Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The life of John Reith is a classical tragedy, but one of baroque proportions. Reith founded, and for its first 14 years directed, the BBC, imbuing it with that Reithian ethos on which it arguably still runs and establishing a model for public service broadcasting all over the world. In the Britain of the 1930s he was a great man. But at the age of 50 he was persuaded to step down and though he was thereafter successively Chairman of Imperial Airways, Minister of Information under Chamberlain, Minister of Transport and then of Works under Chamberlain and High Commissioner of the Church of Scotland, he never again found a job which would absorb his prodigious talents and energies. His underemployment for the rest of his life vastly exacerbated the maniacal, self-contradicting aspects of his character. This biography uncovers Reith's life, using Reith's diary in the BBC archives which must form one of the most complete and extraordinary confessional documents of any figure in British public life in the 20th century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. No other poet excites such fanatical, worldwide devotion as Robert Burns (otherwise known as Rabbie Burns, Scotland's Favourite Son, the Ploughman Poet, the Bard of Ayrshire or simply the Bard). Ian McIntyre's biography, first published to mark the bicentenary of Burns's death and revised here for the 250th anniversary of his birth, is still considered the best take on a notorious and often over-romanticised life. McIntyre's meticulous use of documentary and archival sources strips away myth and legend. Here, we meet the man - eminently capable of holding two contradictory political views at the same time, he was just as capable of being in love with several women at once. McIntyre also fully evaluates Burns' songs and poetry and brings to light the importance and quality of his satirical verse. McIntyre is enthusiastic but always objective and his work brings us the clearest, most sharply appreciated portrait of this great poet. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
