On a visit to Germany in 1934, Norah Briscoe became enamoured with National Socialism, so much so that two years later she entrusted her six-year-old son Paul to a German foster family. When war was declared in 1939, Paul was left stranded in an alien country, while his mother worked for the Ministry of Supply and attempted to smuggle information to the Nazis. She was imprisoned for treason, but this is Paul's story, of growing up an abandoned outsider in Nazi Germany and of his return to English in 1945 where he was confronted by a mother he did not recognise in a country whose language he could no longer speak. Enthralling and moving.…

Essays concerning issues which have preoccupied the author's varied life - the role of culture in society, the pleasures of literature and its relevance to our everyday lives, the importance of education, and the ways in which culture, literature and education all influence, and are in turn affected by, politics. He questions whether museums are inevitably political institutions? And whether it is appropriate to defend the right to publish 'even hateful' stuff? If social workers have gone so far in identifying with the interests of their 'clients' that they have forgotten that they are employed to serve the interests of society as a whole? He passionately defends academics playing a role in public debate, and sets out his concept of the proper role of universities in a free society. He celebrates the 'very English voice' of D.H. Lawrence with a vivid account of his own role in the Lady Chatterley trial.…
