• Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe

    ‘Magisterial … Immensely readable’ Douglas Alexander, Financial Times

    A compelling history of catastrophes and their consequences, from ‘the most brilliant British historian of his generation’ (The Times)

  • Mantel Pieces

    A stunning collection of essays and memoir from twice Booker Prize winner and international bestseller Hilary Mantel, author of The Mirror and the Light

    In 1987, when Hilary Mantel was first published in the London Review of Books, she wrote to the editor, Karl Miller, ‘I have no critical training whatsoever, so I am forced to be more brisk and breezy than scholarly.’ This collection of twenty reviews, essays and pieces of memoir from the next three decades, tells the story of what happened next.
