Exile and Journey in Seventeenth-Century Literature

By: Christopher D'Addario

The political and religious upheavals of the seventeenth century caused an unprecedented number of people to emigrate, voluntarily or not, from England. Among these exiles were some of the most important authors in the Anglo-American canon. In this 2007 book, Christopher D'Addario explores how early modern authors thought and wrote about the experience of exile in relation both to their lost homeland and to the new communities they created for themselves abroad. He analyses the writings of first-generation New England Puritans, the Royalists in France during the English Civil War, and the 'interior exiles' of John Milton and John Dryden. D'Addario explores the nature of artistic creation from the religious and political margins of early modern England, and in doing so, provides detailed insight into the psychological and material pressures of displacement and a much overdue study of the importance of exile to the development of early modern literature.

The subject of Britain, 1603–25

By: Christopher Ivic

The subject of Britain analyses key seventeenth-century texts by Bacon, Jonson and Shakespeare within the context of the English reign of King James VI and I, whose desire to create a united Britain prompted serious reflection on questions of nationhood. This book traces writing on Britain and Britishness in succession literature, panegyric, Union tracts and treatises, play-texts and atlases. Focusing on texts printed in London and Edinburgh, as well as manuscript material that circulated within and across Britain and Ireland, this book sheds valuable light on texts in relation to the wider geopolitical context that informed their production. Combining literary criticism with political analysis and book history, The subject of Britain offers a fresh approach to a significant moment in British history, and will appeal to postgraduates and undergraduates of early modern British literary history.

Criminal Investigation and Procedure

The Law in Victoria

By: Christopher Thomas Corns,Steven Tudor

The law of criminal investigation and procedure in Victoria is undergoing significant changes, with major new statutes - the Evidence Act 2008 (Vic) and the Criminal Procedure Act 2009 (Vic) - soon to come into operation. This book is the first book to consider the new terrain of criminal procedure in Victoria. The Law of Criminal Investigation and Procedure in Victoria provides: Reference both to the current law and to the law soon to commence operation, so that the work is of immediate and enduring use; Clear and concise expositions of the relevant law, with case and legislative authorities succinctly identified; Focused analysis of selected issues of policy and principle; and Comprehensive coverage of all stages of the criminal process: investigation, prosecution, trial, sentencing, and appeal. As the investigation stage is vital to the unfolding of the criminal process, this work places particular emphasis on the laws and principles governing criminal investigations. Detailed yet accessible coverage is given to arrest and bail, questioning, search and seizure powers, fingerprinting and forensic procedures, and covert investigations. Throughout the book, relevant rights pertaining to the Victorian Charter of Human rights and Responsibilities are identified so that the law of criminal investigation and procedure in Victoria is clearly placed into its human rights context. The impact of the Charter, which came fully into operation on 1 January 2008, is gradually being felt across the Victorian criminal justice system. This is an indispensible and accessible guide for law students, lawyers, police and non-police investigators, and government policy-advisors.
