They act parts. If you see that, then part of you has a certain degree of freedom.” Email Address* This is how Nicholas Mosley, in an interview in the Independent with D. J. Taylor (who saw Mosley as “a novelist who is about as unfashionable as it is possible to be”), summed up his long literary career. His critics, both those who admire and those who dislike his work, almost unanimously agree that the “unpopularity” of Mosley in England lies precisely in his endeavor to First Name dramatize an “Idea.” The position of Mosley in contemporary British fiction is well observed by John Naughton in the Listener: Given that the British are inclined to regard abstract theorizing on the human condition as a kind of disease, Mr. Mosley had Last Name better resign himself to charges of pretentiousness—an intellectual vice which is tolerated in foreigners but abhorred in natives. Mr. John Berger has had to live with such criticism in his time—which is perhaps why he now lives happily in the Alps. Address or Location* In England the tag “novel of ideas” is often associated with “unreadability.” “Novel of ideas” is seen as a novel in which ideas, instead of the protagonists, are the “real” characters; thus they are considered uninteresting and inaccessible.

Freedom of expression: Mosley case Relatore: Prof. Maurizio Mensi Candidato: Matilde Beccatti Matricola 064242 Anno accademico 2011/2012 INDEX 1. Introduction 2. The right to privacy • The Italian right to privacy • The English right to privacy 3. The European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms • Article 10 • Article 8 4. Case study: Max Mosley privacy case • Celebrity gossip and public interest • The importance of the Mosley case in the English privacy law 5. Conclusion RIGHT TO PRIVACY V. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION: MOSLEY CASE 1. Introduction “… An ‘intense focus’ is necessary upon the comparative importance of the specific rights being claimed in the individual case…” 1. This statement was made during the Mosley v. News Group Newspaper Limited judgment by David Eady, also known as Mr. Justice Eady, an High Court judge in England and Wales notable for having presided over many high- profile libel and privacy cases. In that occasion, once again great attention has been given to the issue of balancing “the competing interests of privacy and of freedom of expression”2. This topic has always been really controversial. After the recognition of the right to privacy, “the normative panorama of the journalistic activity”3 has been completely renewed. Journalists have started paying more attention to the respect of personal dignity of the people involved in their news and it’s also possible to find a more diffuse sensitivity about privacy, a term that in certain society has even became hackneyed. Citizens are now more aware of their rights and this is clearly visible by the higher number of legal cases that fill our tribunals as well as our newspapers today.

Janes Title: British Fascism in the 1930’s in Life and Literature Advisor: Eleanor McNees Degree Date: June 2015 ABSTRACT Political and economic turmoil in 1930s Britain gave rise to a home-grown fascist movement led by the controversial Oswald Mosley. Literature of this period by Joseph O’Neill and Rex Warner mirrored the internal nature of the British fascist movement by depicting fascist-like societies embedded under or entrenched within the English countryside. Their metaphors of fascism rising as a solution to fear and disorder conjure the threat of fascism that was rising in Europe in that period.
