Generalized Vector and Dyadic Analysis
Authors: Tai Chen-To 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
An indispensable reference tool for engineers, mathematicians, and physicists, this book offers details on previously unpublished methods of treating and presenting vector and dyadic analysis. Along with pointing out various fundamental misunderstandings in the presentation of concepts to date, Dr Tai presents original findings on a new symbolic method with the aid of a symbol vector. Additional features include: the introduction of a symbolic vector that leads to the systematic treatment of the entire subject of vector analysis . . . detailed derivations of theorems and identities . . . coverage of new topics such as surface vector analysis and dyadic analysis . . . concise but rigorous treatment of topics.
On-Line Signal Processing Of Space Phasor Quantities
Authors: Vas Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this chapter several circuits will be described which can be used for the on-line monitoring of the voltage, current, and flux linkage space phasors in a reference frame fixed to that side of the machine (stator or rotor) where the instantaneous values of the voltages and currents are monitored. Furthermore, the monitoring of the magnetizing flux linkage space phasor will also be discussed. Some of the circuits described are very simple to construct and utilize only passive elements, whereas others are simple and contain active elements as well. It should be noted that the concepts can also be implemented by using digital circuits. It is envisaged that in the future digital signal processors will perform most of the processing tasks encountered with electrical machines and drive systems.
Monitoring Of The Rotor Speed And Rotor Angle
Authors: Vas Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Tachometers can be used for monitoring the angular speed of a shaft. For this purpose it is possible to use a d.c. tachometer which can be a separately excited d.c. machine. When the separately excited d.c. machine operates as a generator, and if the field current is constant, under certain assumptions its armature voltage is proportional to the angular rotor speed. This is now proved.
Inverse Problems and Optimal Design in Electricity and Magnetism
Authors: Neittaanmäki P , Rudnicki M , Savini A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the la.st thirty years optimization theory has been extensively applied to the optimal design of mechanical structures and to the solution of inverse problems in structural mechanics. As a result, a large number of research papers and a number of excellent books, ranging from theory to applications, have been published. In contrast, optimization methods have only recently been applied in electromagnetism; so far, in fact, only books devoted to the finite-element formulation and to solutions of direct electromagnetic problems have been published.
Lie Groups
Authors: Rossmann Wulf 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book is intended as an introduction to the theory of Lie groups and their representations at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. It covers the essentials of the subject starting from basic undergraduate mathematics. The correspondence between linear Lie groups and Lie algebras is developed in its local and global aspects. The classical groups are analysed in detail, first with elementary matrix methods, then with the help of the structural tools typical of the theory of semisimple groups, such as Cartan subgroups, roots, weights, and reflections. The fundamental groups of the classical groups are worked out as an application of these methods. Manifolds are introduced when needed, in connection with homogeneous spaces, and the elements of differential and integral calculus on manifolds are presented, with special emphasis on integration on groups and homogeneous spaces. Representation theory starts from first principles, such as Schur's lemma and its consequences, and proceeds from there to the Peter- Weyl theorem, Weyl's character formula, and the Borel-Weil theorem, all in the context of linear groups.
Introduction to Numerical Methods for Water Resources
Authors: Wood W L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Numerical methods provide a powerful and essential tool for the solution of problems of water resources. This book gives an elementary introduction to the various methods in current use and demonstrates that different methods work well in different situations and some problems require combinations of methods. It is essential to know something of all of them in order to make a reasoned judgement of current practice. Their applications are discussed and more specialised versions are outlined along with many references making this an invaluable, comprehensive coverage of the field.
Numerical solution of surface flow equations by finite differences
Authors: Wood W L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses finite difference methods applied to the solution of surface flow equations. The examples chosen are those which can be solved by fairly simple methods. They are arranged in the order in which they occur in Table 1.1.1. The first, lateral velocity distribution across a channel, is an example of an ordinary differential equation boundary value problem. The box scheme, introduced in section 3.8, is applied in section 4.2 to the non-linear hyperbolic kinematic wave equation. Section 4.3 includes the box scheme and the Abbott scheme applied to the solution of the St Venant equations. Section 4.4 discusses the limitations on the use of these schemes and section 4.5 lists some alternatives. Section 4.5 describes in outline only some more sophisticated methods for the problem of vertically integrated two-dimensional surface flow.
Introduction
Authors: Davies Wendy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The period covered by this book, from AD 800 to 1100, or thereabout, is defined by two phases of attack from beyond the islands of Britain and Ireland, the first by Vikings from Scandinavia and the second by Normans from northern France.
Viking raiding began in the 79os and in a sense continued for nearly 300 years, although it is conventional to differentiate a ‘first Viking Age’ during the ninth century from a ‘second Viking Age’ in the late tenth and early eleventh.
