This book, first published in 1960, is a close examination of the
twelve most decisive weeks in British history. It looks at the
responsibility of pre-war politicians for the preparedness of the
air defence system, the conflicting views on the conduct of the
battle on both sides, the attitude of the US, and the part played
by such leading figures as Dowding, Park, Beaverbrook, Kesselring
and Sperle.

This study attempts to chart the progress of Virginia Woolf's major
novels, listing the several hundred reviews and essays she
published during her lifetime, and records her work with the
Hogarth Press. It also traces her friendships with notable figures
including T.S.Eliot, E.M.Forster, Katherine Mansfield and Vita
Sackville-West and records her meetings with personalities as
diverse as Henry James, Lady Diana Cooper, Sigmund Freud and the
Princess de Polignac.;While it notes Woolf's extensive reading, as
well as her travels and her illnesses, it also sketches the major
artistic and political events of the day.;Edward Bishop has
published articles on Virginia Woolf's novels and essays and has
edited the manuscript draft of Woolf's first experimental novel,
"Jacob's Room".
"The Horae Apocalypticae (Hours with the Apocalypse) is doubtless
the most elaborate work ever produced on the Apocalypse. Without an
equal in exhaustive research in its field, it was occasioned by the
futurist attack on the Historical School of interpretation. Begun
in 1837, its 2,500 pages are buttressed by some 10,000 invaluable
references to ancient and modern works. this: History of
Apocalyptic Interpretation was in its original form published as an
Appendix to the: Horae Apocalypticae Vol. IV. MDCCCLXII 1862
Horae Apocalypticae is a commentary on the apocalypse, critical and
historical; including also an examination of the chief prophecies
of Daniel. It is doubtless the most elaborate work ever produced on
the Apocalypse. Editors Note, 2018 Quin. Ed. E. B Elliot finished
his great work about the year 1860. The nature of the Historicist
method of interpretation is such that the line of fulfilled
prophecy is continually moving with the passage of time. The
interpretation of which necessarily requires a certain amount of
speculation which must be verified before accepted as true. As well
intentioned as many are the passage of time will overthrow the best
of expositors on some points of which time would reveal to be mere
speculation. Though the bulk of Mr. Elliot's work still stands the
test of time, time has unveiled a more likely or true
interpretation on some points. The editors herein have made some
updates commensurate.
