Religion/Philosophy 1

PULITZER & ORANGE prize-winning author An incisive exploration of the tension between science and religion, showing how our concept of mind determines how we understand and value human nature and human civilisation

Absence of Mind 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.

Marilynne Robinson is the author of By defending the importance of individual reflection, Robinson Gilead, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer celebrates the power and variety of human consciousness in the Prize for fiction; Home, winner of the tradition of William James. She explores the nature of subjectivity and 2009 Orange Prize for Fiction; and considers the culture in which Sigmund Freud was situated and its Housekeeping, winner of the 1982 Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award influence on his model of self and civilisation.

2 Philosophy

An impassioned argument for the existence of evil from one of the most respected and influential critics of our day

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 judgments and metaphysical certainties to suit the modern age. In this witty, accessible study, the prominent Marxist thinker Terry Eagleton launches a surprising defense of the reality of evil, drawing on literary, theological and psychoanalytic sources to suggest that evil, no mere medieval artifact, is a real phenomenon with palpable force in our contemporary world. In a book that ranges from St. Augustine to alcoholism, Thomas Aquinas to Thomas Mann, Shakespeare to the Holocaust, Eagleton Terry Eagleton is Professor of English investigates the frightful plight of those doomed souls who apparently Literature at the National University destroy for no reason. In the process, he poses a set of intriguing of Ireland, Galway, Distinguished questions. Is evil really a kind of nothingness?

Language 3

Not just a great linguist, “ “ but a true champion and lover of language. BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH

For readers of E. H. Gombrich’s A Little History of the World, a lively journey through the story of language

A Little Book of Language David Crystal With a language disappearing every two weeks and neologisms springing up almost daily, an understanding of the origins and currency of language has never seemed more relevant. In this charming volume, a narrative history written explicitly for a young audience, expert linguist David Crystal proves why the story of language deserves retelling. From the first words of an infant to text messaging, A Little Book of Language ranges widely, revealing language’s myriad intricacies and quirks. In animated fashion, Crystal sheds light on the development of unique linguistic styles, the origins of obscure accents and the search for the first written word. He discusses the plight of endangered languages, as well as successful cases of linguistic revitalisation. Much more than a history, Crystal’s guide looks forward to the future of language, exploring the effect of technology on our day-to-day reading, writing and speech. Through enlightening tables, diagrams and quizzes, as well as Crystal’s avuncular and entertaining style, A Little Book of Language reveals the story of language to be a captivating tale for all ages.

David Crystal is one of the world’s preeminent language specialists. He has written nearly one hundred books, including The Stories of English.

“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

A Reader on Reading Alberto Manguel In this major collection of his essays, Alberto Manguel, whom George Steiner has called “the Casanova of reading”, 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.

Internationally acclaimed as an The thirty-nine essays in this volume explore the crafts of reading and anthologist, translator, essayist, writing, the identity granted to us by literature, the far-reaching shadow novelist and editor, Alberto Manguel of Jorge Luis Borges, to whom Manguel read as a young man, and the is the best-selling author of several links between politics and books and between books and our bodies. award-winning books, including A Dictionary of Imaginary Places and The powers of censorship and intellectual curiosity, the art of A History of Reading. translation, and those “numinous memory palaces we call libraries”, also figure in this remarkable collection.

Literature 5

Elegant and original, this study examines with sensitivity the crucial role that creative collaboration played in the development of Geoffrey Hill, Anthony Hecht and Robert Lowell’s work

True Friendship Geoffrey Hill, Anthony Hecht, and Robert Lowell under the Sign of Eliot and Pound Christopher Ricks True Friendship looks closely at three outstanding poets of the past half- century—Geoffrey Hill, Anthony Hecht and Robert Lowell—through the lens of their relation to their two predecessors in genius, T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. The critical attention then finds itself reciprocated, with Eliot and Pound being in their turn contemplated anew through the lenses of their successors. Hill, Hecht and Lowell are among the most generously alert and discriminating readers, as is borne out not only by their critical prose but (best of all) by their acts of new creation, those poems of theirs that are thanks to Eliot and Pound. “Opposition is true Friendship”. So William Blake believed, or at any rate hoped. Hill, Hecht and Lowell demonstrate many kinds of friendship with Eliot and Pound: adversarial, artistic, personal. In their creative assent and dissent, the imaginative literary allusions—like other, wider forms of influence—are shown to constitute the most magnanimous of welcomes and of tributes.

6 Music

A great writer and performer explains music’s effect on the human soul

Carlo Saraceni, Saint Cecilia and the Angel. Oil on canvas, c.1610. Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica, Rome.

Music and Sentiment Charles Rosen How does a work of music stir the senses, creating feelings of joy, sadness, elation or nostalgia? Though sentiment and emotion play a vital role in the composition, performance and appreciation of music, rarely have these elements been fully observed. In this succinct and penetrating book, Charles Rosen draws upon more than a half century as a performer and critic to reveal how composers from Bach to Berg have used sound to represent and communicate emotion in mystifyingly beautiful ways. Through a range of musical examples, Rosen details the array of stylistic devices and techniques used to represent or convey sentiment. This is not, however, a listener’s guide to any ‘correct’ response to a particular piece. Instead, Rosen provides the tools and terms with which to appreciate this central aspect of musical aesthetics, and indeed explores the phenomenon of contradictory sentiments embodied in a single motif or melody. Taking examples from Chopin, Schumann, Wagner and Liszt, he traces the use of radically changing intensities in “A marvellous text . . . Rosen points the Romantic works of the nineteenth century and devotes an entire the reader in the direction of old chapter to the key of C minor.

Capital Affairs London and the Making of the Permissive Society Frank Mort During the 1950s a series of spectacular scandals profoundly disturbed London life in ways that had major national consequences. High and low society collided in a city of social and sexual extremes. Patrician men-about-town, young independent women, go–ahead entrepreneurs, Westminster politicians, queer men and West-Indian newcomers played a conspicuous part in dramatic encounters that signalled a new phase of post-Victorian sexual morality. These dramas of pleasure and danger occurred not only in the glamorous and shady entertainment spaces of the West End but also in Whitehall, as well as the twilight zones of the inner city. Frank Mort uncovers the ways in which they transformed national culture. Soho and Notting Hill became beacons for anxieties over the changing character of sex in the city and the cultural impact of decolonisation.

A searing account of the UN resolution to partition Palestine, and its bloody aftermath

United Nations General Assembly session approving the partition of Palestine, 29 November 1947. UN Photo/AF.

Palestine Betrayed Efraim Karsh The 1947 UN resolution to partition Palestine irrevocably changed the political landscape of the Middle East, giving rise to six full-fledged wars between Arabs and Jews, countless armed clashes, blockades and terrorism, as well as a profound shattering of Palestinian Arab society. Its origins, and that of the wider Arab-Israeli conflict, are deeply rooted in Jewish-Arab confrontation and appropriation in Palestine. But the isolated occasions of violence during the British Mandate era (1920–48) suggest that the majority of Palestinian Arabs yearned to live and thrive under peaceful coexistence with the evolving Jewish national enterprise. So what was the real cause of the breakdown in relations between the two communities? In this brave and groundbreaking book, Efraim Karsh tells the story from both the Arab and Jewish perspectives. He argues that from the early 1920s onward, a corrupt and extremist leadership worked toward eliminating the Jewish national revival and protecting its own interests. Karsh has mined many of the Western, Soviet, UN and Israeli documents declassified over the past decade, as well as unfamiliar Arab sources, to reveal what “A brave and exceedingly important happened behind the scenes on both Palestinian and Jewish sides. It is an piece of work”—David Vital, arresting story of delicate political and diplomatic manoeuvring by leading author of A People Apart figures—Ben Gurion, Hajj Amin Husseini, Abdel Rahman Azzam, King Abdullah, Bevin and Truman—over the years leading up to partition, through the slide to war and its enduring consequences.

Economics 9

Hard-hitting analysis of the future of the global economy and what it means for the Western way of life

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. The international financial crisis which began in 2007 is but one result of the emerging nations’ increased gravitational pull. In this vividly written and compellingly argued book, Stephen D. King, the global chief economist at HSBC, one of the largest banking groups in the world, suggests that the decades ahead will see a major redistribution of wealth and power across the globe that will force consumers in the U.S. and Europe to stop living beyond their means. The tide of money washing in from emerging nations has already fuelled the recent property bubble in the West, while new patterns of trade have left the West increasingly dependent on risky financial services. Unless things change drastically, King argues, the increasing power of emerging markets, when coupled with poor internal regulation and an increasingly anachronistic system of global governance, will result in greater instability and income inequality, coupled with the risk of a major dollar decline. And as Western populations age and emerging economies develop further, the social and political consequences may be alarming to citizens who have grown accustomed to living in prosperity.

