ジョナサン・ベイト著 『古典がシェイクスピアに与えた影響』
How the Classics Made Shakespeare
Bate, Jonathan
E.H. Gombrich Lecture (Princeton U.P.)
2019 : 04 224 p. Hardback 9780691161600 \3,340
Ben Jonson famously accused Shakespeare of having “small Latin and less Greek.” But he was exaggerating. Shakespeare was steeped in
the classics. Shaped by his grammar school education in Roman literature, history, and rhetoric, he moved to London, a city that modeled
itself on ancient Rome. He worked in a theatrical profession that had inherited the conventions and forms of classical drama, and he read
deeply in Ovid, Virgil, and Seneca. In a book of extraordinary range, acclaimed literary critic and biographer Jonathan Bate, one of the world’s
leading authorities on Shakespeare, offers groundbreaking insights into how, perhaps more than any other infl uence, the classics made Shakespeare the writer he became.

In the summer of 1876, Mark Twain started to write Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a detective novel surrounding the murder of Huck’s
father, Pap Finn. The case is unresolved in the novel as it exists today, but Twain had already planted the clue to the identity of the killer. It is
not the various objects ostentatiously left around Pap’s naked body; they are not the foreground of the scene, but actually the background,
against which a peculiar absence emerges distinctively?Pap’s boots, with a "cross" in one of the heels, are gone with his murderer.

Japanese Tales of Lafcadio Hearn
Codrescu, Andrei (ed.)
Oddly Modern Fairy Tales (Princeton U.P.)
2019 : 07 216 p. Hardback 9780691167756 \3,080
Lafcadio Hearn (1850?1904) was one of the nineteenth century’s best-known writers, his name celebrated alongside those of Mark Twain
and Robert Louis Stevenson. Born in Greece and raised in Ireland, Hearn was a true prodigy and world traveler. He worked as a reporter in
Cincinnati, New Orleans, and the West Indies before heading to Japan in 1890 on a commission from Harper’s. There, he married a Japanese
woman from a samurai family, changed his name to Koizumi Yakumo, and became a Japanese subject. An avid collector of traditional
Japanese tales, legends, and myths, Hearn taught literature and wrote his own tales for both Japanese and Western audiences. Japanese Tales of Lafcadio Hearn brings
together twenty-eight of Hearn’s strangest and most entertaining stories in one elegant volume.

From the opening of trade with Britain in the 1850s, Japan occupied a unique and contradictory place in the Victorian imagination, regarded
as both a rival empire and a cradle of exquisite beauty. Quaint, Exquisite explores the enduring impact of this dramatic encounter, showing
how the rise of Japan led to a major transformation of Western aesthetics at the dawn of globalization.

辞書戦争：イギリス英語とのアメリカの闘い
The Dictionary Wars: The American Fight over the English Language
Martin, Peter
(Princeton U.P.)
2019 : 05 368 p. Hardback 9780691188911 \4,010
The overwhelming questions in the dictionary wars involved which and whose English was truly American and whether a dictionary of English
should attempt to be American at all, independent from Britain. Martin tells the human story of the intense rivalry between America’s fi rst
lexicographers, Noah Webster and Joseph Emerson Worcester, who fought over who could best represent the soul and identity of American
culture. Webster believed an American dictionary, like the American language, ought to be informed by the nation’s republican principles,
but Worcester thought that such language reforms were reckless and went too far. Their confl ict continued beyond Webster’s death, when the ambitious Merriam brothers
acquired publishing rights to Webster’s American Dictionary and launched their own language wars.

The Life of Animals in Japanese Art
Singer, Robert T. & Masatomo, Kawai (ed.)
(Princeton U.P.)
2019 : 05 384 p. Hardback 9780691191164 \8,710
Few countries have devoted as much artistic energy to the depiction of animal life as Japan. Drawing upon the country’s unique spiritual
heritage, rich literary traditions, and currents in popular culture, Japanese artists have long expressed admiration for animals in sculpture,
painting, lacquerwork, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, and woodblock prints. Real and fantastic creatures are meticulously and beautifully
rendered, often with humor and whimsy. This beautiful book celebrates this diverse range of work, from ancient fi fth-century clay sculpture to
contemporary pieces.

The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality
Pistor, Katharina
(Princeton U.P.)
2019 : 05 248 p. Hardback 9780691178974 \4,010
In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively “codes” certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and
produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital - and lawyers are the keepers of the
code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients’
needs, and how techniques that were fi rst perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks,
bonds, ideas, and even expectations - assets that exist only in law.

Capital markets have undergone a dramatic transformation in the past two decades. Algorithmic high-speed supercomputing has replaced
traditional floor trading and human market makers, while centralized exchanges that once ensured fairness and transparency have
fragmented into a dizzying array of competing exchanges and trading platforms. Darkness by Design exposes the unseen perils of market
fragmentation and “dark” markets, some of which are deliberately designed to enable the transfer of wealth from the weak to the powerful.

The twentieth century witnessed the triumph of democratic capitalism in the industrialized West, with widespread popular support for both
free markets and representative elections. Today, that political consensus appears to be breaking down, disrupted by polarization and income
inequality, widespread dissatisfaction with democratic institutions, and insurgent populism. Tracing the history of democratic capitalism over
the past two centuries, Carles Boix explains how we got here - and where we could be headed.

