Challenging the traditional view of Romanticism as an individualistic movement, this book explores an alternative perspective where the self is portrayed as fragile and contingent. It integrates philosophy, intellectual history, and literary studies with a transnational approach, covering works from England, Ireland, Scotland, colonial Australia, and beyond. Utilizing innovative digital techniques like sentiment mining and network analysis, it examines various genres, including fiction, poetry, and drama, offering a fresh framework for understanding the concept of self in Romantic literature.

The book compiles contemporary knowledge on a specific subject, offering a comprehensive overview of recent research and developments. It presents insights from various experts, highlighting key findings, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks. The work aims to serve as a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners, providing a thorough understanding of the topic and its implications in the field. Through its detailed analysis, the monograph contributes to advancing knowledge and fostering further inquiry.

Since the publication of the first edition of this seminar book, the theory and applications of extremes and rare events have seen increasing interest. Laws of Small Numbers gives a mathematically oriented development of the theory of rare events underlying various applications. The new edition incorporates numerous new results on about 130 additional pages. Part II, added in the second edition, discusses recent developments in multivariate extreme value theory.

Commonly there is no natural place in a traditional curriculum for mathematics or statistics, where a bridge between theory and practice fits into. On the other hand, the demand for an education designed to supplement theoretical training by practial experience has been rapidly increasing. There exists, consequently, a bit of a dichotomy between theoretical and applied statistics, and this book tries to straddle that gap. It links up the theory of a selection of statistical procedures used in general practice with their application to real world data sets using the statistical software package SAS (Statistical Analysis System). These applications are intended to illustrate the theory and to provide, simultaneously, the ability to use the knowledge effectively and readily in execution.
