In a period in which some three hundred crimes were designated as felonies and punishable by death, a consideration of crime must inevitably lead to a preoccupation with consequences. Crime and Consequence in Early Modern Literature and Law analyses contemporary literary and legal texts, including drama, poetry and commentaries on the law, and considers how ‘proportionable’ punishment was imagined in the early modern period and how the possibility of justice miscarried might influence that imagining.

And they've left me in jail and alone."So begins one of the most compelling, emotionally charged, and affecting novels you are likely to read this year.It is the summer of 1968 and a young man takes a job at a camp in upstate New York before starting his first semester at Columbia University.

Автор: Martha Moffitt Peacock Название: Heroines, Harpies, and Housewives: Imaging Women of Consequence in the Dutch Golden Age ISBN: 9004399038 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004399037 Издательство: Brill Рейтинг: Цена: 219160.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: In Heroines, Harpies, and Housewives, Martha Moffitt Peacock provides a novel interpretive approach to the artistic practice of Imaging Women of Consequence in the Dutch Golden Age. From the beginnings of the new Republic, visual celebrations of famous heroines who crossed gender boundaries by fighting in the Revolt against Spain or by distinguishing themselves in arts and letters became an essential and significant cultural tradition that reverberated throughout the long seventeenth century. This collective memory of consequential heroines who equaled, or outshone, men is frequently reflected in empowering representations of other female archetypes: authoritative harpies and noble housewives. Such enabling imagery helped in the structuring of gender norms that positively advanced a powerful female identity in Dutch society.

"Go back to Gringolandia, muchacho, or next time we steal the family jewels." Ordered by the powers who control him to undertake this perilous mission, what is Virgil to do?
Virgil Quinn finds himself at loose ends. His battles with the Cardinal of New York are behind him. Mary Ellen, his beloved mate of many years, has passed on to her just reward. A visit to Omaha, his home town, tells him that a man can't go home again.
Where then? What to do with his life? Reform of course. It's all he knows, and he converts an old Dodge van into a mini-RV and takes to the road to rectify the evils he is sure to find along the way.
First to Griswald, a desolate oil town held in permanent bondage by absentee billionaires. On to Luchaloca where he is caught up in a murderous dynastic struggle dating back to the days of Billy the Kid, a struggle that proves to be not what it appears. A visit by the deceased nun Sister Philomena, his lifelong mentor, sends him south on a mission far more dangerous than any he has faced in the past. Telling himself that his battles with the powerful Cardinal of New York have prepared him for the worst to come, he crosses the border into Mexico on a mission that history tells him could put him before a firing squad.
Crooks and hypocrites, killers and parasites, oligarchs and churchmen, Virgil must do battle with them all-and survive to write about it.
