'I shall never forget the day I wrote "The Mark on the Wall" - all in a flash, as if flying, after being kept stone breaking for months. "The Unwritten Novel" was the great discovery, however. That - again in one second - showed me how I could embody all my deposit of experience in a shape that fitted it... I saw, branching out of the tunnel I made, when I discovered that method of approach, Jacob's Room, Mrs Dalloway etc - How I trembled with excitement.' The thrill Woolf got from these stories is readily apparent to the reader. She wrote them in defiance of convention, with a heady feeling of liberation and with a clear sense that she was breaking new ground. Indeed, if she had not made her bold and experimental forays into the short story in the period leading up to the publication of Jacob's Room (1922), it seems certain that her arrival as a great modernist novelist would have been delayed. Quirky, unrestrained, disturbing and surprising, many of these stories, particularly the early ones, are essential to an understanding of Woolf's development as a writer. She thought some of her short fiction might be 'unprintable' but, happily, she was mistaken.

'The ponderous woman looked through the pattern of falling words at the flowers standing cool, firm, and upright in the earth, with a curious expression. . .So heavy the woman came to a standstill opposite the oval shaped flowerbed, and ceased even to pretend to listen to what the other womanwas saying.'Virginia Woolf's short fiction has long been acknowledged as the place where she tried out some of her more experimental techniques before adopting and adapting them for use in her novel-length works. While this is certainly true, it is also the case that these short pieces are now increasinglybeing recognized as important works of art in their own right, rather than simply flights of experimental fancy awaiting their full actualization in the novel form.This new edition edited by Bryony Randall emphasises the startling variety in Woolf's experimentation during the most productive period of short fiction writing in Woolf's life, the late 1910s through to the end of the 1920s. It draws readers' attention to the deep political engagements evidentacross the range of her work and on the recent burgeoning of work in modernist print culture to set out the importance of the material context of these works' initial publication and reception.

Winner of the Journal of the History of Ideas's Morris D. Forkosch prize This book traces the development thought about God and the relationship between God's being and activity from Aristotle, through the pagan Neoplatonists, to thinkers such as Augustine, Boethius, and Aquinas (in the West) and Dionysius the Areopagite, Maximus the Confessor, and Gregory Palamas (in the East). The resulst is a comparative history of philosophical thought in the two halves of Christendom, providing a philosophical backdrop to the schism between the Eastern and Western churches.

This collection of Aldous Huxley's letters, essays from magazines, and broadcasts reveals the full range of his involvement in the social and political crises of the period between the wars. They show how his contempt for mass society and his belief in the existence of a cultural elite gave way to a liberal humanism and a concern for the well-being of ordinary people.

The Hidden Huxley

David Bradshaw

Priestly ministry is our eternal calling and our greatest privilege. At the very foundation of the gospel is the revelation of the priesthood of every believer. Martyrs of old went to their executions over this doctrine. Yet many in the church today have very little understanding of their priestly calling and fewer still are experiencing any kind of fullness in their priestly ministry. In this generation, God is restoring our priestly identity. It is critical in an hour of crisis that a people of prayer emerge. This is at the very center of God's strategy to release the greatest revival that has ever been seen. This course will focus on the biblical foundations of new covenant priestly ministry, specifically as expressed through day and night prayer. Topics covered include: - What is New Covenant Priesthood? - Ministry to the Lord - The Creative Renaissance - History of Day and Night Prayer - Walking in the Spirit - Understanding the Third Heaven - The Priestly Ministry of Jesus - Apostolic Intercession - A Theology of Solemn Assembly - Mystical Prayer And more!
