The Glossa Ordinaria
The Glossa Ordinaria on the Bible was the ubiquitous text of the Middle Ages.

In doing so, Russel reveals the personal tragedy and political importance of this extraordinary place. -- adapted from jacket.
Harry's Last Stand
'A kind of epic poem, one that moves in circular fashion from passionate denunciation to intense autobiographical reflection ... should be required reading for every MP, peer, councillor, civil servant and commentator. The fury and sense of powerlessness that so many people feel at government policy beam out of every page.' The Guardian 'It is not enough to read Harry's record of the struggles and hopes of a generation – we have to re-assert his principles of common ownership and the welfare state. If Harry can do it, we should too!' Ken Loach, Director of I, Daniel Blake 'As one of the last remaining survivors of the Great Depression and the Second World War, I will not go gently into tha...
