Philosophy 1

One of the foremost Marxist critics of his generation forcefully argues against Marx’s irrelevancy Karl Marx statue, Chemnitz, Germany.

Why Marx Was Right Terry Eagleton Marx’s Communist Manifesto is considered one of the most influential texts of the past two hundred years. With its rich and uncompromising critique of capitalism, Marx transformed our understanding of human history. In the wake of the current devastating financial crisis, is Marxism simply a relic of a different age? In this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes vigorous issue with the argument that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism—that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on—he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx’s own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been shaken to its roots, Why Marx Was Right is as urgent and timely as it is brave and candid. Written with Eagleton’s customary trenchancy, clarity and wit, it will attract an audience far beyond the confines of academia.

Terry Eagleton is currently Bailrigg Professor of English Literature at the University of Lancaster, England, and Professor of Cultural Theory at the National University of Ireland, Galway. NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK

A vivid reappraisal of the legendary Captain Cook, from bestselling biographer Frank McLynn

John Webber, The Death of Cook, 1779. © Dixson Galleries, State Library of New South Wales/The Bridgeman Art Library.

Captain Cook Master of the Seas Frank McLynn The age of discovery was at its peak in the eighteenth century, with heroic adventurers charting the furthest reaches of the globe. Foremost among these explorers was navigator and cartographer Captain James Cook of the British Royal Navy. Recent writers have viewed Cook largely through the lens of colonial exploitation, regarding him as a villain and overlooking an important aspect of his identity: his nautical skills. In this authentic, engrossing biography, Frank McLynn reveals Cook’s place in history as a brave and brilliant seaman. He shows how the Captain’s life was one of struggle— with himself, with institutions, with the environment, with the desire to be remembered—and also one of great success. In Captain Cook, McLynn re-creates the voyages that took the famous navigator from his native England to the outer reaches of the Pacific Ocean. Ultimately, Cook, who began his career as a deckhand, transcended his humble beginnings and triumphed through good fortune, courage and talent. Although Cook died in a senseless, avoidable conflict with the people of Hawaii, McLynn illustrates that to the men with whom he served, Cook was master of the seas and nothing less than a titan. Frank McLynn is a highly regarded historian specialising in biographies and military history. He has written more than twenty books, including April Richard and John: Kings at War, Napoleon and Marcus Aurelius: A Life. 480 pp. 234x156mm. 40 colour illus. + 14 maps & charts ISBN 978-0-300-11421-8 £25.00* Spring 2011 Catalogue:1 21/10/10 12:09 Page 3

The prosecutor calls it an act of of the Supreme Court vengeance: just weeks before Malakov was killed in cold blood, he was given custody of Michelle for inexplicable reasons. It is the ‘Dickensian ordeal’ of Borukhova’s innocent child that drives Malcolm’s inquiry. With the intellectual and emotional precision for which she is known, Malcolm looks at the trial—‘a contest between competing narratives’— from every conceivable angle. It is the chasm between our ideals of justice and the human factors that influence every trial—from divergent lawyering abilities to the nature of jury selection, the malleability of evidence and the disposition of the judge—that is perhaps most striking.

4 History

From a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, a riveting account of the great expeditions of Antarctica’s Heroic Age that restores their status as grand scientific enterprises Camp on the Beardmore Glacier.

An Empire of Ice Scott, Shackleton, and the Heroic Age of Antarctic Science Edward J. Larson Published to coincide with the centenary of the first expeditions to reach the South Pole, An Empire of Ice presents a fascinating new take on Antarctic exploration. Retold with added information, it’s the first book to place the famed voyages of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, his British rivals Robert Scott and Ernest Shackleton, and others, in a larger scientific, social and geopolitical context. Efficient, well prepared, and focused solely on the goal of getting to his destination and back, Amundsen has earned his place in history as the first to reach the South Pole. Scott, meanwhile, has been reduced in the public mind to a dashing incompetent who stands for little more than relentless perseverance in the face of inevitable defeat. An Empire of Ice offers a new perspective on the Antarctic expeditions of the early twentieth century by looking at the British efforts for what they “Larson’s beautifully written narrative actually were: massive scientific enterprises in which reaching the South takes in the triumph and tragedy of Pole was but a spectacular sideshow. By focusing on the larger purpose, the polar expeditions, and sheds new Edward Larson deepens our appreciation of the explorers’ achievements, light on the scientific culture of the shares little-known stories and shows what the Heroic Age of Antarctic age.

A radically new account of the architecture of England’s castles over six centuries Photograph: Richmond Castle, Yorkshire. © Country Life.

The English Castle 1066–1650 John Goodall From coast to coast, the English landscape is still richly studded with castles both great and small. As homes or ruins, these historic buildings are today largely objects of curiosity. For centuries, however, they were at the heart of the kingdom’s social and political life. The English Castle is a richly illustrated architectural study that sets this legion of buildings in historical context, tracing their development from the Norman Conquest in 1066 through the Civil Wars of the 1640s. In this compellingly written volume, John Goodall brings to life the history of the English castle over six centuries. In it he explores the varied architecture of these buildings and describes their changing role in warfare, politics, domestic living and governance. Chronologically organised, with chapters corresponding to the reigns of monarchs, the development of castles is placed firmly in a historical context and equal emphasis is given to buildings of every period, revealing in the process that the richness of the castle building tradition in England continued far beyond its popularly accepted end at the close of the Middle Ages. John Goodall is architectural editor of Country Life.

implications Thousands of Zimbabweans stand in a queue, waiting to cast their vote, 10 March 2002, at a Harare polling station. Yoav Lemmer/AFP/Getty Images.

Southern Africa Old Treacheries and New Deceits Stephen Chan In this timely and essential book, Stephen Chan explores the political landscape of southern Africa, examining how it’s poised to change over the next years and what the repercussions are likely to be across the continent. He focuses on three countries in particular: South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, all of which have remained interconnected since the end of colonial rule and the overthrow of apartheid. One of the key themes in the book is the relationship between South Africa and Zimbabwe, and Chan sheds new light on the shared intellectual capacities and interests of the two countries’ respective presidents, Jacob Zuma and Robert Mugabe. Along the way, the personalities and abilities of key players, such as Morgan Tsvangirai, the prime minister of Zimbabwe, and former South African president Thabo Mbeki, emerge in honest and sometimes surprising detail. In Southern Africa, Chan draws on three decades of experience to provide the definitive inside guide to this complex region and offer insight on how the near future is likely to be a litmus test, not just for this trio of countries but for all of Africa. Stephen Chan is Professor of International Relations at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. He writes regularly for Prospect magazine and the New Statesman. His many publications include Robert Mugabe: A Life of Power and Violence. Chan was recently May awarded an OBE for his work in Africa. 304 pp. 234x156mm. 16 pp. b/w illus.

The Forgotten Palestinians A History of the Palestinians in Israel Ilan Pappé For more than 60 years, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have lived as Israeli citizens within the borders of the nation formed at the end of the 1948 conflict. Occupying a precarious middle ground between the Jewish citizens of Israel and the dispossessed Palestinians of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Palestinians have developed an exceedingly complex relationship with the land they call home; however, in the innumerable discussions of the Israel-Palestine problem, their experiences are often overlooked and forgotten. In this book, historian Ilan Pappé examines how Israeli Palestinians have fared under Jewish rule and what their lives tell us about both Israel’s attitude toward minorities and Palestinians’ attitudes toward the Jewish state. Drawing upon significant archival and interview material, Pappé analyses the Israeli state’s policy towards its Palestinians citizens, finding discrimination in matters of housing, education and civil rights. “Ilan Pappé is Israel’s bravest, most Rigorously researched yet highly readable, The Forgotten Palestinians principled, most incisive historian.” brings a new and much-needed perspective to the Israel-Palestine —John Pilger debate.

8 Current Affairs/History Afghanistan How the West Lost Its Way Tim Bird and Alex Marshall In October 2001, NATO forces invaded Afghanistan. Their initial aim, to topple the Taliban regime and replace it with a more democratic government aligned to Western interests, was swiftly achieved. However, stabilising the country in the ensuing years has proven more difficult. Despite billions of dollars in aid and military expenditure, Afghanistan remains a nation riddled with warlords, a major heroin producer and a site of endless conflict between Islamist militants and NATO forces. In this timely and important book, Tim Bird and Alex Marshall offer a panoramic view of international involvement in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2010. They weave together analysis of military strategy, regional context, aid policy, the Afghan government and the many disagreements between and within the Western powers involved in the intervention. Given the complicating factors of the heroin trade, unwelcoming terrain and precarious relations with Pakistan, the authors acknowledge the ways in which Afghanistan has presented unique challenges for its foreign invaders. Ultimately, however, they argue that the international community has failed in its self-imposed effort to solve Afghanistan’s problems and that there are broader lessons to be learned from their struggle, particularly in terms of counterinsurgency and the ever-complicated work of ‘nation-building’.

Tibet A History Sam van Schaik Situated north of the Himalayas, Tibet is famous for its unique culture and its controversial assimilation into modern China. Yet Tibet in the twenty-first century can only be properly understood in the context of its extraordinary history. Sam van Schaik brings the history of Tibet to life by telling the stories of the people involved, from the glory days of the Tibetan empire in the seventh century through to the present day. He explores the emergence of Tibetan Buddhism and the rise of the Dalai Lamas, Tibet’s entanglement in the ‘Great Game’ in the early twentieth century, its submission to Chinese Communist rule in the 1950s and the troubled recent decades. Tibet sheds light on the country’s complex relationship with China and explains often-misunderstood aspects of its culture, such as reborn lamas, monasteries and hermits, The Tibetan Book of the Dead and the role of the Dalai Lama. Van Schaik works through the layers of history and myth to create a compelling narrative, one that offers readers a greater understanding of this important and controversial corner of the world. Sam van Schaik is an expert on the early history of Tibet and Tibetan April Buddhism.

A fresh exploration of the Second World War through twelve key events that shaped the conflict Smoke pours from an aircraft at a military airfield near Pearl Harbour, 7 December 1941. Getty Images.

Twelve Turning Points of the Second World War P. M. H. Bell The Battle of Britain. Pearl Harbor. Stalingrad. D-Day. These defining events of the Second World War exemplify both the immense heroism and the grievous costs of global conflict. They are the tense, thrilling moments that had the potential to swing the war in favour of either side and in turn change the course of history. In this gripping new look at the twentieth century’s most crucial conflict, historian P. M. H. Bell analyses twelve unique turning points that determined the character and the ultimate outcome of the Second World War. Be they military campaigns, economic actions or diplomatic summits, Bell’s twelve turning points span the full breadth of the war, from the home front to the front line. Many are familiar—Barbarossa and Hiroshima among them—while sections on war production, the Atlantic convoy system, and the conferences at Tehran and Yalta emphasise the importance of the combatants’ actions off the battlefield. “Philip Bell’s lucid and fascinating Through these keenly narrated episodes, Bell reveals how the Allied analysis is able to highlight the and Axis powers achieved their greatest successes and stumbled into uncertainties of the Second World their strategic failures, inviting us to think about the Second World War, and show that its outcome was War in a fresh, stimulating way. Ultimately, his close study of these at many points less predictable than dozen turning points reminds us, often terrifyingly, how easily things we often presume.”—Ian Kershaw might have turned out differently.