Stephen D. King is the global chief economist at HSBC, for which he has written on a wide range of global issues, including China’s currency, demographics and, more recently, the debt burden of western governments. He is a regular contributor to The Independent and makes May frequent appearances on TV and radio.

10 Current Affairs Yemen Dancing on the Heads of Snakes Victoria Clark Yemen is the dark horse of the Middle East. Every so often it enters the headlines for one alarming reason or another—links with al-Qaeda, kidnapped Westerners, explosive population growth—then sinks into obscurity again. But, as Victoria Clark argues in this riveting book, we ignore Yemen at our peril. The poorest state in the Arab world, it is still dominated by its tribal make-up and has become a perfect breeding ground for insurgent and terrorist movements. Victoria Clark returns to the country where she was born to discover a perilously fragile state that deserves more of our understanding and attention. On a series of visits to Yemen between 2004 and 2009, she meets politicians, influential tribesmen, oil workers and jihadists as well as ordinary Yemenis. Untangling Yemen’s history before examining the country’s role in both al-Qaeda and the wider jihadist movement today, Clark presents a lively, clear and up-to-date account of a little-known state whose chronic instability is increasingly engaging the general reader.

Islam, Science, and the Challenge of History Ahmad Dallal In this wide-ranging and masterful work, Ahmad Dallal examines the significance of scientific knowledge and situates the culture of science in relation to other cultural forces in Muslim societies. He traces the ways in which the realms of scientific knowledge and religious authority were delineated historically. For example, the emergence of new mathematical methods revealed that many mosques built in the early period of Islamic expansion were misaligned relative to the Ka‘ba in Mecca; this misalignment was critical because Muslims must face Mecca during their five daily prayers. The realisation of a discrepancy between tradition and science often led to demolition and rebuilding and, most important, to questioning whether scientific knowledge should take precedence over religious authority in a matter where their realms clearly overlap. Dallal frames his inquiry around three concerns: What cultural forces provided the conditions for debate over the primacy of religion or science? How did these debates emerge? And how were they sustained? His primary objectives are to study science in Muslim societies within its larger cultural context and to trace the epistemological distinctions between science and philosophy, on the one hand, and science and Ahmad Dallal is provost and professor religion, on the other. He looks at religious and scientific texts and of history, American University situates them in the contexts of religion, philosophy and science. of Beruit. Finally, Dallal describes the relationship negotiated in the classical (medieval) period between the religious, scientific and philosophical systems of knowledge that is central to the Islamic scientific tradition and shows how this relationship has changed radically in modern times.

Drawing on interviews with many of the main players, the Africa editor of The Economist gives an absorbing account of Sudan’s descent into civil war and failure over the past fifty Child soldiers of the Sudanese Liberation Army, Darfur, April 2005 (Getty Images). years

Sudan Darfur, Islamism and the World Richard Cockett Over the last two decades, the situation in Africa’s largest country, Sudan, has progressively deteriorated: the country is in second position on the Failed States Index; a war in Darfur has claimed hundreds of thousands of deaths; President Bashir has been indicted by the International Criminal Court; a forthcoming referendum on independence for Southern Sudan threatens to split the country violently apart. In this fascinating and immensely readable book the Africa editor of The Economist gives an absorbing account of Sudan’s descent into failure and what some have called genocide. Drawing on interviews with many of the main players, Richard Cockett explains how and why Sudan has disintegrated, looking in particular at the country’s complex relationship with the wider world. He shows how the U.S. and Britain were initially complicit in Darfur—but also how a broad coalition of human-rights activists, right-wing Christians and opponents of slavery succeeded in bringing the issue to prominence in the U.S. and creating an impetus for change at the highest level.

Dr Richard Cockett has been Africa Editor of The Economist since 2005. He was previously a senior lecturer in politics and history at the University of London.

12 Current Affairs Vietnam Rising Dragon Bill Hayton The eyes of the West have recently been trained on China and India, but Vietnam is rising fast among its Asian peers. A breathtaking period of social change has seen foreign investment bringing capitalism flooding into its nominally communist society, booming cities swallowing up smaller villages, and the lure of modern living tugging at the traditional networks of family and community. Yet beneath these developments lurks an authoritarian political system that complicates the nation’s apparent renaissance. In this work, experienced journalist Bill Hayton looks at the costs of change in Vietnam and questions whether this rising Asian power is really heading towards capitalism and democracy. Based on vivid eyewitness accounts and case studies, Hayton’s book addresses a variety of issues in today’s Vietnam, including shifts in international relations, the growth of civil society, economic developments and challenges, and the nation’s nascent democracy movement as well as its notorious internal security. His analysis of Vietnam’s ‘police state’, and its Bill Hayton is a reporter and producer systematic mechanisms of social control is fresh and particularly imperative with BBC News who covered Vietnam when viewed alongside his portraits of urban and street life, cultural as the BBC’s correspondent during legacies, religion, the media and the arts.

Dubai Gilded Cage Syed Ali In less than two decades, Dubai has transformed itself from an obscure Gulf emirate into a global centre for business, tourism and luxury living. It is a fascinating case study in light-speed urban development, hyper-consumerism, massive immigration and vertiginous inequality. Its rulers have succeeded in making Dubai into a worldwide brand, publicising its astonishing hotels and leisure opportunities while at the same time successfully downplaying its complex policies towards guest workers and suppression of dissent. In this enormously readable book, Syed Ali delves beneath the dazzling surface to analyse how—and at what cost—Dubai has achieved such success. Ali brings alive a society rigidly divided between expatriate Westerners living self-indulgent lifestyles on short-term work visas, native Emiratis who are largely passive observers and beneficiaries of what Dubai has become, and workers from the developing world who provide the manual labour and domestic service needed to keep the emirate running, often at great personal cost.

Language 13 Hocus Bogus Romain Gary writing as Émile Ajar Translated by David Bellos By the early 1970s, Romain Gary had established himself as one of France’s most popular and prolific novelists, journalists and memoirists. Feeling that he had been typecast as ‘Romain Gary’, however, he wrote his next novel under the pseudonym Émile Ajar. His second novel written as Ajar, Life Before Us, was an instant success, winning the Prix Goncourt and becoming the best-selling French novel of the twentieth century. The Prix Goncourt made people all the keener to identify the real ‘Émile Ajar’, and stressed by the furor he had created, Gary fled to Geneva. There, Pseudo, a hoax confession and one of the most alarmingly effective mystifications in all literature, was written at high speed. Writing under double cover, Gary simulated schizophrenia and paranoid delusions while pretending to be Paul Pawlovitch confessing to being Émile Ajar—the author of books Gary himself had written. In Pseudo, brilliantly translated by David Bellos as Hocus Bogus, the struggle to assert and deny authorship is part of a wider protest against One of the twentieth century’s most suffering and universal hypocrisy. Playing with novelistic categories and ingenious works, translated by Man authorial voice, this work is a powerful testimony to the power of Booker Prizewinner David Bellos language—to express, to amuse, to deceive and ultimately to speak difficult personal truths.

Romain Gary (1914–1980), was a French novelist, film director, World War II aviator and diplomat.

Why Translation Matters Edith Grossman Why Translation Matters argues for the cultural importance of translation, and for a more encompassing and nuanced appreciation of the translator’s role. As acclaimed translator Edith Grossman writes in her introduction, “My intention is to stimulate a new consideration of an area of literature that is too often ignored, misunderstood, or misrepresented.” For Grossman, translation has a transcendent importance: “Translation not only plays its important traditional role as the means that allows us access to literature originally written in one of the countless languages we cannot read, but it also represents a concrete literary presence with the crucial capacity to ease and make more meaningful our relationships to those with whom we may not have had a connection before. Translation always helps us to know, to see from a different angle, to attribute new value to what once may have been unfamiliar. As nations and as individuals, we have a critical need for that kind of understanding and insight. The alternative is unthinkable.” From an award-winning translator Throughout this volume, Grossman’s belief in the crucial significance a passionate testament to the power of the translator’s work, as well as her ability to explain the intellectual of her craft sphere that she inhabits as interpreter of the original text, inspires and provokes the reader to engage with translation in an entirely new way.

“Has any one painter ever before painted so many interesting and historical personages?”—Lord Selborne Philip de László, Baroness Rodolphe d’Erlanger (detail), 1900. Roy Fox Fine Art Photography © de Laszlo Foundation.

