This is a brief account of an ordinary soldier's experiences at Ypres during the early part of World War I. Reginald Davis was a young boy who worked at the publishers Hodder & Stoughton, but like many others of his generation left his workplace to join the army and fight at Ypres and the Somme. It was John Ernest Hodder Williams who, after Davis returned to the offices of Hodder & Stoughton as one of the war-wounded — minus fingers and with other injuries — decided to put Davis' experiences between two covers.

This new version of the tragedy of Electra combines the plot lines of the three great tragedians Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides with a sprinkle of Eliot, a dab of Keats, a hint of Shakespeare, an essence of the Eurythmics, Walt Whitman, Nietzsche and others. It presents a feast of blood, anger, love, fear, fateful doubt, revenge and beautiful chaos. Tim Dalgleish and Sally Luff with Carabosse Theatre Company have created a modern take on one of the most profound myths of Ancient Greece.

The Rachel Maddow of his day, campaigning journalist, John L. Spivak, spent five years investigating the pre-war fascist penetration of America. His exposé of the Nazi spy networks, political intrigues and pro-fascist public figures and movements in the United States, Mexico and Central America was meticulous and mesmerising.

This new edition provides extensive commentary on the literary figures, such as Baudelaire, Swinburne, J.K. Huysmans, Mallarmé, Arthur Symons and Théophile Gautier, who formed Wilde's literary circle and, in some senses, underpinned his overconfidence in the shield of Art to protect him from the sword of social morality. Returning to this contemporary account of such an infamous trial allows the modern listener a broader historical perspective. Grolleau’s words are, in fact, part of the history surrounding the immediate literary and social aftermath of Wilde’s death.
