Acoustics, Echoes, and Whispering Galleries in Romantic Literature
Authors: Mcdowell Stacey 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on nineteenth-century writers who seek to capture something about the movement of sound in vast, airy buildings (the way music seems to linger in the roof of a chapel, for example, or the echoes that resound in a whispering gallery). Writing about the acoustics of architectural space prompts a related concern with how literary form contains and preserves sound. Since sound is often thought of as a fleeting phenomenon, the way it can linger, reverberate, or echo offers a suggestive metaphor for thinking about how literature can preserve and reproduce sound, holding things in the memory as it amplifies or distorts them. The possible flip side of this effect may involve the persistence of nagging fears or the ceaseless reverberations of self-reproach, as the chapter examines in Thomas De Quincey’s work.
The Roar on the Other Side of Silence
Authors: Zwierlein Anne-Julia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Tracing nineteenth-century scientific interest in the epistemology and phenomenology of the auditory sense, its variable scales and potential enhancement via sense engineering technologies, this chapter intervenes in the study of literature and the senses on several connected levels. Probing literary resonances of the new techniques for capturing and transporting sounds, the chapter focuses on nineteenth-century literary texts’ pronounced awareness of their own mediality and performativity. Such textual self-reflexivity becomes manifest in some central phenomena recurring throughout nineteenth-century literary explorations of the auditory sense: unlocatable sound; hypersensitivity to sound; and the inescapability of sound. Moreover, the chapter argues that besides these scientific and aesthetic dimensions of textually mediated sensory perception, we have to assess its political dimension: nineteenth-century literary evocations of the sense of hearing always also negotiate shifts in gender, class, and ethnic relations, producing new vocalities as well as imperial echo chambers.
Bartholomew Fair’s Olfactory Cross-Mappings
Authors: Karremann Isabel 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the various olfactory cross-mappings at work in Ben Jonson’s city comedy Bartholomew Fair as a case study for understanding the material and perceptual interaction between space, performance, and audience in the early modern theatre. It uncovers how the audience was implicated in creating the olfactory environment of the theatre: the theatre’s smellscape was a result of their bodily presence and the olfactory affordances of the material environment as well as of the audiences’ perceptual experience of them and the associations and memories such smells evoked for them. The chapter argues that cross-mappings, supported by olfactory signatures of particular places, are a dramaturgic principle of Bartholomew Fair, which deftly employs the affordances of the theatre as an olfactory environment which is jointly created by actors, props, and audience, in a performance that infuses inanimate matter with the spirit of theatricality.
Salt Taste of the Sea
Authors: Richter Virginia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The beach intensifies multisensorial bodily perception, as it touches, stimulates, and invades the human body through various material channels. Literary texts record a ‘thick description’ of the sensory and emotional experience of, for example, swimming; and they explore the ambivalence of the beach, the persistence of conflicting patterns such as sensuous liberation and a dread of the deep. The two novels this chapter examines—Kate Chopin’s The Awakening and Charles Simmons’s Salt Water—although separated by a century, address similar issues. Both are set at moments of social change, have liminal protagonists, and use littoral activities as conduits to sexual awakening, liberation, and self-knowledge. However, they also show that these positive developments are not viable outside the heterotopia of the beach. Drawing on littoral/oceanic studies and new materialism, this chapter focuses on the interplay between the material environment, the senses, and the emotional development of the novels’ protagonists.
Two kinds of English non-mannerhow-clauses
Authors: Liefke Kristina 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis chapter shows that English has two kinds of non-interrogative, non-manner embedded how-clauses: clauses that are licensed by perception, memory, and fiction verbs and allow paraphrase by a DP of the form the event in which [TP] (see Umbach et al., 2021), and clauses that are licensed by presuppositional and ‘say’-verbs and allow paraphrase by a DP of the form the fact that [TP] (see Legate, 2010). The chapter provides a compositional semantics for reports with these two kinds of how-clauses that captures the intuitive entailment behavior of these reports. This semantics provides an answer to the question of how the different non-manner readings of how come about and why languages like English use the manner word how for this purpose.
Basque non-interrogativenolaas a (de dicto) factive complementizer
Authors: Irurtzun Aritz 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis chapter proposes an analysis of the syntax and semantics of non-V2 nola-headed embedded clauses in Basque. Such structures have a particular behavior in three main respects: (i) Contrary to its appearance, nola does not behave like a manner wh-item; it is rather a complementizer; (ii) contrary to other types of embedded clauses, nola-headed clauses have to appear in a postverbal position; and (iii) they bring about a factive reading. A derivational analysis is proposed tying these properties together: analyzing nola as a complementizer (a Force head), the structure will be nonconvergent if it stays in situ; as it would constitute a configuration violating the Final over Final Condition (FOFC), given that a head-last structure would immediately dominate a head-first structure. The alternative configuration with extraposition of the embedded clause, however, evades any violation of FOFC.
