    Social media and mental health: moving beyond rhetoric to evidence

    A recurring topic in recent discussions about public health in developed countries has been concern about the mental health of young people. There is evidence going back over a decade of increase in levels of self-reported distress such as depression and anxiety and of self-harm. Explanations for these observations will naturally point to large scale […]

    Ruins and the Experience of Time

    Contemporary research into the biblical writings has been shaped by a number of influences and interpretive methods over the past century. But one of the most significant developments has been the birth of archaeological research and its impact on how we read the Bible.

    Nineteenth-Century Literature in Transition: The 1890s

    The 1890s were not very far in the rearview mirror when Holbrook Jackson published The Eighteen-Nineties: A Review of Art and Ideas at the Close of the Nineteenth Century (1913), the first of many early twentieth-century attempts to capture the spirit of the nineteenth century’s tumultuous final decade. Unlike later works that often conflated decadence […]

To stem the spread of disease and unrest, the authorities shut down the theaters for over a year. Popular resentment soon turned to an all-too-familiar scapegoat: immigrants.

    To See, or Not to See?: Shakespeare, Whiteness, and the Intraracial Color-Line

    Morality, the market and the role of professions in capitalism

    At a recent conference, a senior colleague asked what my book was called. ‘The rise and fall of the professional class!’, he exclaimed, ‘have they fallen already?’ It was an understandable response, for it seems not so long ago that scholars were all pointing our Foucauldian fingers at the power of the expert, the medical […]

    Shakespeare Survey 76

    When Shakespeare Survey began publishing its annual yearbook of criticism, interpretation, and performance in 1948, computer technology was in flux. Transistors were the new invention (1947). The first commercial digital computers, the Z4, were produced in 1950; Grace Hopper, the First Lady of Software, wrote the first computer language in 1953; and the integrated circuit […]
