The edition of The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer published by the Kelmscott Press in 1896 combined the talents of William Morris, one of England's greatest typographers and printers, and those of artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones, who created the 87 full-page woodcut illustrations. For students of Chaucer, English literature, English printing history, and 19th-century British art, the Kelmscott Chaucer is a unique treasure. Originally published in a limited edition of fewer than 500 copies ? hardly any of which surface on the rare book market ? this masterpiece is now available to a new generation of collectors and bibliophiles.
For nearly thirty years, Geoffrey Oliver Tristram (GOT) was the celebrated Organist and Master of the Choristers at Christchurch Priory. He set a high standard for both organ performance and choral direction still widely revered and celebrated. This book charts GOT's life from his birth in Stourbridge, Worcestershire, in 1917 to his sudden death at the age of just 61. It looks at his career as student, teacher, choirmaster, accompanist and, especially, celebrated recitalist, at home and abroad. Drawing heavily on primary source material, including family archives and photographs, the book is complemented and underpinned by the memories and reminiscences of relations, friends, colleagues, peers, and others. It includes many contemporary reviews of his performances, right from his early days as a teenage Fellow of the Royal College of Organists until his last masterly recitals. Appendices give details about Tristram's recitals, broadcasts, and recordings, alongside specifications of the instruments at Christchurch Priory. The book also provides access to a selection of previously unreleased recordings made in the 1960s and early 1970s. Geoffrey Tristram: A Very British Organist, paints a rich picture of the man (husband, father, friend) and the musician, a player who had a significant influence on generations of organists and singers.

This is a new account of the life and accomplishments of medieval England’s most famous poet, Geoffrey Chaucer. For over six centuries, Chaucer has epitomized poetic greatness, though in more recent years the lively and often risqué style of his best-known work, The Canterbury Tales, has made his name synonymous with bawdy humour. Nevertheless, beyond his poetic achievements, Chaucer assumed various roles, including those of royal attendant, soldier, customs officer and Justice of the Peace. Mary Flannery chronicles Chaucer’s journey during one of the most turbulent periods of English history, illuminating how he came to be known as not only the ‘father of English poetry’, but England’s ‘merry bard’.
It's an exciting new time for Geoffrey as he starts school. Although, poor Geoffrey, his first day does not go as planned. So we take Geoffrey back to learn about his heritage and identity, to understand it's okay to be different.

Geoffrey Clarke (1924–2014) was a pioneer in a golden age of British sculpture, whose fearless experimentation with new materials and processes saw him create works that epitomise the vibrancy of the post-war British art scene. This fully-illustrated catalogue raisonné, the first of its kind, confirms Clarke’s position among the leading lights of a generation, which included Lynn Chadwick, Reg Butler and Kenneth Armitage.There are few familiar with the full scope of Clarke’s prolific output – how it transgressed from early iron pieces, indicative of the ‘geometry of fear’, to elegant aluminium works and later wooden abstract pieces of the 1990s. Spanning nearly five decades of making, Clarke’s impressive body of sculptural work is detailed alongside other elements of his diverse oeuvre – stained glass (including pieces created for Coventry Cathedral), silver, medals and textiles also feature.With catalogue entries accompanied by an exhibition history, list of public collections as well as a comprehensive bibliography, this book will be the definitive resource for curators, collectors, dealers and enthusiasts seeking a detailed overview of Clarke’s important artistic contribution.
