Yet more books

An odd lot in today - Anne Lister's diaries (good for teaching Victorian culture), Emma Smith's thesis on masculinity in Welsh men's writing (her chapter on Lewis Jones is very similar to mine, unfortunately, though the others aren't so there's hope yet) and - for fun - The Mammoth Book of Apocalyptic SF. I'm not sure why I keep buying this stuff: between BP and the ongoing and unthinking poisoning of every place and organism on the planet, I could just read the newspapers.
