Number 5 Original Articles: Constructing the Old English Solomon and Saturn Dialogues（483）Heide Estes 【Abstract：Editors have constructed the first Solomon and Saturn Dialogue as consisting of three different texts: a more or less complete poem, a prose “fragment” inserted into the manuscript and another poem with significant losses due to manuscript damage. In this paper, I argue that we should read these fragments as a single, generically varied, composition. By analogy with individual works such as the Old Norse wisdom poems, charms and Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy, as well as with the many manuscripts that merge verse and prose, we can read the verse, prose and verse of the first twelve pages of Cambridge, Corpus Christi College manuscript 422 as a scribally if not authorially single work combining both genres. This leaves us with a single integrated work in which Saturn approaches Solomon with a request for help with wisdom; in response, Solomon provides Saturn with various descriptions of the Pater Noster and its powers in mystical and spiritual terms.】 Initial Position in the Middle English Verse Line（500）Jacob Thaisen 【Abstract：This paper establishes that spelling forms collected from initial position in the Middle English verse line have unique characteristics, and it discusses why this is so. The paper first addresses scribal copying practices, before describing the utility of letter-based n-gram models in objectively comparing scribal copies in terms of their spelling. Testing of models trained on a corpus totalling ten manuscripts demonstrates that initial position regularly prompted scribes to suppress their tendency to introduce their own spelling forms in favour of replicating those encountered in their exemplars. The discussion attributes this behaviour to the operation of two mechanisms. One mechanism is psycholinguistic in origin, while the other is rooted in manuscripts' production and so implies a codicological dimension to spelling variation.】 Henry James's Fluid Texts of the 1890s: The Other House as a Transgeneric Case Study（514）José Antonio Álvarez-Amorós 【Abstract：In the 1890s, and following his involvement with theatre, Henry James conceived and executed a series of works whose original ideas, he argued, were equally good for narratives as for plays. Though discussed in dramatic terms in his notebooks, some of these ideas were novelized directly and became The Spoils of Poynton (1896), What Maisie Knew (1897) and The Awkward Age (1898–99). Others, however, fluctuated between narrative and drama for more than a decade in such a way that critics have seen them as experimental milestones leading to a new novel. This paper seeks to question this benevolent view with concrete reference to The Other House, contributing evidence, both textual and contextual, towards a more realistic and pragmatic assessment of James's genre-switching strategies in the late 1890s.】 “Suicidal Mania” and Flawed Psychobiography: Two Discussions of Virginia Woolf（538）Martin Ferguson Smith 【Abstract：The first discussion concerns Virginia Woolf's attempted suicide in September 1913 and her recuperation from the attack of mental illness that provoked it. The main focus is on the interest and advice of Roger Fry, who was closely involved with Virginia's sister, Vanessa Bell, and whose wife, the artist Helen Fry, had a long history of mental illness that invites comparison and contrast with that of Virginia. When Virginia was convalescing, and a new nurse was required for her, Roger approached the medical superintendent of the hospital in which Helen was a patient. The letters exchanged between the two are made known for the first time. The second discussion concerns Virginia's and Leonard Woolf's visit to Greece with Roger and his sister Margery Fry in 1932, and specifically a photograph taken while the party was in Athens. The recent contention of Maggie Humm that the common error of identifying the location as the Acropolis originated with Virginia, and that her alleged misidentification is psychobiographically significant, is refuted.】 “Struggle Though I May … ”: A Note on the Inverted Though Concessive Construction in English（557）Carla Vergaro 【Abstract：This paper reports the results of a usage, corpus-based study of the inverted though concessive construction in English. The inverted though concessive construction has received scant attention both in grammar and in linguistic analysis. Framed in a Construction Grammar as well as emergentist-based approach, the present study focuses on the description as well as distribution of this type of concessive construction in the Corpus of Contemporary American English. More precisely, it investigates the position of the construction within the concessive sentence, which constituents are attracted to the slots in the construction, which lexemes are attracted to each slot of the construction and the distribution of the construction across registers. The aim of the study is to check (i) (and eventually increase) the adequacy of grammatical descriptions, (ii) the degree to which the slots in the construction are restricted to specific constituents and (iii) whether any patterns seem to emerge both at the syntactic and lexical level.】 Reviews: English Law Before Magna Carta: Felix Liebermann and Die Gesetze der Angelsachsen（577）Bryan Carella The Cambridge Companion to Medieval English Culture（578）Geert van Iersel The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and Contemporary Dramatists（580）Mette Sjölin Thomas Middleton in Context; The Oxford Handbook of Thomas Middleton（582）Paul Dean The Mother's Legacy in Early Modern England（584）Erzsi Kukorelly Ridicule, Religion and the Politics of Wit in Augustan England（585）Jane Mattisson Becoming Dickens: The Invention of a Novelist（587）Valerie Kennedy Charles Dickens's Networks: Public Transport and the Novel（588）Valerie Kennedy Modernist Short Fiction by Women.