Lords and Labour
Authors: Fleming Robin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Extraordinary transformations were taking place in Britain between the ninth century and the eleventh, which were changing the lives of both lords and their low-status dependants. At the beginning of the ninth century, before the transformations had begun in earnest, parts of England and Wales alike were places in which kings, great lords, and powerful religious communities often controlled very large territories. These territories were comprised not of single villages, but rather of scatters of small hamlets and farmsteads, and they often encompassed not only multiple settlements, but thousands of acres of fields, woodlands, and moors (Fig. 4.1).
Did it All Happen?
Authors: Coggins Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The first words of the Bible, in practically every translation, are ‘In the beginning’. From the very outset, that is to say, the biblical record is presented to us as a series of events that took place at a definite time in history, a history, moreover, whose beginnings could be traced. An earlier generation of biblical scholars expended great energy and learning in working out the date of every event from creation onwards, and many editions of the Authorized Version have included this dating system, worked out shortly after its original publication, by Archbishop Ussher of Armagh, according to which creation took place in the year 4004 bce.
The Old Testament as Liberation?
Authors: Coggins Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
So far, the primary aim of each chapter of this book has been to explore some of the ways in which a particular independent discipline—history, archaeology, sociology, and so on—can legitimately be applied to Old Testament study. From this point onwards, the pattern will be slightly different. We shall be looking at some of the ways in which the Old Testament has been regarded as furthering, or in some cases hindering, particular human concerns. Does it contribute an understanding of liberation from oppression? Do its predominantly male voices mean that women can gain little from it? How does it relate to our literary sensitivity? And finally, can it still be of value to those seeking religious and theological insights in a world far removed from that of ancient Israel? These will be the concerns that shape the remaining chapters of our exploration.
Can the Bible Speak to Women?
Authors: Coggins Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When this book was first published, it brought together the themes of liberation and of feminist readings in one chapter. Reference was then made to the increasing importance of this area of study, and one of the most striking developments since that first edition was published has been the continuing growth in biblical studies by women scholars, many of whom have addressed the question of the biblical presentation of women. It is not a new concern. In 1956 Rose Macaulay, in her delightful novel The Towers of Trebizond, wrote of the position of women as ‘that sad and well-nigh universal blot on civilisations’; it would be interesting to know whether she foresaw the great upsurge of interest in this whole matter which the next generation would bring. For our present context there are two closely related but distinct matters of concern; first, the way in which women’s studies, as an academic discipline in its own right, has affected Old Testament study; secondly, the renewed interest in the place of women in the Old Testament world. The two issues are bound together by the way in which a biblical view has often been taken as a model for a view of society and of relations between the sexes in the contemporary world.
What Kind Of Literature?
Authors: Coggins Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Whatever the disagreements about the interpretation of the Old Testament that we have noted in previous chapters, all will agree that the Old Testament is a body of literature. At first sight this might appear to be a relatively uncontroversial statement; in fact, as with practically any literature which has won high esteem, this in itself quickly leads to further dispute when interpretation is embarked upon.
General Studies of the Romantic Period
Authors: O’ Neill Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In recent years Romantic studies, always abundant, have multiplied at a headspinning rate. In this chapter I make no attempt at inclusiveness; even representativeness is a chimerical ambition. Instead, I draw highly selective attention to general studies of Romanticism and the Romantic period which may be regarded as significant, or particularly helpful for students, or both. For the most part, I concentrate on work from 1970 to the present, discussing studies of poetry, and studies of poetry and fiction, before studies of fiction. Overlap with later chapters has been kept to a minimum, though it is unavoidable in some cases: many books of a general kind contain discussions of individual authors, while many books focusing on specific authors contain innovative general discussions. Because ‘Romantic Gothic ‘ and ‘Fiction of the Romantic Period (Godwin, Wollstonecraft, Bage, Edgeworth, Burney, Inchbald, Hays, and Others) ‘-and the questions raised by such titles-are the subjects of chapters by Peter Garside and Susan Matthews, respectively, my treatment of these topics is brief. Again, since Robert Morrison has written a chapter on ‘Essayists of the Romantic Period ‘ and John Whale a chapter on ‘Political Prose ‘ of the period, the reader is referred to those chapters for books containing relevant general discussions. Michael Rossington ‘s and Jennifer Breen ‘s chapters make it unnecessary for me to talk in much specific detail about issues to do with the Romantic poetic canon or the impact of feminism on our reading of Romantic poetry, though both topics are mentioned in ensuing pages.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Authors: Hogle Jerrold E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To turn to the history of scholarly work on Shelley is to confront a succession of fervid disagreements, sometimes wildly divergent interpretations of his works, and sudden changes of opinion about him in short spans of time. These conflicts, for the most part, point to the very different assumptions by which he and his writing have often been perceived. The reactions of contemporaries to what he actually published from 1810 to 1821, given his unmistakable political and anti-orthodox stances, vary across a wide continuum depending on each reviewer ‘s social and religious affiliations, as we can see in what is reprinted from those years in White (1938), Hayden, Reiman (1972), Red path, and Barcus. Moreover, the rehabilitation of both his personal reputation and the aims of his writing after his sudden death have been heavily determined, though there have been exceptions, by where his interpreters have placed themselves between those who would turn him into the ethereal ‘pure poet ‘ safe for developing middle-class tastes (including Mary Shelley, the first of his posthumous editors) and those who would retain him as a voice for radical social reform (from Horace Smith to Bernard Shaw).
