Give it to Moore, He Will Score! is the authorised biography of
footballing icon Ian Storey-Moore, Nottingham Forest’s legendary
forward of the 1960s and early 70s. Scoring more than 100
top-flight goals for Forest, he became the most sought-after
striker in the land. An England international, injury robbed him of
numerous caps and a place at the Mexico 1970 World Cup. Moore’s
sensational on-off transfer to Derby County for a British record
fee was front-page news and left Brian Clough unable to speak to
him for two decades. Joining Manchester United instead, he played
alongside Best, Law and Charlton before sampling life in the
nascent US soccer scene. Here, for the first time, the authors tell
the full story of Moore’s life and career, drawing on their
extensive interviews with him, his personal scrapbooks and their
own first-hand memories. With Moore still a hugely popular figure
among fans, his story is essential reading for Forest and United
supporters, plus anyone with an interest in football history.
'Here on the shore, twenty years later, my message in a bottle has
reached dry land. Words about our life, his death but mostly love
and our journey to the end.' - Olivia Harrison Olivia Harrison
presents Came the Lightening, a book of twenty poems dedicated to
George, marking the twentieth year since his passing. As a
contributor to the book Concert for George, the revised edition of
I Me Mine, and George Harrison: Living in the Material World,
Olivia is no stranger to writing beautiful words that have an
ethereal connection to love. These poems are accompanied by a
selection of photographs and mementos curated by Olivia, including
pictures of herself and George. Came the Lightening sees Olivia
reflect upon her life with George, examining the intimacy of the
emotional bond in their relationship through a memorable series of
poems. She delves into the phenomenon of losing a partner and the
passage of time. In essence, this is a story of love. 'Olivia
evokes the most fleeting gestures and instants, plucked from the
flow of time and memory and felt through her choice of words and
the overall rhythm... She might have done an oral history or a
memoir. Instead, she composed a work of poetic autobiography.' -

This volume shows the pervasiveness over a millennium and a half of
the little-studied phenomenon of multi-tier intertextuality,
whether as 'linear' window reference - where author C
simultaneously imitates or alludes to a text by author A and its
imitation by author B - or as multi-directional imitative clusters.
It begins with essays on classical literature from Homer to the
high Roman empire, where the feature first becomes prominent; then
comes late antiquity, a lively area of research at present; and,
after a series of essays on European neo-Latin literature from
Petrarch to 1600, another area where developments are moving
rapidly, the volume concludes with early modern vernacular
literatures (Italian, French, Portuguese and English). Most papers
concern verse, but prose is not ignored. The introduction to the
volume discusses the relevant methodological issues. An Afterword
outlines the critical history of 'window reference' and includes a
short essay by Professor Richard Thomas, of Harvard University, who
coined the term in the 1980s.

It was in Paris in 1927, at an exhibition dedicated to Picasso,
that Francis Bacon grasped his vocation as a painter. In 1946, he
moved to Monaco on the French Riviera where he lived for four
years, his time in the Principality marking a turning point in his
art; with his popes series, he became a painter of the human
figure. In Paris he befriended artists and intellectuals, such as
Giacometti and Leiris, whilst the city would become the setting for
the crystalisation of his reputation in 1971 with the retrospective
at the Grand Palais. In 1975, Bacon would take a studio in the
Marais district. This bilingual publication co-published by Albin
Michel and The Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation tells of Bacon s
deep ties with France and Monaco, and has been overseen by Martin
Harrison, author of Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonne and curator
of the coinciding exhibition Francis Bacon, Monaco et la culture
franc aise which runs at Grimaldi Forum, Monaco from 2 July 2016
until 4 September 2
