J. Loxley – författare

English literary history has long incorporated the category of ''Cavalier'' verse, and the critical presuppositions that have shaped such a category continue, even now, to determine the ways in which much civil war writing is read. Through a detailed study of both manuscript and printed texts, James Loxley arrives at an account of the interaction between poetry and royalist political activity which for the first time presents a sustained and coherent challenge to such presuppositions.

This book examines the impact of globalization on different countries and regions. Changing patterns of trade, industrialization, debt, aid and other financial flows are analyzed as is the debate about structural adjustment programs. Four recent developments likely to have major implications for North-South relations are identified; efforts to reduce to US deficit; the emergence of regional trading blocs; the implementation of the Uruguay Round of GATT and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Finally, the likely impact on North-South relation of pursuing alternative paradigms to economic growth is examined.
