Fresca
Fresca: A Life in the Making is a detective story, cultural history, and love story. For Francesca Allinson (1902-1945), life and making art were synonymous, though both were cut short by suicide. Her story captures the topsy-turvy quality of a life singularly led; it shows how biography gets turned upside down in the making, and how the story of a single individual can throw the literary and social perspective of a time period into relief. British-German Jewish Allinson's fictional autobiography, A Childhood, made it onto Leonard and Virginia Woolf's The Hogarth Press list in 1937. Writer, musicologist, puppeteer, and pacifist, Allinson published with the Woolfs, dueled with Ralph Vaughan W...
Leonard and Virginia Woolf, The Hogarth Press and the Networks of Modernism
This multi-authored volume, newly available in paperback, focuses on Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press (1917-1941). Scholars from the UK and the US use previously unpublished archival materials and new methodological frameworks to explore the relationships forged by the Woolfs via the Press and to gauge the impact of their editorial choices on writing and culture. Combining literary criticism, book history, biography and sociology, the chapters weave together the stories of the lesser known authors, artists and press workers with the canonical names linked to the press following a 'rich, dialogic' forum or network.The book brings together a wide range of thematic material in three s...
Scholarly Adventures in Digital Humanities
This book addresses the gap between print and digital scholarly approaches by combining both praxis and theory in a case study of a new international collaborative digital project, the Modernist Archives Publishing Project (MAPP). MAPP is an international collaborative digital project, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, that uses digital tools to showcase archival traces of twentieth-century publishing. The twenty-first century has witnessed, and is living through, some of the most dynamic changes ever experienced in the publishing industry, arguably altering our very understanding of what it means to read a book. This book brings to both general readers and scholarly researchers a new way of accessing, and thereby assessing, the historical meanings of change within the twentieth-century publication industry by building a resource which organises, interacts with, and uses historical information about book culture to narrate the continuities and discontinuities in reading and publishing over the last century.

Self-regulation of the press
The system of self-regulation of the press was constructed in 1991 in the wake of the Calcutt Inquiry 1990 (Cm.2135, ISBN 978011213523). This report, by the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, has been prompted by recent invents, including the conviction of Mr Clive Goodman, the royal editor of the News of the World, for interception of communications without lawful authority, and the press pursuit of Ms Kate Middleton, the girlfriend of HRH Prince William, where the Committee believes the press did not observe its own code of practice and where editors failed to take care not to use pictures obtained through harassment and persistent pursuit. The Committee feels the Press Complaints Commiss...

Call TV quiz shows
Call TV quiz shows are an example of television programmes provided by commercial broadcasters in order to increase their revenue. The viewer watches the live broadcast, then sends a text message or makes a premium rate telephone call in order to take part, with the broadcaster keeping a proportion of the call revenue. The Culture Committee has decided to examine this development, and whether some form of regulation is required since the programmes seem to be another means of gambling, with some members of the public complaining about them. This report therefore has set out a number of recommendations as to how broadcasters and regulators should address this. The Committee states that there ...

Ticket touting
Surveys the whole ticket market, attitudes to secondary selling, the scale of the secondary market, legislation relevant to secondary selling, and what the industries have done to tackle touting.
