Presented by Clare PettittGrace 2 Chair, Faculty of English University of Cambridg eWhite Gold: Extractive Logic and Seriality in the Nineteenth Century uses the pre-Raphaelite sculptor Thomas Woolner’s career as a case study to as k conceptual questions about the role of ‘global’ serial publications, lo ng-distance communications, and compressive forms in the establishment an d maintenance of white colonial authority in the mid-nineteenth century. W oolner travelled to Australia to dig for gold in 1852 and then stayed on t o start a successful sculpting business before returning to England in 185 4 to continue his artistic career. With Francis Palgrave and Alfred Tennys on, Woolner curated a poetry anthology, The Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language (1861), which became wide ly known as Palgrave’s Golden Treasury. Using sculpture and poetry, White Gold will consider the emergence of an extractive imagination in both mat erial and literary terms, continuing the investigation into nineteenth-ce ntury seriality in Pettitt’s recent monographs.*Please note that this lect ure will contain references to racism and colonial violence in the ninetee nth century and viewer discretion is advised.  Register for In-person Atte ndanceThe in-person lecture will be followed by a reception.

The second part, entitled Serial Revolutions 1848: Wr iting, Politics, Form, shows how press reports and literary witness acc ounts of the 1848 European revolutions were crucial to creating internatio nal ideas of global citizenship and human rights.
