A discussion of White Limozeen, from Dolly's self-fashioning of her image to a rigorous critique of her genre.White Limozeen (1989) was a commercial recovery after Dolly Parton's first major failure two years previously with the release of Rainbow. This book is a case study in how an album is sold and a persona constructed. The album had a complex relationship to the country music genre at a time when the genre was in the middle of major sonic and cultural shifts, and it represents how country music saw itself. This question of identity was especially relevant since White Limozeen was produced by Ricky Skaggs, the bluegrass prodigy who was in the middle of his own genre widening experiments. The album reflects dense and complex production, shredding ideas of purity, studio craft, slickness, and authenticity. In it, Dolly seems to be imagining the limits of her own personae - the country girl, the blonde burlesque, the pop legend, the gospel singer.To study this album is to investigate Dolly's calculated role in self fashioning her image into the icon she is today.

Box, whose characters have been made into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky.

A biography of the remarkable, and in her time scandalous, seventeenth-century writer Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle.

From the closure of churches during the pandemic, and therefore in the absence of a community of worship, arises the pressing theological question: what does it mean to belong 'from a distance'? Although many have reacted to this question by providing virtual alternatives for activities and by reaffirming solidarity in times of hardship, a theological response requires articulating the effects of quarantine and distancing on what it means to belong in the Church. Fundamentally, what does it mean to belong, and is it possible to belong anew after the pandemic? This book addresses these questions by carefully drawing from the thought of Augustine of Hippo, whose life and thought fittingly echoes the course of our times.

This collection provides a snapshot of big ideas in family law reform. The book asks: If you could change one part of family law, what would it be? This deceptively simple question is answered by 10 family law experts and debated within the volume by expert respondents.The book puts the proposal first, forcing authors (and their respondents) to critically engage with what family law should look like, and where the development of law is needed to address the changing landscape of family life. Globalisation, cultural and religious diversity, the use of technology and changes in societal attitudes towards marriage and parenthood have all had an impact on the continuing evolution of families. As a consequence, the law has some very complex challenges to address in its attempt to regulate the diversity of family life.This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of family law and serves as a pair to Hart Publishing's landmark Criminal Law Reform Now.
