"In a series of penetrating and attractively readable essays, Stefan Collini explores aspects of the literary and intellectual culture of Britain from the early twentieth century to the present. The book focuses chiefly on writers, critics, historians, and journalists who occupied wider public roles as cultural commentators or intellectuals, as well as on the periodicals and other genres through which they attempted to reach such audiences. Among the figures discussed are T. S. Eliot, Graham Greene, J. B. Priestley, C. S. Lewis, Kingsley Amis, Nikolaus Pevsner, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Christopher Hitchens, and Michael Ignatieff. The essays explore the variety of such figures writings-something that can get overlooked or forgotten when they are treated exclusively in terms of their contribution to one established or professional category such as novelist or historian-while capturing their distinctive writing voices and those indirect or implicit ways in which they position or reveal themselves in relation to specific readerships, disputes, and traditions. Explicitly addressed to the non-specialist reader, these essays engage with recent biographies, collections of letters, and new editions of classic works, thereby making some of the fruits of recent scholarly research available to a wider audience. Collini has been acclaimed as one of the most brilliant essayists of our time, and this collection shows him at his subtle, perceptive, and trenchant best. The book will appeal to (and delight) readers interested in literature, history, and contemporary cultural debate."

"During the fifteenth century John Lydgate was the most famous poet in England, filling commissions for the court, the aristocracy, and the guilds. He wrote for an elite London readership that was historically very small, but that saw itself as dominating the cultural life of the nation. Thus the new literary forms and modes developed by Lydgate and his contemporaries helped shape the development of English public culture in the fifteenth century. Maura Nolan presents a major re-interpretation of Lydgate's work and of his central role in the developing literary culture of his time."

"In this brief we will address the measure of managing public procurement taking into consideration cultural,corporate and organizational specificities, with a sustainable development strategy in mind. When such toolsare used in conjunction, the efficiency of production applications is increased. Further research should focuson the investigation of foreign markets for industrial and state businesses’ public procurement, includingprivate law state-owned companies, as well as on developing a mechanism to evaluate public procurement thattakes economic, social, and environmental factors into account. Finally, we need to be aware that integratingcultural factors when dealing with public procurement is fundamental when it comes to leadership issues.Underpinning leadership is an ability to comprehend people, their values, and characteristics, and how thesefactors may correct and adapt public procurement methodology."
