‘Not of an Age’ Jonson, Shakespeare, and the Verdicts of Posterity
Authors: Donaldson Ian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
‘HE was not of an age, but for all time!’, declared Ben Jonson in his poem ‘To the Memory of My Beloved, The Author, Mr William Shakespeare, and What He Hath Left Us’, that stands at the head of Shakespeare’s r623 First Folio. These were brave words in r623: no one until then had so positively asserted the perennial and enduring nature of Shakespeare’s genius, hailing him so boldly as a writer for all time. By the late eighteenth century Jonson’s phrase had changed from a lively prediction to an uncontested truism. Shakespeare had by now self-evidently stood the test of time, and appeared to belong to more ages than one. In the late twentieth century the tribute has become once more debatable: Shakespeare is no longer viewed as a timeless and transhistorical genius, but as a textual phenomenon that is constantly reconstructed, constantly reinvented, constantly reinterpreted by every age according to its needs, priorities, and pre conceptions. At the end of his memorial poem, Jonson figures Shakespeare as a fixed star, shining chidingly and cheeringly from the heavens throughout all time. For Gary Taylor, Shakespeare is no longer a star but a black hole, an insatiable vortex, ‘spinning, suck ing, growing’, a source and centre of massive critical turbulence. In this new and sharply relativist vision, Shakespeare has become, as Derek Longhurst puts it in the title of a recent revisionist essay, ‘ “Not for all time, but for an Age” ‘.

Abstract
IN descriptive bibliographies it is conventional to make a distinction be- tween books written by an author and books edited or compiled by him/ her. Unfortunately this sharp demarcation does not work satisfactorily for Betjeman’s books. In a number of his guidebooks, for example, he is described as the editor, presumably because he drew his information from a variety of published sources, yet it seems obvious that, by any ordinary standard, he would have to be regarded as the author.
Fielding, Grub Street, and Canary Wharf
Authors: Uglow Jenny 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The name ‘Grub Street’ was originally applied to Milton Street, a warren of garrets and tenements in Moorfields where poor writers lived at the end of the seventeenth century. Their work included indexing, proofing, compiling dictionaries, translating and writing poems to order for special occasions. By the 1720s this milieu spread through the impoverished wards that clung to the edges of the city, curling round to Clerkenwell and St John’s Gate —home of the Gentleman’s Magazine in the 1730s and for a while, until recently, of The Times Literary Supplement. Canary Wharf, also on the city’s margins, is a megalith of glass and steel and concrete, an emblem to many of over-reaching entrepreneurism, 1980s greed and spiritual (and financial) bankruptcy.
Coleridge and the Uses of Journalism
Authors: Leader Zachary 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Coleridge had strong political as well as pecuniary motives for writing for newspapers and periodicals but the most important effect journalism had on him was psychological: it was good for his creative health.1 This effect was most pronounced in the period of his deepest engagement with the editor and polemicist Daniel Stuart and the newspaper he had recently purchased, the Morning Post, from the years I797 to I803.
Literature, Propaganda, and the First World War: The Case of Blackwood’s Magazine
Authors: Finkelstein David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Former editors of Blackwood’s Magazine (or Maga as it was universally known) cherished the following anecdote of a near death experience. It is February 1918, and in a dugout on the Arras line in France, a soldier sits reading his favourite monthly journal. The call to arms is sounded and, slipping the issue into a pocket of his trenchcoat, the soldier prepares for duty. A shell explodes nearby, sending shrapnel spinning through the trenches. A fragment finding its way to him is stopped by the thick pages of the magazine nestling in his breast pocket. The chewed-up pages of the journal are subsequently sent to Edinburgh as proof that Blackwood’s Magazine possesses miraculous powers. The relic is still preserved in the archives of the National Library of Scotland.
