Born from a friendship thanks to which Helen Monk had access to Eric's memorabilia close before his death this is a work of love and patience through years of a devoted fan... Eric Porter (1928-1995) best known for his parts of King Lear, Macbeth, Ibsen's John Rosmer or Chekhov's Serebryakov on the stage, is the unforgettable Soames Forsyte whose name has become a common name in Cockney together with Professor Moriarty on T.V. Based on witnesses of fellows actors, friends, critics, journalists, it is a story about an incredibly modest man who didn't seek money nor fame, only an actor whose job was to entertain and make people think about life by forgetting their own problems. This biography is the fulfilled dream of a fan who met her hero but the dream too of a quite lonesome actor who met a whole family : parents, children and even grandparents whom he called affectionately "his little family from Ripley".
Eric Porter - The Life of an Acting Giant
BIOGRAPHY After the first fifty years of Eric Porter's life available on Amazon in volume 1, here are the mature years: 1979-1995 with more drawings and photographs in addition. Eric Porter was one of the greatest actors of the British classical theatre in the 50's and 60's who became a worldwide famous TV actor after his portrayal of Soames Forsyte a main character of the series "The Forsyte Saga" in 1967 on BBC 2. This versatile actor loved playing po-faced characters but he was far from them in real life. Helen Monk had the privilege to enter his inner circle of friends and thanks to her we discover another man, a man with simple joys and a real intellectual as well. Far from the typical biography kind that Eric Porter himself didn't like, she doesn't tell us about his path from shadow to light but how he managed this difficult balance between Porter the actor and Eric the man.

What Is This Thing Called Jazz?
Despite the plethora of writing about jazz, little attention has been paid to what musicians themselves wrote and said about their practice. An implicit division of labor has emerged where, for the most part, black artists invent and play music while white writers provide the commentary. Eric Porter overturns this tendency in his creative intellectual history of African American musicians. He foregrounds the often-ignored ideas of these artists, analyzing them in the context of meanings circulating around jazz, as well as in relationship to broader currents in African American thought. Porter examines several crucial moments in the history of jazz: the formative years of the 1920s and 1930s;...

The Problem of the Future World
The Problem of the Future World is a compelling reassessment of the later writings of the iconic African American activist and intellectual W. E. B. Du Bois. As Eric Porter points out, despite the outpouring of scholarship devoted to Du Bois, the broad range of writing he produced during the 1940s and early 1950s has not been thoroughly examined in its historical context, nor has sufficient attention been paid to the theoretical interventions he made during those years. Porter locates Du Bois’s later work in relation to what he calls “the first postracial moment.” He suggests that Du Bois’s midcentury writings are so distinctive and so relevant for contemporary scholarship because th...
