"The aim of this work is to furnish in concise form the essential material for an introductory study of Greek dialects," wrote Buck in his introduction to the 1910 edition of this systematic and thorough treatment of the regional speech patterns of Ancient Greece. Part I begins with an extensive section on phonology, followed by a grammar and then syntax and summaries of the dialects-Attic-Ionic, Ionic, Arcado-Cyprian, Aeolic, Northwest Greet and Doric. Part II gives over 100 pages of inscriptions in the various idioms, followed by a glossary and index. Also included are charts and a dialect map of Greece.

Irish women writers entered the British and international publishing scene in unprecedented numbers in the period between 1878 and 1922. Literary history is only now beginning to give them the attention they deserve for their contributions to the literary landscape of Ireland, which has included far more women writers, with far more diverse identities, than hitherto acknowledged. This collection of new essays by leading scholars explores how women writers including Emily Lawless, L. T. Meade, Katharine Tynan, Lady Gregory, Rosa Mulholland, Ella Young and Beatrice Grimshaw used their work to advance their own private and public political concerns through astute manoeuvrings both in the expanding publishing industry and against the partisan expectations of an ever-growing readership. The chapters investigate their dialogue with a contemporary politics that included the topics of education, cosmopolitanism, language, empire, economics, philanthropy, socialism, the marriage 'market', the publishing industry, readership(s), the commercial market and employment.

Experiencing the Last Judgement opens up new ways of understanding a Byzantine image type that has hitherto been considered largely uniform in its manifestations and to a great extent frightening, coercive and paralysing. It moves beyond a purely didactic understanding of the Byzantine image of the Last Judgement, as a visual eschatological text to be ‘read’ and learned from, and proposes instead an appreciation of each unique image as a dynamic site to be experienced. Paintings, icons and mosaics from the tenth to the fourteenth century, from inside and outside of the Byzantine Empire, are placed within their specific socio-historical milieus, their immediate decorative programmes and their architectural contexts to demonstrate that each unique image constituted a carefully orchestrated and immersive experience of judgement. Each case study outlines the differences that exist in reality between these images that are often subsumed under one iconographic label, making a case against condensing dynamic, lived images into apparently static pictorial ‘types’. Images of the Last Judgement needed the body, mind and memory of the viewer for the creation of meaning, and so the experience of these images was unavoidably spatial, gendered, corporeal, mnemonic, emotional, rhetorical and most often liturgical. Unpacking Byzantine images of judgement in light of these various facets of experience for the first time helps to elucidate the interaction of past individuals with the image, and the ways in which such encounters were intended to benefit the communities that made and lived alongside them.

Cigarettes are a strange commodity in an insane asylum. Not everybody has them; hence, they come to serve as a strange currency. Some ask for cigarettes; others hand them out. They can be symbols of friendship and sources of conversation. Most of all, however, they are the only material object that is not confiscated from the patient when he or she enters the asylum. Thus they become an element of identity and assume a much larger reality than they actually have.
