The Anatomy of Bibliomania
Inspects the allure of books, their curative and restorative properties, and the passion for them that leads to bibliomania. This title comments on why we read, where we read - on journeys, at mealtimes, on the toilet (this has 'a long but mostly unrecorded history'), in bed, and in prison - and what happens to us when we read.

The Eighteen Nineties
This remains the classic and sparkling survey of the great awakening of culture in the 1890s. Indeed, it is a book almost as well-known as many of the works of art, literature and people it describes and evaluates. It is quite unambiguously the standard work on the raffish, scandalous, tempestuous 'yellow nineties' of Wilde, Beardsley, Beerbohm and the rest.
