Is history driven more by principle or interest Are ideas of historical progress obsolete Is it unforgivable to change ones mind or political allegiance Did the eighteenth century really exchange the civilizing force of commercial advantage for political conflict In this new account of liberal thought from its roots in seventeenthcentury English thinking to the end of the eighteenth century Annabel Patterson tackles these important historiographical questions She rescues the term whig from the low regard attached to it denies the primacy of selfinterest in the political struggles of Georgian England and argues that while Whigs may have strayed from liberal principles on occasion nobodys perfect nevertheless many were true progressivesIn a series of case studies mainly from the reign of George III Patterson examines or reexamines the careers of such prominent individuals as John Almon Edmund Burke Sir Joshua Reynolds Thomas Erskine and at the end of the century William Wordsworth She also addresses a host of secondary characters reshaping our thinking about both wellknown and lesser figures of the time Tracking a coherent sustained and adaptable liberalism throughout the eighteenth century Patterson overturns common assumptions of political cultural and art historians The author delivers fresh insights into the careers of those who called themselves Whigs their place in British political thought and the crucial ramifications of this thinking in the American political arena

In an aside that reads like a declaration of intent Anthony Lane writes that he never quite thrilled to the battle pitched between mainstream and art cinemawhich is to say that he glories in highbrow and lowbrow alike and respectfully suggests that the ideal literary diet consists of trash and classics books you can read without thinking and books you have to read if you want to think at allIn almost ten years as a critic for The New Yorker Lane has not only written an indispensable column on the latest movie releases great and small He has also turned his gaze upon subjects as various as Evelyn Waugh Shakespeare the glory of cookbooks and the fine art of the obituary Whether he is examining Alfred Hitchcock or astronauts to read him is to be carried along on a current of urgent inquiry What is the point of Demi Moore wry reflection and penetrating wit An essay on The Sound of Music leads him to consider not only singing nuns but the comedy of our cultural memories For all our searchings and suppressings the past comes unbidden or not at all his now infamous pieces on the bestseller lists both celebrate the exultantly bad prose of Judith Krantz and deride the marshes of the middlebrow where serious novelists lumber around with too many ideas on their back His writings on the poetry of Matthew Arnold A E Housman and especially T S Eliot showcase his erudition dispensed with a piercing insight into human folly In his survey of events as disparate as Oscar night a Walker Evans retrospective and the craziness of a Chanel show in Paris the acuity of Lanes intellect is matched by a quality of heart that is his alone and by a willingness to be carried away His writings remind us of what criticism can achieve at its bestArguably the most gifted reviewer at work today Anthony Lane sets the standardas a reader as a critic and as an observer of life Nobodys Perfect is a must for fans old and new

Nobodys perfect Nevertheless public confidence in the legal justice system depends on the belief that decisions made in judicial processes are reasonably correct and accurate Since no one has a monopoly on ultimate correctness a large part of trust in the correct and objective nature of outcomes of the judicial process is rooted in the trust in the mechanisms of quality control However the specific nature of the judicial process encapsulated in the principle of judicial independence as well as in the right to fair and swift adjudication requires specific control mechanisms that have to achieve a sensitive balance between various aims and goals Based on these observations this collection of essays focuses on the systems of appellate control of court judgments The book explores the relationship between the different approaches to appeals in national civil justice systems along with their impact on the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the legal protection of individual rights Recognizing that any approach to appeal has to strike a balance between the ideals of correctness legitimacy and impeccable legal reasoning on the one hand and the ideals of legal certainty effectiveness and efficiency on the other the books contributors were invited to discuss how contemporary justice systems deal with this issue This allows an evaluation of whether the issues in debate are rather disparate or whether on the contrary the procedural philosophies and approaches to appeal in different legal systems are converging Series Ius Commune Europaeum Vol 129
