London: Michael Joseph, 1971. First Edition. . Hardback. Good Plus/Good Plus. First edition. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22 × 14.5cm, 450pp. On the extreme outer fringes of the faddish Anglo-Catholicism of the 1890s, Frederick Rolfe is surely one of the most singular and enigmatic personalities in English letters. Weeks, an avid collector of Rolfe's letters, photographs and drawings, picks up the baton from AJA Symons' The Quest for Corvo and ventures even deeper into the legend and life of the misanthropic author. Condition: A good copy. The book is in sound shape, with a few spots of foxing to the page edges. The dustwrapper is also good, with some overall age-related wear.

Hardback, bound in the original orange cloth with printed titling to spine and the Chinese lettering of Timothy Richard's calling card printed to the upper board. 22.5 × 14.5cm, 330pp + 2pp publisher's ads. William Soothill was a missionary and sinologist, and this is his illustrated biographical study of his much admired friend, Timothy Richard, DD. Timothy Richard (1845-1919) was a Welsh Baptist missionary to China who influenced the modernisation of China and the rise of the Chinese Republic. In 1869 the Baptist Missionary Society sent him to China where he laboured, with infrequent furloughs, from 1870 to 1915, first in Chafoo, then in Shantung and Shansi, and finally in Shanghai, when, in 1891, he was appointed secretary of the Christian Literature Society of China. He resigned in 1915, and died in London, 17 April 1919. His manifold activities and vast influence defy summary. Pioneer… Read More

Description:
Bristol: Thoemmes, 1994. First Thus. . Soft cover. Very Good. First edition thus. Paperback. 21.5 × 13.5cm, xix + 292pp. In his later years, William Morris became an active and respected lecturer and writer on social and cultural themes, the successor to Carlyle and Ruskin. He published two volumes of these writings in his lifetime, Hopes and Fears for Art in 1882, and Signs of Change in 1888. Since it was in 1883 that he committed himself to Socialism, these two volumes read together show clearly the development of his political-cultural thinking. All the lectures deal, in clear and vigorous English, with issues of work, ecology and society that are still of central concern today. The text is reproduced from May Morris' Collected Works of William Morris (1914/1915). Condition: This copy is in very good condition.

In the turbulent times of the post-World War One era, new political parties emerged frequently in Germany, many with opposing extremist policies. The Communist movement grew out of the Socialist working classes using the Russian Bolshevik Party as a template. In direct opposition, the new National Socialist German Workers Party under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, occupied the extreme right-wing position. Head on conflict was inevitable and both parties organised violent demonstrations against the other. Hitler recognised that he was physically vulnerable and ordered the formation of his own protection squad, made up of loyal men who would not shirk from a fight. From the… Read More

Stroud: Fonthill, 2020. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 25.5 × 17.5cm, 864pp (576 pages of text and over 660 photographs on 288 pages). Outside of the Nazi hierarchy, Odilo Globocnik is almost certainly the most culpable in the planned and almost successfully executed attempt to annihilate all the Jews of Europe. In producing this book, the author was soon to discover several interesting facets to the history of this unsavory character. Not only did he play a leading role in the process of murdering the Jews, he was also the arch highwayman in the plunder of their possessions. Additionally, he was responsible for the compulsory uprooting of thousands of Polish non-Jewish citizens, the destruction of their communities, and the trafficking of enforced slave laborers. Often justifiably vilified for his crooked dealings as Gauleiter of Vienna, his function as asset stripper of the Polish Jews is overshadowed by his… Read More

From the dustwrapper, "Jack Woddis has spent a number of years studying African developments, and has had the opportunity of close contact with many of Africa's political and trade union leaders. The present volume deals with the social and economic causes of the 'wind of change' which is now sweeping the African continent. In a detailed and objective examination of the impact of colonialism on the African peoples, the author finds the basis of the contemporary revolt against white domination in the conditions of land tenure and labour which were imposed by the Colonial Powers."
