In this new study, Donna B. Hamilton offers a major revisionist
reading of the works of Anthony Munday, one of the most prolific
authors of his time, who wrote and translated in many genres,
including polemical religious and political tracts, poetry,
chivalric romances, history of Britain, history of London, drama,
and city entertainments. Long dismissed as a hack who wrote only
for money, Munday is here restored to his rightful position as an
historical figure at the centre of many important political and
cultural events in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. In
Anthony Munday and the Catholics, 1560-1633, Hamilton reinterprets
Munday as a writer who began his career writing on behalf of the
Catholic cause and subsequently negotiated for several decades the
difficult terrain of an ever-changing Catholic-Protestant cultural,
religious, and political landscape. She argues that throughout his
life and writing career Munday retained his Catholic sensibility
and occasionally wrote dangerously on behalf of Catholics. Thus he
serves as an excellent case study through which present-day
scholars can come to a fuller understanding of how a person living
in this turbulent time in English history - eschewing open
resistance, exile or martyrdom - managed a long and prolific
writing career at the centre of court, theatre, and city activities
but in ways that reveal his commitment to Catholic political and
religious ideology. Individual chapters in this book cover Munday's
early writing, 1577-80; his writing about the trial and execution
of Jesuit Edmund Campion; his writing for the stage, 1590-1602; his
politically inflected translations of chivalric romance; and his
writings for and about the city of London, 1604-33. Hamilton
revisits and revalues the narratives told by earlier scholars about
hack writers, the anti-theatrical tracts, the role of the Earl of
Oxford as patron, the political-religious interests of Munday's
plays, the implications of Mu
This book treats aspects of the syntax of Halkomelem, a Salish
language spoken in southwestern British Columbia, specifically
those constructions which involve objects, and seeks to accomplish
two goals. First, it provides natural language fodder for the
debate concerning the nature of grammatical relations and their
place in syntactic theory. Second, by showing that Halkomelem draws
from a familiar class of universal constructions and organizes its
syntax around some simple and common parameters, the author has
brought the Salish languages, which due to their phonological and
morphological complexity seemed particularly fearsome, into
cross-linguistic perspective.
This collection of essays by historians and literary scholars
treats English history and culture from the Henrician Reformation
to the Glorious Revolution as a single coherent period in which
religion is a dominant element in political and cultural life. It
seeks to explore the centrality of the religion-politics nexus for
this whole period through examining a wide variety of literary and
non-literary texts, from plays and poems to devotional treatises,
political treatises and histories. It breaks down normal
distinctions between Tudor and Stuart, pre- and post-Restoration
periods to reveal a coherent (though not all serene and untroubled)
post-Reformation culture struggling with major issues of belief,
practice, and authority.

The treatment described in this Therapist Guide is specifically
designed for adolescents with panic disorder and agoraphobia. Panic
disorder often first appears in adolescence, making effective
treatment for this age group a priority. Left untreated, panic
disorder can severely impair an adolescent's development and
functioning. It can put an adolescent at risk for depression and
have consequences into adulthood. The program was developed at the
Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University and
targets patients ages 12-17. It is comprised of 12 sessions to be
delivered over an 11-week period. Adolescents learn about the
nature of panic and anxiety and how to challenge their panic
thoughts. Exposure sessions help them face their fears and stop
avoiding situations that cause heightened anxiety. An adaptation
chapter addresses how to modify the program for intensive(8
day)treatment, as well as how to tailor the treatment to different
ages. Each session includes an optional parent component and an
appendix provides handouts for parents. The corresponding workbook
is specifically designed for adolescent use, with easy to
understand explanations and teen-friendly forms.