National Constitutional Courts’ Review of European Law and its Democratic Legitimacy
Authors: de Boer Nik 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 3 analyses the democratic legitimacy of the national constitutional courts’ review of European law, building on Chapter 2. The national constitutional courts’ review of European law also raises a democratic concern because it subjects political decision-making to constitutional constraints. The chapter discusses this problem on the basis of the national constitutional courts’ EU-related case law as well as the specific features of the EU context. The chapter’s main argument is that the national constitutional courts’ review of European law could be considered justified, where it ensures better consideration of the constitutional issues raised by European integration compared to where this is left to political institutions. Yet, assessing this justification requires a comparative institutional assessment. The subsequent chapters offer such an assessment in a qualitative case study of the German Federal Constitutional Court (GFCC).
The Rise of Judicial Euroscepticism: Maastricht
Authors: de Boer Nik 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 turns to the German Federal Constitutional Court’s (GFCC) Maastricht-Urteil. This case set out the direction of the GFCC’s approach to European integration for the next twenty-five years, is of crucial significance for the role of constitutional courts beyond Germany, and has significantly influenced subsequent academic debate. The Maastricht-Urteil introduced ultra vires review and elaborately assessed the democratic credentials of the EU against a sovereigntist interpretation of democracy. One justification for the GFCC’s judgment is that, despite all its shortcomings, the Court discussed important constitutional implications of the Treaty and raised issues that political institutions had failed to consider. The chapter shows that this argument is difficult to sustain. The constitutional implications of this Treaty, and its democratic shortcomings in particular, were amply discussed in the Treaty negotiations and the German ratification debates. Instead, the chapter argues, somewhat provocatively, that the GFCC’s role is better understood as judicial Euroscepticism.
Court-Ordered Parliamentary Oversight and the Euro Crisis
Authors: de Boer Nik 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 6 discusses a more positive side to the German Federal Constitutional Court’s (GFCC) euro crisis case law. The Court has also contributed to a progressive strengthening of the participation and information rights of the German parliament, both in EU affairs generally, as well as regarding decisions on financial assistance more specifically. In doing so, the Court has created space for democratic politics rather than constrained it. This has contributed to better democratic control of the executive. There is also considerable evidence that this strengthening of the German parliament would not have occurred without the GFCC’s interventions. On the basis of these insights, the chapter submits that constitutional review geared towards strengthening the position of national parliaments vis-à-vis their own governments can help to counter the EU’s democratic legitimacy problems in a fairly uncontroversial manner.
Rethinking Drug Laws
Authors: Seddon Toby 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This book develops a new way of understanding what global drug prohibition is, the origins of the prohibition system, and the possibilities for alternative futures. The first part explores the intellectual resources available for analysing and explaining drug control. By framing drug control as a form of market regulation, it sets out a new theoretical approach, using the notion of exchangespace. The second part explores the historical origins of global drug prohibition. Drawing on original archival research, it argues that recentring China in the origin story allows us to see important new aspects of the emergence of prohibition. The third part considers the political dimension of drug control. It argues that rather than politics or ideology being barriers to drug law reform, in fact radical reform will require serious engagement with the politics of drug control. The book concludes by arguing that finding a path to better alternative futures will depend on recognising that the question of how we should regulate drugs is, at its heart, a question of how we should regulate world capitalism. In the Asian Century, answers will only be found if we step outside Western-centric ways of thinking and of seeing the world.
Fairness and Liability
Authors: Slavny Adam 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that principles of distributive fairness are relevant to individual corrective duties. In particular, it evaluates three distributive principles: The Non-Reciprocity Principle, The Benefit Principle, and The Avoidance Principle. The Non-Reciprocity Principle is considered and rejected as a plausible basis of liability to compensate. However, The Benefit Principle and The Avoidance Principle are developed and defended. These two principles interlock and play an important role in grounding corrective duties. One implication of this analysis is that we must look beyond the bilateral relationship between the doer and sufferer of harm to reach a more complete picture of the grounds of corrective duties.
