  Much has been written on the Theory of History by philosophers and historiologists, but nothing so concise and readable as Liddell Hart’s Why Don’t We Learn from History; the kind of title that makes one wonder and consider. And consider we certainly should in an era when so much bad history and propaganda is being put before us from unknown sources by unknown authors.

  The Lake Poets - Three of the...

  Strictly speaking The Lake Poets were not a movement or school of poetry they were only so named as such by The Edinburgh Review so that they could be disparaged. 
  It was a spectacular backfire! 
  The three main figures would be rightly seen as among the most monumental figures in English poetry - William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the under rated but immense Robert Southey, himself a thirty year poet laureate. 
  The profound majesty of the Lake District, an area of almost unequalled beauty, of mythical landscapes and beguiling charm influenced and acted as muse to their burgeoning talents. 
  Their creations have ennobled this poetry as an art form that is intense, lyrical, moving and above all deliciously satisfying. 
  This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

  'If the French do come, it'll be on a night like this.'
  A gorilla is taken for a French spy by an eighteenth-century fishing community on the isolated North Yorkshire coast.
  Robert Holman's play explores the suspicions, antipathies and fears of the unknown that divide communities, and the bonds that can transcend those divisions.
  In the end 'we're equal when we die, except f'the coffin'.
  Other Worlds was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in May 1983, directed by Richard Wilson.
