Book Description
Excerpt from The Manchester Tradition This is a school story; but Chiltern School has yet to be founded and the masters and boys who figure in the following pages have never existed outside the author's brain. It is necessary to say so much, partly because most stories of this kind have admittedly dealt with particular schools, and partly because many readers have very little idea of the workings of the imaginative faculty. At all events, when a professional man ventures to Write fiction, they insist on seeing history or caricature, and proceed to affix labels for there is a general assumption that professional men, and schoolmasters in particular, are necessarily devoid of imagination.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Manchester Man In 1799 that line was almost unbroken, from the College (where it commenced at Hunt's Bank Bridge) to Red Bank. The little alley by the Town Mill, called Mill-brow, which led down to the wooden Mill Bridge, was little more of a gap than those narrow entries or passages which pierced the walls like slits here and there, and offered dark and perilous passage to courts and alleys, trending in steep incline to the very bed of the Irk. The houses themselves had been good originally, and were thus cramped together for defence in perilous times, when experience taught that a narrow gorge was easier held against warlike odds than an open roadway.

Book Description
Excerpt from Manchester Literary Club, Some Notes on Its History, 1862-1908: With Reminiscences of the Christmas Suppers To refer to the Manchester Literary Club as a literary society is to betray an ignorance of its distinctive features. The Club has, of course, its rules, its printed syllabus, and its reading of papers; but beyond these there is the subtle charm which arises from the combination of a love of literature and art with a clubable spirit of fellowship and sympathy. Then the Club has its traditions going back almost for half a century; traditions which are embodied in the goodly row of volumes of Papers, in the memories of its oldest members, and in the portraits which look down from the club-room walls on the meetings of to-day. The prime object of the Club is to encourage the pursuit of literature and art, and though in seeking election the would-be member is understood to have a real interest in those subjects, membership is by no means confined to professional literary men and artists. The main body of its members consists of men engaged in business, who, however, are genuinely interested in literature as a humanising influence and as a source of true pleasure. It is to this fact that, as Mr. W. E. A. Axon has well said, in the publications of the Club there is an undimmed enthusiasm and the charm of spontaneousness that arises from a genuine and, so to speak, unprofessional love of literature.

Book Description
Excerpt from Papers, Vol. 44: Of the Manchester Literary Club Cock Hill a little distance above an ancient well now locked up from public use by some benevolent property-owner, and popularly supposed to commemorate Saint Thomas a Becket. Near by is the prosperous hamlet of Pecket Well; whether it derives its name from or bestows its title upon the well is quite uncertain, Some doubtful support is lent to the traditional etymology by the dedication of the ruined church of Heptonstall to the same undoubted martyr but somewhat questionable saint. That venerable structure stands, or attempts to stand, on a hill not far across the valley, with its younger descendant in the same not too tidy graveyard. The little town, for so it was once, is most ancient and had a dungeon of its own, which still survives though not used for its original purpose. It was also once possessed of an excellent grammar school, which in a degenerate and thrifty age has become the headquarters of a Penny Bank, whose ministrants use the fine old richly-carved desk, from which the pedagogues of many a generation have given the law, the birch, and a modicum of sound instruction to their wayward pupils. During the great Civil War a skirmish took place here, in which the royalists sufl'ered their accustomed evil fortune. To-day a clean and quaint village alone keeps green the memory of more stirring times in the past. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This unique collection focuses on the work of legendary Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. Written in the wake of the centenary of Bergman’s birth in 2018, the volume aims to combine new approaches to Bergman’s films and writings with more traditional analyses. Established themes such as Bergman’s interest in philosophy and psychology are addressed, but also less familiar topics, notably his relationship with Hollywood and his elaborate use of film music and autobiographical writing that characterised his later work. There are new analyses of aspects of Bergman’s most famous films, including Smiles of a Summer Night and Fanny and Alexander, but also insightful readings of lesser-known works, such as Saraband and Sawdust and Tinsel.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Manchester Rebels of the Fatal '45 All my early life being spent in Manchester, where I was born, bred, and schooled, I am naturally familiar with the scenes I have attempted to depict in this tale. Little of the old town, however, is now left. The lover of antiquity - if any such should visit Manchester - will search in vain for those picturesque black and white timber habitations, with pointed gables and latticed windows, that were common enough sixty years ago. Entire streets, embellished by such houses, have been swept away in the course of modern improvement. But I recollect them well. No great effort of imagination was therefore needed to reconstruct the old town as it existed in the middle of the last century but I was saved from the possibility of error by an excellent plan, almost of the precise date, designed by John A. Berry, to which I made constant reference during my task. Views are given in this plan of the principal houses then recently erected, and as all these houses were occupied by Prince Charles and the Highland chiefs during their stay in Manchester, I could conduct the rebel leaders to their quarters without difficulty. One of the houses, situate in Deansgate, belonged to my mother's uncle, Mr. Touchet. This is gone, as is Mr. Dickenson's fine house in Market Street Lane, where the prince was lodged. Indeed, there is scarcely a house left in the town that has the slightest historical association belonging to it. When I was a boy, some elderly personages with whom I was acquainted were kind enough to describe to me events connected with Prince Charles's visit to Manchester, and the stories I then heard made a lasting impression upon me.

Book Description
This collection offers a groundbreaking study of Thomas Heywood's fascinatingly individual engagement with the classics across his writing career. It considers the wide diversity of genres to which he contributed, including dramas, translations, compendia, and iconographical designs, and attends to the shaping role of classics in his authorial self-fashioning and idiosyncratic aesthetic.

Excerpt from The Manchester Man, Vol. 1 of 3 When Pliny lost his life, and Herculaneum was buried, Manchester was born. Whilst lava and ashes blotted from sight and memory fair and luxurious Roman cities close to the capital, the Roman soldiery of Titus, under their general Agricola, laid the foundations of a distant city which now competes with the great cities of the world.
