'The 2010s is the concluding volume of the Decades Series. Although novels will continue to be written and read in the UK, there are good reasons for thinking that future fiction written in Britain is unlikely to have the same cultural signification within national life as over the past century.'

He has many defenders, alas, who ignore or explain away his race-thinking. As with GB Shaw, it was especially extreme in the 1930s.

I am really disappointed that the new version of EThOS at the British Library (the service for getting PhD theses) will be metadata-only. I really think we should use such resources, even if they are not books. They are still contributions to knowledge. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/give-ph...

Scholars criticise lack of progress on restoring repository of 600,000 PhD theses more than two years after it was felled by cyberattack

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight www.cityam.com/the-british-...

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?

The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity
