A GLOSSARY OF POLITICAL THEORY This work assumes that politics cannot be studied without theory. All our statements about parties, movements, states and relationships between them presuppose theoretical views, so that political theory is an integral part of the study of politics. This series introduces key terms within the core subject areas of politics.
The Blackwell Dictionary of Political Science : A User's Guide to Its Terms This book is a companion volume to the Blackwell Dictionary of Sociology by Allan Johnson. It is hoped that it will be of value to students and teachers of political science alike. It should be noted that it is concerned with the terminology of the subject. The names of specific politicians and political parties cannot be found here. On the other hand, where a policy or a movement has a general significancefor example, privatization, nationalization, socialism or christian democracyit is included.
Spenser's Legal Language: Law and Poetry in Early Modern England (Studies in Renaissance Literature)
Both English language and English political life underwent unprecedented change in the sixteenth century, creating acute linguistic and legal crises that, in Elizabeth I's later years, intersected in the pioneering poetry of Edmund Spenser.
The second edition of A BIOGRAPHY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE continues to examine the structure of language. The textbook discusses three important issues: languages and language change are systematic; the inner history of a language is profoundly affected by its outer history of political and culural events; and the English of the past has everywhere left its traces on present-day English. By uncovering the language's past, one can better communicate with it.

Selected Poems of Byron (Wordsworth Poetry Library)
'I mean to show things really as they are, not as they ought to be', wrote Byron (1788-1824) in his comic masterpiece Don Juan, which follows the adventures of the hero across the Europe and near East which Byron knew so well, touching on the major political, cultural and social concerns of the day. This selection includes all of that poem, and selections from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the satirical poems English Bards and Scotch Reviewers and A Vision of Judgement.
