This adoration of Western culture created a longtime debate and split within Russian society’s intelligentsia, and on the other side of the debate was Slavophilism with its disdain for Western culture. ![]() The “ superfluous man” is typically a member of the nobility who’s either been educated abroad or educated to worship all things European, and this leads to a complete emotional detachment and alienation from Russian culture. The Home of the Gentry, Ivan Turgenev’s second novel, is an important work that explores the idea of the “ superfluous man.” Written in 1858, its main theme is the maladjustment of the upper classes to their native Russian culture. ![]()

Holt relaxed the requirements for guilt by transferring the determination of intent from a jury to a judge. In the seventeenth century, jurors had generally required three criteria for successful convictions of libel-proof of defamatory content against individual(s), proof of publication or intent to publish, and proof of a malicious state of mind (intent). ![]() Bear (1699)-by Lord Chief Justice John Holt of the Court of King’s Bench (1689–1710) precipitated this change. By all accounts, the lapse of the Licensing Act in 1695, the passage of the Treason Trials Act of 1696, and two rulings- R v.

The effects of loneliness are also varied. ![]() Most people experience loneliness at some points in their lives, and some feel it often. Research has shown that loneliness is found throughout society, including among people in marriages along with other strong relationships, and those with successful careers. Loneliness can be a result of genetic inheritance, cultural factors, a lack of meaningful relationships, a significant loss, an excessive reliance on passive technologies (notably the Internet in the 21st century), or a self-perpetuating mindset. In either case, it can be intense and painful. Loneliness can be short term (state loneliness) or long term (chronic loneliness). Hence, there is a distinction between being alone and feeling lonely.

There are a few choices that I’m not quite sure how I feel about - and obviously parts that made me VERY SAD, LEIGH, but okay fine, I recognize the necessity - but overall, I’m a happy reader. I laughed, I cried (!!!), I shook my fists, I cheered. How do you write a conclusion to a universe and all its conflicts - one with a massive, very dedicated fan base (with very strong opinions)? Well, I think she pulled it off well. It’s not going to be easy to review this book without spoilers for other books in the universe, but I am going to try! (If you’ve read it, DM me on Instagram because I have a lot of thoughts I can’t say here, lol.)īasically, Leigh Bardugo had a tall order on her hands here.
