Alessandra is desperate to escape. Desperate to escape her stepmother, who's locked her away for a year; to escape the cloister that awaits her and the marriage plans that have been made for her; to escape the expectations that limit her and every other girl in fourteenth-century Italy. There's no tolerance in her quiet village for Alessandra and her keen intelligence and unconventional ideas. In defiant pursuit of her dreams, Alessandra undertakes an audacious quest, her bravery equaled only by the dangers she faces. Disguised and alone in a city of spies and scholars, Alessandra will find a love she could not foresee -- and an enduring fame. In this exquisite imagining of the centuries-old story of Alessandra Giliani, the world's first female anatomist, acclaimed novelist Barbara Quick gives readers the drama, romance, and rich historical detail for which she is known as she shines a light on an unforgotten -- and unforgettable -- heroine.

Biesecker (speech communication, University of Georgia) and Lucaites (rhetoric and public culture, Indiana University) are not afraid of healthy debate. The articles in this collection address different attitudes toward materiality and rhetoric, sometimes diametrically opposed. Some are based in theories of rhetoric as influenced by Marx, Lacan and Derrida. Others focus on the use of rhetoric, here defined as more than speech, to convince consumers that buying certain products will change their self-image or to make them reevaluate long held assumptions. The process of using rhetorical analysis is best depicted in an article on the evidentiary information that has led some to conclude that Abraham Lincoln was secretly gay. The author does not come down on either side in this debate but, like many of the other contributors, evaluates the sources and how they have been used. Political, literary and historical topics are all exposed to rhetorical scrutiny in this volume, which provides a lively forum for a subje

When a language dies a culture dies. To speak a language natively includes the cultural assumptions inherent in its construction. Meek (anthropology and linguistics, University of Michigan) reports here on her fieldwork in a Yukon town in which efforts are being made to revitalize the Athabaskan language, Kaska. Meek soon realized that scholarly methods were not applicable or appropriate. Subjects for study did not place her work as of overriding importance in their lives. Kaska speakers had their own agenda. They were concerned with teaching children the language and stories of their ancestors as well as establishing their group as a political entity within Canada. Meek's study, while couched in scholarly terms, makes it clear that she became aware that outside attempts to teach Kaska in schools gave the language a sense of being alien and archaic and also privileged one dialect over others. One can follow the evolution of her understanding through the book. She closes with suggestions for effective language

A lush and haunting novel of a city steeped in decadent pleasures...and of a man, proud and defiant, caught in a web of murder and betrayal.It is 1833. In the midst of Mardi Gras, Benjamin January, a Creole physician and music teacher, is playing piano at the Salle d'Orleans when the evenings festivities are interrupted--by murder.Ravishing Angelique Crozat, a notorious octoroon who travels in the city's finest company, has been strangled to death. With the authorities reluctant to become involved, Ben begins his own inquiry, which will take him through the seamy haunts of riverboatmen and into the huts of voodoo-worshipping slaves.But soon the eyes of suspicion turn toward Ben—for, black as the slave who fathered him, this free man of color is still the perfect scapegoat....

This classic autobiography is a moving life story that reveals great insight into the making of a major writer. Broken down into three distinct parts, the book details Anderson’s childhood, along with the years she spent primarily as a mother and the wife of a prominent naval officer, before concluding with her return to school and a renewal of the desire to write late in life. Her life’s story poignantly illuminates not only her own existence, but also that of her country, New Zealand, over the past 80 years.
