Dora Russell's story constitutes a fascinating panorama of English rationalist reformism, and reformers, from 1914 to the outbreak of the Second World War, and throws striking light on Bertrand Russell, her husband for twelve years. ***The author emerged from an Edwardian childhood into a period of women's emancipation, the expansion of industrialism, revolution and the rising working class. Her whole life and thought were to be deeply concerned with all these, and broadened by her experience, in the critical post-war period, of three widely differing civilizations - the United States, the Soviet Union and China. The Cambridge in which she studied as an undergraduate was prominent in the cultural revolution of the time, which was eagerly discusses at the influential Heretics society under the auspices of C. K. Ogden. ***The author's association with Russell began during the First World War, when his pacifist protest made him the idol of the younger generation. Each separately visited Russia to see the results of the Bolshevik Revolution. Then both went to China where their state of unmarried bliss and secular philosophy scandalized the Western delegations and missionaries, but gave great encouragement to the Chinese. The pair believed passionately that love should be freely given and not subjected to possessive rights over the person such as were embodied in the marriage laws of the time, especially degrading to women.'

Hardback. Audrey Williamson, Paul Elek, Granada Publishing. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Good , price clippedMarkings: No markingsA classic British detective novel, Death of a Theatre Filly: A Richard York Detective Novel by Audrey Williamson places the sharp-minded investigator Richard York at the heart of a gripping murder mystery set against the glamorous yet treacherous world of the theatre. When a young woman connected to the stage is found dead, York methodically uncovers a web of jealousy, ambition, and dark secrets lurking behind the footlights. Williamson crafts the narrative with the cool, precise tone of the golden age of crime fiction, drawing readers into a world where every performer may be hiding a motive. The theatrical backdrop lends the story a vivid atmosphere, as the glittering artifice of the stage proves the perfect mask for very real danger. Fans of Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh will find in Richard York a detective of comparable wit and tenacity, making this an essential addition to any classic mystery collection. Hardback.…
