The third part combines a novel approach to the problem of understanding other people, whilst the fourth part is biographical in an unusual way.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1924, Professor Hobhouse's theories and commentaries upon social development are an important milestone in the history of sociological thought.

Book Synopsis Women, Crime and Criminology (Routledge Revivals) by : Carol Smart
Download or read book Women, Crime and Criminology (Routledge Revivals) written by Carol Smart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, Women, Crime and Criminology presents a feminist critique of classical and contemporary theories of female criminality. It addresses the issue that criminology literature has, throughout history, been predominantly male-oriented, always treating female criminality as marginal to the ‘proper’ study of crime in society. Carol Smart explores a new direction in criminology, and the sociology of deviance, by investigating female crime from a committed feminist position. Examining the types of offences committed by female offenders, Smart points to the fallacies inherent in a reliance on official statistics and shows the deficiencies of the popular argument that female emancipation has caused an increase in female crime rates. She deals with studies of prostitution and rape and considers the treatment of women – as offenders and victims – by the criminal law, the police and courts, and the penal system. Particular attention is given to the question of lenient treatment for female offenders with the conclusion that women and girls are, in some important instances, actually discriminated against in our legal and penal systems. The relationship between female criminality and mental illness is discussed and the author concludes by dealing with some of the problems inherent in developing a feminist criminology.
Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: The Progress of Romance (1986) by : Jean Radford
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: The Progress of Romance (1986) written by Jean Radford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, the aim of this book is to present some of the changing thinking on popular writing to a wider audience in view of the enormous growth of mass culture after the war, but also to offer a historical perspective on a specific form of popular fiction: the romance. The essays collected here reflect diverse positions and methods in the current debate: sociological, psychoanalytic and literary. Some focus more on texts or readers, others concentrate on theoretical questions about narrative or ideology. All of the essays, however, view popular forms and their uses historical in historical context — rejecting the notion they are a contaminated by-product of industrialism.
Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: English Poetry in the Later Nineteenth Century (1933) by : B. Ifor Evans
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: English Poetry in the Later Nineteenth Century (1933) written by B. Ifor Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1933, this study, which underwent revision in the 1960s, is a comprehensive survey of the verse of English nineteenth-century poets whose work appeared after 1860. A special feature is the full and critical treatment of minor writers. In no other book is their work so carefully evaluated. There is a full account of the minor Pre-Raphaelites, of James Thomson, the poet of The City of Dreadful Night, of Henley, Stevenson and George MacDonald. John Davidson is the subject of a long and revealing study. Evans suggests that poetry from the late nineteenth century is neglected in scholarly study, and that Victorian Romanticism deserves more attention than it has recently received.
Book Synopsis The Foundation and Construction of Ethics (Routledge Revivals) by : Franz Brentano
Download or read book The Foundation and Construction of Ethics (Routledge Revivals) written by Franz Brentano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding on the theory of ethics first posited by Brentano in The Origin of our Knowledge of Right and Wrong this re-issued work, first published posthumously in 1952, is based on series of lectures on practical philosophy, given at the university of Vienna from 1876 to 1894. The English-speaking reader will find it interesting to examine the step-by-step development of Brentano’s ethical theory, his extensive critique of British moral philosophers, and his unusually detailed section on casuistry.
Book Synopsis What is the Kingdom of Heaven? (Routledge Revivals) by : A. Clutton-Brock
Download or read book What is the Kingdom of Heaven? (Routledge Revivals) written by A. Clutton-Brock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written as the First World War was finally drawing to a close, A. Clutton-Brock’s reflections on the Kingdom of Heaven examine this challenging theological concept in light of the great religious, political and moral uncertainties thrown up by the conflict. In particular, Clutton-Brock contends that historically Christian orthodoxy has not sufficiently emphasised the role of the Kingdom in salvation, given its importance in the ministry and teaching of Christ. To preserve a religious vision capable of interacting with the modern, industrial world, Christian orthodoxy must carefully consider the scope and importance of political practice, the role of the individual in the realisation of the Kingdom, and the profound implications of reconciling the facts of the universe with the most sincerely held beliefs.

Book Synopsis Voice Terminal Echo (Routledge Revivals) by : Jonathan Goldberg
Download or read book Voice Terminal Echo (Routledge Revivals) written by Jonathan Goldberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, this title examines a set of English Renaissance texts by Shakespeare, Spenser, Herbert, Marvell and Milton, within the theoretic framework of postmodern thought. Following an opening chapter that argues for the value of this conjunction as a way of understanding literary history, subsequent chapters draw upon Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction of photocentrism and Jacques Lacan’s analysis of the agency of the letter to offer fully theorized readings. Throughout, there is a sustained concern with the transformations of such Ovidian figures as Narcissus and Echo, Perseus and Medusa, Orpheus and Eurydice, and with the echo effects of Virgilian pastoral, as paradigms for the interplay of voice and writing.

Book Synopsis A Widening Sphere (Routledge Revivals) by : Martha Vicinus
Download or read book A Widening Sphere (Routledge Revivals) written by Martha Vicinus and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, this book is a companion volume to Suffer and Be Still. It looks at the widening sphere of women’s activities in the Victorian age and testifies to the dual nature of the legal and social constraints of the period: on the one hand, the ideal of the perfect lady and the restrictive laws governing marriage and property posed limits to women’s independence; on the other hand, some Victorian women chose to live lives of great variety and complexity. By uncovering new data and reinterpreting old, the contributors in this volume debunk some of the myths surrounding the Victorian woman and alter stereotypes on which many of today’s social customs are based.
Book Synopsis Revival: The Evolution of Modern Marriage (1930) by : Franz Carl Muller-Lyer
Download or read book Revival: The Evolution of Modern Marriage (1930) written by Franz Carl Muller-Lyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So many books on marriage leave one with a feeling of chaos that it is important to examine any document underlying the discovery of order by searching for underlying tendencies. The author emphasizes the necessity of taking the evolutionary point of view, and sees in militant feminism, which teaches emulation of men, a phase which will pass as women come to make their own peculiar spiritual contribution to civilization as men have done. Perhaps this will come the sooner, he suggests, if women will regard themselves as the equivalents and not as the equals of men.

Book Synopsis Revival: Studies of Savages and Sex (1929) by : Alfred Ernest Crawley
Download or read book Revival: Studies of Savages and Sex (1929) written by Alfred Ernest Crawley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of my revised edition of Mr Crawley's The Mystic Rose has encouraged me to bring together in the present volume some of his papers previously unpublished in book-form, on subjects akin to those of his great work. Mr Crawley's treatment of these problems of sexual anthropology, especially on the psychological side, was, in the years in which he was most actively at work, too uncompromisingly original to meet with general acceptation, even in academic circles. But now his standpoint, which can perhaps be best described as being that of a profound psychological analysis on the basis of biological common-sense, is beginning to be appreciated. And the following papers will be found, I think, to contain all those qualities which so sharply differentiate Mr Crawley's work from that of most other students in the same fields.
Book Synopsis A Philosophy in Outline (Routledge Revivals) by : E.S. Bennett
Download or read book A Philosophy in Outline (Routledge Revivals) written by E.S. Bennett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-06 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1931, this book provides a brief overview of the essentials of philosophy. It aims to combat the notion of the inaccessibility of philosophy by providing an introduction to its history and what the author believes to a ‘minimum dose...of incontrovertible philosophical truth’. The book merely assumes an ordinary level of adult education and offers an outline of the key areas of philosophy — consciousness, reality, experience, Life, God, love, aesthetics, conduct, logic — and as such will be of interest as a very useful starting point for anyone wishing to undertake further studies.
