This article re-examines what historian Angus Calder has called the Myth of the Blitz, focussing upon the figure central to this Myth - the child asleep in the Underground. Images by Bill Brandt and Henry Moore are considered, as well as material by Graham Greene and Elizabeth Bowen, in order to understand a seminal moment in the history of modern British culture: the formation of a new, modernist aesthetic that was to play an integral part in the post-war transformation of the UK.

The rediscovery of Benjamin Constant (1767–1830) in the latter half of the 20th century has been underscored by the critical edition, planned and executed since 1980. The edition has been recognised as innovative in terms both of its edited text and of the interdisciplinary orientation of its commentary. TUSTEP has been the working tool throughout for the preparation and printing of the book edition. The edition's online version is now being realised in cooperation with the book publishers (Niemeyer of Tübingen) and generated from the electronic print data. The website itself is described in detail below, in English. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
