British Law and Literature in the Long Eighteenth Century
The law underwent significant changes in eighteenth-century Britain as jurists and legislators adapted doctrines to fit the needs of an increasingly commercial, industrial, and imperial society. This volume reveals how legal developments of the period shaped and were shaped by imaginative writing. Reading canonical and lesserknown texts from the Restoration to the Romantic era, the chapters explore literary engagements with libel law, plague law,…
Torture, Imperial Citizenship, and Embodied Reading
Katherine Judith Anderson's Twisted Words: Torture and Liberalism in Imperial Britain deftly aligns four major areas of inquiry—torture, literary realism, liberalism, and imperialism—through original historical research, theoretical insight, and new attention to popular genres of religious and settler-colonial fiction, as well as canonical novels. Drawing on the etymology of torture for its title, Twisted Words studies changing definitions of the…

“Inverted Sympathy”
This chapter argues that understanding the role of empathy as mediation is crucial to explaining how it may be involved in transactions of human rights in literature and the arts. Scholars&s; rejection or embrace of empathy seems often to depend on whether the view it as an essential or tangential element of human rights aesthetics. The chapter examines a single case study of an early-nineteenth-century novel that attempts to theorize how literat…

Child Slavery before and after Emancipation
If we are to fully understand how slavery survived legal abolition, we must grapple with the work that abolition has left undone, and dismantle the structures that abolition has left in place. Child Slavery before and after Emancipation seeks to enable a vital conversation between historical and modern slavery studies - two fields that have traditionally run along parallel tracks rather than in relation to one another. In this collection, Anna Ma…

Are human rights capable of liberation? The case of sex and gender diversity
This article analyses the international human rights case law in the area of sex and gender diversity. While recognising the limitations in securing human rights through a solely legal process and the weakness in securing rights under privacy, the article argues that there are opportunities to further the human rights of people who are sex and gender diverse. In particular, claims based on the right to freedom of expression before the United Nati…

Darwin's Saussure
Charles Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872) theorizes expressions as biological signs based on the physiological signifier's arbitrary nature as an outcome of natural selection. Darwin's biosemiotic thinking in advance of Saussurian linguistics produces a correlated reading of race as a biologically incoherent sign. While Darwin's methodological modernism remains implicit in his writings, the Darwinian biosemiotics t…

I began with enthusiasm, but after a few lines I lost the place in my memory and felt I should start all over again. Detecting this thought, my father instantly began where I had halted and marched along very well, certainly with more assurance than I had shown, although I had, in fact, learnt the lines only a few weeks earlier and my father had not recited them for thirty years. However, he, too, reached a point where his memory failed and he be…