Philip de László Life and Art Duff Hart-Davis In collaboration with Caroline Corbeau Philip de László (1869–1937) was the pre-eminent portrait artist working in Britain between 1907 and 1937. He painted nearly 3,000 portraits, including kings and queens, four American presidents and countless members of the European nobility. There has been no biography of him since 1939, and this new account of both his life and his work draws on previously untapped material from the family archive of over 15,000 documents. It establishes the intrinsic importance of his art and re-positions him alongside his great contemporaries John Singer Sargent, Sir John Lavery and Giovanni Boldini. Born into a humble family in Budapest in 1869 he was ennobled by the Emperor Franz Joseph and from 1912 became known as Philip de László. From an early age he was driven by an unshakable vocation to succeed as an artist. He studied in Budapest, Munich and Paris, soon Duff Hart-Davies is the author or turning to portraiture as his vocation, and in 1894 received his first editor of over 40 books and the important commission from the royal family of Bulgaria, followed in biographer of Peter Fleming (the 1899 by the Emperor Franz Joseph and, in 1900, Pope Leo XIII, a elder brother of Ian), Raoul Millais portrait that won him international fame.

A colourful portrait of American London on the eve of Revolution

D. T. Egerton, The Unpleasant Rencontre.

When London Was Capital of America Julie Flavell Benjamin Franklin secretly loved London more than Philadelphia: it was simply the most exciting place to be in the British Empire. And in the decade before the outbreak of the American Revolution, thousands of his fellow colonists flocked to the Georgian city in its first big wave of American visitors. At the very point of political rupture, mother country and colonies were socially and culturally closer than ever before. In this first-ever portrait of eighteenth-century London as the capital of America, Julie Flavell recreates the famous city’s heyday as the centre of an empire that encompassed North America and the West Indies. The momentous years before independence saw more colonial Americans than ever in London’s streets: wealthy Southern plantation owners in quest of culture, slaves hoping for a chance of freedom, Yankee businessmen looking for opportunities in the city, even Ben Franklin seeking a second, more distinguished career. The stories of the “A wonderful evocation of the full colonials, no innocents abroad, vividly recreate a time when Americans panorama and panoply of life in saw London as their own and remind us of the complex, multiracial— eighteenth-century London.” at times even decadent—nature of America’s colonial British heritage. —Andrew O’Shaughnessy, Julie Flavell, the author of many popular and scholarly publications on author of An Empire Divided the relationship between colonial America and Britain including Britain and America Go to War, is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and an independent scholar.

20 Nature/Environment Colour of Paradise The Emerald in the Age of Gunpowder Empires Kris Lane Among the magnificent gems and jewels left behind by the great Islamic empires, emeralds stand out for their size and prominence. For the Mughals, Ottomans and Safavids green was—as it remains for all Muslims—the colour of Paradise, reserved for the Prophet Muhammad and his descendants. Tapping a wide range of sources, Kris Lane traces the complex web of global trading networks that funnelled emeralds from backland South America to populous Asian capitals between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. Lane reveals the bloody conquest wars and forced labour regimes that accompanied their production. It is a story of trade, but also of transformations—how members of profoundly different societies at opposite ends of the globe assigned value to a few thousand pounds of imperfectly shiny green rocks.

Spider Silk Evolution and 400 Million Years of Spinning, Waiting, Snagging, and Mating Leslie Brunetta and Catherine L. Craig Spiders, objects of eternal human fascination, are found in many places: on the ground, in the air, and even under water. Leslie Brunetta and Catherine Craig have teamed up to produce a substantive yet entertaining book for anyone who has ever wondered, as a spider rappelled out of reach on a line of silk, ‘How do they do that?’. The orb web, that iconic wheel-shaped web most of us associate with spiders, contains at least four different silk proteins, each performing a different function and all meshing together to create a fly-catching machine that has amazed and inspired humans through the ages. Brunetta and Craig tell the intriguing story of how spiders evolved over 400 million years to add new silks and new uses for silk to their survival ‘toolkit’ and, in the telling, take readers far beyond the orb. The authors describe the trials and triumphs of spiders as they use silk to negotiate an ever-changing environment, and they show how natural selection acts at the genetic level and as individuals struggle for survival. “This wonderful book cures arachnophobia for any lucky reader. Brunetta and Craig combine superb scholarship with engaging writing, providing a compelling introduction to evolution in action through the lens of spiders and their silks.”—Simon Levin, author of Fragile Dominion

Nature/Environment 21 Nature Crime How We’re Getting Conservation Wrong Rosaleen Duffy In this impressively researched, alarming book, Rosaleen Duffy investigates the world of nature conservation, arguing that the West’s attitude to endangered wildlife is shallow, self-contradictory and ultimately very damaging. Analysing the workings of the black-market wildlife industry, Duffy points out that illegal trading is often the direct result of Western consumer desires, from coltan for cellular phones to exotic meats sold to Londoners. She looks at the role of ecotourism, showing how Western travellers contribute—often unwittingly—to the destruction of natural environments. Most strikingly, she argues that the imperatives of Western-style conservation often result in serious injustice to local people, who are branded as ‘problems’ and subject to severe restrictions on their way of life and even extrajudicial killings.

The Lomborg Deception Setting the Record Straight About Global Warming Howard Friel • Foreword by Thomas E. Lovejoy In this major assessment of leading climate-change skeptic Bjørn Lomborg, Howard Friel meticulously deconstructs the Danish statistician’s claim that global warming is ‘no catastrophe’ by exposing the systematic misrepresentations and partial accounting that are at the core of climate skepticism. His detailed analysis serves not only as a guide to reading the global warming skeptics, but also as a model for assessing the state of climate science. With attention to the complexities of climate-related phenomena across a range of areas, The Lomborg Deception also offers readers an enlightening pole-to-pole review of some of today’s most urgent climate concerns. Friel’s book is the first to respond directly to Lomborg’s controversial research as published in The Skeptical Environmentalist (2001) and Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (2007). His close reading of Lomborg’s textual claims and supporting footnotes reveals a lengthy list of findings that will rock climate skeptics and their allies in the government and news media, demonstrating that the published peer-reviewed climate science, as assessed mainly by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has had it mostly right—even if somewhat conservatively right—all along. Friel’s able defense of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth against Lomborg’s repeated attacks is by itself worth an attentive reading.

One State, Two States Resolving the Israel/Palestine Conflict Benny Morris “What is so striking about Morris’s work as a historian is that it does not flatter anyone’s prejudices, least of all his own”, David Remnick remarked in a New Yorker article that coincided with the publication of Benny Morris’s 1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War. With the same commitment to objectivity that has consistently characterised his approach, Morris now turns his attention to the present-day legacy of the events of 1948 and the concrete options for the future of Palestine and Israel. The book scrutinises the history of the goals of the Palestinian national movement and the Zionist movement, then considers the various one- and two-state proposals made by different streams within the two movements. It also looks at the willingness or unwillingness of each movement to find an accommodation based on compromise. Morris assesses the viability and practicality of proposed solutions in the light of complicated and acrimonious realities. “passionately argued”—Adam LeBor, The Sunday Times “gloomy, concise, and spot-on.”—Commentary

History 27 History and the Enlightenment Hugh Trevor-Roper Arguably the leading British historian of his generation, Hugh Trevor- Roper (1914–2003) is most celebrated and admired as the author of essays. This volume brings together some of the most original and radical writings of his career—many hitherto inaccessible, one never before published, all demonstrating his piercing intellect, urbane wit and gift for elegant, vivid narrative. This collection focuses on the writing and understanding of history in the eighteenth century and on the great historians and the intellectual context that inspired or provoked their writings. It combines incisive discussion of such figures as Gibbon, Hume and Carlyle with broad sweeps of analysis and explication. Essays on the Scottish Enlightenment and the Romantic movement are balanced by intimate portraits of lesser-known historians whose significance Trevor-Roper took particular delight in revealing.

The late Hugh Trevor-Roper (Lord Dacre of Glanton) was Regius Professor of History at the University of Oxford. Among his numerous books are the best-selling The Hermit of Peking: The Hidden Life of Sir Edmund Backhouse.

The Book in the Renaissance Andrew Pettegree The dawn of print was a major turning point in the early modern world. It rescued ancient learning from obscurity, transformed knowledge of the natural and physical world, and brought the thrill of book ownership to the masses. But, as Andrew Pettegree reveals, the story of the post-Gutenberg world was rather more complicated than we have often come to believe. The Book in the Renaissance reconstructs the first 150 years of the world of print, exploring the complex web of religious, economic and cultural concerns surrounding the printed word. From its very beginnings, the printed book had to straddle financial and religious imperatives, as well as the very different requirements and constraints of the many countries who embraced it, and, as Pettegree argues, the process was far from a runaway success. More than ideas, the success or failure of books depended upon patrons and markets, precarious strategies and the thwarting of piracy, and the ebb and flow of popular demand. “An authoritative, innovative and Pettegree crafts an authoritative, lucid and truly pioneering work of succinct account of one of the most cultural history about a major development in the evolution of fundamental issues in Renaissance European society. history, the role of the printed book.” Andrew Pettegree is Head of the School of History at the University of —Henry Kamen St. Andrews and founding director of the St. Andrews Reformation Studies Institute.

