How is Moorean Value Related to Reasons for Attitudes?
Authors: Darwall Stephen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
G. E. Moore famously claimed in Principia Ethica that the idea of good or intrinsic value is the single fundamental ethical idea and that all other ethical notions can be analyzed in terms of it. The right, for example, Moore defined as conduct that maximally promotes the good. (‘To assert that a certain line of conduct is, at a given time, absolutely right or obligatory is obviously to assert that more good or less evil will exist in the world, if it be adopted than if anything else be done instead’ (1993, 77, §17)). And virtue or goodness of character, he defined as ‘dispositions to perform actions which are duties’, where ‘duties are a particular class of those actions, of which the performance has, at least generally, better total results than the omissions’(1993, 221, §103)). And so on for any idea we make use of in genuine ethical judgments.
Conclusion: The Promise of Kenosis
Authors: Davis Stephen T , Evans C Stephen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For Christians, that branch of theology called Christology is perennially important. In every generation, Christians must rethink and restate their understanding of Jesus Christ. They must be able to explain in contemporary terms, both to themselves and to the unbelieving world, who Christ is. Such explanations are especially necessary in times (like ours) of Christological ferment and confusion. That rethinking must always be done, so the two of us believe, consistently with scripture and in serious conversation with the theological tradition. But it must be done: Christology is the crucial Christian doctrine.
Text and Translation

Abstract
In saying that living well and eudaimonia are in the same thing, will we also be giving [a share] of them to the other living things? For if they are able to live out a life natural to them without impediment, what stops us saying that they too are [in possession of] a good life? For whether one sets the good life in good experience [5] or in the completion of one’s appropriate function, in both cases it will be available to the other living things too. For it would be possible to undergo both good experiences and to function in accordance with one’s nature; like musical animals who undergo good experiences in other ways, and, moreover, sing as is in their nature and in this way have the life preferable to them.
Saints and Suicides
Authors: Eagleton Terry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
IF freedom is a curse as well as a blessing, it is because it can be used to lay waste as well as to create. This is why, like all sacred powers, it needs to be hedged round with a thick mesh of caveats and prohibitions. What is supremely valuable about it is also what is most dangerous. We might call this power to destroy an abuse of freedom, but it is an abuse which must be permanently possible if freedom is to flourish, and to this extent is part of its nature.
Italy
Authors: Campbell Gordon , Corns Thomas N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the spring of 1638 Milton finalized his plans for a journey to Italy. There was a steady trickle of young aristocrats travelling to Italy, a precursor of the Grand Tour of the eighteenth century, but it was relatively unusual for a Protestant of Milton’s class to undertake such a journey: he was neither a merchant nor a pilgrim, and he had no particular interest in the visual arts. The journey may represent social aspirations or an escape from his family (he was unemployed and living in Horton with his recently widowed father) or from some scandal or from his father’s wish to remove him from the attentions of a government that had mutilated and imprisoned Prynne, Bastwick, and Burton, if indeed he had responded intemperately to these events; Italy offered a musical culture in which Milton was interested and learned societies to which he had access by virtue of his class, linguistic ability, and (possibly) letters of introduction.
From the Death of Oliver Cromwell to the Restoration
Authors: Campbell Gordon , Corns Thomas N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Cromwell died on 3 September 1658, the anniversary of his signal victories at Dunbar and Worcester. As in the establishment of the first Protectorate in succession to the dismissal of the Purged Parliament, Thurloe’s role was pivotal, ensuring continuity in the administration of government. Indeed, over the following months, Richard Cromwell, Oliver’s elder son and, apparently, his nominated successor, depended heavily on his close control of the apparatus of the state. He continued in his principal role as secretary to the Privy Council, a group which, under Richard, closely resembled his father’s Council.
chapter 14
Authors: Campbell Gordon , Corns Thomas N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The mid-century decades had followed only imperfectly the aspirations and intentions evinced by Milton in the 1630s and on his return from Italy. Certainly, he had achieved fame, indeed in its more challenging sub-species, notoriety. He had published a great deal and his learning, so patiently accumulated since childhood, had been widely displayed and variously feared or praised. He had married, not one but two, not especially poor, probable virgins.
