Sheridan
The Scots novelist Margaret Oliphant (1828–97) published this biography of the playwright and poet Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816) in the first 'English Men of Letters' series in 1883. Sheridan is best known for his plays The Rivals, A Trip to Scarborough, and The School for Scandal, which was his most popular work among his contemporaries. Sheridan was also at one point the owner of the famous Theatre Royal on Drury Lane, which he purchased with his father-in-law in 1776. He led a radical political career, becoming a Whig MP in 1780 and quickly developing a reputation as a brilliant orator. He defended the French Revolution and supported American colonists against British colonial policy. Oliphant's biography covers Sheridan's youth, dramatic writing, political career and middle age; her vivid and sympathetic portrayal provides a valuable insight into his remarkable life.

Nästan bara rara djur, Ljudbok
Efter att ha arbetat några år som veterinär tillsammans med Sigfrid Farnon och hans bror Tristan i Yorkshire börjar James Herriot äntligen bli accepterad av de ofta självgoda och fåordiga bönderna. Han har dock ingen större framgång hos Helene Albrights far som missmodigt betraktar den unge veterinären som kommer på friarstråt till hans dotter. Betydligt muntrare blir det när James ber sin snobbiga veterinärspraktikant Richard Carmody att ta blodprov på en ilsken sugga. Mellan kalvningar, kastreringar och vaccineringar hinner James även med att vara utställningsdomare, vinprovare, föreläsa för kyrkans juniorgrupp och jaga spöket vid klosterruinen i Raynes. Verklighetens James Herriot hette James Alfred Wright (1917-1995) och var verksam som veterinär i Yorkshire. Hans fantastiska skotska humor lyser igenom i hans böcker som ligger till grund för TV-serien "I vår Herres hage".

Cindy Sherman
'Cindy Sherman's work is structured into series, the best known of which are History Portraits and Untitled Film Stills (1977-1980), which led to Cindy Sherman's artistic breakthrough. In History Portraits, the artist carries out radical transformations of Old Master paintings. Using make-up, cloth drapes, and prostheses, she photographs herself in the poses in which the Old Masters portrayed women. Christa Schneider presents an art-historical analysis of the History Portraits. Identifying a clear model for every single portrait (e.g. Botticelli and Rubens, Fran ois Boucher and Jacques-Louis David), she reveals Sherman's extremely precise and enigmatic method of working in which the artistic media employed by Sherman--photography and acting--are surprisingly compatible with painting.'
