  • - Edinburgh Poems
    by Angus Calder
    £7.99

    The Edinburgh of Angus Calder's poems is not the city of summer tourism and landmark buildings. It is the all-the-year-round arena of lingering mists or brilliant sunlight on grey stone, where seagulls and pigeons command the early-morning streets, curlers sweep their ice at Murrayfield and coarse sportsmen revel on the Meadows.

  • - On War, Memory and Representation
    by Angus Calder
    £6.99

    A collection of Angus Calder's work dealing with war and memory. Beginning with a section devoted to war memorials and the public remembrance of war, the collection then looks at the lived experience of war for the "ordinary" soldier.

  • by Angus Calder
    £18.99

    The Myth of the Blitz was nurtured at every level of society. Britain was not bombed into classless democracy. Angus Calder provides a compelling examination of the events of 1940 and 1941 - when Britain 'stood alone' against the Luftwaffe - and of the Myth which sustained her 'finest hour'.

  • - Britain 1939-1945
    by Angus Calder
    £20.99