Boredom A Lively History Peter Toohey In the first book to argue for the benefits of boredom, Peter Toohey dispels the myth that it’s simply a childish emotion or an existential malaise like Jean-Paul Sartre’s nausea. He shows how boredom is, in fact, one of our most common and constructive emotions and is an essential part of the human experience. This informative and entertaining investigation of boredom—what it is and what it isn’t, its uses and its dangers—spans more than 3,000 years of history and takes readers through fascinating neurological and psychological theories of emotion, as well as recent scientific investigations, to illustrate its role in our lives. There are Australian aboriginals and bored Romans, Jeffrey Archer and caged cockatoos, Camus and the early Christians, Dürer and Degas. Toohey also explores the important role that boredom plays in popular and highbrow culture and how over the centuries it has proven to be a stimulus for art and Peter Toohey is a Professor of Greek literature. and Roman Studies at the University Toohey shows that boredom is a universal emotion experienced by of Calgary.

Love A Secret History Simon May Love—unconditional, selfless, unchanging, sincere and totally accepting—is worshipped today as the West’s only universal religion. To challenge it is one of our few remaining taboos. In this pathbreaking and superbly written book, philosopher Simon May does just that, dissecting our resilient ruling ideas of love and showing how they are the product of a long and powerful cultural heritage. Tracing over 2,500 years of human thought and history, May shows how our ideal of love developed from its Hebraic and Greek origins alongside Christianity until, during the last two centuries, ‘God is love’ became ‘love is God’—so hubristic, so escapist, so untruthful to the real nature of love, that it has booby-trapped relationships everywhere with deluded expectations.

12 Literary Studies C. S. Lewis’s Lost Aeneid Arms and the Exile Edited by A. T. Reyes C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) is best remembered as a literary critic, essayist, theologian and novelist, and his famed tales The Chronicles of Narnia and The Screwtape Letters have been read by millions. Now, A. T. Reyes reveals a different side of this diverse man of letters: translator. Reyes introduces the surviving fragments of Lewis’s translation of Virgil’s epic poem, which were rescued from a bonfire. They are presented in parallel with the Latin text, and are accompanied by synopses of missing sections, and an informative glossary making them accessible to the general reader. In A Preface to Paradise Lost Lewis writes, ‘Virgil uses something more subtle than mere length of time . . . It is this which gives the reader of the Aeneid the sense of having lived through so much. No man who has read it with full perception remains an adolescent’. Lewis’s admiration for the Aeneid, written in the 1st century BC and unfolding the adventures of Aeneas, a Trojan who travelled to Italy and became the ancestor of the Romans, is evident in his remarkably lyrical translation. C. S. Lewis’s Lost Aeneid is part detective story, as Reyes recounts the dramatic rescue of the fragments and his efforts to collect and organise them, and part illuminating look at a lesser-known and intriguing aspect of Lewis’s work.

The Anatomy of Influence Literature as a Way of Life Harold Bloom For more than half a century, Bloom has shared his profound knowledge of the written word with students and readers. In this, his most comprehensive and accessible study of influence, Bloom leads us through the labyrinthine paths which link the writers and critics who have informed and inspired him for so many years. The result is ‘a critical self-portrait’, a sustained meditation on a life lived with and through the great works of the Western canon: Why has influence been my lifelong obsessive concern? Why have certain writers found me and not others? What is the end of a literary life? Featuring extended analyses of Shakespeare, Whitman and Crane, as well as inspired appreciations of Emerson, Tennyson, Browning, Yeats, Ashbery and others, The Anatomy of Influence adapts Bloom’s classic work The Anxiety of Influence to show us what great literature is, how it comes to be and why it matters. Each chapter maps startling new literary connections that suddenly seem inevitable once Bloom has shown us how to listen and to read. A fierce and intimate appreciation of the art of literature on a scale that the author will not again attempt, The Anatomy of Influence follows the sublime works it studies, inspiring the reader with a sense of something ever more about to be.

Music 13

The definitive biography of the celebrated composer, published in English to coincide with the centenary of his death The Vienna court opera.

Gustav Mahler Jens Malte Fischer • Translated by Stewart Spencer A bestseller when first published in Germany in 2003, Jens Malte Fischer’s Gustav Mahler has been lauded by scholars as a landmark work. He draws on important primary resources—some unavailable to previous biographers—and sets in narrative context the extensive correspondence between Mahler and his wife, Alma; Alma Mahler’s diaries; and the memoirs of Natalie Bauer-Lechner, a viola player and close friend of Mahler, whose private journals provide insight into the composer’s personal and professional lives and his creative process. Fischer explores Mahler’s early life, his relationship to literature, his achievements as a conductor in Vienna and New York, his unhappy marriage, and his work with the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic in his later years. He also illustrates why Mahler is a prime example of artistic idealism worn down by Austrian anti- Semitism and American commercialism. Gustav Mahler is the best- sourced and most balanced biography available about the composer, a nuanced and intriguing portrait of his dramatic life set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America and fin de siècle Europe. “Much more than a biography . . . It is a portrait of an entire epoch.” —Hans Rudolf Vaget, Smith College Jens Malte Fischer is Professor of the History of Theatre at the University of Munich. Stewart Spencer is an acclaimed translator whose work includes biographies of Richard Wagner, Cosima Wagner and W. A. Mozart, all published by Yale.

Holy Bones, Holy Dust How Relics Shaped the History of Medieval Europe Charles Freeman Relics were everywhere in medieval society. Saintly morsels such as bones, hair, teeth and clothes, and items like the Crown of Thorns, coveted by Louis IX of France, were thought to bring the believer closer to the saint who might intercede with God on his or her behalf. In the first comprehensive history in English of the rise of relic cults, Charles Freeman takes readers on a vivid, fast-paced journey from Constantinople to the northern Isles of Scotland over the course of a millennium. Freeman illustrates that the pervasiveness and variety of relics answered specific needs of ordinary people across a darkened Europe under threat of political upheavals, disease and hellfire. But relics were not only venerated —they were traded, collected, lost, stolen, duplicated and destroyed. They were bargaining chips, good business and good propaganda, politically appropriated across Europe, and even used to wield military power. Freeman examines an expansive array of relics, showing how the mania for Charles Freeman is Historical these objects deepens our understanding of the medieval world and why Consultant to the prestigious relics continue to capture our imagination.

16 Science Journey of the Universe Brian Thomas Swimme and Mary Evelyn Tucker Today we know what no previous generation knew: the history of the universe and of the unfolding of life on Earth. Through the astonishing combined achievements of natural scientists worldwide, we now have a detailed account of how galaxies and stars, planets and living organisms, human beings and human consciousness came to be. And yet we thirst for answers to questions that have haunted humanity from the very beginning. What is our place in the 14-billion-year history of the universe? What roles do we play in Earth’s history? How do we connect with the intricate web of life on Earth? In Journey of the Universe, Brian Thomas Swimme and Mary Evelyn Tucker tell the epic story of the universe from an inspired new perspective, weaving the findings of modern science together with enduring wisdom found in the humanistic traditions of the West, China, India and indigenous peoples.

The New Universe and the Human Future How a Shared Cosmology Could Transform the World Nancy Ellen Abrams and Joel R. Primack After a four-century rupture between science and the questions of value and meaning, this groundbreaking book presents an explosive and potentially life-altering idea: if the world could agree on a shared creation story based on modern cosmology and biology—a story that has just become available—it would redefine our relationship with Planet Earth and benefit all of humanity, now and into the distant future. Written in eloquent, accessible prose and illustrated in magnificent colour throughout, including images from innovative simulations of the evolving universe, this book brings the new scientific picture of the universe alive. It interprets what our human place in the cosmos may mean for us and our descendants. It offers unique insights on the potential use of this newfound knowledge to find solutions to seemingly intractable global problems such as climate change and unsustainable growth. And it explains why we need to ‘think cosmically, act globally’ if we’re going to have a long-term, prosperous future on Earth.

Science 17

The story of the discovery of Bayes’ rule and how a seemingly simple theorem ignited one of the greatest scientific controversies of all time

The Theory That Would Not Die How Bayes’ Rule Cracked the Enigma Code, Hunted Down Russian Submarines, and Emerged Triumphant from Two Centuries of Controversy Sharon Bertsch McGrayne Bayes’ rule appears to be a straightforward, one-line theorem: by updating our initial beliefs with objective new information, we get a new and improved belief. To its adherents, it is an elegant statement about learning from experience. To its opponents, it is subjectivity run amok. In the first-ever account of Bayes’ rule for general readers, McGrayne explores this controversial theorem and the human obsessions surrounding it. She traces its discovery by an amateur mathematician in the 1740s through its development into roughly its modern form by French scientist Pierre Simon Laplace. She reveals why respected statisticians rendered it professionally taboo for 150 years—at the same time that practitioners relied on it to solve crises involving great uncertainty and scanty information, even breaking Germany’s Enigma code during World War II, Sharon Bertsch McGrayne is the and explains how the advent of off-the-shelf computer technology in the author of numerous books.

The Hollywood Sign Fantasy and Reality of an American Icon Leo Braudy Hollywood’s famous sign, constructed of massive white block letters set into a steep hillside, is an emblem of the movie capital it looms over and an international symbol of glamour and star power. How an advertisement erected in 1923, touting the real estate development Hollywoodland, took on a life of its own is a story worthy of the entertainment world that is its focus. Leo Braudy traces the remarkable history of this distinctly American landmark, which has been saved over the years by a disparate group of fans and supporters, who spearheaded its reconstruction in the 1970s. He also uses the sign’s history to offer an intriguing look at the rise of the movie business from its earliest, silent days through the development of the studio system that helped define modern Hollywood. Mixing social history, urban studies, literature and film, along with forays into such topics as the lure of Hollywood for utopian communities and the development of domestic architecture in Los Angeles, The Hollywood Sign is a fascinating account of how a temporary structure has become a permanent icon of American culture. Leo Braudy is a cultural historians and film critic. His most recent book was From Chivalry to Terrorism. He currently is University Professor and Leo S. Bing Chair in English and American Literature at the University of Southern California.

