Sebastian Groes is Lecturer in English Literature at Roehampton University, UK. Peter Childs is Professor of Modern English Literature at the University of Gloucestershire. He was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship by the Higher Education Academy in 2004.

This welcome new assessment of Barnes's ground-breaking work and achievement takes scholarly analysis of his oeuvre to a new level, offering insights into the genesis of some of his novels and a new perspective on his complex uses of historical and biographical fact and fictional invention. -- Brian Finney, Professor Emeritus, California State University, Long Beach, USA
