@PersephoneBooks We're excited about the relaunch of this 1930 novel by #MadelineLinford, who was the first woman to have an editorial role at the Manchester Guardian! #BizHist #WomeninJournalism
@IanDunt @Baddiel @adelegeras @PersephoneBooks What a book!
@Baddiel One of @Humanists_UK’s best Vice Presidents - and one of his best essays! His school boy analogies are perfect.
@Baddiel Is that Two Cheers for Democracy? One of the most underrated liberal books of the last century.
Long before me, in - to add picquancy to the quote - 1939.
Reading essays by EM Forster, who it turns out divined the Jews don’t count mentality long before me.
delighted to have written this for the publisher of the most beautiful books on the planet
New from Persephone Books: TWO CHEERS FOR DEMOCRACY, a selection of deeply-felt essays by E M Forster about values, politics and culture. Includes a new preface by @henrymance: "More than seven decades after the essays were written, they chime with me – indeed, they console me.”
So pleased to see One Afternoon by Siân James back in print thanks to the work of @PersephoneBooks. It's a remarkable novel which champions the strength and resilience of women. There's a preface by me as well, on why it's a novel that's stuck with me for so many years.
Today, we publish two new Persephone books: ONE AFTERNOON, a novel by Siân James, and TWO CHEERS FOR DEMOCRACY: A SELECTION, a collection of essays by E M Forster. More details on our website: persephonebooks.co.uk.

A soft Brexit was never "on the table" and then subsequently scuppered by Remainers out of purity. This is a myth. Theresa May ruled out a soft Brexit in January 2017 when she said we would leave both the single market and the customs union. She killed soft Brexit, not Remainers.

@ErinMaglaque @PersephoneBooks Hi Erin, please could you email the shop on [email protected]. Thanks a lot.
Honored and a bit overwhelmed to receive these two magnificent volumes. Forty-four essays from friends, colleague and former students, and some wonderfully original work. Great to see so many of them in St Andrews yesterday.
