An arrogant lord cut-off by his family. A penniless widow in desperate need. In their reduced circumstances, can love save them both? Lord Neil Duncan, third son of the Marquess of Alderton, finally angers his father enough to be cut off from the family. Neil believes it is only a matter of time before he is reinstated, but time is passing slowly and he needs to eat. His so-called friends have abandoned him, no one else trusts him, and it is not until he comes upon a young widow that he finds someone who needs his help as badly as he needs hers. Teresa Clapham has been without a husband's provision and protection for over a year. Supporting her mother and daughter on the pittance her brother-in-law provides has required her to stretch every farthing. When Lord Neil arrives at her doorstep proposing he work for her to earn his keep, she sees possibility in the man everyone else has deemed an arrogant good-for-nothing. As Lord Neil works for the first time in his life, Teresa sees in him a tender heart long repressed by his family's expectations - a heart that causes her own to open once more. But her brother-in-law Frederick Clapham is less charmed by Teresa's new servant. When Lord Neil discovers the secret Mr. Clapham has been keeping, he must decide whether to embrace the man Teresa believes him to be, or fall back on the privileged lifestyle he's always known.

Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock
Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2022
sidottu
Fantasy author Neil Gaiman’s 1996 novel Neverwhere is not just a marvelous self-contained novel, but a terrifically useful text for introducing students to fantasy as a genre and issues of adaptation. Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock’s briskly written A Critical Companion to Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere offers an introduction to the work; situates it in relation to the fantasy genre, with attention in particular to the Hero’s Journey, urban fantasy, word play, social critique, and contemporary fantasy trends; and explores it as a case study in transmedial adaptation. The study ends with an interview with Neil Gaiman that addresses the novel and a bibliography of scholarly works on Gaiman.

Uber den im schottischen Hochland geborenen Schriftsteller und Journalisten Neil Munro (1863-1930) lagen bisher nur luckenhafte und teils widerspruchliche biographische Angaben vor. Es wurde daher versucht, das Leben und die Personlichkeit aus Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und Korrespondenz zu rekonstruieren. Bei der Untersuchung seines stark biographisch gepragten literarischen Werks ergeben sich im sprachlichen und thematischen Bereich wesentliche Unterschiede zu Scott und Stevenson, jenen Autoren, in deren Nachfolge er von Literaturkritikern oft pauschal eingeordnet wurde. Die Korrespondenz Munros wird zum weit uberwiegenden Teil erstmals einer breiteren Offentlichkeit zuganglich gemacht."

Law and Democracy in Neil MacCormick's Legal and Political Theory
Springer
2011
sidottu
This volume offers a collection of articles by leading legal and political theorists. Originally intended as a celebration of MacCormick’s work on the occasion of the completion of the four-volume series on Law, State and Practical Reason, it has turned into a homage and salute after MacCormick’s passing. Cast in MacCormick’s reflexive spirit, the book presents a critical reconstruction of the Scottish philosopher’s work, with the aim of revealing the connections between law and democracy in his writings and furthering his insights in each specific field.Neil MacCormick made outstanding contributions to the understanding of law and democracy under conditions of pluralism. His institutional theory of law has elucidated the close connection between the normative character of law as a means of social integration and legal social practices. This has produced a synthesis of the key insights of the legal and political theories of Kelsen, Hart, Alexy and Dworkin, and has broken new ground by undermining the ‘monolithic’ and ‘nation-state’ centered character of standard legal theories.