Yeats’s Feet
Authors: Leighton Angela 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Yeats’s esoteric beliefs caused some discomfort to the writers who succeeded him in the war-torn 1940s. His apparently naive faith in what George Orwell called ‘a hocus-pocus of Great Wheels, gyres, cycles of the moon, reincarnation, disembodied spirits, astrology and whatnot’1 seemed, in 1943, if not downright ‘Fascist’,2 at least laughable. MacNeice, in a grudgingly honest revaluation of Yeats’s gifts in 1941, found himself reconsidering his own generation’s ‘reaction against Pure Form, against Art for Art’s Sake’.3
Selecting a Monument
Authors: Carroll Maureen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Choosing a monument, the location where it was to be erected, and what it was to express were necessary considerations when preparing for death. Of course, not everyone was or could be prepared for death, nor did everyone have a say in how, or even if, they would be commemorated. A brief epitaph for a female slave in Portus, inscribed simply Glycerae servae (to Glycera, a slave), presumably on orders from her owner, is one of many inscriptions cut for individuals of low status who themselves were not in a position to ensure their commemoration. For those who did make plans, however, the monument could be designed by the deceased, or written specifications for it could be left in a will, a plot could be selected and paid for and a clear visual message could be conveyed to communicate what was important to the person as fitting memorial. A marble slab on Tomb A in the Vatican cemetery under St Peter’s basilica in Rome reproduces a supplement taken from the will of Gaius Popilius Heracla. In it he instructed his two heirs to build him a tomb near the circus on the Vatican hill at a cost of 6,000 sestertii.
Research History
Authors: Rüpke Jörg 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The first substantial modern priestly ‘fasti’ were compiled in 1848 by LUDWIG MERCKLIN in his investigation of cooptation procedures in Rome. To the texts of the epigraphic fasti as known at his period he added a parallel list of augurs and pontificesobtained from Livy’s notes of 218–167 bc.2 MERCKLIN himself gave this appendix the name ‘Die romischen Sacerdotalfasten’. This material formed the basis for Theodor Mommsen’s 1864 essay on the ‘Roman patrician families’, which included a substantial number of Republican priestesses and priests of various cults. His aim was to clarify the question as to which offices had patrician descent as a strict prerequisite; Mommsen chose the fastiformula only for the material from MERCKLIN, but remains an important point of reference.
Anthropology and/as myth in modern criticism
Authors: Bell Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Literary use of myth no longer enjoys the prestige accorded it by many writers of the Modernist generation, and their uses of a now discredited anthropology are part of the reason for this. But the Modernist example remains important for several reasons, including its major, and still lingering, impact on subsequent criticism. It is necessary to appreciate the combined literary, philosophical, and psychological motives for the Modernist use of myth into which contemporary anthropological conceptions were assimilated. For anthropology was a corroboration of existing beliefs of poets and novelists as much as a cause of their recourse to myth. Above all, the Greek word mythopoeia, or myth-making, points to the close relation of myth and poetry within the activity of creation at large. To create a poem is analogous to creating a cultural world.
Anti-canon theory
Authors: Punter David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this chapter I want to outline some of the limits against which critical theory is currently pushing. In doing so, I will necessarily be traversing again some of the terrain already dealt with in other chapters—on psychoanalysis, for example, and on deconstruction. But my purpose is not so much to establish or describe a single unified critical position as to try to demonstrate something about an instability, or a set of instabilities, that are increasingly coming to characterize some areas of critical activity. They have, of course, their own counterweight. Books such as Harold Bloom’s The Western Canon (1995) attempt a triumphant reassertion of the monolithic grandeur of Western literature. But many would argue that this can, alternatively, be seen as a defensive reaction, as precisely part of the evidence for the supposition that recent developments in the theory of the subject are radically troubling the critical enterprise, and in particular bringing to the foreground the crucial question of ‘location’—that is to say, the position from which the critic speaks.
Moral Incompetence
Authors: Morton Adam 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this chapter I describe a family of ways in which well-intentioned people, well equipped with the standard moral virtues, can do wrong. It is no news that good people can make decisions that turn out badly, and we all recognize that a morally admirable person could lack some practical skill required for realizing some of her intentions. She could have a bad memory or be bad at scheduling actions. The phenomenon that I am discussing is different from both bad luck and impracticality. It concerns the moral failings of decent people. The claim is that there are ways in which good will and virtue are consistent with a tendency to make the wrong choices in some kinds of moral problems. Such tendencies are what I refer to as moral incompetence. I expect that most people will agree not just that decent people can make a mess of things, but that there can be systematic patterns in the moral disasters of even morally admirable individuals.