Joe DiMaggio The Long Vigil Jerome Charyn As the New York Yankees’ star centre fielder from 1936 to 1951, Joe DiMaggio is enshrined in America’s memory as the epitome in sports of grace, dignity and that ineffable quality called ‘class’. But his career after retirement, starting with his nine-month marriage to Marilyn Monroe, was far less auspicious. Writers like Gay Talese and Richard Ben Cramer have painted the private DiMaggio as cruel or self-centred. Now, Jerome Charyn restores the image of this American icon, looking at DiMaggio’s life in a more sympathetic light. DiMaggio was a man of extremes, superbly talented on the field but privately insecure, passive and dysfunctional. He never understood that for Monroe, on her own complex and tragic journey, marriage was a career move; he remained passionately committed to her throughout his life. He allowed himself to be turned into a sports memorabilia money machine. In the end, unable to define any role for himself other than ‘Greatest Living Ballplayer’, he became trapped in ‘a horrible kind of minutia’. But where others have seen little that was human behind that minutia, Charyn in Joe DiMaggio presents the tragedy of one of American sports’ greatest figures. Icons of AmericaIcons series Jerome Charyn is the author of Johnny One-Eye, The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson and The Seventh Babe.

Bye Bye Kitty!!! Between Heaven and Hell in Contemporary Japanese Art David Elliott • With a contribution by Tetsuya Ozaki In recent decades Japanese art has achieved immense popularity in the West while being little understood. Critics have focused on the superficiality and infantilism they find prevalent in much of the work, while many Westerners are familiar with the country’s artistic side solely through manga and anime. Bye Bye Kitty!!! offers a more incisive and wide-ranging view of the contemporary Japanese art scene, depicted through the works of fifteen artists, working in painting, sculpture, installation, photography and video. The book’s title invokes the subtle irony and subversive techniques adopted by this new generation of artists in their rebellion against the kawaii, or ‘cute’, aesthetic of mainstream Japanese culture. An essay by David Elliott provides an overview of the artists and explores many of Exhibition the societal questions, such as the role of feminism, the rise of the Japan Society, New York, ‘salaryman’ and reflections on the bombings of Hiroshima and 12/03/11–13/06/11 Nagasaki, featured in their works.

20 Paperbacks On Evil Terry Eagleton For many enlightened, liberal-minded thinkers today, and for most on the political left, evil is an outmoded concept. It smacks too much of absolute judgements and metaphysical certainties to suit the modern age. In this witty, accessible study, the prominent Marxist thinker Terry Eagleton launches a surprising defence of the reality of evil, drawing on literary, theological and psychoanalytic sources to suggest that evil, no mere medieval artefact, is a real phenomenon with palpable force in our contemporary world. “Terry Eagleton, in his jaunty and surprisingly entertaining book on the subject, takes the unfashionable view that such a thing as evil does exist . . . His argument is subtle, intricate, provocative and limpidly expressed.”—John Banville, Irish Times “Eagleton . . . has scoured the worlds of literature, psychiatry and politics in a heroic attempt to come up with an all-encompassing definition of what constitutes true evil.”—Dominic Lawson, The Times An impassioned argument for “We Christians have had a lot to thank Eagleton for. Not only did he the existence of evil from one write, in Reason, Faith and Revolution, the most enjoyable response to the of the most respected and new atheism, but he’s now published another thoroughly enjoyable book influential critics of our day that all but restores evil to its rightful place.”—Richard Coles, The Observer Terry Eagleton is currently Bailrigg Professor of English Literature at the University of Lancaster and Professor of Cultural Theory at the May 192 pp. 210x140mm.

Losing Control The Emerging Threats to Western Prosperity Stephen D. King As the economic giants of Asia and elsewhere have awakened, Western leaders have increasingly struggled to maintain economic stability.

Paperbacks 21 Absence of Mind The Dispelling of Inwardness from the Modern Myth of the Self Marilynne Robinson In this ambitious book, acclaimed writer Marilynne Robinson applies her astute intellect to some of the most vexing topics in the history of human thought—science, religion and consciousness. Crafted with the same care and insight as her award-winning novels, Absence of Mind challenges postmodern atheists who crusade against religion under the banner of science. In Robinson’s view, scientific reasoning does not denote a sense of logical infallibility, as thinkers like Richard Dawkins might suggest. Instead, in its purest form, science represents a search for answers. It engages the problem of knowledge, an aspect of the mystery of consciousness, rather than providing a simple and final model of reality. “Takes the science-versus-religion debate a stage further . . . Robinson’s argument is prophetic, profound, eloquent, succinct, powerful and timely.”—Karen Armstrong, The Guardian “A wonderful little book, full of wisdom, warmth and wit . . .

22 Paperbacks Marking the Hours English People and Their Prayers, 1240–1570 Eamon Duffy In this richly illustrated book, religious historian Eamon Duffy discusses the Book of Hours, unquestionably the most intimate and most widely used book of the later Middle Ages. He examines surviving copies of the personal prayer books, which were used for private, domestic devotions, and in which people commonly left traces of their lives, and he teases out precious clues to the private thoughts and public contexts of their owners, and insights into the times in which they lived and prayed. “This is a glorious feast of a book.

Europe Between the Oceans 9000 BC–AD 1000 Barry Cunliffe Europe is a relatively minor peninsula attached to the Eurasian land mass, yet it became one of the most innovative regions on the planet, bearing restless adventurers who traversed the globe to trade and settle. In this magnificent book, archaeologist Barry Cunliffe sees Europe not in terms of states and shifting land boundaries, but as a geographical niche particularly favoured in facing many seas. These and the great transpeninsular rivers ensured a rich diversity of natural resources, and encouraged the interaction of dynamic peoples across networks of communication and exchange. Weaving together titanic concepts in an engaging manner, Europe Between the Oceans is a tour de force. “A masterwork, a gloriously sweeping survey of the early history of Europe drawn by a scholar and archaeologist at the very peak of his powers.”—Alistair Moffat, The Scotsman “An admirable distillation of an enormous amount of evidence—full of what is beautiful, interesting and (it would seem) true.” —James Fenton, The Sunday Times Barry Cunliffe is Professor Emeritus of Archaeology at the University of Oxford, and is the author of over fifteen books.

A New History of Early Christianity Charles Freeman The relevance of Christianity is as hotly contested today as it has ever been. A New History of Early Christianity shows how our current debates are rooted in the many controversies surrounding the birth of the religion and the earliest attempts to resolve them. Charles Freeman’s meticulous historical account of Christianity from its birth in Judaea in the first century A.D. to the emergence of Western and Eastern churches by A.D. 600 reveals that it was a distinctive, vibrant and incredibly diverse movement brought into order at the cost of intellectual and spiritual vitality. Against the conventional narrative of the inevitable ‘triumph’ of a single distinct Christianity, Freeman shows that there was a host of competing Christianities, many of which had as much claim to authenticity as those that eventually dominated.

Paperbacks 23 Burghley William Cecil at the Court of Elizabeth I Stephen Alford William Cecil, Lord Burghley was Elizabeth I’s closest adviser and, as this biography shows, the driving force behind the Queen’s reign for four decades. Cecil, the rock of Elizabeth’s government, had a deep impact on the development of the English state. A committed Protestant, he guided the domestic and foreign affairs of the nation with the confidence of his religious conviction. This comprehensive biography gives proper weight to Cecil’s formative years, his subtle navigation of the reigns of Edward VI and Mary I, his lifelong enmity with Mary Queen of Scots, and his obsession with family dynasty. Intimate, authoritative and enormously readable, this book redefines our understanding of the Elizabethan period. “A classic example of history written to the highest standards of professional scholarship, but also given a style and subject matter that make it an exciting experience for any intelligent reader.”—Ronald Hutton, The Independent on Sunday “[An] excellent biography . . .

1688 The First Modern Revolution Steve Pincus By expanding the interpretive lens to include a broader geographical and chronological frame, Steve Pincus demonstrates that England’s Glorious Revolution was a European event, that it took place over a number of years, not months, and that it had repercussions in India, North America, the West Indies and throughout continental Europe. His rich historical narrative, based on masses of new archival research, traces the transformation of English foreign policy, religious culture and political economy that, he argues, was the intended consequence of the revolutionaries of 1688–1689. “An engaging read . . . this book will unquestionably become a major talking-point among all interested in Britain’s last revolution.”—Ted Vallance, BBC History Magazine “Mr. Pincus’s cogently argued account of what really happened during England’s revolution destroys many comforting notions that have prevailed for more than 200 years . . . It leaves the reader with something much more exciting: a new understanding of the origins of the modern, liberal state.”—The Economist Steven Pincus is Professor of History at Yale University.

Anne Boleyn Fatal Attractions G. W. Bernard In this groundbreaking biography, G. W. Bernard offers a fresh portrait of one of England’s most captivating queens. Through a forensic examination of sixteenth-century sources, Bernard reconsiders Boleyn’s girlhood, experience at the French court, the nature of her relationship with Henry and the authenticity of her evangelical sympathies. He depicts Anne as a charismatic, intelligent and highly sexual woman whose attractions Henry resisted for years until marriage could ensure legitimacy for their offspring. He shows that it was Henry, not Anne, who developed the ideas that led to the break with Rome. Most radically, he argues that the allegations of adultery that led to Anne’s execution in the Tower could be close to the truth. “Bernard is an outstandingly diligent and resourceful archival historian.”—Peter Marshall, Literary Review “Bernard deals with historical reputations and questions of guilt and innocence in his magnificent new life of Anne Boleyn . . . brilliantly argued.”—Linda Porter, History Today G. W. Bernard is Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Southampton, and editor of the English Historical Review.

24 Paperbacks A Reader on Reading Alberto Manguel In this major collection of his essays, Alberto Manguel argues that the activity of reading, in its broadest sense, defines our species. ‘We come into the world intent on finding narrative in everything’, writes Manguel, ‘landscape, the skies, the faces of others, the images and words that our species create’. Reading our own lives and those of others, reading the societies we live in and those that lie beyond our borders, reading the worlds that lie between the covers of a book are the essence of A Reader on Reading. “Alberto Manguel is the Scheherazade of books: throughout the night in his personal library, he reads not only to save his life as a literary man but also to increase it. In reading, he realises that there are a thousand and one stories to be told about books, each narrative or anecdote leading to and from another, in an infinite progression or complex maze of allusions . . . [A Reader on Reading] is an invitation to readers to enter into a world of wonders.”—Iain Finlayson, The Times “Books jump out of their jackets when Manguel opens them and dance in delight as they make contact with his ingenious, voluminous brain.”—Peter Conrad, The Observer Alberto Manguel is the best-selling author of several award-winning books, including The Library at Night, also published by Yale.

