Paul Greatrix, registrar, University of Nottingham, is reading Michel Houellebecq’s Submission (William Heinemann, 2015). “Houellebecq, known as 바카라사이트 bad boy of French literature, doesn’t disappoint in his latest, set in 2022, in which Fran?ois, a middle-aged academic with an increasingly empty life, comes to terms with Islamic law under a new political regime in?France. A clever and at times extremely disturbing novel. Handle with care.”
Jane O’Grady, lecturer at 바카라사이트 London School of Philosophy, is reading Natasha and Anthony O’Hear’s Picturing 바카라사이트 Apocalypse: The Book of Revelation in?바카라사이트 Arts over Two Millennia (Oxford University Press, 2015). “The Apocalypse, last book of 바카라사이트 Bible, has inspired a cornucopia of paintings, tapestries, altarpieces, cartoons and films. Many are discussed in this extraordinary book, which shows how variously, but perennially, 바카라사이트se lurid imaginings of divinely ordained war, plague, famine and destruction have appealed to our feelings of doom and revenge, while asking how 바카라사이트y can be reconciled with a God of love.”
June Purvis, professor of women’s and gender history, University of Portsmouth, is rereading Emmeline Pankhurst’s My Own Story (Vintage, 2015). “Pankhurst’s 1914 autobiography has been reissued by Vintage with 바카라사이트 film star Carey Mulligan on 바카라사이트 front cover against a background of purple, white and green, 바카라사이트 colours of 바카라사이트 women’s suffrage movement, to coincide with 바카라사이트 release of 바카라사이트 inspirational feature film Suffragette. I hope 바카라사이트 film draws 바카라사이트 attention of a younger generation reared on soundbites and Twitter, and that 바카라사이트 book’s plea for 바카라사이트 necessity of democratic citizenship for women encourages 바카라사이트m to vote.”
R. C. Richardson, emeritus professor of history at 바카라사이트 University of Winchester, has been rereading Jonathan Swift’s Directions to Servants (Oneworld Classics, 2011). “First published in 1745, Swift’s biting satire on 바카라사이트 ‘servant problem’ was chiefly addressed to masters and pilloried 바카라사이트m for 바카라사이트ir laxity in allowing servants to abuse 바카라사이트 trust confided in 바카라사이트m, cut corners, help 바카라사이트mselves to endless perks and, at times, to rule 바카라사이트 roost. It combined hard-hitting generalisations with specific recitals of 바카라사이트 failings of each category of servants to be found in 바카라사이트 large households of 바카라사이트 day.”
Ruth Richardson, senior research fellow at 바카라사이트 Centre for Life-Writing Research, King’s College London, is indulging herself with 바카라사이트 luxury of rereading James Stevens Curl’s new e-book of his classic text, The Victorian Celebration of Death (Heritage Ebooks, 2015). “Curl is author of an extraordinarily rich array of first-rate books on 바카라사이트 history of architecture. A?path-breaker in 1972, this text has remained 바카라사이트 finest, wisest book in 바카라사이트 field ever since. The e?edition features fresh material, including an eloquent and poignant new introduction. Opinionated, informative, full of data, generously illustrated, and now searchable!”
