A Perfect Red by Amy Butler Greenfield. Winner of the 2006 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction. Winner of the 2008 Veolia Prix du Livre Environnement. A Washington Post Best Book of 2005. A History Book Club Editor's Pick. The story of the quest for the perfect color red is an adventure into world history. For those who knew its secrets, red was a source of wealth and power from ancient times onward — especially cochineal, the source of nature's most potent red dye. For centuries after the conquistador Hernán Cortés spotted cochineal in an Aztec marketplace and sent it on the high seas back to his Spanish king, this luminous luxury was a source of war and intrigue. Deployed strategically in the Spanish holy war against Protestant Europe, Spain’s cochineal monopoly was worth a fortune, and English, French, and Dutch pirates were determined to have a piece of the action. But in Europe, few fully understood the nature of cochineal. Was it plant or animal? Could it be stolen from Mexico and transplanted to their colonies? These questions confounded clever minds for centuries, but Spain’s rivals were determined to learn the answers. With a cast of extravagant characters — monarchs, buccaneers, artists, scientists, spies, even poets — the mad race to crack the cochineal enigma and break Spain's monopoly lasted three hundred years. Encompassing the history of natural philosophy and science, of art and textiles, of engineering and empire, A Perfect Red is a tale every bit as flamboyant as the color itself. "Her story of how cochineal became a prime monetary prize . is extraordinary. This radiantly captivating and formidable history of an exotic mystery will take its place with the best accounts of books on Europe and the New World." Judges’ citation, PEN/Martha Albrand Award. "[A] superbly researched history of cochineal red, full of angles and tangents, curiosities and arcana . sprightly and charming." Diane Ackerman, Washington Post. "[A] delightful, rollicking history of cochineal. traversing a gallery containing native people and their oppressors, secretive dyers, kings, pirates, spies and chemists. " John Eidinow, LA Times. "The book is a gem of accessible history. Greenfield is clearly fascinated by her material. The benefit of her fascination is the reader's tour through a world we would never know, and deep understanding of the passions that drove it." Barbara Davenport, San Diego Union Tribune. "[F]luently written and thoroughly researched . a good introduction not only to the history of red, but of microscopes, Conquistadores, the eccentricities of Spanish kings, [and] the thieves of early Seville." Victoria Finlay, author of Colour: Travels Through the Paintbox . "Amy Butler Greenfield's study, 'A Perfect Red,' gives you a new respect for what you might have thought was just another color." Neil Genzlinger, NY Times. "Immensely informative, Greenfield commands her cochineals, yet tells her splendid story simply and with élan." Ross Leckie, The Times (UK) "Combines scientific explanations . with an understanding of the economic workings of empire . grippingly related." Times Literary Supplement. "With insight into personal greed and folly as well as a detailed grasp of fact, Amy Butler Greenfield paints a broad historical panorama, never neglecting the intimate, eccentric, and often absurd human details." Amanda Heller, Boston Globe. "Color is easy to take for granted. But if Amy Butler Greenfield has her way, you'll finish her book with new respect for color, especially for red. With A Perfect Red, she does for it what Mark Kurlansky in Salt did for that common commodity." Barbara Liss, Houston Chronicle. "An extraordinary epic. A tale of political and religious intrigue, piracy, science, the rise of industry, international economics, as well as the mystical, mythical reverence for the color scarlet. I never thought a book about an insect could be so engaging!" Liz Smith, New York Post. "Amy Butler Greenfield . has mined the rich history of cochineal for wonderful stories about the biology of insects, the sociology of fashion, and the economics of colonialism." Laurence A. Marschall, Natural History Magazine. "A Perfect Red blends the history, science and culture of color with the saga of an insect that influenced the world economy for more than five centuries. Greenfield does what the best historical authors do — she follows the thread of a story through history without missing a stitch." Diane Stresing, Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Pirates! Kings! Beautiful ladies! Daring spies! Elements essential for a page-turning action/adventure thriller, yes, but who would think they’d turn up in a scholarly examination of a little-known substance called cochineal? . Greenfield combines the investigative prowess of a detective with the intellectual reasoning of an academician to create an eminently entertaining and educational read." Booklist. "Intricate, fully researched and stylishly written history of Europe's centuries-long clamor for cochineal. Greenfield's absorbing account encompasses the history of European dyers' guilds, the use of pigments by artists such as Rembrandt and Turner, and the changing associations of the color red, from the luxurious robes of kings and cardinals to its latter-day incarnation as the garb of the 'scarlet woman.'" Publisher's Weekly. "A fascinating array of royals, traders, pirates, and entrepreneurs, all vying for the source of the most beautiful crimson ever known. Greenfield packs a dissertation’s worth of history into her story without bogging down in the details. Highly recommended." Library Journal. "A smart blend of science and culture, pleasing to readers of Mark Kurlansky, Philip Ball, and other interpreters of how the things of life, past and present, came to be." Kirkus Reviews. "This book is the story of the search for a color, a perfect and unfading red. It is a fascinating, and largely unknown, story of greed and subterfuge, mixing fashion, folly and ingenuity in equal measure, and Amy Butler Greenfield unravels its mysteries with all the skills of a detective. As she tells it, it is also the most colorful of stories, written with style and verve, and it carries the reader along effortlessly, over centuries and continents. It is a book that should not be missed. A Perfect Red is a perfect read." J. H. Elliott, University of Oxford, author of Imperial Spain. " A Perfect Red is a marvelous book. The lowly Mexican cochineal insect protects itself with carminic acid, which happens to be a brilliant scarlet. Through the tale of this tiny bug, Greenfield has written a dramatic, entertaining history of the world, from the Spanish conquistadors through the invention of synthetic dyes and beyond. Meticulously researched, this saga will enchant lovers of historical mysteries, fascinating characters, and world economics." Mark Pendergrast, author of Uncommon Grounds and Mirror Mirror . "A vivid and fascinating account. told with elegance and wit." Peter Winn, History Book Club..