Cosima Wagner The Lady of Bayreuth Oliver Hilmes • Translated by Stewart Spencer In this meticulously researched book, Oliver Hilmes paints a fascinating and revealing picture of the extraordinary Cosima Wagner—illegitimate daughter of Franz Liszt, wife of the conductor Hans von Bulow, then mistress and subsequently wife of Richard Wagner. After Wagner’s death in 1883 Cosima played a crucial role in the promulgation and politicisation of his works, assuming control of the Bayreuth Festival and transforming it into a shrine to German nationalism. The High Priestess of the Wagnerian cult, Cosima lived on for almost fifty years, crafting the image of Richard Wagner through her organisational ability and ideological tenacity. The first book to make use of the available documentation at Bayreuth, this engaging biography explores the achievements of this remarkable and obsessive woman while illuminating a still-hidden chapter of European cultural history. “An extraordinary life and an important slice of German cultural history.”—Adam Lively, The Sunday Times “Oliver Hilmes has written by far the best biography of her . . . His book is a model of scholarship and also compellingly readable . . . A major achievement.”—Michael Tanner, BBC Music Magazine Oliver Hilmes is the author of a best-selling biography of Alma Mahler.

History 25 Whispering City Rome and its Histories R. J. B. Bosworth In Civilization and Its Discontents, Sigmund Freud claimed that Rome must be comprehended as ‘not a human dwelling place but a mental entity’, in which the palaces of the Caesars still stand alongside modern apartment buildings in layers of brick, mortar and memory. ‘The observer would need merely to shift the focus of his eyes, perhaps, or change his position, in order to call up a view of either the one or the other’. In this one-of-a-kind book, historian Richard Bosworth accepts Freud’s challenge, drawing upon his expertise in Italian pasts to explore the many layers of history found within the Eternal City. Often beginning his analysis with sites and monuments that can still be found in contemporary Rome, Bosworth expands his scope to review how political groups of different eras—the Catholic Church, makers of the Italian nation, Fascists and ‘ordinary’ Romans (be they citizens, immigrants or tourists)—read meaning into the city around them. Weaving in the city’s quintessential figures (Garibaldi, Pius XII, Mussolini and Berlusconi) and An accomplished Italianist looks architectural icons (the Vatican, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Victor Emmanuel beyond Rome’s storied facades to Monument and EUR) with those forgotten or unknown, Bosworth offer insight into the many explores the many histories that whisper their rival and competing histories of one of the world’s messages and seek to impose their truth upon the passing crowds. But as this delightful study will reveal, Rome, magisterial palimpsest, has never best-loved cities accepted a single reading of its historic meaning. A renowned Anglophone Italianist, R. J. B.

The Ancient Oracles Making the Gods Speak Richard Stoneman For more than a thousand years, Greeks in all walks of life consulted oracles for guidance received directly from the gods. This colourful and wide-ranging survey encompasses the entire history of Greek oracles and focuses fresh attention on philosophical, psychological and anthropological aspects of oracular consultation. It also examines how Greek oracles’ practices were distinctive compared to those of their neighbours, especially in Egypt, Babylon and Israel. Richard Stoneman weaves a fascinating historical tapestry, taking into account the different kinds of oracles (healers, advisors, prophets and others), their most important sanctuaries, debates about them among ancient thinkers and Christian attacks against them. Delving into the reasons behind the oracles’ enduring position at the heart of Greek culture, Stoneman offers fresh insights into pagan religious practice and the history of Greek intellectual and spiritual life.

26 History The English Aristocracy, 1070–1272 A Social Transformation David Crouch William the Conqueror’s victory in 1066 was the beginning of a period of major transformation for medieval English aristocrats. In this groundbreaking book, David Crouch examines for the first time the fate of the English aristocracy between the reigns of the Conqueror and Edward I. Offering an original explanation of medieval society—one that no longer employs traditional ‘feudal’ or‘bastard feudal’ models—Crouch argues that society remade itself around the emerging principle of nobility in the generations on either side of 1200, marking the beginning of the ancien régime. The book describes the transformation in aristocrats’ expectations, conduct, piety and status; in expressions of social domination; and in the relationship with the monarchy. Synchronising English social history with non-English scholarship, Crouch places England’s experience of change within a broader European transformation and highlights England’s important role in the process. With his accustomed skill, Crouch redefines a fascinating era and the noble class that emerged from it. David Crouch is Professor of Medieval History, University of Hull.

The Future of History John Lukacs For more than sixty years, John Lukacs has been writing, teaching and reading about the past. In this inspired volume, he turns his attention to the future. Throughout The Future of History, Lukacs reflects on his discipline, eloquently arguing that the writing and teaching of history are literary rather than scientific, comprising knowledge that is neither wholly objective nor subjective. History at its best, he contends, is personal and participatory. Despite a recently unprecedented appetite for history among the general public, as evidenced by history television programme ratings, sales of popular history books and increased participation in local historical societies, Lukacs believes that the historical profession is in a state of disarray. He traces a decline in history teaching throughout higher education, matched by a corresponding reduction in the number of history students. He reviews a series of short-lived fads within the profession that have weakened the fundamentals of the field. In looking for a way forward, Lukacs explores the critical relationships between history and literature, including ways in which novelists have contributed to historical understanding. Through this startling and enlightening work, readers will understand Lukacs’s assertion that ‘everything has its history, including history’ and that history itself has a future, since everything we know comes from the past. John Lukacs is the author of some thirty books of history, including the acclaimed Five Days in London and, most recently, The Legacy of the Second World War, both published by Yale.

Contesting Democracy Political Ideas in Twentieth Century Europe Jan-Werner Müller This book is the first major account of political thought in twentieth-century Europe—both West and East—to appear since the end of the Cold War. Skilfully blending intellectual, political and cultural history, Jan-Werner Müller elucidates the ideas that shaped the period of ideological extremes before 1945 and the liberalisation of West European politics after the Second World War. He also offers vivid portraits of famous as well as unjustly forgotten political thinkers and the movements and institutions they inspired. Müller pays particular attention to ideas advanced to justify fascism and how they relate to the special kind of liberal democracy that was created in postwar Western Europe. He also explains the impact of the 1960s and neoliberalism, ending with a critical assessment of today’s self-consciously post-ideological age. Jan-Werner Müller teaches politics at Princeton University. His previous books include A Dangerous Mind: Carl Schmitt in Post- War European Thought and Another Country: German Intellectuals, Unification and National Identity, both published by Yale.

History 27 George II King and Elector Andrew C. Thompson Despite a long and eventful reign, Britain’s George II is a largely forgotten monarch, his achievements overlooked and his abilities misunderstood. This landmark biography uncovers extensive new evidence in British and German archives, making possible the most complete and accurate assessment of this thirty-three-year reign. Andrew C. Thompson paints a richly detailed portrait of the many- faceted monarch in his public as well as his private life. Born in Hanover in 1683, George Augustus first came to London in 1714 as the new Prince of Wales. He assumed the throne in 1727, held it until his death in 1760, and has the distinction of being Britain’s last foreign-born king and the last king to lead an army in battle. With George’s story at its heart, the book reconstructs his thoughts and actions through a careful reading of the letters and papers of those around him. Thompson explores the previously underappreciated roles George played in the political processes of Britain, especially in foreign policy, and as a patron of the arts. He also charts the intricacies of the king’s complicated relationships and reassesses the lasting impact of his frequent return trips to Hanover. George II emerges from these pages as an independent and cosmopolitan figure of undeniable historical fascination. May 352 pp. 234x156mm. 24 b/w illus. Andrew C.

Æthelstan The First King of England Sarah Foot The powerful and innovative King Æthelstan reigned only briefly (924–939), yet his achievements during those eventful fifteen years changed the course of English history. He won spectacular military victories (most notably at Brunanburh), forged unprecedented political connections across Europe, and succeeded in creating the first unified kingdom of the English. To claim for him the title of ‘first English monarch’ is no exaggeration.

In this nuanced portrait of Æthelstan, Sarah Foot offers the first full MONARCHS YALE ENGLISH account of the king ever written. She traces his life through the various spheres in which he lived and worked, beginning with the intimate context of his family, then extending outward to his unusual multi- ethnic royal court, the Church and his kingdom, the wars he conducted, and finally his death and legacy. Foot describes a sophisticated man who was not only a great military leader but also a worthy king. He governed brilliantly, developed creative ways to project his image as a ruler, and devised strategic marriage treaties and gift exchanges to cement alliances with the leading royal and ducal houses of Europe. Æthelstan’s legacy, seen in the new light of this masterful biography, is inextricably connected to the very forging of England May and early English identity. 336 pp. 234x156mm. 16 pp. b/w illus. + 3 maps Sarah Foot is Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Christ ISBN 978-0-300-12535-1 £30.00* Church, Oxford, and a foremost scholar of tenth-century history.

Four Honest Outlaws DVD included Sala, Ray, Marioni, Gordon Michael Fried In this strongly argued and characteristically original book, Michael Fried considers the work of four contemporary artists— video artist and photographer Anri Sala, sculptor Charles Ray, painter Joseph Marioni, and video artist and intervener in movies Douglas Gordon. He shows how their respective projects are best understood as engaging in a variety of ways with some of the core themes and issues associated with high modernism, and indeed with its prehistory in French painting and art criticism from Diderot on. Four Honest Outlaws thus continues the author’s exploration of the critical and philosophical territory opened up by his earlier book, the magisterial Why Photography Matters as Art as Never Before. It presents a vision of the most important contemporary art not only as not repudiating modernism in the name of postmodernism in any of the latter’s many forms and manifestations, but also actually as committed Michael Fried is J.

30 Art The Sacred Image in the Age of Art Titian, Tintoretto, Barocci, El Greco, Caravaggio Marcia B. Hall Underlying the religious art of the Renaissance is a tension between the needs of the Church and the impulse to create great works. This beautifully illustrated book presents sacred images from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, leading up to two pivotal events in 1563. The Council of Trent, which signified the beginning of the Counter- Reformation, defined requirements that curtailed the freedom of painters and patrons in creating art for churches, while the founding of the Accademia del Disegno in Florence symbolically acknowledged that artists had achieved the status of creators not craftsmen. Marcia B. Hall takes a fresh look at some of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance not typically associated with sacred imagery and shows how they navigated their way through the paradox of ‘limited freedom’ to forge a new kind of religious art.

Vauxhall Gardens A History David E. Coke and Alan Borg From their early beginnings in the Restoration until the final closure in Queen Victoria’s reign, Vauxhall Gardens developed from a rural tavern and place of assignation into a dream-world filled with visual arts and music, and finally into a commercial site of mass entertainment. A social magnet for Londoners and tourists, they also became a dynamic centre for the arts in Britain. By the eighteenth century, when the Gardens were owned and managed by Jonathan Tyers—friend of Handel, Hogarth and Fielding—they were crucial to the cultural and fashionable life of the country, patronised by all levels of society, from royal dukes to penurious servants. In the first book on the subject for over fifty years, Alan Borg and David E. Coke reveal the teeming life, the spectacular art and the ever-present music of Vauxhall in fascinating detail. Borg and Coke’s historical exposition of the entire history of the foremost pleasure garden of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century London makes a major contribution to the study of London entertainments, art, music, sculpture, class and ideology, and puts into a very particular context an unusual combination of subjects. It reveals how Vauxhall linked high and popular culture in ways that look forward to the manner in which both art and entertainment have evolved in modern times. David E. Coke was formerly the Curator of Gainsborough’s House Trust, Sudbury, Suffolk, and Director of Pallant House Gallery Trust, Chichester.

