Literary Journalism Goes Inside Prison: Just Sentences opens up a
new exploration of literary journalism – immersive, long-form
journalism so beautifully written that it can stand as literature
– in the first anthology to examine literary journalism and
prison. In this book, a wide range of compelling subjects are
considered. These include Nelson Mandela and other prisoners of
apartheid; the made-in-prison podcast Ear Hustle; women’s
experiences of life behind bars; Behrouz Boochani’s 2018
bestseller No Friend but the Mountains; George Orwell’s artful
writing on incarceration; Pete Earley’s immersion into the
largest prison in the United States, The Hot House; Arthur Koestler
and the Spanish Civil War; Ted Conover’s year as a prison guard
in Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing and (most originally) Bruce
Springsteen’s execution narrative Nebraska. This volume will
benefit anyone who writes, studies or teaches any form of narrative
nonfiction. Eleven international scholars articulate what makes the
work they are analysing so exceptional. At the same time, they
offer insights on a diverse range of vital topics. These include
journalism ethics, journalism and trauma, media history, cultural
studies, criminology and social justice.

The Dante Encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work that presents a systematic introduction to Dante's life and works and the cultural context in which his moral and intellectual imagination took shape. It is the first major source of its kind, and the only such work currently available, in the English language. Until now, much Dante scholarship has been scattered in various sources and not available in English. This book brings together all the most recent theories about Dante and his works and summarizes them in clear and vivid prose for readers who seek basic but detailed information on all major aspects of Dante scholarship.
This book examines the history, theory and journalistic practice of
profile writing. Profiles, and the practice of writing them, are of
increasing interest to scholars of journalism because conflicts
between the interviewer and the subject exemplify the changing
nature of journalism itself. While the subject, often through the
medium of their press representative, struggles to retain control
of the interview space, the journalist seeks to subvert it. This
interesting and multi-layered interaction, however, has rarely been
subject to critical scrutiny, partly because profiles have
traditionally been regarded as public relations exercises or as
'soft' journalism. However, chapters in this volume reveal not only
that profiling has, historically, taken many different forms, but
that the idea of the interview as a contested space has
applications beyond the subject of celebrated individuals. The
volume looks at the profile's historical beginnings, at the
contemporary manufacture of celebrity versus the 'ordinary', at
profiling communities, countries and movements, at profiling the
destitute, at sporting personalities and finally at profiling and
trauma.
