Gothic Dark Glamour Valerie Steele and Jennifer Park From its origins in the eighteenth-century literature of terror to its contemporary manifestations in vampire fiction, cinema and art, the gothic has embraced the powers of horror and the erotic macabre. ‘Gothic’ is an epithet with a strange history—evoking images of death, destruction and decay. Ironically, its negative connotations have made the gothic an ideal symbol of rebellion for a wide range of cultural outsiders. Popularly associated with black-clad teenagers and rock musicians, gothic fashion encompasses not only subcultural styles (from old-school goth to cyber-goth and beyond) but also high fashion by such designers Valerie Steele is director and chief as Alexander McQueen, John Galliano of Christian Dior, Rick Owens, curator of The Museum at the Olivier Theyskens and Yohji Yamamoto.

How the astronauts’ first pictures of our planet—small, beautiful and unique in space—transformed our ideas about the Earth

Earthrise How Man First Saw the Earth Robert Poole Earthrise tells the remarkable story of the first photographs of Earth from space and the totally unexpected impact of those images. The Apollo ‘Earthrise’ and ‘Blue Marble’ photographs were beamed across the world some forty years ago. They had an astounding effect, Robert Poole explains, and in fact transformed thinking about the Earth and its environment in a way that echoed throughout religion, culture and science. Gazing upon our whole planet for the first time, we saw ourselves and our place in the universe with new clarity. Poole delves into new areas of research and looks at familiar history from fresh perspectives. With intriguing anecdotes and wonderful pictures, he examines afresh the politics of the Apollo missions, the challenges of whole Earth photography and the story of the behind-the- scenes struggles to get photographs of the Earth put into mission plans. He traces the history of imagined visions of Earth from space and explores what happened when imagination met reality.

A vivid and poignant account of the struggle of French writers and artists to endure and combat the German occupation that threatened their cultural heritage The facade of the Paris Opera covered with banners. Roger Viollet/Paris.

The Shameful Peace How French Artists and Intellectuals Survived the Nazi Occupation Frederic Spotts The German occupation of France from 1940 to 1945 presented wrenching challenges for the nation’s artists and intellectuals. Some were able to flee the country; those who remained—including Gide and Céline, Picasso and Matisse, Cortot and Messiaen, and Cocteau and Gabin—responded in differing ways. This fascinating book is the first to provide a full account of how France’s artistic leaders coped under the crushing German presence. Some became heroes, others villains; most were simply survivors. Filled with anecdotes about the artists, composers, writers, filmmakers and actors who lived through the years of occupation, the book illuminates the disconcerting experience of life and work within a cultural prison. Frederic Spotts uncovers Hitler’s plan to pacify the French through an active cultural life, and examines the unexpected Frederic Spotts is author of Bayreuth: vibrancy of opera, ballet, painting, theatre, and film in both the A History of the Wagner Festival, Occupied and Vichy Zones.

What was it like for ordinary people to join the Crusades? How did Crusaders contend with the enormous difficulties they encountered? Christian prisoners about to be decapitated by their Saracen captors. British Library.

Fighting for the Cross Crusading to the Holy Land Norman Housley In a series of massive military undertakings that stretched from 1095 to 1291, Christendom’s armies won, defended and lost the sacred sites of the Holy Land. Many books have been written about the Crusades, but until now none has described in detail what is was like to take part in medieval Europe’s most ambitious wars. This vividly written book draws on extensive research and on a wealth of surviving contemporary accounts to recreate the full experience of crusading, from the elation of taking up the cross to the difficult adjustments at home when the war was over. Distinguished historian Norman Housley explores the staggering logistical challenges of raising, equipping and transporting thousands of Christian combatants from Europe to the East as well as the complications that non-combatant pilgrims presented.

Since it was first translated from Latin, the Bible has become more and more accessible—and more and more influential

The Bible and the People Lori Anne Ferrell In the eleventh century, the Bible was available only in expensive and rare hand-copied manuscripts. Today, millions of people from all walks of life seek guidance, inspiration, entertainment and answers from their own editions of the Bible. This well illustrated book tells the story of what happened to the ancient set of writings we call the Bible during those thousand years. Anchoring the story in material evidence— hundreds of different translations and versions of the Bible—Lori Anne Ferrell discusses how the Bible has been endlessly retailored to meet the changing needs of religion, politics and the reading public while retaining its special status as a sacred text. Focusing on the English-speaking world, The Bible and the People charts the extraordinary voyage of the Bible from manuscript Bibles to the Gutenberg volumes, Bibles commissioned by kings and queens, the Eliot Indian Bible, salesmen’s door-to-door Bibles, children’s Bibles, Gideon Bibles, teen magazine Bibles and more. Ferrell discusses the Bible’s profound impact on readers over the centuries, and, in turn, the mark those readers made upon it. Enjoyable and informative, this book Lori Anne Ferrell is professor of early takes a fresh look at the fascinating and little-recognised connections modern history and literature at among Christian, political and book history.

The untold story of Israel’s ‘other’ Jews, and the prejudice they have faced

Main picture: Yemenite Jews looking at a map of Israel, c. 1948.

Not The Enemy Israel’s Jews from Arab Lands Rachel Shabi In this remarkable, page-turning book, Rachel Shabi lays bare the painful division within Israeli society between Ashkenazi Jews, whose families come from Eastern Europe, and Sephardic or Mizrahi Jews, who come from the Arab countries of the Middle East. Herself from an Iraqi Jewish family, Shabi explores the history of this relationship, tracing it back to the first days of the new state of Israel. In a society desperate to identify itself with Europe, immigrants who spoke Arabic and followed Middle Eastern customs were seen as inferior; David Ben Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister, famously described them as lacking the most elementary knowledge. Sixty years later, Mizrahis are still much less successful than Ashkenazis, condemned, often, to substandard education, low-quality housing and mockery for their accents, tastes and lifestyles. Through a combination of archival research and personal interviews, Shabi brings to light the prejudices that permeate Israeli society and demonstrates how they affect Mizrahi lives and hopes. Even more importantly, she argues that Rachel Shabi was born in Israel to the treatment meted out to Mizrahis reflects a wider Israeli rejection of Iraqi Jews and grew up in Britain. the Middle East and its culture, a rejection that makes it impossible for A journalist, she has written for Israel ever to become integrated within its own region.

With unprecedented access to extensive and private royal archives, the author draws a detailed and absorbing portrait of Jordan’s remarkable King Hussein King Hussein gives a press conference at the end of the 1967 war with Israel

King Hussein of Jordan A Political Life Nigel Ashton King Hussein of Jordan ascended the throne in 1953, at the age of seventeen. He inherited a country that was riven with instability; the entire Middle East was in disarray following the 1948 war and the creation of Israel, and across the region traditional regimes were being overthrown by Arab nationalists. In this absorbing biography Nigel Ashton tells how Hussein managed not only to survive but to flourish in the half-century that followed. Clever political management enabled him to thwart the numerous threats to his life and kingdom, and his charm and diplomatic savvy made him a favourite in the West. Most strikingly, he conducted a covert dialogue with Israeli leaders for more than thirty years, culminating in the historic 1994 peace treaty between Jordan and Israel. Ashton has had unique access to Hussein’s private papers, including his secret correspondence with US, British and Israeli leaders, and has Nigel Ashton is senior lecturer, conducted numerous interviews with members of Hussein’s circle and Department of International History, immediate family.

