Advances in modern biotechnology have produced profound and
far-reaching implications for the relationship between humans,
animals and the environment. As a result, a debate has arisen
surrounding the legal, moral and social problems connected with
this technology, a central part of the debate focusing on the role
of moral considerations in the patent system as a form of
regulation. This fully revised and updated book examines this role
and asks why in the context of biotechnological inventions,
morality has become an important issue. It takes account of recent
developments, including reference to the situation in Australia. By
examining such specific recent cases, the author elucidates the
moral concerns associated with modern biotechnology, thus providing
an important contribution to the debate and a valuable resource for
all those working in this exciting field.

In Formal Revolution in the Work of Baudelaire and Flaubert,
Kathryn Oliver Mills argues that despite the enduring celebrity of
Baudelaire and Flaubert, their significance to modern art has been
miscast and misunderstood. To date, literary criticism has paid
insufficient attention to these authors' literary form and their
socio-cultural context. In addition, critical literature has not
always adequately integrated individual works to each author's
broader oeuvre: on the one hand critics do not often maintain
rigorous distinctions among texts when discussing Baudelaire and
Flaubert, and on the other hand scholars of Baudelaire and Flaubert
have not consistently considered the relationship of individual
texts to either writer's corpus. Furthermore, critical focus has
been on the modernity of Les Fleurs du mal, Madame Bovary, and
L'Education Sentimentale. Addressing these lacunae in scholarship,
Mills puts forth the argument that Baudelaire's collection of prose
poems, Le Spleen de Paris, and Flaubert's short, poetic tales,
Trois contes, best embody the modern aesthetic that Baudelaire
develops in Le Peintre de la vie moderne and that Flaubert
elaborates in his correspondence. Formal Revolution places these
relatively less well-known but last published works in relationship
with the artistic goals of their authors, showing that Baudelaire
and Flaubert were both acutely aware of the need to launch a new
form of literature in order to literally "come to terms with" the
dramatic changes transforming the nineteenth-century into the
Modern Age. More specifically, Formal Revolution demonstrates that
for Baudelaire and Flaubert the formal project of fusing prose with
poetry-as poetic prose in the case of Flaubert, as poetry in prose
in the case of Baudelaire-was crucial to their mission of "painting
modern life." This work concludes that experimentation with
literary form represents these two seminal writers' major legacy to
modernity; suggests that the twentieth-century might have gone too
far down that road; and speculates about the future direction of
literature. The modernity of Baudelaire and Flaubert, still
relevant today but often taken for granted, needs to be reexamined
in light of the cultural, formal, and contextual considerations
that inform Formal Revolution in the Work of Baudelaire and
Flaubert.
