Finally Fyreback settles into a proper job. Bringing rough justice to all who are oppressed in these troubled times, and the Law such as it is, has no legal jurisdiction. He learns a few extra skills on the way, diplomacy doesna t seem to be one of them, but be sure his Cleaver plays ita s part. Will this be the wind down to a stable married life and family. Again who can say, now possessing a Wife and Child with another to yet be born, peace and quiet will return to the Border with a new Monarch to rule both Scotland and England under one Crown, but that is still a few years ahead.

Towards the latter part of the 16th century, the power held by the Catholic Church in Scotland was to be wrested from Rome and replaced by the reformed movement of Protestantism. Various methods of coercion were employed to recruit converts, accusations of witchcraft and direct aggravation against the Catholic establishment were common ploys. When Fyreback's family becomes embroiled in this reformation, it becomes personal. Once again the cleaver sings its anthem of death, this time to protect the rights of the common man.

The Anglo Scottish Border in the 16th century was the most violent period of British history. A young boy's quest for revenge on the killers of his family sees him blackmailed into the role of hired assassin. This is the story of how he attains his goal.

Kafka and Pinter is the first major study to focus on the extraordinary affinity between these two heavyweights of twentieth-century literature. As well as offering a bold new interpretation of Kafka's portrayal of the struggle between father and son in his classic stories The Judgement and The Metamorphosis , the book seeks to assess and document, through a detailed exposition of textual and other evidence, the extent to which Pinter's treatment of the same theme has been influenced by Kafka's example. Three of Pinter's plays - The Homecoming, Family Voices and Moonlight - are examined in depth, the last two more comprehensively perhaps than ever before. Clearly written and replete with all manner of fascinating parallels and interconnections, this book commends itself not only to students of Kafka and/or Pinter, but also to those with a more general interest in such areas as comparative literature, theatre studies, religion and psychology.

A New American Sculpture, 1914-1945 is the first publication to situate the individual contributions of Gaston Lachaise, Robert Laurent, Elie Nadelman, and William Zorach into a compelling constellation of artists with shared aesthetic and social concerns. Although each European-born, American artist cultivated his own distinct style, their creative priorities were all deeply rooted in quiet composition, synthetic approaches to anatomy, and architectural unity of curves and volume. At a time when abstract forms were popular, Lachaise, Laurent, Nadelman, and Zorach were all ultimately in favor of maintaining the integrity of the human body to explore modernist styles. This handsome book underscores their unrelenting search for a novel American visual tradition at the intersection of modernism, historic visual culture, and contemporary popular imagery.
