This seminar explores how Neo-Victorian fiction constructs Australia, New Zealand and the Southern Pacific as, variously, the site of uncanny domesticity, an Other to Britain, a landscape to be colonised or scientifically appropriated, a frontier for the testing of masculinity, an occasion for re-writing of canonical texts. We aim to investigate the intersection of Neo-Victorian preoccupations with nineteenth-century discourses with post-colonial theorising of settler colonialism.<\/p>\n<p>Please send proposals to: <a href=\"mailto:Mariadele.Boccardi@uwe.ac.uk\">Mariadele.Boccardi@uwe.ac.uk<\/a> <a href=\"mailto:therese.meyer@anglistik.uni-halle.de\">therese.meyer@anglistik.uni-halle.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following ESSE 2016 seminar is still looking for contributors.
