Book Description
King John of England and Phillip, the bastard son of Richard I, are allied against the united powers of France, Brittany Austria, and the Papacy. But the two allies are utterly different men: John is an unscrupulous tyrant, and the Bastard is a witty, somewhat cynical hero, English to the core. In this early history play, the Bastard is played by Michael Maloney and King John, by Michael Feast. Eileen Atkins appears as Constance, the mother of Arthur, Duke of Brittany. Unabridged.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare's History of the Life and Death of King John The text of this edition of King John is based on that of the folio of 1623, collated with the leading modern editions. The chief variœ lectiones are mentioned in the Notes, and the few passages which present special difficulties (like i. I. 139, ii. I. 184, iii. I. 250, v.4. II, etc) are discussed at some length. The expurgation has been limited to the omission of a single line in i. I. A large part of that scene (say from line 49 to the end) may well enough be skipped in reading the play in schools or "Shakespeare clubs," but it is too intimately connected with the plot to be spared from the printed text. The engravings, most of which are from Knight's "Pictorial Sliakspere," are meant to be "illustrations" in the strict sense of the term. The figures of historical characters are from their monumental effigies and other contemporaneous representations. For the cut 011 page III, which will give a general idea of the military and priestly costume of the period, see p. 176, note on Saint Edmundsbury. The "Room of State" on p. 41 is an ideal sketch, but is in keeping with the architecture of John's time. The view of Angiers (p. 51) is from an old print. The book, like its predecessors, is meant to be complete in itself. The references to other volumes of the series are for the most part to longer notes which it did not seem best to reprint, though they may be of interest to the teacher or student who will take the trouble to look them up.

Book Description
In recent decades, the Australian social scientist John Braithwaite has played a crucial role in the development of international criminology. He is considered one of the most renowned criminologists of our time, and he has put his scientific engagement at the service of humanity and society by aiming at social justice, participatory democracy, sustainable development, and world peace. In this collection of essays well-known academics reflect on Braithwaite's work by addressing two leading questions: What are the implications of a republican theory of justice for criminology and criminal policy? And what is the role of academic criminology in today's social, political, and economic environment? The volume concludes with an extensive contribution from John Braithwaite himself in which he not only to the essays in the book but also addresses challenges to and future directions for academic criminology.

Book Description
(Applause Books). If there ever has been a groundbreaking edition that likewise returns the reader to the original Shakespeare text, it will be the Applause Folio Texts. If there has ever been an accessible version of the Folio, it is this edition, set for the first time in modern fonts. The Folio is the source of all other editions. The Folio text forces us to re-examine the assumptions and prejudices which have encumbered over four hundred years of scholarship and performance. Notes refer the reader to subsequent editorial interventions, and offer the reader a multiplicity of interpretations. Notes also advise the reader on variations between Folios and Quartos. The heavy mascara of four centuries of Shakespearean glossing has by now glossed over the original countenance of Shakespeare's work. Never has there been a Folio available in modern reading fonts. While other complete Folio editions continue to trade simply on the facsimile appearance of the Elizabethan "look," none of them is easily and practically utilized in general Shakespeare studies or performances.