‘Kapetoōleia Olympia’: Roman Emperors and Greek Agōnes
Authors: Spawforth Tony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The following two inscriptions from Moretti’s corpus illustrate some key aspects of Greek agonistics under Rome. The first is an inscribed portrait-herm from Athens (IG ii 3769). On prosopographical grounds the text dates to the later 240s ad—to what Moretti termed the ‘advanced’ imperial age. But time—and this is the real point here—seems to have stood still: we could almost be back in the world of Pindar. Two Athenian brothers proudly celebrate their father’s victories in chariot-races, the Homeric sport of the rich in Classical Greece. The victories specified are in the four traditional Panhellenic festivals of the Greek mainland, and of these Olympia is still given pre-eminence as the Panhellenic gathering par excellence, with victory there said to have been conferred by ‘all Hellas’
Poetry and postcoloniality
Authors: Patke Rajeev S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The first section of this opening chapter defines the conditions under which the notion of ‘postcolonial poetry’ serves a meaningful function in literary and cultural studies. It describes the historical preoccupations and linguistic strategies that constitute the central link between poetry and postcoloniality. It also indicates how the method and organization of this book takes account of some of the pitfalls associated with the term ‘postcolonial’. The second section provides a condensed account of the spread of English in the British Isles, and the ambivalence with which this was met from Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. The significance of this motif is developed in section 3, which provides a reading of two poems about the relation between Ireland and England. These readings prefigure the analyses in Chapter 2, where the issues surveyed in the first chapter are extended to cultures and societies outside Britain.
Back to the future
Authors: Patke Rajeev S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces the central issues that have preoccupied postcolonial poets in English across the twentieth century— language, history, locality, and displacement—through a reading of three volumes published during the period 1989–2002. Recent poetry is used as a vantage point from which to begin mapping the contours of the large and variegated territory of poetic concerns addressed in Parts II and III. Each volume undertakes a radical revision of the poet’s relation to her own historicity in poems of striking force, precision, and originality. Such writing demonstrates the responsibility undertaken by poets towards the practice of a vocation that is energized rather than disabled by the traumas of a colonial past.
Recurrent motifs: voyage and translation
Authors: Patke Rajeev S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Colonialism bred three kinds of willing voyager—adventurer, explorer, colonist; one type of partially willing voyager—the indentured labourer; and one type of unwilling voyager—the slave. Postcolonial history adds two more types to this motley: the migrant, and the exile; in them, as in the indentured labourer, the distinction between willing and involuntary displacement is blurred. Postcolonial writing proliferates with symbolic voyages that are meant to ameliorate the displacement caused by diaspora. One kind of poet tackles the voyage in a collective spirit, as an individual rooted in imagined community, as when Walcott and Brathwaite appear to head away from home, only for their poetry to discover ways of revising their view of the birthplace. The second type of traveller suffers a more literal relocation through migration or self-exile, as illustrated by A. K. Ramanujan, Agha Shahid Ali, and Ee Tiang Hong. Their work shuttles between an emotional anchorage in a home left behind, and the attempt to grow new roots in a place that the poet strives to accept as home.
What is a little more health and safety worth?
Authors: Culyer Anthony J , Amick III Benjamin C , Laporte Audrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this chapter we introduce readers to the principal ways in which economists evaluate workplace health and safety investments. We draw extensively on work that has been done in the field of health care, although there are major differences and challenges posed by the analysis of workplace interventions for health and safety that are largely absent in the field of health care.
Parasitism and biological control
Authors: Wajnberg Éric , Ris Nicolas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Parasites exert negative effects on their hosts, both at the individual and population level. This ecological feature can be used to develop biological control programmes, i.e. ‘the use of living organisms [called biological control agents] to control the population density or impact on a specific pest organism, making it less abundant or less damaging than it would otherwise be’ (Eilenberg et al. 2001). More than a thousand biological control agents are currently in use worldwide and most of them are parasitoid insects used to control phytophagous insect pests. This chapter aims to describe this particular form of parasitism, highlighting its huge diversity and the associated consequences for demographic interactions between hosts and parasitoids.

The Auditory Imagination of Thomas Moore
Authors: White Harry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One cannot always be sure how strategic Leopold Bloom’s stream of consciousness in Ulysses is meant to be. When Bloom passes the statue of Moore in College Green, however, there can be little doubt that his taking the piss out of Moore, when added to Bloom’s incipient feminism (and perhaps femininity, to judge by what happens to him later in the novel), apostrophizes the kind of reception history which has plagued Thomas Moore since the second half of the nineteenth century. The association made by Bloom between Moore and Balfe does not seem fortuitous in this regard; nor does the unmistakable reference to ‘The Dead’ (‘Great song of Julia Morkan’s’), a narrative in which Irish music, if not Moore himself, is so structurally and emotionally decisive.
