The Dream of Pilate's Wife is a poem written by John Hudson in 1890. The poem is inspired by Gustave Dore's famous painting of the same name, which depicts the dream of Pilate's wife as described in the Bible. In the poem, Hudson explores the emotions and thoughts of Pilate's wife as she experiences her dream and the impact it has on her. The dream is a warning about the consequences of Pilate's actions towards Jesus, and the poem reflects on the guilt and regret that Pilate's wife feels as a result of her dream. The language of the poem is rich and evocative, with vivid descriptions that bring the dream to life. The Dream of Pilate's Wife is a powerful work of poetry that explores themes of morality, guilt, and redemption, and is a must-read for anyone interested in literature and religious themes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

John Hudson's poetry collection, Rogue Seed, follows the cycle of the seasons to tell stories written from the author's isolated and geographically remote location in the South of France. Ninety-seven poems detail the writer's hope and despair, confusion and revelation as the year moves from the shoots of spring rich with nightingales to the overwhelming, stormy heat of summer and into the depths of an icy winter and back towards spring.

While Northern Rhodesia was preparing for independence as the Republic of Zambia in 1964, impoverished villages in the remote north east of the country were divided by a bitter conflict fuelled by apparently irreconcilable political and religious convictions. This book describes the origin of the dispute and how it led to skirmishes, defiance of authority, massacre, torture and displacement: a previously unreported mutiny. It is as such an important contribution to Zambian history, with a significant proportion of the material being published for the first time. The author was a district commissioner at Isoka during the time of the massacre and was personally involved in the peace settlement. He argues that the situation need not have escalated had the authorities acted to prevent it; and that for different reasons, both the colonial government and its independent successor tried to distort the gravity of what occurred.
