That Time Everything Was On Fire
'A wonderful book, with the beauty, warmth and solidarity of female friendship at its core' 'An excellent debut novel from a writer with a very perceptive take on modern womanhood' 'So good, so addictive, so relatable and so realistic!' *** Sam and Daisy have been best friends since university. Back then Daisy was a wild, Fleetwood Mac-obsessed girl descended from the Yorkshire Moors, while Sam’s youth was misspent traipsing around Liverpool on shopping trips and nights out. But as they lean against each other on a wooden bench in the tired garden of their beloved local pub, gazing out at Sam’s wedding, they have no idea that their paths are about to truly diverge for the first time. As Sam’s desire to become a mother consumes her, and Daisy’s inability to resist temptation haunts her, these best of friends will lose sight of themselves – and each other. With each misstep and unintentional betrayal the gulf widens. But can they build a bridge, or will they let it burn? *** 'An assured and clever debut' Kate Kemp, author of The Grapevine 'Warm, witty and deeply romantic' Lauren Bravo, author of Probably Nothing ‘Heart-warming, funny and so relatable’ Laura Dockrill, author of I Love You, I Love You, I Love You ‘Spending time with the characters – in their hope, uncertainty and banter – was like being amongst friends’ Gabrielle Griffiths, author of Greater Sins ‘A heartfelt kaleidoscope of female friendship’ Roxy Dunn, author of As Young as This ‘A must-read full of heart’ Stephanie Steel, author of The Train from Platform 2 ‘A touching, true-to-life story of friendship, the tensions and pressures of your thirties, and proper Northern representation’ Sarah Handyside, author of Instructions for Heartbreak ‘Sharp and observant, warm and touching’ Bonnie Burke-Patel, author of Dead as Gold ‘Warm, witty and charming, reading That Time Everything Was on Fire feels like gossiping with your best mates in a pub garden and finally feeling the sun on your skin after a long winter’ Marni Appleton, author of I Hope You’re Happy ‘A beautiful ode to the female friendships that carry us through our lives, with all their many complications’ Silvia Saunders, author of Homesick ‘A heartfelt and timely debut’ Elspeth Wilson, author of These Mortal Bodies

Constructing Female Terrorism
News media reporting on female political violence invariably portrays the perpetrators as duped, naive and exploited, acting from personal rather than political motivations, as anomalous intruders in a masculine realm and de-feminized as monsters. By diminishing their agency, the challenge that women’s violence poses to the gendered national order is contained. Drawing on five comparative case studies spanning more than 70 years of militant campaigns against the UK and France, this book interrogates how media representations of politically violent women are shaped by gender, race, religion, class and geography. It considers how women’s political violence is framed, what influences these portrayals, and what ideological work they perform. In answering these questions, the book reveals how these representations operate as a battleground where the nation’s gendered boundaries are defined and defended, and the national order is reproduced.
Athens and Sparta
Two great cities. One fierce rivalry. Countless untold stories. Athens and Sparta were the two big players in Ancient Greece. United, they helped lead the Greeks in defeating the great Persian invasion. Divided, they spread conflict and destruction throughout the eastern Mediterranean. They were not simply rivals for power, but polar opposites in culture and ideology: Athens was the outward looking, radical democracy with a maritime empire whilst Sparta was militaristic, rigidly disciplined and brutal. Both were experiments in how to run a state, epitomising the extremes of the Greek longing to excel. This is a story of politics and war, but also of culture. In Athens, philosophers dissected the physical and moral world, writers spun forth comedy and drama, and new ideas filled the city. Athens could be vulgar and cruel, but no other state has ever allowed thousands of citizens to debate its laws freely. Sparta was innovative in other ways, with a society divided into strict class groups and an astonishing focus on military training. Both cities were paradoxes – they were at once remarkably ordered and surprisingly prone to savagery. Athens and Sparta tells a remarkable story of the drama and extremity of human behaviour. It draws on ancient sources and modern discoveries and boasts a wide-ranging cast of characters – statesmen, lawgivers, rabble-rousers, philosophers, artists, courtesans, wives and heroes. The history of these cities truly is a microcosm of the human experience, in all its wonder and horror.

