Collected Poems
Christopher Middleton is celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic as a pioneering and individual voice in modern poetry, and has also won praise for his translations from the German. This book collects forty years' work, and includes previously unpublished poems.
Palavers
Middleton was one of Britain's finest poets. He wrote his 'Nocturnal Journal' during the two years prior to his retirement. The journal appears here in conjunction with conversations tape-recorded by Marius Kociejowski in London.
Christopher Nibble
Christopher Nibble loves munching dandelion leaves. And he's not alone. All the guinea pigs in Dandeville eat dandelion leaves for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But no-one seems to do anything when the dandelions begin to dwindle. They just carry on munching. In fact the guinea pigs of Dandeville are heading for eco-disaster . . . But that's where Christopher Nibble steps in. He discovers the last dandelion growing outside his bedroom window and, rather than eat it, he does his horticultural research in the library and then nurtures the dandelion patiently until it has produced a perfect head of tiny seeds. Then he blows the seeds from a hill high over Dandeville so that each dandelion seedling takes root and grows into a new plant. Charlotte Middleton has illustrated her witty, quirky story with charming collage illustrations and her guinea pigs are the most endearing, funky little characters you are ever likely to meet.

Andalusian Poems
This stunning collection of poems opens up an entire world: the rich, virile, and highly literate Moslem culture of medieval Spain. This pioneering volume spans the full range of poetic emotion and enterprise, making this lost world of a millennium ago marvellously tangible, vivid and palpable. It pays special attention to the female poets, and to the evolution and meaning of the verse structures and songforms. This is a work of scholarly importance as well as a straightforward poetic pleasure.
111 Poems
Middleton, also well known as a translator of Nietzsche and Goethe, has been hailed by John Lucas as one of the most ""intelligent and serious of our English innovators, a poet with a disconcerting knack of making new in almost every poem."
The Student's Companion to Sociology
This superlative Companion provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the discipline of Sociology.
The Walk
Ranging from one-page fantasies to novella-length studies of everyday existence, The Walk reveals the irresistible genius of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. Under-appreciated even in his own lifetime, Robert Walser has nonetheless been recognised by such writers as W.G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, Franz Kafka, Herman Hesse and J.M. Coetzee. Like Kafka and Sebald, Walser wrote about the solitude and unease of human existence. Honest, wry and idiosyncratic, his stories are snapshots of the lives great artists, poor young men, beautiful women and talking animals alike. Ranging from the realist to the allegorical, the short fiction collected in this volume demonstrates Walser's uncanny ability to capture both life's strangeness and its small joys.
Intimate Chronicles
Middleton is one of the most extraordinary and extraordinarily neglected English poets. -- T.J.C. Harris.
