Reproduction of the original: Hetty Gray by Rosa Mulholland
In 'Hetty Gray; or, Nobody's bairn' by Rosa M. Gilbert, the reader is transported to nineteenth-century Scotland, where the protagonist Hetty Gray must navigate through a society marked by poverty and hardship. The novel's narrative style is reminiscent of Victorian literature, filled with vivid descriptions of rural landscapes and the struggles of the working class. Gilbert expertly weaves a tale of resilience and survival, making 'Hetty Gray' a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction and societal issues. The book sheds light on the plight of orphaned children in a time when social welfare systems were virtually non-existent. This context adds depth to the story and prompts readers to reflect on the parallels with contemporary social challenges.

Legal Sources in Business and Human Rights engages with some evolving trends that are currently affecting the international and EU law sources in the field of Business and Human Rights. Three main dynamics are detected and explored: the emergence of international legal obligations that are also binding on corporations (Part I); the growing participation of corporations in traditional international standard-setting and law-making processes and, in parallel, the emergence of atypical and heterogeneous law-making processes (Part II); the formal or substantive hardening of originally soft normative standards, through a multi-layered and multi-player law-making process (Part III). Interestingly, these trends concur to mitigate States’ reluctance to accept binding rules in this field, and to strengthen the effectiveness of soft international regulation.
