Douglas A. Anderson on the other David Lindsay
17 April 2012

In his Lesser-Known Writers blog, Douglas A. Anderson (who has made many valuable contributions to David Lindsay scholarship, including the publication of Lindsay's "Christmas Play", and the Tartarus Press edition of The Haunted Woman), writes about the other David Lindsay, a writer later known as David T. Lindsay, who produced 18 novels between 1936 and 1940. Apparently, at one point, there was some confusion about whether David T. Lindsay was the same man as the author of A Voyage to Arcturus. Anderson unravels this scholarly knot and looks at some of David T.'s novels with SF/fantasy themes in this blog entry.

The Haunted Woman serialised on Brighton & Hove Community Radio
2 January 2012

An audio version of The Haunted Woman has been serialised on Brighton & Hove Community Radio. Read by Janina Karpinska and edited by Alan J Cannon, it's an excellent, well-produced reading, complete with incidental music. It's of course fitting it should be broadcast via Brighton & Hove Community Radio, as the novel is set in Brighton, as well as nearby Worthing and Steyning. It was broadcast live on Thursday mornings, but episodes in their edited form can be listened to, or downloaded, at Archive.org. It is now complete, in eleven parts (at Archive.org: part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, & 11). There is also a Facebook page.
