A genome-wide investigation into the underlying genetic architecture of personality traits and overlap with psychopathology
Personality is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors and is associated with other psychiatric traits such as anxiety and depression. The 'big five' personality traits, which include neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness, are a widely accepted and influential framework for understanding and describing human personality. Of the big five personality traits, neuroticism has most often been the focus o…

This wild abyss”: The trope of home in Philip Pullman’s his dark materials trilogy
This article discusses His dark materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, setting his concepts of home, which I regard as bearing a resemblance to Ernst Bloch’s Heimat or homeland, in the context of a 2002 interview with him and against the background of Bloch’s “atheism in Christianity”.

One of the main ‘issues in English Studies in Southern Africa’ has turned on the proper subject-matter and identity of local writers: should they act as recorders of, or protesters and activists against, injustice – or are other topics and methods, perhaps more aesthetic or personal, more appropriate for them? Or does such a debate miss the point? This matter is discussed by means of a brief consideration of Chris Mann's poetry between 1977 and 2…

Accommodating Estuary English
A study in accentual compromise. There is something in the very name Estuary English which fills certain sectors of British society with horror and fear, as if we were in the presence of a contagious and potentially devastating disease. It can provoke what John Maidment (1994:7) termed the ‘Disgusted-of-Tunbridge-Wells Syndrome’ (DTWS): “Nothing is likely to enrage DTW more than the suggestion that the standard language which he/she holds so dear…
