalistic and courageous ‘Such is life’ has become synonymous with Ned and everything he stood for”. 2 The claim has been relayed in Australian history texts and is commonly taught as fact to school children. 3 In Peter Carey’s Booker Prize-winning novel True History of the ∗ I wish to thank Sharon Hollingsworth for her valuable input and detailed discussion throughout the writing of this article, and Caroline Oxley of the Victoria Police Museum for copies of several historic documents.

  • Before You Begin Reading the Novel… Great Expectations Begins One
    Great Expectations by Charles Dickens “Info to know” before you begin reading the novel… Great Expectations begins one dreary, chilly afternoon in a churchyard in the marshes. A young boy stands shivering with cold and staring at the gravestones that bear the names of his father and mother. From the instant that the boy hears “a terrible voice” boom from among the graves, the author holds your attention to the very end of this dramatic mystery novel. Even though the events in the book take place well over a hundred years ago, the people you will meet have the same problems, interests, and hopes we have today. All of us must face the problems of growing up, and Pip, the main character in the book, is no exception. Just as we all have friends who influence and help us, so does Pip. In Joe, Biddy, Estella, Herbert, and Mr. Jaggers, you may recognize “people” whom you have known all your life. Dickens was popular because he had a deep interest in people and their motives. Few writers can match Dickens’ sharp wit when his pen becomes a knife and cuts the mask of pretense from people who pose as being sweet and kind when they are really rascals. When he wrote about convicts, Dickens wrote as one who knew them himself, just as he knew pickpockets, beggars, and murderers from his own early years. His characters are real to us because they were real to him. Great Expectations will leave many strong impressions with you. Pip faces the problems of growing up in a time and a country much different from our own of the present century.

Paterson Sydney Angus and Robertson 1905 Preface The object of the present publication is to gather together all the old bush songs that are worth remembering. Apart from other considerations, there are many Australians who will be reminded by these songs of the life of the shearing sheds, the roar of the diggings townships, and the campfires of the overlanders. The diggings are all deep sinking now, the shearing is done by contract, and the cattle are sent by rail to market, while newspapers travel all over Australia; so there will be no more bush ballads composed and sung, as these were composed and sung, as records of the early days of the nation. In their very roughness, in their absolute lack of any mention of home ties or of the domestic affections, they proclaim their genuineness.

  • Great Expectations: What Regional Policy Can Realistically Achieve in Australia
    Great Expectations: What Regional Policy Can Realistically Achieve in Australia Paul Collits Manager Regional Policy, NSW Department of State and Regional Development Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Faculty of the Built Environment, University of New South Wales Paper presented to the Inaugural National Regional Research Colloquium, Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics, Canberra, 19 February 2004 The views expressed in the paper are not necessarily those of the NSW Department of State and Regional Development or of the NSW Government. 1 Introduction There is continuing faith among many observers of regional development, both academics and interest groups, in the capacity of central governments to deliver better outcomes (variously defined) in non-metropolitan Australia. Not unrelated, there is also widespread support for more interventionist policies than exist at the moment. Suggestions range from European Union style big spending approaches, through national frameworks for urban and regional development, to better regional “governance” and proposals for US style enterprise zones. Possible moves by governments towards significantly greater intervention should be treated with great caution, and, in the end, resisted. In other words, we should adopt what the environmentalists call the “precautionary principle” in relation to regional development policy. This is not to argue that governments have “got it right” in Australia in relation to all the detail of regional development policy, but rather that the current policy consensus across most jurisdictions, favouring “limited intervention”, is wise. This is because, first, the capacity for governments to intervene effectively to achieve substantially different regional outcomes to those characteristic of the present spatial economy is massively constrained by a whole range of factors.

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 Abstract This thesis argues that real-life forgery cases significantly shaped the form of Victorian fiction. Forgeries of bills of exchange, wills, parish registers or other documents were depicted in at least one hundred novels between 1846 and 1879. Many of these portrayals were inspired by celebrated real-life forgery cases. Forgeries are fictions, and Victorian fiction’s representations of forgery were often self- reflexive. Chapter one establishes the historical, legal and literary contexts for forgery in the Victorian period. Chapter two demonstrates how real-life forgers prompted Victorian fiction to explore its ambivalences about various conceptions of realist representation. Chapter three shows how real-life forgers enabled Victorian fiction to develop the genre of sensationalism. Chapter four investigates how real-life forgers influenced fiction’s questioning of its epistemological status in Victorian culture.

Mitchell Library, State Library of NSW Notable Convicts The Reserve Bank of Australia is a custodian of colonial records, including records that document money belonging to convicts.
