Verbal deficit theories try to account for differential educational attainments in linguistic terms suggesting that children reach varying levels of success in school as a result of their ability or inability to express themselves and relate this to social class. This critique considers such theories especially in the form propounded by Bernstein primarily from a sociolinguistic viewpoint but with special attention to the historical and educational context behind the theories.

Routledge Revivals: Mark Twain as a Literary Comedian (1979) Originally published in 1979 Mark Twain as a Literary Comedian looks at how Mark Twain addressed social issues through humour. The Southwest provided the subject for much of Twain’s writing but the roots of his style lay principally in north-eastern humour. In the mid-1800s the northern United States underwent social changes that reflected in the writing of the literary humourists like Twain. Sloane argues that he used humour to describe conditions in the emerging middle-class urban experience and express his American vision and that Twain’s views on the human social and political conditions presented through his fictional characters elevated the use of literary humour in the American novel. | Routledge Revivals: Mark Twain as a Literary Comedian (1979) GBP 31.99 1
Forensic Storytelling and the Literary Roots of Early Modern Feminism ReSisters The writing of letters and the rise of the novel provided a way for some women to express themselves at a time when the all-male French Academy defined the very parameters of French literary acceptability and tradition. Women who were consigned to convents workhouses or prisons were in most respects deprived of agency yet many found ways to respond to the legal documents served against them. The letters and associated materials preserved in their legal files provide evidence that these women did not remain quiet as they found means to resist authority. The forensic storytelling examined in this book supports the conclusion that the documents written in these constrained circumstances have both historical and literary merit and form the core of an understudied genre of literature. | Forensic Storytelling and the Literary Roots of Early Modern Feminism ReSisters GBP 48.95 1

Cultural Chauvinism Intercultural Communication and the Politics of Superiority This book explores the concept of cultural chauvinism as the sense of superiority that ethnic or national groups have of themselves relative to others particularly in the context of international relations. Minabere Ibelema shows the various ways that academics statesmen and especially journalists express their cultural groups’ sense of superiority over others. The analysis pivots around the notion of “Western values” given its centrality in international relations and diplomacy. To the West this stands for an array of largely positive political and civic values; to a significant portion of the global community it embodies degeneracies. Ibelema argues that often the most routine expressions go under the radar even in this age of hypersensitivity. This book throws a unique light on global relations and will be of particular interest to scholars in international relations communication studies and journalism studies. | Cultural Chauvinism Intercultural Communication and the Politics of Superiority GBP 18.99 1
Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text A Case Study in the Victorian Illustrated Novel Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text explores the genesis production and the critical appreciation of the illustrations to the fiction of Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson is one of the most copied and interpreted authors of the late nineteenth century especially his novels Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. These interpretations began with the illustration of his texts in their early editions often with Stevenson’s express consent and this book traces Stevenson’s understanding and critical responses to the artists employed to illustrate his texts. In doing so it attempts to position Stevenson as an important thinker and writer on the subject of illustrated literature and on the marriage of literature and visual arts at a moment preceding the dawn of cinema and the rejection of such popular tropes by modernist writers of the early twentieth century. | Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text A Case Study in the Victorian Illustrated Novel GBP 39.99 1
Reading Contemporary Black British and African American Women Writers Race Ethics Narrative Form Contemporary African American and Black British Women Writers: Narrative Race Ethics brings together British and American scholars to explore how in texts by contemporary black women writers in the U. S. and Britain formal narrative techniques express new understandings of race or stimulate ethical thinking about race in a reader. Taken together the essays also demonstrate that black women writers from both sides of the Atlantic borrow formal structures and literary techniques from one another to describe the workings of structural racism in the daily lives of black subjects and to provoke readers to think anew about race. Narratology has only recently begun to use race as a category of narrative theory. This collection seeks both to show the ethical effects of narrative form on individual readers and to foster reconceptualizations of narrative theory that account for the workings of race within literature and culture. | Reading Contemporary Black British and African American Women Writers Race Ethics Narrative Form GBP 38.99 1
Perceiving Acting and Knowing Toward an Ecological Psychology Originally published in 1977 the chapters in this volume derive from a conference on Perceiving Acting and Knowing held by the Center for Research in Human Learning at the University of Minnesota in 1973.

Through these essays the authors express a collective attitude that a careful scrutiny of the fundamental tenets of contemporary psychology may be needed. In some essays specific faults in the foundations of an area are discussed and suggestions are made for remedying them. In other essays the authors flirt with more radical solutions namely beginning from new foundations altogether. Although the authors do not present a monolithic viewpoint a careful reading of all their essays under one cover reveals a glimpse of a new framework by which theory and research may be guided. | Perceiving Acting and Knowing Toward an Ecological Psychology GBP 52.99 1
