Epiques chang’d to Doleful Elegies’
This article examines the elegies written in 1660 in response to the death of Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester. It analyses the elegies to show how Henry's death meant the joys of the Restoration shifted to emotions of grief and that doubts about the security of the new royalist regime were brought to the fore. The poems on Henry's death reveal the ideological fissures within royalist culture in 1660 concerning how best to ensure the restored roy…
The Rule of Choice
Two episodes of roadway planning in New York City—the 1937 Henry Hudson Parkway construction and the 2018 congestion pricing legislation—show the dangers and productive possibilities that result when planners “frame” problems as to be resolved by the choices of either experts or individual urban residents. Framing planning as a matter of choices is a reductive dualism that ignores the intellectual, material, and networked relationships that “over…
Perceptions of Covid-19-related risk and mortality among ethnically diverse healthcare professionals in the UK
HCPs have significant COVID-19-related concerns. BAME HCPs are considered at increased risk due to comorbidities, working in high-risk areas, and inadequate PPE. BAME HCP should have a thorough risk assessment and high-risk HCPs may need work adjustment or redeployment. All HCPs must have appropriate training and provision of PPE
Dryden and the Cultivation of the Restoration Pindaric Ode
This chapter traces Dryden’s responses to the development of the Restoration Pindaric ode. In Renaissance Europe, Pindar’s Greek odes were commonly seen as examples of inspired poetry. Abraham Cowley’s vernacular odes echoed and modified this tradition by presenting irregular Pindaric metre and form as a vehicle for paraphrasing biblical scripture. The chapter sees how Dryden thought through this link between inspiration and the Pindaric in odes …
Conclusion
Literary history often positions Dryden as the precursor to the great Tory satirists of the eighteenth century, like Pope and Swift. Yet a surprising number of Whig writers expressed deep admiration for Dryden, despite their political and religious differences. They were particularly drawn to the enthusiastic dimensions of his writing. After a short reading of Dryden’s poem to his younger Whig contemporary William Congreve, this concluding chapte…

Dryden and Enthusiasm
For John Dryden, enthusiasm was a crucial form of literary authority. It allowed writers to speak of supernatural or divine things. It signalled the intense emotions of an audience or reader that allowed them to share the writer’s visionary transport. Enthusiasm also carried disturbing political and religious registers. Referring to mistaken claims of divine inspiration, it was associated with the religious sects of the Civil Wars and Interregnum…
Data, democracy and school accountability
Debate over the closure of DeVasco High School shows that data-driven accountability was a methodological and administrative processes that produced both transparency and opacity. Data, when applied to a system of accountability, produced new capabilities and powers, and as such were political. It created second-hand representations of important objects of analysis. Using these representations administrators spoke on behalf of the school, the stu…

Making market rationality
What were politicians, planners, and activists able to make of market concepts and market devices as they crafted congestion pricing plans in the context of New York City’s regional governance structure, its transportation infrastructure, and its physical geography? The answer challenges typical assumptions about the use of market mechanisms in restructuring urban space. Market mechanisms and market rationality created a platform for political de…
The History of Tasmania
John West (1809–1873) was an English-born minister who received a Colonial Missionary Society post in Tasmania in 1838. West became an outspoken opponent of the ongoing government policy of transporting convicts from Britain to Tasmania. Around 1847 a wealthy supporter approached West to write the colony's history, although it had been a British territory only since 1803. West accepted the task and, amid his campaigning and other responsibilities…
New Directions in Recent Milton Criticism
This article considers the state of Milton criticism in 2008. It suggests that Milton criticism is emerging from a period when historicist criticism that investigated the politics of Milton's work was dominant and is now characterised by variety and change. The article considers how some historicist political criticism continues. It goes on to show how there is a new foregrounding of literary issues such as form and aesthetics and also how some M…
Sympathomimetic Preference and Ethnicity in Male Felons
A disproportionate number of Euro-American inmates given either an amphetamine- or cocaine-abuse diagnosis upon admission to prison were given a diagnosis of amphetamine abuse. A disproportionate number of African-American inmates were given a cocaine-abuse diagnosis. Of the 800 consecutively admitted inmates who were given one diagnosis or the other, 68% of the cocaine abusers, but only 4% of the amphetamine abusers, were African American

Child Molestation, Rape, and Ethnicity
Of 206 convicted sex offenders in a men's prison a disproportionate number of child molesters were white and a disproportionate number of rapists were black. Of the 758 inmates in general, a disproportionate number of both child molesters and rapists were white (n = 171 vs 35 black men)

Excavations at Gloucester. Fifth Interim Report
The third and fourth seasons of excavations at St. Oswald's Priory, Gloucester, have led to the discovery of two further pre-Conquest building phases, including evidence of a separate building to the east of the ‘New Minster’ founded by 909. It has also been established that the church occupies the site of a late Roman cemetery. Part of a decorated standing stone cross was found built into the early tenth-century church, and a report is provided …

The Forest Offenders of Medieval Worcestershire
Throughout the early Middle Ages Worcestershire was extensively afforested, both in the natural and the legal sense.
