"This is the only general survey of British publishing as a history over the twentieth century. It aims to look at how publishing companies and their owners and staffs were organised and how their output responded to the wider social, economic and cultural trends of the period. It concentrates on the key figures like William Heinemann, Allen Lane, Paul Hamlyn and Robert Maxwell but also looks at less well known but often very significant figures whose contributions were also vital. The study reveals a fascinating and dynamic industry that was influential not only for literary history, but also for the history of education, and general cultural history at home and abroad. Its spread is broad and it considers not only fiction and trade publishing but also scholarly, academic, scientific, children's, technical, medical and professional publishing. It reveals a fascinating tale of creative genius, individual endeavour, personal idiosyncrasy, occasional duplicity and bad behaviour and far-sighted vision that over the century made British book publishing the best in the world and still underlies its role today"--BLACKWELL'S.

The enemy is on its way, but this time it doesn't have guns and gas it has storms and earthquakes, fire and brimstone.... You were the glimmer. At the end of the tunnel. And you went out. Earthquakes in London is a fast and furious metropolitan crash of people, scenes and decades, as three sisters attempt to navigate their dislocated lives and loves, while their dysfunctional father, a brilliant scientist, predicts global catastrophe. The play deals, through amplified theatricality, with a range of contemporary issues from population growth to climate change. An all-pervasive fear of the future and a gui...
Applied Theatre: Economies
La 4e de couverture indique : "Part One addresses longstanding concerns in the field about the effects of economic conditions and funding relationships on applied theatre practice.
