White Linen
White Linen is a story of betrayal by friends, family and the church. It explores the relationship between individuals and a society that sets great store by appearances and moral codes of behaviour. It exposes the corrupting influence such constraints can have at all levels of society and on many of the people concerned.
The Wall Between
In 'The Wall Between,' Sara Ware Bassett weaves an intricate narrative of two New England farms, their adjoining lands separated by a decaying wall steeped in tradition and rivalry. Bassett's prose gracefully mirrors the rolling hills of a New Hampshire landscape, setting the stage for a tale of inherited discord and the potential for reconciliation. The novel is rich with allegorical elements, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, a period marked by social change and reevaluation of longstanding customs. Within its pages, the reader will find a reflective examination of human stubbornness and the power of generational legacy, encapsulated in a pastoral drama that unfolds w...
The Application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in the UK: A State of Confusion - HC 979
The application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (the EU term for human rights) in the UK has been the subject of considerable media, judicial and political interest since November last year, when the comments of a High Court Judge on its influence on UK law were reported in the press and debated in Parliament. This Report aims to clarify a number of common misconceptions about the role of the Charter. Its key conclusions are: that the Charter applies in the UK where the Government and public authorities are acting within the scope of EU law - there is no opt-out; that the Charter is directly effective in the UK, with supremacy over inconsistent national law, and can therefore be used both to interpret and enforce EU law, and so disapply national legislation based on EU law; that the Charter does not include new rights, however, or give the EU new competences - but it will affect how pre-existing EU fundamental rights and principles are applied. Ministers should act to make clear beyond any doubt that the Charter will not in future apply in the UK, in particular through an amendment to the European Communities Act 1972
Treaty on stability, coordination and governance
The European Scrutiny Committee's report (HCP 1817, ISBN 9780215043665) on the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance (SCG), states that it is impossible to enforce and there are serious concerns over the rule of law, with no concessions for the UK. The Committee also views the SCG Treaty as doing little towards solving the eurozone crisis, except providing some comfort to international markets. It is also possible that the Treaty will prove to be politically impossible to enforce. Some form of breakdown of the eurozone clearly remains possible. The approach taken to proceed with the fiscal compact raises a fundamental question about the application of the rule of law within the EU...
History and Utopian Disillusion
Canonical but controversial works of radical modernism, John Dos Passos' novels continue to intrigue readers and challenge literary critics with their unique styles and provocative messages. This book offers an insightful and refreshing perspective on his fictional world, exploring the historical vision and utopian aspirations of his early novels in light of their dialectical politics in narrating modern American society. History and Utopian Disillusion convincingly shows that Dos Passos' epic-scale project is a radical hymn of faith dialectically inspiring the utopian resolution of American history by presenting entropic despair and disillusionment.

John Dos Passos's Transatlantic Chronicling
“I never could keep the world properly divided into gods and demons for very long,” wrote John Dos Passos, whose predilection toward nuance and tolerance brought him to see himself as a “chronicler”: a writer who might portray political situations and characters but would not deliberately lead the reader to a predetermined conclusion. Privileging the tangible over the ideological, Dos Passos’s writing between the two World Wars reveals the enormous human costs of modern warfare and ensuing political upheavals. This wide-ranging and engaging collection of essays explores the work of Dos Passos during a time that challenged writers to find new ways to understand and render the unfold...
