City of Fortune is Sunday Times 'Paperback Pick of the Week'.
06 Aug 2012
Congratulations to Roger Crowley whose City of Fortune was Sunday Times ‘Paperback Pick of the Week’.
“The rise and fall of the Most Serene Republic of Venice is one of the most dazzling and extraordinary in history, and Crowley makes a wonderfully eloquent guide. The story, from Ascension Day 1000 to around 1500, is a large and diffuse one, but Crowley is such a natural narrative historian, with such an eye for colourful, telling details and such a knack for dramatic character sketches, that he is a constant joy to read.”

Juliet Barker's Brontes picked by Publishers Weekly as one of best new books of week
31 Jul 2012
Publishers Weekly has chosen as one of the Best New Books for the Week Juliet Barker’s updated edition of her landmark 1994 biography of the Brontes just published by Pegasus saying:
Barker (former curator of the Brontë Parsonage Museum at Haworth) expansively narrates the story of a family that left an indelible mark on literary history… Barker restores a rich context to the writers and their works by recounting their education, creative collaborations, and frustrated love lives. Most fascinating is Barker’s attention to the pseudonymous publication and reception of the Brontës’ first poems and novels. The sensitive and elegant writing stimulates genuine pathos for the doomed family, and this volume is sure to remain the most readable scholarly standard for years to come.
