These fascinating letters between Vera Brittain and Winifred Holtby tell the story of an extraordinary friendship.''A beautiful collection'' Daisy Dunn, Sunday Times''Completely fascinating'' Rachel Cooke, Observer''Lively, perceptive and immaculately edited'' Miranda Seymour, Literary Review''A moving, unvarnished chronicle of intellectual comradeship'' Sarah Watling, Telegraph A literary relationship that began when the women met at Somerville College, Oxford, in 1919, it lasted until Winifred''s early death at the age of thirty-seven. The letters, written from 1920 to 1935, kept them ''continuously together'', and show us the life of two pioneers who wished to make their mark as writers and campaigners. Each encouraged and advised the other. However, there were periods when they were literary rivals. Winifred landed a book deal first; Vera produced an international bestseller with Testament of Youth; and the letters show them negotiating envy and self-doubt. It was at times an uneven relationship: Vera, more than four years older, was married and had two children during this period, while Winifred, a single woman with an adventurous spirit, travelled and made a wide range of friends. As the heroine of her novel South Riding says, ''I was born to be a spinster and by God, I''m going to spin!'' Vera ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The title of Elaine Beckett’s debut collection suggests a process of unstoppable change. Moments of personal and global crisis are juxtaposed, and examined from different perspectives so that her poems reveal how humanity is in a constant state of flux. This is ambitious work, acute in its commitment to the truth of lived experience. Beckett’s watch-maker’s eye for detail, impeccable ear, and intricate use of poetic form, reveal truths with a compassion that moves her work way beyond the confessional. Arranged in seven short sequences, that spiral round themes of loss, betrayal, delight and re-birth, this is a beautifully wrought collection; at times hard hitting and painful, yet funny and moving, and always surprising. ‘Occasionally a poet comes along pretty much fully formed. That is what I felt when I first read Elaine Beckett’s poems. Not only her voice - brazen, tender, angry and funny - but how it’s held in structures of great poise and resonance.

Je vaše dítě… citlivé téměř na vše - škrábající oblečení, nezvyklé chutě, hlasité zvuky a změnu v navyklém denním režimu? Má bohatou fantazii, často sní, bojí se strašidelných filmů anebo bývá nesmělé a stydlivé v nových situacích? Je snadno zranitelné, špatně snáší kritiku a vždy se snaží udělat vše správně? Pokud ano, možná patří k 15 až 20 procentům dětí, které se rodí vysoce citlivé, to znamená, že nad vším hluboce přemýšlejí, vnímají i jemné podněty, detaily a nuance a bývají snadno zahlcené. Díky těmto vlastnostem může být vaše dítě velmi inteligentní, svědomité a tvořivé, ale pokud se mu nedostává správné výchovy anebo vhodného přístupu ve škole, může být neobvykle plaché či stydlivé anebo přehnaně emocionální. Jen málo rodičů a učitelů však chápe skutečnou příčinu tohoto jeho chování, v důsledku čehož bývají vysoce citlivé děti často označovány jako nejisté, stydlivé, ustrašené anebo malicherné či bývají považovány za „problémové děti“ (nebo jim dokonce bývá mylně diagnostikována porucha pozornosti). V této průkopnické knize vám psychoterapeutka Elaine Aron vysvětlí, že pokud se vám či vašemu okolí zdá, že vaše dítě trpí uvedenými problémy, ve skutečnosti může být pouze vysoce citlivé.

The Real and the RomanticThe devastation of World War I left the art world decentered and directionless. This book is about its recovery. Spalding explores how exciting new ideas coexisted with a desire for continuity and a renewed interest in the past. We see the challenge to English artists represented by Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso, and the role played by museums and galleries in this period. Women artists, writers, and curators contributed to the emergence of a new avant-garde. The English landscape was revisited in modern terms.The 1930s marked a high point in the history of modernism in Britain, but the mood darkened with the prospect of a return to war. The former advance toward abstraction and internationalism was replaced by a renewed concern with history, place, memory, and a sense of belonging. Native traditions were revived in modern terms but in ways that also let in the past. Surrealism further disturbed the ascetic purity of high modernism and fed into the British love of the strange.Throughout these years, the pursuit of “the real” was set against, and sometimes merged with, an inclination towards the “romantic,” as English artists sought to respond to their subjects and their times.

Ernö Goldfinger (1902-1987) is noted for his pre-war Hampstead house, preserved with all its contents by the National Trust, and for his high-rise housing of the late 1960s. These buildings bookend a long and varied career as a modernist who thought deeply about domestic space, cities and the constructional discipline of architecture. Inspired by his teacher Auguste Perret, he carried the spirit of 1920s Paris to enliven the English architectural scene. Goldfinger offered imaginative alternatives to standard solutions for post-war schools, housing and offices, and excelled at the composition of clusters of free-standing buildings as well as fitting neatly into existing streets. An unexpected aspect of his work was the collaboration with Paul and Marjorie Abbatt, founders of Britain’s first modernist toy business. Based on thorough research in Goldfinger’s extensive archive and close knowledge of the full range of his projects, this book provides an accessible and generously illustrated account of a fascinating figure. Having worked together over two decades on pioneering studies of twentieth century British architecture that contributed to long-term conservation, Alan Powers and Elain Harwood added Goldfinger to their list, but sadly, it is the last in the line, as Elain died in 2023, having delivered the ...
