Skelton A.S., A Murderous Innocence — 1994

Born in a mock-gothic castle to a charismatic charlatan and a beautiful heiress, Justina's idyllic Victorian childhood was only distantly shadowed by the Boer War. But her golden youth spent on the coast of Scotland and in the great houses of Ireland, was soon to be shattered by the urgent realities of the Twentieth Century. Justina and her generation dreamt of love, of fame, of fulfilment: but violence loomed - first in France, in 1914, then in Dublin in 19 19. An artist, a feminist, a woman of passion and pride, Justina Bride Melrose's story mirrors the story of modern European history... Alison Scott Skelton brilliantly portrays an indomitable woman's search for truth, honour and greatness as the guns boom - and innocence fails.

Skelton C.L., Sweethearts and Wives — 1994

The new generation serving with Scotland's proudest Regiment are destined to lead a life of action every bit as far-flung and exciting as their fathers'. For Donald Bruce, this turbulent time begins when he is unable to order the death of one of his own men; for Ian Maclaren, when he falls in love with the illegitimate half-caste Naomi, beautiful, sensual, forbidden. From the burning deserts of the Sudan to the infinite veldt of South Africa, from the windswept Highlands to fashionable London, this is a story of blood and battle, of love and passion, of Sweethearts and Wives. This is the second part of a powerful series which follows the Regiment through fifty years of unforgettable history.

The Penguin Book of Canadian Verse — 1977

This book presents itself as a survey, from the first to the latest, of English-Canadian poetry. The book differs from previous Penguin Anthology, the earlier poets more solidly represented, the periods better balanced. This revised edition, coinciding with Canada's own Centennial, presents a surney of the work done in English by Canadian poets during the past one hundred years.

Skelton C.L., The Maclarens — 1994

Like his father before him, Andrew Maclaren was born to lead the 148th Foot. But his life changed forever when he found Maud Westburn raped and homeless in the horror of the Indian mutiny. Society decreed that he give her up. But his heart insisted that he keep her... The Maclarens is the first part of a compelling series which traces the fortunes of a family and a regiment - a novel of a passionate love and ultimate sacrifice.

Poetry of the Thirties — 1977

Auden, Day, Lewis, Spender, MacNeice and the other key poets of the Thirties were children of the First World War, obsessed by war and by communalism, by the class-struggle and a passionate belief in poets as people whose actions are as publically important as their poems.For them, the Spanish Civil War epitomized the mood of the times, as their symbolic obsessions were transmuted into tragic reality. But from within their strongly defined unity of ideals, an astonishingly varied body of poetry emerged. Robin Skelton has arranged the poetry to make an illuminating —critical essay— of the period, and in his introduction he brilliantly probes the moods and mores of an intensely troubled and creative decade.

Medieval and Renaissance Poets. Langland to Spenser — 1978 (Poets of the English Language)

The poetry in this volume represents that portion of the great poetry of Christendom that was written in English--at first in Middle English, but soon in our own tongue--from the fourteenth century through most of the sixteenth. Its beginnings in the Middle Ages have special meaningfulness for us today, when we are beset by the need to rediscover the unity that was then felt between man and society, feeling and intellect. In the development of allegory, particularly, we find one of its characteristic modes. Following on through these wide-ranging selections, we get an illuminating view of the pre-Shakespearean poetic temper, when verse was universally the popular medium for instruction and entertainment. In addition to Auden s brilliant introduction to the period, this volume contains a helpful guide to the poems in Middle English, and footnote glossaries of unfamiliar words.

Poetry of the Forties — 1987

The Forties were a decade which began with war and ended with a social revolution. It was, writes Robin Skelton in his introduction, a period of crisis and transition, and the poetry of the decade is filled with themes of uncertainty and romance.