28 History The Escorial Art and Power in the Renaissance Henry Kamen Few buildings have played so central a role in Spain’s history as the monastery-palace of San Lorenzo del Escorial. Colossal in size and imposing—even forbidding—in appearance, the Escorial has invited and defied description for four centuries. Part palace, part monastery, part mausoleum, it has also served as a shrine, a school, a repository for thousands of relics and one of the greatest libraries of its time. Constructed over the course of more than twenty years, the Escorial challenged and provoked, becoming for some a symbol of superstition and oppression, for others a ‘wonder of the world’. Now a World Heritage Site, it is visited by thousands of travellers every year. In this intriguing study, Henry Kamen looks at the circumstances that brought the young Philip II to commission construction of the Escorial in 1563. He explores Philip’s motivation, the influence of his travels, the meaning of the design, and its place in Spanish culture. It represents a highly engaging narrative of the high point of Spanish An acclaimed historian of Europe imperial dominance, in which contemporary preoccupations with art, explores one of the world’s most religion and power are analysed in the context of this remarkable iconic buildings and the monarch building. who created it Henry Kamen has been a professor at universities throughout the United Kingdom, the United States and Spain, and was until recently a professor of the Higher Council for Scientific Research, Barcelona.

The Legacy of the Second World War John Lukacs Sixty-five years after the conclusion of World War II, its consequences are still with us. In this probing book, the acclaimed historian John Lukacs raises perplexing questions about World War II that have yet to be explored. In a work that brilliantly argues for World War II’s central place in the history of the twentieth century, Lukacs applies his singular expertise toward addressing the war’s most persistent enigmas. The Second World War was Hitler’s war. Yet questions about Hitler’s thoughts and his decisions still remain. How did the divisions of Europe—and, consequently, the Cold War—come about? What were the true reasons for Werner Heisenberg’s mission to Niels Bohr in Copenhagen in September 1941? What led to ‘Rainbow Five’, the American decision to make the war against Germany an American priority even in the event of a two-ocean world war? Was the Cold War unavoidable? In this work, which offers both an accessible primer for students and challenging new theses for scholars, Lukacs addresses these and other riddles, revealing the ways in which the war and its legacy still touch our lives today. “Mr Lukacs is one of the more incisive historians of the twentieth century, and especially of the tangled events leading to World War II.” April 224 pp. 210x140mm. —Joseph C.

History 29 Caesar’s Druids Story of an Ancient Priesthood Miranda Aldhouse-Green Ancient chroniclers, including Julius Caesar himself, made the Druids and their sacred rituals infamous throughout the Western world. But in fact, as Miranda Aldhouse-Green shows in this fascinating book, the Druids’ day-to-day lives were far less lurid and much more significant. Exploring the various roles that Druids played in British and Gallic society during the first centuries B.C. and A.D.—not just as priests but as judges, healers, scientists and power brokers—Aldhouse-Green argues that they were a highly complex, intellectual and sophisticated group whose influence transcended religion and reached into the realms of secular power and politics. With deep analysis, fresh interpretations and critical discussions, she gives the Druids a voice that resonates in our own time. “If any book can succeed in getting close to the reality of the ancient Druids, it must be this one. The author deploys for the task her full tremendous resources as a scholar: expertise in ancient religious culture, a firm grasp of anthropological parallels, and a deeply humane and perceptive imaginative sympathy.” —Ronald Hutton, author of Blood and Mistletoe “With Caesar’s Druids, Miranda Aldhouse-Green supersedes every other volume on this elusive and nettlesome subject.” —James MacKillop, author of Dictionary of Celtic Mythology

Christians and Pagans The Conversion of Britain from Alban to Bede Malcolm Lambert Christians and Pagans offers a comprehensive and highly readable account of the coming of Christianity to Britain, its coexistence or conflict with paganism, and its impact on the lives of both indigenous islanders and invading Anglo-Saxons. The Christianity of Roman Britain, so often treated in isolation, is here deftly integrated with the history of the British churches of the Celtic world, with Ireland, Iona and Pictland. Combining chronicle and literary evidence with the fruits of the latest archaeological research, Malcolm Lambert illuminates the ways in which the conversion process changed the hearts and minds of early Britain.

Malcolm Lambert taught history at the universities of Bristol and Reading, and is the author of Franciscan Poverty, Medieval Heresy and The Cathars.

History 31 Image Wars Promoting Kings and Commonwealths in England, 1603–1660 Kevin Sharpe Spin and photo opportunities may appear to have emerged onto the political scene only recently, but in fact image and its manipulation have always been vital to the authority of rulers. This book, the second in Kevin Sharpe’s trilogy exploring image, power and communication in early modern England, examines its importance during the turbulent seventeenth century. From the coronation of James I to the end of Cromwell’s protectorate, Sharpe considers how royalists and parliamentarians—often using the same vocabularies—sought to manage their public image through words, pictures and performances in order to win support and secure and enhance their authority.

The Warrior Generals Winning the British Civil Wars Malcolm Wanklyn In this bold history of the men who directed and determined the outcome of the mid-seventeenth-century British wars—from Cromwell, Fairfax and Essex to many more lesser-known figures— military historian Malcolm Wanklyn offers the first assessment of leadership and the importance of command in the civil wars. Wanklyn examines how the generals prepared for, fought in and followed up a battle, and he provides an incisive appraisal of the performance of individual commanders set against their peers and across the period. “Malcolm Wanklyn has dug deeply into the manuscript sources, interrogating the various memoirs of the civil war generals with admirable acuity, and he furnishes this fluent account with some startling conclusions.”—Ian Gentles, author of The English Revolution and the Wars in the Three Kingdoms, 1638–1652

History 33 Stepping-Stones A Journey through the Ice Age Caves of the Dordogne Christine Desdemaines-Hugon • Foreword by Ian Tattersall The cave art of France’s Dordogne region is world-famous for the mythology and beauty of its remarkable drawings and paintings. These ancient images of lively bison, horses, and mammoths, as well as symbols of all kinds, are fascinating touchstones in the development of human culture, demonstrating how far humankind has come and reminding us of the ties that bind us across the ages. Over more than twenty-five years of teaching and research, Christine Desdemaines-Hugon has become an unrivalled expert in the cave art and artists of the Dordogne region. In her new book she combines her expertise in both art and archaeology to convey an intimate understanding of the ‘cave experience’. Her keen insights communicate not only the incomparable artistic value of these works but also the near-spiritual impact of viewing them for oneself. Focusing on five fascinating sites, including the famed Font de Gaume and others that still remain open to the public, Stepping-Stones reveals striking similarities between art forms of the Paleolithic and works of modern artists and gives us a unique pathway toward understanding the culture of the Dordogne Paleolithic peoples and how it still touches our lives today.

A new examination of a fascinating group of paintings from pioneering mid-century artist Eva Hesse

Eva Hesse Spectres 1960 Edited by E. Luanne McKinnon With contributions by Elisabeth Bronfen, Louise S. Milne, Helen A. Molesworth and E.

Contrary to existing scholarship, which suggests 1 September – 30 November 2010 that these works represent a form of self-deprecation, this book seeks to University of New Mexico Art Museum, consider these ‘spectre’ paintings as manifestations of a private, haunted Albuquerque, 1 January – 3 April 2011 interiority in the context of the artist’s burgeoning maturity. The paintings in the spectre campaign comprise two distinct categories. The first, a selection of small-scale oil on masonite paintings, depicts two or three loosely rendered figures positioned in vacant pictorial spaces upon small-format canvases or boards. These gaunt forms portray an apparent disconnection between one body and another; and yet, the pictorial drama of the works would be incomplete without the presence of each figure. The second group of paintings imbues a more perplexing psychological state, as characters alternately take on the forms of alien- like creatures or as close resemblances to the artist herself.

An ambitious book about a way of building that for centuries dominated the making of monumental architecture—yet is now lost North sidewall of the duomo, Florence.

