"This dictionary explores the language of domestic life found in Shakespeare's work and seeks to demonstrate the meanings he attaches to it through his uses of it in particular contexts. "Domestic life" covers a range of topics: the language of the household, clothing, food, family relationships and duties; household practices, the architecture of the home, and all that conditions and governs the life of the home. The dictionary draws on recent cultural materialist research to provide in-depth definitions of the domestic language and life in Shakespeare's works, creating a richly rewarding and informative reference tool for upper level students and scholars."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Dr. Laura London doesn’t possess any special powers or magical destiny. She’s a medical doctor trained to cure disease and ailments. There’s no room for superstition in her life, not when logic can solve most problems. Then she’s called to Ethiopia to help contain and stop a suspected plague. Or is it a plague? When the sun sets, the villagers vanish into their homes. Children are tucked into bed for fear of shapeshifting werehyenas. When she sees proof herself in the form of a body rising from an autopsy table, Laura’s rational mind can’t compute. But she alone may be able to save the cursed town and its people. To do so, she’ll face evil werehyenas as well as a ruthless colonel threatening her investigation and life. Can she overcome her fear and learn to accept superstition as a reality when needed?
