3: The End of Dynastic Diplomacy 1917
by JAMES JOLL
Sub Warden of St. Antony's College, Oxford
In the third of this series James Joll considers the secret negotiation for a separate peace with the Habsburg Empire. The French representative was, paradoxically enough, a claimant to the French throne. Prince Sixtus of Bourbon Parma, a brother-in-law of the last Austrian Emperor. The negotiation completely failed mainly because peace with Austria could only be achieved as part of a general settlement. As James Joll says, ' The war which Austria had started was not hers to stop.' General editor of the series, ROBERT BLAKE of Christ Church, Oxford
' The Lansdowne Letter ' by Harold Kurtz : June 15

by Wole Soyinka
The singers recorded in Nigeria under the supervision of Wole Soyinka Produced by DOUGLAS CLEVERDON
For this delicious comedy of African village life, Wole Soyinka has used verse-rhythms for the dialogue and drums for the mimed dances. It is the story of Sidi. beloved by the Europeanised school teacher. When a full-length photograph of her appears as a two-page spread in a glossy magazine. her status soars far above that of Baroka, the elderly chieftain of Ilujinle, who reflects that it is five full months since last he took a wife.
