Abstract
From the point of view of the British juridical system, The Law and the Lady can be interpreted as a sensation novel whose crucial albeit indirect message must be read in the context of Collins's legal reformism. As well as challenging the Scottish verdict of Not Proven, the heroine of the novel, Valeria Brinton, presents herself as a woman detective who is anxious to prove her husband's innocence before both the court and public opinion. Underlining the peculiarity of her mission is a destabilising tension which, in its social implication, is aimed to challenge the conformism and love of orthodoxy typical of the Victorian ethos. In this sense, Valeria's gendered autobiographical writing, while giving full evidence to her resourceful womanhood, dramatises the blurring of the confine between masculinity and femininity and, at the same time, offers a representation of the old-fashioned and abstruse protocols of British law.

The article discusses the methodological and organizational problems of combining the legal sciences of the anti-criminal cycle into an enlarged specialty 5.1.4. "Criminal Law Sciences". The main risks for the development of sciences within the framework of the combined specialty are predicted. The prospects of overcoming the crisis of these sciences, which became the subject of controversy between V.V. Lunev, V.N. Kudryavtsev, A.V. Naumov, and continues to remain so between a new generation of scientists, are assessed. The difficulties and ambiguity of various options for constructing the hierarchy of criminal law sciences are indicated. The expediency and timeliness of combining the sciences of the anti-criminal cycle is determined in the context of the problem of the unevenness of their development, as well as contradictions between the views of supporters of various concepts of the development of these sciences.

The rule of law is a political ideal today endorsed and promoted worldwide. Or is it? In a significant contribution to the field, Nick Cheesman argues that Myanmar is a country in which the rule of law is 'lexically present but semantically absent'. Charting ideas and practices from British colonial rule through military dictatorship to the present day, Cheesman calls upon political and legal theory to explain how and why institutions animated by a concern for law and order oppose the rule of law. Empirically grounded in both Burmese and English sources, including criminal trial records and wide ranging official documents, Opposing the Rule of Law offers the first significant study of courts in contemporary Myanmar. It sheds new light on the politics of courts during dark times and sharply illuminates the tension between the demand for law and the imperatives of order.

Social theory is a core area in Sociology degrees. This book attempts to lead students through the key thinkers and key ideas. The organizational principle is to focus on theoretical writing which is relevant for understanding the contemporary world. So the book asks what continuing use do theories of the Enligthenment, classical German sociology, Marxism and phenomenology have for making sense of our social world.
