Contemplations of the Dread and Love of God (also known as Fervor Amoris) is a late Middle English devotional prose text--a manual of guidance for the spiritual and ethical life directed at the lay population of both sexes, rather than at a monastic audience. It is a useful index of English popular spirituality since its circulation seems to have been extensive: it survives in sixteen manuscripts dating from the first half of the fifteenth century, and two early sixteenth-century printed editions. This first critical edition of the text is based on one manuscript, with variant readings cited from the other witnesses where necessary. The volume has a full critical apparatus and an introduction which discusses manuscript relations, matters of textual criticism, editorial technique, language, and dating.

This moving story, based on the novel by National Curriculum recommended author Michael Morpurgo and adapted for the stage by Nick Stafford, is an incredibly moving portrayal of the bond between a soldier and his horse in the deadly chaos of the First World War. Sold to the army in 1914 andseparated from his beloved young master Albert, farm horse Joey is thrust into the midst of the Western Front. Albert vows to follow Joey to war and to be reunited with his friend, but will they find one another?
