Roland Emmerich directs this political thriller based around the
notion that William Shakespeare was not in fact the author of the
canon of plays attributed to him. In Elizabethan England, political
intrigue abounds as the Tudors and the Cecils battle it out over
the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Joely Richardson/Vanessa
Redgrave), and the Essex Rebellion mobilises against her. Enter the
dashing and wildly talented Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford
(Jamie Campbell Bower/Rhys Ifans), who not only fathers an
illegitimate son in a clandestine incestuous relationship with
Queen Elizabeth, but is also the secret author of the plays labeled
with the name of William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall).

Shakespeare in Love
Young Will Shakespeare is the up-and-coming playwright of the time but has been disastrously struck by the bane of the writer's life - writer's block. His comedy "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter" is not going anywhere and the playhouse is under threat of closure. What Will needs is a muse - and she appears in the form of the beautiful (and betrothed) Lady Viola. The path of true love doesn't run smooth for Will, however - Viola is engaged to be married to the insufferable Lord Wessex at the command of Queen Elizabeth. The joys and tragedy of his own life soon find their way onto the page in a moving, witty and spellbinding tale.

This book presents the state-of-the-art, current challenges, and
future perspectives for the field of many-criteria optimization and
decision analysis. The field recognizes that real-life problems
often involve trying to balance a multiplicity of considerations
simultaneously – such as performance, cost, risk, sustainability,
and quality. The field develops theory, methods and tools that can
support decision makers in finding appropriate solutions when faced
with many (typically more than three) such criteria at the same
time. The book consists of two parts: key research topics,
and emerging topics. Part I begins with a general introduction to
many-criteria optimization, perspectives from research leaders in
real-world problems, and a contemporary survey of the attributes of
problems of this kind. This part continues with chapters on
fundamental aspects of many-criteria optimization, namely on order
relations, quality measures, benchmarking, visualization, and
theoretical considerations. Part II offers more specialized
chapters on correlated objectives, heterogeneous objectives,
Bayesian optimization, and game theory. Written by leading experts
across the field of many-criteria optimization, this book will be
an essential resource for researchers in the fields of evolutionary
computing, operations research, multiobjective optimization, and
decision science.
Literary Translation and the Making of Originals engages such
issues as the politics and ethics of translation; how aesthetic
categories and market forces contribute to the establishment and
promotion of particular "originals"; and the role translation plays
in the formation, re-formation, and deformation of national and
international literary canons. By challenging the assumption that
stable originals even exist, Karen Emmerich also calls into
question the tropes of ideal equivalence and unavoidable loss that
contribute to the low status of translation, translations, and
translators in the current literary and academic marketplaces.
