Published in 1860, The Mill on the Floss was the second novel published by George Eliot (the pen name of Mary Ann Evans). Byatt provides full explanatory notes and an introduction relating Mill on the Floss to George Eliot's own life and times.

As their world and Teresas intersect, theyre haunted by the echo of something that happened 160 years ago. Theyve barely started rehearsing when strange things begin to happen.

He retains political currency as well, as anyone will recall who felt the shock of recognition at the crowning moment of the 1992 Democratic convention as the film of Bill Clinton meeting Kennedy rolled. ![]() Since youth means money in Ponce de León's America, Kennedy is a hot commodity, always - not merely for an adoring public of nostalgia buffs but for the taste shapers who still draw on his power to sell books, magazines and tabloids. Kennedy is no ordinary subject, and despite the incomprehensible fact that he would have turned 86 this May, he remains perpetually young, frozen in time like a flower pressed into the pages of an old book of poetry.

The situations vary considerably, from Penelope’s imminent reunion with her husband after twenty years apart, to several who knew that they could never be reunited and chose suicide. The first series, consisting of letters 1 to 15, are fictional letters written by a woman, one of Ovid’s heroines, to her partner during a time of separation. The genre has developed considerably since, although it remains limited in scope and popularity. The Heroides consist of two series of letters, and Ovid claimed that they established a new genre of epistolary (poetic) fiction. ![]() Bizarrely, it was after the critical attention that they received during the nineteenth century that they declined in popularity. Until the late nineteenth century, they were among his most popular works, at times better-known than his Metamorphoses. One of Ovid’s most controversial works, his Heroides (which means ‘heroines’) could have been written early in his career, or quite late, and some have claimed that few of its letters were even written by him. ![]() ![]() ![]() Roman soldiers have a nasty habit of setting light to things, too.

Dear readers, tonight with me is the wife of an officer in Hadrian’s legions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The war, which cost the lives of over 1000 men, has left a legacy of many historical debates and controversies, from the sinking of ships such as HMS Coventry, HMS Sheffield and Sir Galahad, and the Argentinian cruiser, the Belgrano, to wider issues such as what was it like to command and fight a modern air and naval war, the biggest naval action since the Second World War. In his memoirs, Admiral Sandy Woodward, Task Force commander from the aircraft carrier Hermes, take us from day one to day 100 of the conflict from sailing through the waters of the Atlantic with hopes of a political settlement fading, and war becoming increasingly likely, to the repulse of the Argentinian navy and the daring amphibious landing at San Carlos Water. On 5 April 1982, three days after the invasion of the Falkland Islands, British armed forces were ordered to sail 8,000 miles to the South Atlantic unaware of what lay ahead of them or whether they would be committed to war with Argentina. This account of the Falklands War is by the commander of the British Task Force, Admiral Sandy Woodward. ![]() |
