John Horner and the Communist Party: Uncomfortable Encounter with Truth
by Rosalind Eyben, Routledge 2024
CLHLWR associate researcher Rosalind Eyben has just published in Routledge’s Radical Politics and History series a life of her father. John Horner was a leading trade unionist and activist who became disillusioned with the Communist Party. Rosalind’s book is for anyone concerned with the problem of political allegiance, personal morality and associated states of denial that were to haunt Horner in later life. It will also be of interest to scholars and students researching communism and the Communist Party.

In January 2024 this first stand-alone study on Mary Gartside's life and work was published by Paul Holberton, commissioned by art bookseller and written by Alexandra Loske. Gartside was probably the first woman in the Western world to publish on colour and colour theory. Her books, illustrated with highly inventive, abstract "blots", are now extremely rare, having been published in small print runs only. Loske's research into Gartside's life and work has been part of the CLHLWR project Squaring the Colour Circle: the lives and work of women in colour history.
