The book subjects male characters in six south Wales novels written
between 1936 and 2014 to detailed, gendered reading. It argues that
the novels critique the form of masculine hegemony propagated by
structural patriarchy serving the material demands of industrial
capitalism. Each depicts characters confined to a limited
repertoire of culturally endorsed behaviourial norms - such as
displays of power, decisiveness and self-control - which prohibit
the expression and cultivation of the subjective self. Within the
social organisation of industrial capitalism, the working-class
characters are, in practice, reduced to dispensable functionaries
at work while, in theory, they are accorded the status of
patriarchally-sanctioned principals at home. Ideologically
subservient and 'feminised' in one context, they are ideologically
dominant and 'masculinised' in another. As they negotiate, resist
or strive to reconcile the irreconcilable demands of such gendered
practices, recurring patterns of exclusion, inadequacy and mental
instability are made evident in their representation.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.This collection
reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a
vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal
field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William
Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as
almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the
day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from

enterprise on record, a 914 Sq Mi wildlife ecotourism development
which safeguards the UN's botanically diverse region. But Jim fails
to develop it, dies in 1999. The author now targets recruiting a
billionaire or Disney to fund expanding to 4000 Sq Mi to connect to
the nearby 38,500 Sq Mi worlds' largest wildlife refuge, to provide
range to save 5000 Kruger elephants slated for mercy killing for
overgrazing.
