  Praise for theprevious edition Hartley is no chump; he's a wry guide and a puckish professor, embodying the young-old spirit of the discipline he has inhabited and informed for decades. He provides serious, solid definitions, but also cheeky marginal notes on the official history. In every sentence, you feel the author's personality: his earnestness, his honesty, his childlike desire to engage, to ask, to argue.Will Brooker, Kingston University, Times Higher Education.

  His memoir 'Capturing the Wry' was first published by i40Publishing in 2018. His forthcoming authorised biography of the indie band BOB is published by i40Publishing in February 2023.
