Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always backed its convictions with courage and energy, something the smaller presses often do best (though Carcanet is, by any standards, one of the larger ones now.) New reputations have been advanced, old ones restored, a host of deserving classics and byways of literature given a new illumination
