The ius commune in England
This study addresses the ius commune's relation to and influence on English law. Helmholz aims to fill in some of the gaps in scholarship on the common legal past of Western law, the history of the Roman and canon laws, the history of the ecclesiastical courts, parallels between the ius commune and English common law, and English church history.
The Western Codification of Criminal Law
This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.

Poetry and the Fate of the Senses
What is the role of the senses in the creation and reception of poetry? How does poetry carry on the long tradition of making experience and suffering understood by others? With Poetry and the Fate of the Senses, Susan Stewart traces the path of the aesthetic in search of an explanation for the role of poetry in culture. Herself an acclaimed poet, Stewart not only brings the intelligence of a critic to the question of poetry, but the insight of a practitioner as well. Her new study includes close discussions of poems by Stevens, Hopkins, Keats, Hardy, Bishop, and Traherne, of the sense of vertigo in Baroque and Romantic works, and of the rich tradition of nocturnes in visual, musical, and verbal art. Ultimately, she argues that poetry can counter the denigration of the senses in contemporary life and can expand our imagination of the range of human expression. Poetry and the Fate of the Senses won the 2004 Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism in Memory of Newton Arvin, administered for the Truman Capote Estate by the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. It also won the Phi Beta Kappa Society's 2002 Christian Gauss Award for Literary Criticism.
Le Pénal dans tous ses États. Justice, États et sociétés en Europe (xiie-xxe siècles)
L'État n'a peut-être jamais fait l'objet d'autant de recherches et de réflexions que depuis qu'il paraît, en Europe, menacé dans son existence et contesté dans ses fonctions. Ce débat n'épargne par les fonctions traditionnellement considérées comme fondatrices de l'État telle que la justice pénale. Cette évolution remet en cause l'illusion de permanence que les institutions pénales tendent à secréter et invite par là-même à s'interroger sur leur passé. Telle est la problématique abordée par le séminaire " Les États et le pénal : acculturation juridique et intégration nationale ", qui s'est tenu de 1992 à 1994 aux Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis de Bruxelles. Le plan du présent ouvrage, issu des travaux de ce séminaire, reflète les deux idées directrices qui ont guidé l'entreprise : - Dégager la question des rapports entre État, justice pénale et société de l'emprise des points de vue nationaux. - Étudier les vecteurs de l'acculturation dans leur développement et leur mise en oeuvre à travers les débats, les stratégies des acteurs sociaux et les pratiques.
