REPRINTS AND NEW EDITIONS

Two new numbers have been added to Gollancz's “Rare Works of Imaginative Fiction,’’ a series which has proved remarkably popular. The new reissues are David Lindsay’s “The Haunted Woman,” a work of rare imagination and beauty, and “The Isle of Lies,” one of the three books in the M. P. Sheil canon. Gollancz have also issued a new edition of Ignazio Silone's “Bread and Wine.” This has been rewritten with an explanatory surface. Everyman’s Library has reissued the 1934 edition of “Selected Writings of St. Thomas Aquinas,” selected and edited by Father M. C. D’Arcy, S.J. A new section has been added to the new edition by Father Joseph Crenan, S.J. “The Laxdale Saga," a magnificent example of medieval literature written in the west of Iceland about 1250 A.D.. appears now for the first time in Everyman’s Library. There is a new introduction by Peter Foote, professor of Old Icelandic in the University of London. Allen and Unwin have published a new edition of Edith Weir Perry’s “Under Four Tudors,” the story of Mathew Parker. 70th Archbishop of Canterbury, who was appointed by Queen Elizabeth I. This magnificent work of great scholarship gives a picture of the complicated era in the history of the Church in which Archbishop Parker lived, and of which he was so vital a part.