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Authors: Clemit Pamela 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley has long been celebrated and patronized as the author of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), a work which has been canonized on university and sixth-form courses, studied exhaustively by scholars of different critical persuasions, and travestied by film-makers. Yet relatively few readers of Frankenstein realize that Mary Shelley also wrote five other novels, one novella, two mythological verse dramas, dozens of tales, stories, essays, and reviews, two books of travel writings, and two sets of notes to her editions of P. B. Shelley ‘s works. However, the situation is changing. In the late 1980s, authoritative editions of her letters and journals appeared, which shed new light on her thirty-year career as a professional writer. More recently, the first scholarly edition of her novels and selected writings has been published, and this provides the basis for a critical reassessment of Mary Shelley as a major nineteenth-century writer. The beginnings of this reassessment are already apparent in recent criticism, which has moved beyond Frankenstein. Thus, as well as reviewing the most important developments in Frankenstein criticism, this survey will evaluate newer and more wide-ranging work.
Essayists of the Romantic Period (De Quincey, Hazlitt, Hunt, and Lamb)
Authors: Morrison Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Woodring ‘s anthology is the most complete, and features the work of nearly thirty Romantic prose writers, including long sections by De Quincey, Hazlitt, Hunt, and Lamb; Bromwich ‘s anthology contains key essays in literary criticism by these four, as well as essays by Wordsworth, Peacock, and Shelley: The Houtchens and Houtchens volume is still valuable for its comprehensive chapters on all four essayists, as well as on other prose writers such as Southey and Landor. Ireland ‘s book is long since out of date bibliographically, but contains long and useful compilations of contemporary assessments of the ‘char-acter, genius, and writings ‘ of Hazlitt, Hunt, and Lamb.
Political Prose of the Romantic Period
Authors: Whale John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The writings dealt with in this section are too multifarious to be easily defined by the word ‘political ‘; they should not be neatly separated according to generic boundaries such as ‘prose ‘ or ‘non-fictional prose ‘. To define the writers in this section against the ‘essayists ‘ dealt with earlier in the volume runs the risk of aestheticizing the work of liberals and polite radicals such as Hunt and Hazlitt. Taking Lamb, Hazlitt, and Hunt out of the political equation also means, of course, that the remaining figures-such as Burke, Paine, and Cobbett-lose by the arrangement. Most of the writers referred to here would not have recognized a perspective which could so easily separate the literary and the political. This is not to suggest that there were not very particular and meaningful distinctions to be made between different forms and kinds of writing in the period, but that the differences do not exhibit a clear-cut separation between what is ‘political ‘ and what is not. In the 1790s, middle-class writers self-consciously exploited a variety of kinds of writing in order to contribute to a highly politicized cultural debate. Wollstonecraft and Godwin, for example, wrote novels in conjunction with polemical journalism and political treatises; Cobbett and Paine each worked in a variety of genres stretching from history through to practical manuals. And a good case could be made out for Coleridge as the most rhetorically various political prose writer of this period, but for reasons of genre as well as canon he does not figure here. Recent critical methodologies have also taught us to be suspicious of such simple separations. Many of the most exciting recent critical and historiographical developments in this area have shown the benefits which come from treating such materials discursively. Only then can the rich heterogeneous nature as well as the historical significance of prose writing in this period be properly appreciated.
Television in Greater China: Structure, Exports, and Market Formation
Authors: Chan Joseph Man 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The term ‘Greater China’ has been gaining currency in scholarship and popular publications in the 1990s. In spite of its growing popularity, there is a lack of consensus as to what it represents. Harding (1993) has identified three dimensions by which Greater China is conceptualized. First, it denotes the economic integration between China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Secondly, it refers to the cultural exchanges amongst people of Chinese descent around the world. Thirdly, it refers to the possible re-establishment of a single Chinese state, reuniting the now politically fragmented territories. Each of the three themes--economic integration, cultural interaction, and political reunification-has different boundaries, different capitals or centres of activity, and takes different institutional forms. This article regards Greater China as the economic, political, and cultural space defined by the interactions between its three primary constituent parts-Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the People’s Republic or mainland China. The analysis of television in Greater China inevitably criss-crosses from one realm to another as television is dualistic in nature, possessing the properties of both commodity and culture, within a political context.
