Softcover. cover design by Craig Dodd (illustratore). 1st edition. [9], 115 p.; 21.5 cm. Epigraph from Lilith, by George MacDonald: "`Upon occasion',said the sexton at length,`it is more convenient to put one's bird-self in front. Everyone, as you ought to know, has a beast-self,a bird-self, and a stupid fish-self, aye, and a creeping-serpent self too--which it takes a deal of crushing to kill. In truth he has also a tree-self and a crystal-self, and I don't know how many selves more--all to get into harmony. You can tell what sort a man is by his creature that comes oftenest to the front.'" -- "Freedom in love is not after all a theory or a clever paradox; it is simply the experience of Christian life as it actually is. Don't be conformed to the world, says Paul;be transformed by the Spirit,and go out into the world in God's power. Put aside doubt, self-absorption, morbid fears, sick wishes and fantasies; put on the new life and healing of Christ." (101) -- "The Christian way with sex is a clear one; marriage or chastity are the two ideals. By `marriage', I mean Christian marriage as it has always been understood in the church, but with the recognition that some men and women who are wholly homosexual and do not choose chastity seek a lifelong union with someone of their own sex, governed by the same principles of love. By `chastity', I mean not fear of sex,or sterile abstinence,but a life in which love purges, or seeks to purge, every element of inappropriate eroticism from itself. Is this a stern doctrine? Not if the idea is celebrated with joyfulness, and failures are repented with hope. Not if human beings are taken really seriously, and love is an occasion for rejoicing and mirth."

The Black Papers were a series of articles on British education, published from 1969 to 1977 in the Critical Quarterly; their name intended as a contrast to government White Papers. The Black Papers were not opposed in principle to progressive education, only to its excesses, which were rampant in British schools in the 1960s and 1970s. They criticised selection for grammar schools at the age of eleven and advocated it should be delayed until children were at least thirteen years of age. They criticised the student sit-ins which were damaging the reputation of British universities.The editors became leaders in a national campaign; today the Black Paper proposals for schools by and large are accepted by both the Conservative and Labour Parties in Britain.
