Designed by Providence
Designed by Providence was a manuscript uncovered by the author's son and grandson many years after it was first written. As it was never intended for publication, the work has an intimate, personal tone. It is a tribute to early British literature but is set within a post-war context. It tells of a man who, on the way to London, makes an unscheduled stop in the town of Lambton. This unexpected visitor is greeted with mixed hospitality, but his presence nonetheless has an affect on the town and its future. A thematic element in the story is the interesting relationship between time atnd words, words and a machine. The author offers insightful thoughts on what this relationship means and how it applies to modern society

This is a timely book, coming as a "Bridie Revival" becomes more frequently discussed in theatre circles. Dr. Mardon has contributed to the revival of interest in this outstanding dramatist by producing this study in depth of the social themes and the characters who act out these dramatic conflicts between the individual and society which are shown in the six plays of James Bridie. Three pre- and three post-World War II plays have been selected to give the widest range of illustration from Bridie's repertoire - The Switchback (1928), The Anatomist (1930), The Last Trump (1938), with Dr. Angelus (1947), Daphne Laureola (1949), and Mr. Gillie (1954).
The Narrative Unity of the Cursor Mundi
The Cursor Mundi is a long religious epic of 25 000 lines, a survey of man's view of the world as it appeared to an anonymous cleric living in the fourteenth century. The poem is unique in that it is the first work of this kind written in the English language since the Norman Conquest. It is also the most comprehensive treatment in the vernacular during the Middle Ages, of all the most important events in the religious history of the world. The purpose of Dr. Mardon's study is to show the artistic unity, achieved by skillful blending of prophecy and legend, of one of the most remarkable pieces of medieval literature. The book provides an eminently readable and interesting introduction to the longer poem, the author quoting generously from the original Early English text. A useful addition to the book list of the student dealing with the literature of this important period.