Outsider Everywhere
In August 1939, a ship flying the Polish flag docked in Buenos Aires. On board was a delegation of businessmen, diplomats and journalists. Days later, the captain received orders to return home with all crew and passengers in light of the imminent outbreak of the Second World War. But one man, fascinated by the city, chose to stay at the very last minute. Thus began the unexpected twenty-four-year Argentine exile of one of the twentieth century’s major writers: Witold Gombrowicz. Drawing on his writings and interviews with surviving disciples, writers and scholars, Mercedes Halfon’s Outsider Everywhere traces Gombrowicz’s Argentine years in elegant, pared-back prose, and composes a vivid account of mid-century bohemia in Buenos Aires. Brilliantly translated by Rahul Bery, Mercedes Halfon’s Outsider Everywhere is a gripping portrait of a literary figure on the margins who rose to prominence late in life to become ‘one of the greatest novelists of our century’ (Milan Kundera).
The Anglo-Saxon Minsters of Winchester
This three-volume work offers a comprehensive study of Winchester’s three Anglo-Saxon minsters – Old Minster, New Minster and Nunnaminster/St Mary’s Abbey – together with their cemeteries, domestic buildings, and elements absorbed into the Norman cathedral including the setting for the cult of St Swithun. Scientific evidence, and documentary, architectural, and artistic sources are woven into the results of the major excavations carried out on the sites of Old and New Minster between 1961 and 1970, and later work on Nunnaminster/St Mary’s Abbey, to present a new synthesis of Winchester’s ecclesiastical landscape. Volume 1 explores the archaeology of the first church, its documented origins in the mid-seventh century, and north Italian inspiration. It traces the architectural and liturgical development of Old Minster into a major complex celebrating the cult of St Swithun, its design inspired by the Tomb of Christ in Jerusalem. Documentary sources for the foundation of New Minster, the memorial church for the house of Wessex, on the Frankish model of Saint-Denis, are examined; archaeological evidence, though less extensive, confirms its final scale and magnificence before its documented removal to Hyde Abbey. The destruction and robbing of the two minsters during the building of the Norman cathedral are detailed. Volume 2 analyses burial practices in the Old and New Minster cemeteries, and their British and Continental parallels. Their evolution into the medieval Paradise cemetery follows, with the later ‘memorial court’ focused on St Swithun’s original burial place. Key finds are summarized, including gold braids from the probable grave of the ninth-century prince Athelstan. The architectural setting in Winchester Cathedral of St Swithun’s cult is examined. The archaeology and history of Nunnaminster and its successor St Mary’s Abbey are explored. The wider context for the Minsters as part of the evolution of Winchester as royal power centre is summarized. An appendix reviews cross-plan churches in the Byzantine empire and Europe. In addition to the illustrations with the text, Volume 3 contains detailed plans and sections, photographs, phasing charts, and images of manuscripts, artefacts and comparative churches.

Manitoba
Třetí sbírka Davida Vody (nar. 1976), básníka a historika umění, je jako spirála, která se napíná, smršťuje, roste. Jeho poezie pulzuje od hmotného k duchovnímu a zpět. Lze jí propadnout jako papírovým dnem. Vidět ji v barevných kostkách poskládaných na holé zemi. Slyšet ji v altu hortenzií. Dotýkat se jí, když kráčíš po dně vrásky kolem milovaných úst. David Voda ve své Manitobě tvoří vše nové. Z nápisů tužkou po bílé stěně, z ladění zvonů, bzukotu pump, bobulí pámelníku, ze světla, v němž žijeme. Manitoba je v řeči kmene Krí místo, kde se prérie úží, aby duch prošel uchem jehly. Mezi životem a smrtí je trhlina, předkové přicházejí, aby pojedli z našich talířů, a mizejí syti našimi úlitbami. Kosmem zní jazyk jako chůze, láme bochníky sněhu, drtí skořápky popelavých vajec. Do úžiny ducha lze vstoupit odkudkoli, jen položit klepadla na své spánky.

These poems are a nuanced and sometimes painfully honest portrait of life as a new mother, and her hopes and terrors for a daughter growing up in a world of violence towards women and girls. Throughout, fears and tensions are paired seamlessly with moments of great tenderness, wit and revelation: these poems always offer a way out.The House of Broken Things is a thrilling new work from one of our boldest and most exciting poets.