Building-in-Time from Giotto to Alberti and Modern Oblivion Marvin Trachtenberg In the pre-modern age in Europe, the architect built not merely with imagination, bricks and mortar, but with time, using vast quantities of duration as the means to erect monumental buildings that otherwise would have been impossible to achieve. Virtually all the great cathedrals of France and the rest of Europe were built by this deliberate practice, here given the name ‘Building-in-Time’. It places an entirely new light on the major works of pre-modern Italy, from the Pisa cathedral group to the cathedrals of Milan, Venice and Siena, and from the monuments of fourteenth-century Florence to the new St Peter’s. Even as this temporal regime was flourishing, the fifteenth-century Italian architect Leon Battista Alberti proposed a new one for architecture, in which time would ideally be excluded from the making Marvin Trachtenberg is Edith Kitzmiller of architecture (‘Building-outside-Time’).

The Surreal House Edited by Jane Alison Exhibition Through a unique blend of art, film and architecture, The Surreal House Barbican Art Gallery, presents the individual dwelling as a place of mystery and wonder. 10 June – 17 September 2010 Fusing house and dream, it probes the relationship between interior and shell, object and space; and it elaborates ‘the marvellous’ and ‘compulsive beauty’ as espoused by André Breton. The haunted house, the cabinet of curiosities, the ruined castle, the cage, the cave, the labyrinth, the bell jar and the womb are among the uniquely surreal habitats explored.

Jane Alison is Senior Curator at Shaped by the irrational and the subversive, the flip side of the modernist Barbican Art Gallery. paradigm of the functional, rational dwelling, The Surreal House is ripe for discovery. Mirroring the surrealist love of poetic juxtaposition, the project brings together works by artists such as Edward Hopper, Marcel Duchamp, Giorgio de Chirico, Man Ray, Max Ernst, René Magritte, Joseph Cornell and Salvador Dalí. A surreal legacy is to be found in the interiors of little-known Italian architect and designer, Carlo Mollino; Frederick Kiesler’s model for The Endless House, 1957–59; sculptures by Louise Bourgeois and Rebecca Horn; and installations by Edward Kienholz and Ilya Kabakov. Contemporary Architecture is represented by the work of Rem Koolhaas and Diller & Scofidio among others. A manifesto for a poetic reading of the house, The Surreal House reflects on the unquestionable importance of the dwelling, the cradle of our being, in the imaginative realm.

38 Art The Print in Early Modern England An Historical Oversight Malcolm Jones This book provides an iconographic survey of the single-sheet prints produced in Britain during the early modern era and brings to light some very recent discoveries. This large body of material is treated thematically, and within each theme, chronologically. Chapters are devoted to portents and prodigies, the formal moralities and doctrines of Christianity, the sects of Christianity—and the often vicious satire of the Catholic confession (but also of Protestant non-conformists)— visual satire of foreigners and ‘others’, domestic political issues— principally, the English Civil War—social criticism and gender roles, marriage and sex, as well as numerical series and miscellaneous visual tricks, puzzles and jokes. The concluding chapter considers the significance of this wealth of visual material for the cultural history of Malcolm Jones is Senior Lecturer, England in the early modern era. Department of English Language and Linguistics, University of Sheffield. Enlarging the iconographic repertoire of the period, the book concludes that England was not as artistically insular as often thought, and that the English had access to a wide range of iconography. Tracing the European sources of many of these prints leads to the surprising recognition of the influence of the German print repertoire, to an April extent that demands a re-appraisal of cultural relations between 400 pp. 285x245mm.

Ford Madox Brown A Catalogue Raisonné 2 volumes Mary Bennett Ford Madox Brown (1821–1893) is known predominantly for his close association, from 1848, with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and for his masterpiece, The Last of England (1852–5), with its poignant imagery of a young emigrant couple taking their last sight of home—portraits of the artist himself and his wife. This fully illustrated catalogue provides the first complete coverage of all of Madox Brown’s work. Madox Brown’s early works were admired by the young Dante Gabriel Rossetti, through whom he came into contact with the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This association was to confirm his own interests and experiments in out-door light effects and led to the glowing palette of his great paintings of the 1850s—Work, An English Mary Bennett was Keeper of British Art Autumn Afternoon and The Last of England.

40 Art Becoming Venetian Immigrants and the Arts in Early Modern Venice Blake de Maria Few, if any, early modern European cities boasted a population as racially, ethnically and religiously diverse as Renaissance Venice, from German merchants living in the Fondaco dei Tedeschi to the Jewish inhabitants of the Ghetto. This innovative and fascinating book focuses on the wealthy elite of that immigrant population. From monumental palaces to pictorial cycles, Blake de Maria examines the artistic patronage commissioned by and associated with rich immigrant merchants who relocated to Venice with the aim of becoming Venetian cittadini, or citizens. Situated between the patriciate and popular orders, cittadini occupied the middle-tier of Venice’s tripartite social hierarchy. Unlike the nobility, the citizenry was not a closed caste, and foreign individuals not fortunate enough to be born in Venice could become naturalised citizens provided Blake de Maria is Assistant Professor they met certain requirements.

In and Out of the Marital Bed Seeing Sex in Renaissance Europe Diane Wolfthal This book explores images whose sexual content has all too often been either ignored or denied. Each chapter is devoted to a place that artists associated with sexual activity or desire: the bed, the dressing area of the home, the window and doorway, the bath and the street. By examining both canonical works, such as Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait and Petrus Christus’ Goldsmith’s Shop and long-neglected objects, such as combs, badges and bathhouse murals, and by investigating a wide range of subjects—same-sex desire, adultery, marriage, courtship and prostitution—Diane Wolfthal demonstrates how illicit forms of sexuality were linked to the ‘chaste sexuality’ of marriage. Wolfthal shows also how both church and state attempted to regulate sexual conduct; she examines not only those sources that reinforced this way of thinking, but also those that resisted or subverted it. Revealing the cracks in the ideological edifice, she demonstrates that Diane Wolfthal is David and Caroline the insistence that sexual intercourse should be confined to marriage, Minter Chair in the Humanities and performed in a particular manner and reserved for the purpose of Professor of Art History at Rice University. procreation was subverted and undermined both in the visual culture of the period and in reality.

Art 41 Empire Without End Antiquities Collections in Renaissance Rome c.1350–1527 Kathleen Wren Christian In the early fifteenth century, when Romans discovered ancient marble sculptures and inscriptions in the ruins, they often melted them into mortar. A hundred years later, however, antique marbles had assumed their familiar role as works of art displayed in private collections. Many of these collections, especially the Vatican Belvedere, are well known to art historians and archaeologists. Yet discussions of antiquities collecting in Rome too often begin with the Belvedere—that is, only after it was a widespread practice. In this important book, the author steps back to examine the ‘long’ fifteenth century, a critical period in the history of antiquities collecting that has received scant attention. Kathleen Wren Christian examines shifts in the response of artists and writers to spectacular archaeological discoveries and the new role of collecting antiquities in the public life of Roman elites.

Painting for Profit The Economic Lives of Seventeenth-Century Italian Painters Richard E. Spear and Philip Sohm With contributions by Renata Ago, Elena Fumagalli, Richard Goldthwaite, Christopher Marshall and Raffaella Morselli How did economic conditions influence painters in seventeenth- century Italy? How much did they earn? What is known about their socio-economic status and their aspirations? How did they maximize profits? Did they adjust their prices in response to market pressures, to the costs of production, and to the rise and fall of their reputations? Did prices vary with time and place? In this highly original book, five leading art historians team up with two distinguished economic and social historians to investigate the financial worlds of painters in Baroque Italy. Exploring the many variables that determined the prices asked or received by painters— including the status of their patrons, the size of works and time spent making them, their subject matter, and their number of figures—the authors offer major insights into the social lives, psychological disposition, and economic circumstances of a wide range of major and minor artists.

In this groundbreaking study, noted Degas scholar Richard Kendall and Picasso expert Elizabeth Cowling present well- documented instances of Picasso’s direct responses to Degas’s work, as well as more conceptual and challenging affinities between their oeuvres. Richly illustrated essays explore the artists’ parallel interests in modern urban life, ballet dancers, activities such as bathing and combing the hair, photography and the challenges of sculpture.

It was a sensation when exhibited at the 1834 Paris Salon, and was widely reproduced in prints. However, by the time the painting was presented to the nation in 1902, Delaroche had fallen out of favour and this work was placed in storage. In fact, The Execution of Lady Jane Grey was believed to have been destroyed in the Tate flood of 1928 until its chance rediscovery and Stephen Bann, CBE, FBA, is Professor of subsequent restoration in 1974–5.