Francis Bacon Studies for a Portrait Michael Peppiatt One of the most elusive and enigmatic creative geniuses of modern times, Francis Bacon was a man of endless contradictions and facets. In this invaluable book Michael Peppiatt, a major art critic and close friend of Bacon, offers an entertaining and uniquely well-informed portrait of this complex artist. Peppiatt’s collection of interviews and essays spans more than forty years—from 1963, when the two men met, to 2007, when Peppiatt wrote an essay explaining Bacon’s passionate involvement with Van Gogh. The pieces in between include discussions of Bacon’s working methods and techniques, his unlikely relationship with his London dealer, his attitude toward Christian belief and classical myth, and his defining friendship with the eminent French writer Michel Leiris. Peppiatt also provides fascinating anecdotes about the artist’s early life, his intimate relationships, and his connections with the artists who were his contemporaries and friends. In addition, among the interviews reproduced for the book are new transcripts of two interviews presenting previously omitted material that brings out many little- known aspects of Bacon’s presence and personality.

Michael Peppiatt is the leading authority on Francis Bacon. He has written the definitive biography of the artist and curated several influential exhibitions of his work.

A renowned critic and historian offers a radically new account of the meaning of ambitious art photography since the Bechers Thomas Demand, Archive, 1995. Chromogenic process print.

Why Photography Matters as Art as Never Before Michael Fried From the late 1970s onward, serious art photography began to be made at large scale and for the wall. Michael Fried argues that this immediately compelled photographers to grapple with issues centering on the relationship between the photograph and the viewer standing before it that until then had been the province only of painting. Fried further demonstrates that certain philosophically deep problems— associated with notions of theatricality, literalness and objecthood, and touching on the role of original intention in artistic production, first discussed in his controversial essay ‘Art and Objecthood’ (1967)—have come to the fore once again in recent photography. This means that the photographic ‘ghetto’ no longer exists; instead photography is at the cutting edge of contemporary art as never before. Among the photographers and video-makers whose work receives serious attention in this powerfully argued book are Jeff Wall, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Andreas Gursky, Luc Delahaye, Rineke Dijkstra, Patrick Faigenbaum, Roland Fischer, Thomas Demand, Candida Höfer, Beat Streuli, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, James Welling, and Bernd and Hilla Becher. Future discussions of the new art photography will have no choice but to take a stand for or against Fried’s conclusions.

A captivating cultural history of the bagel and its journey through the centuries

The Bagel The Surprising History of a Modest Bread Maria Balinska If smoked salmon and cream cheese bring only one thing to mind, you can count yourself among the world’s millions of bagel mavens. But few people are aware of the bagel’s provenance, let alone its adventuresome history. This charming book tells the remarkable story of the bagel’s journey from the tables of seventeenth-century Poland to the freezers of middle America today, a story of often surprising connections between a cheap market-day snack and centuries of Polish, Jewish and American history. Research in international archives and numerous personal interviews uncover the bagel’s links with the defeat of the Turks by Polish King Jan Sobieski in 1683, the Yiddish cultural revival of the late nineteenth century, and Jewish migration across the Atlantic to America. There the story moves from the bakeries of New York’s Lower East Side to the Bagel Bakers’ Local 388 Union of the 1960s, and the attentions of the mob. For all its modest size, the bagel has managed to bridge cultural gaps, rescue kings from obscurity, charge the emotions and challenge received wisdom. Maria Balinska weaves together a rich, quirky and evocative history of East European Jewry and the unassuming ring- shaped roll the world has taken to its heart.

An unexpected and fascinating examination of the vanished Jewish trade in ostrich feathers, which thrived on three continents

Plumes Ostrich Feathers, Jews, and a Lost World of Global Commerce Sarah Abrevaya Stein The thirst for exotic ornament among fashionable women in the metropoles of Europe and America prompted a bustling global trade in ostrich feathers that flourished from the 1880s until the First World War. When feathers fell out of fashion with consumers, the result was an economic catastrophe for many, a worldwide feather bust. In this remarkable book, Sarah Stein draws on rich archival materials to bring to light the prominent and varied roles of Jews in the feather trade. She discovers that Jews fostered and nurtured the trade across the global commodity chain and throughout the far-flung territories where ostriches were reared and plucked, and their feathers were sorted, exported, imported, auctioned, wholesaled and finally manufactured for sale.

Reading Matters Five Centuries of Discovering Books Margaret Willes It is easy to forget in our own day of cheap paperbacks and mega- bookstores that, until very recently, books were luxury items. Those who could not afford to buy had to borrow, share, obtain secondhand, inherit or listen to others reading. This book examines how people acquired and read books from the sixteenth century to the present, focusing on the personal relationships between readers and the volumes they owned. Margaret Willes considers a selection of private and public libraries across the period—most of which have survived—showing the diversity of book owners and borrowers, from country-house aristocrats to modest farmers, from Regency ladies of leisure to working men and women. Exploring the collections of avid readers such as Samuel Pepys, Thomas Jefferson, Sir John Soane, Thomas Bewick and Denis and Edna Healey, Margaret Willes also investigates the means by which books were sold, lending fascinating insights into the ways booksellers Margaret Willes was Publisher for the and publishers marketed their wares.

An absorbing account of America’s captivation with the British monarchy, from the Founding Fathers to the present © Corbis.

The Eagle and the Crown Americans and the British Monarchy Frank Prochaska This book tells the intriguing and paradoxical story of a nation that overthrew British rule only to become fascinated by the glamour of its royal family. Examining American attitudes towards British royalty from the Revolutionary period to the death of Princess Diana, The Eagle and the Crown penetrates the royal legacy in American politics, culture and national self-image. Frank Prochaska argues that the United States is not only beguiled by the British monarchy but has itself considered the idea of a presidency assuming many of the characteristics of a monarchy. He shows that America’s Founding Fathers created what Teddy Roosevelt later called an ‘elective king’ in the office of the president, conferring quasi-regal status on the occupant of the Oval Office. Prochaska also contends that members of the British royal family who visit the United States have been key players in the emergence of America’s obsession with celebrity. America’s complex relationship with the British monarchy has for more Frank Prochaska is lecturer and senior than two hundred years been part of the nation’s conversation about research scholar in the Department itself, a conversation that Prochaska explores with wit and panache. of History, Yale University, and author of Royal Bounty: The Making of a “Frank Prochaska probably knows as much about the British Welfare Monarchy, published by Yale. monarchy as any man alive.

History 17

Alexander the Great is remembered as a brilliant conqueror, but his father’s achievements as a leader were greater still Main picture: Portrait of Philip on a silver tetradrachm. Left: Lion of Chaeronea.

Philip II of Macedonia Ian Worthington Alexander the Great is probably the most famous ruler of antiquity, and his spectacular conquests are recounted often in books and films. But what of his father, Philip II, who united Macedonia, created the best army in the world at the time and conquered and annexed Greece? This landmark biography is the first to bring Philip to life, exploring the details of his life and legacy and demonstrating that his achievements were so remarkable that it can be argued they outshone those of his more famous son. Without Philip, Greek history would have been entirely different. Taking into account recent archaeological discoveries and reinterpreting ancient literary records, Ian Worthington brings to light Philip’s political, economic, military, social and cultural accomplishments. He reveals the full repertoire of the king’s tactics, including several polygamous diplomatic marriages, deceit, bribery, military force and a knack for playing off enemies against one another. The author also inquires into the king’s influences, motives and aims, and in particular his turbulent, unravelling relationship with Alexander, which may have Ian Worthington is Frederick A. ended in murder.

