The Rhetorical Power of Children's Literature is an edited volume
with contributions from established and new scholars of rhetoric
offering case studies that analyze a full array of genres in
children's literature from picture books to young adult novels.
Collectively, this volume's contributions interrogate how
children's literature is a powerful yet under examined space of
rhetorical discourse that influences one of the most vulnerable
segments of our population. This book is singularly unique given
that it will be the first collection of essays on children's
literature from the distinct perspective of the field of
Communication. Beyond topical novelty, the contributors utilize a
range of scholarly methods to analyze instances of the rhetoric of
children's literature. Consequently, essays in this volume may be
read for both their specific topical content and as exemplars for
multiple methodological approaches to the study of the rhetoric of
children's literature. Collectively, the contributors set out to
contribute to our knowledge of how instances of children's
literature operate as rhetorical discourses. The volume is
organized by case studies approached through critical, rhetorical
lenses that analyze specific instances of children's literature
from two distinct stages of children's developmental reading
experiences including pre/early literacy and fluent reading.
Structurally, the book includes eight content chapters divided
evenly with four chapters analyzing books for young children and
four chapters analyzing books targeting audiences from
late-childhood to adolescence. An overview of each content chapter
accompanies this proposal.
In Rhetoric of the Protestant Sermon in America: The Pulpit at the
Turn of the Millennium, ten scholars analyze notable sermons from
the fifty-year span between 1965 and 2015, during which the
Protestant sermon has undergone significant change in the United
States. Contributors examine how this turbulent time period
witnessed a variety of important shifts in the arguments,
evidences, and rhetorical strategies employed by contemporary
preachers. Because religious practice is inextricably tangled in
the culture, politics, and economy of its historical situation, the
public expression of a faith is certain to move with the times. In
their treatment of race, sex, gender, class, and citizenship,
sermons apply ancient texts to current events and controversies,
often to revealing effect. This collection, thoughtfully edited by
Eric C. Miller and Jonathan J. Edwards, demonstrates how the genre
of the Protestant sermon has evolved-or resisted evolution-across
the years. Scholars of religion, rhetoric, communication,
sociology, and cultural studies will find this book particularly
useful.

Despite the growing importance of heroines across literary culture
and sales figures that demonstrate both young adult and adult
females are reading about heroines in droves, particularly in
graphic novels, comic books, and YA literature few scholarly
collections have examined the complex relationships between the
representations of heroines and the changing societal roles for
both women and men. In Heroines of Comic Books and Literature:
Portrayals in Popular Culture, editors Maja Bajac-Carter, Norma
Jones, and Bob Batchelor have selected essays by award-winning
contributors that offer a variety of perspectives on the
representations of heroines in today s society. Focused on printed
media, this collection looks at heroic women depicted in
literature, graphic novels, manga, and comic books. Addressing
heroines from such sources as the Marvel and DC comic universes,
manga, and the Twilight novels, contributors go beyond the account
of women as mothers, wives, warriors, goddesses, and damsels in
distress. These engaging and important essays situate heroines
within culture, revealing them as tough and self-sufficient females
who often break the bounds of gender expectations in places readers
may not expect. Analyzing how women are and have been represented
in print, this companion volume to Heroines of Film and Television
will appeal to scholars of literature, rhetoric, and media as well
as to broader audiences that are interested in portrayals of women
in popular culture."
