Elizabethan Architecture Its Rise and Fall, 1540–1640 Mark Girouard Elizabethan and Jacobean architecture—not the friendly, unassuming architecture of the vernacular but the uniquely strange and exciting buildings put up by the great and powerful, ranging from huge houses to gem-like pavilions and lodges designed for feasting and hunting—is a phenomenon as remarkable as the literature which accompanied it, the literature of Shakespeare, Spenser, Sidney, Marlow, Jonson, Campion and others. In this beautiful and fascinating book, Girouard discusses social structure and the way of life behind it, the evolution of the house plan, the excitement of English patrons and craftsmen as they learnt about the classic Five Orders and the buildings of Ancient Rome, the Mark Girouard is the leading historian surprising wealth of architectural drawings which survive from the of Elizabethan and Jacobean period, the inroads of foreign craftsmen who brought new fashions in architecture.

2 Religion/Philosophy

One of our most influential literary critics challenges atheists such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens and argues that reason and faith are not mutually exclusive

Reason, Faith, and Revolution Reflections on the God Debate Terry Eagleton Terry Eagleton’s witty and polemical Reason, Faith, and Revolution is bound to cause a stir among scientists, theologians, people of faith and people of no faith, as well as general readers eager to understand the ‘God Debate’. On the one hand, Eagleton demolishes what he calls the ‘superstitious’ view of God held by most atheists and agnostics, and offers in its place a revolutionary account of the Christian Gospel. On the other hand, he launches a stinging assault on the betrayal of this revolution by institutional Christianity. There is little joy here, then, either for the anti-God brigade—Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens in particular—nor for many Terry Eagleton is Bailrigg Professor of conventional believers. Instead, Eagleton offers his own vibrant account English Literature at the University of of religion and politics in a book that ranges from the Holy Spirit to Lancaster and Professor of Cultural the recent history of the Middle East, from Thomas Aquinas to the Theory at the National University of Twin Towers.

History 3

A controversial reassessment of Mary Tudor’s efforts to eradicate Protestantism and restore Catholicism in mid- 16th-century England, written by a leading authority on the history of Christianity

Fires of Faith Catholic England under Mary Tudor Eamon Duffy The reign of Mary Tudor has been remembered as an era of sterile repression, when a reactionary monarch launched a doomed attempt to reimpose Catholicism on an unwilling nation. Above all, the burning alive of more than 280 men and women for their religious beliefs seared the rule of ‘Bloody Mary’ into the protestant imagination, as an alien aberration in the onward and upward march of the English-speaking peoples. In this controversial reassessment, a leading reformation historian argues that Mary’s regime was neither inept nor backward-looking. Led by the Queen’s cousin, Cardinal Reginald Pole, Mary’s church dramatically reversed the religious revolution imposed under the child king Edward VI. Inspired by the values of the European Counter-Reformation, the cardinal and the Queen reinstated the papacy and launched an effective propaganda campaign through pulpit and press.

On the tenth anniversary of the Euro, a look at its tumultuous history—and its future prospects

The Euro The Politics of the New Global Currency David Marsh This book is the first comprehensive political and economic account of the birth and development of the Euro. Today the Euro is the supranational currency for fifteen European countries and the world’s second largest reserve currency. David Marsh tells the story of the rivalries, intrigues and deal-making that brought about a currency for Europe, and he analyses the achievements and shortcomings of its first decade of existence. While the Euro represents a remarkable triumph of political will, great pressures are building on the single currency. Drawing on more than 100 interviews with leading figures associated with the Euro, and scores of secret documents from international archives, Marsh underscores the Euro’s importance for the global economy, in particular for the U.S. and British economic and political agendas. He concludes by looking at the ongoing financial crisis and its effects—which may shake the Euro David Marsh is chairman of London to its very foundations. and Oxford Capital Markets, a City of London-based corporate finance and investment company.

A bold analysis of the sources of the crisis in today’s Islamic world, by a writer at its heart

Main Souk of Damascus. © Lynsey Addario/Corbis.