18 Music/Performing Arts Fred Astaire Joseph Epstein Joseph Epstein’s Fred Astaire investigates the great dancer’s magical talent, taking up the story of his life, his personality, his work habits, his modest pretensions and above all his accomplishments. Written with the wit and grace the subject deserves, Fred Astaire provides a remarkable portrait of this extraordinary artist and how he came to embody for Americans a fantasy of easy elegance and, more complicatedly, of democratic aristocracy. Tracing Astaire’s life from his birth in Omaha to his death in his late eighties in Hollywood, the book discusses his early days with his talented and outspoken sister Adele, his gifts as a singer (Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Jerome Kern all delighted in composing for Astaire) and his many movie dance partners, among them Rita Hayworth, Eleanor Powell, Cyd Charisse and Betty Hutton. A key chapter of the book is devoted to Astaire’s somewhat unwilling partnership with Ginger Rogers, the woman with whom he danced most dazzlingly of all. What emerges from these pages is a fascinating view of an American Joseph Epstein is the author of, among era, seen through the accomplishments of Fred Astaire, an unassuming other books, Snobbery, Friendship, but perfectionist performer who transformed entertainment into art and Fabulous Small Jews.

Paperbacks 21 The First Day of the Blitz September 7, 1940 Peter Stansky On September 7, 1940, the long-feared attack by the Luftwaffe plunged London into a cauldron of fire and devastation. This book recreates that day in all its horror, using rich archival sources and first-hand accounts, many never before published. Peter Stansky weaves together the stories of people who recorded their experiences of the opening hours of the Blitz. Then, exploring more deeply, he examines what that critical day meant to the nation at the time, and what it came to mean in following years. “From the ruins of the buildings levelled on that first night, the myth of the Blitz, still potent today, arose. Stansky makes well-judged use of eyewitness accounts to highlight the reality behind the myth.” —Nick Rennison, The Sunday Times “He offers a vivid account of how Londoners withstood attack. Recent events have shown how that resilient spirit lives into our own day.”—William Hay, The Literary Review

The Uses of Disorder Personal Identity and City Life Richard Sennett Richard Sennett is one of the world’s leading sociologists, and this book, first published in 1970, was his first single-authored work. It launched his exploration of communities and how they live in cities, and outlined his view that order breeds narrow, violence-prone lives, while an ‘equilibrium of disorder’ brings vigour and diversity to urban life. The New York Times described it as ‘the best available contemporary defence of anarchism’. The Uses of Disorder followed the student and urban rebellions of the late 1960s. But it remains uncannily apposite to the problems of city life forty years on. In a new preface Sennett considers the response to the book over those years, and relates it to the circumstances faced by the inhabitants of cities in the twenty-first century. The body of the text remains unchanged, ready for a new generation of readers.

This book explores how the Nuremberg community has confronted the implications of the genocide in which it participated, while also dealing with the appalling suffering of ordinary German citizens during and after the war. Neil Gregor’s compelling account of the painful process of remembering and acknowledging the Holocaust offers new insights into post-war memory in Germany and how it has operated. Gregor takes a novel approach to the theme of memory, commemoration and remembrance, and he proposes a highly nuanced explanation for the failure of Germans to face up to the Holocaust for years after the war.

Selling the Tudor Monarchy Authority and Image in Sixteenth-Century England Kevin Sharpe The management of image in the service of power is a familiar tool of twenty-first century politics. Here a leading historian reveals how, from even before the Reformation, the Tudors sought to sustain and enhance their authority by representing themselves to their people through the media of building, print, art, material culture and speech. Deploying what we might now describe as ‘spin’, Tudor rulers worked actively as patrons and popularisers to present themselves to the best advantage. Familiarity, however, brought risk. The art of royal representation was a delicate balance between mystification and popularisation, and those rulers who most used it—notably Henry VIII and Elizabeth I—enjoyed the longest reigns and, at most times, wide support. Yet even in Elizabeth’s case successful image-making tended to surrender her authority to popular construction. By the end of the sixteenth century, the Tudors had survived reformations and rebellions, strengthened the crown and imprinted themselves on the imaginations and lives of their subjects. Yet relentless promotion of the royal image had desacralised it, “A landmark project, of abiding leaving a difficult legacy to their Stuart successors. interest to both scholars and more This first sustained analysis of the verbal and visual representations of general readers . . . a very major Tudor power embraces art history, literary studies and the history of piece of scholarship”—Peter Lake, consumption and material culture.

The Arts of Intimacy Christians, Jews, and Muslims in the Making of Castilian Culture Jerrilynn D. Dodds, María Rosa Menocal and Abigail Krasner Balbale This lavishly illustrated book explores the vibrant interaction among different and sometimes opposing cultures, and how their contacts with one another transformed them all. It chronicles the tumultuous history of Castile in the wake of the Christian capture of the Islamic city of Tulaytula, now Toledo, in the eleventh century and traces the development of Castilian culture as it was forged in the new intimacy of Christians with the Muslims and Jews they had overcome. The authors paint a portrait of the culture through its arts, architecture, poetry and prose, uniquely combining literary and visual arts. Concentrating on the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the book reveals the extent to which Castilian identity is deeply rooted in the experience of confrontation, interaction, and at times union with Hebrew and Arabic cultures during the first centuries of its creation. Abundantly illustrated, the volume serves as a splendid souvenir of southern Spain; beautifully written, it illuminates a culture deeply enriched by others.

History 27 The Long Parliament of Charles II Annabel Patterson Charles II’s first and most important parliament sat for eighteen years without a general election, earning itself the sobriquet ‘Long’. In 1661 this parliament began in eager compliance with the new king. Gradually disillusioned by Charles’s manoeuvres, however, its members came to demand more control of the economy, religion and foreign policy, starting a struggle that led to the Exclusion crisis. This lively book is the first full study of this Restoration Parliament. Using parliamentary diaries, newsletters, memoirs, letters from members of parliament, scofflaw pamphlets and the king’s own speeches, Annabel Patterson describes this second Long Parliament in an innovative and challenging way, stressing that how its records were kept and circulated is an important part of the story. Because the parliamentary debates of this age were jealously guarded from public knowledge, unofficial sources of information flourished. Often these Annabel Patterson is Sterling Professor are more candid or colourful than official records.

The book, therefore, not only recovers a crucial period of parliamentary history, one that helps to explain the Glorious Revolution, it also opens a discussion about historiographical method.

Paracelsus Medicine, Magic and Mission at the End of Time Charles Webster Theophrastus von Hohenheim (1493–1541), better known as Paracelsus, was a physician, natural magician, radical activist of the early Reformation and commentator on the social and religious issues of his day. This elegantly written book is the defining account of the man known as ‘Paracelsus the Great’. Drawing on the whole range of relevant manuscript and printed sources, Charles Webster considers Paracelsus’s life and works, explores his advocacy for total reform of the clerical, legal and medical professions, and describes his precise expectations for the Christian church of the future, focusing on his affinity with the spiritualist Anabaptists. The author concludes with the apocalyptic speculations of Paracelsus, who vividly portrayed the sense of endtime crisis that constituted one of the defining characteristics of his era. “A marvellous book . . . which sets Paracelsus the thinker and practitioner more convincingly in the context of the radical social and religious reforms of his time than hitherto”—Stephen Clucas, Birkbeck College, University of London

A fascinating look at this contemporary artist-provocateur, including the first exploration of his early career in Chicago

Jeff Koons Edited by Francesco Bonami With an essay by Francesco Bonami and a conversation between Jeff Koons and Lynne Warren In 1975, a young art student named Jeff Koons (b. 1955) moved to Chicago, where he studied at the School of the Art Institute; worked as a studio assistant to his hero, painter Ed Paschke, for $1 an hour; and socialised with many of the city’s most talented artists. This handsome book takes a fresh look at the rise and career of Jeff Koons, who is now arguably one of the world’s most famous artists. Exhibition Koons collaborated extensively on this book, which accompanies the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, first solo museum exhibition in the US in 16 years and offers a survey 31 May – 21 September 2008 of nearly thirty years of his work, beginning with iconic sculptures from 1979 to new paintings completed in 2007. Francesco Bonami reconsiders Koons’s career, making intriguing connections to the work of Andy Warhol, A. A. Milne, Marcel Duchamp and Gustave Courbet, among others. This is the first publication to explore a little-known but highly influential period in the artist’s career—his time in Chicago in the 1970s. It also provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to Koons’s work for new audiences and short texts about each of his series and many major works.

