Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer
No full text‘Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer’ is a critical and creative answer to the question: How do we construct Anne Shirley, and what does she mean to us? This creative research submission is a work of fanfiction, specifically a mash up based on Anne of the Island, L.M.M. Montgomery’s sequel to Anne of Green Gables. In this short work of fiction (under 4 thousand words) Anne is revealed as a changeling, one of the Faerie Folk, and also a being not strictly male or female; sometimes neither, sometimes both. The mash up is based on the last two chapters of Anne of the Island, the scenes in which Gilbert Blythe is seriously ill and Anne realises she loves him. This realisation causes Anne, in this version, to reveal to Gilbert that she is both non-human and not a girl, and to use Faerie magic to save Gilbert’s life. Anne’s revelation causes Gilbert a great relief, as he has been keeping a secret also - that he too is queer. The piece has an accompanying research statement and reflection, that reflects on the ways the contributor/author interprets Anne, as a being troubled by gender, and not strictly gender conforming. The much-loved scene from Anne of Green Gables in which Anne realises she is not wanted by the Cuthberts because she is not a boy is inserted into the mash up (as a memory) as this scene is the principal cause for the contributor’s identification with Anne as a gender non-conforming figure who resists gender expectations. Overall, this creative and critical work and reflection queers both Anne as a character and the Anne of the Island novel.Book chapter - work of fiction with a critical reflective essa
The peerage and baronetage of the British empire as at present existing; arranged and printed from the personal communications of the nobility ...
No full textIn his preface to the 1st ed. Lodge says that the work "is classed in two volumes,--the one [i.e., The peerage of the British empire] comprising the living subjects of the British peerage, including their collateral branches ... and the other [i.e., The genealogy of the British empire, 1832] exhibiting concise historical sketches of their ancestry and families ... Each volume may be considered either as a whole or as a moiety." They are usually regarded as independent volumes, the latter being by Lodge himself and from its nature not calling for a new ed. each year."From motives of benevolence Lodge lent his name to an 'Annual peerage and baronetage,' 4 vols. 12mo, 1827-9, reissued in 1832 as the 'Peerage of the British empire,' &c., which was in reality the compilation of Anne, Eliza, and Maria Innes. The work is still published as 'Lodge's Peerage.'"--Dict. nat. biog.Dedication signed: Anne, Eliza, and Maria Innes, editors.Mode of access: Internet.With bookplate of Cornelius Low King.Without dedication page

A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
No full textThis thesis examines the day to day practices that constituted Anne Lister's (1791-1840) sexuality and sociability within the range of her writings, as well as her society. Anne's writings were a detailed account, spanning her lifetime, of her own love and relationships with the 'fairer sex' (Whitbread 1988, 145). Anne's sociality, seen in her correspondence and plain handwritten journal entries, has been explored by Muriel Green in Miss Lister of Shibden Hall and Jill Liddington in Female Fortune and Nature's Domain (Green 1992; Liddington 1998; 2003). As a gentlewoman of adequate means, Anne has garnered some attention from women's historians interested in her agency within an early nineteenth century social and historical context. Anne's sexual identity has been extensively analysed over the past nearly twenty years by lesbian feminists, queer theorists, women's historians and historians of sexuality concerned with the history and development of modern Western female homosexuality and gender. The source for theorising Anne's sexuality has been the edited selections of the crypted journal entries, published by Helena Whitbread in I Know My Own Heart and No Priest but Love (Whitbread 1988; 1992). However, many analyses deal either with the theorisation of Anne's sexuality or her sociality; the theoretical difficulty with reconciling these categories has troubled the analysis of her complex subjectivity. Drawing upon the archival materials, I have used an interdisciplinary feminist approach to analyse the sexual and social processes of Anne's everyday interactions in her writings. Taking the seven month period of the sojourn to Paris in 1824-25, I have focused upon Anne's textual practices within her journal volume and letters during her residence in Paris, her social practices with the other guests at the guesthouse 24 Place Vendome and her sexual practices with her lover, the widow Mrs. Maria Barlow. The journal volumes and correspondence are a valuable historical record of one gentlewoman's engagement with early nineteenth century British culture

'The cracked mirror': Anne Sexton's poetics of self-representation
No full textThis thesis re-evaluates the work of the poet Anne Sexton (1928-1974), concentrating, in particular, on the indeterminacies, contradictions and aporia which it finds to be characteristic of her ostensibly frank and self-revelatory writing. The study is based on a close textual
analysis of Sexton's writing, is informed by oststructuralist theories, and is sustained by an
examination and discussion of archive collections of her previously unpublished papers. In seeking an understanding of Sexton's poetics, the thesis identifies and interrogates the strategies of denial and obfuscation apparent in her own explication of her work - principally, by scrutiny of the unpublished, and previously unresearched, drafts of a series of lectures
which she delivered in 1972. Chapters One and Two consider the origins of `confessional' or - Sexton's preferred term - 'personal' poetry and reassess her place within contemporary poetry. They suggest that