The Crisis of Islamic Civilization Ali A. Allawi Islam as a religion is central to the lives of over a billion people, but its outer expression as a distinctive civilization has been undergoing a monumental crisis. Buffeted by powerful adverse currents, Islamic civilization today is a shadow of its former self. The most disturbing and possibly fatal of these currents—the imperial expansion of the West into Muslim lands and the blast of modernity that accompanied it—are now compounded by a third giant wave, globalization. These forces have increasingly tested Islam and Islamic civilization for validity, adaptability and the ability to hold on to the loyalty of Muslims, says Ali Allawi in his provocative new book. While the faith has proved resilient in the face of these challenges, other aspects of Islamic civilization have atrophied or died, Allawi contends, and Islamic civilization is now undergoing its last crisis. The book explores how Islamic civilization began to unravel under colonial rule, as its institutions, laws and economies were often Ali A.

6 History

Untangling the myths and legends of many centuries, this biography gives us the real Eleanor—tenacious, defiant and powerful Jean Baptiste Mauzaisse, Louis VII Taking the Banner at St. Denis, 1840. RMN/ArtResource, NY.

Eleanor of Aquitaine Queen of France, Queen of England Ralph V. Turner Eleanor of Aquitaine’s extraordinary life seems more likely to be found in the pages of fiction. Proud daughter of a distinguished French dynasty, she married the king of France, Louis VII, then the king of England, Henry II, and gave birth to two sons who rose to take the English throne—Richard the Lionheart and John. Renowned for her beauty, hungry for power, headstrong and unconventional, Eleanor travelled on crusades, acted as regent for Henry II and later for Richard, incited rebellion, endured a fifteen-year imprisonment, and as an elderly widow still wielded political power with energy and enthusiasm. This gripping biography is the definitive account of the most important queen of the Middle Ages. Ralph Turner, a leading historian of the 12th century, strips away the myths that have accumulated around Eleanor— the ‘black legend’ of her sexual appetite, for example—and challenges the accounts that relegate her to the shadows of the kings she married and Ralph V. Turner is emeritus professor bore. Turner focuses on a wealth of primary sources, including a collection of history, Florida State University. of Eleanor’s own documents not previously accessible to scholars, and He is the author of King John and portrays a woman who sought control of her own destiny in the face of The Reign of Richard Lionheart, forceful resistance. A queen of unparalleled appeal, Eleanor of Aquitaine among many other publications on European medieval history. retains her power to fascinate even 800 years after her death. “Eleanor’s remarkable career is done full justice in this study, which is readable, lively and convincing. It provides insights into many aspects of the 12th century as well as a radically new assessment of the queen herself. Many myths are exploded, and a thoroughly realistic picture April 304 pp. 234x156mm. 16 b/w illus. of a politically ambitious and independent-minded woman emerges.” ISBN 978-0-300-11911-4 £25.00* —Michael Prestwich, University of Durham Spring 2009 Catalogue:1 25/11/08 16:37 Page 7

History 7

A revealing new portrait of John Calvin that captures his human complexity and the 16th-century world in which he fought his personal and theological battles Massacre at Vassy, 1 March 1562. The Granger Collection, New York.

Calvin Bruce Gordon During the glory days of the French Renaissance, young John Calvin (1509–1564) experienced a profound conversion to the faith of the Reformation. For the rest of his days he lived out the implications of that transformation—as exile, inspired reformer and ultimately the dominant figure of the Protestant Reformation. Calvin’s vision of the Christian religion has inspired many volumes of analysis, but this engaging biography examines a remarkable life. Bruce Gordon presents Calvin as a human being, a man at once brilliant, arrogant, charismatic, unforgiving, generous and shrewd. The book explores with particular insight Calvin’s self-conscious view of himself as prophet and apostle for his age and his struggle to tame a sense of his own superiority, perceived by others as arrogance. Gordon looks at Calvin’s character, his maturing vision of God and humanity, his personal tragedies and failures, his extensive relationships with others, and the context within which he wrote and taught. What emerges is a man who devoted himself to the Church, inspiring and Bruce Gordon is professor of transforming the lives of others, especially those who suffered Reformation history, Yale Divinity persecution for their religious beliefs.

