The Mighty Oak
The Mighty Oak has a significant place in the cultural, economic and military history of England - and of Great Britain - and is the best known tree in the forest. The oak tree produced fruit that fed ancient people; its timbers could be cut, sawn and carved for use in a wide variety of settings including barns, boats and houses; its bark was used for tanning and its galls for making ink. Whilst the focus of British military history has rightly been on the heroic deeds of her armies, there is another story to be told as the Nation became the world's leading industrial power and it was Chatham's Royal Dockyard, the Block Mill at Portsmouth and the Royal Ordnance Depot at Weedon, that played an equal, but unsung, part in the defeat of Napoleon. The Royal Navy was always known as the Wooden Walls of England. -- publisher's website.

Conrad, Language, and Narrative
In this re-evaluation of the writings of Joseph Conrad, Michael Greaney places language and narrative at the heart of his literary achievement. A trilingual Polish expatriate, Conrad brought a formidable linguistic self-consciousness to the English novel; tensions between speech and writing are the defining obsessions of his career. He sought very early on to develop a 'writing of the voice' based on oral or communal modes of storytelling. Greaney argues that the 'yarns' of his nautical raconteur Marlow are the most challenging expression of this voice-centred aesthetic. But Conrad's suspicion that words are fundamentally untrustworthy is present in everything he wrote. The political novels of his middle period represent a breakthrough from traditional storytelling into the writerly aesthetic of high modernism. Greaney offers an examination of a wide range of Conrad's work which combines recent critical approaches to language in post-structuralism with an impressive command of linguistic theory.