‘Between the Saxon Smile and Yankee Yawp’: Problems and Contexts of Literary Reviewing in Ireland
Authors: Longley Edna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Impartial cnt1c1sm is a more than usually delicate task where a small country like Ireland is concerned. When the intellectual centre is confined within a restricted area, personal relations are unavoidable, and the critic finds discretion imperative, if he is to continue to dwell peaceably in the midst of his friends … The effect … of this absence of critical judgement, publicly expressed, has been that honest criticism prefers to be silent where it cannot praise. Consequently there is a lack of intellectual discipline which allows the good and the mediocre to struggle on equal terms for recognition. In Ireland we have become accustomed to hearing Irish writers either enthusiastically advertised by the English press, or denounced as charlatans, usurping the fame reserved for genuine heirs of England’s glory ... We cannot expect others to show more discrimination than ourselves.
Between Metaphysics and Scientism: Rehistoricizing VÍctor Erice’s El espiritu de la colmena (1973)
Authors: Smith Paul Julian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There seems little doubt that Vfctor Erice is the consummate Spanish art director. A recent reading of his first feature, El espiritu de la colmena (I973), by Santos Zunzunegui begins by stating that there is a ‘fundamental agreement’ amongst critics that Erice’s work constitutes not only the high point of Spanish cinema of all time, but also one of the most notable examples of contemporary Spanish art in general (I994: 42). It is characteristic of Erice’s reception abroad that in Britain Elespiritu de la colmena is distributed in a video collection which bears the name ‘Art House’. The most cursory examination of Spanish press coverage of Erice’s career reveals the preconceptions implicit in such a term: his films are favourably contrasted with more commercially successful Spanish cinema.
Motherland: Space, Femininity, and Spanishness in Jamon jamón (Bigas Luna, I992)
Authors: Deleyto Celestino 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
AMÓN jamón (1992) was the first and commercially most successful film of Bigas Luna’s ‘Trilogía Ibérica’, followed the next year by Huevos de oro and, finally, La teta y la luna (1995). The three films provide different but interconnected views of contemporary Spain: Jamón jamón is set in a rural area of Aragón; the central and longest part of the action of Huevos de oro takes place among the sky-scrapers of Benidorm, Spain’s most popular tourist resort on the Mediterranean; and the story of La teta y la luna is situated in a little village in the autonomous region of Catalonia. The films are, therefore, more consciously than, for example, those of Pedro Almodóvar, explicit attempts to present a cultural tapestry of Spain in the last decade of the twentieth century. In all three cases, the main emphasis is on gender relationships and sexuality.
Indians and Irish from Montaigne to Swift
Authors: Rawson Claude 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At the end of Gulliver’s Travels, Gulliver contemplates his ‘Duty as a Subject of England’ to inform the Secretary of State of the countries he has visited, ‘because, whatever Lands are discovered by a Sub ject, belong to the Crown’ (IV. xii. 293). He decides against doing this for various reasons. Either the conquests would be worthless (in the case of the tiny Lilliputians), or else the inhabitants might defeat the invader, a prospect Gulliver contemplates with a certain glee. ‘I doubt’, he explains, invoking a familiar American example, ‘whether our Conquests in the Countries I treat of, would be as easy as those of Ferdinando Cortez over the naked Americans.’ Moreover, some of the societies ought in his view be civilizing us, instead of the other way round. These reasons belong to familiar debates about empire, and their implications, which are not as simple as they might appear, are part of the subject of this book.
