Peggy Ashcroft's god-daughter was conceived on a sofa at the home of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. Her parents had fallen in love during John Gielgud's Oxford production of Romeo and Juliet. Her father George Devine was to become the first artistic director of the Royal Court Theatre, and her mother Sophie was a celebrated stage designer, working under the name of Motley. Being George Devine's Daughter tells the story of their daughter Harriet's early life. The post-war years, the 50s and 60s of her childhood and adolescence were exciting times that brought many changes, both in the theatre and in society as a whole. Her book touches on these, but above all it turns the spoltlight away from theatrical and public events to illuminate the domestic and personal lives of her family, their friends and associates. Honest, humorous and moving, Being George Devine's Daughter is much more than a collection of theatrical anecdotes. Harriet Devine reassesses her childhood memories in the light of her life today in a way which will encourage us to do the same. Lavishly illustrated with many contemporary photographs, and containing a number of George Devine's unpublished letters, this book is a unique and valuable resource for anyone researchng theatre history of this important period.

Muse & Messiah is the first full comparative study of the Polish-Jewish writer and artist Bruno Schulz (1892-1942), based on the latest materials, including new interviews with ex-students and biographers, Polish texts, plus all worldwide English studies and influenced works. Rare photographs, detailed chronology, and recent images are included for comparison. Schulz's life and themes are examined with detailed Polish and European influences. New, first-hand corrected information about his home region adds a new dimension to his creative world within contemporary Polish-Jewish tensions. Controversial international debates about his last works are brought up to date in a work that seeks to place his poetic-artistic achievement more centrally to highlight an original, modernist and yet universal vision. Reviews: 'An interdisciplinary study of dazzling scholarship, Muse & Messiah with its wide-ranging references, allusions, associations, and citations is a true compendium of learning and speculation. By placing Schulz in the many different contexts that shaped his life and work Banks is able to find links, parallels, analogues and interconnections that are often unexpected and surprising, and always rich in complex meaning. Yet, Banks argues in his horizon-broadening interpretation, Schulz cannot be confined to any set of contexts, and, like Blake and Yeats, is ultimately a poet who exists in his own self-created mythic world.' Professor Daniel Gerould (The Graduate Center, CUNY) 'Fans of lost Mitteleuropa, take note: InkerMen Press continues its Hoffmannesque list with an ambitious study of Bruno Schulz's life and work that teases out some universal literary threads from the Polish Jewish writer's private and idiosyncratic cosmos.' Victoria Nelson, author of The Secret Life of Puppets 'Brian Banks, in his new book, shows us a Bruno Schulz that was not known before. He reveals the unknown details of the writer's life with a true detective's passion. The rare ability of detailed interpretation and author's erudition lets us discover the mystery of Schulz's hermetic fiction. It will be enjoyed by both devoted Schulz's readers and those who have yet to encounter his work. This book will be a great source of information for everyone interested in the life and work of the author of Cinnamon Shops.' Tomasz Mackiewicz (Warsaw University) About the Author: Brian R. Banks began writing as a prelude to living on the London streets, in the Francis Thompson rather than Orwellian mode. Huysmans' A Rebours focused a five-year study of that author's life at the British Museum aided by transcripted notebooks and the generous help of Professor Colin Burns. Occasional articles, reviews and two private poetry collections were published, then The Image of J.-K. Huysmans (1990, New York). This period coincided with the finding of a true muse and running a bookshop. A few years later Muse & Messiah: The Life, Imagination & Legacy of Bruno Schulz was written, in tandem with a book of essays, aided not by grants but personal assistance given without financial interest in Poland, Ukraine, and Czech Republic. The author currently lives somewhere in Central Europe.

This is an essay in Cultural Entomology; unlike most works in this field, however, which owe a great deal to anthropology or to the study of comparative religions, this essay is determinedly modern in focus. The starting point for this essay are those few pages early on in Mutual Aid (1902) in which Kropotkin discusses the social insects and, in particular, ants. Kropotkin argues that ants have 'renounced the Hobbesian war' of an incessant struggle, and he maintains that, in contrast, ants have achieved a delicate, and thoroughly anarchist balance between social cohesion and 'individual initiative.' Drawing on the work of the French entomologist, Auguste Forel, Kropotkin directs our attention to a remarkable feature of ant anatomy, the 'social crop', in which a social, even communal life seems to be built into the body of the individual ant.  A year earlier, the famous student of T. H. Huxley, H. G. Wells, had offered another image of an ant-like collective society in his novel, The First Men in the Moon (1901). Here Wells describes the creatures met with on the Moon, the 'Selenites', as 'compact, bristling insects.' More particularly, they are ants, with the same division of labour, industry and animal husbandry (the 'moon-calves') as many ant nests. Whether the ant-like world of the Selenites is utopian or dystopian is a problem in the text, however, for the picture Wells offers us of their collective is divided between that of the scientist, Cavor, who sees this world in utopian terms, and that of Bedford, the flawed, humanist narrator, who is repelled by it. Lastly, this essay explores the work of the philosopher and 'vitalist', Henri Bergson who, in the thirties, offers us a description of ant communality which includes a strangely natured sense of moral duty. Dr Simon King was born in Cheltenham, and educated at Loughborough, Sussex and Worcester. Insect Nations is his first book. He is currently researching a companion to this volume, focused on plants. He is also the owner of an ant farm. . Modern essay in Cultural Entomology . Original philosophical commentary on ant communality . Wide ranging literary and cultural analysis, from Kropotkin, Forel and Wells to Bergson and Maeterlinck 'Someone has given Simon King an ant-farm to play with; they will wish they hadn't.  For as soon as he opens the box it turns, in his hands, into a Pandora's box, out of which tumbles not just a tiny world of ants but an enormous world about ants.  This is a bizarre and labyrinthine world peopled or anted by, it seems, everything and everyone: from the masses to Maeterlink, the Daleks to Dali, our brains to Bergson, and tanks to time-machines.' Professor John Schad, Lancaster University
