<p>This book explores the evolution of male writers marked by peculiar traits of childlike immaturity. The ‘Boy-Man’ emerged from the nexus of Rousseau’s counter-Enlightenment cultural primitivism, Sensibility’s ‘Man of Feeling’, the Chattertonian poet maudit, and the Romantic idealisation of childhood. The Romantic era saw the proliferation of boy-men, who congregated around such metropolitan institutions as <i>The London Magazine</i>. These included John Keats, Leigh Hunt, Charles Lamb, Hartley Coleridge, Thomas De Quincey and Thomas Hood. In the period of the French Revolution, terms of childishness were used against such writers as Wordsworth, Keats, Hunt and Lamb as a tool of political satire. Yet boy-men writers conversely used their amphibian child-adult literary personae to critique the masculinist ideologies of their era. However, the growing cultural and political conservatism of the nineteenth century, and the emergence of a canon of serious literature, inculcated the relegation of the boy-men from the republic of letters. </p>

<p>This book argues that ‘deviance’ represents a central issue in neo-Victorian culture, and that the very concept of neo-Victorianism is based upon the idea of ‘diverging’ from accepted notions regarding the nineteenth-century frame of mind. However, the study of the ways in which the Victorian age has been revised by contemporary authors does not only entail analogies with the present but proves – by introducing what is perhaps a more pertinent description of the nineteenth century – that it was much more ‘deviant’ than it is usually depicted and perceived.</p> <p><i>Deviance in Neo-Victorian Culture: Canon, Transgression, Innovation</i> explores a wide variety of textual forms, from novels to TV series, from movies and graphic novels to visual art. The scholarly and educational purpose of this study<i> </i>is to stimulate readers to approach neo-Victorianism as a complex cultural phenomenon.</p> <br>

<p></p> <p>Any contemporary state presents itself as committed to the “rule of law”, and this notion is perhaps the most powerful political ideal within the current global discourse on legal and political institutions. Despite being a contested concept, the rule of law is generally recognised as meaning that government is bound in all its actions by fixed and public rules, and that these rules respect certain formal requirements and are enforced by an independent judiciary. </p> This book focuses on formal legality and the question of how to achieve good laws—a topic that was famously addressed by the 18th century enlightened thinkers, but also by prominent legal scholars of our time. Historically, the canon of “good legislation” demanded generality, publicity and accessibility, and comprehensibility of laws; non-retroactivity; consistency; the possibility of complying with legal obligations and prohibitions; stability; and congruency between enacted laws and their application. All these are valuable ideals that should not be abandoned in today’s legal systems, particularly in view of the silent revolution that is transforming our legality-based “states of law” into jurisdictional states. Such ideals are still worth pursuing for those who believe in representative democracy, in the rule of law and in the dignity of legislation. The idea for the book stemmed from the author’s parliamentary and governmental experience; he was responsible for the Government of Spain’s legislative co-ordination from 1982 to 1993, which were years of intensive legislative production. The more than five hundred laws (and thousands of decrees) elaborated in this period profoundly changed all sectors of the legal order inherited from Franco’s dictatorship, and laid the foundations of a new social and democratic system. For an academic, this was an exciting experience, which offered a unique opportunity to put the theory of legislation to the test. Reflecting and elaborating on this experience, the book not only increases scholarly awareness of how laws are made, but above all, improves the quality of legislation and as a result the rule of law. <p></p> <br> <p></p>

<p> This is an exciting collection of 15 stories. Indeed, there are some who are very good – there is a sad and exciting „Silly old fool” about a canon who believes that a woman cares for him, and „Engraving” sees how an obsessed husband goes against his wife’s desires, collecting engravings. Other great stories are Little Donkeys with Raspberry Saddles, gentle Chinese Horses about two women and a man, and Major Wilbraham sees a World War I major go crazy. This is a wide genre collection, including sad and tender to the point of horror.</p>

<b>Sur les traces du célèbre explorateur du Congo</b> <br>Deux amoureux se perdent dans la jungle et rêvent de se marier au prochain village pygmée : <i>Traîne-Savane</i> raconte l’histoire (vraie) de ce mariage romanesque décidé sur un coup de tête, au bout d’une longue errance au cœur de la forêt congolaise. Cent cinquante ans plus tôt, le zélé missionnaire David Livingstone déambulait le long des fleuves d’Afrique centrale, à la recherche d’une terre promise, d’une autoroute du commerce ou de sources miraculeuses. Fantasque et têtu, rêveur et maladroit, l’explorateur menait vaillamment ses combats impossibles jusqu’à ce que Stanley le retrouve sur les berges du lac Tanganyika et lui lance son mythique : « Doctor Livingstone, I presume... » <br> <br>En tressant ces deux parcours picaresques, Guillaume Jan relie le destin de ces Don Quichotte qui, chacun à leur manière, donnent leur cœur au continent noir. Curieusement, aucune biographie solide du Docteur Livingstone n’avait été jusqu’ici établie en langue française. <br> <br> <b>Mêlant aventure et histoire, ce roman est une fabuleuse source d'éléments biographiques sur David Linvingstone</b> <br> <br>CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE <br> <br>- "La plume de Guillaume Jan est fine, sensible et douce. Ouvrir ce livre, c’est comme se jeter dans les bras du Congo, les laisser se refermer sur nous et nous emporter dans une histoire aussi drôle que passionnante." <b>(Marie Musy, <i>Librairie du Midi</i>)</b> <br>- "On ne regrette pas ce voyage picaresque, haut en couleur et en humanité. Un récit pépite enchanteur." <b>(Alphonse Guillaume, <i>Modes & Travaux</i>)</b> <br>- "Sa passion pour l’Afrique vibre chaque instant dans ce récit vif et captivant." <b>(Nathalie Kermorvant, <i>Le Télégramme</i>)</b> <br>- " <i>Traîne-Savane</i> est une ode à l’Afrique centrale qui se termine avec brio par une description poignante de la capitale de la République démocratique du Congo et du vibrant quotidien des Kinois." <b>(Léa Desrayaud, <i>Le Point</i>)</b> <br> <br>A PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR <br> <br> <b>Guillaume Jan</b>, né en 1973, est reporter dans la presse magazine française. Son métier lui a permis d’être chercheur d’or en Guyane, de partager le quotidien des jeunes Irakiens sous l’empire de Saddam Hussein, de slalomer entre les mines à Kaboul, de séjourner dans le charmant village d’Al-Qaida au Yémen, de suivre les enseignements d’un gourou biterrois dans son ashram en Inde, d’infiltrer une filière de concubines en Chine, de jouer au ballon avec l’équipe de foot de Grozny ou au billard avec des gangsters anglais. Il vit à Paris. En 2009, il a publié <i>Le Baobab de Stanley</i>, ballade douce-amère au cœur de l’Afrique. <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>Le lion est à trente pas, tapi dans les hautes herbes.