Starting with commonplace objects like plastic cups, construction paper and ‘Hefty’ brand garbage bags, this prolific artist transforms the often overlooked into playfully philosophical works that are ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. Friedman forces his viewers to reconsider the criteria for what is called ‘art’ by exploring the material qualities of the object and the experiential process of making art through repetition, mutation and dimension. While his work can demand a level of trust and reflection, it often rewards the viewer by sparking a childlike curiosity that sets one free to the beautifully endless potential of the everyday. The book features over 250 colour illustrations and encompasses 200 A survey of the highly inventive artworks that reflect Friedman’s humour, his painstaking craftsmanship, work of an artist who transforms and the unending inventiveness that distinguishes his work. common objects into extraordinary Arthur Danto, an art scholar and philosopher, is the author of more than works of art twenty books, including the 1984 essay entitled ‘The End of Art’.

Blinky Palermo Abstraction of an Era Christine Mehring Twenty-one-year-old Peter Heisterkamp began signing his colourful and playful abstract artworks ‘Palermo’ in 1964, when peers noted his resemblance to the American gangster Frank ‘Blinky’ Palermo. This handsome book, an historical and critical study of Palermo’s painting from the time he entered Joseph Beuys’s now famous class at the Düsseldorf academy in 1964 to his death in 1977, explores his significance for postwar and abstract art.

A gorgeous book that offers a fresh interpretation of the watercolours of one of our most beloved artists Cézanne: Bathers, 1894–1906. Oskar Reinhardt Collection, am Römerholz, Winterthur. Photo © Oskar Reinhardt Collection, am Römerholz, Wintertur.

Cézanne’s Watercolors Between Drawing and Painting Matthew Simms Cézanne’s watercolours exhibit not only kaleidoscopic arrays of translucence but also very light graphite pencil lines that contrast strikingly with the soft watery touches of colour. These drawn lines have been largely overlooked in previous studies of Cézanne’s work in this medium. In this ravishing book, Matthew Simms argues that it was the dialogue between drawing and painting—the movement between the pencil and the paintbrush—that attracted Cézanne to watercolour. The technique allowed Cézanne to express what he termed his ‘sensations’ in two distinct modes that become a record of his shifting and spontaneous responses to his subject. Combining close visual analysis and examination of historical context, Simms focuses on the counterpoint of drawing and colour in Cézanne’s work over the course of his career and as viewed in relation to his oil paintings. More than a tool for sketching or preparing for oil paintings, Simms contends, watercolour was a unique means of expression in its own right that allowed Cézanne to combine in one place the two otherwise opposed mediums of drawing and painting.

A timely and abundantly illustrated re-evaluation of a sometimes overlooked Dutch master

Jan Lievens A Dutch Master Rediscovered Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. With contributions by Lloyd DeWitt, Stephanie Dickey, Melanie Gifford, Greg Rubinstein and Jaap van der Veen Jan Lievens (1607–1674) was one of the most fascinating and enigmatic Dutch artists of the seventeenth century. Daring and innovative as a painter, printmaker and draftsman, he created powerful character studies, genre scenes, landscapes, formal portraits and religious and allegorical images that were widely praised and valued during his lifetime. This beautiful book, the first overview of the full range of Lievens’s career, features more than 50 paintings, many of them newly discovered in private collections, and more than 75 prints and drawings, providing a reassessment of his place in the history of Exhibition art. National Gallery of Art, Washington, 26 October 2008 – 11 January 2009 Lievens began his career in his native Leiden, where he worked closely with his compatriot Rembrandt, who admired and collected Lievens’s Milwaukee Art Museum, 7 February – 26 April 2009 works. Lievens then moved to London, Antwerp and Amsterdam, and his peripatetic career and multitude of working styles, say the authors Rembrandthuis, Amsterdam, 17 May – 9 August 2009 of this book, may explain why his reputation today is not as high as it should be. This book offers a necessary corrective, returning to Lievens the esteem he deserves.

36 Art Art, Marriage, and Family in the Florentine Renaissance Palace Jacqueline Marie Musacchio Although we live in an era when vast sums of money are lavished on wedding festivities, we are not unique: in Renaissance Italy, middle- and upper-class families spent enormous amounts on marriages that were intended to establish or consolidate the status and lineage of one or both of the respective families. This lavishly illustrated book explores the social and economic background to marriage in Renaissance Florence and discusses the objects—paintings, sculptures, furniture, jewellery, clothing and household items—associated with marriage and ongoing family life. By analysing urban palaces and their furnishings, Jacqueline Marie Musacchio shows how families interacted with art on a daily basis. This began at marriage, when the bride brought a dowry and the groom provided the home and its furnishings. It continued with the A beautifully illustrated account of accumulation of objects during the marriage and the birth of children. life behind the walls of a Florentine And it ended with the redistribution of these same objects at death.

Federico Barocci Allure and Devotion in Late Renaissance Painting Stuart Lingo Federico Barocci was among the most admired painters in sixteenth- century Italy, but the distinctive nature of his compelling altarpieces and their historical importance have never been fully understood. This important study relates Barocci’s achievements to transformations in the theory and practice of painting during an era in which pictorial developments generated deep tensions for ecclesiastical art. Barocci was celebrated as one of the only painters whose religious works combined the sensuous allure increasingly desired in modern art with profound devotion. Through a close study of Barocci’s work and of documents ranging from letters to art theory, Stuart Lingo reconstructs how the painter accomplished his artistic and cultural miracle. In so doing, he offers new insights into critical artistic issues in the late Renaissance, from the cultural significance of stylistic choices to the early development of analogies between painting and music as affective arts.

Kenneth Moore, Eve Straussman-Pflanzer, Wendy Thompson and Jeremy Warren Many famous Italian Renaissance artworks were made to celebrate love and marriage. They were the pinnacles of a tradition, dating from the early Renaissance, of commemorating betrothal, marriage and the birth of a child by commissioning extraordinary objects or exchanging them as gifts. This important volume is the first to examine the entire range of works to which Renaissance rituals of love and marriage gave rise and makes a major contribution to our understanding of Renaissance art in its broader cultural context. Some 140 works of art, dating from about 1400 to 1600, are discussed by a distinguished group of scholars and are reproduced in full colour.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art • New York• Art of Museum Metropolitan The Objects of the highest artistry reflect the development of a sophisticated trade network throughout the eastern Mediterranean region and the resulting fusion of Near Eastern, Aegean and Egyptian cultural styles. The impact of these far-flung connections is documented in the precious materials sent to royal and temple treasuries and, most dramatically, in objects discovered on merchant shipwrecks off the shores of southern Anatolia. The history of the period and the artistic creativity fostered by interaction among the powers of the ancient Near East, both great and small, are discussed by an international Exhibition group of scholars in essays and entries on the more than 350 objects The Metropolitan Museum of Art, included in the exhibition, continuing the fascinating story begun in 18 November 2008 – 15 March 2009 the landmark catalogue Art of the First Cities (2003).