8 History

The discovery of a cache of thousands of letters and dozens of diaries brings to light the untold story of Mrs Tennant and her glittering social world Punch, 8 Nov 1879.

The Magnificent Mrs Tennant David Waller Gertrude Tennant’s life was remarkable for its length (1819–1918), but even more so for the influence she achieved as an unsurpassed London hostess. The salon she established when widowed in her early fifties attracted legions of celebrities, among them Gladstone and Disraeli, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Thomas Huxley, John Everett Millais, Henry James and Robert Browning. In her youth she had a relationship with Gustave Flaubert, and in her later years she became the redoubtable mother-in-law to the explorer Henry Morton Stanley. But as a woman in a male-dominated world, Mrs Tennant has been remembered mainly as a footnote in the lives of eminent men. This book recovers the lost life of Gertrude Tennant, drawing on a treasure-trove of recently discovered family papers—thousands of letters, including two dozen original letters from Flaubert to Gertrude, numerous diaries and many other unpublished documents relating to Stanley and other famous figures of the 19th and early-20th centuries. David Waller presents Gertrude Tennant’s life in colourful detail, placing her not only at the heart of a multi-generational, matriarchal David Waller, an author and family epic but also at the centre of European social, literary and management consultant, has written intellectual life for the best part of a century. two previous books and holds a postgraduate degree in Victorian “David Waller, in this richly rewarding picture of late Victorian Studies from Birkbeck College, society, creates a portrait of a woman with appeal and grace.” University of London. —Judith Flanders, author of Consuming Passions

Lived in London Blue Plaques and the Stories Behind Them Edited by Emily Cole • Foreword Stephen Fry This attractive and comprehensive book tells the stories behind 800 of London’s blue plaques. Arranged geographically—by borough and area—it is the first published guide for over half a century to be compiled with the aid of local government and English Heritage files. It features new research on the people and buildings commemorated, both of which are extraordinarily diverse. Over the course of its history, London has been home to figures as varied as Winston Churchill, Virginia Woolf, Mahatma Gandhi and Jimi Hendrix, all of whom were influenced by the houses and areas in which they lived. London’s blue plaques scheme, founded in 1866, is the oldest of its kind in the world, and has been imitated around the globe. Run successively by the (Royal) Society of Arts, the London County Council, the Greater London Council and, since 1986, English Heritage, it commemorates the link between notable figures of the past and the buildings in which they lived and worked. It is a uniquely successful means of connecting people and place, drawing out the Emily Cole is Head of the Blue human element of the historic environment, and has helped to save a Plaques Team, English Heritage. number of London’s buildings from demolition.

The stranger-than-fiction story of the Enlightenment visionaries who discovered the unexpected effects of inhaling nitrous oxide James Gillray, New Discoveries in Pneumaticks! Wellcome Library, London.

The Atmosphere of Heaven The Unnatural Experiments of Dr. Beddoes and his Sons of Genius Mike Jay At the Pneumatic Institution in Bristol, founded in the closing years of the 18th century, dramatic experiments with gases precipitated not only a revolution in scientific medicine but also in the history of ideas. Guided by the energy of maverick doctor Thomas Beddoes, the Institution was both laboratory and hospital—the first example of a modern medical research institution. But when its members discovered the mind-altering properties of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, their experiments devolved into a pioneering exploration of consciousness with far-reaching and unforeseen effects. This riveting book is the first to tell the story of Dr. Beddoes and the brilliant circle who surrounded him: Erasmus Darwin, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey, who supported his ideas; James Watt, who designed and built his laboratory; Thomas Wedgwood, who funded it; Mike Jay has written extensively on and his dazzling young chemistry assistant, Humphry Davy, who scientific and medical history and is a identified nitrous oxide and tested it on himself, with spectacular results. specialist in the study of drugs.

