I’ve been slaving over a hot… erm… keyboard?… this week and have now finished the latest issue of the Hesperus Press online magazine, which can be found right about here . I don’t like to blow my own trumpet (that’s such a lie), but I’m particularly excited about this one: there’s a really insightful interview with Kathryn Hughes, who wrote the foreword to Janet’s Repentance, the last volume in George Eliot’s Scenes of Clerical Life. We’ve just published Janet’s Repentance, having published the other two volumes, Amos Barton and Mr Gilfil’s Love Story, in recent years. Kathryn won the 1999 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for George Eliot: The Last Victorian, so she is something of an authority on this subject. Pop along to the ‘Interviews’ section to see for yourselves.
In celebration of our recent release of Annie Dillard’s The Maytrees, we’re offering a 30% discount on all of our titles in contemporary fiction. The full list (which includes the winners of some very prestigious prizes such as the French Prix Goncourt) is here, and you can read an extract from The Maytrees here.
There’s plenty more in the magazine itself, so if you’re still lingering on this page, here’s another little link…
Happy reading!
Ellie
