STONE, R., Morality and Masculinity in the Carolingian Empire: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2011. 420p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series, 81. What did it mean to be a Frankish nobleman in an age of reform? How could Carolingian lay nobles maintain their masculinity and their social position, while adhering to new and stricter moral demands by reformers concerning behaviour in war, sexual conduct and the correct use of power? This book explores the complex interaction between Christian moral ideals and social realities, and between religious reformers and the lay political elite they addressed. It uses the numerous texts addressed to a lay audience (including lay mirrors, secular poetry, political polemic, historical writings and legislation) to examine how biblical and patristic moral ideas were reshaped to become compatible with the realities of noble life in the Carolingian empire. This innovative analysis of Carolingian moral norms demonstrates how gender interacted with political and religious thought to create a distinctive Frankish elite culture, presenting a new picture of early medieval masculinity.

STOPES, C. C., The Bacon–Shakspere Question Answered: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2010. 294p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Library Collection - Literary Studies. Charlotte Carmichael Stopes (1840–1829) is best known as the mother of birth control advocate Marie Stopes. Like her daughter, Stopes forged the way for women seeking academic careers: she was the first woman in Scotland to graduate from university, and was later elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. In this monograph Stopes resolves to settle once and for all whether or not Francis Bacon wrote the plays attributed to William Shakespeare, concluding that the Baconian theory is wholly without foundation. Over nearly 300 pages of erudite argument, Stopes examines the numerous distinctions between the lives and experiences of the two writers, their differing styles of writing, and the evidence provided by Shakespeare's contemporaries. Stopes' book also includes extensive appendices providing background information on Shakespeare and the early modern theatre.

STOREY, I. C., Eupolis, Poet of Old Comedy. Oxford University Press, 2003. 456p. Hardback. I would confidently hazard that this is going to be one of the most influential recent books on Old Comedy, and that it will have a profound effect on the study of Aristophanes and the genre over the next 25 years. What is more, the book is extremely accessible and well-crafted, and it can be thoroughly enjoyed and fully utilised even by those without an addiction to Attic Old Comedy fragments.

STOREY, M., Time and Antiquity in American Empire. Roma Redux. Oxford University Press, 2021. 270p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Studies in American Literary History. Time and Antiquity in American Empire is a fascinating inquiry into the multiple -- and often unexpected -- ways in which Roman analogies are germane to US imperial discourse. It is undoubtedly a major intervention in the political history of classical models, and it makes a compelling contribution to our understanding of transatlantic historical time.
