"A beautiful, gentle, rhyming exploration of grief and mourning." -
Joe Coelho, Waterstones Children's Laureate The Hare-Shaped Hole is
a beautiful, touching, and poignant picture book which gently
explores themes of grief and loss. Hertle and Bertle were always a
pair, though one was a turtle and one was a hare. They were utterly
buddies, and best friends forever and whenever you looked, you
would find them together... until quite unexpectedly... the end
came. When Hertle disappears for good, Bertle can only see a
Hertle-shaped hole where his friend should be. He pleads with it,
get angry with it, but the hole still won't bring his Hertle back.
It seems like hope is lost... until Gerda the kindly bear finds
him. She explains that he must fill the hole with his memories of
Hertle. And slowly... Bertle begins to feel a little bit better.
Powerful and moving text from children's author and poet John
Dougherty is paired perfectly with warm illustrations from the
wonderfully talented Thomas Docherty in a thoughtful and sensitive
approach to this difficult topic. This moving picture book can be
used as part of a gentle conversation about death and grief with
children.

Mood is a phenomenon whose study is inherently interdisciplinary.
While it has remained resistant to theorisation, it nonetheless has
a substantial influence on art, politics and society. Since its
practical omnipresence in every-day life renders it one of the most
significant aspects of affect studies, it has garnered an
increasing amount of critical attention in a number of disciplines
across the humanities, sciences and social sciences in the past two
decades. Mood: Interdisciplinary Perspectives, New Theories
provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical exploration of
the phenomenon of mood from an interdisciplinary angle. Building on
cutting-edge research in this emerging field and bringing together
established and new voices, it bridges the existing disciplinary
gap in the study of mood and further consolidates this phenomenon
as a crucial concept in disciplinary and interdisciplinary study.
By combining perspectives and concepts from the literary studies,
philosophy, musicology, the social sciences, artistic practice and
psychology, the volume does the complexity and richness of
mood-related phenomena justice and benefits from the latent
connections and synergies in different disciplinary approaches to
the study of mood.

in the most built-up environment, and that with a bit of

Contemporary criticism of Donne has tended to ignore the historical
culture and ideology that conditioned his writings, reinforcing the
traditionally accepted model of the poet as a humanist of ethical,
cultural and political individualism. In this title, first
published in 1986, Thomas Docherty challenges this with a more
rigorously theoretical reading of Donne, particularly in relation
to the specific culture of the late Renaissance in Europe. Docherty
locates Donne's poetry at the crux of the various scientific,
legal, domestic and rhetorical discourses that surrounded and
informed it. With a broadly post-structuralist approach, this
reissue will benefit literature students with an interest in the
wider study and context of John Donne's work.

This reader provides a selection of articles and essays by leading
figures in the postmodernism debate.
This book deals with the arguments over postmodernism. Going beyond
the post-structuralist controversy in its interdisciplinary scope,
postmodernism questions the fundamental civil, political, ethical
and cultural criteria which make criticism and theory available,
legitimate, or, indeed, impossible. Yet since the key texts are
widely scattered, the broad range of arguments remain relatively
unknown.
From the author/illustrator team behind The Snatchabook comes a
book-filled adventure on the high seas! Nell is finally a pirate!
And she has her trusty Pirate's Almanac to help her sail the seas,
even if Captain Gnash doesn't like books on his ship. But when the
journey gets rough and the captain is in trouble, it's Nell and all
her pirate knowledge that saves the day and leads them to the

A magical celebration of friendship – and the perfect bedtime story for
every child who dreams of a horse of their own!
Once there was a horse … that jumped.
It jumped over a flower.
It jumped over a rock.
It jumped right over a fence … and out into the world. Jumping through
country and town, the horse meets a girl, and together they keep on
jumping: over waves and mountains, over clouds, the sun and the moon …
into a world of stars and dreams.
To be or not to be free, that is the question, the English
question, the question of what is academic English at the beginning
of the 21st century. So argues Thomas Docherty in this new and
important new study, a study that begins with the claim that the
fundamental idea governing the institution of the University is a
will to freedom. Tracing a history of the modern European
University from Vico onwards and including Hume, Rousseau,
Schiller, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Newman, Alain, Benda and Jaspers,
the author argues the academy's will to freedom is grounded in
study of the 'eloquence' that has shaped literate and humane
values. He goes on to explore the current condition of English as a
literary discipline, arguing that literary studies is (or should
be) a search for the unknown; and that in only that search can the
academy establish the real meaning -- or meanings -- of social,
political and ethical freedom.