Compensation Schemes
Authors: Slavny Adam 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter considers whether our moral account of corrective duties favours tort law structures over alternative institutional means of governing claims for personal injury, particularly at-fault and no-fault compensation schemes. Although one might think the morality of corrective duties would favour tort, it argues this is not the case, and in fact our duties are consistent with all three institutional arrangements. This conclusion challenges the assumption that has structured the debate between reformists and apologists, that tort law and compensation schemes embody irreducibly distinct paradigms of justice. This means that empirical considerations play a more decisive role in the justification (or otherwise) of tort law than many apologists would be comfortable with. Which institutional arrangement should be preferred depends on issues such as deterrence, cost, and efficiency; the extent to which the effects of background injustice can be mitigated; and uptake of meritorious claims, rather than the superiority of one arrangement over another in implementing corrective justice.
The Renaissance of the Saints After Reform
Authors: Di Salvo Gina M. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The age of miracles was not yet past on the Shakespearean stage. In the first book-length study of the English saint play across the Reformation divide, The Renaissance of the Saints after Reform recovers the surprisingly long theatrical life of the saints from a tenth-century monastery to the Restoration stage. Through a reassessment of archival records of performance and religious change, this book challenges the established history of the saint play as a product of medieval devotional culture that ended with the national conversion to Protestantism during the Reformation. Not only did saints in performance frequently diverge from the narratives of devotional literature during the Middle Ages but also saints made a spectacular reappearance in the theatre of the early modern era. In the rupture between those two eras, the English church separated itself from the Cult of the Saints, and saints disappeared from public view until sainthood transformed from a matter of theology into a matter of theatricality. This book traces the transformations of sainthood in early modern drama from ambiguous supernatural association and negotiated patronage to a renaissance of miraculous theatricality and sacred place-making. By excavating saints in plays by Shakespeare, Heywood, Dekker, Massinger, and Rowley as well as plays authored by relatively unknown dramatists, this book reconfigures how we think about the legacy of late medieval religious culture, the impact of Reformation change on literary texts and social practices, and the development of English theatre and drama.
The Protagonists of a ‘Shoddy Industry’
Authors: Jettot Stéphane 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The fifth chapter deals with the reputation of these compilations and their credibility problems. Situated at the crossroads between amateur scholarship and commercial entrepreneurship, compilers, mostly from a modest background, struggled to defend the reliability of their works. In contrast to the canonical authors of the Enlightenment, they remained largely obscure literary figures. The frequently derogatory comments that most received about their work were closely linked to their subordinate social position, either as booksellers’ scribblers or as patronized writers. Through various case-studies, we contextualize the criticisms expressed in polite circles or literary magazines about these compilers. The College of Arms, which tried after 1750 to regain control over these directories, was also engaged in the denunciation of those ‘unworthy hacks’ and the ‘servile’ and ‘mercenary’ authors. Some of them, such as William Berry or Sir Egerton Brydges, were even chastised during public trials and condemned as fraudsters or impersonators.
The Keys to a Rewarding Posterity
Authors: Jettot Stéphane 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The final chapter explores the key ingredients which account for the fact that some compilers even succeeded in obtaining an honourable reputation. Arthur Collins posthumously benefited from the positive appraisal of influential antiquaries, whose authority and renown made them qualified to vouch for his seriousness and expertise. Others, such as William Betham and John Burke, benefited from the blurred distinction between fiction and history in the romantic era. Family members and descendants also contributed greatly to the reputation of their forebears by reframing the nature of their publishing activities or tampering with their origins. While many compilers did not conceal their humble background, their descendants felt the need to reconstruct a prestigious pedigree. At last, the compilers’ posterity relied on their ability to accommodate flattery and honesty. Thomas Wotton managed to perform a fine balancing act between accommodating his customers’ desires while still maintaining public esteem by refusing the most unacceptable accounts.
The Metaphysics of Practice
Authors: Sellars Wilfrid 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Wilfrid Sellars (1912–1989) saw the development of his practical philosophy as central to his entire philosophical enterprise—the linchpin to situating the framework of persons within a scientific worldview. The core idea in Sellars’s moral writings is that the moral “ought” is to be understood as a special kind of intention. Specifically, moral judgments are we-intentions, practical commitments one makes “as one of us” or from the communal point of view. In developing this theory, Sellars articulated sophisticated and powerful answers to questions of moral motivation, the intersubjectivity of moral judgments, the nature of moral community, the relation between the normative and the natural, and much more. The Metaphysics of Practice gathers together for the first time Sellars’s published writings in moral philosophy, along with previously unpublished manuscripts and significant correspondence between Sellars and such interlocutors as R. M. Hare, Bruce Aune, and Hector-Neri Castañeda. Additionally, there is a substantive editors’ introduction which lays out the essentials of Sellars’s theory and summarizes the basic arguments of each chapter of the volume. This volume will be of great value not only to Sellars scholars but also to philosophers working in metaethics (particularly ethical expressivism), philosophy of action, and collective intentionality.
