Upcoming Titles - Continued

This month's edition of The Literary Review includes a number of interesting titles. They are:

• The Letters of Sylvia Plath: Volume I, 1940-1956
• Calder: The Conquest of Time
• The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World 
• Bread for All: The Origins of the Welfare State 
• Travelers in the Third Reich: The Rise of Fascism through the Eyes of Everyday People 
• Queen Victoria's Matchmaking: The Royal Marriages that Shaped Europe 
• Churchill and Orwell: The Fight for Freedom (which is not well reviewed)
• Time Pieces: A Dublin Memoir

Of these, The Darkening Age, A Dublin Memoir (by John Banville), and the history of Queen Victoria's progeny seem most engaging. As always with The Literary Review, the essays themselves are very well composed. This is a great publication.
