The London Hanged Crime And Civil Society In The Eighteenth Century

The London Hanged Crime And Civil Society In The Eighteenth Century
The London Hanged: Crime And Civil Society In The Eighteenth Century By Peter Linebaugh
2006 | 522 Pages | ISBN: 1859845762 | PDF | 167 MB
Peter Linebaugh's groundbreaking history has become an inescapable part of any understanding of the rise of capitalism. In eighteenth-century London the spectacle of a hanging was not simply a form of punishing transgressors.Rather it evidently served the most sinister purpose-for a prvileged ruling class-of forcing the poor population of London to accept the criminalization of customary rights and the new forms of private property.Necessity drove the city's poor into inevitable conflict with the changing property laws, such that all the working-class men and women of London had good reason to fear the example of Tyburn's Triple Tree.In this new edition Peter Linebaugh reinforces his original arguments with responses to his critics based on an impressive array of historical sources.As the trend of capital punishment intensifies with the spread of global capitalism, The London Hanged also gains in contemporary relevance.

The Limits of Exactitude in Greek, Roman, Byzantine Literature and Textual Transmission

The Limits of Exactitude in Greek, Roman, Byzantine Literature and Textual Transmission
Bruno, "The Limits of Exactitude in Greek, Roman, Byzantine Literature and Textual Transmission "
English | ISBN: 3110796511 | 2022 | 430 pages | EPUB | 8 MB
Building on Calvino's observations on Exactitude in Six Memos for the Next Millennium, the present book elucidates on the possible definitions of exactitude, the endeavor of reaching exactitude, and the undeniable limits to the achievement of this ambitious milestone.The eighteen essays in this interdisciplinary volume show how ancient and medieval authors have been dealing with the problem of exactitude vs. inexactitude and have been able to exploit the ambiguities related to these two concepts to various ends. The articles focus on rhetoric and historiography (section I), exact sciences and technical disciplines (II), the peculiarity of quotations (III), cases of programmatic inexactitude (IV) and textual transmission (V). Several interconnected questions weave a net across the volume: to what extent is exactitude the goal in ancient and medieval texts? How can the concepts of accuracy and inaccuracy aid the reinterpretation of an already known text or fact? To what extent can certain definitions of exactitude be stretched, without turning into inexactitude?The volume presents an extensive study capable of highlighting the shrewdness and aptness of the concepts introduced by Calvino more than thirty years ago.
