This collection of essays by leading composers and cultural commentators has been brought together by Peter Davison, artistic consultant to the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, in a path-breaking attempt to assess the state of serious music today. Together the contributors present a radical challenge to both the modernists and the minimalists, both to the avant-garde explorers and the stay-at-home conservatives.

Letters from England

The letters described Europe's oldest democracy for the benefit of the citizens of Europe's newest, and Capek was acutely aware of the deep-down affinity between his countrymen and the English.

The Gardener's Year

"In this beginner's guide to amateur gardening, Geoffrey Newsome—the highly acclaimed translator of Capek's witty Letters from England—has captured the grace and irony of the original Czech to produce a volume that will be treasured equally by those who love gardening as a relaxation, those who loathe it as a chore, and those who have no interest in it whatsoever. For behind the practical advice and witty anecdotes lies a poetic evocation of the Garden of Eden. This book is a characteristic product of Capek's genius: amusing, informative, and full of a quizzical interest in people, animals, and plants."

In a series of moving portraits of the monarchs and their advisors, Charles Douglas-Home and Saul Kelly examine the tasks with which recent crowned heads have been troubled, and the virtues that enabled them, by and large, to act for the common good. Incisive, evocative, and informed by a magisterial vision of the scope of political power, this work offers a persuasive answer to the critics of monarchy, and an account of a unique form of government that will give confidence and inspiration to the British people, as they enter a new century of shifting powers and uncertain prospects.

C. S. Lewis (1898-1953) was the most talented and lucid apologist for Christianity that our century has produced. In essays, critical studies, poems, novels and works of autobiography, he turned his formidable literary gifts to the task of re-presenting the Christian view of human destiny to a world bewildered by scientific materialism. Philip Vander Elst surveys the whole of Lewis's vast output, and gives a clear and illuminating summary of his stance towards the outstanding questions of our civilisation. Setting the writings within the context of Lewis's own painful life and striking conversion, he shows the enduring importance of a thinker whose vision of modern life was both comprehensive and profoundly optimistic. For those approaching Lewis for the first time, Vander Elst's book provides a lucid and stimulating introduction; for those already familiar with Lewis's writings, it offers a challenging analysis of their meaning and of the continuous thread of argument which runs through all their various themes. An indispensable guide to an indispensable thinker.
