Jonathan Bate is shortlisted for the 2015 Samuel Johnson Prize

 

“Ted Hughes said that the only capital he had for his work as an author was his own life. His published writings might be described as the authorised version of the story…”

This book has been one of the most talked about books of the autumn and there are still a limited number of signed copies of this title available to order.
