The Cambridge History of Arthurian Literature and Culture 2 Volume Hardback Set
Arthur and his knights, Lancelot and Guinevere, Merlin the wise man, Mordred the traitor: these and so many other Arthurian tales make a living link between the distant British past and the contemporary world. In this rich history spanning two volumes, readers can explore how the story of Arthur has developed over sixteen centuries into a global cultural phenomenon. Expert contributors trace the Arthur myth from its earliest appearances in the sixth century through its development in the European Middle Ages into bold new forms of literature and historiography, and then through its challenges and transformations in early modernity, Romanticism, Modernism, and up to the present day. All things Arthurian are explored, both in traditional categories - literature, historiography, art history, politics, and manuscript studies - and also in modern media such as cinema, television, cartoons, tourist packages, and many others.

Judicial Individuality on the UK Supreme Court
This book presents an empirical analysis of the UK Supreme Court's output over its first ten years, with a specific focus on each individual judge's contribution to each case. It shows that judges, like all of us, are human; it would be difficult to imagine that any of us, even in our most professional capacity, could act completely independently of our predilections, motivations and biases. The same is true for the judges sitting on the UK's highest court. Drawing on insights from a bespoke dataset of judgments, this work discerns trends and tendencies across each judge's voting patterns and the reasoning they adopt when disposing of cases. It not only highlights areas of divergence, but also shows how each of the judges tended to vote in different contexts, including which were more likely to overturn appeals from lower courts, side with certain parties such as the state or underdogs, and find liability in various areas (tort, contract, criminal, EU, immigration and tax law, with a special focus on human rights cases). Another section illustrates the differences between the judges when it comes to judicial reasoning, such as their approach to precedent and preferred methods of statutory interpretation. This work shows that different judges exercise their power in different ways. Some are more comfortable with pushing boundaries whilst others are more restrained. Some grant the state a lot of leeway whilst others apply heavy scrutiny. Some are, as Lord Denning suggested, 'bold spirits' whilst others are 'timorous souls'. It shows, at least when it comes to the Supreme Court, that it matters who our judges are.

The Cambridge History of Arthurian Literature and Culture: Volume 2
The second volume of The Cambridge History of Arthurian Literature and Culture charts the growth and spread of Arthurian matter outwards from Britain into Europe, and then into the globalising world of the 1500s and beyond, up to the present day. In the opening chapters, Welsh and continental engagements with and adaptations of Arthuriana are foregrounded, alongside its permutations throughout the British early modern, Romantic, and Victorian eras. Essays then explore how the legend has gained new resonances and found new means of expression in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, through media as diverse as cinema, television, cartoons, games, and tourist packages. Chapters reveal how Arthurian matter remains relevant to issues such as race, gender, the emotions, and childhood, and how it has come to suffuse popular and literary culture on a global scale, in Japan, Australia, Latin America, and Africa.

Living Greatly in the Law
John Halden 'Hal' Wootten (1922-2021) - lawyer, legal academic and the founder of the UNSW Faculty of Law - made a major contribution to the law and public life in Australia. Wootten's essays on the causes he felt passionately about, including the rights of First Nations peoples, press degradation, the future of legal education, climate change, the Palestinian tragedy, are as fresh and relevant today as when they were written.Wootten's vision of what was important lead to a series of interesting jumps in his career, from barrister to law school dean to Supreme Court judge; from Royal Commissioner into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody to Chairman of the Australian Press Council. At all times he sought to 'live greatly in the law' - by his values and for those 'upon whom the law bears harshly'.In this edited collection of essays, speeches and unpublished work, David Dixon and Andrew Lynch present Wootten's contribution to shaping a more just society.'We all continue to benefit from Hal's legacy of "living greatly in the law" through the generations of lawyers he has educated and inspired. This important book introduces his vision to the next generation.' - Jennifer Robinson.

Quality Telefantasy
This book explores the relatively new genre of 'Quality Telefantasy' and how it has broadened TV taste cultures by legitimating and mainstreaming fantastical content. It also shows how the rising popularity of this genre marks a distinct and significant development in what kinds of TV are culturally dominant and critically regarded.By expanding and building on the definition of US Quality TV, this book brings together a number of popular science fiction, fantasy and horror TV series, including Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Westworld, as case studies which demonstrate the emergence of the Quality Telefantasy genre. It looks at the role of technology, including internet recap culture and subscription video on demand distribution, in Quality Telefantasy's swift emergence, and analyses its success internationally by considering series created outside the US like Kingdom (South Korea, Netflix) and Dark (Germany, Netflix). The book argues that Quality Telefantasy series should be considered a part of the larger Quality TV super-genre, and that the impact they are having on the global TV landscape warrants further investigation as it continues to evolve.This is a valuable text for students and scholars studying or undertaking research in the areas of television studies, new media and pop-cultural studies.

Spanish in Miami
Spanish in Miami reveals the multifaceted ways in which the language is ideologically rescaled and sociolinguistically reconfigured in this global city. This book approaches Miami's sociolinguistic situation from language ideological and critical cultural perspectives, combining extensive survey data with two decades of observations, interviews, and conversations with Spanish speakers from all sectors of the city. Tracing the advent of postmodernity in sociolinguistic terms, separate chapters analyze the changing ideological representation of Spanish in mass media during the late 20th century, its paradoxical (dis)continuity in the city's social life, the political and economic dimensions of the Miami/Havana divide, the boundaries of language through the perceptual lens of Anglicisms, and the potential of South Florida-as part of the Caribbean-to inform our understanding of the highly complex present and future of Spanish in the United States. Spanish in Miami will be of interest to advanced students and researchers of Spanish, Sociolinguistics, and Latino Studies.