A vivid, compelling account of how Caravaggio became one of the greatest artistic influences on Baroque painters throughout Europe Caravaggio, The Cardsharps, c.1594, Kimbell Art Museum, Fortworth.

Caravaggio and His Circle in Rome A Barbaric and Brutal Manner David Franklin and Sebastian Schütze The Italian artist Caravaggio (1571–1610) had a profound impact on a wide range of baroque painters of Italian, French, Dutch, Flemish and Spanish origin who resided in Rome either during his lifetime or immediately afterward. This captivating book illustrates the notion of ‘Caravaggism’, showcasing 65 works by Peter Paul Rubens and other important artists of the period who drew inspiration from Caravaggio; these pieces are the focus of a North American exhibition. Also depicted are Caravaggio canvases that fully exhibit his distinctive style, along with ones that had a particularly discernible impact on other practitioners. Caravaggio’s influence was greatest in Rome, where his works were seen by the largest and most international group of artists, and was at its peak in the early decades of the seventeenth century both before and Exhibition after his untimely death at the age of 39. Not since Michelangelo or National Gallery of Canada, Raphael had one European artist affected so many of his 10/06/11–11/09/11 contemporaries and over such broad geographic territory. Essays by an Kimbell Art Museum, array of major Caravaggio scholars illuminate the underlying principles 09/10/11–08/01/12 of the exhibition, reveal how Caravaggio altered the presentation and interpretation of many traditional subjects and inspired unusual new ones, and explore the artist’ s legacy and how he irrevocably changed the course of painting.

32 Architecture The Bauhaus Group Six Masters of Modernism Nicholas Fox Weber Nicholas Fox Weber, for thirty-four years head of the Albers Foundation, spent many years with Anni and Josef Albers, the only husband-and-wife artistic pair at the Bauhaus (she was a textile artist; he was a professor and an artist, in glass, metal, wood and photography). The Alberses told him their own stories and described life at the Bauhaus with their fellow artists and teachers, Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as these figures’ lesser-known wives and girlfriends. In this extraordinary group biography, Weber brilliantly brings to life the pioneering art school in Germany’s Weimar and Dessau in the 1920s and early 1930s, and captures the spirit and flair with which these Bauhaus geniuses lived, as well as their consuming goal of making art and architecture.

Architecture in Uniform Designing and Building for the Second World War Jean-Louis Cohen The Second World War is considered by most architectural histories as a hiatus between peaceful periods of production. This book assumes that the episodes that took place between the bombings of Guernica in 1937 and of Hiroshima in 1945 have been fundamental for the process of modernisation, and have led to the definitive supremacy of modernism. Profusely illustrated, the book questions the many aspects of architecture’s mobilisation, as well as the concrete trajectories of individual architects. Reflecting the worldwide character of the conflict, the analysis deals with the major powers engaged in the hostilities, from the United States to Japan, including Great Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and the Soviet Union. Organised according to a thematic pattern, in which a comparative interpretation of the historical developments is deployed, the narrative focuses not only on plans, buildings and technological inventions, but also on the many types of visual representations used for war purposes. Exhibition Based on more than a decade of research, the book will reproduce the Canadian Centre for Architecture, major works of the exhibition—drawings, photographs, maps, charts Montreal, 12/04/11–05/09/11 and posters. Its articulation will follow the ten themes of the show, inserted in a broader interpretive narrative: war to the cities; producing production; architecture for the front—and the rear; the invention of megaprojects and the passage of war to peace. Since 1993 Jean-Louis Cohen has held the Sheldon H. Solow Chair for the History of Architecture at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts.

David Smith Invents Susan Behrends Frank With essays by Sarah Hamill and Peter Stevens Abstract Expressionist artist David Smith was one of the most important American sculptors of the twentieth century, yet few publications dedicated to his output currently exist. David Smith Invents is the first book to focus on the artist’s later works, including paintings, drawings, photographs and sculpture, produced during the 1950s. Among the most famous examples of Smith’s endeavours from this period are his steel sculptures of monumental scale—like his series Tank Totems, open, personage-like forms welded from steel tanks and pipes. Susan Behrends Frank opens a window onto the working process employed by Smith, who was once a welder on an automobile production line. In spite of his industrial methods and materials, his works blurred the boundaries between sculpture, painting and drawing, and his sculptures during this period were created in a pictorial fashion, Exhibition in a single plane. One of his practices was to draw a white rectangle on The Phillips Collection, the floor and position the metal parts of his sculpture within its 12/02/11–05/05/11 boundaries. Featured throughout the book are extraordinary photographs taken by Smith of his sculptures, along with an essay on the photos by Sarah Hamill. Peter Stevens discusses Smith’s materials and surfaces.

36 Architecture The Synagogues of Britain and Ireland An Architectural and Social History Sharman Kadish The religious buildings of the Jewish community in Britain have never been explored in print. Lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished images and photographs taken specially by English Heritage, this book traces the architecture of the synagogue in Britain and Ireland from its discreet Georgian- and Regency-era beginnings to the golden age of the grand ‘cathedral synagogues’ of the High Victorian period. Sharman Kadish sheds light on obscure and sometimes underappreciated architects who designed synagogues for all types of worshipers— from Orthodox and Reform congregations to Yiddish-speaking immigrants in the 1900s. She examines the relationship between architectural style and minority identity in British society and looks at design issues in the contemporary synagogue. Sharman Kadish is the director of Jewish Heritage UK and a research fellow and lecturer at the Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Manchester.

The Architecture of the Scottish Medieval Church, 1100–1560 Richard Fawcett The first in-depth survey of Scotland’s medieval church architecture covers buildings constructed between the early twelfth century and the Reformation in 1560. From majestic cathedrals and abbeys to modest parish churches and chapels, Richard Fawcett places the architecture in context by considering the varied sources of ideas that underlay church designs. Over the centuries, Scottish patrons and their masons moved away from a close relationship with England to create a unique late medieval architectural synthesis that took ideas from a wide range of sources. The book concludes with an account of the impact of the Reformation on church construction and design. Richard Fawcett is a professor in the School of Art History at the University of St Andrews, and a Principal Inspector with Historic Scotland. He is a noted authority on medieval Scottish architecture and the author of Scottish Architecture from the accession of the Stewarts to the Reformation and other works.

Art/Architecture 37 Imperial Landscapes Britain’s Global Visual Culture, 1745–1820 John E. Crowley In response to conquests in mid-eighteenth-century wars, Britons developed a keen interest in how their colonies actually looked. Artistic representations of these faraway places, claiming topographic accuracy from being ‘drawn on the spot’, became increasingly frequent as the British Empire extended its reach during and after the Seven Years War. This is the first book to examine the country’s early imperial landscape art from a broad comparative perspective. Chapters on the West Indies, Canada, the United States, the Pacific, Australia and India show how British artists linked colonial territories with their homeland. This is both a ravishingly beautiful art book and an historical analysis of how British visual culture entwined with the politics of colonisation. John E.

Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus Edited by Lloyd DeWitt • Preface by Seymour Slive and contributions by Lloyd DeWitt, Blaise Ducos, Franziska Gottwald, George S. Keyes, Shelley Perlove, Larry Silver, Ken Sutherland and Mark Tucker With the creation of the dramatic Supper at Emmaus and a series of intimate oil sketches of Christ on oak panels, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) overturned the entire history of Christian art. Traditionally, when depicting Christ, artists had relied on rigidly copied prototypes of religious icons. Among Rembrandt’s innovations was his use of a Jewish model to portray a Christ imbued with empathy, gentleness and grace.

Jean Fouquet and the Invention of France Art and Nation after the Hundred Years War Erik Inglis Jean Fouquet was France’s most important fifteenth-century artist, painting for the courts of Charles VII and Louis XI. His art synthesised the realistic style of Flemish artists like van Eyck with the monumentality of Florentines like Masaccio. Fouquet’s work had a powerful appeal, shaping the next two generations of painters and introducing a taste for Italian art to the French. The first survey of Fouquet’s work in English in nearly sixty years, this captivating book offers a major advance in scholarship about the artist and his far-reaching impact. Erik Inglis links Fouquet’s style, iconography and audience to explain how his art helped define French identity, a project of great importance for anxious courtiers in the wake of the Hundred Years War. Jean Fouquet and the Invention of France provides a new lens for looking at the century that saw the greatest changes in French art prior to Impressionism. Erik Inglis is Associate Professor of Art at Oberlin College in Ohio.

George Inness in Italy Mark D. Mitchell With an essay by Judy Dion A canonical figure in American painting, George Inness (1825–1894) is widely admired as the pioneer of the landscape aesthetic known as Tonalism, which is distinguished by soft focus and diaphanous layers of paint. This is the first book about the artist’s two Italian sojourns (1851–52 and 1870–74) and their formative impact on his work. Italy—its art and its landscape—offered Inness a font of inspiration as he developed his unique artistic vision. This handsome book presents ten oil paintings surveying Inness’s Italian subjects dating from 1850 to 1879, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s recently restored Twilight on the Campagna, which has not been on view since 1952. This was the first of Inness’s works completed in Italy, and its reemergence offers a unique opportunity to reconsider the career of a leading American artist.

Pomp and Poverty A History of Silk in Ireland Mairead Dunlevy Silk—lustrous, warm, lightweight, strong—has always been a symbol of wealth and status, beginning in prehistoric China. In Pomp and Poverty: A History of Silk in Ireland, Mairead Dunlevy unfolds a colourful tale. She introduces us to the merchants or ‘silk men’ who traded in silk, oversaw its production and invested in machinery and design; the weavers and dyers who created luxury under exploitative conditions for miserable wages; the gentlefolk and aristocracy who indulged in this expensive fabric as a signifier of wealth and taste. Irish legend credits seventeenth-century French Huguenots with introducing the industry, but this book reveals that silk was woven in Ireland long before that, possibly from the tenth century. Dunlevy also details the development of poplin, a uniquely Irish silk product found in every royal court of nineteenth-century Europe. The late Mairead Dunlevy was Keeper of Art and Industry at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin, and Director of the Hunt Museum, Limerick. She was the author of Dress in Ireland, and an authority on social customs in Ireland and on Irish glass and silver.

