An Approach To Political Philosophy: Locke In Contexts brings together Professor Tully's most important and innovative statements on Locke in a treatment of the latter's thought that is at once contextual and critical. The essays have been rewritten and expanded for this volume, and each seeks to understand a theme of Locke's political philosophy by interpreting it in light of the complex contexts of early modern European political thought and practice. These historical studies are then used in a variety of ways to gain critical perspectives on the assumptions underlying current debates in political philosophy and the history of political thought. The themes treated include government, toleration, discipline, property, aboriginal rights, individualism, power, labor, self-ownership, community, progress, liberty, participation, and revolution.

Das Leben der Schwestern Charlotte, Emily und Anne Brontë, zusammen mit ihrem Vater und ihrem Bruder Branwell, war von Geheimnissen geprägt. Inmitten der einsamen Yorkshire-Moore verfassten sie leidenschaftliche Romane wie „Jane Eyre“ und „Wuthering Heights“, obwohl sie ein zurückgezogenes Leben führten. Während einige Briefe und Dokumente erhalten sind, werfen diese bei genauer Betrachtung Fragen auf. Warum starb Emily, die stets gesund war, plötzlich an Schwindsucht? Warum wurde Anne nach ihrem unerwarteten Tod hastig beerdigt? Und was geschah mit Charlotte, die die Ehe mit dem attraktiven Hilfspfarrer Arthur Nicholls nicht lange überlebte? Ein überraschender Fund in einer alten Anwaltskanzlei in Yorkshire, das Tagebuch der Brontë-Haushälterin Martha, könnte Antworten liefern. Der Familienanwalt deckt mit Hilfe dieses Tagebuchs und der vorhandenen Dokumente schockierende Geheimnisse über Sex und Verbrechen im Pfarrhaus auf. Diese schaurige Geschichte verbindet Schwangerschaft und Serienmord und bietet Brontë-Fans eine humorvolle Perspektive auf das Leben dieser berühmten viktorianischen Familie.
