This book explores the fin de siècle, an era of powerful global movements and turbulent transition, in Australia and beyond through a series of biographical microhistories. From the first wave feminist Rose Summerfield and the working class radical John Dwyer, to the indigenous rights advocate David Unaipon and the poet Christopher Brennan, Hearn traces the transnational identities, philosophies, ideas and cultures that characterised this era and permeated from Australia into the wider world. Recent a re-examination of Britain’s imperialist past, with changes to how its citizens understand, study and scrutinize its history. Examining issues such as Brexit, recent reassessments of Winston Churchill’s historical record, the so-called 'culture wars' and Britain’s uncomfortable reckoning with its imperial past, the book reconsiders what it means to be a “patriot” in Britain. the and from Edinburgh to Plymouth, this powerful collection examines the significance of locality in queer spaces and experiences in modern British history. Foregrounding the voices of LGBTQ-identified people through an innovative synthesis of source material – from letters and diaries to TV interviews and oral testimonies – this collection sheds light on these experiences in Britain and, chiefly, how they were shaped, and differentiated, through a complex relation with locality. Servants of Diplomacy offers a bottom-up history of the 19th-century Foreign Office and in doing so, provides a ground-breaking study of modern British diplomacy. Whilst current literature focuses on the higher echelons of the Office, Keith Hamilton sheds a new light on the administrative and social history of Whitehall which have, until now, been largely ignored. Lucidly-written and incredibly detailed, this book draws extensively from Foreign Office and Treasury archives and private manuscript collections, making it essential reading for anyone with an interest in British diplomatic history. From a ‘no surrender’ attitude to Republican hunger strikes to the Northern Ireland peace process, Kelly traces the evolutionary and sometimes contradictory nature of Thatcher’s approach to Northern Ireland. In doing so, this nuanced study reflects afresh on the political relationship between Britain and Ireland in the late-20th century. Making use of previously neglected archival sources, this is a vital resource for those interested in Thatcherism, Anglo-Irish relations, and 20th-century British political history. Bartrop examines the formation and execution of Australian government policy towards European Jews during the Holocaust period. The book also considers the (largely negative) popular attitudes toward Jewish immigrants in Australia, looking at how these views were manifested in the press and in letters to the Department of the Interior. Incorporating the voices of the Holocaust refugees and placing the country’s response in wider contexts, Bartrop provides an Australian perspective on one of the most ca

ABSTRACT A vibrant public sphere has come to be recognised as a necessary condition of modern democracies. Jürgen Habermas’s work has been a convenient point of departure for studies concerned with the concept of the public sphere and modernity, despite evidence mounting from feminist, postcolonial and subaltern studies that its despatialised nature and universalistic assumptions render invisible large groups that remained – temporally and spatially – outside the ‘mainstream’. Using examples from colonial and early modern India, this article demonstrates how these limitations play out in complex societies and why ‘space’ is pivotal in studying the public sphere, especially in caste societies. Following the spatial (re)turn within academia in the last decades, I argue that Henri Lefebvre’s work on social spaces provides a theoretical alternative that treats space with analytical rigour, allowing us to problematise the concept of the public sphere and to move away from Western Europe as an ‘ideal type’. The article demonstrates how an approach that is informed by Lefebvre’s framework is particularly useful in societies where caste influences spatiality and, consequently, lived experience – as well as having broader resonance and application.

ABSTRACT This article examines disabled people’s political activism in Britain before the emergence of the modern disability rights movement (DRM). Focusing on the campaign for shorter factory working hours in the 1830s and 1840s, it highlights the centrality of so-called ‘factory cripples’ to the reformist cause, both figuratively and as witnesses to the consequences of industrial labour. Drawing on a wide range of sources – from accounts of campaign speeches and gatherings to official reports and the writings and testimonies of impaired workers – the article shows how the factory movement opened spaces for working-class ‘maimed’ and ‘deformed’ people to talk about their experiences in their own words. Self-proclaimed ‘factory cripples’ engaged in the fight for shorter hours in complex and reciprocal ways, with some using it to advance a socio-cultural understanding of ‘disability’. Recognising this reminds us that disabled people engaged in significant forms of political activism long before the twentieth century and suggests that the analysis developed by the DRM was not as pioneering as some studies imply.

ABSTRACT This article argues that the failure of early twentieth-century novelistic, autobiographical and periodical literature to acknowledge or celebrate the novelty and social significance of the commercialisation of Bengali food reflected the deeply rooted caste and class prejudices underlying the dietary choices and literary styles of the Bengali bhadralok (educated middle class). As late as the 1970s, eminent Bengali littérateurs lamented the non-availability of ready-to-eat Bengali food, notwithstanding the fact that a chain of new public eateries called Pice hotels had been serving home-style Bengali food since the 1920s. The gastronomic revolution ushered in by these eateries was more or less ignored in contemporary print literature, with the notable exception of Bibhuti Bhushan Bandopadhyay’s celebrated novel, Adarsha Hindu Hotel, written in 1940. The failure of Bengali writers to acknowledge the pioneering role of Pice hotels in offering a socially inclusive dining experience in Bengal contrasted with their effusive celebration of the new culinary experiments that created a cosmopolitan eating culture of public dining in the colonial city of Calcutta at the turn of the twentieth century.
本文认为，20世纪早期的小说、自传和期刊文学未能承认或庆祝孟加拉食品商业化的新颖性和社会意义，这反映了根深蒂固的种姓和阶级偏见，这些偏见隐藏在孟加拉bhadralok(受过教育的中产阶级)的饮食选择和文学风格之下。直到20世纪70年代，著名的孟加拉人还在哀叹没有现成的孟加拉食品，尽管自20世纪20年代以来，一批名为“价格酒店”(price hotels)的新公共餐馆已经开始供应家常式孟加拉食品。这些餐馆带来的美食革命在当代印刷文学中或多或少被忽视了，除了比布蒂·布山·班多帕德海伊(Bibhuti Bhushan Bandopadhyay) 1940年写的著名小说《阿达尔沙印度教酒店》(Adarsha Hindu Hotel)。孟加拉作家未能承认派斯酒店在孟加拉提供社会包容性餐饮体验方面的先锋作用，与之形成鲜明对比的是，他们对20世纪初殖民城市加尔各答公共餐饮的国际化饮食文化的新烹饪实验充满热情的庆祝。