Sexton's writing is engaged in a process of negotiation and contestation, both with the boundaries and expectations of confessionalism, and with the strictures of T. S. Eliot's theory of `impersonality'. In support of these arguments, Chapter Two offer a reading of Sexton's
little-known poem, `Hurry Up Please It's Time', alongside its intertext, Eliot's The Waste Land. Chapter Three reassesses received views of the supposedly beneficial interrelationship between confessional speaker and reader. It examines Sexton's appropriation of dramatic
masks and personae and her use of metaphors of striptease and prostitution, and suggests that these are employed simultaneously to appease and to repel an intrusive audience. Similarly, Chapters Four and Five trace Sexton's problematisation of two previously-accepted tenets of confessional poetry: its status as autobiography and its truthfulness, drawing attention to the techniques employed in order to give the impression of both. Chapter Six considers Sexton's
problematic engagement with a language which is not malleable, transparent, and referential but, rather, is experienced as uncooperative and occlusive. Finally, the thesis recuperates Sexton from the common charge of narcissism, arguing that it is the writing, rather than the poet, which is self-reflexive and self-conscious. In this respect, it concludes that her work - perhaps unexpectedly - anticipates many of the tendencies of postmodernist writing
Joseph George Long Innes
No full textSir Joseph George Long Innes was born on 16 October 1834, in Sydney. He was the son of Major Joseph Long Innes, Superintendent of Police, and Elizabeth Anne nee Reiby. He was educated at W.T. Cape's School and the King's School, Parramatta. Innes initially became clerk in the Surveyor General's Office from 21 June 1851 and from 14 December 1852 till 31 December 1854 a Clerk of Petty Sessions at Sofala and clerk to an Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands for Gold District. From 1855 to 1856 he was an Associate to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Alfred Stephen. Travelling to England, he entered Lincoln's Inn, London, studied law and was subsequently admitted to the English Bar in Michaelmas Term 1859 (i.e. October to December). (1)<br /><br />Innes returned to New South Wales in 1862, and was admitted to the New South Wales Bar on 28 February 1863. In 1865 he became a District Court Judge in Queensland, but returned to the New South Wales Bar in 1869. He sometimes acted as Crown Prosecutor. (2)<br /><br />In 1870 Innes chaired the Royal Commission into the workings of the present Gold Fields Act and Regulations of New South Wales. The Commission was established on 6 June 1870 and reported on 2 September 1870 and 13 October 1871. Many of the recommendations of the Commission were embodied in the Mining Act 1874 (37 Vic. No.13), including the establishment of a Department of Mines. (3)<br /><br />On 19 November 1872 Innes was a member of the Select Committee on patents which reported on 11 March 1873. It recommended amending the law on patents to better protect inventors. (4)<br /><br />In 1878 Innes was a member of the Select Committee on the treatment of prisoners in Berrima Gaol which sat on 2 May 1878 but ended when the Government established a Royal Commission on the subject. Innes chaired the five member Royal Commission to inquire and report upon the general management and discipline of the gaol at Berrima. Established by Letters Patent on 2 July 1878, it investigated criticisms made in Parliament concerning the treatment of prisoners by Gaoler, William Small, and reported on 26 November 1878. The Commission criticised Small and found that regulations had been disregarded. (5)<br /><br />Innes was a member of the New South Wales Parliament from 7 March 1872 to 14 October 1881, first as a Member of the Legislative Assembly for Mudgee till 11 August 1873 and from 9 September 1873 as a member of the Legislative Council. He held the positions of Solicitor-General (14 May 1872 to 19 November 1873), Attorney-General (20 November 1873 to 8 February 1875), Representative of the Government to the Legislative Council (11 August 1873 to 8 February 1875), Chairman of Committees (9 February 1875 to 16 December 1880) and Minister of Justice (11 August 1880 to 13 October 1881). (6) <br /><br />In 1874 Innes accompanied the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Hercules Robinson, on his special mission to Fiji when the country was annexed to the British Crown. He was knighted in January 1875 for his legal work in Fiji in drafting a provisional code of justice. (7) <br /><br />Innes was appointed a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales on 14 October 1881, a position he held until his death. In 1889-1890 he took leave of absence for his health and visited England. Innes again took leave of absence in late 1895, again due to ill health. Henry Emanuel Cohen was appointed an acting Judge on 19 July 1895 during Innes' absence. Cohen's appointment was extended twice more, on 24 January 1896 and 15 July 1896, to end on 3 September when Innes' leave of absence was due to end. (8)<br /><br />However Innes died in London on 28 October 1896. After his death, his fellow Judges commented on his devotion to duty. Justice Simpson stated: 'even at the very last, when he was physically unable to perform his duty, he struggled to do so until he was absolutely compelled to cease attending Court and to seek the rest which unhappily did not have the hoped for effect of returning him to health'. (9) <br /><br />Innes was interested in the arts. He was a trustee of Free Public Library from 11 February 1879 and the National Art Gallery of New South Wales from 15 December 1892. He was also a trustee of Rushcutters' Bay Park from 11 December 1885 and on the Committee of the Goodenough Royal Naval House, Sydney, which provided accommodation and welfare for Royal Navy sailors when ashore. (10)<br /><br />Innes was survived by his wife, Emily Janet nee Smith, whom he married on 5 July 1865, and five sons and one daughter. One son, Reginald Heath Long Innes, was a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales from 1925 to 1940, Judge in Bankruptcy from 1925 to 1928, and Chief Judge in Equity from 1935 to 1939.