‘Something is Taking its Course’: Dramatic Exactitude and the Paradigm of Serialism in Sarnuel Beckett
Authors: White Harry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A remarkable feature of Waiting for Godotis that it constitutes not an end, but a beginning. A body of work, including Beckett’s own dramatic writings, is derived from it. Notwithstanding George Steiner’s eloquent (if dismissive) characterization of Godotas a dessicated epilogue to tragic drama, the modal integrity of Beckett’s voice has long been acknowledged as a vital presence in post-war European theatre. His work is at once a persuasion towards the absolute condition of silence and a wager on the intelligibility of dramatic discourse nevertheless. The strategic inventories of that discourse, in which language attains to a fundamental critique of meaning, ironize and undermine the accord between rhetoric and experience which signifies intelligence in the classical drama. Beckett’s disengagement from that accord, no more
Proust and Schopenhauer: Music and Shadows
Authors: Pilling John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Beckett’s only extended assessment of what music might mean occurs toward the end of his first commercially published book, the critical essay Proust(1931).Like much else in Proust,though rarely elsewhere in the essay so explicitly, Beckett’s discussion is effectively applied to Schopenhauer, his source the celebrated excursus on music in the fiftysecond chapter of volume i of The World as Will and Representation,but with account taken also of chapter 39 of volume ii (‘On The Metaphysics of Music’).Beckett’s Proustbook is throughout predominantly ‘metaphysical’, irrespective of whether or not music is its focus, as indeed it could hardly help but be with so much of Schopenhauer contributory to its making.
Philip Glass
Authors: Bryden Mary 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It was in Paris, which of course is a very good place in which to become interested in Beckett! That would have been in 1964 or 1965.
PG. Almost entirely through the theatre, when I was in Paris. But I had already read the Trilogy, in the early 1960s, before going to Paris. You have to remember that this was over thirty years ago, and at that time Beckett was pretty much an unknown figure. He stayed that way for a long time. I can tell you a funny story about that. In 1955, I happened to be passing through London, on my way to New York, and someone offered me tickets to a play at the Arts Theatre Club. I had never heard of the writer, and turned down the invitation that night. It turned out to be Waiting for Godot.The first production. I could have seen it! But I missed it.
Ruskin and Social Reform
Authors: Harris Jose 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Fifty years ago Ruskin was widely and, with rare exceptions, approvingly regarded as a major moral and practical inspiration behind the public welfare reforms of wartime and post-war Britain. His influence, remarked the then Master of Balliol, A. K. Lindsay, was ‘so far-reaching that today it is difficult for us to realise the perversity and the power of the economic teaching which he fought’. Social security from the cradle to the grave, public ownership of key industries, state patronage of culture, planned new towns, and policies of full employment were all seen as clearly foreshadowed in Ruskin’s writings on social philosophy of the r86os and 1870s, particularly Unto This Last and Fors Clavigera.
Contempt In The Face Of The Court
Authors: Miller C J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A court of law must be able to maintain within its confines an atmosphere con4.01 ducive to orderly proceedings so that justice may be done. It is the law of contempt which has played the predominant part in achieving this goal in English law. It enables all courts of record to treat as a contempt conduct which interferes with the administration of justice in the court itself. The nature of the punishment which may be imposed has been discussed in the previous chapter where it was noted that like county courts, magistrates ‘ courts now have a statutory power to punish persons who disrupt proceedings. This chapter discusses the circulamstances in which the summary procedure may be adopted without the institution of formal proceedings, and the procedural safeguards which must be observed. It also provides a number of examples of this aspect of contempt and discusses some of the issues raised by particular categories of potential offenders. Also considered is the desirability of the current summary procedure for dealing with contempt in 1 See above, paras. 3.92-3.100.
Victimization Of Jurors, Witnesses, And Other Persons After The Conclusion Of Proceedings
Authors: Miller C J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In an earlier chapter it was noted that where jurors or witnesses are intimidated 11.01 before or during the proceedings the matter may be dealt with, inter alia, either as an offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, s. 51, or as a contempt of court. The same is true of the threat or infliction of harm after the juror or witness has concluded his or her role in the proceedings.
Scandalizing A Court Or Judge
Authors: Miller C J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It has long been clear that a contempt may be committed through publishing mate- 12.01 rial, such as an accusation of bias or corruption, which interferes with the administration of justice by ‘scandalizing’ a court or judge. There is no requirement that the comment be published pendent elite, or indeed that it be linked to any particularproceedings at all, for the concern is with the broader issue of preventing the undermining of public confidence in the administration of justice.