The Geomorphology and Topography of the Area of the Porta Stabia Excavations
Authors: Robinson Mark 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The topography of the Porta Stabia area is defined by geomorphology of the lava plateau of Pompeii, shaped by later volcanic events as well as by the natural north–south valley of the via Stabiana. The bedrock and paleosols in this area of the plateau had been heavily quarried and terraced in the course of later building activities, but typically were shallowest on the northeastern side of the site and deepest to the southwest. Sealing the lava bedrock was a level of yellow sandy silt resulting from the Mercato eruption of Vesuvius (7,000–6,700 bce). Above, a brown sandy silt attested to weathering and biogenic soil formation processes of this material. The project did not uncover any evidence of the Ante-Plinian gray ash that covers this soil elsewhere in Pompeii. There was no evidence for human presence in the area prior to the sixth-century bce foundation of the city, likely due to the presence of swampy marshland immediately south of the later Porta Stabia.
Appendices
Authors: Kreiger Jenny R. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This section of the volume provides fourteen essays on various subjects, with a focus on certain finds and structural fixtures that feature throughout the excavations of the Porta Stabia neighborhood at Pompeii. These essays supplement the main text by bringing together information and ideas otherwise dispersed throughout the phasing chapters. Each of them includes a catalog of the associated fixtures and datasets. Each contribution has a pedagogical purpose, providing reading and subject material for students while highlighting features that tell particular stories of the Porta Stabia neighborhood’s structural and social development over time.
The Doorstops of Insulae VIII.7 and I.1
Authors: Ellis Steven J. R. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The project uncovered a total of six doorstops. These were blocks of basalt carved into a U-shape and set about 1.5 m behind a street-front door into which a wooden beam was wedged into both the cutting and the back of the door to keep the door from being opened from the outside. This chapter provides a brief overview of their contextual and chronological setting, as well as a descriptive catalog of their forms. These doorstops are a feature of the Vesuvian cities and are not well attested elsewhere, likely because the floor surfaces in which we find them, being limited to the 1st century ce, are not as widely uncovered and known in other Roman cities. The doorstops thus present a very localized—regionally, as well as chronologically—form of security.
The Ritual Contexts in Insulae VIII.7 and I.1
Authors: Kreiger Jenny R. , Spinelli Ambra 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Ritual behavior can be difficult to access archaeologically, and caution is essential in assigning ritual meaning to a deposit or feature. The nature and formation processes of the context itself, as well as any associated finds, inscriptions, or decorations, must inform any interpretation of the context’s function. This chapter covers the fourteen contexts that were likely associated with ritual behavior, comprising excavated deposits, structural fixtures, and additional features documented in the archival records (some no longer extant). Taken together, these fourteen contexts paint a picture of ritual behavior in these insulae that was focused partly inwardly, on propitiating household deities, and partly outwardly, on the boundaries of the city and the neighborhood.
The Toilets and Cesspits of Insulae VIII.7 and I.1
Authors: Dicus Kevin 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Studies of Roman waste management infrastructure contribute essential evidence about the relative salubrity of the Roman city. Pompeii’s preservation allows an unfettered look at the various disposal strategies that residents employed to maintain standards of hygiene for their homes and within the urban fabric. The excavations in Insulae VIII.7 and I.1, for instance, uncovered examples in nearly every property of features designed to contain and remove liquid, solid, and bodily waste. Here, far from Pompeii’s sewers, toilets channeled waste into cesspits, where liquids drained through the porous soil, leaving solids to be removed periodically. Downpipes connected toilets on upper stories to drains on the ground floor leading to the cesspits. This inventory contributes to our understanding of the form and function of private waste-management features in domestic contexts and, more broadly, strategies of ancient waste management.
Empires in Ireland
Authors: Ohlmeyer Jane 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The first three sections of this chapter focus on the ‘story’ of what contemporaries understood about empire in an age when few left their parish and the opportunities to meet people from Asia, Africa, and the Atlantic world were largely limited to those who travelled, served as missionaries, sailors and soldiers, or spent time in cosmopolitan centres like London, Amsterdam, and Lisbon. It explores how empires shaped the lives (Section I), the landscapes (Section II), and the mindsets (Section III) of those living in early modern Ireland. How did imperial commodities, especially food, drink, clothing, furnishings, and representations of empires—in novels, plays, prose, images, travel literature, and maps—form and influence ideas, identities, mindsets, tastes, fashions, and landscapes? Section IV examines how early modern events and experiences of empire were remembered (or not), represented, and misrepresented.