  • The Ginger, the Pin-Up, Or the Stepchild? Redheadedness As An
    THE GINGER, THE PIN-UP, OR THE STEPCHILD? REDHEADEDNESS AS AN EMBODIED TROPE By Morgan Lee Thornburg A Project Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in English: Applied English Studies Dr. Michael Eldridge, Advisor Dr. Janet Winston, Second Reader Dr. Janet Winston, Program Graduate Coordinator December 2020 ABSTRACT THE GINGER, THE PIN-UP, OR THE STEPCHILD? REDHEADEDNESS AS AN EMBODIED TROPE Morgan Lee Thornburg The study of redheadedness has been largely neglected in the academic community and beyond. Besides a few outdated psychology studies, pop culture books, a handful of student theses, and one dissertation, there has been little investigation regarding how the tropes associated with redheadedness—namely, weakness and unattractiveness in men and unruliness and hypersexuality in women—become embodied. This project considers the way that such tropes are internalized in a variety of “texts”: Scott P. Harris’s documentary, Being Ginger; Marion Roach’s and Jacky Colliss Harvey’s personal narratives; and Tim Minchin’s song (and performance of) “Prejudice,” together with an interview he gave for The Guardian. Using Krista Ratcliffe’s method of rhetorical listening, I reveal the ways that these texts identify and disidentify with redheadedness. Despite the authors’ awareness of redhead-related stereotypes, these texts continue to perpetuate many of those same stereotypes in subtle and complex ways. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .......................................................................................................................

  • Gaspard Dughet: Some Problems in the Connoisseurship of Chalk Drawings
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: GASPARD DUGHET: SOME PROBLEMS IN THE CONNOISSEURSHIP OF CHALK DRAWINGS Sarah Beth Cantor, Master of Arts, 2005 Thesis directed by: Professor Anthony Colantuono Department of Art History and Archaeology Little scholarship has been devoted to the graphic oeuvre of Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675), a prominent landscape painter of the seventeenth century. A number of drawings in red and black chalk have been attributed to Dughet based on their connection to documented paintings. Stylistic comparisons with other examples of Dughet’s work as a draughtsman and technical evidence including medium and watermarks, however, reveal that a group of drawings given to the artist are, in fact, copies done in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Although Dughet’s contributions are under appreciated today, his work influenced the next generation of landscape artists in Italy and abroad, including the British and many Dutch and Flemish artists who traveled to Italy. This thesis examines not only Dughet’s chalk drawings, but the graphic work of his most well-known Northern followers to determine which artist may have executed these copies.

  • Red Cross Society in Imperial China 1904-1912
    Red Cross Society in Imperial China 1904-1912 Yannan (Lukia) Li Ph.D. Student in Philanthropy Studies The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University 550 W. North St., Suite 301 Indianapolis, IN 46202 [email protected] This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the author. The first Geneva conference in 1863 marked the official establishment of Red Cross. It was still a young organization when introduced to China at the turn of the twentieth century. At the time, the state was under the authoritarian reign of the Qing dynasty, with imperial powers from Western countries and Japan colonizing along its border. Famines, rebellions, along with the invasion of foreign military forces, created numerous humanitarian crises that the corrupted imperial system was unable to solve. Meanwhile, the Red Cross model of national humanitarian relief seemed to provide a useful scheme for philanthropic practice in the era of turmoil. In addition to considering the demand side effects, it is important to understand reasons that led to the acceptance and support of this new form of institutional philanthropy, from both liberal-minded individuals and politically conservative government. What aspects of Red Cross appeared to be in line with their interests? How Red Cross Society, a nongovernmental, voluntary organization with a national focus and an international recognition, was adapted to the context of late Qing society? By examining the founding history of the first Chinese Red Cross organization from 1904 to 1912, the paper aims to identify the key factors that contributed to the indigenization of Red Cross in the public and private spheres.

What of the records created during the process of dying and about death? Based upon wide-ranging archival research into primary documents, this thesis explores the rich sources of both official, public records, and personal, private ones, relating to mortality on the small-town Canadian frontier before 1950. The community of Red Lake, Ontario, which was established on the frontier as the result of the Red Lake gold rush of 1926, is the subject of a case study. Rather than merely cataloguing sources, this thesis illustrates that by adapting aspects from such archival appraisal methodologies as macroappraisal and documentation strategy, one is able to make available to researchers a wider range of sources relevant to the themes of dying and death.
