No references found | Peschel quotes an early source, Charles Ancillon's 1707 Traite des eunuques, or Eunuchism Display'd (anonymous 1718 English translation), on the new sound of music (23). When the false eunuch is said to bear a facies liberalis, the "well-favoured" look of a free man, Terence is not only pointing out the imposter's citizen status but also juxtaposing the two slave characters in terms of freedom versus fixity, one's unmarked pallor and unverifiable eunuchism versus the other's evident and immutable blackness. Beth suggested in 1967 that despite legal realist criticism, in the last two hundred years the common law tradition had increasingly encouraged a reluctance to engage in creative jurisprudence which amounted to "judicial eunuchism. |
