![]() ![]() ![]() But, even with yet another "infamous Blunder of the Printer," Lyrical Ballads 1800 is a valuable facsimile, which ought to save wear and tear on the increasingly fragile originals, and will allow us to study the publication as a whole, at our leisure and in our homes, and (which is more important) in our classrooms. A more serious problem is the omission of page 126 of volume 2, containing the last four stanzas of "The Two April Mornings." Surely, in an $85 book, this is a mistake that someone could have noticed and corrected. The quality of the photographic reproductions is reasonably good, although the original copy used for volume 2 seems to have been tightly bound, and as a result the reprinted text looks a bit squeezed along the inner margins of the recto pages. ![]() Both volumes of Lyrical Ballads are reprinted, conveniently bound as one (a common nineteenth-century practice, as well as a cost-saving measure), and, as usual, Jonathan Wordsworth has written a brief (and, for the series, somewhat contentious) introduction to the whole. Lyrical Ballads 1800 is a welcome addition to Jonathan Wordsworth's distinguished facsimile reprint series, Revolution & Romanticism, 1789-1834. ![]() ![]() ![]() She writes Cormoran Strike, an ongoing crime fiction series, under the alias Robert Galbraith.īorn in Yate, Gloucestershire, Rowling was working as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International in 1990 when she conceived the idea for the Harry Potter series while on a delayed train from Manchester to London.

K. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is also unlike anything she has written before. ![]() From complaints about dog shit to passive-aggressive fanmail, from biblical amateur dramatics to an Auction of Promises that goes staggeringly, horribly wrong, Nicola Barker's epistolary novel is a work of immense comic range. The denizens of Burley Cross inhabit a world where everyone's secrets are worn on their sleeves, pettiness becomes epic, little is writ large. Yet Topping's investigation into the curtain-twitching lives of Jeremy Baverstock, Baxter Thorndyke, the Jonty Weiss-Quinns, Mrs Tirza Parry (widow), and a splendid array of other weird and wonderful characters, will not only uncover the dark underbelly of his scenic beat, but also the fundamental strengths of his own character. The quaint moorside village of Burley Cross has been plunged into turmoil by the theft of the contents of its postbox, and when PC Roger Topping takes over the case, which his higher-ranking schoolmate Sergeant Laurence Everill has so far failed to crack, his expectations of success are not high. ![]() But for two West Yorkshire policemen - contemplating a cache of 26 undelivered missives, retrieved from a back alley behind the hairdresser's in Skipton - it's also a job of work.
