What we now call "Judaism" is the religion of the rabbis; it is rooted in scripture-the Hebrew Scriptures-but it is not to be identified with Old Testament theology. Judaism in its many manifestations has continued to evolve, rereading its ancient texts and extracting new meaning, while addressing contemporary issues such as the status of women and attitudes to sexual orientation. History, or rather our perception of it, has changed substantially. Previously unknown documents and artefacts have surfaced, while scholars have proposed far-reaching changes to the way we read and evaluate ancient texts. Nowadays, we have a more nuanced understanding of how to evaluate statements in the Talmud and other rabbinic writings, and we are better able to contextualize them not only in Greco-Roman antiquity but also in the Sasanian environment in which the Babylonian Talmud was formed. Historical Dictionary of Judaism, Fourth Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 800 cross-referenced entries on on important personalities in Jewish religious history, including biblical personalities with an emphasis on how they are understood in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Judaism.

A former British colony, The Gambia became independent in 1965 and has had only three presidents since then. While The Gambia remained a very poor country under its first prime minister and then president (from 1970), Sir Dawda Jawara, democratic institutions survived, multi-party elections were free and fair, and the country's human rights record was excellent. In contrast, there were seriously flawed elections and extensive human rights abuses under first the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council and then President Yahya Jammeh. Since Adama Barrow became president in 2017, democratic rule and fair elections have been restored, although many challenges remain; for example, the 2020 Constitution has still not been implemented. This book examines all aspects of recorded Gambian history from the 15th century, when the first European expeditions arrived, to the present. Historical Dictionary of The Gambia, Sixth Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country's politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about The Gambia.

Additional information boxes enhance understanding by providing context-specific examples and understudied aspects.

Dialogue is at the heart of Shakespeare's plays, and when his characters exchange words, they create social communities. This book is the first to present, explore and compare those verbal communities in all of Shakespeare plays using computational social network analysis. Part of The Arden Encyclopaedia of Shakespeare's Language series, with volumes exploring how Shakespeare uses words to create meaning and shape characters, themes and genres, Volume 4: Character Networks presents another aspect of what Shakespeare's words do: create social worlds. The book illustrates how alliances or missed encounters can shape characters and plot; it explores gender, social and geographic differences in the plays' communities, and alerts readers to the function of minor characters - who often go unnoticed in criticism. Above all, it shows that what matters in Shakespeare's plays is not only the words characters speak, but also the company they keep. For each of Shakespeare's plays, the book includes information about the size and density of each play's character network as well as providing a visual network representation. Readers will also find a table for each play with scores that measure the centrality of all characters in terms of the importance, strength and number of their social ties. In addition, an accessible commentary on each play highlights salient features of the network data and explains what it means for our understanding of the play. A final chapter explores the broader patterns in Shakespeare's works by comparing the networks.

The Arden Encyclopedia of Shakespeare's Language is the first comprehensive account of Shakespeare's language to use computational methods derived from corpus linguistics - methods of choice for today's historical linguist. This third volume focuses on keywords in Shakespeare's plays. Play keywords are derived by conducting a statistical comparison between the words in one play with those in all the other plays. For characters, the statistical comparison is made between the vocabulary of one character and that of all the other characters in the same play. These keywords are then used to create 'linguistic profiles' of each play and main character. The profiles show how patterns of words around keywords contribute to themes in plays and characterization of the protagonists. For example, we reveal how the simple word 'Goodnight' contributes to dramatic tension in Julius Caesar, or how in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's most distinctive yet apparently innocuous words, 'if', 'yet' and 'but', create an important aspect of her character.
