The Secret Stories of Hidden Languages

The Renaissance is one of the most studied and celebrated eras of history. Spanning the end of the Middle Ages to the beginning of modernity, it has come to symbolise the transformative rebirth of knowledge, art, culture and political thought in Europe. And for the last two hundred years, historians have struggled to describe what makes this famous golden age unique. In Inventing the Renaissance, acclaimed historian Ada Palmer provides a fresh perspective on what makes this epoch so captivating. Her witty and irreverent journey through the fantasies historians have constructed about the period show how its legend derives more from later centuries' mythmaking than from the often grim reality of the period itself. She examines its defining figures and movements: the enduring legacy of Niccolò Machiavelli, the rediscovery of the classics, the rise of the Medici and fall of the Borgias, the astonishing artistic achievements of Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Cellini, the impact of the Inquisition and the expansion of secular Humanism. Palmer also explores the ties between culture and money: books, for example, could cost as much as grand houses, so the period's innovative thinkers could only thrive with the help of the super-rich. She offers fifteen provocative and entertaining character portraits of Renaissance men and women, some famous, some obscure, whose intersecting lives show how the real Renaissance was more unexpected, more international and, above all, more desperate than its golden reputation suggests. Drawing on her popular blogs and writing with her characteristic energy and wit, Palmer presents the Renaissance as we have never seen it before. Colloquial, funny and brilliant, you would never expect a work of deep scholarship to make you alternately laugh and cry.

As media landscapes shift, new questions arise over what constitutes a 'narrative text', from graphic novels to twitter accounts, web series and computer games. Siobhan O'Flynn provides a new theoretical framework in which to discuss and analyse this continually evolving area.

Mapping Digital Narrativity

Routledge Handbooks in Applied Linguistics

This completely revised and updated new edition of The Routledge Handbook of Language and Health Communication examines how linguistic and multimodal practices organize health communication in systems reshaped by digital media and Covid-19. Leading international scholars from anthropology, applied linguistics, media studies, health informatics, and social psychology explore how health and illness accounts are produced across clinical, policy, and everyday contexts.Organized into three sections-individuals' everyday health communication, health professionals' practices, and patient-provider interaction-the handbook analyzes encounters between patients and professionals, health discourse circulation on social media, and multimodal care construction. Case studies include online health communities, Covid-19 memes, digital crowdfunding, and public health communication across diverse cultural settings.This fully revised edition features a new editorial team, introduction, and ten new chapters covering multimodal discourse analysis, digital discourse analysis, metaphor analysis, and pandemic risk communication. All chapters reflect emerging debates, new technologies, and innovative methodologies transforming the field.The volume combines conversation analysis, ethnography, corpus linguistics, social network analysis, and multimodal discourse analysis, emphasizing technology's role in health communication and authentic communicative contexts. By positioning language as central to understanding health and illness, this handbook provides essential insights into how evolving communication reshapes health and care meanings. An indispensable reference for researchers and practitioners in the field of applied linguistics, addressing healthcare access, inequality, and the ethical dimensions of health communication.

Elements in Language and Power

This Element introduces the conceptualization of language weaponization, examining how dominant groups use language to control, marginalize, and harm minoritized communities. It proposes a three-phase framework- (1) stigmatization and othering, (2) dehumanization, and (3) harm-to explain how linguistic practices evolve from prejudice to violence, shaping both social structures and individual identities. Through analysis of the dynamics between dominant and minoritized groups and case studies focused on LGBTQ+ communities, the Element reveals the historical and ongoing consequences of weaponized language. Moving beyond critique, it advances a vision for transformation by positioning applied linguists as central actors in promoting societal healing. Further, storytelling is presented as a vital practice for (re)humanization and collective restoration. Ultimately, this Element invites readers to critically examine how language constructs power and to imagine its potential as a force for healing, peace, and goodness across diverse societies.

36 ways to improve your writing Two writers show you how to turn a worthy sentence into a memorable one. Starting where The Elements of Style leaves off, Good Writing can improve your book, your essay, your memo, your blog post, speech, or script. These essential rules for persuasive language work on any type of writing, and anyone can learn them quickly. Each rule is accompanied by examples and a lively pair of essays, the first by Neal Allen, who developed the list of tips over the course of his journalism and corporate careers; the second by his wife, Anne Lamott, acclaimed author of Bird by Bird and nineteen other nonfiction works and novels. The authors don’t always agree on the specifics, but they are passionate about making better sentences. As Neal writes, “These rules economize, favor the plainspoken and the specific, keep the reader’s attention sharp, and in other ways show respect for the audience’s time and desire for novelty.” Some rules are fundamental: Use strong verbs. Remove the boring stuff. Twist clichés. Some are more subtle: Draw on all five senses. Give your sentence a finale. Along the way, Good Writing addresses practicalities such as finishing projects despite challenges, trusting editors, and knowing when to break the rules to serve your story. Whether you're a novice writer or a seasoned author, this entertaining guide will revolutionize your approach to crafting sentences.

The History of Writing

Jewish Lives

The first biography in more than three decades of the Austrian-born thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century"An engrossing biography [that] focuses on what is most essential and interesting in the philosopher's work and life. . . . It is rare to find a book that you can open at random and almost always find something that piques your interest."-Julian Baggini, Wall Street Journal"Very clear and lively and interesting."-Nigel Warburton, Five Books, "Best Philosophy Books of 2025"According to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), philosophy is a "battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language." This audacious idea changed the way many of its practitioners saw their subject. In the first biography of Wittgenstein in more than three decades, Anthony Gottlieb evaluates this revolutionary idea, explaining the evolution of Wittgenstein's thought and his place in the history of philosophy. &nbsp; Wittgenstein was born into an immensely rich Viennese family but yearned to live a simple life, and he gave away his inheritance. After studying with Bertrand Russell in Cambridge, he wrote his famous Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus while serving in World War I. He then took several positions as a primary-school teacher in rural Austria before returning as a fellow to Cambridge, where a cultlike following developed around him. Wittgenstein worked not only as a philosopher and schoolteacher, but also as an aeronautical engineer in Manchester and as an architect in Vienna. &nbsp; Gottlieb's meticulously researched book traces the itinerant and troubled life of Wittgenstein, the development of his influential ideas, and the Viennese intellectual milieu and family background that shaped him.
