White Debt
When Thomas Harding discovered that his family had profited from slavery, he set out to interrogate the choices of his ancestors and Britain's role in this terrible history. His investigation took him to Demerara (now Guyana), the site of an uprising by enslaved people in 1823, the largest in the British Empire and a key trigger in the abolition of slavery. Charting the dramatic build-up to this landmark event through the eyes of four people - an enslaved man, a missionary, a colonist, and a slaveholder - Harding lays bare the true impact of years of unimaginable cruelty and incredible courage and asks how those who benefitted from slavery can take responsibility for the White Debt.

The Christmas Book
The Christmas Bookis a treasure chest full of fascinating facts surrounding the myths and magic of Christmas. The traditional nativity story conjures up images of the inn, the stable, shepherds, and the three wise men. But there is much more to the history ofnbsp;the holidaynbsp;than most people are aware. Patrick Harding delves deep into the background of the Christmas ritualsnbsp;that are often takennbsp;granted: sending cards, singing carols, eating turkey, and of course,nbsp;the arrival of Santa Claus. This is an absorbing and festive read for those who want to know more about Yuletidenbsp;traditions and those intrigued by folklore and history.
Regulated Hatred and Other Essays on Jane Austen
D.W. Harding was a rarity amongst literary critics since his academic career was passed as Professor of Psychology. Yet this professional occupation never obtruded. As Professor Knights writes in his Foreword, as a critic 'he was one of the most sanely subtle or subtly sane) of his generation'. His title essay, 'Regulated Hatred', altered the course of Austen criticism, and this selection from the best of his writing about his favourite author (some of it previously unpublished) will be an important landmark in Austen criticism.
