Shakespeare in London offers a lively and engaging new reading of
some of Shakespeare's major work, informed by close attention to
the language of his drama. The focus of the book is on
Shakespeare's London, how it influenced his drama and how he
represents it on stage. Taking readers on an imaginative journey
through the city, the book moves both chronologically, from
beginning to end of Shakespeare's dramatic career, and also
geographically, traversing London from west to east. Each chapter
focuses on one play and one key location, drawing out the thematic
connections between that place and the drama it underwrites. Plays
discussed in detail include Hamlet, Richard II, The Merchant of
Venice, The Tempest, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. Close textual
readings accompany the wealth of contextual material, providing a
fresh and exciting way into Shakespeare's work.
Rhetoric, Embodiment, and the Ethos of Surveillance: Student Bodies
in the American High School investigates the rhetorical tension
between controlling student bodies and educating student minds. The
book is a rhetorical analysis of the policies and procedures that
govern life in contemporary American high schools; it also
discusses the rhetorical effects of high-security,
high-surveillance school buildings. It uncovers various metaphors
that emerge from a close reading of the system, such as students'
claims that "school is a prison." Jennifer Young concludes that
many of the policies governing contemporary American high schools
have come to rhetorically operate as a "discourse of default" that
works against the highest aims of education, and she offers a
method of effecting a cultural shift for going forward.
Specifically, Young calls for an explicit application of
intentional rhetoric to match discourse to audience and suggests
that the development of empathy as a core value within the high
school might be more effective in keeping students safe than the
architectural and technological approaches we currently employ.

moments of her career while trying to protect those she loves. The
unmissable conclusion to the Max Falkland Trilogy.
