The integral presented in this paper is due to the work of Ralph Henstock and Jaroslav Kurzweil. Riemann's definition is often the first integral to be introduced in undergraduate studies, while Lebesgue's integral is more powerful but also more complicated and its methods are often postponed until graduate or advanced undergraduate studies. The theory of integration has gone through many changes in the past centuries and, in particular, there has been a tension between the Riemann and the Lebesgue approach to integration. As she writes in the preface to Shakespeare and the Loss of Eden, "The proposition that family values emerged at a specific moment in the history of Western culture represents a refusal to accept the inevitability of certain norms" (xiv): Here, as in the earlier book, Belsey's interest in her subject is more than academic. Moving from love stories to stories about marriage and family relationships, Shakespeare and the Loss of Eden continues Belsey's Lacanian exploration of the problematics of desire and signification, now focusing her historical sights on Shakespeare's England and the conflicted origins of modern family values. Catherine Belsey's new book might be read as a sequel to Desire: Love Stories in Western Culture (1994), where she pursued the elusive logic of desire in a variety of texts ranging from medieval chivalric romance to contemporary psychoanalytic theory and popular fiction.
