COLLIS, John Stewart

Bound Upon A Course. An Autobiography.

House of Stratus 2001, 192pp. Paperback. In very good condition. 'Bound Upon a Course' takes a generous glance at the life of the celebrated biographer, John Stewart Collis. In this autobiography, Collis recounts his difficult childhood in Ireland, his decision to write, the years spent on the cultural fringe in London, and his acquaintance with the literary personalities of Rose Macaulay, W B Yeats and T S Eliot. But it was his decision to work on the land in 1940, which marked a watershed in his career. These rural experiences shaped his philosophy and resulted in the undisputed classic 'The Worm Forgives the Plough'. Subtle, modest and acutely perceptive, this is an intriguing portrait of a man who was a unique synthesis of scientist, scholar and poet.

Collis, John.

Digging Up the Past. An Introduction to Archaeological Excavation.

Sutton Publishing, 2001 Bound, cloth with original dustjacket, 183pp., 18x25cm., richly illustr. in b/w., in very good condition. (dustjacket with light traces of use). ISBN 9780750927376. This concise, readable, well-illustrated introduction to methods of excavation describes a technique that is essential for almost all kinds of archaeology. It is aimed at professional and amateur archaeologists, at students at all levels and at everyone who wants to know how archaeological evidence is discovered. John Collis's book presents new ideas on excavation techniques and challenges traditional approaches to site organization and recording. He uses his 40 years of excavation experience to recommend practical solutions to procedural and interpretive problems, and he considers the impact of computerization and other technical innovations. But he also recalls the history and development of archaeological excavation which provides a background to the methods employed today. He looks in detail at the selection and preparation of archaeological sites, and at the removal, storage and analysis of finds in their context. The best approaches to the excavation of wooden and stone buildings are described, and a chapter is devoted to the treatment of burials and skeletal remains. Diagrams illustrate the techniques involved and the book includes a fascinating selection of photographs showing excavations in progress in Britain, Europe and America. This practical, common-sense guide should find a place on the bookshelf of everyone who practises archaeology on a professional or amateur basis, and it will be illuminating reading for anyone who wants to understand how archaeologists can recover the past by digging in the soil.

COLLIS, John Stewart

An Irishman's England.

House of Stratus 2001, 111pp. Paperback. In very good condition. As an Irishman educated in England, John Stewart Collis had a unique perspective on his adopted country. Sufficiently distanced, he could observe and record without bias or malice. Here he portrays the extravagance and the apparent contradictions of the English. After a rapid discussion of London and the provinces, he then examines English political and cultural life. In so doing, Collis holds up a sympathetic mirror and makes some perceptive and enlightening revelations about England and the English.
