In directing films such as If, This Sporting Life and O Lucky Man he championed a new wave of social responsiveness in British cinema, while as director at the Royal Court he was responsible for establishing the reputation of a number of groundbreaking plays.Throughout his life Anderson stood in opposition to the establishment of his day. Published for the first time, his diaries provide a uniquely personal document of his artistic integrity and vision, his work, and his personal and public struggles. Peopled by a myriad of artists and stars - Malcolm McDowell, Richard Harris, Albert Finney, Anthony Hopkins Brian Cox, Karel Reisz, Arthur Miller, George Michael - the Diaries provide a fascinating account of one of the most creative periods of British cultural life.

Beginning with a chapter entitled ''Things to Ponder While Waiting for Godot'', each essay deftly illuminates aspects of Beckett''s thinking and craft, making astute and often surprising discoveries along the way. In a series of beguiling discussions such as ''From Dada to Didi: Beckett and the Art of His Century'', ''Beckett''s Devious Interventions, or Fun with Cube Roots'' and ''The Seated Figure on Beckett''s Stage'', Brater proves the perfect companion and commentator on Beckett''s work, helping readers to approach it with fresh eyes and a renewed sense of the author''s unique aesthetic.
''An eloquent, witty and erudite collection of essays that illuminates Beckett''s drama and prose fiction from a number of complementary perspectives. Brater''s precise explication of the interwoven tropes of language and mise-en-scène is combined with a fine grasp of the overarching structure of work ... to create a rich and suggestive series of reflections on Beckett''s aesthetics.'' - Robert Gordon, Professor of Drama, Goldsmiths, University of London

''Throughout most of the years of my life, since approximately 1908, I have derived a considerable amount of private pleasure from writing verse . . . It is an inherent instinct in the English character.'' Beginning with his youthful verse experiments, The Complete Verse arranges in themed chapters Coward''s prolific public and personal verse writings. Chapters bring together his verse on a wide variety of subjects including war, the theatre, love, friends, travel, and God and the infinite.
It features the satirical ''cod-pieces'' - Chelsea Buns and Spangled Unicorn - and the verse collected in the 1967 volume Not Yet the Dodo. But alongside these are the verses sent to friends and family over many years, in letters, memos and cables, which paint a vivid portrait of his more private life and are published here for the first time.
With a linking commentary by editor Barry Day and sprinkled with illustrations throughout, The Complete Verse offers to Coward readers further enjoyment and appreciation of his wit, insatiable interest in people and skilful rendering of his public and private lives.

By the 1890s the British theatre had transformed itself into a world where spectacles and public shows were aimed at the widest audience possible. The theatre had become big business. This anthology brings together a variety of plays and prose which sets this phenomenon in perspective and traces the development of Victorian theatricals from private home events in the late-Georgian period to full-scale Gilbert and Sullivan operettas in the 1890s. The section ''Theatrical Behaviour'' looks at the world of the audience and includes extracts from Jane Austen''s novel Mansfield Park; Thackeray''s Vanity Fair; an anonymous playlet called Acting Proverbs; and an extract from Marie Corelli''s novel Sorrows of Satan. In ''Fun and Freaks'' we explore the world of popular, sensationalist entertainment through the eyes of Dickens, Thomas Hardy, Dion Boucicault and others. In the final section, ''Society'', we have the scripts for four principal melodramas and serious plays of the age: The Factory Lad by John Walker; Society by T.W. Robertson; The Mikado by W.S. Gilbert and The Second Mrs Tanqueray by Arthur Wing Pinero.

Brecht''s "Work Journals" cover the period from 1938 to 1955, the years of exile in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and America, and his return via Switzerland to East Berlin. His criticisms of the work of other writers and intellectuals are perceptive and polemic, and the accounts of his own writing practice provide insight into the creation of his dramatic works of the period, the development of his political thinking and his theories about epic theatre. Also integrated into the journals are Brecht''s immediate reactions to and commentary upon the events of the period: his political exile''s view of the course of World War II and his account of the House Un-American Activities committee.
"A marvellous, motley collage of political ideas, domestic detail, artistic debate, poems, photographs and cuttings from newspapers and magazines, assembled, undoubtedly for posterity by one of the great writers of the century" (New Statesman and Society)
