If the tiara fits, wear it!And that is exactly what Elizabeth Royle intends to do.

Just before C.S. Lewis died he selected essays from his previously published works to form a new volume. The first of these sees the return of the notorious Screwtape, addressing a dinner at the Tempters' Training College for young devils.

P. G. Wodehouse's extraordinary career last from 1900 to his death in 1975. He wrote nearly a hundred books and innumerable short stories. His most popular works are those starring Bertie Wooster and his gentleman's personal gentleman, Jeeves. They first appeared in a 1915 story and were last seen in Wodehouse's final completed novel in 1975. Invariably Bertie's aunts, pals, and ex-fiancées plunged him into the soup, and Jeeves just as invariably retrieved him. How did Wodehouse stick to a few well-loved formulas and still manage to make his narratives perpetually fresh? Kristin Thompson is in a unique position to pursue this question. Since 1984 she has been the Archivist of the P. G. Wodehouse Estate's archive. She has had unprecedented access to the manuscripts and correspondence of Wodehouse. Using this material, she traces Wodehouse's working methods. His seemingly effortless prose and stories were in fact the products of lengthy planning and revisions. Notes and drafts allow Thompson to reconstruct the stages through which a typical project passed. She also examines how he drew upon conventions of Victorian and Edwardian literature, including the Sherlock Holmes stories, to create humor. She goes on to trace the development of the two protagonists, as Bertie goes from a drunken dimwit to a far more complex character and Jeeves develops from a clever servant to a nearly omniscient figure. Finally, she analyses at length the series' narrative technique and style. Should the work of a comic author be analyzed? Undoubtedly. Looking more closely at Wodehouse's work reveals new levels of humor. Wodehouse once remarked, "I like writing the Jeeves stories best," and it shows. "Wooster Proposes, Jeeves Disposes, by Kristin Thompson, is a Christmas wish come true for the P. G. Wodehouse fanatic: a critical appreciation that treats Wodehouse as a serious literary craftsman-yet never gets stuffy." --Newsweek

What Should the Left Propose? is a manifesto that engages a vital issue of our time: the program for which Leftists should stand, now that the ideological proposals of the past two hundred years are exhausted.Confronting the major debates in the world today — about national alternatives and alternative globalizations — Unger shows that there is a set of national and global alternatives that we can begin to develop with the materials at hand: opportunities available to us only if we learn to recognize them. These alternatives would, over time, vastly enhance our practical capabilities. They would also give greater reality to the central teaching of democracy: faith in the constructive genius of ordinary men and women.For Unger, a programmatic argument is not a blueprint; it marks a direction and explores next steps. He explores the form this direction could take in the European social democracies, in the United States, in the developing countries, and in the contest over the reform of globalization. He shows how the Left in power can do more than use compensatory redistribution to sugarcoat economic inequality, and how it can make good on its ideals without reaffirming a discredited commitment to governmental control of the economy.