46 Art American Glamour and the Evolution of Modern Architecture Alice T. Friedman The sleek lines and gleaming facades of the architecture of the late 1940s and 1950s reflect a culture fascinated by the promise of the Jet Age. Buildings like Eero Saarinen’s TWA Terminal at JFK Airport and Philip Johnson’s Four Seasons Restaurant retain a thrilling allure, seeming to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. In this work, Alice Friedman draws on a vast range of sources to argue that the aesthetics of mid-century modern architecture reflect an increasing fascination with ‘glamour’, a term widely used in those years to characterise objects, people and experiences as luxurious, expressive and even magical. Featuring assessments of architectural examples ranging from Mies van der Rohe’s monolithic Seagram Building to Elvis Presley’s sprawling Graceland estate, as well as vintage photographs, advertisements and posters, Friedman argues that new audiences and client groups with tastes rooted in popular entertainment made their presence felt in the cultural marketplace during the postwar period. The author suggests that American and European architecture and design increasingly reflected the values of a burgeoning consumer society, including a fundamental confidence in the power of material objects to transform the identity and status of those who owned them.

The American Department Store Transformed, 1920–1960 Richard Longstreth After attaining classic stature with palaces erected in the early twentieth century, the American department store continued to evolve in ways that were influenced by changes in business practices, shopping patterns, design approaches and urban structure. This masterful and innovative history of a celebrated building type focuses on many of the nation’s greatest retail companies—Marshall Fields, Lord and Taylor, Gimbel’s, Wanamaker’s and Bullock’s, among others—and the role they played in defining America’s cities. Author Richard Longstreth traces the development and evolution of department stores from local, urban institutions to suburban entities in the nation’s sixty largest cities, showing how the stores underwent changes to adapt to dramatic economic and urban developments, including the decentralisation from metropolitan areas, increased popularity of the automobile, and challenges from retail competitors on a national level. Extensively illustrated, this fascinating book offers a fundamental understanding of the transformation of high streets across America.

Ar 47 Mark Bradford You’re Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You) Christopher Bedford With contributions by Hilton Als, Carol Eliel, Richard Shiff, Katy Siegel, Robert Storr and Hamza Walker Mark Bradford is best known for dazzling large-scale abstract collages that incisively examine class, race and the gender-based economies that structure urban society in the United States. A recipient of a 2009 MacArthur Foundation Award (nicknamed the ‘genius grants’), Bradford gathers found and salvaged materials from the area surrounding his studio in Leimert Park, L.A., engaging in an intricate artistic process that involves both creation and destruction. His complex, fractured works address pressing political issues and the media’s influence on contemporary society while cataloguing cultural change and the artist’s personal responses to societal conditions. The first major book on this leading African American artist, Mark Exhibition Bradford: You’re Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You) features essays by Wexner Center for the Arts, distinguished authors who investigate how Bradford deftly straddles the 7 May – 15 August 2010 line between social critique and formal innovation, playing the two off against one another to produce works of seduction and analysis. Topics include Bradford’s debt to abstract expressionism, his relationship to the largely unknown history of twentieth-century abstraction by African American artists, his work as a public artist, and his interest in June mid-century European collage and décollage practices. 256 pp. 279x241mm.

Houses range from early timber-framed dwellings to the splendours of Windsor Castle, at once England’s greatest fortress and finest royal palace, through Georgian, Victorian and Arts-and- Crafts mansions of exceptional richness. The county is a wonderful hunting ground for the Gothic Revival, including works by famous names such as Butterfield and G.E. Street. Its market towns retain much of their Georgian charm, while the prosperity of recent years has brought new waves of confident and innovative architecture.

Architecture as Icon

Perception and Representation of Architecture in Byzantine Art ^ Edited by Slobodan Curcic´ ´ and Evangelia Hadjitryphonos With contributions by Kathleen E. McVey and Helen G. Saradi Presenting the first formulation of the central subject, this volume challenges major assumptions long held by Western art historians and provides new ways of thinking about, looking at and understanding Byzantine art in its broadest geographic and chronological framework, from A.D. 300 to the early nineteenth century. Byzantine art abandoned classical ideals in favour of formulas that conveyed spiritual concepts through stylised physical forms. Scholarship dealing with Byzantine icons has previously been largely focused on depictions of holy figures, dismissing representations of architecture as irrelevant space-filling background. Architecture as Icon demonstrates that background representations of architecture are meaningful, active components of compositions, often as significant as the human figures.

The Mourners Tomb Sculpture from the Court of Burgundy Sophie Jugie During the late Middle Ages, the dukes of Burgundy––the wealthiest and most powerful aristocrats in northern Europe––commissioned sculptors of great renown to decorate their magnificent court in Dijon. This stunning book provides an in-depth study of the twin summits of the achievement of these artists––sculptures from the tombs of Philip the Bold (1342–1404) and his son, John the Fearless (1371–1419). These extraordinary marble and alabaster tombs serve as platforms for the ducal figures, who rest atop fully carved arcades. Within the spaces of the arcades, the artists carved individual monks in procession. Just over two feet high, each monk is a miniature embodiment of late medieval devotion. Shown in various states of mourning, they move in perpetual procession beneath the marble bodies of their rulers.

Art 49 Churches in Early Medieval Ireland Tomás Ó Carragáin This is the first book devoted to churches in Ireland from the arrival of Christianity in the fifth century to the early stages of the Romanesque around 1100, including those built to house treasures of the golden age of Irish art such as the Book of Kells and the Ardagh chalice. Tomás Ó Carragáin’s comprehensive survey of the surviving examples forms the basis for a far-reaching analysis of why these buildings looked as they did, and what they meant in the context of early Irish society. The most immediately striking feature of these buildings is their simplicity, the result not of ignorance of architecture elsewhere in Europe, but of an imperative to perpetuate a building form, derived largely from Romano-British and biblical exemplars, that had become associated with the saints who had christianised Ireland and founded its great ecclesiastical centres. In this book, the Irish architectural context of early medieval rituals is analysed for the first time. It also includes the most detailed analysis to date of the layout of the most important Irish ecclesiastical complexes, including Armagh, Clonmacnoise and Glendalough. Ó Carragáin argues that some of these monumental schemes were intended to recall distant sacred topographies, especially Jerusalem and Rome. He also identifies a clear political and ideological context for the first Romanesque churches in Ireland and shows that, to a considerable extent, the Irish Romanesque represents the May perpetuation of a long-established architectural tradition. 288 pp. 280x220mm. 180 b/w + 40 colour illus.

Nineteenth-Century Irish Sculpture Native Genius Reaffirmed Paula Murphy Paula Murphy, the leading expert on Irish sculpture, offers an extensive survey of the history of sculpture in Ireland in the nineteenth century, with particular emphasis on the large public works produced during the Victorian period. The works of such major figures as Patrick MacDowell, John Henry Foley, Thomas Kirk and Thomas Farrell are discussed—as well as works by a host of lesser-known sculptors. Lavishly illustrated, the book covers the work of many Irish sculptors who worked abroad, particularly in London, and the work of English sculptors, including John Flaxman, Francis Chantrey, E.H. Baily and Richard Westmacott, who worked in Ireland. Murphy makes extensive use of contemporary documentation, much of it from newspapers, to present the sculptors and their work in the religious and political context of their time.

Cochineal Red The Art History of a Color Elena Phipps From antiquity to the present day, colour has been embedded with cultural meaning. Associated with blood, fire, fertility and life force, the colour red has always been extremely difficult to achieve and thus highly prized. This book discusses the origin of the red colourant derived from the insect cochineal, its early use in Precolumbian ritual textiles from Mexico and Peru, and the spread of the American dyestuff through cultural interchange following the Spanish discovery and conquest of the New World in the sixteenth century. Drawing on examples from the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, it documents the use of this red-coloured treasure in several media and throughout the world.

Art 51 Picasso in The Metropolitan Museum of Art Edited and with an introduction by Gary Tinterow This landmark publication presents for the first time a comprehensive catalogue of the works by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) in the Metropolitan Museum. Comprising thirty-four paintings, fifty-nine drawings, a dozen sculptures and ceramics, and more than four hundred prints, the collection reflects the full breadth of the artist’s multi-sided genius as it asserted itself over the course of his long and influential career. Notable for its remarkable constellation of early figure paintings, which include the commanding At the Lapin Agile (1905) and the iconic portrait of Gertrude Stein (1906), the Museum’s collection also stands apart for its exceptional cache of drawings, which despite their importance and number, remains relatively little known. The key subjects that variously sustained Picasso’s interest—the pensive harlequins of his Blue and Rose periods, faceted tabletops of his cubist years, classicising bathers and dreaming nudes of the 1920s and 30s, and the rakish musketeers of his maturity—are amply represented by works, ranging in date from a dashing . 1901.