History 11 The Empire’s New Clothes A History of the Russian Fashion Industry, 1700–1917 Christine Ruane In 1701 Tsar Peter the Great decreed that all residents of Moscow must abandon their traditional dress and wear European fashion. Those who produced or sold Russian clothing would face ‘dreadful punishment’. Peter’s dress decree, part of his drive to make Russia more like Western Europe, had a profound impact on the history of Imperial Russia. This engrossing book explores the impact of Westernisation on Russia in the 18th and 19th centuries and presents a wealth of photographs of ordinary Russians in all their finery. Christine Ruane draws on memoirs, mail-order catalogues, fashion magazines and other period sources to demonstrate that Russia’s adoption of Western fashion had symbolic, economic and social ramifications and was inseparably linked to the development of capitalism, industrial production and new forms of communication. This book shows how the fashion industry became a forum through which Russians debated and formulated a new April national identity. 256 pp. 280x230mm. 70 b/w + 50 colour illus.

Florence 1900 The Quest for Arcadia Bernd Roeck Translated by Stewart Spencer By the end of the 19th century, Florence was a key destination for cultured travellers from Europe and America. Writers such as Wilde, Rilke and Mann, painters such as Degas and Klee, and, not least, the young art historian Aby Warburg and his wife, Mary, flocked to Florence to escape the encroachments of modern life at home and to revel in the city’s rich artistic and cultural past. This beguiling book fuses narrative and ideas to consider how the encounter between Modernism and Renaissance culture was experienced both by visitors to Florence and its inhabitants. Based on Aby Warburg’s letters, diaries and notebooks, on Italian and German archives and on conversations with E. H. Gombrich (director of the famous Institute Aby Warburg later founded), the book is an intimate guide to life in Florence and the theatres, restaurants, galleries and salons frequented by visiting cultural exiles.

A vivid new assessment of the pivotal two-day battle that altered the course of English and Scottish history Bronze aquamanile of a cavalry soldier. © The Trustees of the British Museum.

Bannockburn The Triumph of Robert the Bruce David Cornell Few battles resonate through British history as strongly as Bannockburn. On June 24, 1314, the Scots under the leadership of Robert the Bruce unexpectedly trounced the English, leaving thousands dead or wounded. The victory was one of Scotland’s greatest, the more so because the Scottish army was outnumbered by about three to one. The loss to the English, fighting under Edward II, was staggering. In this groundbreaking account of Bannockburn, David Cornell sets the iconic battle in its political and military context and focuses new attention on the roles of Robert and Edward in the events leading to the buildup of their armies. The author brings the two-day battle to life and reassesses both the crucial mêlée fought on the second day and the casualties suffered by the English. Filled with colourful detail and fresh insights, the book throws new light on the battle itself, the character of the English defeat, the effect of that defeat on the course of the Anglo-Scottish wars, and the powerful impact of the battle’s legacy on English and Scottish national identity.

History 13

A decisive account of the dramatic Gallipoli campaign of WWI, with a devastating assessment of its pointless losses Charles Wheeler, Charge of the 2nd Infantry Brigade at Krithia. Courtesy Australian War Memorial.

Gallipoli The End of the Myth Robin Prior The Gallipoli campaign of 1915–16 was an ill-fated allied attempt to shorten the war by eliminating Turkey, creating a Balkan alliance against the Central Powers and securing a sea route to Russia. A failure in all respects, the operation ended in disaster, and the Allied forces suffered some 390,000 casualties. This conclusive book assesses the many myths that have emerged about Gallipoli and provides definitive answers to questions that have lingered about the operation. Robin Prior, a renowned military historian, proceeds step by step through the campaign, dealing with naval, military and political matters and surveying the operations of all the armies involved: British, Anzac, French, Indian and Turkish. Relying substantially on original documents, including neglected war diaries and technical military sources, Prior evaluates the strategy, the commanders and the performance of soldiers on the ground. His conclusions are powerful and unsettling: the naval campaign was not ‘almost’ won, and the land action was not bedeviled by Robin Prior is visiting professorial fellow, ‘minor misfortunes’. Instead, the badly conceived Gallipoli campaign was University of Adelaide, and visiting doomed from the start.

