Imagined Homelands

Sat, 07 Jun 2025
Explores British poetry written or circulated in various colonies, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa, during the nineteenth century. Rudy argues that this poetry, found in sources like emigrant ship journals and colonial newspapers, provides unique insights into the experiences of British emigrants and their evolving identities in these new lands. The book examines how colonial poets adapted British literary traditions and forms, reflected on themes of belonging, dislocation, and the concept of "home", and engaged with the political and social realities of their colonial environments, including interactions with indigenous populations and the development of national identities.

Imagination and Science in Romanticism

Sat, 07 Jun 2025
Examines the relationship between imagination and science during the Romantic period, arguing against the prevalent idea that the two were fundamentally opposed. Instead, it suggests that scientific inquiry relied heavily on imaginative processes, particularly in the understanding of matter as dynamic and in early physiological theories concerning nerves and generation. The author contends that even when scientists cautioned against uncontrolled speculation, the power of imagination was acknowledged as crucial for forming hypotheses, making analogies, and interpreting phenomena, especially in fields like chemistry, physics, and embryology. Ultimately, the text posits that the Romantic era saw imagination as deeply intertwined with the material world and essential for both scientific progress and human understanding.

Imaginary Citizens: Child Readers and the Limits of American Independence

Sat, 07 Jun 2025
Explores the historical understanding of citizenship in America, particularly how the concept was shaped by notions of childhood. It examines how children's literature and educational practices were used to cultivate "imaginary citizenship" by promoting affection and obedience to the law. The texts highlight the tension between the ideals of natural freedom and the limitations placed on children, as well as other excluded groups like women and slaves, who were often metaphorically aligned with children to justify their lack of full political rights. Ultimately, the sources argue that these imaginary forms of citizenship played a significant role in defining what it meant to be an American citizen, even as legal definitions evolved.

Illuminating Leviticus: A Study of Its Laws and Institutions in the Light of Biblical Narratives

Thu, 05 Jun 2025
Proposes that many laws and institutions found in the book of Leviticus were not primarily formulated to address contemporary societal issues but were inspired by specific events and narratives within the biblical epic stretching from Genesis through 2 Kings. The author argues that the lawgiver, an anonymous figure of a later era, crafted these rules as a form of commentary or response to peculiar or formative moments recorded in the historical accounts of the Israelites and their ancestors. These narratives, rather than practical necessity, are seen as the driving force behind the selection and ordering of topics in Leviticus, sometimes leading to seemingly impractical or unusual legal stipulations that reflect the specific, often idiosyncratic, circumstances depicted in the stories. This perspective offers an alternative to interpretations that view these laws as solely serving practical or utopian functions in ancient Israelite society.

Illiberal Practices: Territorial Variance within Large Federal Democracies

Thu, 05 Jun 2025
Examine illiberal practices and territorial variance within large federal democracies, focusing on subnational regimes in Argentina, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Russia. They analyze how factors like electoral contestation, the influence of political families, state-protected violence, and control of the judiciary contribute to variations in democratic performance at the subnational level. The chapters explore how historical legacies, informal institutions, and the relationship between federal and subnational governments and parties shape the uneven distribution of political rights and accountability within these countries. Different pathways towards subnational democratization are considered, including top-down interventions and bottom-up pressures.
