Madder Music, Stronger Wine : The Life of Ernest Dowson, Poet and Decadent
London, I.B. Tauris, 2000. orig.boards, dustwrapper.. 24x15cm, x,211,[8]pp. 8pp photoplates.. ISBN: 9781860644702. Minor rubbing. VG. A tear to dustwrapper.
¶ Ernest Dowson, the subject of this biography, was one of the major poets of the romantic late-Victorian Decadent period. He died in 1900 at the age of 32. His life is both a story of doomed love and one of a man's struggle to create beauty in the face of adversity: Dowson was an alcoholic and a severe depressive who created much of his best work when suffering from the tuberculosis which was to kill him when he was a homeless vagabond owning nothing but a tattered manuscript book of verse. Yet this little- understood figure of the Victorian literary world wrote some of the most- quoted lyrics in English verse ("gone with the wind", "days of wine and roses") in the company of contemporaries such as Wilde, Yeats and Beardsley, who illustrated Dowson's work. The poet's circumstances carried all the elements of tragedy: both parents committed suicide, he never had a fixed home, and his life was blighted by an impossible affair with a girl he first met when she was 11. The book examines Dowson's obsessions and explores his life and work in the context of the social mores and attitudes of his era. It sets out to show how his strange delights and sexual excesses were worked into the pure verse of lyrics such as 'Cynara'".

Tony Benn
Pan Macmillan. 1993. (ISBN: 9780330312394). Paperback, 552 p. Paperback in average condition, creases to cover and spine, some tanning to page edges, insription on front page. After 40 years in the House of Commons, Tony Benn remains one of the UK's most controversial politicians. From 1951 to the Gulf War in 1991, Benn has staked out the high moral ground and challenged the Labour leadership to come with him. Benn's inheritance of his father's peerage gave him the first opportunity to battle against the constitution. The government refused to allow him to take his seat in the Commons, but he opposed them with grim tenacity until they changed the law. In the late 1960s he was the country's leading radical, arguing for a more open society. He was alone when he first argued for a referendum over Britain remaining in the Common Market, but within five years a referendum had become national policy, and Benn had achieved his second constitutional change. Jad Adams has won both Royal Television and British Press awards and is the author of "Aids: The HIV Myth". Used: Acceptable.