The Visual World of French Theory Narrative Figuration Sarah Wilson This book focuses on the remarkable series of encounters between the most prominent French philosophers of the 1960s and 1970s— Jean-Paul Sartre, Louis Althusser, Pierre Bourdieu, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Félix Guattari, Jean-François Lyotard, Jacques Derrida —and the artists of their times, most particularly the protagonists of the Narrative Figuration movement—Bernard Rancillac, Lucio Fanti, Gérard Fromanger, Jacques Monory, Valerio Adami.

54 Art Maurizio Cattelan Is There Life Before Death? Franklin Sirmans The subversive direct sculptures of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan (b. 1960) are acclaimed for their seemingly absurd juxtapositions and uncanny photorealism. Reflecting suspicions of religious and political authorities, these constructions serve as critiques of existing power structures, forcing the viewer to challenge their understanding of symbols, iconic and commonplace. This book features new works by Cattelan, as well as several of his large-scale pieces, all of which are considered in the context of the Menil’s remarkable holdings of contemporary art. To this end, we see how works by artists such as Lucio Fontana, Robert Morris, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly and Andy Warhol ‘converse’ with Cattelan’s. This is a rare opportunity to appreciate Cattelan’s works amid the backdrop of the twentieth century.

Time Out of Joint Recall and Evocation in Recent Art Edited by Luigi Fassi, Lucy Gallun and Jakob Schillinger This engaging publication explores the artistic practices that employ evocation—the calling forth of past emotions, desires, frustrations and memories into the present—as a mode of connecting past and present. Featuring the work of emerging artists working in a variety of media, including Ronnie Bass, Kajsa Dahlberg, Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, Fikret Atay, Katerina Seda, Maryam Jafri and Johanna Billing, as well as films by Keren Cytter, Kevin Willmott and Jennifer Phang, the book challenges the conventional approach to history whereby the past is kept at a distance as historical fact. Ranging from playful to haunting, the artworks presented here rupture conventional notions of time to alter the dynamic of the present moment and enhance the possibilities for radical change on both a personal and sociopolitical scale. Luigi Fassi is Artistic Director of Ar/Ge Kunst, Bolzano, Italy. Lucy Gallun is the Whitney Lauder Curatorial Fellow at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia.

Art 55 A Landscape Manifesto Diana Balmori • Introduction by Michel Conan Diana Balmori, an innovative and influential landscape architect in the field of urban design, makes the case for landscape as an art in her timely and provocative manifesto. This book presents Balmori’s most complete vision yet of the theory and practice of urban landscape design as a discipline that combines the science of ecology with the formal aspects of aesthetics. Here, Balmori advocates a new formal language that reflects a philosophical shift in our traditional understanding of nature, along with ‘realignments’ in how humans relate to nature and live in our world today, changes that will shape the livable city of the future. A Landscape Manifesto includes discussions of urban ecology, environmental conservation and environmentally beneficial building techniques. Projects by Balmori Associates, which include the Memphis Riverfront and a port area newly reclaimed by the Guggenheim Bilbao, illuminate Balmori’s innovations. Featuring an introduction by Michel Conan, one of landscape architecture’s most respected historians, Balmori’s book heralds a significant development in the literature of landscape architecture. Diana Balmori is an internationally recognised landscape and urban designer. She teaches at the Yale University School of Architecture and the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.

Design and Truth Robert Grudin “If good design tells the truth”, writes Robert Grudin in this path-breaking book on esthetics and authority, “poor design tells a lie, a lie usually related . . . to the getting or abusing of power”. From the ornate cathedrals of Renaissance Europe to the much-maligned Ford Edsel of the late 1950s, all products of human design communicate much more than their mere intended functions. Design holds both psychological and moral power over us, and these forces may be manipulated, however subtly, to surprising effect. In an argument that touches upon subjects as seemingly unrelated as the Japanese tea ceremony, Italian mannerist painting and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello plantation, Grudin turns his attention to the role of design in our daily lives, focusing especially on how political and economic powers impress themselves on us through the built environment. Although architects and designers will find valuable insights here, Grudin’s intended audience is not exclusively the trained expert but all those who use designs and live within them every day. Robert Grudin is professor emeritus in the English Department at the University of Oregon. His Book: A Novel was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize in Literature.

Keywords in American Landscape Design Therese O’Malley With contributions by Elizabeth Kryder-Reid and Anne L. Helmreich This beautifully illustrated historical dictionary of landscape design vocabulary used in North America from the seventeenth to the mid-ninteenth centuries defines a selection of one hundred terms and concepts used in garden planning and landscape architecture. Ranging from alcove, arbor and arch to veranda, wilderness and wood, each term presents a wealth of documentation, textual sources and imagery. The broad geographic scope of the texts reveals patterns of regional usage, while the chronological range provides evidence of changing design practice and landscape vocabulary over time. Drawing upon a wealth of newly compiled documentation and accompanied by more than 1,000 images, this dictionary forms the most complete published reference to date on the history of American garden design, and reveals landscape history as integral to the study of American cultural history.

Art 57 Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art Edited by Adriana Proser With essays by Susan Beningson, Janice Leoshko, D. Max Moerman, Katherine Paul, Ian Reader, Robert Stoddard, Donald Swearer and Chün-fang Yü Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art employs sacred objects, textiles, sculpture, manuscripts and paintings to discuss the relationship between Buddhist pilgrimage and Asia’s artistic production. Accompanying an exhibition of approximately 90 extraordinary objects, many of which have never before been displayed publicly, this book addresses the process of the sacred journey in its entirety, including discussion of pilgrimage motivation, ritual preparation, and worship at the sacred destination. Exceptional and visually stunning examples of painted mandalas, reliquaries, prayer wheels and travelling shrines demonstrate that pilgrims and pilgrimage inspired centuries of artistic production and shaped the development of visual culture in Asia. Through insightful essays by a team of scholars, Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art illuminates artwork’s complex role in Buddhist culture, in which art serves as a form of memory and a bridge to the spiritual world as well as a functional tool with temporal purposes.

Rockefeller and Mrs. John Mr. Ladan Akbarnia and Francesca Leoni Light of the Sufis introduces the complex and multilayered topic of Sufism, or Islamic mysticism, by concentrating on its expression in the visual arts. Sufism became well established in the ninth to tenth centuries and reached its height in the twelfth to thirteenth centuries. From its inception, Sufism recognised the traditions and practices of other faiths and cultures with which it came into contact, adapting and incorporating elements of Greek philosophies, Christian mysticism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism and Buddhism. This diversity has been reflected not only in the words and the lives of celebrated Sufi mystics but also in some of the finest literature, music, performance and visual arts produced in the Islamic world. Lavishly illustrated, this exhibition catalogue presents exceptional works in various media from diverse areas of the Islamic world, including North Africa, Turkey, Iran and India, and dating from the ninth century to the present.

The Intelligence of Tradition in Rajput Court Painting Molly Emma Aitken The genre of Rajput painting flourished between the sixteenth and ninteenth centuries in the kingdoms that ruled what is now the Indian state of Rajasthan (place of rajas). Rajput paintings depicted the nobility and court spectacle as well as scenes from Krishna’s life, the Hindu epics and court poetry. Many Rajput kingdoms developed distinct styles, though they shared common conventions. This important book surveys the overall tradition of Indian Rajput painting, while developing new methods to ask unprecedented questions about meaning. Through a series of in-depth studies, Aitken shows how traditional formal devices served as vital components of narrative meaning, expressions of social unity and rich sources of intellectual play. Supported by beautiful full-colour illustrations of rare and often inaccessible paintings, Aitken’s study spans five centuries, providing a comprehensive and innovative look at the Rajasthan’s court painting traditions and their continued relevance to contemporary art.

Music 61 French Opera A Short History Vincent Giroud French opera is second only to Italian opera in the length, breadth and diversity of its history. Yet most people, if asked to come up with titles, would mention only a handful—Carmen, Faust, Pelleas et Melisande, Samson et Dalila—a small list for an operatic tradition that began in the seventeenth century and is still very much alive. This book provides a full, single-volume account of opera in France from its origins to the present day. Vincent Giroud looks at the leading composers, from Lully to Messiaen and beyond; at the development of French operatic form and style; at performance, performers and audience; and at the impact of French opera beyond France’s borders. Lovers of opera will find this an ideal companion to their appreciation of the form. “Eminently readable . . . readers will delight in new or forgotten names and will eagerly seek out renewed performances, for Giroud shows a rare ability to conjure up the particular musical qualities and eccentricities of composers over a wide range of talent”—Margaret M. McGowan FBA, University of Sussex

Vincent Giroud was formerly Curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts at the Beinecke Library, Yale University. He is currently a professor at the University of Franche-Comté. His recent publications include William Walton, Composer; St Petersburg: A Portrait of a Great City; The World of Witold Gombrowicz; and Picasso and Gertrude Stein.

