Summary

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, 
 
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ' 
 
It is one of the most enduring scenes of American literature; an eerie winter evening full of memories and ghosts, when a bereaved man comes face to face with a strange bird utterin the foreboding phrase 'Nevermore'.  Edgar Allan Poe's celebrated poem 'The Raven' is a haunting elegy of loss and mourning that has resonates with readers for over 150 years.  
 
This handsome edition sets the text alongside the famous illustrations by Gustave Dore, which capture and enhance the brooding atmosphere of the poem and the psychological turmoil of its subject.  The book is completed with other poems fromPoe's acclaimed 1845 collection including 'Tamerlane', 'A Dream', and 'The Valley of Unrest'.

    In May 1926, Britain grinds to a halt, as workers down tools for the General Strike.
With the printing presses shut down, the only sources of news are the government's British Gazette, edited by Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill, and the independent, fledgling British Broadcasting Company, led by John Reith. The stage is set for a fierce battle over control of the news and who gets to define the truth.
Jack Thorne's play When Winston Went To War With The Wireless is a gripping play about the birth of a great British institution and its efforts to stay impartial. It premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in June 2023, directed by Katy Rudd, with Stephen Campbell Moore as Reith, Adrian Scarborough as Churchill, and Haydn Gwynne as Stanley Baldwin.

    The poet Kabir, one of the most intriguing and celebrated personalities in the history of Indian mysticism, lived in the fifteenth century. He was a great religious reformer and left behind an exquisite body of poetry of enlightenment that weaves together the philosophies of Sufism, Hinduism, and the Kabbala. These poems express a wide range of mystical experience, from the loftiest abstractions to the most intimate and personal realization of God, and have become a classic Sufi text.
