Eleven essays representing a fresh engagement, from a variety of critical positions, with the tales and nouvelles of Henry James. The collection contains new studies of well-known stories, such as 'Daisy Miller' and 'The Aspern Papers', and explorations of neglected areas, for example James's earliest signed stories from the 1860s, and such strikingly individual works as 'Glasses' and 'The Great Good Place'. The contributors include several of today's most prominent Jamesians, among them Tony Tanner, Barbara Hardy, Millicent Bell and Adrian Poole.

This volume is a new annotated edition of J.H. Prynne's 1983 poem The Oval Window, making use of photographs taken by the poet at the time and place of composition, together with a substantial portfolio supplied by him of source and reference material. This source material includes political and economic news published during the period in early autumn 1983 when the poem was written, together with extracts from literature, Eastern and Western philosophy, optics, anatomy, computer programming language, and a considerable quantity of ancient Chinese poetry. The edition has two commentary essays: the first primarily concerned with approaches to reading, including the use of search engines, and with the relations between different elements in the work, and the second with the topography and the critical antecedents of the poem. For ease of reading, a clean reading text is included as well as the annotated text. The expanded third edition of Prynne's Poems (2015) was published by Bloodaxe in 2015.

I will not be killed, I will not be killed I havethings to do I will not be killed like this I willnot be killed like this . . .To tie in with the release of DUNKIRK on 21st July and to accompany the film tie-in which “explores the harrowing true stories that inspired the epic action thriller”, here is a true account by one of the heroic volunteers who came to the rescue, first published just two years after the incredible evacuation.Arthur Gwynn-Browne volunteered in 1939, aged 35. Less than six months later, after basic training, his unit, the F.S.P. (Field Security Personnel), was in France. Caught up in the columns of soldiers and refugees fleeing to the coast, Gwynn-Browne endured shelling and aerial bombardment on the beach at Dunkirk before finally scrambling aboard a rescue craft, returning to the surreal calm of a Britain itself under threat of invasion.Absorbing, affecting, thrilling, often humorous, F.S.P. was the first on-the-ground account of the Dunkirk evacuation to be published, in 1942. Gwynn-Browne’s extraordinarily innovative style perfectly evokes the soldiers’ emotional slide through optimism, apprehension and utter fear to a bitter sense of defeat. The result is a stunningly authentic and involving record of a pivotal moment in the war. Back in print after sixty years, F.S.P. is a remarkable rediscovery, unique in the literature of battle.
