The Oxford Inklings, and informal group of literary friends, met weekly from around 1933 to 1963, often in the Eagle and Child public house or in C.S. Lewis's room in Magfalene College. they talked about ideas, read to each other pieces they were writing, and enjoyed a good evening of 'the cut and parry of prolonged, fierve and masculine argument'. "The Inklings Handbook" focuses on the main members of the group, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien - who are amin the most popular writes of the twentieth century and still strikingly relevant in the twenty-first - Charles Williasm and Owen Barfield. It falls into two parts: the first introducing the Inklings, the second longer A-Z section containing many biographical aticles as well as substantial entries on the group's publications, themes and theology.

Between Men and Feminism had its origins in a lively colloquium at St John’s College, Cambridge in 1990. It discusses how two decades of feminism have affected the ways men define their own masculinities, and how they have responded in their own social, sexual and political lives to the challenges posed by the evolving feminist critiques of patriarchy and maleness itself. The collection contains a great diversity of approaches from Britain and North America. It includes viewpoints from academics, a poet, an educational researcher and the members of an active men’s group. Gay issues feature prominently, as do psychoanalytical views, and a number of the pieces provide a refreshingly personal and practical outlook. Between Men and Feminism shows men finding their own way within the spaces feminism has opened to them, rediscovering their own gendered voices and participating in the transformation of controllong ideologies in their daily lives. These very readable accounts will appeal not only to students in the social sciences and gender studies, but to all men who find themselves responding to the feminist challenge.