Art 39 Landscapes Clear and Radiant The Art of Wang Hui (1632–1717) Edited by Maxwell K. Hearn With contributions by Wen C. Fong, Chin-Sung Chang, Maxwell K. Hearn and Shiyee Liu Wang Hui, the most celebrated painter of late seventeenth-century China, played a key role both in reinvigorating past traditions of landscape painting and in establishing the stylistic foundations for the imperially sponsored art of the Qing court. An artist of protean talent and immense ambition, Wang developed an all-embracing synthesis of historical landscape styles that constituted one of the greatest artistic innovations of late imperial China. This comprehensive study of the painter’s career, the first published in English, features essays examining his life and achievements as well as his masterwork, the monumental scroll depicting the Kangxi emperor’s Southern Inspection Tour. Twenty-seven of Wang Hui’s paintings, drawn from the Metropolitan Museum and from museums in Beijing, Taipei, Shanghai and Tokyo, are supplemented by a wealth of images ranging from ancient Chinese paintings to works by Wang’s contemporaries.

How to Read Chinese Paintings Maxwell K. Hearn The Chinese often use the expression du hua, ‘to read a painting’, in connection with their study and appreciation of such works. This volume closely 'reads' thirty-six masterpieces of Chinese painting from the encyclopaedic collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in order to reveal the major characteristics and themes of this rich pictorial tradition. Using accessible texts and numerous large colour details, this book examines multiple layers of meaning: style, technique, New York• Art of Museum Metropolitan The symbolism, past traditions and the artist’s personal circumstances. A dynastic chronology, map and list of further readings supplement the text. Spanning a thousand years of Chinese art, these landscapes, flowers, birds, figures, religious subjects and calligraphies illuminate the main goal of every Chinese artist: to capture not only the outer appearance of a subject but also its inner essence.

40 Art Warhol’s Jews Ten Portraits Reconsidered Richard Meyer With contributions by Gabriel de Guzman When it first appeared in 1980, Andy Warhol’s Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century was adored by Jewish audiences even as it aroused antagonism from critics. Why did Warhol create this series? How did he select the figures to be portrayed? How has the passage of time reshaped the meaning of these portraits? This handsomely illustrated book examines the history of these silk- screen paintings and prints, delving into Warhol’s re-fashioning of portraiture, his deep interest in repetitive art forms, and his embrace of commercialism. Richard Meyer shows how Warhol’s unorthodox approach to portrait painting was a product of both his seriousness as Exhibition an artist and his avowed interest in making money, and he explains how The Jewish Museum, New York, Warhol selected ten figures—from Bernhardt and Buber to Freud and 16 March – 3 August 2008 Kafka—who would ensure the timelessness of his series.

Chagall and the Artists of the Russian Jewish Theater Susan Goodman With essays by Zvi Gitelman, Ivanov Vladislav, Jeffrey Veidlinger and Benjamin Harshav Shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution, Soviet Jewish theatres became catalysts for modernist experimentation. Working with avant-garde playwrights, actors and producers in a new political environment, artists such as Marc Chagall, Natan Altman, Robert Falk and Aleksandr Tyshler combined Russian folk art with elements of Cubo-Futurism and Constructivism into a bold new style.

Art 43 Unseemly Pictures Graphic Satire and Politics in Early Modern England Helen Pierce This engaging book is the first full study of the satirical print in seventeenth-century England from the rule of James I to the Regicide. It considers graphic satire both as a particular pictorial category within the wider medium of print and as a vehicle for political agitation, criticism and debate. Helen Pierce demonstrates that graphic satire formed an integral part of a wider culture of political propaganda and critique during this period, and she presents many witty and satirical prints in the context of such related media as manuscript verses, ballads, pamphlets and plays. She also challenges the commonly held notion that a visual iconography of politics and satire in England originated during the 1640s, tracing the roots of this iconography back into native and European graphic cultures and traditions.

Helen Pierce is a postdoctoral research fellow based at the Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies at the University of York.

44 Art The National Gallery in Wartime Suzanne Bosman On August 23, 1939, with World War II looming, the National Gallery in London temporarily closed its doors to the public to take down the bulk of its collection and transport it to secret locations in Wales for safe-keeping. By May 1940, the collection had been transferred to Manod Quarry, a slate mine in the mountains, beneath 200 feet of solid rock. The Gallery, meanwhile, remained ‘open for business’ despite being bombed several times during the Blitz. This enthralling and richly documented book recounts for the first time the story of how the National Gallery functioned during this eventful period. With extensive archive photographs, many of which are published here for the first time, it celebrates the Gallery’s decision to keep the building open for temporary exhibitions and lunchtime concerts fronted by internationally renowned pianist Myra Hess. It also recalls director Kenneth Clark’s role as chairman of the War Artists Advisory Committee, whose aim was to commission and exhibit pictures recording the war, and the institution of the Picture of the Month, which exhibited in succession 43 of the Gallery’s best-known pictures during the war, and which continues today.

Sisley in England and Wales Christopher Riopelle and Ann Sumner Although born and raised in France, Impressionist painter Alfred Sisley (1839–1899) was in fact from an English family and retained links with his ancestral homeland all his life. In 1874––after his participation in the first Impressionist Exhibition in Paris––Sisley enjoyed a summer break in London, where he painted lively studies of life and leisure along the River Thames, while fellow artists including Monet and Pissarro conducted similar studies in Paris and along the Seine. When Sisley travelled to Wales in 1897, principally to marry his long-term partner, he was enthralled by the dramatic scenery he encountered along the South Wales coastline. The pictures resulting from this trip were among his most free and boldly painted works. Bringing together for the first time the beautiful paintings that Sisley created in England and Wales, this book provides an introduction to the artist and examines the impact his connection with these two countries had on his career as a French Impressionist.

Art 45 One Hundred Details from the National Gallery Kenneth Clark Originally published in 1938 when Kenneth Clark was director of the National Gallery, this book presents Clark’s favourite details from paintings in the museum’s collection. Newly updated and handsomely illustrated, this landmark book juxtaposes pairs of details rarely viewed together––such as cupids from Velázquez’s Rokeby Venus and Correggio’s The School of Love––to illuminate fascinating analogies and contrasts between paintings and artists.

46 Art Westward the Course of Empire Mark Ruwedel • With an essay by Jock Reynolds Mark Ruwedel (b. 1954) has photographed the American West for the past twenty-five years, revealing the narratives—both geological and human—contained within the landscape. This stunning book presents more than 70 prints from Ruwedel’s ongoing series Westward the Course of Empire, an inventory of the residual landforms created by the scores of railroads built in the American and Canadian West since 1869. The grades, cuts, tunnels and trestles depicted in Ruwedel’s photographs speak to a past triumph of technology over what was often perceived as hostile terrain, as well as to the desire and struggle to create wealth and power from the land. Long abandoned (and in some cases never completed), the railroads also evoke the futility of the enterprise. This book is thus a sublime yet restrained elegy to the land and to the follies and wonders of human ambition. Mark Ruwedel lives and works in Long Beach, California, where he teaches photography at the California State University at Long Beach. Jock Reynolds is the Henry J.

Burdock Janet Malcolm Over the course of three summers in New England, Malcolm gathered leaves of the burdock plant, a “large rank weed” with medicinal properties “that grows along roadsides and in waste places and around derelict buildings”. Influenced by Richard Avedon’s unsparing portraits of famous people, Malcolm is drawn to “uncelebrated leaves” on which “life has left its mark” through the ravages of time, weather, insects or blight. In her introduction, Malcolm reminds us that writers like Chekhov and Hawthorne have used burdock “to denote ruin and desolation”. And yet, for Malcolm, Burdock is an homage to the botanical illustrators who recognised “the gorgeousness of the particulars of the things that are alive in the world”. “Burdock consists of a series of large colour photographs portraying a single, unusual kind of leaf in various stages of growth and decay. As such, it is a work of botanical and indeed philosophical interest as well as an art book. Like all of Malcolm’s work, this project entails looking with a steely but sympathetic and extremely intelligent eye at the world around her, zeroing in on the oddities that others might miss and using them as clues through which she solves the larger mystery.”—Wendy Lesser, art critic, novelist and founding editor of The Threepenny Review Exhibition Malcolm’s leaves will be shown at the Lori Bookstein Fine Arts Gallery in New York, 9 September – 11 October 2008 Janet Malcolm is the author of Diana and Nikon, Two Lives: Gertrude and Alice (see page 20) and other books.

