Byron's Temperament: Essays in Body and Mind (Ed. by J. Shears)
No full textThis volume is the first to draw together, in eight original essays by international scholars, some of the dominant strains in critical thinking about Byron’s temperament and behaviour. Using discourses and paradigms drawn from a variety of disciplines, including literary studies, history of medicine, behaviourism and cultural studies, its contributors explore and synthesise the development of “behavioural strategies” and their impact on his poetic manner.Studies of the precise relationship of the poet’s body and mind have often placed Byron within some of our modern psychological and medical frameworks without acknowledging that these “diagnoses” are bound up with the complex business of reading and responding to literature. The topic of ‘temperament’ uniquely allows concurrent discussion of body and mind within the context of Byron’s writing, as well as his life. In this sense, the book is primarily literary. Recent scientific or quasi-scientific theory is utilised and not discounted, but the book insists upon the relevance of literary procedures and evidence, broadly understood, which are not dependent upon it and can contribute to, enlarge, or cast doubts upon some of its claims
The Oxford Handbook of Lord Byron (Ed. Alan Rawes and Jonathon Shears)
No full textThe Oxford Handbook of Lord Byron offers the latest in critical thinking about the poet that defined the Romantic era in English Literature. The volume presents forty-five groundbreaking essays that enable readers to assess Lord Byron’s central position in Romantic traditions and his profound and far-reaching influence on British, European, and world culture. The essays in the volume are organized into five sections – ‘Works’, ‘Biographical Contexts’, ‘Literary and Cultural Contexts’, ‘Afterlives’, and ‘Reading Byron Now’ – that guide readers through the most important issues and frameworks for interpreting Byron. ‘Works’ presents original readings of Byron’s key works and many of his lesser-known ones, giving space for extensive studies of his great epic, Don Juan, and the poem that brought him fame, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. ‘Biographical Contexts’ invites readers to consider Byron’s life through key themes and patterns. ‘Literary and Cultural Contexts’ sets out the most important intellectual traditions from which Byron’s work emerged and in which it developed. ‘Afterlives’ shows readers the extent of Byron’s influence on literature, art, music, and politics in Europe and beyond. ‘Reading Byron Now’ sets out the latest critical agendas that are shaping Byron Studies today. The handbook tackles all of the big themes associated with Byron including the Byronic Hero, poetics, politics, history, cosmopolitanism, liberalism, sexuality, mobility, class, scepticism, the Gothic, celebrity culture, and Byronism. For new readers of Byron, the volume provides an excellent grounding in his life and work, and for specialists it delivers exciting new approaches to an icon of Romantic literature

Monitoring data of key benthic reef species in the Cape Rodney-Okakari Point (Leigh) Marine Reserve and at adjacent fished sites: 1999-2019
No full textThe Cape Rodney-Okakari Point Marine Reserve is New Zealand's oldest no-take marine reserve situated along the Leigh coast (est. 1978; the 'Leigh Marine Reserve' hereafter). Historic information on rocky reef communities in the Leigh Marine Reserve is available from baseline surveys in 1978 (Ayling 1978) and repeated in the 1990s (Babcock et al. 1999). While these provide valuable information on long-term changes in the reserve, they did not include fished reefs outside the reserve that provide a control for the effect of protection. The monitoring program presented here was established in 1999 by N. Shears (University of Auckland) for the New Zealand Department of Conservation and includes four sites inside and four sites outside the Leigh Marine Reserve (Shears and Babcock 2003). At these sites, the reefs are gradually sloping from the intertidal to the reef edge, occurring at ~8–15 m depth. From 1999–2000 the reefs were surveyed in four depth ranges (10 m), but subsequent sampling has focussed on the 4-6 m depth range as this is representative of the depth range where sea urchins (Evechinus chloroticus) are most abundant and can form barren habitat (Shears & Babcock 2003; Shears et al. 2008). This depth range has been sampled sporadically (every 1–3 yr at these sites since 2001; note that only fished sites were surveyed in 2003). The surveys were conducted on SCUBA, and at each site, five 1-m2 quadrats were haphazardly sampled within the 4–6 m depth range. Within each quadrat, the density (the number of individuals per metre square) of sea urchins and all large brown macroalgae were recorded (e.g. Ecklonia radiata, Carpophyllum spp., Cystophora spp. and Sargassum sinclairii). For sea urchins, behaviour was recorded as 'cryptic' (sea urchins found in holes, cracks or crevices) or 'exposed' (sea urchins are out in the open and have a strong impact on macroalgal communities; Spyksma et al. 2017). For all large macroalgae the length of all fronds was measured to the nearest 5 cm using a measuring tape. For E. radiata, measurements were taken for both stipe and total length (i.e. from the top of the holdfast to the meristem and the distal end of the primary lamina, respectively). The percent cover of crustose coralline algae, bare rock, turfing algae (e.g. articulated coralline, red foliose), filamentous algae and sediment was assessed visually in each quadrat. In cases where filamentous algae were recorded as overlaying turf and encrusting algae, such that total cover exceeds 100%, the cover data was standardised to add up to 100%