The Signs of Stage and Screen (1987)
Authors: Esslin Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Martin Esslin (b. 1918 in Vienna) has throughout his life combined a practical involvement in drama with a critical and theoretical interest in different aspects of the subject. He read English and Philosophy at the University of Vienna and trained as a director at the Reinhardt Seminar of Dramatic Art. Having fled to England from Nazism, he joined the BBC in 1940 as a producer and scriptwriter; from 1963 to 1977 he served as Head of Radio Drama. He was awarded the OBE in 1972. Changing to a teaching career, he was the Professor of Drama at Stanford University, California, from 1977 till 1988. Professor Esslin has written extensively on various aspects of modern drama, notably on Brecht, Pinter, Beckett, and Artaud.
The Clerk’s Tale
Authors: Cooper Helen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This passage functions very much as a prologue rather than a link. It offers no connection with any preceding tale, and by the time it finishes, the Clerk is already paraphrasing from the ‘prohemye’ to Petrarch’s tale of Griseldis. Even the Host’s plea to him not to talk in ‘heigh style’ may show Chaucer already at work on Petrarch, as his manuscript seems to have contained a reference to the stilo alto in which the work is written (as the Clerk notes at 41; Petrarch in fact wrote ‘stilo alio’, meaning a different language, Latin rather than Italian). The Host’s opening comparison of the Clerk to a new bride both recalls the commonplace comparison of the ideal clerk with a maiden, and glances forward to the content of the tale to come. So too does the Clerk’s response to the reminder that he has agreed to take part in the ‘play’ of the storytelling:
The Physician’s Tale
Authors: Cooper Helen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The story of the girl killed by her father to save her from the sexual attentions of an unjust judge bears some resemblances to Chaucer’s collection of stories of distressed, abandoned, and damaged women, the Legend of Good Women. It is possible that this Tale dates from the same period, the 1380s, and therefore may antedate the conception of the Canterbury Tales. There is, however, no independent evidence to support or disprove such a dating. Since Chaucer’s sister-in-law was both the mistress of John of Gaunt and the governess to his daughters, it is hard to believe that the lines on guardianship at the start of the Tale were written entirely ingenuously; but if Chaucer wrote them with any more specific topical reference in mind, the sentiments are too generalized to enable it to be recovered.
The Shipman’s Tale
Authors: Cooper Helen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The use of ‘we’ and ‘us’, and the oral delivery assumed by the narrator—‘but herkneth to my tale’ (23/1213)—indicate clearly that the Tale was written specifically for the Canterbury Tales, but the attribution of the story to the Shipman almost certainly represents second thoughts on Chaucer’s part. He seems originally to have intended it for the Wife of Bath: the opening twenty lines and the final couplet contain several first-person pronouns referring to wives in general, very much in the manner of those found in the present Wife’s Tale (III(D) 929-50) and Prologue.
The Prioress’s Tale
Authors: Cooper Helen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The dating of the Prioress’s Tale and its Prologue is an open question, but they were probably written as a single unit specifically for the Canterbury Tales. Some critics have read the tale as a satire on the Prioress, and therefore written with her in mind, but it is not so different from other Miracles of the Virgin (except in poetic quality) as to rule out independent composition.
The Nun’s Priest’s Tale
Authors: Cooper Helen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The link between the Monk’s and Nun’s Priest’s Tales exists in two forms. The shorter of these has the Host, not the Knight, interrupt the Monk; it omits lines 2771-90 (3961-80), passing straight from the idea of a little ‘hevynesse’ being enough for most people to there being no ‘desport ne game’ in such dreary stuff. In the longer version, the Knight does the interrupting on the grounds of his aversion to literary falls, and the Host chips in with his disparaging comments on the final lines of the Croesus legend and the ‘peyne’ of the whole series of tragedies.
Imitations of the Canterbury Tales 1400–1615
Authors: Cooper Helen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Parson’s Tale and Retractions may imply closure, but the Canterbury Tales is an unfinished work, and a work, moreover, that is effectively a compilatio a collection to which other items can be added. In the course of the two centuries after Chaucer’s death, a number of writers responded to Chaucer’s work by providing endings to unfinished tales, or by producing further Canterbury tales of their own, sometimes as additions to the sequence, sometimes as autonomous imitations. In addition, a number of the individual tales were reworked in various forms, including several dramatic versions to provide food for the insatiable appetites of Elizabethan theatregoers.
