Stuart Kells provides an intimate partnership of three brothers - Allen, Richard and John Lane - lay at the heart of Penguin Books, the greatest modern publishing house. In a spirit of daring and creative opposition, the brothers issued quality books on a massive scale and at cheap prices - and created a revolution in publishing. Yet the 1942 death of John Lane brought the troika to a halt. Allen, the enthusiastic frontman who relied on his younger brothers to drive Penguin's success, became more erratic and suspicious over time. Ultimately, he forced Richard out of the company he had co-founded and built. Explores the little known story of Richard Lane - the heart and backbone of Penguin, and its strongest influence. Richard's experiences as a youth in Australia shaped his character and outlook, and his dedication to the business was matched only by his devotion to his brothers. Relying on unprecedented access to Lane family sources, including Richard's diaries, this book sheds new light on the relationship of Allen, Richard and John, so crucial as a driver of Penguin's spirit and success.

This biography of Thackeray by Peter Shillingsburg offers a new perspective on the relationship between his life and his novels.

Traces Thackeray's composition and revision of sample passages to demonstrate that his narrative strategies were conscious developments. Also demonstrates how his critique of the evils of society focused subtly on conventional domestic cruelties, and on the inequities of the world of women, but in a way that could be dismissed and would not necessarily alienate the public upon whose good will his livelihood depended.

Hugh Small uncovers the story of the reason for Florence Nightingale's mental and physical collapse which took her to bed for ten years, and to spend the rest of her life as a reclusive invalid. But even when bedridden, she worked obsessively for social reform. The British Government asked her to identify the cause of the death of 16,000 returning soldiers in her hospitals.
