SUMMARY:Anthony Trollope Down Under: Travel Writing\, Bushfires and Australian Ecology with Professor Grace Moore
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the Dickens Project invites you to participate in “Anthony Trollope Down Under: Travel Writing\, Bushfires and Australian Ecology with Professor Grace Moore.” The three sessions will offer the Friends a chance to examine Victorian responses to the environment\, with a particular emphasis on Australia. The first session will involve a presentation on Professor Moore’s current research\, which is on representations of bushfires and wildfires in nineteenth-century settler literature. The project is informed by both the environmental humanities and emotions theory and she will talk a little about these approaches. As part of this session\, she will introduce some of the work she has done on Anthony Trollope’s travels (especially his representations of fire and environmental issues). We will also spend some time thinking about how Trollope positioned himself as a successor to Dickens\, as both a novelist and travel writer. \n \n1/8/23\, 2pm PST – Research Talk:\nRepresentations of bushfires and wildfires in nineteenth-century settler literature\n2/12/23\, 2pm PST – Discussion: Chapters I-VI Harry Heathcote of Gangoil\n3/12/23\, 2pm PST – Discussion: Chapters VII-XII Harry Heathcote of Gangoil \nThe second and third sessions will be discussions of Trollope’s wonderfully melodramatic Christmas story Harry Heathcote of Gangoil (1874). The novella is set in Australia and draws on Trollope’s own experiences down under. It’s a remarkable work for the depth of emotions that it conveys\, but also for how it captures the uncanny and threatening qualities that settlers saw in the Australian bush. Professor Moore has chosen Harry Heathcote because it presents an aspect of Trollope’s writing that is often forgotten\, but also because it raises a number of fascinating issues including migration\, race and climate change\, which will\, she hopes\, lead to some lively discussions. \nGrace Moore is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Otago\, Aotearoa/New Zealand. She is the author of Dickens and Empire and The Victorian Novel in Context\, and her edited works include (with Michelle Smith)\, Victorian Environments. Grace’s most recent publication is a special issue of the journal Occasion\, entitled Fire Stories. She first attended the Dickens Universe as a graduate student in 1998. \nThis event series is presented by the Dickens Project.

SUMMARY:Race\, Violence\, and Form in Nineteenth-Century Ireland
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will bring together invited speakers from the US and Ireland to examine how recent sea changes in the field of Victorian studies—particularly its embrace of critical race studies\, strategic presentism\, and new formalism—create space to rethink both Ireland’s place in 19th-century British literary studies and the pressures Irish literature and its contemporary reverberations exert on the field’s forms of expansion. The presentations will all assert the need to resituate Ireland within the networks of aesthetic innovation\, economic experimentation\, and identity politics that circulated freely between England\, Ireland\, and America in the 19th century. Yet this re-contextualization necessarily moves in both directions\, showing not only how our understanding of Irish literature and culture changes when we consider it as part of a larger constellation of Victorian phenomena\, but also how our understanding of Victorian culture changes when we must accommodate Ireland as an integral part of its intellectual networks. In the interest of recent calls to unsettle the geographical\, racial\, and periodized confines of what constitutes “Victorian\,” as well as to unmoor Victorian studies from its long reliance on Anglocentric historicist methodologies\, this symposium challenges Ireland’s long history in the colonial margins of the field\, arguing instead that it plays an essential role in the expansion and revitalization of Victorian studies in the 21st century. \nFull symposium schedule at: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/race-violence-form-in-19c-ireland.html \nMany thanks to the UC Santa Cruz Literature Department\, the Siegfried B. and Elisabeth Mignon Puknat Literary Studies Endowment\, The Humanities Institute at UCSC\, and the Dickens Project for sponsoring this event.