Financial Conglomerates and the Chinese Wall
Authors: MCVea Harry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The growth of financial conglomerates, offering a range of services hitherto unprecedented, has caused problems for regulators. While conglomerates bring with them many economic benefits (diversification of risk, economies of scope, etc), they also impose costs (systemic risk and conflict of interest abuses). This book explores ways in which regulators can ensure that the regulation imposed is sufficiently strong to eradicate these abuses, but at the same time sufficiently flexible to allow the benefits of conglomeration to be secured. The Chinese Wall-a regulatory mechanism aimed at stemming the flow of information from one department in a firm to another, and reconciling conflicts of interest more generally-is singled out for special treatment. The legal position of the device, which has become all the more important in the wake of the recent Law Commission inquiry into the relationship between the Financial Services Act 1986 (and the rules made under it) and the general law, is considered in detail. The author argues that an effective Chinese Wall will, in most cases, be legally sufficient to absolve a firm from potential liability at general law, but that there are situations where Chinese Walls are not satisfactory. Here the conglomerate will have to suffer the commercial disadvantages of being a fiduciary by adopting a different, albeit more restrictive, regulatory option.
Introduction
Authors: MCVea Harry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The processes of deregulation and reregulation are assuming greater importance in financial markets world-wide. When formulating policy, governments are being put under increasing pressure to ensure that their financial sectors do not lag behind either the needs of the economy as a whole, or the rigours of a fast-changing international financial environment. The policy goals which governments seek to secure include: investor confidence, consumer protection, safety and soundness among financial institutions, efficiency, competition, and the need to ensure that economic power does not become concentrated in the hands of any one sector of the financial services industry.1 Invariably these goals conflict. For example, regulation may bring benefits in terms of consumer protection but add costs by making firms less competitive. As a consequence, some form of ‘trade-off’ needs to be achieved. The concepts of deregulation and reregulation play an important part in this process.
Insider Dealing: The Nature of the Problem
Authors: MCVea Harry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Insider dealing has been the focus of regulatory attention on both sides of the Atlantic for some time now. Characters such as Ivan Boesky, Dennis Levine, and Geoffrey Collier have been publicly vilified for engaging in what has sometimes been described as the ‘unacceptable face of capitalism’.1 But what is so bad about insider dealing? Why does it invariably attract such condemnation? Is regulation really defensible, or should the practice be left unfettered by regulatory controls? The answer to these questions (particularly the last) has important ramifications for the raison d’etre of the Chinese Wall mechanism. The argument developed in this chapter is that insider dealing is undesirable and ought to be regulated at all levels; that the prohibition of the practice has a rational basis; and that many of the arguments advanced by those who favour unfettered insider dealing are seriously flawed.
The Chinese Wall: A Policy Analysis
Authors: MCVea Harry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Up until the recent Law Commission inquiry, the policy assessment of the Chinese Wall in Britain had been shallow, failing to highlight clearly the crucial issues upon which adoption of the mechanism rests. Comments in the Gower Report and the Government White Paper implied that although it would be wrong to treat the mechanism as a panacea to the problem of increased access to inside information, it was not to be discarded as wholly useless. This initial, and somewhat cautious, approach would no longer appear to represent the mainstream view. As shown in Chapter 7, the widespread use of the Chinese Wall by the regulatory authorities has made the mechanism the linchpin of the financial conglomerate regulatory system: the operation of financial conglomerates would be severely impeded if Chinese Walls were not permitted.
The Recovery of a Director’S Improper Gains: Proprietary Remedies for Infringement of Non-Proprietary Rights
Authors: Goode Roy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
D is a director of a development company, P, a public limited liability company in which D holds a substantial block of shares. He is also the chairman and controlling shareholder of X, a large private limited liability company engaged in a similar line of business. During the course of his travels D meets Charles, a wealthy landowner, who is impressed by D and some months later approaches him to see whether he would be interested in buying a substantial area of land suitable for residential development. A price is agreed and D arranges for X to purchase the land and to construct a high class residential estate. Several of the houses on the estate are sold, part of the proceeds being used by X to pay for equipment and the rest placed on deposit with X’s bank.