Wonder, Image, and Cosmos in Medieval Islam Persis Berlekamp This original book untangles fundamental confusions about historical relationships among Islam, representational images and philosophy. Closely examining some of the most meaningful and best preserved premodern illustrated manuscripts of Islamic cosmographies, Persis Berlekamp refutes the assertion often made by other historians of medieval Islamic art that, while representational images did exist, they did not serve religious purposes. The author focuses on widely disseminated Islamic images of the wonders of creation, ranging from angels to human-snatching birds, and argues that these illustrated manuscripts aimed to induce wonder at God’s creation, as was their stated purpose. She tracks the various ways that images advanced that purpose in the genre’s formative milieu—the century and a half following the Mongol conquest of the Islamic East in 1258. Delving into social history and into philosophical ideas relevant to manuscript and image production, Berlekamp shows that philosophy occupied an established, if controversial, position within Islam. She thereby radically reframes representational images within the April history of Islam. 224 pp. 280x220mm. 55 b/w + 40 colour illus.

Art 43 Art for the Nation The Eastlakes and the Victorian Art World Susanna Avery-Quash and Julie Sheldon Sir Charles and Lady Elizabeth Eastlake, with their nephew Charles Locke Eastlake, were significant figures in the cultural and artistic life of Victorian Britain. Charles Eastlake established himself as an artist and connoisseur with an exceptional interest in developing ideas about art in continental Europe, before becoming the first Director of the fledgling National Gallery London in 1855. Lady Eastlake, while ably supporting her husband’s career, was also a literary critic, journalist and art historian. Together the Eastlakes travelled around Europe, allowing Sir Charles to acquire significant paintings for the National Gallery. As a couple, they were exceptionally well connected in Victorian society, counting significant nineteenth-century figures as friends, peers and supporters, including Prince Albert, J. M. W. Turner and Sir Robert Peel. Their nephew Charles Locke Eastlake became known as a populariser of the Arts and Crafts style with his Hints on Household Taste in Furniture, Upholstery and other Details published in 1872. As Keeper of Exhibition the National Gallery London from 1878, Locke Eastlake sought to Accompanies a National Gallery exhibition, implement and develop the ideas of his uncle, allowing the ‘Eastlake 27/7/11–30/10/11 era’ to span 70 pivotal years of the National Gallery’s early history.

44 Art Hogarth’s Marriage A-la-Mode DVD narrated by Alan Bennett Book plus free DVD Judy Egerton • DVD narrated by Alan Bennett This book explores one of Hogarth’s best known series of paintings that took the upper echelons of society as its subject. This is a re-issue with a fresh design featuring Judy Egerton’s engaging text and includes a free DVD narrated by Alan Bennett. This book and DVD set examines the story of Marriage A-la-Mode, a six part series describing a marriage arranged between the son of a spendthrift nobleman who needs cash and the daughter of a rich City of London merchant who wants to buy social status. Love between the bride and bridegroom never develops; and their discordant lives progress through adultery and venereal disease to murder, execution and suicide. The author, Judy Egerton, explains the multiple visual clues and symbols employed by Hogarth to create this intriguing narrative on the questionable morals of the upper classes of the eighteenth century. Judy Egerton is a leading authority on British painting and has previously worked at the National Gallery and Tate Britain. She held the position of Senior Research Fellow at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art from 1998–2006.

Venice DVD Canaletto and his Rivals Written and presented by Leah Kharibian Canaletto’s views of eighteenth-century Venice are famous the world over. But as this engaging film reveals, he was not without talented rivals. The market for view painting was highly competitive and painters vied to impress patrons with a wealth of detail and sometimes startling perspectives. This film explores the unexpected variety of this art form, and through a close look at the pleasures and spectacles enjoyed by visitors on the Grand Tour, it also discovers how the expectations and aspirations of foreign patrons shaped the pictures by which we still define Venice today. Published alongside the exhibition Venice: Canaletto and his Rivals at the National Gallery, London, 13/10/10–16/1/11, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, 20/2/11–30/5/11 Leah Kharibian is an independent art historian, scriptwriter and author.

Van Eyck to Gossaert DVD Towards a Northern Renaissance Written and presented by Leah Kharibian Netherlandish painting of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries still has the power to astonish. Its seemingly impossible level of detail, fascination with the surface appearance of things, subtle depiction of light and an uncompromising attitude to rendering the idiosyncrasies of the human face, all contribute to an art of intense beauty and sophistication. In their day, Netherlandish artists were internationally renowned; their mastery of the medium of oil paint was emulated across Europe while their interest in landscape and depiction of everyday subjects gave rise to new genres of painting. This film explores the richness of Netherlandish paintings of this period, their international impact—particularly in Renaissance Italy—and discovers how a small corner of northern Europe gave rise to one of the most fertile eras of cultural production in the history of western art. • exclusive location footage exploring the historic cities in which the art was made • interviews with leading experts in the field • insight into the artists’ working methods revealed by the Gallery’s Conservation and Scientific Departments

Art 45 Devotion by Design Italian Altarpieces before 1500 Scott Nethersole This beautifully illustrated book introduces some of the oldest paintings in the National Gallery: painted wooden altarpieces from Italy, made between about 1250 and 1500, some still in their original carved and gilded frames. Although the Gallery displays them hung on the walls, arranged by date, place of origin and style, we are reminded here that they were never intended to be seen as ‘gallery pictures’ but were originally part of complex decorative schemes, intimately connected with and integrated into the church architecture of medieval and Renaissance Italy, and objects of devout worship. Drawing on the wealth of research undertaken over the last thirty years, Scott Nethersole explains why and how different types of altarpieces were made, their original purpose, position and function, the role of the artists who made them, and the beliefs of those who commissioned them. The styles and regional variations of works attributed to different artists in different periods are distinctly recognisable, even though their names—or even their identities—are unknown to us today. Devotion by Design: Italian Altarpieces before 1500 is a free Sainsbury Wing exhibition opening 6/7/11 Dr. Scott Nethersole was the Harry M. Weinrebe Curatorial Assistant at the National Gallery, London until August 2010 and is currently Lecturer in Italian Renaissance Art at The Courtauld Institute of Art, London.

Forests, Rocks and Torrents Norwegian and Swiss Landscape Paintings Christopher Riopelle • With Sarah Herring Forests, Rocks and Torrents confronts nineteenth century Norwegian and Swiss landscape painting; it looks at the evident similarities of the two traditions but also at the differences that climate, character, national temperament and political regimes impose on art movements. Norway, for example, was engaged in a long struggle for freedom from Sweden; Switzerland had been proudly independent for centuries. Norway was poor, isolated and dependent for survival on its natural resources; Switzerland was prosperous, cosmopolitan and an early centre of industry. This book examines how these realities were manifested in their respective painting traditions. Alongside the exhibition, it also introduces skilled and innovative practitioners of landscape to new audiences, and is supported by a chronology and artist biographies. Published to accompany a National Gallery Sunley Room exhibition 22/6/11–18/9/11 Christopher Riopelle is Curator of Post-1800 Paintings, Sarah Herring is Isaiah Berlin Assistant Curator of Post-1800 Paintings.

An American Experiment George Bellows and the Ashcan Painters

David Peters Corbett • With Katherine Bourguignon and Christopher Riopelle • London National Gallery The In the first decades of the twentieth century the Ashcan School of painters made images of city life from street level as an intimately human place, as well as producing vivid landscapes with a highly saturated colour palette. The Ashcanners—John Sloan, George Bellows, George Luks, William Glackens—were primarily urban realists who took up the older artist Robert Henri’s influential insistence that artists should make ‘pictures from life’ and renounce the polished academic style then taught in the art schools for a more urgent manner that sought to catch the ebb and flow of life in urban America. Published alongside the exhibition An American Experiment: George Bellows and the Ashcan Painters, at the National Gallery, London, 3/3/11–30/5/11 David Peters Corbett is Dean, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of East Anglia.

46 Art Vija Celmins Television and Disaster, 1964–1966 Franklin Sirmans and Michelle White American artist Vija Celmins is widely admired and respected for her sublime images of night skies and ocean waves. Vija Celmins: Television and Disaster, 1964–1966 looks closely at Celmins’s early work, which is deeply engaged with the Pop Art scene of 1960s Los Angeles. The authors argue for a better understanding of this body of work, which is not well known by contemporary audiences, both within Celmins’s overall career, and as part of the historical context in which she was working. The book illustrates Celmins’s work from the mid-1960s. These paintings and sculptures of war planes, smoking guns, and other representations of death and disaster were informed by images found in books and magazines. Also reflecting the moment when print began to give way to television, as well as the impact of the first televised war, they are creative interpretations of a world destabilised by the turmoil of war and domestic political conflicts.

Weinberg With essays by Hilton Als, Okwui Enwezor, Saidiya Hartman, Bennett Simpson, Franklin Sirmans and a conversation between Ligon and Thelma Golden American artist Glenn Ligon (b. 1960) is best known for his landmark body of text-based paintings, made since the late 1980s, which appropriate the writings of African-American authors such as James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison and Zora Neale Hurston. In subsequent bodies of work, Ligon has dealt with a wide range of material, including images and slogans related to early civil rights demonstrations and the Million Man March, as well as runaway slave notices, Richard Pryor jokes and 1970s colouring books targeted at African-American children. Glenn Ligon: AMERICA, created in close collaboration with the artist, is the first in-depth presentation of his art, including paintings, photography, sculptural installations, prints and drawings.

Art 47 Dieter Roth, Björn Roth Work Tables and Tischmatten Edited by Barry Rosen With an Introduction by Björn Roth, an essay by Andrea Büttner and an afterword by Paul McCarthy Dieter Roth’s unique and eclectic Tischmatten (‘Table Mats’) incorporate drawings, paintings, photographs and ephemeral materials. Roth placed these grey cardboard mats on tables in his apartment, studios and houses, collecting what he referred to as the ‘traces of my domestic activities’. Along with spontaneous doodles and drips and stains from the kitchen, Roth affixed leftover food, notes and photos to the mats, creating still lifes that he would supplement with painting and collage and that had an emphasis on symmetry and mirror images. Dieter Roth, Björn Roth offers a new interpretation of these often misunderstood works, which Roth himself considered to have influenced the development of his painting in the late 1980s. The book includes the artist’s writings about the Tischmatten, and an insightful essay by Andrea Büttner resituates them within the greater body of the artist’s output.

48 Photography My Faraway One Selected Letters of Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz: Volume One, 1915–1933 Selected, annotated and edited by Sarah Greenough Between 1915, when they first began to write to each other, and 1946, when Stieglitz died, Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz exchanged over 5,000 letters that describe their daily lives. This volume features 650 letters, selected and annotated by photography scholar Sarah Greenough. In O’Keeffe’s sparse and vibrant style and Stieglitz’s fervent and lyrical manner, the letters describe how they met and fell in love in the 1910s; how they carved out a life together in the 1920s; how their relationship nearly collapsed during the early years of the Depression; and how it was reconstructed in the late 1930s and early 1940s. At the same time, the correspondence reveals the creative evolution of their art and ideas; their friendships with influential figures in early American modernism (Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin and Paul Strand); and their relationships with a wide range of figures in American and European art and culture (including Duncan Phillips, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marcel Duchamp). Furthermore, their prose reveals insights into the impact of larger forces—World War I and II; the booming economy of the 1920s; and the Depression of the 1930s—on two creative individuals.

