This book offers a new critique of selfhood in Romantic literature. In the past, Romanticism has been seen as an individualistic movement, with writers believing in the 'centrality' of the self. Challenging this prevailing view of Romanticism and the modern self, this study unveils an alternative tradition of Romantic writing in which the self is fragile, degenerate, non-existent - or in a word, contingent. It combines philosophy, intellectual history, literary studies and digital humanities and takes a transnational approach both in its coverage of philosophical thought and literature, including case studies from England, Ireland, Scotland and colonial Australia, with examples from American and European works as well. The book also uses innovative digital techniques such as text analysis, sentiment mining and network analysis to enrich the exploration of text and context. It covers all major genres of Romantic writing: fiction (realist novels), poetry (the sonnet), non-fiction prose (biography) and drama (gothic tragedy). Providing a new framework for understanding the contingent self, this book is of interest to scholars and students of Romantic literature, philosophy of the self and digital humanities.

This monograph compiles the contemporary knowledge about D-norms and provides an introductory tour through the essentials of multivariate extreme value theory.

In Wissenschaft und Praxis ist die Notwendigkeit zur integrierten Betrachtung von IT-Compliance unbestritten. Es fehlt jedoch der Uberblick uber die Vielzahl der - haufig nur unzureichend konkret formulierten - regulatorischen Anforderungen und der branchenublichen Best-Practices sowie die Methode, diese Anforderungen effizient umzusetzen. Michael Falk untersucht, wie sich existierende Standards und Referenzmodelle als Losungsansatze anbieten konnen und durch uberschneidungsfreie Kombination die Anforderungskonformitat der IT effektiv und effizient unterstutzt werden kann.
