Soft cover. Condizione: Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Making For the Open. Slight mark to back cover from removal of old label. Slight shelf wear to bottom edge of cover. Few anthologies of contemporary poetry by women have the range or depth of this book. Drawing on work produced during the last twenty years, it contains a generous selection from Britain and America, as well as poems from Australia, Canada, Eastern Europe, El Salvador, Ireland, Israel, Russia, and many other countries. But it is not only the scope of the book which makes it unique. it is also remarkable for the fact that no writer has been included, or excluded, simply on the grounds of literary and social politics. The quality of the work alone, Carol Rumens says in her Introduction, must decide the argument for women to be taken seriously as poets. In this sense the book is post-feminist: while demonstrating that the struggle for women's freedom and justice has not been decisively and absolutely won, its authors have been able to choose not to concentrate exclusively on questions of gender and self-definition. At least within the circumscribed world of the poems, they are fully liberated. This book is a continuously engrossing and challenging anthology: one which celebrates the power of women as poets, and also illuminates broad issues of human rights - between countries as well as individuals. 151 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Chatto & Windus Edition. Paperback. Very slight crease to front cover. One of th4e most uniquely gifted writers of our time, M. F. K. Fisher has always been deeply drawn to the world of the old; and in this book she gives us fifteen remarkable insights into the art of ageing and living and dying. The importance of witnessing death, the extraordinary resilience of the opld, the passing of vanity and the losing of identiy, the mysteries and the numinous moments; all are explored unflinchingly yet sympathetically, and with the marvellous mixture of vividness and wit, instuition and exactitude, that is so characteristic of a writer of homw W.

Soft cover. Condizione: Good. 1st Hogarth Press Edition. Paperback. Marriage. Foxing to end inside covers and edge. Slight crease to corner front cover. New Introduction by Victoria Glendinning. A monoplane falling out of the sky on a hot afternoon can shatter the leisurely peace of a croquet game below. And an injured aviator like Geoffrey Trafford can quite disrupt the calm of a girl like Marjorie Pope. All obstacles - her modern views, her socialism, her cool engagement to the worldly Mr. Magnet - are swept away; and, as in every misguided fairy tale, 'the poor dears haven't the shaow of a doubt they will live happily ever after'. 376 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Hogarth Press Edition. Paperback. The Notebooks of Samuel Butler. Slight browning to edges of pages through age. One of our most original writers and thinkers, Samuel Butler always carried a small black notebook in his waistcoak pocket in which he jotted down such eternal epigrams, questions, anecdotes, oddities, fables - incisive asides on everything from God to Grapes, Wisdom to Window Cleaning. Writers as different as Virginia Woolf and George Bernard Shaw were among those influenced by Butler's 'fresh and future-piercing suggestions' and the Notebooks have long been regarded as containing his most hilarious and pungent writing. But, despite the temptation, be warned against reading them in a dentist's waiting room, a hushed library, or anywhere else where the sudden guffaw raises a steely glare. 438 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Signed by the author (Patric Dickinson) with a little picture under his name. Tiny crease to corner back cover. Another collection of poems by Patric Dickinson has always presented some development or new facet of his work. A Rift in Time is no exception. These lyrical poems have his own particular way of combining tenderness with wit, sympathy with the individual's isolation in time, and a sardonic acceptance of fate. This is counterbalanced by a relish for and sharpness of focus on the particular moment, and by the sudden wry and unexpected gesture of revolt. These new poems offer the reader work to savour, consider and enjoy. 46 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