No Such Thing as Silence John Cage’s 4'33" Kyle Gann First performed at the midpoint of the twentieth century, John Cage’s 4'33", a composition conceived of without a single musical note, is among the most celebrated and ballyhooed cultural gestures in the history of modern music. A meditation on the act of listening and the nature of performance, Cage’s controversial piece became the iconic statement of the meaning of silence in art and is a landmark work of American music. In this book, Kyle Gann, a leading music critic, explains 4'33" as a unique moment in American culture and musical composition. Finding resemblances and resonances of 4'33" in artworks as wide- ranging as the paintings of the Hudson River School and the music of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, he provides much-needed cultural context for this fundamentally challenging and often misunderstood piece. Gann also explores Cage’s craft, describing in illuminating detail the musical, philosophical and even environmental influences that informed this groundbreaking piece of music. Having performed 4'33" himself and as a composer in his own right, Gann offers the reader both an expert’s analysis and a highly personal interpretation of Cage’s most divisive work. “With composerly imagination and scholarly intelligence, Kyle Gann proves that 4'33" was not an offhand provocation, but Cage’s most important piece and the key that unlocks the composer’s entire output.”—Robert Carl, author of Terry Riley’s In C “Music is sound without meaning and Cage’s 4'33" is no sound without meaning. Gann’s imaginative and thorough scholarship offers us insightful ways to understand Cage’s magnificent meaninglessness.”—Larry Polansky, Dartmouth University

Literature 63 Ralph Ellison in Progress From Invisible Man to Three Days Before the Shooting . . . Adam Bradley Ralph Ellison may be the preeminent African-American author of the twentieth century, though he published only one novel, 1952’s Invisible Man. He enjoyed a highly successful career in American letters, publishing two collections of essays, teaching at several colleges and universities, and writing dozens of pieces for newspapers and magazines, yet Ellison never published the second novel he had been composing for more than forty years. A 1967 fire that destroyed some of his work accounts for only a small part of the novel’s fate; the rest is revealed in the thousands of pages he left behind after his death in 1994, many of them collected for the first time in the recently published Three Days Before the Shooting . . . . Ralph Ellison in Progress is the first book to survey the expansive geography of Ellison’s unfinished novel while re-imaging the more familiar, but often misunderstood, territory of Invisible Man. It works from the premise that understanding Ellison’s process of composition imparts important truths not only about the author himself but about race, writing and American identity. Drawing on thousands of pages of Ellison’s journals, typescripts, computer drafts and handwritten notes, many never before studied, Adam Bradley argues for a shift in scholarly emphasis that moves a greater share of the weight of Ellison’s literary legacy to the last forty years of his life and to the novel he left forever in progress. Adam Bradley is Associate Professor of English at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He is the coeditor of Ralph Ellison’s unfinished second novel, Three Days Before the Shooting . . . and the author of Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop. June 256 pp. 210x140mm.

Here in Our Auschwitz and Other Stories The Fully Restored Text Tadeusz Borowski • Translated by Madeline G. Levine Tadeusz Borowski was a talented young poet when he was arrested and deported to Auschwitz in 1943. He emerged at the end of the Second World War to become one of the most influential writer-witnesses to the Nazi concentration camp system. This book offers the first authoritative translation of Borowski’s prose fiction, including numerous stories that have never appeared in English before. These are the chilling writings of a man who has experienced horrifying brutality and sees no possibility for human redemption. “Tadeusz Borowski joins the company of such artists as Elie Wiesel and André Schwarz-Bart. Like them, he paints a picture of the horror and madness that ruled the concentration camps, so brilliantly that the immediacy of the experience is almost too much to bear.”—New York Times Book Review

Tadeusz Borowski (1922–1951), a Polish poet, short story writer and journalist, was arrested as a political prisoner and deported to German concentration camps. He survived, but a few years later committed suicide at the age of 29. Madeline G. Levine is Kenan Professor of Slavic Literatures, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

Treason Poems by Hédi Kaddour Translated by Marilyn Hacker Hédi Kaddour’s poetry arises from observation, from situations both ordinary and emblematic—of contemporary life, of human stubbornness, human invention or human cruelty, of the way the past invisibly inflects and inflicts the present. With Treason, the award-winning poet and translator Marilyn Hacker presents an English-speaking audience with the first selected volume of his work. The poetries of several languages and literary traditions are lively and constant presences in the work of Hédi Kaddour, a Parisian as well as a Germanist and an Arabist. A walker’s, a watcher’s and a listener’s poems, his sonnet-shaped vignettes often include a line or two of dialogue that turns his observations and each poem itself into a kind of miniature theatre piece. Favouring compact, classical models over long verse forms, Kaddour questions the structures of syntax and the limits of poetic form, combining elements of both international modernism and postmodernism with great sophistication. Capturing Kaddour’s full range of diction, as well as his speed, momentum and tone, Marilyn Hacker’s translations brilliantly bring these poems alive. Marilyn Hacker is an award-winning poet, translator and critic. Her translations of Kaddour’s poetry have appeared in the New Yorker, the Paris Review and Poetry. Hédi Kaddour is the author of five books of poems, two novels and a book of nonfiction.

Religion 67 Blake and the Bible Christopher Rowland All those beguiled by the work of William Blake recognise the importance of the Bible for his poetic genius, whether as an object of criticism, or an inspiration. This book, the first substantial study for sixty years, attempts to locate Blake within the broad spectrum of Christian biblical interpretation, orthodox, heterodox and radical. It explores the particular ways in which Blake engaged with the Bible and the distinctive interpretations that emerged, not least through the medium of images. Rowland considers Blake’s series of engravings on the Book of Job, and his only commentary on a biblical book, to illuminate the distinctive features of the poet’s exegesis. These include the priority given to the Spirit over the Letter; the critique of a theology which places supreme value on what is found in a book rather than attending to what Blake calls ‘the Word of God Universal’; the advocacy of a religion of divine immediacy rather than transcendence; and experience of suffering as the motor of theological and ethical change. This powerful and richly-illustrated work brings forty years of study to bear on one of the great interpreters of the Bible. Christopher Rowland is Dean Ireland Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford, and a specialist in the interpretation of the books of Ezekiel and Revelation.

The Christian Imagination Theology and the Origins of Race Willie James Jennings Why has Christianity, a religion premised upon neighbourly love, failed in its attempts to heal social divisions? In this ambitious and wide-ranging work, Willie James Jennings delves deep into the late medieval soil in which the modern Christian imagination grew, to reveal how Christianity’s highly refined process of socialisation has inadvertently created and maintained segregated societies. A probing study of the cultural fragmentation—social, spatial and racial—that took root in the Western mind, this book shows how Christianity has consistently forged Christian nations rather than encouraging genuine communion between disparate groups and individuals. Weaving together the stories of Zurara, the royal chronicler of Prince Henry, the Jesuit theologian Jose de Acosta, the famed Anglican Bishop John William Colenso and the former slave writer Olaudah Equiano, Jennings narrates a tale of loss, forgetfulness and missed opportunities for the transformation of Christian communities. Touching on issues of slavery, geography, Native American history, Jewish-Christian relations, literacy and translation, he brilliantly exposes how the loss of land and the supersessionist ideas behind the Christian missionary movement are both deeply implicated in the invention of race. Using his bold, creative and courageous critique to imagine a truly cosmopolitan citizenship that transcends geopolitical, nationalist, ethnic and racial boundaries, Jennings charts, with great vision, new ways of imagining ourselves, our communities and the landscapes we inhabit. Willie James Jennings is Associate Professor of Theology, Black Church and Cultural Studies at Duke Divinity School, where he previously served as academic dean. June 384 pp. 234x156mm. 2 b/w illus.

Sex and Religion in the Bible Calum Carmichael If we look to the Bible for historical accounts of ancient life, we make a profound error. So contends Calum Carmichael in this original and incisive reading of some of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament’s most famous narratives. Sifting through the imaginative layers of these texts with an uncanny sensitivity and a panoptic critical eye, he unearths patterns connecting disparate passages, providing fascinating insights into how ideas were expressed, received and transformed in the ancient Near East. Rather than attempting a historical reconstruction, Carmichael brilliantly reveals the profound creativity of the biblical authors. Ranging from Jacob’s encounter with Leah to the marriage at Cana to Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well, these readings demonstrate the remarkable subtlety and sophistication of the biblical views on marriage, sexuality, fertility, impurity, creation and love. In doing so, they also make a compelling case for the integral link between sexual morality and Israelite identity. Calum Carmichael is a professor of comparative literature and adjunct professor of law at Cornell University. March 224 pp. 234x156mm.
