Subtitle: Eyewitness Accounts from the South African War Editor: Edward Spiers Publisher: Jonathan Ball () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 192 Dimensions: 23.4 x 15.8 x 1.8 cm +++ Edited by Edward Spiers +++ Edward Spiers, a leading authority on the Victorian British army, presents a selection of letters from the siege of Ladysmith (). These 250 letters, which were published in different British newspapers, provide crucial insights into contemporary perceptions of the battles that preceded the siege, the onset of the siege itself, and the desperate and bloody attempts to relieve the town. The letters vividly reflect the feelings of junior officers and other ranks as they struggled to cope with the demands of modern warfare. Their eyewitness testimonies provide firsthand commentary upon the events in Natal that shattered the prewar confidence in Britain.

Author: Philip Larken Editor: Anthony Thwaite Publisher: Faber & Faber () Edition: First Edition ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 475 Dimensions: 24 x 15.5 x 4 cm +++ by Philip Larken +++ Philip Larkin met Monica Jones at University College Leicester in autumn , when they were both twenty-four; he was the newly-appointed assistant librarian and she was an English lecturer. In Larkin moved to Belfast, and thence to Hull, while Monica remained in Leicester, becoming by turns his correspondent, lover and closest confidante, in a relationship which lasted over forty years until the poet's death in . This remarkable unpublished correspondence only came to light after Monica Jones' death in , and consists of nearly two thousand letters, postcards and telegrams, which chronicle - day by day, sometimes hour by hour - every aspect of Larkin's life and the convolutions of their relationship.

Author: Mignonne Breier Publisher: Kwela Books () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 197 Dimensions: 19.8 x 13 x 1.6 cm +++ by Mignonne Breier +++ After the sudden death of her son, aged twenty-five, Migninne Breier's view of her world, and her place in it, is profoundly changed. But in coming to terms with her loss she developes a deeper understanding of herself and this, in turn, leads her to a form of closure that is as delicate and complex as her relationship with the child she has had taken from her.

Imaginative Trespasser: Letters Between Bessie Head, Patrick and Wendy Cullinan Wits University Press, South Africa, . Paperback. Book Condition: During her exile in Botswana, Bessie Head conducted a correspondence with the South African poet and publisher Patrick Cullinan and his wife, Wendy, that became a record of her struggle to survive her isolation, and that traces Head s discovery of her powers as a writer. The Cullinans were among her few constant sources of moral, and sometimes material, support, and in the warm exchange of letters that passed between them, a picture emerges of the period during which so many South African writers and activists faced the challenge of exile. Cullinan s commentary on Head s letters is trenchant and engaging, and he uses his own considerable skills as a writer to construct a narrative that is both absorbing and illuminating. Imaginative Trespasser is a poignant account of a friendship that grew in and through letters, survived the pressures of exile, and yet was deeply damaged by the demons that Bessie Head carried within her during the difficult years of her life in Botswana.
