A Century Apart

CMCI’s Reader in Culture, Media and Creative Industries Dr Richard Howells has had book reviews published in two consecutive editions of the Times Higher Education supplement this month –even though the books were published over 100 years apart.

The first was of HG Wells’ edited volume Socialism and the Great State of 1912; the second of Caleb Crain’s debut novel Necessary Errors of 2013.

Both appeared in the THE’s “What Are You Reading” feature, which allows for more informal reviews –and also of books which are no longer current, which is just as well considering the date of the Wells.
