London England: Aurum Press Ltd, 2010. First Edition All My Shows are Great the Life of Lew Grade by Lewis Chester.The image of Lew Grade that adorns the cover the of Lewis Chester’s witty and well-researched account of the late media mogul, is suitably showbiz. The one time champion of the Charleston is mid-jig, with his (one imagines) expensive watch tipped toward the lens and a trademark Montecristo protruding from his chat hole. That the agent, TV impresario and movie producer used them as a prop to foster an image of confidence during business negotiations and calm his nerves is just one of the nice revelations in a tale which is as much a history of commercial television in Britain and the country’s contribution to the movies of the 1970s and 80s, as it is of the stout businessman on the cover jacket..(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

As an historical figure Mary Queen of Scots has been perpetually represented on canvas, page and stage, and has captured the British imagination since the time of her death in 1587. The 'real' Mary Stuart however has remained an enigma. Mary Queen of Scots: Romance and Nation sheds light on Mary's life by exploring four main themes: * the history of Mary's representation in Britain from the late Tudor period focusing on key periods in the formation of the British identity and closely analysing several texts against a background of the visual, musical and literary works of each period * the reasons why those representing Mary have been so conscious that her image was largely a debatable fiction * the identification of symbolic styles, using Mary to reveal the habits of representation in each historical period * The link between the image of Mary Stuart and Britain's long struggle to define itself as a single nation, focusing on the roles of gender and religion in this development., 6<