First Doubt Optical Confusion in Modern Photography: Selections from the Allan Chasanoff Collection Essay by Joshua Chuang • With contributions by Allan Chasanoff and Steven W. Zucker Many photographers have been intrigued with the baffling distortions, both subtle and disquieting, that can occur when the camera ‘captures’ the real world. Not always intentional, some images dazzle with impossible juxtapositions or disorienting spatial orders, while others confound the viewer’s belief in the documentary promise of photography. Drawn from the highly respected collection of Allan Chasanoff, the photographs in this intriguing volume confront viewers with the challenge of doubt and confusion in so-called ‘straight’ pictures. Featured are perceptually provocative images by Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Clarence John Laughlin, Imogen Cunningham and Lee Friedlander, among others.

Art 47 Seeing Mexico Photographed The Work of Horne, Casasola, Modotti and Álvarez Bravo Leonard Folgarait This engrossing book presents the photographs of four historically engaged artists and explains what they reveal about the highly dramatic revolutionary and post-revolutionary period in Mexico from 1910 to 1935. The works of these photographers—American Walter H. Horne, Italian Tina Modotti and Mexicans Agustín Víctor Casasola and Manuel Álvarez Bravo—are discussed not just as windows on to events but as artworks that offer both objective reporting and stylised expression. The twenty-five years covered in the book encompass some of the most convulsive developments in Mexico, from the violence and cataclysmic changes wrought by the Mexican Revolution to the immense struggles to forge a new nation and a new government. During this period, the work of the four photographers, two primarily documentary, one propagandistic and one artistic and personal, enabled Mexicans to understand the forces that had brought their nation to armed conflict October and social transformation. 208 pp. 234x156mm. 40 b/w illus.

River of No Return Laura McPhee • Preface by Robert Hass With an essay by Joanne Lukitsh The idea of the American wilderness has long captivated artists fascinated by the ways in which its unspoiled natural beauty embodies the nation’s identity. This lavishly produced volume celebrates the unsurpassed splendour of a fabled region, while also presenting the environmental complexities of managing a vast landscape in which the needs of ranchers, biologists, miners, tourists and locals seek a finely delineated balance. Photographer Laura McPhee follows in the tradition of nineteenth- century artistic approaches toward the sublime, relying on a large- format view camera to capture images of exquisite colour, clarity and definition. In images spanning all seasons, McPhee depicts the magnificence and history of the Sawtooth Valley in central Idaho. Her subject matter includes the region’s spectacular mountain ranges, rivers and ranchlands; its immense spaces and natural resources; the effects of mining and devastating wildfires; and the human stories of those who Exhibition live and work there. Featured texts set McPhee’s photographs in the National Museum of Women in the Arts, context of the work of American predecessors including Frederick Washington, D.C., Sommer and J. B.

Art 49 State of the Axe Guitar Masters in Photographs and Words Ralph Gibson • With an introduction by Anne Wilkes Tucker • Preface by Les Paul In this book, acclaimed photographer Ralph Gibson offers more than sixty intimate black-and-white portraits of guitarists playing their instruments. Focusing on musicians who have lent their unmistakable voices to virtually every musical genre—jazz, funk, rock, acoustic, blues, fusion, classical and experimental —Gibson reveals in each photograph the intense relationship of the player with his instrument. State of the Axe features guitarists across several generations, from early jazz greats to modern rockstars, as they play their widely varied guitars, including traditional six-strings, double necks, ten-strings and fretless models. Gibson’s images capture the enduring appeal of the instrument and the intense, often rapturous expressions of those who play it. Fusing his own passions for photography and music, Gibson generates a rhythm of words and images that creates a compelling view of the ‘state of the axe’ today. Among the featured artists are: Adrian Belew, Nels Cline, Jim Hall, Mary Halvorson, Allan Holdsworth, Bill Frisell, John McGlaughlin, Lou Reed, John Scofield, Mike Stern, Andy Summers and James Blood Ulmer.

End Game British Contemporary Art from the Chaney Family Collection Richard Cork and Elliott Zooey Martin British artists such as Damien Hirst and Antony Gormley have transformed the art world with their visually volatile investigations into states of being. This book, whose title takes its name from a work by Hirst, draws from an important private collection to highlight the best of today’s art from Britain. The volume focuses on thirteen major works by the Young British Artists, a dynamic association of painters, sculptors, video artists and photographers, whose irreverent and genre-bending art first took London by storm in the late 1980s. Featuring six masterpieces by Hirst, including multimedia constructions that confront the fragility of life and the certainty of death; Rachel Whiteread’s Untitled (Fire Escape), a monumental and ghostly negative stairway cast in plaster; and stills from Sam Taylor-Woods’s haunting video A Little Death, the book also includes a selection of provocative works by Gormley (Feeling Material XXVII) and other established figures as well as emerging artists.

The Plains of Mars European War Prints, 1500–1825, from the Collection of the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation James Clifton and Leslie Scattone • With Emine Fetvaci, Ira Gruber and Larry Silver From 1500 to 1825, Europe remained in an almost perpetual state of war. Religion, politics, economics and dynastic ambition all played a role in the turmoil that spread across the continent. War-related printed images also proliferated during this time, serving a variety of functions—commemorative, propagandistic, iconic, narrative, eulogistic, critical or instructional. This volume is the first graphic print survey of the theme of war in the early modern period. Featuring work by such artists as Dürer, Goya and Géricault, the book presents varied images of soldiers; battles (including specific historical events); production, innovation and instruction in arms and armour; and representations of abstract concepts related to war and peace.

50 Art Collected Writings on Velázquez Jonathan Brown In this stimulating book, a leading authority on the Spanish master Diego Velázquez discusses this enigmatic artist and explores the mysteries presented by his paintings. The essays collected here, written over the course of Jonathan Brown’s distinguished career, include some which are published in English for the first time and one which has never before been published. Two themes unite them. The first concerns the changing relationship between Velázquez and his patron Philip IV, which provides a framework for Brown to interpret the painter’s career. The centrepiece of this relationship is Veláquez’s masterpiece, Las Meninas, and this painting is the subject of two essays. The second theme is the problem of attributions and the related issue of Velázquez’s innovative technique. Since Velázquez was not a prolific painter, questions of authenticity become increasingly contentious. Brown considers this matter in its widest dimensions and participates in the debate about individual attributions.

Jonathan Brown is the Carroll and Milton Petrie Professor of Fine Arts at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. He is the author of the standard biography on Velázquez, Velázquez, Painter and Courtier.

Art 51 Sun, Wind, and Rain The Art of David Cox Scott Wilcox Born in Birmingham in 1783, David Cox was destined to become a major figure in the linked worlds of landscape painting and watercolour painting in the first half of the nineteenth century. Remarkably, no significant study of the artist has been undertaken in more than a century. This beautifully illustrated volume focuses much- needed attention on Cox, filling in the details of his biography and illuminating his contributions to British landscape painting. Cox’s widely-known Sun, Wind, and Rain, painted in 1845, is emblematic of his connections with J. M. W. Turner and other contemporary Romantic landscape painters—artists who shared a concern with the representation of light and atmosphere and weather. Exhibition Scott Wilcox’s chapter in this book investigates Cox’s artistic identity Yale Center for British Art, and his legacy. Other chapters address such topics as Birmingham’s 16 October 2008 – 4 January 2009 cultural milieu; myths about Cox’s life; the papers he chose; his Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery, painting in oils; and the fakes, forgeries and misattributions that have 31 January – 3 May 2009 challenged attempts to identify his oeuvre with certainty.

