It was not until 1989, when Emily Sunstein published her prizewinning biography Mary Shelley: Romance and Reality, that a full-length scholarly biography analyzing all of Shelley's letters, journals, and works within their historical context was published. After her death, however, she was chiefly remembered only as the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley and as the author of Frankenstein.

In one case, he said not “one penny” of taxpayer money should be used to support religious schools. For example, Justice Black was a strong defender of the “high wall” theory of the establishment clause. However, he reached results that Scalia and Thomas would never countenance. ![]() Justice Black is often neglected in the literature on originalism, but he was the Supreme Court’s first full-throated originalist. In Limits of Constraint: The Originalist Jurisprudence of Hugo Black, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas, I show that justices often reached opposite conclusions using the same “originalist” approach: text and history. Among other things, Cole argues that the theory does not deliver on its promise of constraining judicial discretion, because of the many interpretive choices it leaves to judges.īut there is also empirical evidence for this claim.

Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness. Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. ![]() ![]() ![]() I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this classic autobiography, first published in 1903, Miss Keller recounts the first 22 years of her life, including the magical moment at the water pump when, recognizing the connection between the word "water" and the cold liquid flowing over her hand, she realized that objects had names. Her tenacious struggle to overcome these handicaps-with the help of her inspired teacher, Anne Sullivan-is one of the great stories of human courage and dedication.
