For the first time, Jane Anger’s witty and wily advice to women is easily accessible to a modern reader. This edition also includes Jane Anger’s original text for anyone interested in experiencing the unique ‘music’ of the 16th-century English.

A POWERFUL EVOCATION OF A YOUNG MAN'S LIFE AND A QUEER LOVE LETTER TO 1960s PARIS 1968. The world is on fire, and so is the imagination of a young English photographer hungry for self-knowledge. But knowledge comes at a price. When he swaps London for Paris on the eve of the May événements, falling disastrously for handsome Lafcadio in the process, the stage is set for the fateful choice that threatens to curse Billy forever. The road from innocence to experience has seldom been as sensitively mapped as in this meticulously scripted psychodrama that is also a hallucinatory metafiction, a hymn to photography, and a vivid portrait of the age.

The fifteen essays in this short volume were written by public artist Martin Firrell more than 20 years ago. They are investigations into the nature of language and its relationship with experience. They outline an approach to language which has formed the basis of the artist's subsequent work in public space - 'art as debate' calling for greater equality and social justice.
