"This Handbook, thoroughly Revised and Enlarged by Mark A. Radice from its Classic Predecessors by Demar Irvine, has been designed primarily as a guide for students writing papers or theses on musical subjects - but it is useful for anyone writing for publication about music. As well as dealing with the requirements of scholarly writing, from citation and documentation to the mechanics of punctuation and abbreviation, it also addresses the specific circumstances that arise in writing about music, such as the use of musical examples to supplement prose text. Above all, it is a sensible guide to good writing, presenting concrete suggestions for more effective communication of ideas."--Publisher's description.

Irvine Welsh's fiction has defined an era, and this first full-length study provides a sustained textual and contextual analysis of all his work, from 'Trainspotting' and 'The Acid House' to 'Glue' and 'Porno'. A detailed chronological survey also considers the appropriateness of cultural, postmodern and postcolonial theories to Welsh's incendiary fiction. Kelly gives a fascinating insight into the writer's formal and political ambitions, placing him in the context of the 'brat pack' which exploded onto the Scottish literary scene in the 1990s. He explores the social, class and political conditioning of Welsh's early life, and its impact on his motivations for writing. Clearly written and accessible, this will be a key resource for students and academics alike. Choose 'Irvine Welsh'!
