Early Modern Autobiography
Why, and in what ways, did late medieval and early modern English people write about themselves, and what was their understanding of how "selves" were made and discussed? This collection goes to the heart of current debate about literature and autobiography, addressing the contentious issues of what is meant by early modern autobiographical writing, how it was done, and what was understood by self-representation in a society whose groupings were both elaborate and highly regulated. Early Modern Autobiography considers the many ways in which autobiographical selves emerged from the late medieval period through the seventeenth century, with the aim of understanding the interaction between thos...
Apollonius of Tyre

A Killer Groove
In the rock and roll business, death promotes a hit song almost as well as sex. But trying to murder the entire band is taking things too far. Someone is killing off hard rockers Constant Black one by one, and while the band's social media profile is going through the roof, it's running out of musicians. Lukas Boston has to find out who is targeting the band, where the priceless tapes of a secret recording session are hidden, and avoid a pair of homicidal drug dealers. Lukas is pulled into a violent world of sex, drugs, rock'n'roll and murder. Fortunately, he's quite good at that sort of thing. Be warned, bass players are expendable.
Hung Out To Die
The body of Edward Rewold is discovered hanged in an abandoned warehouse and has a puzzling cryptic message—Lukas Boston's name is painted on his feet. It begins a bizarre investigation involving the stolen contents of a safe, a seaside markets populated by insane stall owners, and an evil corporation that decides on sending Lukas to the bottom of the harbour as the best solution to stop him poking his nose into its illegal business. For a change, someone is merely trying to drown Lukas, while an old enemy only wants to beat him to death with a pool cue. Normally, bad people are only trying to shoot him, but good times like that don't last forever... Welcome to the world of Lukas Boston, a private investigator, where even eating fish and chips can be murder.
The Unsung Artistry of George Orwell
In a timely and radically new reappraisal of George Orwell's fiction, Loraine Saunders reads Orwell's novels as tales of successful emancipation rather than as chronicles of failure. Contending that Orwell's novels have been undervalued as works of art, she offers extensive textual analysis to reveal an author who is in far more control of his prose than has been appreciated. Persuasively demonstrating that Orwell's novels of the 1930s such as A Clergyman's Daughter and Keep the Aspidistra Flying are no less important as literature than Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, Saunders argues they have been victims of a critical tradition whose practitioners have misunderstood Orwell's narrativ...