Art and the Early Photographic Album Edited by Stephen Bann One of the most prized categories of early photography was the reproduction of artworks, a role in which photographs largely replaced engravings in book imagery during the mid-nineteenth century. Photographs of paintings and other works were compiled in albums, from surveys of museum collections and catalogues of works by single artists to illustrated travel guides. While such albums have often been valued for documentary purposes, their role in the institutional development of art has been overlooked. This collection of twelve essays explores topics such as how the acclaim of artists grew because their paintings reproduced well in photographs, how Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes were given a new public identity by the photographer’s choice of details and other ways in which photographically illustrated publications influenced the history of art.

Roberto Capucci Art into Fashion Dilys E. Blum Italian couturier Roberto Capucci (b. 1930) is revered by contemporary fashion designers for his innovative silhouettes and masterful use of colour and materials. Capucci refers to his creations as ‘studies in form’ and draws inspiration from a multitude of sources, including art, architecture and nature. This beautifully illustrated book, the companion to the first exhibition of Capucci’s work in the United States, examines his career from the 1950s to the present in the context of the rise of Italian fashion. Capucci’s designs first captured the attention of the international press in 1951, when he presented his collection in Florence. Considered one of Italy’s greatest talents, he experimented with construction techniques and unconventional materials such as raffia, wire and stones. He refused Exhibition to compromise his artistic vision to commercial concerns, and after Philadelphia Museum of Art, withdrawing from the formal fashion world in the early 1980s, he 16/03/11–05/06/11 presented one collection a year, each in a different city around the world. Featuring more than 80 extraordinary works, including the iconic ‘sculpture dresses’ with their inventive use of pleating, colour and form, Roberto Capucci is a captivating look at this brilliant designer who transcends the conventional line between fashion and art.

50 Art Turkmen Silver Jewelry and Ornaments from the Marshall and Marilyn Wolf Collection Layla S. Diba The Turkmen people of Central Asia and Iran are revered for their carpets and textiles. Less well known, but equally stunning, is the extraordinary silver jewellery created by Turkmen tribal craftsmen and urban silversmiths throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This catalogue presents nearly two hundred pieces in glorious detail, ranging from crowns and headdresses to armbands and rings, and featuring accents of carnelian, turquoise and other stones. Characterised by elegant form, geometric shapes and delicate openwork, Turkmen jewellery has typically been viewed through an ethnographic rather than an aesthetic lens. By highlighting these objects—which come from one of the most significant private collections of Turkmen ornaments in the world—and placing them in the larger context of Islamic art, this groundbreaking publication elevates the vibrant, monumental pieces from folk art to fine art. Layla S. Diba is an Islamic art expert, who was director of the Negarestan Museum, Tehran, and a curator at the Brooklyn Museum.

Guitar Heroes Legendary Craftsmen from Italy to New York Jayson Kerr Dobney In the Italian-American communities in the New York area a remarkable tradition of stringed instrument making has existed since the nineteenth century, with local craftsmen building traditional violins, mandolins and guitars as well as American instruments such as banjos and archtop mandolins and guitars. Since the 1930s New York City has been a centre for archtop guitar manufacturing, and the guitars of three makers—John D’Angelico (1905–1964), James D’Aquisto (1935–1995) and John Monteleone (b. 1947)—stand out for their quality of sound and design. The work of these three legendary artisans is firmly rooted in the long history of Italian, particularly Neapolitan, stringed instrument making. By examining their archtop guitars against the backdrop of the extensive collection of Italian and Italian-American stringed instruments in the Metropolitan Museum, Guitar Heroes traces the transformation of a centuries-old craft to meet the ever-changing demands of musicians and markets.

Korean Buncheong Ceramics from the Leeum Collection Soyoung Lee and Seung-chang Jeon Bold, sophisticated, engaging and startlingly modern, Buncheong ceramics emerged as a distinct Korean art form in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, only to be eclipsed on its native ground for more than 400 years by the overwhelming demand for porcelain. Elements from the Buncheong idiom were later revived in Japan, where its spare yet sensual aesthetic was much admired and where descendants of Korean potters lived and worked. This innovative study features 60 masterpieces from the renowned Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul, as well as objects from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and presents current scholarship on Buncheong’s history, manufacture, use and overall significance.

Art 51 Rooms with a View The Open Window in the 19th Century Sabine Rewald During the first half of the nineteenth century, the open window emerged as a consistent motif in German, Danish, French and Russian painting and drawing. Rooms with a View is the first book to explore this intriguing theme in European art, with its Romantic intimations of unfulfilled longing and its associated qualities of poetry, luminosity and interiority. Artists depicted this intangible mood with images of contemplative figures in hushed, sparsely furnished rooms; painters diligently at work in their studios; simple, serene displays of light entering a chamber; and windows as the focal point of views in their own right. Rooms with a View features forty oils and thirty works on paper by both well-known and largely undiscovered artists, including Caspar David Exhibition Friedrich, Carl Gustav Carus, Georg Friedrich Kersting, Adolph The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Menzel, Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, Martinus Rørbye, Jean Alaux, 23/03/11–04/07/11 Léon Cogniet and Fyodor Petrovich Tolstoy.

Pastel Portraits Images of 18th-Century Europe Katharine Baetjer and Marjorie Shelley Brightly hued, highly finished and relatively large in scale, pastels in the eighteenth century were regarded as a type of painting and displayed like oils. The powdery, vibrant crayons are particularly suited to capturing the skin tones and evanescent expressions that characterise the most life-like portraits. Pastels cannot be permanently displayed because they are susceptible to The Metropolitan Museum of Art • New York Metropolitan of Art The Museum fading, and they rarely travel. Until now, there has never been an exhibition in the U.S. devoted to these intriguing and important works. Pastel Portraits, the companion book to an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, presents over 40 exquisite works by French, Italian, English, Swiss and American artists. It offers a technical Exhibition discussion of the materials and explains why pastels achieved The Metropolitan Museum of Art, widespread popularity in the 1700s and how the fabrication of this 17/05/11–14/08/11 medium intersected with Enlightenment thinking.

52 Art Richard Serra Drawing A Retrospective Edited by Gary Garrels, Bernice Rose and Michelle White With contributions by Lizzie Borden, Magdalena Dabrowski, Gary Garrels, Bernice Rose, Richard Serra, Richard Shiff and Michelle White As the focal point of numerous high-profile exhibitions, the sculpture of Richard Serra (b. 1939) has drawn international acclaim. Yet even those who have marvelled at Serra’s works of sculpture may not be familiar with his equally intriguing drawings. This book brings together for the first time Serra’s drawn work, considering the artist’s investigation of medium as an activity both independent from and linked to his sculptural practice. First working in ink, charcoal and lithographic crayon on paper, Serra originally used drawing as a means to explore form and perceptual relations between his sculpture and the viewer. Over time, his drawings underwent significant shifts in concept, materials and scale. The bold Exhibition forms he created with black paintstick in his monumental Installation The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Drawings were designed to disrupt and complement existent spaces 11/04/11–28/08/11 and eventually began to occupy entire rooms.

Kandinsky and the Harmony of Silence Painting with White Border Edited by Elsa Smithgall • With contributions by Tracey Bashkoff, Gillian McMillan and Elizabeth Steele Russian artist and theoretician Vasily Kandinsky was a significant figure in twentieth-century abstraction.

Art 53 Rebecca Salter Into the Light of Things Edited by Gillian Forrester With essays by Achim Borchardt-Hume, Richard Cork and Sadako Ohki Rebecca Salter (b. 1955) is a British abstract artist who lives and works in London. After studying ceramics at Bristol Polytechnic, she won a scholarship to the Kyoto City University of the Arts and remained in Kyoto for six years. Despite a successful career as a ceramicist, Salter abandoned the medium, and began to make drawings and woodblock prints, creating a distinctive body of work which combined Western and Eastern art-making practices and sensibilities. After her return to England Salter took up painting on canvas using acrylics. She still views her practice as about ‘making an object’ rather than a surface, and her multilayered two-dimensional works complicate the boundaries between painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture. Although Salter’s practice is studio- based, her work draws deeply on her experience of regularly drawing outdoors, and she arguably can be categorised as a landscape artist. Exhibition Accompanying a major exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art, Yale Center for British Art, this book will map Salter’s career, situating her work in relation to 03/02/2011–01/05/2011 international abstraction, as well as the impact of Japanese art, architecture and aesthetics on her practice. An essay by Richard Cork considers Salter’s 2008 redesign of the main entrance area of St George’s Hospital, London.

Music 61 Richard Strauss A Musical Life Raymond Holden Renowned today as the gifted composer of a string of masterworks, Richard Strauss (1864–1949) is less often remembered for his achievement as a major conductor. Yet he held important conducting posts in Munich, Berlin and Vienna and influenced generations of younger conductors. This important book is the first to consider Strauss’s career as a conductor and place it in relation to his life as a composer. With unique access to extensive materials in the Strauss family’s private archives, Raymond Holden corrects misconceptions about Strauss and discusses the musician’s understanding of composing and conducting as intertwined processes. Holden throws new light on Strauss’s relationships, on his disputed role during the Third Reich, and particularly on his performance practices and principles. Raymond Holden is Associate Head of Research, Royal Academy of Music, London, and a leading authority on Richard Strauss. He is author of The Virtuoso Conductors: The Central European Tradition from Wagner to Karajan, published by Yale.

Stravinsky’s Ballets Charles M. Joseph Igor Stravinsky was a towering composer of the twentieth century and closely linked to dance. His early commissions for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes—The Firebird, Petrouchka and The Rite of Spring —put him on the international map and propelled both ballet and music into the modern age. Even so, these brilliant pieces were but a prelude to Stravinsky’s lifelong exploration of dance and dance idioms, as Charles M. Joseph convincingly demonstrates in this brilliant survey of all of the composer’s ballet music. Joseph provides superb analyses of each of Stravinsky’s ballet pieces, examining the composer’s own drafts, notes and sketches to discover how he conceived of and developed each work. The book also explores how Stravinsky’s unorthodox new music energised colleagues, among them George Balanchine, and attracted a glittering array of artists including Tamara Karsavina, Vaslav Nijinski, Picasso and Jean Cocteau. Joseph creates an intense, intimate portrait of Stravinsky and offers a fresh perspective on the musical revolutionary who changed the definition of music made for dance. Charles M. Joseph is Professor Emeritus of Music and the former dean and vice president of academic affairs, Skidmore College. He is the author of two previous books published by Yale, Stravinsky and Balanchine and Stravinsky Inside Out. Yale Music Masterworks series June 320 pp. 234x156mm. 11 b/w illus.