52 Art The Cosmopolitan Interior Liberalism and the Victorian Home, 1870–1914 Judith A. Neiswander Literature on domestic interior decoration first emerged as a popular genre in Britain during the 1870s and 1880s, as middle-class readers sought decorating advice from books, household manuals, women’s magazines and professional journals. This intriguing book examines that literature and shows how it was influenced by the widespread liberalism of the middle class. Judith Neiswander explains that during these years liberal values—individuality, cosmopolitanism, scientific rationalism, the progressive role of the elite and the emancipation of women—informed advice about the desirable appearance of the home. In the period preceding the First World War, these values changed dramatically: advice on decoration became more nationalistic in tone and a new goal was set for the interior—‘to raise the British child by the British hearth’. Neiswander traces this evolving discourse within the context of current writing on interior decoration, writing that is much more detached from social and political issues of the day. Judith A. Neiswander is an independent art historian. October 256 pp. 254x178mm. 70 b/w illus. ISBN 978-0-300-12490-3 £35.00*

Artistic Luxury Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique Edited by Stephen Harrison • Essays by Emmanuel Ducamp and Jeannine Falino Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique—these great designers came together only once to display their goods in what was probably the most opulent exhibition ever mounted. At the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, the three strove to position themselves ahead of their many competitors in the luxury market, each presenting his jewellery and home adornments as high art. Their success is explored in this splendidly illustrated catalogue, which elucidates the pre-war pinnacle of European culture. The array of displayed objects was mesmerising: Tiffany glass, Easter eggs to dazzle the Czars, realistic insects created in precious materials as sinister decorations. Many of these bore influences of the advanced art of the time, such as Art Nouveau, Viennese modernism and symbolism and of styles from around the world. Four essays discuss the works in the context of their times, illuminate the high societies served by the three masters and trace the cultural trends behind their extraordinary creations.

John Talman An Early Eighteenth-Century Connoisseur • Studies in British Art, Volume 19 Edited by Cinzia Maria Sicca Contributions by Christopher Baker, Cristina Borgioli, Louisa M. Connor Bulman, Antonella Capitanio, Marco Collareta, Peter Davidson, Francisco Freddolini, Cristiano Giometti, John Harris, Elisabeth Kieven and Cinzia Maria Sicca This handsome book is the only full-length study of John Talman (1677–1726), first director of the Society of Antiquaries and one of the most influential collectors of drawings in early 18th-century Britain. Prominent scholars discuss the history of Talman’s acquisitions, shedding light on the competitive nature, social practices and aesthetic ideas of connoisseurship both in England and abroad. Talman’s collection, amassed in England, Florence and Rome between the 1690s and 1719, focused on Italian medieval art, architecture and textiles, as well as Renaissance and Baroque architecture and sculpture. It reflected the tastes and preoccupations of artistic and intellectual élites in pre-enlightenment Europe. A vehicle for disseminating aesthetic and historical ideas, the collection became not only an extraordinary document of the state of ancient and modern Italian monuments but also a history of architecture and culture at large that provided visual evidence of buildings and rituals lost through time.

Art 53 William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones Interlacings Caroline Arscott The friendship between William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones began when they met as undergraduates in 1853 and lasted until Morris’s death in 1896, despite their differences in temperament and in attitudes to political engagement. This friendship was one of the defining features of both their lives, and yet the overlap in their artistic projects has not previously been considered in detail. In this deeply thoughtful book, Caroline Arscott explores particular aspects of the paintings of Burne-Jones and the designs of Morris and concludes that there are close interconnections in theme, allusion and formal strategy between the works of the two men. She suggests that themes of bodily pain, desire and appetite are central to their vision. Through careful readings of Burne-Jones’s painting and Morris’s designs for printed wallpapers and textiles, she shows that it is possible to bring together fine art and design in a linked discussion that illuminates the projects of both artists.

G. F. Watts Victorian Visionary Mark Bills and Barbara Bryant Widely regarded as a genius and as the greatest painter of the Victorian age, George Frederic Watts (1817–1904) was a ceaseless experimenter throughout his seventy-year career. He was not only the finest and most penetrating portraitist of his age but also a sculptor, landscape painter and symbolist. This beautifully illustrated book encompasses the work of his entire career, from his early self-portrait in 1834 and first exhibited painting in the Royal Academy in 1837 to his most iconic work, Hope, and the remarkable, almost abstract painting, Sower of the Systems, completed in 1903. In addition, the book includes historic photographs and archival materials, especially concerning the establishment in 1904 of the Watts Picture Gallery in Compton, Surrey, for the permanent exhibition of his art. Essays by leading scholars examine the artist’s output, life, reception and legacy.

William Holman Hunt and the Pre-Raphaelite Vision Edited by Katharine Lochnan and Carol Jacobi This abundantly illustrated book accompanies a major exhibition of William Holman Hunt’s work. It explores the nature and significance of the artist’s vision and its relevance to modern audiences. Despite the great interest in Pre-Raphaelitism, it has been nearly forty years since the last exhibition devoted to Holman Hunt, one of the founders of the movement. His vision, which inspired the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, has lost neither its timeliness or relevance. The book illustrates paintings by Hunt and his associates, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Arthur Hughes, and also includes drawings, prints, photographs, decorative arts, costumes and archival material. It examines Hunt’s work in the context of the Brotherhood, and his ideas in relation to the artistic, spiritual, intellectual, emotional and social crises of his age. By focussing on themes that remain relevant in the twenty-first century, the book sheds new light on Victorian neuroses, anxiety and the crisis of faith.

Brought to Light Photography and the Invisible, 1840–1900 Corey Keller, Jennifer Tucker, Tom Gunning and Maren Gröning Brought to Light invites readers to step back to a time when photography, X-rays and movies were new, when forays into the world beneath the skin or the realm beyond our everyday vision captivated scientists and the public alike. In this book, accounts of scientific experimentation blend with stories of showmanship to reveal how developments in nineteenth-century technology could enlighten as well as frighten and amaze. Through a series of 200 vintage images, produced by photographers, scientists and amateur inventors, this book ultimately traces the rise of popular science.

John Gutmann The Photographer at Work Sally Stein • Introduction by Douglas R. Nickel • Contribution by Amy Rule John Gutmann (1905–1998) was one of America’s most distinctive photographers. Born in Germany where he trained as an artist and art teacher, he fled the Nazis in 1933 and settled in San Francisco, reinventing himself as a photo-reporter. This book acknowledges Gutmann’s place in the history of photography. Drawing on his archive of photographs and papers at the Center for Creative Photography, it presents both unfamiliar works and little-known contexts for his imagery, linking his photography to his interest in painting and filmmaking, his collections of non-Western art and artefacts and his pedagogy.

62 Literature The Great Age of the English Essay An Anthology Edited by Denise Gigante From the pens of spectators, ramblers, idlers, tattlers, hypochondriacs, connoisseurs and loungers, a new literary genre emerged in eighteenth- century England: the periodical essay. Situated between classical rhetoric and the novel, the English essay challenged the borders between fiction and non-fiction prose and helped forge the tastes and values of an emerging middle class. This authoritative anthology is the first to gather in one volume the consummate periodical essays of the period. Included are The Spectator co-founders Joseph Addison and Richard Steele, literary lion Samuel Johnson and Romantic recluse Thomas De Quincey, addressing a wide variety of topics from the oddities of virtuosos to the private lives of parrots and the fantastic horrors of opium dreams. In a lively and informative introduction, Denise Gigante situates the essayists in the context of the contemporary Republic of Letters and highlights the stylistic innovations and conventions that distinguish the “This is a splendid project. periodical essay as a literary form. Critical notes on the essays, a No other collection of its scope and chronology, descriptions and a map of key London sites, and a glossary variety exists.”—James Engell, of eighteenth-century English usage complete the anthology—a Harvard University uniquely pleasurable survey of the golden era of British essays. “This collection puts the reader into the warm, snug world of the periodical essay as it self-consciously develops over two centuries.

