There is increasing interest in young people's participation in the
design and delivery of health services. But young people's views
are not consistently sought or acknowledged, and they are still
often marginalised in healthcare encounters. Drawing on original
research and a diverse range of practice examples, Brady explores
the potential for inclusive and diverse approaches to young
people's participation in health services from the perspectives of
young people, health professionals and other practitioners. She
presents a practical new framework, embedded in children's rights,
that shows how young people's participation can be integrated into
services in ways that are meaningful, effective and sustainable.
Adopted by the UN General Assembly on 13 September 2007, the United
Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples affirms the
"minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of the
indigenous peoples of the world." The Declaration responds to past
and ongoing injustices suffered by Indigenous peoples worldwide,
and provides a strong foundation for the full recognition of the
inherent rights of Indigenous peoples. Despite this, Canada was one
of the few countries to oppose the Declaration. With essays from
Indigenous leaders, legal scholars and practitioners, state
representatives, and representatives from NGOs, contributors
discuss the creation of the Declaration and how it can be used to
advance human rights internationally.
Laurence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy
continues to be as widely read and admired as upon its first
appearance. Deemed more accessible than Sterne’s Life and
Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and often assigned as a
college text, A Sentimental Journey has received its share of
critical attention, but—unlike Tristram Shandy—to date it has
not been the subject of a dedicated anthology of critical essays.
This volume fills that gap with fresh perspectives on Sterne’s
novel that will appeal to students and critics alike. Together with
an introduction that situates each essay within A Sentimental
Journey’s reception history, and a tailpiece detailing the
culmination of Sterne’s career and his death, this volume
presents a cohesive approach to this significant text that is
simultaneously grounded and revelatory.

Boswell and the Press: Essays on the Ephemeral Writing of James
Boswell is the first sustained examination of James Boswell’s
ephemeral writing, his contributions to periodicals, his pamphlets,
and his broadsides. The essays collected here enhance our
comprehension of his interests, capabilities, and proclivities as
an author and refine our understanding of how the print environment
in which he worked influenced what he wrote and how he wrote it.
This book will also be of interest to historians of journalism and
the publishing industry of eighteenth-century Britain.
Published in 1719, Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe is one of those
extraordinary literary works whose importance lies not only in the
text itself but in its persistently lively afterlife. German author
Johann Gottfried Schnabel—who in 1731 penned his own island
narrative—coined the term “Robinsonade” to characterize the
genre bred by this classic, and today hundreds of examples can be
identified worldwide. This celebratory collection of tercentenary
essays testifies to the Robinsonade’s endurance, analyzing its
various literary, aesthetic, philosophical, and cultural
implications in historical context. Contributors trace the
Robinsonade’s roots from the eighteenth century to generic
affinities in later traditions, including juvenile fiction, science
fiction, and apocalyptic fiction, and finally to contemporary
adaptations in film, television, theater, and popular culture.
Taken together, these essays convince us that the genre’s adapt-
ability to changing social and cultural circumstances explains its
relevance to this day. Published by Bucknell University Press.

The works of Henry Fielding, though written nearly three hundred
years ago, retain their sense of comedy and innovation in the face
of tradition, and they easily engage the twenty-first-century
student with many aspects of eighteenth-century life: travel, inns,
masquerades, political and religious factions, the '45, prisons and
the legal system, gender ideals and realities, social class. Part 1
of this volume, "Materials," discusses the available editions of
Joseph Andrews, Tom Jones, Shamela, Jonathan Wild, and Amelia;
suggests useful critical and contextual works for teaching them;
and recommends helpful audiovisual and electronic resources. The
essays of part 2, "Approaches," demonstrate that many of the
methods and models used for one novel-the romance tradition,
Fielding's legal and journalistic writing, his techniques as a
playwright, the ideas of Machiavelli-can be adapted to others.