The Treatment of Trust Assets in English Insolvency Law
Authors: Anderson Hamish 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is in the context of insolvency law that the distinction between proprietary rights and personal monetary obligations is likely to be most significant. The personal rights of beneficiaries may be of no value against an insolvent trustee; beneficiaries may be wholly dependent on their proprietary rights to the trust assets. This chapter is concerned with the treatment of property held by an insolvent person on trust for one or more third parties. It is not concerned with the situation in which a beneficial interest in property, held on trust by a third party, constitutes part of an insolvent estate. The existence of a perfected trust obligation enforceable by or on behalf of a cestui que trust will necessarily be assumed. Such questions are discussed elsewhere.
The Emperor in the Legal World
Authors: Honoré Tony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
WHAT were the respective roles of the emperor and his legal advisers in answering petitions from private individuals that raised legal issues? To understand third-century imperial rescripts we need to grapple with this question. There is no doubt that a written answer (rescript) was valid only if the emperor authorized it. He had formally to execute it by writing at the end in his own hand a formula (e.g. rescripsi, scripsi, or sub scripsi) that expressed this fact (ch.2 n.69-73). In general no one could reply on the emperor’s behalf (but see n.152). His rule was personal, and the rescripts that embodied his will spoke in his name.
Developments in English Law
Authors: Poulter Sebastian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The aims of this chapter are to chronicle the principal developments which have occurred within English law in its handling of ethnic or cultural differences and to identify the various legal techniques which are available to give effect to the two broad policy options outlined in the previous chapter. While the modern approach endorses cultural plural¬ ism there are, as we have seen, limits to this process and assimilationist measures may sometimes be needed to uphold minimum standards, as part of the wider public interest, in the light of shared institutional values.
The Evolution of Criminal Justice Policy in the UK
Authors: Dingwall Gavin S , Davenport Alan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The United Kingdom today faces a problem of crime which could not possibly have been forecast at the end of the Second World War. Since then there has been a large increase in the number of crimes reported to the police. In 1950 approximately 500,000 crimes were reported. This figure rose to 1.6 million in 1970, 2.5 million in 1980 and 5.4 million in 1991.1 In Table 2.1 the figures for 1992 reveal that the vast majority of crimes re ported to the police are property offences. Of the 5 per cent of offences listed as being of a sexual or violent nature, roughly two-thirds involved minor wounding; homicide and serious wounding constituted only 0.3 per cent of recorded crime.2 The criminal statistics show that the largest recent rises in reported crime have been for criminal damage and burglary.3
Managing the Drug Problem: Tolerance or Prohibition
Authors: Silvis Jos , Williams Katherine S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The current drug policy of most states has a direct link to the early days of this century and earlier. It was at this time that the first steps were taken to bring drugs under (international) control. As recently as the last century in Britain drugs, including opium (laudanum) and morphine, were freely available both for enjoyment and as the basis for many common remedies. Britain also had a large economic interest in the opium trade, especially to China. When, to protect their people, the Chinese authorities tried to block this trade, it led to war in 1841. Following this, the ‘infant doping problem ‘, and opium use by workers, the Quakers led a campaign which persuaded many British people that addiction to opium was a sign of moral depravity and that the drug was evil: the first step towards acceptance of regulation. Legal control began in 18681 when certain substances, notably opium, were placed under pharma ceutical control, but in practice they remained easy to obtain and the basis of many remedies until after the tum of the century. The first real control of drugs came in the First World War when, in 1916, the Home Office, through the Army Council, forbade the supply of certain drugs to any member of the armed forces unless administered by a doctor. In the same year Regulation 40B under the Defence of the Realm Act 1914 made it an offence for those in the medical and allied professions to possess cocaine or opium.
