This collection of essays covers the reception of Jeremy Bentham's legal and political thought in a variety of different countries and historical periods. Authors from around the world explore how Bentham's utilitarian program of legal and political reform was disseminated and sometimes distorted in the United States France Germany Japan Russia China Italy Spain and Australia. Themes or issues shared amongst the essays include the prominent role Etienne Dumont's famous redactions of Bentham's texts played in the early international reception of Bentham's thought the ways in which Bentham's theories of law and government both succeeded and failed to penetrate political cultures that possessed natural law leanings and relatedly the apparent philosophical plasticity of Bentham's thinking from which both liberal and authoritarian traditions have tried to profit. Together the essays offer a fresh perspective on the relationship between Bentham's legal and political thought and the global history of utilitarianism.

2019ref. 133470New Castle Delaware: Oak Knoll Press 2019. hardcover dust jacket. 7.125 x 9.25 inches. hardcover dust jacket. 216 pages. "This new study offers an insight into his work the personality that drove his long career and the fascinating highly-charged social and political backgrounds against which that career was played out." - William Morris Society Magazine Spring 2020 "Correspondence forms forms the backbone of Loxley's recent book Emery Walker: Arts crafts and a world in motion and builds a picture of Walker and the world he lived in." - Hugh Hobbs Lecture Review The William Morris Society Magazine Spring 2021 "Simon Loxley invites the reader to get to know Emery Walker through letters to and from family and friends political comrades artists poets authors and fellow businessmen. In full colour and illustrated with photos and other reproductions on nearly every page the book represents an accessible account of the short-lived but vibrant private press era of Emery Walker and its social and political context." - David Farey Forum: the Journal of Letter Exchange ".as Simon Loxley says Walker himself seems submerged in the catalogue of his achievements. Loxley's aim is to rediscover the man as well as to situate him in the political and cultural world he inhabited. Loxley is responsible for the visual style of the Hammersmith Terrace houses publicity as well as the design of his revealing and well-illustrated book on its previous owner." - Sebastian Carter Journal of the Printing Historical Society This book is an attempt to give a comprehensive sense of Emery Walker as a person along with his career and achievements in part through correspondence with important people in his life. The letters are accompanied by brief biographies of the correspondents and essays that examine some of the key stages and achievements of Walker's career. Walker was a key figure in the world of design typography and printing in the teaching and dissemination of those crafts and in the cultural landscape of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain. But the effects of his contributions also spread to the United States and mainland Europe and the ripple of their influence helped determine the design ethos of the twentieth century and beyond. He was called the "Universal Samaritan" his help and advice likened to a vital amenity like water and free of charge. In spite of his enormous influence Walker himself has largely remained in the shadows low-key even in the most notorious dispute in typographic history over the rights to the Doves Press type-the pronouncements and self-justifications of his former partner Thomas Cobden-Sanderson dominated the affair. Simon Loxley's category-defying and highly accessible curation of Walker's life presents him in all his dimensions. His creative and inspirational career is highlighted in separate features: the Kelmscott Press the Doves Press the Ashendene and Cranach Presses and his collaborations with Bruce Rogers: the short-lived Mall Press and the aesthetic triumph of The Odyssey of Homer. His contributions to the design and use of two Greek typeface designs Selwyn Image's Macmillan Greek and Robert Proctor's Otter Type are also examined. Interwoven with these is a selection of 143 letters spanning 60 years most never previously published that gives us a picture of Walker the man in both his professional and personal life. He seemed to "know everyone" and short biographies of the principal correspondents help contextualize the letters. The result is a fascinating picture of Emery Walker his family and friends the people he knew and the times he lived in: times of aesthetic vision social revolution dreamed and actual and world war culminating in a symbolic poignant valediction to Arts and Crafts as the shadow of another conflict loomed. The texts are accompanied by over 140 images many of them once again never before published. Simon Loxley is a graphic designer and a writer on design typography and design history. In addition to this book he is the author of Type is Beautiful: The Story of Fifty Remarkable Fonts Bodleian Library 2016 Printers Devil: The Life and Work of Frederic Warde Godine 2013 and Type: The Secret History of Letters I.B. Tauris 2004. He designed the Emery Walker's House logo and he designed and edited 2006-2016 Ultrabold the Journal of St. Bride Library. He is also the designer of this book.
