Radical Hope
Presents the story of Plenty Coups, the last great Chief of the Crow Nation. This title contains a philosophical and ethical inquiry into a people faced with the end of their way of life.
A Is for Donkeys
A is for Donkeys is an alphabetic adventure with a difference. Readers are invited to delight in the sounds and semantics of letters A-Z, discovering many quirks of the English language along the way. This is no simple reading primer - it's a celebration of the absurdities of spelling and pronunciation, using ingenious puns and idioms, old and new. The stylish letterform illustrations by Riccardo Guasco beautifully amplify the humour and occasional pathos of Jonathan Hope's playful verse. A gem of a book for all phonetics-phobic adults, linguistically-curious children and fun-seeking English language learners and teachers.
Stylistics
Using a wide range of twentieth-century literary prose Laura Wright and Jonathan Hope provide an `interactive' introduction to the techniques of stylistic analysis. Divided up into five sections; the noun phrase, the verb phrase, the clause, text structure and vocabulary, the book also provides an introduction to the basics of descriptive grammar for beginning students. * Presumes no prior linguistic knowledge * Provides a comprehensive glossary of terms * Adaptable: designed to be used in a variety of classroom contexts * Introduces students to an enormous range of 20th century literature from James Joyce to Roddy Doyle A practical coursebook rather than a survey account of stylistics as a discipline, the book provides over forty opportunities for hands-on stylistic analysis. For each linguistic feature under discussion the reader is offered a definition, a text for analysis, exercises and tasks, in addition to a suggested solution. Stylistics: A Practical Coursebook is genuinely `student friendly' and will be an invaluable tool for all beginning undergraduates and A-level students of language and literature.
Shakespeare and Language
Publisher Description
Shakespeare and Language: Reason, Eloquence and Artifice in the Renaissance
'This book is nothing short of brilliant. It is bursting with new observations, pithy readings and sensitive analyses. One of Hope's skills is to show us that 'language' is not separable from 'ideas'; both are systems of representation. This is a book about words, conventions, artifice, mythology, innovation, reason, eloquence, silence, control, communication, selfhood, dialect, 'late style' and much, much more. After reading Hope's book you will never read Shakespeare in the same way.' (Professor Laurie Maguire, Magdalen College, Oxford) Our understanding of words, and how they get their meanings, relies on a stable spelling system and dictionary definitions - things which simply did not ex...

Where Hope Abides
When her social-conscious mother forces Hope into an engagement with a cruel, but titled peer, Hope desguises herself as a lad and flees the only home she's ever known. On top of losing her father, her mother's manipulations makes Hope wonder if God even cares. Her flight to London is interrupted by unexpected detours, the worst of which brings her to the point of giving up. Her sodden, unconsious body is discovered, and she wakes up in the home of the Marquess of Aven. Though she fears to reveal her true identity, Hope comes to deeply care for the Glynis family who treat her like one of their own. She also begins to lose her heart to their cousin David. But her erstwhile fiancé is not about to let her go. When he shows up, Hope flees again. Will Hope stop running long enough to listen to the still small voice within and trust Gods knows best-or will her tendency to run away destroy a future of faith and love.