Music for Silenced Voices Shostakovich and His Fifteen Quartets Wendy Lesser Most previous books about Dmitri Shostakovich have focused on either his symphonies and operas, or his relationship to the regime under which he lived, or both, since these large-scale works were the ones that attracted the interest and sometimes the condemnation of the Soviet authorities. Music for Silenced Voices looks at Shostakovich through the back door, as it were, of his fifteen quartets, the works which his widow characterised as a ‘diary, the story of his soul’. The silences and the voices were of many kinds, including the political silencing of adventurous writers, artists and musicians during the Stalin era; the lost voices of Shostakovich’s operas (a form he abandoned just before turning to string quartets); and the death-silenced voices of his close friends, to whom he dedicated many of these chamber works. Wendy Lesser has constructed a fascinating narrative in which the fifteen quartets, considered one at a time in chronological order, lead the reader through the personal, political and professional events that shaped Shostakovich’s singular, emblematic twentieth-century life. Weaving together interviews with the composer’s friends, family and colleagues, as well as conversations with present-day musicians who have played the quartets, Lesser sheds new light on the man and the musician. One of the very few books about Shostakovich that is aimed at a general rather than an academic audience, Music for Silenced Voices is a pleasure to read; at the same time, it is rigorously faithful to the known facts in this notoriously complicated life. Wendy Lesser, the editor of The Threepenny Review, is the author of seven previous nonfiction books and one novel.

62 Performing Arts/Literary Studies Modernist America Art, Music, Movies, and the Globalization of American Culture Richard Pells America’s global cultural impact is largely seen as one-sided, with critics claiming that it has undermined other countries’ languages and traditions. But contrary to popular belief, the cultural relationship between the United States and the world has been reciprocal, says Richard Pells. The United States not only plays a large role in shaping international entertainment and tastes, it is also a consumer of foreign intellectual and artistic influences. Pells reveals how the American artists, novelists, composers, jazz musicians and filmmakers who were part of the Modernist movement were greatly influenced by outside ideas and techniques. People across the globe found familiarities in American entertainment, resulting in a universal culture that has dominated the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and fulfilled the aim of the Modernist movement—to make the modern world seem more intelligible. Modernist America brilliantly explains why George Gershwin’s music, Cole Porter’s lyrics, Jackson Pollock’s paintings, Bob Fosse’s choreography, Marlon Brando’s acting and Orson Welles’s storytelling were so influential, and why these and other artists and entertainers simultaneously represent both an American and a modern global culture. Richard Pells is a Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin.

Modernism Michael Levenson In this wide-ranging and original account of Modernism, Michael Levenson draws on more than twenty years of research and a career-long fascination with the movement, its participants, and the period during which it thrived. Seeking a more subtle understanding of the relations between the period’s texts and contexts, he provides not only an excellent survey but also a significant reassessment of Modernism itself. Spanning many decades, illuminating individual achievements and locating them within the intersecting histories of experiment (Symbolism to Surrealism, Naturalism to Expressionism, Futurism to Dadaism), the book places the transformations of culture alongside the agitations of modernity (war, revolution, feminism, psychoanalysis). In this perspective, Modernism must be understood more broadly than simply in terms of its provocative works, experimental forms and singular careers. Rather, as Levenson demonstrates, Modernism should be viewed as the emergence of an adversary culture of the New that depended on audiences as well as artists, enemies as well as supporters. Michael Levenson is William B. Christian Professor of Modern Literature and Critical Theory, University of Virginia. His publications on Modernism span some twenty years and include Modernism and the Fate of Individuality: Character and Novelistic Form from Conrad to Woolf.

Alfred Kazin’s Journals Selected and edited by Richard M. Cook At the time of his death in 1998, Alfred Kazin was considered one of the most influential intellectuals of postwar America. What is less well known is that Kazin had been contributing almost daily to an extensive private journal, which arguably contains some of his best writing. These journals collectively tell the story of his journey from Brooklyn’s Brownsville neighbourhood to his position as a dominant figure in twentieth-century cultural life. To Kazin, the daily entry was a psychological and spiritual act. ‘I turn to this notebook as if it were my lie detector, my confession, my way of ascertaining authenticity—of making myself whole again’. To read through these entries is to re-experience history as a series of daily discoveries by an alert, adventurous, if often mercurial intelligence. It is also to encounter an array of interesting and notable personalities. Sketches of friends, mistresses, family figures and other intellectuals are woven in with commentary on Kazin’s childhood, early religious interests, problems with parents, bouts of loneliness, dealings with publishers and thoughts on the Holocaust. Richard M. Cook is chair of the English department at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and author of Alfred Kazin: A Biography, published in 2008 by Yale.

Literary Studies 63 The Wind from the Plain Trilogy Yashar Kemal In lyrical prose, Kemal’s epic of rural Turkey portrays a country and a people uneasily poised between tradition and modernity, East and West. Each novel follows his protagonists as they struggle to survive in this changing world without losing the traditions and values that define them. The daily struggles draw us into a vibrant culture that is rarely represented for Western readers, but nevertheless evokes universal themes. Long considered a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature, Kemal has created in his depiction of Cukurova what William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez envisioned in their dreamworlds of Yoknapatawpha County and Macondo. A student of oral tradition as well as of Cervantes, Stendhal and Chekhov, Kemal creates legends born of his own experience. Through Thilda Kemal’s skilled translation, the titles that comprise this triology—The Wind from the Plain; Iron Earth, Copper Sky and The Undying Grass—will now reach an English-language audience in one comprehensive edition for the first time. “Kemal remains Turkey’s greatest storyteller.”—The Times Yashar Kemal’s was born in Adana, Turkey in 1922, the son of Kurdish landowners who fled eastern Anatolia in 1915. Kemal’s writing is inspired by the folklore of Anatolia, and draws on its well-known tales and figures. His first novel, Memed, My Hawk, was published in 1955 and won the Varlik Prize for best novel of the year.

Radial Symmetry Katherine Larson • With a foreword by Louise Glück Katherine Larson is the winner of the 2010 Yale Series of Younger Poets Competition. With Radial Symmetry, she has created a transcendent body of poems that flourish in the liminal spaces that separate scientific inquiry from empathic knowledge, astute observation from sublime witness. Larson’s inventive lyrics lead the reader through vertiginous landscapes—geographical, phenomenological, psychological—while always remaining attendant to the speaker’s own fragile, creaturely self. An experienced research scientist and field ecologist, Larson dazzles with these sensuous and sophisticated poems, grappling with the powers of poetic imagination as well as the frightful realisation of the human capacity for ecological destruction. The result is a profoundly moving collection: eloquent in its lament and celebration. Katherine Larson is the recipient of a Ruth Lilly Poetry Fellowship and Union League Civic and Arts Foundation Poetry Prize. Yale Series of Younger Poets May 96 pp. 210x140mm.

The Words of Others From Quotations to Culture Gary Saul Morson In this lively gambol through the history of quotations and quotation books, Gary Saul Morson traces our enduring fascination with the words of others. Ranging from the remote past to the present, he explores the formation, development and significance of quotations, while exploring the ‘verbal museums’ in which they have been collected and displayed—commonplace books, treasuries and anthologies. In his trademark clear, witty and provocative style, Morson invites readers to share his delight in the shortest literary genres. The author defines what makes a quote quotable, as well as the (unexpected) differences between quotation and misquotation. He describes how quotations form, transform and may eventually become idioms. Using amusing examples of ‘famous last words’ and epitaphs, Morson also demonstrates how authorship and occasion can be an intrinsic part of a quotation. Weaving in hundreds of intriguing quotations, common and unusual, Morson explores how the words of others constitute essential elements in the formation of a culture and of the self within that culture. In so doing, he provides a living demonstration of that very process, captured in the pages of this extraordinary new book. Gary Saul Morson is Frances Hooper Professor of the Arts and Humanities, Professor of Slavic Languages, Northwestern University. He is an award-winning author of eight previous books.

Religion/Philosophy 65 The Spirit of Zoroastrianism Translated and edited by Prods Oktor Skjærvø Zoroastrianism is one of the world’s oldest religions, though it is not among the best understood. Originating with Iranian tribes living in Central Asia in the second millennium BCE, Zoroastrianism was the official religion of the Iranian empires until Islam superseded it in the seventh century AD. Centred on the worship of Ahura Mazda, the All-knowing Ruler, Zoroastrianism follows the practices and rituals set out by the prophet Zarathustra, according to the indigenous tradition. As one of the world’s great religions, Zoroastrianism has a heritage rich in texts and cultic practices. The texts are often markedly difficult to translate, but in this volume, Prods Oktor Skjærvø, professor of ancient Iranian languages and culture at Harvard, provides modern and accurate translations of Zoroastrian texts that have been selected to provide an overview of Zoroastrian beliefs and practices. In a comprehensive introduction to these sacred texts, Skjærvø outlines the history and essence of Zoroastrianism and discusses the major themes of this, the first fully representative selection of Zoroastrian texts to be made available in English for over a century. Prods Oktor Skjærvø has been Aga Khan Professor of Iranian, Harvard University, since 1991. He has taught Old Iranian languages, literature and religion since the early 1970s and is currently preparing April a book on Iranian creation myths. 256 pp. 210x140mm.

Science & Health 67 Milk A Local and Global History Deborah Valenze Covering the long span of human history, Milk reveals how developments in technology, public health and nutritional science made this once-rare elixir a modern-day staple. The book looks at the religious meanings of milk, along with its association with pastoral life, which made it an object of mystery and suspicion during medieval times and the Renaissance. As early modern societies refined agricultural techniques, cow’s milk became crucial to improving diets and economies, launching milk production and consumption into a more modern phase. Yet as business and science transformed the product in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, commercial milk became not only a common and widely available commodity but also a source of uncertainty when used in place of human breast milk for infant feeding. Ultimately, milk’s surprising history teaches us how to think about our relationship to food in the present, as well as in the past. It reveals that although milk is a product of nature, it has always been an artefact of culture. July Deborah Valenze is Professor of History at Barnard College.

68 Nature & Environment Dog Days, Raven Nights John M. Marzluff and Colleen Marzluff • With illustrations by Evon Zerbetz and a foreword by Bernd Heinrich Twenty years ago, fresh out of graduate school and recently married, John and Colleen Marzluff left Arizona for a small cabin in the mountains of western Maine. Their mission: to conduct the first-ever extensive study of the winter ecology of the Common Raven under the tutelage of biologist Bernd Heinrich. Drawing on field notes and personal diaries, they vividly and eloquently chronicle their three-year endeavor to research a mysterious and often misunderstood bird—assembling a gigantic aviary, climbing sentry trees, building bird blinds in the forest, capturing and sustaining 300 ravens as study subjects, and enduring harsh Maine winters in pursuit of their goal. They also shared the unique challenges and joys of raising, training and racing the sled dogs that assisted them in their work. Accompanied by Evon Zerbetz’s lovely linocut illustrations, Dog Days, Raven Nights is a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the adventures of field science and an insightful exploration of the nature of relationships, both animal and human.
