Early Shakespeare, 1588-1594
No full textEarly Shakespeare, 1588–1594 draws together leading scholars of text, performance, and theatre history to offer a rigorous re-appraisal of Shakespeare's early career. The contributors offer rich new critical insights into the theatrical and poetic context in which Shakespeare first wrote and his emergence as an author of note, while challenging traditional readings of his beginnings in the burgeoning theatre industry. Shakespeare's earliest works are treated on their own merit and in their own time without looking forward to Shakespeare's later achievements; contributors situate Shakespeare, in his twenties, in a very specific time, place, and cultural moment. The volume features essays about Shakespeare's early style, characterisation, and dramaturgy, together with analysis of his early co-authors, rivals, and influences (including Lyly, Spenser and Marlowe). This collection provides essential entry points to, and original readings of, the poet-dramatist's earliest extant writings and shines new light on his first activities as a professional author

Pictures of You : Ten Journeys in Time
No full text"The 20th century took history out of the hands of historians and gave it to photographers. in Pictures of You, best-selling author Rory MacLean (Stalin's Nose, Berlin:Imagine a City) draws on the world's largest archive of amateur photography to discover ten real lives, one from each decade of that century. The first killing of the Cold War, the dying hopes of a doomed aviator, the ghosts of Native America at Alcatraz, Chairman Mao's most timid lover; ten journeys in time, ten forgotten voices that echo down from the past, ten intimate stories that mirror our own." -- p. [2] of cover
Estimating public preferences on population health ethics
No full textWe develop a social choice experiment to estimate public preferences on population ethics. Our experiment poses three within-subject treatments in which participants allocate scarce resources to determine the health-related quality-of-life, and existence, of two population groups. Within a flexible social welfare function, we estimate participant-level preferences for inequality aversion, average vs total welfare maximisation, and minimum 'critical level' thresholds. By combining random behavioural and random utility models we also explicitly model 'noise' in decision making. Using a sample of UK adults (n=115, obs.=5,060), we find that 98.7% of respondents are inequality averse, prioritising the worst-off at the expense of efficiently maximising overall health. The modal group of participants (39.2%) maximise total welfare and have a critical level threshold of zero, however there is extensive heterogeneity in participants' population preferences. We then demonstrate how these preferences can aid policymaking, where difficult trade-offs emerge between equity and efficiency, average and total welfare, and population size

Within a flexible social welfare function, we estimate participant-level preferences for inequality aversion, average vs total welfare maximisation, and minimum ‘critical level’ thresholds. By combining random behavioural and random utility models we also explicitly model ‘noise’ in decision making. Using a sample of UK adults (n=115, obs.=5,060), we find that 98.7% of respondents are inequality averse, prioritising the worst-off at the expense of efficiently maximising overall health. The modal group of participants (39.2%) maximise total welfare and have a critical level threshold of zero, however there is extensive heterogeneity in participants’ population preferences.

Experimental estimation of preferences on population health ethics
No full textWe develop a novel social choice experiment capable of estimating preference parameters on population ethics. Our experiment poses three within-subject treatments in which participants allocate scarce resources to determine the health-related quality-of-life, and existence, of two population groups. Within a flexible social welfare function, we estimate participant-level preferences for inequality aversion, average vs total welfare maximisation, and minimum ‘critical level’ thresholds. By combining random behavioural and random utility models we also explicitly model ‘noise’ in decision making. Using a sample of British adults (n = 115, obs. = 5060), we find that 98.7% of respondents are inequality averse, prioritising the worst-off at the expense of efficiently maximising overall health. The modal group of participants (39.2%) maximise total welfare and have a critical level threshold of zero, however there is extensive heterogeneity in participants’ population preferences. We demonstrate how these preferences could be used to aid policymaking, where difficult trade-offs emerge between equity and efficiency, average and total welfare, and population sizes
