Royal Couples
Few political families have captured the public's fascination quite like the members of the House of Windsor, the British royal family. This collection of articles compiles The New York Times's coverage of three of the best-known couples in modern history: Harry and Meghan, William and Kate, and Charles and Diana. Through these pieces, readers can witness firsthand the most publicized moments of each couple's story, including engagements, weddings, childbirth, and, in the case of Charles and Diana, a quite public divorce. Furthermore, articles on Diana's untimely, tragic death and Meghan Markle's activism and career as an actor make this an essential guide to the royal family's affairs.
Staging Ben
Ben Jonson has frequently been maligned for his antitheatricalism and inability to conceive of his plays as anything other than a reading experience. Staging Ben: A Collection of Essays on the Theatricality of Jonson’s Plays offers a rebuttal of this mischaracterization of Jonson’s work. Featuring contributions from both Renaissance literature scholars and theatre practitioners, this volume of essays demonstrates the prodigious theatrical imagination of one of the world’s most underappreciated dramatists. It explores the problems associated with producing a Jonson play – from length to topicality to cast size – and offers solutions for those who have an interest in bringing Jonson’s plays to life. Specific plays explored in this collection are Sejanus, Volpone, The Alchemist, Catiline, and Bartholomew Fair.
Ponyville Confidential
Beloved by young girls around the world, Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise has been mired in controversy since its debut in the early 1980s. Critics dismissed the cartoons as toy advertisements, and derided their embrace of femininity. The 2010 debut of the openly feminist My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic renewed the backlash, as its broad appeal challenged entrenched notions about gendered entertainment. This first comprehensive study of My Little Pony explores the history and cultural significance of the franchise through Season 5 of Friendship Is Magic and the first three Equestria Girls films. The brand has continued to be on the receiving end of a sexist double standard regarding commercialism in children's entertainment, while masculine cartoons such as the Transformers have been spared similar criticism.

Charles & Camilla
This is the definitive account of one of the most extraordinary stories of our time. Gyles Brandreth, acclaimed biographer of the Queen and Prince Philip, presents a unique portrait of their son, Charles, Prince of Wales, and of the one 'non-negotiable' love of his life, Camilla Shand, now Duchess of Cornwall. What are Charles and Camilla really like? What is their heritage? What has made them the way they are? This is both a revealing portrait of two unusual individuals and a family saga like no other, told with unrivalled authority and insight - and humour - by a best-selling writer who has met all the key characters in the drama: Charles, Camilla, Diana, their children, their families and their friends.
Camilla
Rebecca Tyrrel paints a vivid picture of the life of Camilla Parker Bowles—jolly, horsey, laid-back Camilla, loyal friend, loving mother, whose "open" county marriage was no one's business until it emerged that the other man in it was the heir to the throne. To her critics, Camilla will always be a manipulative marriage breaker, the woman who took on the "People's Princess" and won. But if nothing else, she is constant—a dignified consort, who has endured years of public vilification and never answered back. With the help of friends and county contacts, royal reporters and palace insiders, Tyrrel goes behind the scenes of an extraordinary love story—a story of romance and tragedy, which has rocked the monarchy to its foundations and yet doggedly prevailed.
