Description
Peter Davies is Professor and Head of German at the University of Edinburgh. Helmut Schmitz is Reader in German at the University of Warwick. Peter Risdon retired from the Civil Service after more than 30 years at the British Library. Aged 57, he lives in north London with his wife Christine. He now writes biographies of British artists who are awaiting rediscovery, and this is his first book. He is currently completing a 'life' and catalogue raisonne of the important Post-Impressionist artist Alfred Wolmark. Pauline Sheppard has lived and worked in Cornwall since 1972; a founder member of Cornwall Theatre Company, her work has been seen as far afield as Berlin and as close to home as the Minack Theatre, where her adaptations of classic stories for the Minack Schools Fortnight became an important part of the season's calendar. As a writer her concerns are universal issues set in Cornwall: Dogs in 1992 deals with the philosophy of freedom and crossing borders when a group of travellers are evicted from wasteland; and Dressing Granite, 1997, about the survival of the individual. In 1998 she adapted Our Little Town by Charles Lee who was writing in Newlyn in the late 1890s and rubbed shoulders with the artists. In 2000 she adapted the Ordinalia (The Cornish Mystery Cycle) for the community of St. Just. She is also a member of Scavel an gow, a group of Cornish short story writers.
