Dickens and the rise of divorce: the failed-marriage plot and the novel tradition
Ashgate, Burlington, VT, 2010, 216 pp.

Synopsis
Questioning a literary history that, since Ian Watt's Rise of the Novel (*), has privileged the courtship plot, Kelly Hager proposes an equally powerful but overlooked narrative focusing on the failed marriage. Hager maps the legal history of marriage and divorce, providing crucial background as she reveals the prevalence of the failed-marriage plot in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British novels. Dickens' novels emerge as representative case studies in their preoccupations with the disintegration of marriage, the far-reaching and disastrous effects of the doctrine of coverture, and the comic, spectacular, and monstrous possibilities afforded by the failed-marriage plot. Setting his narratives alongside the writings of liberal reformers like John Stuart Mill and the seemingly conservative agendas of Caroline Norton, Eliza Lynn Linton, and Sarah Stickney Ellis, Hager also offers a more contextualized account of the competing strands of the Woman Question. In the course of her revisionist readings of Dickens' novels, Hager uncovers a Dickens who is neither the conservative agent of the patriarchy nor a novelistic Jeremy Bentham, and reveals that tipping the marriage plot on its head forces us to adjust our understanding of the complexities of Victorian protofeminism.

The Rise of the Novel is Ian Watt's classic description of the interworkings of social conditions, changing attitudes, and literary practices during the period when the novel emerged as the dominant literary form of the individualist era.

Su eje vertebrador se plantea desde el propósito aprovechar de un instrumento de acceso tan generalizado como es el cine, recurriendo en particular a obras cinematográficas como Los pájaros, Crash, La maldición de Frankenstein, El síndrome de China, Erin Brockovich, El bosque, Camino a Guantánamo y La batalla de Argel. El libro enfoca, pues, una propuesta metodológica interdisciplinar que, con enorme atractivo intelectual y crítico, triangula teoría social, teoría jurídico-política y cine.
“La 'sociedad del riesgo' –advierten los editores- es un enunciado ambiguo, en el que el contenido de la realidad de los peligros y el modo de gestionarlos es objeto de conflicto. Refleja también una insistencia política sobre las amenazas que es en ocasiones más retórica que real, y otras veces expresa una intencionada inflación de las 'urgencias secundarias'. Sin embargo, tales dinámicas están produciendo importantes afecciones en el campo del Derecho y de las estrategias políticas”. Es por ello que en la sociedad del riesgo el contenido de realidad de los peligros, y la seguridad, se convierte en un enunciado ambivalente.

George Steiner a écrit plus de cent trente articles pour le prestigieux magazine américain The New Yorker entre 1967 et 1997, et il est incontestable que son érudition exceptionnelle y trouve une expression particulièrement brillante et divertissante. Le présent volume en offre un choix significatif et nous permet de suivre l'intellectuel européen dans son intérêt pour des thèmes ou personnages extrêmement divers. Que ce soit le destin d'Alfred Speer – son amitié avec Hitler, son rôle dans le régime nazi, puis son long emprisonnement dans la prison de Spandau – ou la singularité du roman 1984 de George Orwell, devenu une véritable jauge de l'évolution de nos sociétés, ou encore l'histoire d'Anthony Blunt – grand critique d'art, spécialiste de peinture française et conseiller de la reine d'Angleterre, et espion pour le compte de l'Union Soviétique –, George Steiner raconte et analyse toujours à la fois. Anton Webern, Graham Greene, Thomas Bernhard, Vladimir Nabokov, Samuel Beckett, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Walter Benjamin, Cioran, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Hermann Broch, André Malraux, Michel Foucault ou Paul Celan – pour ne citer qu'eux – donnent lieu à d'autres développements passionnants, vifs et nuancés. Ainsi rassemblés dans un recueil pour la première fois, l'ensemble nous offre un formidable condensé de la pensée du grand George Steiner.



Gideon´s Trumpet,
ISBN-13: 978-0679723127
Synopsis
Gideon's Trumpet was an assigment for a government class this semester. At first I was skeptical about reading the book because I already had studied the case and knew the facts and findings of the case. I am so glad that I did read the book.
Here's the facts as it happened in the case. Clarence Earl Gideon was arrested for misdeameanor charges. Gideon had a criminal record that included four felony charges, but all charges were for theft of some sort, never a violent crime. Gideon asked for an attorney to be appointed to him for the misdeamenor charges at trial, but was refused an attorney because he did not fit the "special circumstances" rule nor was he deserving of an attorney due to the fact that Gideon was on trial for a capital case. Special circumstances covered such reasons for needing an attorney as mental illness, illiteracy, or being a juvenile. Mr. Gideon did not make a claim to any of the above reasons, so he was denied an attorney.
Due to the denial of an attorney, Mr. Gideon was forced to represent himself at trial. For these misdeamenor charges Gideon was sentenced to serve five years, this sentence was more appropriate for a felony charge. While a prisoner in the Florida State Prison System, Gideon took the law into his own hands so to speak and filed his writ of certoiri to ask the court to hear his claim about being denied his due process rights because he was denied an attorney at trial.
The writ that was sent to the State Supreme Court was denied, then Gideon petitioned the Federal Supreme Court. He writ was allowed and he was given an attorney and retried. His attorney for retrial was Abe Fortas, who was later appointed to Supreme Court Justice.
Mr. Gideon was found innocent of the charges and set free, but what Gideon's petition to the Supreme Court did establish is that every person convicted of a crime would be granted an attorney, even he could not afford one.
The book is a great book in that instead of just babbling on about how writs are handled by the Supreme Court, the author Anthony Lewis takes the book step by step with the Gideon case, making it less tedious to read and more understandable.
Estoy sin embargo completamente persuadido de que la referencia a la obra de Lisa A. Wroble no es banal. La traigo aquí como parte de la serie que desde mediados de 2009 viene editando Enslow Publishers, y que al presente reúne siete títulos dedicados a importantes casos de
