Widows and Suitors in Early Modern English Comedy
The courtship and remarriage of a rich widow was a popular motif in early modern comic theatre. Jennifer Panek brings together a wide variety of texts, from ballads and jest-books to sermons and court records, to examine the staple widow of comedy in her cultural context and to examine early modern attitudes to remarriage. She persuasively challenges the critical tendency to see the stereotype of the lusty widow as a tactic to dissuade women from second marriages, arguing instead that it was deployed to enable her suitors to regain their masculinity, under threat from the dominant, wealthier widow. The theatre, as demonstrated by Middleton, Dekker, Beaumont and Fletcher and others, was the prime purveyor of a fantasy in which a young man's sexual mastery of a widow allowed him to seize the economic opportunity she offered.

Exorcism and Its Texts
In Exorcism and Its Texts, Hilaire Kallendorf demonstrates how this 'infection' was represented in some thirty works of literature by fifteen different authors, ranging from canonical classics to obscure works by anonymous writers.
Other Voices, Other Views
"The debate over canon represented by this book is implicit in the broad range of its contents. As a whole, it argues for expansion: the inclusion of other voices to augment the standard university syllabus for the early modern period, urging recognition of the period's diversity and reforming the conditions under which we pass judgment on its culture." "Each of these essays reveals the literary potential of works that have been considered inferior and inappropriate for serious study. While such individual discovery is certainly valuable, what is even more interesting is their significance as a group. All the essays contained here are engaged in opening texts up to different perspectives, creating a canon that speaks of diversity rather than uniformity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Green City and Social Injustice
The Green City and Social Injustice examines the recent urban environmental trajectory of 21 cities in Europe and North America over a 20-year period. It analyses the circumstances under which greening interventions can create a new set of inequalities for socially vulnerable residents while also failing to eliminate other environmental risks and impacts. Based on fieldwork in ten countries and on the analysis of core planning, policy and activist documents and data, the book offers a critical view of the growing green planning orthodoxy in the Global North. It highlights the entanglements of this tenet with neoliberal municipal policies including budget cuts for community initiatives, long-...
Writing Early Modern London

Ranging from previously unstudied manuscripts to major works by Middleton, Stow and Whitney, it examines how memory became a key cultural battleground as rites of community were appropriated in creative ways.
Kent Pazarlaması ve Kent Bilinci
Kentler durağan yapıya sahip oluşumlar olmanın aksine kendi iç dinamikleriyle ve çevresel etkilerle değişen, zaman içinde farklı görünümlere ve işlevlere bürünen yapılar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Hızlı sanayileşme, yaygın eğitim oranının artışı, küreselleşmenin etkileri, ulaşım ve iletişim alanındaki gelişmeler, köyden kente göç gibi unsurlar kent yapısına ve kent yaşamına etki eden süreçler olarak görülmektedir. Kentleşme, kentlileşme ve kentlilik bilinci kavramlarından bahsedebilmek için kentin kırsal yerleşimlerden belirgin bir şekilde ayrı olduğu konusunda bir önkabulun olması gerekmektedir. Sanayi devrimi öncesi toplumlarda tarıma, hayvancalığa ve el işlemeciliğine dayalı ekonomik yapısıyla kentler, günümüzde taşıdığı anlamlardan farklı bir şekilde kırsal yaşamın hakim olduğu yerleşimlerdi. Bu sebepten dolayı sanayi devrimi öncesi dönem, kent pazarlaması ve kentlilik bilinci kavramlarının her ikisini de kapsayacak niteliklerden ve anlamlardan uzak bir yapı göstermektedir.
Ikonica
"Ikonica is the first exploration of Canada's rich and unique brand heritage. Authors Jeannette Hanna and Alan Middleton shed light on the evolution of our country's best-known brands, from the Hudson's Bay Company to Canadian Tire. The visual tour of Canada's branding environment highlights the prime movers, the triumphs and the failures." "Both Hanna and Middleton draw on years of experience as brand strategists to offer an inside look at the major players in Canadian branding, from global success stories like Cirque du Soleil to domestic upstarts like WestJet. The heart of the books is almost thirty interview with a "who's who" of major business and cultural figures including Paul House (Tim Hortons), Robert Milton (Air Canada), Fred Schaeffer (McCain Foods), and William Thorsell (Royal Ontario Museum). The authors' provocative analysis shows what it takes for Canadian brands to punch above their weight in the global marketplace."--BOOK JACKET.
