The Play of Conscience in Shakespeare’s England

The Play of Conscience in Shakespeare’s England

Having a conscience distinguishes humans from the most advanced AI systems. Acting in good conscience, consulting one’s conscience, and being conscience-wracked are all aspects of human intelligence that involve reckoning (deriving general laws from particular inputs and vice versa), and judgement (contemplating the relationship of the reckoning system to the world). While AI developers have mastered reckoning, they are still working towards the creation of judgement. This book sheds light on the reckoning and judgement of conscience by demonstrating how these concepts are explored in Everyman, Doctor Faustus, The Merchant of Venice, and Hamlet. Academic, student, or general-interest readers discover the complexity and multiplicity of the early modern concept of conscience, which is informed by the scholastic intellectual tradition, juridical procedures of the court of Chancery, the practical advice of Protestant casuistry, and Reformation theology. The aims are to examine the rubrics for thinking through, regulating, and judging actions that define the various consciences of Shakespeare’s day, to use these rubrics to interpret questions of truth and action in early modern plays, and to offer insights into what it is about conscience that developers want to grasp to eliminate the difference between human and non-human intelligences, and achieve true AI.

A Child's History of England is a book by Charles Dickens. It first appeared in serial form in Household Words, running from 25 January 1851 to 10 December 1853. Dickens also published the work in book form in three volumes: the first volume on 20 December 1851, the second on 25 December 1852 and the third on 24 December 1853. 1] Although the volumes were published in December, each was postdated the following year. They bore the titles: Volume I. - England from the Ancient Times, to the Death of King John (1852) Volume II. - England from the Reign of Henry the Third, to the Reign of Richard the Third (1853) Volume III. - England from the Reign of Henry the Seventh to the Revolution of 1688 (1854) Dickens dedicated the book to "My own dear children, whom I hope it may help, bye and bye, to read with interest larger and better books on the same subject". The history covered the period between 50 BC and 1689, ending with a chapter summarising events from then until the accession of Queen Victoria. In a letter to his friend Douglas William Jerrold, Dickens confessed that he was composing the book so that he could prevent his children from embracing conservatism

Uranian Children’s Literature and the Early Gay Movement in England

Uranian Children’s Literature and the Early Gay Movement in England

Uranian Children’s Literature and the Early Gay Movement in England: The Romance of Youth considers how writers associated with the Uranian poets, Order of Chaeronea, and British Society for the Study of Sex Psychology (BSSSP)—among the earliest efforts to organize on behalf of same-sex love in England beginning in the mid-1890s—used boys’ fiction to imagine a world in which same-sex romantic bonds could be possible. Some of the central figures in the early gay movement in England wrote for children or influenced others who did, and these juvenile writings both contributed to a larger discourse of homosexual emancipation and addressed the interests of Uranian youth. Uranian writers and members of the Order of Chaeronea and BSSSP recognized how the conditions of modern life posed distinct challenges to shaping the character of boys, and they used children’s literature and the rhetoric of chivalry to propose solutions to the boy problem and promote their vision of a homosexual future. This volume provides the first book-length account of the role of children’s literature in the early gay movement in England, including works by E.E. Bradford, George Cecil Ives, J.M Barrie, Laurence Housman, Kenneth Ingram, and Beverley Nichols.
