This first critical collection on Delarivier Manley revisits the
most heated discussions, adds new perspectives in light of growing
awareness of Manley's multifaceted contributions to
eighteenth-century literature, and demonstrates the wide range of
thinking about her literary production and significance. While
contributors reconsider some well-known texts through her generic
intertextuality or unresolved political moments, the volume focuses
more on those works that have had less attention: dramas,
correspondence, journalistic endeavors, and late prose fiction. The
methodological approaches incorporate traditional investigations of
Manley, such as historical research, gender theory, and comparative
close readings, as well as some recently influential theories, like
geocriticism and affect studies. This book forges new paths in the
many underdeveloped directions in Manley scholarship, including her
work's exploration of foreign locales, the power dynamics between
individuals and in relation to states, sexuality beyond
heteronormativity, and the shifting operations and influences of
genre. While it draws on previous writing about Manley's engagement
with Whig/Tory politics, gender, and queerness, it also argues for
Manley's contributions as a writer with wide-ranging knowledge of
both the inner sanctums of London and the outer developing British
Empire, an astute reader of politics, a sophisticated explorer of
emotional and gender dynamics, and a flexible and clever stylist.
In contrast to the many ways Manley has been too easily dismissed,
this collection carefully considers many points of view, and opens
the way for new analyses of Manley's life, work, and vital
contributions to the full range of forms in which she wrote.

Taking readers step-by-step through the major issues surrounding
the use of English in the global aviation industry, this book
provides a clear introduction to turning research into practice in
the field of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), specifically
Aviation English, and a valuable case study of applied linguistics
in action. With both cutting-edge research and evidence-based
practice, the critical role of English in aviation is explored
across a variety of contexts, including the national and global
policies impacting training and language assessment for pilots,
air-traffic controllers, ground staff, and students. English in
Global Aviation teaches readers how to apply linguistic research to
real world, practical settings. The book uses a range of
corpus-based findings and related research to provide an effective
analysis of the language needs of the aviation industry and an
extended look at linguistic principles in action. Readers are
presented with case studies, transcriptions, radiotelephony, and a
clear breakdown of the common vocabulary and phrasal patterns of
aviation discourse. Students and teachers of both linguistics and
aviation will discover the requirements and challenges of
successful intercultural communication in this industry, as well as
insights into how to teach, develop, and assess aviation English
language courses.

The current policy of educating d/Deaf and h/Hard of hearing (DHH)
students in a mainstream setting, rather than in the segregated
environments of deaf schools, has been portrayed as a positive step
forward in creating greater equality for DHH students. In Language,
Power, and Resistance, Elizabeth S. Mathews explores this claim
through qualitative research with DHH children in the Republic of
Ireland, their families, their teachers, and their experiences of
the education system. While sensitive to the historical context of
deaf education, Mathews focuses on the contemporary education
system and the ways in which the mainstreaming agenda fits into
larger discussions about the classification, treatment, and
normalization of DHH children. The research upon which this book is
based examined the implications that mainstreaming has for the
tensions between the hegemonic medical model of deafness and the
social model of Deafness. This volume explores how different types
of power are used in the deaf education system to establish,
maintain, and also resist medical views of deafness. Mathews frames
this discussion as one of power relations across parents, children,
and professionals working within the system. She looks at how
various forms of power are used to influence decisions, to resist
decisions, and to shape the structure and delivery of deaf
education. The author's findings are a significant contribution to
the debates on inclusive education for DHH students and will
resonate in myriad social and geographic contexts.
