Mania, Early works to 1800 

First Published in 1989. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company. Editorial Reviews About the Author Stanley Jackson was born in Epsom Surrey. His early years were spent in a council prefab but he joined the middle classes in 1966 when he married Iris and acquired the first in a series of unaffordable mortgages. He set up Performing Artistes in 1992 after a successful career in financial services. His maternal grandfather, Stanley Howard Stubbs, was involved in shipping horses to France in the Great War; an heroic activity given brilliant theatrical expression in the award winning stage play "Warhorse," adapted from Michael Morpurgo's book and now a major Hollywood film by Steven Spielberg. Stanley Jackson and Michael Morpurgo were both guests of Libby Purves on BBC Radio 4's "Midweek" programme on 19 October 2010.