Number 6 Original Articles: Langland's Allegorical Modernity（597）Jason Crawford 【Abstract：This essay explores the peculiar allegorical grammar of Piers Plowman in light of the larger question of the poem's modernity. William Langland wrote his great poem at the end of the fourteenth century, at a moment when the forms and institutions of medieval culture were suffering violent rupture. One of his tools for addressing the force of that rupture is allegory, which belongs to the medieval regime but which Langland fashions as the articulation of an alternative modernity. In his hands, the personified agents of allegory express modern anxieties and possibilities, and not because they have departed from their old lives as numinous presences into new life as mere abstractions or social types. They register, rather, the abiding power of the old presences, and they translate those presences into new forms, peculiarly modern forms, as the unstable residues of the incarnate divine in a disenchanted world.】 Distemper, Scourge, Invader: Discourse and Plague in Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year（620）Geoffrey Payne 【Abstract：This article analyzes the unsettling role given to plague in the representational practices of Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year (1722). It focuses on how Defoe's combination of discursive frames provides a model for interpreting and understanding his complex world-view. I suggest that, by scrutinizing the mixture of discourses employed to represent plague and its effects, especially those drawn from the fields of natural philosophy, politics and theology, scholars can newly appreciate Defoe's view of the position of the human in a total world economy. By analyzing how plague orders and disturbs notions of the human within those different fields, and how it bridges the divisions among them, I propose that we are able to better understand Defoe's systemic vision of the world.】 Christian Ethics in Wuthering Heights（637）Marianne Thormählen 【Abstract：Even the first reviewers of Emily Brontë's novel thought it lacked a moral, and literary critics have struggled to find an ethical dimension in it. Many of them have concluded that the book is “amoral” and that it constitutes a world of its own to which no extraneous rationale can be applied. This article maintains that there is in fact a moral to Brontë's story, and that that moral is consistent with the ethical teachings of Christianity. When the actions of characters and the outcomes of their individual life stories are examined, it turns out that whatever lasting happiness any one of them experiences is the outcome of loving-kindness that is, patient and forgiving, in accordance with 1 Cor. 13:4–7. The concluding section of the article looks at the reasons for the inability of generations of readers and critics to perceive this ethical pattern. Finally, the significance of Heathcliff's strange way of dying is seen in relation to the loss of his desire for revenge.】 “A Love-Hate Relationship”: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Money Management and “The Diamond as Big as the Ritz”（654）Laura E. B. Key 【Abstract：F. Scott Fitzgerald was notoriously inept with regard to managing his vast income at the height of his literary success, leading a hedonistic lifestyle and spending faster than he could earn. This paper seeks to understand Fitzgerald's inability to control money and his compulsion to record his attitudes towards money through an analysis of his personal papers and his fiction and non-fiction writings. Fitzgerald's obsession with money is contextualised here within the US economy of the 1920s, in which the rise of new credit facilities led to a social conflict between the imperatives of saving and spending, a problem which Fitzgerald's fiction confronts, as evidenced by a close reading of his 1922 short story, “The Diamond as Big as the Ritz”. In this light, both the plot and the fragmented structure of the story are interpreted as symptomatic of an irresolvable conflict between past and future, metaphorised by the symbol of money, which had acquired the contradictory characteristics of stability and instability, potential and fear in 1920s American society.】 The Naturalisation Process of the Japanese Loanwords Found in the Oxford English Dictionary（674）Schun Doi 【Abstract：Using data obtained mainly from the Oxford English Dictionary (2nd ed. on CD-ROM, ver. 3.0, 2002), the process in which Japanese loanwords are incorporated into the English lexicon was reviewed. The process has been theorised in terms of a scale which begins with totally foreign at one end and finishes with fully incorporated/native at the other. Naturalisation is viewed as a matter of degree in which all the words in English can theoretically be assigned to a point on this scale. Still, it has been observed that the loanwords studied follow a specific trajectory of naturalisation, with three loosely set stages. In the initial stage, words are paraphrased by easily recognisable words or phrases to guarantee that the foreign words employed are understood. Then, attributive usages appear as a transitional phase towards the more productive stage. To finish the naturalisation process, the loanwords acquire greater productivity and in due course achieve the fully incorporated status.】 Obituaries: In Memoriam Kristian Smidt (1916–2013)（700）Bjørn Tysdahl, Leiv Egil Breivik and Jakob Lothe Reviews: The Material Culture of Daily Living in the Anglo-Saxon World（702）Denis Ferhatović From Castle Rackrent to Castle Dracula: Anglo-Irish Agrarian Fiction in the Nineteenth Century（703）Lindsay Janssen Joseph Conrad and the Swan Song of Romance（705）Jane Mattisson Kate O'Brien and the Fiction of Identity: Sex, Art and Politics in Mary Lavelle and Other Writings（706）Margaret O'Neill States of Exception in the Contemporary Novel: Martel, Eugenides, Coetzee, Sebald（708）Michael Mack English Phonetics and Phonology: An Introduction (Second Edition)（709）Bert Botma A Companion to Poetic Genre（711）Neil Corcoran