Bitcoin may appear to be a revolutionary form of digital cash without precedent or prehistory. In fact, it is only the best-known recent
experiment in a long line of similar efforts going back to the 1970s. But the story behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and its blockchain
technology has largely been untold - until now. In Digital Cash, Finn Brunton reveals how technological utopians and political radicals created
experimental money to bring about their visions of the future: protecting privacy or bringing down governments, preparing for apocalypse or launching a civilization of
innovation and abundance that would make its creators immortal.

Economics in Two Lessons: Why Markets Work So Well, and Why They Can Fail So Badly
Quiggin, John
(Princeton U.P.)
2019 : 04 368 p. Hardback 9780691154947 \4,010
Since 1946, Henry Hazlitt’s bestselling Economics in One Lesson has popularized the belief that economics can be boiled down to one
simple lesson: market prices represent the true cost of everything. But one-lesson economics tells only half the story. It can explain why
markets often work so well, but it can’t explain why they often fail so badly - or what we should do when they stumble. As Nobel Prize-winning
economist Paul Samuelson quipped, “When someone preaches ‘Economics in one lesson,’ I advise: Go back for the second lesson.” In
Economics in Two Lessons, John Quiggin teaches both lessons, offering a masterful introduction to the key ideas behind the successes - and failures - of free markets.

migration not to mention the disturbing phenomenon of karoshi (death by overwork).

Measuring Poverty around the World
Atkinson, Anthony B.
(Princeton U.P.)
2019 : 06 408 p. Hardback 9780691191225 \3,750
In this, his final book, economist Anthony Atkinson, one of the world’s great social scientists and a pioneer in the study of poverty and
inequality, offers an inspiring analysis of a central question: What is poverty and how much of it is there around the globe? The persistence of
poverty - in rich and poor countries alike - is one of the most serious problems facing humanity. Better measurement of poverty is essential for
raising awareness, motivating action, designing good policy, gauging progress, and holding political leaders accountable for meeting targets.
To help make this possible, Atkinson provides a critically important examination of how poverty is - and should be - measured.

(Princeton U.P.)
2019 : 05 264 p. Hardback 9780691186733 \4,010
There has never been a greater need for long-term investments to tackle the world’s most diffi cult problems, such as climate change and
decaying infrastructure. And it is increasingly unlikely that the public sector will be willing or able to fi ll this gap. If these critical needs are
to be met, the major pools of long-term, patient capital - including pensions, sovereign wealth funds, university endowments, and wealthy
individuals and families - will have to play a large role. In this accessible and authoritative account of long-term capital investment, two leading
experts on the subject, Harvard Business School professors Victoria Ivashina and Josh Lerner, highlight the signifi cant hurdles facing long-term investors and propose
concrete ways to overcome these diffi culties.

In this revelatory and outspoken book, David Blanchfl ower draws on his acclaimed work in the economics of labor and well-being to explain
why today’s postrecession economy is vastly different from what came before. He calls out our leaders and policymakers for failing to see
the Great Recession coming, and for their continued failure to address one of the most unacknowledged social catastrophes of our time.
Blanchfl ower shows how many workers are underemployed or have simply given up trying to fi nd a well-paying job, how wage growth has not
returned to prerecession levels despite rosy employment indicators, and how general prosperity has not returned since the crash of 2008.

Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers (Princeton U.P.)
2019 : 02 240 p. Hardback 9780691181950 \2,270
In his essay “On Anger” (De Ira), the Roman Stoic thinker Seneca (c. 4 BC-65 AD) argues that anger is the most destructive passion: “No
plague has cost the human race more dear.” This was proved by his own life, which he barely preserved under one wrathful emperor,
Caligula, and lost under a second, Nero. This splendid new translation of essential selections from “On Anger,” presented with an enlightening
introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, offers readers a timeless guide to avoiding and managing anger. It vividly illustrates why
the emotion is so dangerous and why controlling it would bring vast benefi ts to individuals and society.

Why do nations go to war? What are citizens willing to die for? What justifi es foreign invasion? And does might always make right? For nearly

How to Think about War presents the most infl uential and compelling of these speeches in an elegant new translation by classicist Johanna
Hanink, accompanied by an enlightening introduction, informative headnotes, and the original Greek on facing pages. The result is an ideally accessible introduction to
Thucydides’s long and challenging History.

Around the world today, nationalism is back - and it’s often deeply troubling. Populist politicians exploit nationalism for authoritarian,

Tamir makes a passionate argument for a very different kind of nationalism - one that revives its participatory, creative, and egalitarian virtues,
answers many of the problems caused by neoliberalism and hyperglobalism, and is essential to democracy at its best. In Why Nationalism,
she explains why it is more important than ever for the Left to recognize these qualities of nationalism, to reclaim it from right-wing extremists, and to redirect its power to
progressive ends.

laws in such a world. There, quantum fl uctuations of gravity become large, and what is called a background-free world where the concept of
time and distance is lost shall be realized. The renormalizable quantum gravity introduced in this book offers a theory in which such a world
is described by a certain conformal fi eld theory and a deviation from there is handled as a perturbation. This is the state-of-the-art of modern
physics that will help in understanding the history of the universe, from its birth to the present.
