The Life of Slang by Julie Coleman is the type of book I adore, because it covers a subject I am passionate about, the use of language. A quote from the book: "Slang is a subject that provokes strong emotions.

Despite the somewhat wonky title (I was always taught that if it was something 'owned' by Dickens, it should be rendered thus: Dickens') this is a extremely readable and very interesting book by Jonathan H.

The Oxford Book of Parodies edited by John Gross is what it says on the tin. A collection of parodies, edited by the late John Gross and published by the Oxford University Press. Nobody is safe from the mordant wit of the satirical parodist! There are well in excess of 120 victims,if one can use that word in this context. The parodied range from Geoffrey Chaucer to John Dryden, from Swift to

Janie Hampton's acclaimed The Austerity Olympics vividly depicts the last time the Games came to London. Her tales of teams ferried to events on double-decker buses, billeted in army camps and sewing their own kits are a world away from the lavish 2012 arenas and massive regeneration of Stratford East. The 1948 London Olympics demonstrated what a fantastic Games could be organised on just

In his book Shakespeare, Sex and Love noted Shakespearean expert and author Stanley Wells takes on a fairly big task. He examines how Shakespeare dealt with the subjects of sex and romantic love in his plays and his other written works. In doing this, Wells undertakes a detailed analysis of the works of Shakespeare, which, of course, one would expect. But Wells does more than this. He

What, exactly, DID eminent Victorians think of the American democracy? In this likely and thought provoking book, Frank Prochaska explores how things looked in this fledgling democracy. Or rather, how they looked to outsiders, many of whom had firm views of how government should work in the modern, Victorian era. I had hoped that the book would be a collection of essays, perhaps with notes and

Look at any map or Atlas of the Victorian era and you will not find The Jago. However, every large city and town and even some smaller towns throughout Britain had their own Jago, an area of streets for which the word "mean" really comes nowhere near descriptive enough. The Jago of Arthur Morrison in his work A Child of the Jago is based very closely on the worst part of the East End of London.