Yale University Press is proud to announce the inaugural volumes of the Margellos World Republic of Letters series. The series is dedicated to making literary works from around the globe available in English through translation. It brings to the English-speaking world the work of leading poets, novelists, essayists, philosophers and playwrights from Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, to stimulate international discourse and creative exchange.

Five Spice Street Can Xue Five Spice Street is a novel about a street in an unnamed city whose inhabitants speculate on the life of a mysterious Madam X. The novel interweaves their endless suppositions into a work that is at once political parable and surreal fantasia. Some think X is 50 years old; others that she is 22. Some believe she has occult powers and has thereby enslaved the young men of the street; others think she is a common trickster playing mind games with the common people. Who is Madam X? How has she brought the good people of Five Spice Street to their knees either in worship or in exasperation? The unknown narrator takes no sides in the endless dialectic of visions, arguments and opinions. The investigation rages, the street becomes a Walpurgisnacht of speculations, fantasies and prejudices. Madam X is a vehicle whereby the people bare their souls, through whom they reveal themselves even as they try to penetrate the mystery of her extraordinary powers. Five Spice Street is one of the most astonishing novels of the past twenty years. Exploring the collective consciousness of this little street of ordinary people, Can Xue penetrates the deepest existential anxieties of the present day, whether in China or in the West, where the inevitable impermanence of identity struggles with the narrative within which identity must compose itself. Can Xue, meaning ‘dirty snow, leftover snow’, is the pseudonym of February 320 pp. 197x127mm.

Songbook The Selected Poems of Umberto Saba Umberto Saba Translated by George Hochfield and Leonard Nathan Introduction, Notes and Commentary by George Hochfield Umberto Saba’s reputation in Italy and Europe has steadily grown since his death in 1957, and today he is positioned alongside Eugenio Montale and Giuseppe Ungaretti as one of the three most important Italian poets of the first half of the twentieth century. Until now, however, English-language readers have had access to only a few examples of this poet’s work. This bilingual volume at last brings an extensive and exquisitely translated collection of Saba’s poems to English-speaking readers. Both faithful and lyrical, George Hochfield’s and Leonard Nathan’s translations do justice to Saba’s rigorous personal honesty and his profound awareness of the suffering that was for him coincident with life. An introductory essay, a translation of Saba’s early manifesto, ‘What Remains for Poets to Do’, and a chronology of his life situate his poetics within the larger context of twentieth- century letters. With its publication, this volume provides the English-speaking world with a momentous occasion to rethink not just Italian poetry but also the larger European modernist project. George Hochfield is Professor of English, Emeritus, State University of New York at Buffalo. Among the extensive publications of February 448 pp. 197x127mm. 1 illus.

Ballet’s Magic Kingdom Selected Writings on Dance in Russia, 1911–1925 Akim Volynsky • Selected, Translated, Edited and with an Introduction and Notes by Stanley J. Rabinowitz Akim Volynsky was a Russian literary critic, journalist and art historian who became Saint Petersburg’s liveliest and most prolific ballet critic in the early part of the twentieth century. This book, the first English edition of his provocative and influential writings, provides a striking look at life inside the world of Russian ballet at a crucial era in its history. Stanley Rabinowitz selects and translates forty of Volynsky’s articles—vivid eyewitness accounts that sparkle with details about the careers and personalities of such dance luminaries as Anna Pavlova, Mikhail Fokine, Tamara Karsavina and George Balanchine, at that time a young dancer in the Maryinsky company whose keen musical sense and creative interpretive power Volynsky was one of the first to recognise. Rabinowitz also translates Volynsky’s magnum opus, The Book of Exaltations, an elaborate meditation on classical dance technique that is at once a primer and an ideological treatise. Throughout his writings Volynsky emphasises the spiritual and ethereal qualities of ballet, argues Rabinowitz in his critical introduction which sets Volynsky’s life and work against the backdrop of the principal intellectual currents of the time. “An extremely important contribution to the literature on dance.”—Lynn Garafola, author of The Ballet Russes and Its World

Majesty and Humanity Kings and Their Doubles in the Political Drama of the Spanish Golden Age Alban K. Forcione In the Golden Age of Spanish Theatre, an age of highly dramatised coronations and regal spectacles, Alban Forcione has discovered a surprising but persistent preoccupation with the disrobing of the king. In both the celebrations of majesty and the enthrallment with its unveiling, he finds the chilling recesses in which a culture struggled to reconcile the public and the private, society and the individual, the monarch and the man. In brilliantly reinterpreting two of Lope de Vega’s plays, long regarded as conventional royalist propaganda, Forcione places his texts in the context of political and institutional history, philosophy, theology and art history. In so doing he shows how Spanish theatre anticipated the decisive changes in human consciousness that characterised the ascendance of the absolutist state and its threat to the cultivation of individuality, authenticity and humanity. “An impressive, exciting work of criticism and scholarship.”—David Quint, Yale University

Science/Nature/Environment 65 Life Explained Michel Morange • Translated by Matthew Cobb and Malcolm DeBevoise Fifty years ago Francis Crick and James D. Watson proposed the double helix model for the DNA molecule. They believed they had, as Crick put it, discovered the ‘secret of life’, and many agreed. But in the intervening years, science has marched—sometimes leaped—forward, and now the question ‘What is life?’ must be posed once again. In this accessible and fascinating book, Michel Morange draws on recent advances in molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, astrobiology and other disciplines to find today’s answers to the question of life. He begins by discussing the various answers that have been formulated in the past, setting contemporary definitions of life within a rich philosophical and scientific tradition that reaches back to ancient Greece. Then, with impeccable logic and a wealth of appropriate detail, Morange proceeds to lay out the fundamental characteristics that define life. The road to an understanding of life remains incompletely charted, he concludes, but the nature of its final destination is no longer an enigma. Yale is pleased to announce a new publishing venture with France’s premier science publisher, Éditions Odile Jacob. Michel Morange is professor of biology at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, where he directs the Centre Cavaillès for the History and Philosophy of Science. Matthew Cobb is senior lecturer in animal behaviour at the University of Manchester. Malcolm DeBevoise is a translator.

Sustainability by Design A Subversive Strategy for Transforming Our Consumer Culture John R. Ehrenfeld The developed world, increasingly aware of ‘inconvenient truths’ about global warming and sustainability, is turning its attention to possible remedies—eco-efficiency, sustainable development and corporate social responsibility, among others. But such measures are mere Band-Aids, and they may actually do more harm than good, says John Ehrenfeld, a pioneer in the field of industrial ecology. In this deeply considered book, Ehrenfeld challenges conventional understandings of ‘solving’ environmental problems and offers a radically new set of strategies to attain sustainability. The book is founded upon this new definition: sustainability is the possibility that humans and other life will flourish on Earth forever. There are obstacles to this hopeful vision, however, and overcoming them will require us to transform our behaviour, both individually and collectively. Ehrenfeld identifies problematic cultural attributes, such as the unending consumption that characterises modern life, and outlines practical steps towards developing sustainability as a mindset. By focusing on the ‘being’ mode of human existence rather than on the unsustainable ‘having’ mode we cling to now, he asserts, a sustainable world is within our reach. John R. Ehrenfeld serves as executive director of the International Society for Industrial Ecology and is senior research scholar at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. In 1999 he became the first recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the World Resources Institute. October 272 pp. 234x156mm. 11 b/w illus.
