"A veritable Augustus": the life of John Winthrop Hackett, newspaper proprietor, politician and philanthropist (1848-1916)
No full textIrish-born Sir John Winthrop Hackett (1848-1916) achieved substantial political and social standing in Western Australia through his editorship and part-ownership of the West Australian newspaper, his position as a Legislative Council member and as a layman in the Anglican Church. The thesis illustrates his strong commitment to numerous undertakings, including his major role in the establishment of Western Australia's first University.
This thesis will argue that whatever Hackett attempted to achieve in Western Australia, his philosophy can be attributed to his Irish Protestant background including his student days at Trinity College Dublin. After arriving in Australia in 1875 and teaching at Trinity College Melbourne until 1882, his ambitions took him to Western Australia where he aspired to be accepted and recognised by the local establishment. He was determined that his achievements would not only be acknowledged by his contemporaries, but also just as importantly be remembered in posterity. After a failed attempt to run a sheep station, he found success as part-owner and editor of the West Australian newspaper.
Outside of his business interests, Hackett’s commitment to the Anglican Church was unflagging. At the same time, he was instrumental in bringing about the abolition of state aid to church schools in Western Australia, which he saw as advantaging the Roman Catholic Church. He was a Legislative Council member for 25 years during which time he used his editorship of the West Australian, to campaign successfully on a number of social, industrial and economic issues ranging from divorce reform to the provision of economic infrastructure. As a delegate to the National Australasian Conventions he continually strove to improve the conditions under which Western Australia would join Federation. His crowning achievement was to establish the state’s first university, which he also generously provided for in his will. One of the most influential men in Western Australian history, his career epitomised the energy and ambition of the well-educated immigrant

Translation and language learning: the English version of Petrarch’s Triumph of Eternity attributed to Elizabeth I
No full textProficient in a number of languages, as contemporary observers often noted with amazement, Elizabeth I used translation to sharpen her linguistic skill and to investigate texts that became part of her intellectual inheritance. Thus, she translated classical authors as well as contemporary texts. This activity fits an age which saw translation not only as the most expedite way of learning and practising a language, but as an act of cultural appropriation, especially into languages such as English that were then building an intellectual vocabulary.
Thus the monarch reflected the position of early modern England, a nation seeking to find a sense of itself in the world. The political marginality of England was being overcome in financial and military terms; the role of the English language was still secondary, in comparison with the great classical and modern European languages. Translation could thus become part of the process of acquisition of culture through great foreign models, and contribute to the construction of the intellectual library of the sovereign and, by implication, of the nation.
The translation of Petrarch’s Triumph of Eternity has been attributed to Elizabeth, though the issue is controversial. Whether the attribution is founded or not, it tells us much about the construction of the Queen’s public persona. The present article analyses the translation in its cultural context, reflecting on the attitude the monarch had towards what was then a literary and cultural model (given also her predilection for the Italian language), and explores its relation with other works attributed to Elizabeth, especially her translation of Boethius’ De consolatione Philosophiae, seeing in both works a reflection on the role of the sovereign in a God-ordained universe

Anne Boleyn’s legacy to Elizabeth I: Neoclassicism and the iconography of Protestant Queenship
No full textElizabeth rarely spoke of her mother, and her feelings about her remain enigmatic. However there are striking resemblances between the 1533 coronation pageants for Anne Boleyn and Elizabethan royal iconography, especially in shared neoclassical themes of the Muses, the Three Graces, and the Judgement of Paris. This essay suggests that Elizabethan panegyrists revived and adapted images from the 1533 pageants to develop a new iconography of queenship that combined nationalism, Protestantism, and humanism. It particularly explores precedents for Spenser’s poetry in the works of John Leland (an author of the 1533 pageants), and traces possible links via academic entertainments of the 1560s. It proposes that one of the most potent legacies from mother to daughter was a new neoclassical iconography of English Protestant queenship
Tudor women writers fashioning masculinity
No full textThis thesis contributes to the growing interest in early modern masculinity and its literary representations by introducing texts by women writers into dialogue with their male-authored counterparts. It argues for a more nuanced approach that recognises that the concepts of masculinity and femininity can only be fully understood when studied in relation with each other.
The first chapter explores how, notwithstanding the wisdom of conduct books and marriage guides, the demands of the state may not always be commensurate with those of the domestic realm and shows that this conflict necessitates a rethinking of existing definitions of masculinity by focusing on selected writings of the Tudor sisters Mary and Elizabeth and Jane Fitzalan’s *Tragedie of Iphigeneia*. The second chapter identifies how Elizabeth’s unique discursive strategies were designed to elicit support from her male subjects and subdue the belligerence that simmered under polemic like John Stubbs’ *Gaping Gulf*. In her letters to Anjou, the chapter examines how Elizabeth manoeuvred around her position as a beloved and as a monarch to fashion a husband who would not only be sympathetic but also subordinate to her political authority. This chapter also shows how the fabulous world of John Lyly’s *Galatea* consummates the Queen’s desire for the ideal male subject. The final chapter investigates the construction of martial manhood. It juxtaposes Mary Sidney’s *The Tragedy of Antonie* with William Shakespeare’s *Antony and Cleopatra* to determine how the figure of Cleopatra, common to both plays, challenges and revises the martial code of masculinity as embodied by Antony. By examining the authorial position appropriated by Cleopatra in the plays and its impact on the narrative, this chapter also extends this thesis’ interest in the extent to which female characters within texts compete for diegetic control with male protagonists

Head to head: did it matter that Elizabeth I was a woman?
No full textWho can fail to be awed by the magnificent portraits of Elizabeth I: the Armada, the Ditchley,
and the Rainbow, to name but a few? They surely surpass even the glorifying images of Henry
VIII by Holbein, and of Charles I by Van Dyck, in their power to impress and fascinate. This not
only reflects the fact that the costume of elite Renaissance women was even more flamboyant
and sumptuous than that of men; Elizabeth’s portraits also draw us in with complex symbolism,
requiring interpretation like texts. Meanwhile, in literary texts themselves Elizabeth generated a
plethora of personae: as Thomas Dekker wrote in a court prologue of 1599, ‘some call her
Pandora, some Gloriana, some Cynthia, some Delphoeb
A life in uniform: The mediated images of Queen Elizabeth II, the Rainbow Queen
No full textQueen Elizabeth II spent her life in uniform. This article examines what that uniform looked like, what its significance and function was, and how her uniform acted as a discursive textual reference for the institution of the British monarchy. By contextualizing Elizabeth II’s various public uniform before, her early childhood dressed as a twin with Princess Margaret, and the influence of early designers Norman Hartnell and Hardy Aimes, and her later, streamlined wardrobe she co-designed with Angela Kelly, this article provides a framework within which to understand how the fashion of Elizabeth II contributed to public understanding of her, but more so, of the institution of the British monarchy as represented by mediated images of her and her reign
