bohemian londonfrom pre-raphaelites to punk
NICK RENNISON
london has always been home to outsiders. to people who won’t, or can’t, abide by the conventions of respectable society. For close to two centuries these misfit individualists have had a name. they have been called bohemians.
This book is an entertaining, anecdotal history of Bohemian London. A guide to its more colourful inhabitants: Rossetti and Swinburne, defying the morality of high Victorian England; Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley in the decadent 1890s; the Bloomsburyites and the Bright Young Things; Dylan Thomas, boozing in the Blitz; and Francis Bacon and his cronies, wasting time and getting wasted in 1950s Soho.
It’s also a guide to the places where Bohemia has flourished: the legendary Café Royal, a home from home to artists and writers for nearly a century, the Cave of the Golden Calf, the Colony Room, the Gargoyle Club, and more.
The story of Bohemian London is one of drink and drugs, sex and death, excess and indulgence. It’s also a story of achievement and success. Nick Rennison’s book provides a lively and enjoyable portrait of the world in which Bohemian Londoners once lived, and perhaps still do.

i am (not) a numberdecoding the prisoner
The enormously puzzling TV series The Prisoner has developed a rapt cult following, and has often been described as ‘surreal’ or ‘Kafkaesque.’
In his new book I Am (Not) A Number, Cox takes an opposing view. While the series has surreal elements, he believes it provides the answers to all the questions which have engrossed and confounded viewers: who is Number 6? Who runs The Village? Who – or what – is Number 1? According to Cox, the key to understanding The Prisoner is to view the series in the order in which the episodes were made – not in the rearranged order of the UK or US television screenings. In this book he does exactly that, and provides an entirely original and controversial ‘explanation’ for what is perhaps the best, the most original, and certainly the most perplexing, TV series of all time.

historical noirthe pocket essential guide to fiction, film & tv
It’s one of the most successful – and surprising – of phenomena in the entire crime fiction genre: detectives (and proto-detectives) solving crimes in earlier eras. There is now an army of historical sleuths operating from the mean streets of ancient Rome to the Cold War era of the 1950s. And this astonishingly varied offshoot of the crime genre, as well as keeping bookshop tills ringing, is winning a slew of awards, notably the prestigious CWA Historical Dagger.
As in such earlier entries in the series as American Noir and Euro Noir, Forshaw has produced the perfect reader’s guide to a fascinating field; every major writer is considered (with many interviews included here), often through a concentration on one or two key books, and exciting new talents are highlighted.

southArtists and writers have long felt the lure of the South; be it the South of the Continent which inspired writers like Goethe and Nietzsche, the South Seas, which cast a spell over Herman Melville and Robert Louis Stevenson, or the frozen South of Antarctica which fascinated writers like Edgar Allan Poe and H P Lovecraft.
Moving between geography and mythology, literature and history, this is the first book to look at all things southern in one volume. It examines the South as a symbol of freedom and escape, the South as the location of Northern visions of Utopia, and the South as the imagined site of decadence, poverty and backwardness. From Tahiti to the streets of Peckham, from Naples to New Orleans, Merlin Coverley’s brilliant and wide-ranging study throws light on how and why the idea of the South, in all its forms, has come to exert such a powerful hold on our imaginations.
