Since the first installment of Dunnett’s series was published in 1961, Francis Crawford of Lymond, the swashbuckling protagonist of the stories, has been captivating his fellow characters and readers alike. Instead of approaching the books primarily as historical fiction, Richardson, an enthusiastic admirer of the series, unravels the complexities of the main character by exploring his psychology, positioning the books within the genre of espionage, and examining Dunnett’s strategy of using games in her writing. Richardson’s insight and passion for his subject will inspire fans to revisit Dunnett’s series.

Elementary School: Hyper Masculinity in a Feminized Context

Scott Richardson gives us a finely detailed experiential account ofhow gender and teaching are woven together in public schools. Throughhis own memories and the narrativized experiences of his researchsubjects, Richardson demonstrates both the institutional benefitsassociated with being male and the fragility of masculinity. Membershipin the "Boys' Club" of hypermasculinity requires constant checking,surveillance, and choices that fit within the narrow range of dominantmasculinity (so well detailed by R. W. Connell). Richardson's causalstyle parallels the ease with which men in leadership and teachingpositions articulate their allegiance to gender norms and one another,and in effect, set critique of such gender norms above comment: it'sjust the way things are done. - Cris Mayo, Associate Professor of Education Policy,Organization and Leadership &amp; Gender and Women's Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Faculty Director of the OdysseyProject; author of Disputing the Subject of Sex: Sexuality and Public School Controversies. Scott Richardson has written a provocative work thatlifts the veil and explores a secret space hiding in plain sight inevery school in America. The taboo is gender, and for teachers who often feel bound and gagged, unseen and unheard, Richardson's efforts offer a life-altering experience that will change the way we understandclassrooms. eleMENtary School: (Hyper)Masculinity in a Feminized Context is both forbidden fruit and a small masterpiece. - William Ayers, Distinguished Professor of Education andSenior University Scholar, University of Illinois at Chicago (retired);founder of the Center for Youth and Society; author of To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher, and co-author-editor of The Handbook of Social Justice in Education with T. Quinn &amp; D. Stovall. eleMENtary School tells the important and untold story of teachers' enactments of normative masculinity. Through vivid andcompelling accounts of male teachers like Dru, Alex and Owen we learnabout how contemporary definitions of masculinity prevent teachers fromfulfilling their potential as educators, as colleagues and as rolemodels. Only by reading carefully a documented analysis like these canwe begin to critically examine the way in which we can encourage maleteachers to develop what Scott Richardson calls an "ethic of care," that supports gender equality, rather than allowing them to continue toengage in damaging practices of normative masculinity. - CJ Pascoe, Assistant Professor of Sociology, ColoradoCollege; author of Dude You're a Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in HighSchool and Anas, Mias and Wannas: Identity and Community in a Pro-anaSubculture. Scott Richardson's eleMENtary School: (Hyper)Masculinity in a Feminized Context is a remarkable innovative contribution to teacher lore, narrativeinquiry, and gender studies. Readers cannot experience this book without pondering, questioning, rethinking, and reconstructing theirperspective on education and its socio-sexual and political milieu.Surely, that is one of the most laudable consequences of a scholarlycontribution in education. I urge educators at all levels to let thisbook have impact on their outlooks. - William H.

Gender Lessons: Patriarchy, Sextyping & Schools (Teaching Gender, 4)

Public schools in early America were designed to ensure the reproduction of Eurocentric social values. It could be argued that little has changed. Gender Lessons takes an in-depth look at how schools institutionalize gender-how kids are taught the rules and expectations of performing masculinity and femininity. This work provides extensive examples of how elementary, middle, and high schools: sextype; defend and preserve patriarchy; weave gendered expectations in all things school related; promote inequity; and limit their students' potential by explicitly and implicitly teaching that they must fit into only one of two boxes..."girl" or "boy." Richardson argues that schools-a powerful and wide reaching publicly funded mechanism-should be engaged in social (re)imagination that disbands the antiquated girl/boy and feminine/masculine binary so that kids might have a chance at being themselves. This book is sure to provoke conversation in courses and professional communities interested in education, gender studies, social work, sociology, counseling and guidance. "In the 1970s, feminists fought to reform sexist school curricula and challenged taken-for-granted tracking of boys and girls. Forty years later, drawing from personal experiences and insightful research in schools, Scott Richardson shows us that the job is far from finished. Informal interactions and stubborn sexist beliefs about gender difference still press girls and boys in primary, middle and high schools into different-and highly constraining-gender boxes. Anyone who cares about taking the next steps toward gender equality in schools will find in Gender Lessons a useful and hopeful map to a better future for our kids." - Michael A. Messner, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at the University of Southern California and author of Some Men: Feminist Allies and the Movement to End Violence Against Women "This book is unique in that it includes data from elementary, middle, and high schools from both students' and teachers' perspectives. These examples are familiar to anyone working in K-12 schools, but his analysis offers a new lens for many that can expose the frustrating and often heartbreaking nature of these taken-for-granted cultural norms." - Elizabeth J. Meyer, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Education at California Polytechnic State University and author of Gender and Sexual Diversity in School "Read how kids and their teachers conspire to create the illusion that gender is uniform. Read about teachers who sometimes teach gender lessons to their students a little too 'up close and personal.' No muckraker, Richardson reports what he learned from his resounding research, not always telling us what we're supposed to learn but allowing the facts themselves to teach. Even if Richardson didn't have kids--he has two--you know he'd make a great Dad, because he is a great teacher: 'My hope is that we might fully recognize children as complex individuals--that we go beyond any biological assignment, and resist the pressure to stereotype (sextype) how boys and girls are 'supposed to act'.' Scott Richardson understands. Read for yourself." - William F. Pinar, Professor and Canada Research Chair, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
