  • Shadow of Dispute
    Shadow of Dispute ASPECTS OF COMMONWEALTH — STATE RELATIONS 1901-1910 D. I. Wright Shadow Shadow Disputeof Bä This book is the first detailed study of what happened when the well- established Australian colonial govern­ ments joined together to form the Commonwealth of Australia. It tells how the State politicians, anxious not to lose the political limelight, strove to maintain their former power and status virtually unchanged, and how the poli­ ticians of the new Commonwealth Government seized every opportunity to enhance their own authority and prestige. The part played by the Colonial Office in settling some of the disputes which arose is of particular interest now that its influence has waned completely. The study also reveals something of the jealousy which persisted between Victoria and New South Wales and of the first attempts at co-operation between Commonwealth and State. One thing which emerges clearly from this book is that during the period 1901-10 a pattern of inter-governmental relations was formed in Australia which has not greatly changed since — a pattern marked at the same time by co-operation and antipathy, where the steady growth of Commonwealth power has continued to be resisted firmly by the States. The writing of this book involved research into a mass of hitherto un­ examined official government corres­ pondence, both Commonwealth and State. Its interest is not only for his­ torians, but for all who wish to learn something of the background to Commonwealth-State relations and who seek to understand the continuing rivalries which are a feature of the relationship. Price in Australia $3.95 This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991.

  • Family and Empire Between Britain, British Columbia and India, 1858-1901
    Relative Distances: Family and Empire between Britain, British Columbia and India, 1858-1901 Laura Mitsuyo Ishiguro UCL This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD. I, Laura Mitsuyo Ishiguro, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 1 Abstract This thesis explores the entangled relationship between family and empire in the late-nineteenth-century British Empire. Using the correspondence of British families involved in British Columbia or India between 1858 and 1901, it argues that family letters worked to make imperial lives possible, sustainable and meaningful. This correspondence enabled Britons to come to terms with the personal separations that were necessary for the operation of empire; to negotiate the nature of shifting relationships across imperial distances; and to produce and transmit family forms of colonial knowledge. In these ways, Britons ‘at home’ and abroad used correspondence to navigate the meanings of empire through the prism of family, both in everyday separations and in moments of crisis. Overall, the thesis argues, letter-writing thus positioned the family as a key building block of empire that bound together distant and different places in deeply personal and widely experienced, if also tenuous and anxious, ways. The thesis follows a modular structure, with chapters that explore overlapping but distinct topics of correspondence: food, dress, death and letter- writing itself. Each of these offers a different lens onto the ways in which family correspondence linked Britain with India and British Columbia through intimate channels of affection, obligation, information and representation.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL PREFACE In sending forth this work, the author will only express his hope, that if, notwithstand ing his inexperience as a writer, it should secure a reading, it will compel attention to a Colony and a Church that have very peculiar claims on British philanthropy. This is a period of centenary celebrations. The year 1887 was a very important one in Sierra Leone. The Queen's Jubilee, and the completion of a hundred years since the arrival of the first settlers from London, in 1787, laid upon the Colony the necessity of having a demonstration worthy of such a happy combination. And a very interest ing celebration it was. At that time the writer was not qualified, VI PREFACE either by experience or by observation, to venture upon anything beyond a commemor ative sermon or speech.

  • Havelock Ellis' Search for the Sacred: Sexology, Spirituality and Science in Turn-Of-The-Century Britain
    HAVELOCK ELLIS' SEARCH FOR THE SACRED: SEXOLOGY, SPIRITUALITY AND SCIENCE IN TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY BRITAIN by CATHERINE PAUL B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 2006 © Catherine Paul, 2006 ABSTRACT Havelock Ellis, the prolific sexologist and social reformer, was a key participant in what George Mosse has described as a shift from the clergyman to the scientist as the guardian of normality. And yet, analysis of Ellis' life (1859-1939) and work complicates the "priest to scientist" trajectory. Throughout his writing Ellis used the idea of the "sacred" to represent the sexual impulse, he borrowed the authority and respectability of priests for the new sexual scientist and the role of "saviour" for the eugenic project. In order to justify his claims he demonized women's sexuality and religious excess in new ways. For Ellis the sexual impulse could be understood as a potent, "sacred" force in all aspects of life; those women, especially nuns, who denied this reality were shown to be mentally, physically and spiritually degenerate. In his writing about masturbation, particularly Auto-Erotism and its appendix, "The Auto-erotic Factor in Religion," Ellis vilified women's sexuality as being more prone to perversion than men's and especially dangerous when these women did not conform with existing gender norms. This was partly a response to the growing popularity of sisterhoods during Ellis' lifetime. Ellis saw these women as obstacles to eugenic progress.