Why J. M. Synge Abandoned Music
Authors: White Harry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1893 I went to Germany (partly for a holiday), but I stayed there studying music for nearly a year. I saw that the Germans were so much more innately gifted with the musical faculties than I was that I decided to give up music and take to literature instead. I went back to Germany for a few months to work at the language only, and then on the first day of 1895 I went to Paris for six months … In 1898 I went to the Aran Islands to learn Gaelic and lived with the peasants. Ever since then I have spent part of my year among the Irish speaking peasants in various localities as I am now doing once more.
Words after Music: Samuel Beckett after Joyce
Authors: White Harry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The proposition that in the Irish literary imagination words are ‘words for music’ is radically reformulated in the theatre of Samuel Beckett. Although he rivals Shaw in the magnitude of his influence on English drama in particular (so that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and The Caretaker, for example, both strikingly reconfigure Waiting for Godot (1955) ),3 and, although like Shaw he determines upon a stringent originality of dramatic voice in the aftermath of his own fiction, Beckett does not stop there.

Abstract
The main item in tonight’s concert is the First Movement of the Violin Concerto in E minor, Opus 64, by Jacob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn … the Orchestra is conducted by Gareth O’Donnell and the soloist is the Ballybeg half-back Gareth O’Donnell. I imagine you have poets in England of much greater accomplishment, Mr Richard. But Tom Moore is the finest singer we have, the voice of our nation. he has our true measure, Mr Richard. He divines us accurately. He reproduces features of our history and our character.
In Search of Lost Worlds
Authors: Brasier Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is January, 1859. Imagine being a visitor, seated on a sofa in Darwin’s large and dark study at Down House in Kent. The Christmas decorations have been put away. The smell of leather- covered books, gas lamps and moth balls rises up from the walls of this well-used room. Over the past few months, our world-weary naturalist has been drawing together the last remaining thoughts for his new work, to be called ‘On the Origin of Species’. Its contents have been gathered from notes and observations made since 1831, an epic of nearly thirty years’ gestation.
The Devil’ To Enail
Authors: Brasier Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I was catapulted into the quest to solve the dilemma of Darwin’s Lost World in September 1973 by a single piece of rock. It was full of black and white swirls like 1970s pop art. This weird cobble had been discovered when my geological colleague Roland Goldring, jumped out of his Landrover to open a farm gate at Brachina Gorge in the outback of South Australia. That was back in 1967. He had spotted it propping up a fence post and, without much thought, popped it into his tucker bag and brought it back to Reading in England.
The First Terror with Teeth
Authors: Brasier Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Standing outside my circular tent, called a gher, on a windy afternoon in August 1993, I felt like pinching myself to check that life was real. Earlier in the day, the sky had been peppered with eagles circling above our little cluster of nomadic ghers, pitched by local tribesmen from the Dzabkan River. Camped up here, on stony ground in the Gobi-Altai Mountains, not far to the north of the Gobi Desert, I scanned the horizon for signs of Mongolian horsemen. The air was crystal clear but I could, as yet, see neither horses nor men. Nor could I see trees or fields. In fact, I had seen neither fields nor vegetables for several weeks. Here I was, then, an ancient fossil hunter in an ancient hunters’ land- scape. Grass, mountains, rivers, and snow. It felt as though I had travelled back in time some twenty thousand years, to an age when our ancestors had painted the ceilings of caves in distant Lascaux and Rouffignac.
A Worm that Changed the World
Authors: Brasier Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In May 1983, it fell to me to drive a ramshackle minibus containing four Russian and four Chinese scientists across England and Wales. We had just completed our ‘Country House murder mystery meeting’ at Burwalls. But the mood in the bus was dark. We had voted on the placement of the Precambrian–Cambrian boundary. And the Chinese delegates had almost overthrown the Russian case (and in the following year, they actually succeeded in doing just that). Clearly, they meant business. Added to that was the fact that two of our passengers—Boris Sokolov and Xing Yusheng—were of impressively senior rank. Had I accidentally ‘rolled’ the minibus during the week-long trip, some said, I could have triggered World War Three.