Blood and Mistletoe The History of the Druids in Britain Ronald Hutton Crushed by the Romans in the first century A.D., the ancient Druids of Britain left almost no reliable evidence behind. Because of this, historian Ronald Hutton shows, succeeding British generations have been free to reimagine, reinterpret and reinvent the Druids. Hutton’s captivating book is the first to encompass two thousand years of Druid history and to explore the evolution of English, Scottish and Welsh attitudes towards the forever ambiguous figures of the ancient Celtic world. Druids have been remembered at different times as patriots, scientists, philosophers or priests; sometimes portrayed as corrupt, bloodthirsty or ignorant, they were also seen as fomenters of rebellion. Hutton charts how the Druids have been written in and out of history, archaeology, and the public consciousness for some 500 years, with particular focus on the romantic period, when Druids completely dominated notions of British prehistory. Sparkling with legends and images, filled with new Ronald Hutton is professor of history, perspectives on ancient and modern times, this book is a fascinating University of Bristol, and the author cultural study of Druids as catalysts in British history. of many books including, most recently, The Druids; Debates in “A magisterial and eminently readable account of the druids and how Stuart History; and Witches, Druids, they have been continually reinvented over the last three hundred and King Arthur: Studies in Paganism, years by visionaries, political radicals, angry academics and downright Myth, and Magic. fraudsters.

History 15

An intriguing account of the life and times of a family who captivated sixteenth-century Europe Agostino Carracci, Composition with Figures and Animals, 1599. Scala/Art Resource, NY.

The Marvelous Hairy Girls The Gonzales Sisters and Their Worlds Merry Wiesner-Hanks This book tells the extraordinary story of three 16th-century sisters who, along with their father and brothers, were afflicted with an extremely rare genetic condition that made them unusually hairy. Amazingly, the Gonzales sisters were not mocked or shunned, but were welcomed in the courts of Europe, spending much of their lives among nobles, musicians and artists. Their double identity as humans and beasts made them intriguing, and the girls and their father were the subjects not only of medical investigations but also of a considerable number of portraits, some of which still hang in European castles today. Using the Gonzales family as a lens, historian Merry Wiesner-Hanks examines their varied and wondrous times. The story of this family connects with every important change of their era—political and religious violence, colonial conquest, new forms of scholarship and science—and also provides insights into the complex relationships between beastliness, monstrosity and gender in early modern life.

Merry Wiesner-Hanks is Distinguished Professor of History, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her many books include Christianity and Sexuality in the Early Modern World and the prize-winning Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe, now in its third edition.

16 Current Affairs 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. Throughout his A renowned historian eludes the groundbreaking career, Morris has reshaped understanding of the pitfalls of partisanship and tackles Israeli-Arab conflict. Here, once again, he arrives at a new way of one of the world’s most perplexing thinking about the discord, injecting a ray of hope in a region where it and divisive issues is most sorely needed.

Money, Markets, and Sovereignty Benn Steil and Manuel Hinds In this keenly argued book, Benn Steil and Manuel Hinds offer the most powerful defence of economic liberalism since F. A. Hayek published The Road to Serfdom more than sixty years ago. The authors present a fascinating intellectual history of monetary nationalism from the ancient world to the present and explore why, in its modern incarnation, it represents the single greatest threat to globalisation. Steil and Hinds describe the current state of international economic relations as both unusual and precarious. Eras of economic protectionism have historically coincided with monetary nationalism, while eras of liberal trade have been accompanied by a universal monetary standard. But today, the authors show, an unprecedentedly liberal global trade regime operates side by side with the most extreme doctrine of monetary nationalism ever contrived—a situation bound to trigger periodic crises. Steil and Hinds call for a revival of the political and economic thinking that underlay earlier great periods of globalisation, and which is increasingly under threat by more recent ideas about what sovereignty means.

Biography/Literature 17 My Happiness Bears No Relation to Happiness A Poet’s Life in the Palestinian Century Adina Hoffman Beautifully written, and composed with a novelist’s eye for detail, this book tells the story of an exceptional man and the culture from which he emerged. Taha Muhammad Ali was born in 1931 in the Galilee village of Saffuriyya and was forced to flee during the war in 1948. He travelled on foot to Lebanon and returned a year later to find his village destroyed. An autodidact, he has since run a souvenir shop in Nazareth, at the same time evolving into what one leading American critic has dubbed “perhaps the most accessible and delightful poet alive today”. As it places Muhammad Ali’s life in the context of the lives of his predecessors and peers, My Happiness offers a sweeping depiction of a charged and fateful epoch. It is a work that Arabic scholar Michael Sells describes as “among the five ‘must read’ books on the Israel- The first biography of a Palestinian Palestine tragedy”.

