According to Villiers, the spider "was popular with the Romans, who had a favourite mascot in the shape of a precious stone upon which a spider was engraved.
Villiers noted that in France during the 1920s, "the sight of a spider in the house is not fortunate in the forenoon, but if you see it in the afternoon, you may certainly expect a present, the value of the gift increasing according to the lateness of the hour.
Elizabeth Villiers wrote, "The idea that to kill a spider will bring bad luck is common still, and most housewives, while destroying the web, will carefully lift the spider and put it out of doors.

 MELUS: Introduction: law, literature, and ethnic subjects - Critical Essay
Drawing on Elizabeth Villiers Gemmette's 1987 empirical survey of law and literature courses in thirty-eight law schools, the authors argued that the study of literature in law schools assumes "that if not totally absent, women are the other, the object of the male gaze, the subject of the discussion, not the speaker" (1914).
(1) In her follow-up survey, conducted in 1993, Elizabeth Villiers Gemette says, "The most notable changes from the titles in the earlier survey relate to courses dealing exclusively with women and the law, none of which were reported in the earlier survey." ("Joining the Class Action" 665).
At least two collections of essays on the law and literature movement from feminist perspectives were also published in the nineties and issues of gender have become important loci of scholarly debate in the field.
