Synopsis

Edinburgh's spectral tales are more than mere folklore; they are echoes of a tangible past, deeply intertwined with the city's history and cultural identity. Edinburgh Ghosts delves into these narratives, revealing how historical traumas, social anxieties, and enduring cultural traditions have shaped the haunted landscape of Scotland's capital. From plague outbreaks to witch trials, Edinburgh's past has left an indelible mark, influencing the ghost stories that persist today. These tales aren't just fanciful; they serve as a collective memory, preserving and transmitting the city's complex past. The book explores key haunted locations like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, providing historical context for associated legends. It examines the literary influence of figures like Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter Scott, who amplified Edinburgh's eerie atmosphere in popular perception. Progressing through its chapters, the book illuminates the city's spectral reputation, explores the literary influences that shaped its ghostly image, and examines the modern context of Edinburgh’s ghost stories, including their role in tourism and contemporary media.

The Game Is Afoot - The Enduring...

Jeremy Black

Through the enduring eye of Sherlock Holmes, noted historian Jeremy Black traces how Holmes and his milieu evolved in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books and how Holmes continues to resonate today. Black explores the context of Doyle's ideas and stories and why they struck such a chord with readers in London, and ultimately the world. He portrays a complex man with eclectic interests, from soccer to spiritualism, from cricket to divorce law reform. Standing twice for Parliament, Doyle was a committed meritocrat whose political experiences and values were expressed through his writings. Reading the Holmes stories through the lens of Doyle's multifaceted career, Black throws fresh light on the values expressed in them and how Holmes would have been perceived at the time. He traces the imperial strand in the Holmes stories and Doyle's treatment of America and Europe. 
 
 
 
Drawing on a masterful knowledge both of Doyle's era and his writings, this entertaining and wide-ranging book uses the Holmes stories to bring Victorian England to vibrant life, a world where crimes large and small abound and where dark corners and well-lit drawing rooms alike hide villainy. Holmes was a hero and an inspiration for many a character who redefined the idea of detection and the detective, a private man of great public importance. Here is his story.

Lest We Forget: War and Peace in...

Tessa Dunlop

A moving account of how war is remembered – and by whom
'Impressive. A hundred individual histories, skillfully assembled, built into a poignant meditation on why they still matter' David Olusoga
'Brilliant' Piers Morgan
Bestselling historian Tessa Dunlop travels the length and breadth of the United Kingdom on a quest to uncover a story of national warring and national mourning, of fighting each other and of fighting together. Along the way, she summons a stellar cast of veterans, military experts and families of the fallen to reveal what our monuments and war heroes say about us, both then and now.
Why did Scotland take nearly 600 years to commemorate its most famous freedom fighter? When did Wellington become anti-Establishment? Who are the Glorious Dead? Can the Cenotaph stay above politics? And how do you commemorate contested, asymmetrical wars?
Through powerful veteran testimony from individuals such as Falklands hero Simon Weston and HRH The Duke of Kent, Tessa brings to life the pride and the pain of commemoration across these isles.
Lest We Forget, freedom is not free.
'In this wonderfully incisive, moving and timely book about commemoration, Dunlop breathes life into 100 British monuments – some famous, others less so – that together reveal our island story. A stunning achievement.' Saul David
Dunlop's latest work, Lest We Forget, is a top pick for history enthusiasts. This non-fiction book, set to be a bestseller, explores the conflicts that have shaped our nation and the heroes who have emerged from them.
For fans of Alexander Larman (Power and Glory), Sally Bedell Smith (Grace & Power), J. Randy Taraborrelli (Jackie, Janet & Lee), Betty Webb (No More Secrets), and Michael Smith (The Real Special Relationship).