Knut Hamsun Dreamer and Dissenter Ingar Sletten Kolloen Translated by Erik Skuggevik and Deborah Dawkin Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun (1859–1952), winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920, was both a brilliant and controversial man. Lauded for his literary achievements by Hemingway, Gide, Hesse and others, he also provoked outrage for his open collaboration with the Fascists during the German occupation of Norway and his insistent refusal to renounce his Nazi sympathies. This gripping biography of Hamsun, now available for the first time in English, offers a nuanced account of this morally ambiguous man. Drawing on Hamsun’s extraordinary private archives and on his psychoanalyst’s notes, Ingar Sletten Kolloen delves deeply into Hamsun’s personal life and character.

18 Science/Nature Bugs and the Victorians J. F. M. Clark In the wake of the Scientific Revolution, the impulse to name and classify the natural world accelerated, and insects presented a particularly inviting challenge. This lively book explores how science became increasingly important in 19th-century British culture and how the systematic study of insects permitted entomologists to engage with the most pressing questions of Victorian times: the nature of God, mind and governance and the origins of life. By placing insects in a myriad of contexts—politics, religion, gender and empire—John F. McDiarmid Clark demonstrates the impact of Victorian culture on the science of insects and on the systematic knowledge of the natural world. Through engaging accounts of famous and eccentric innovators who sought to define social roles for themselves through a specialist study of insects—among them a Tory clergyman, a banker and member of Parliament, a wealthy spinster and an entrepreneurial academic—Clark highlights the role of insects in the J.

Wetware A Computer in Every Living Cell Dennis Bray How does a single-cell creature, such as an amoeba, lead such a sophisticated life? How does it hunt living prey, respond to lights, sounds and smells, and display complex sequences of movements without the benefit of a nervous system? This book offers a startling and original answer. In clear, jargon-free language, Dennis Bray taps the findings of the new discipline of systems biology to show that the internal chemistry of living cells is a form of computation. Cells are built out of molecular circuits that perform logical operations, as electronic devices do, but with unique properties. Bray argues that the computational juice of cells provides the basis of all the distinctive properties of living systems: it allows organisms to embody in their internal structure an image of the world, and this accounts for their adaptability, responsiveness and intelligence. In the tradition of Erwin Wetware, like its author, is refreshingly heterodox. Bray offers perceptive Schrödinger’s What Is Life? and critiques of robotics and complexity theory, for example, as well as many Richard Dawkins’s The Selfish Gene, entertaining and telling anecdotes. For the general reader, the practising a distinguished cell biologist scientist and all others with an interest in the nature of life, the book is explains how living cells perform an exciting portal to some of biology’s latest discoveries and ideas. computations Dennis Bray is professor emeritus, University of Cambridge, and coauthor of several bestselling and influential texts on molecular and cell biology.

Science/Nature 19 Endless Forms Charles Darwin, Natural Science and the Visual Arts Edited by Diana Donald and Jane Munro Charles Darwin has had a profound influence on the fields of biology and natural history. But his ideas also imbued the work of many 19th- century artists. The slow process of evolution by ‘natural selection’, the dynamic interplay of life forms, the ‘struggle for existence’ all greatly stimulated the imaginations of artists of his era. This lavishly illustrated book is the first to explore Darwin’s impact on the visual arts in Europe and America during the second half of the 19th century. Exceptionally broad ranging, the book brings together art and science in a new way. It shows the visual influences on Darwin through his life, especially on the Beagle voyage, as well as the creative effects of his theories. The book demonstrates that in artists as diverse as Church, Landseer, Liljefors, Heade, Redon, Cézanne and Monet, in new forms of landscape painting and dioramas, imaginary scenes of prehistory and depictions of A gorgeously illustrated book that is animals, Darwin’s sense of the interplay of all living things and his response the first to explore the impact of to the beauties of colour and form in nature proved inspirational.

The Young Charles Darwin Influences and Ideas Keith Thomson What sort of person was the young naturalist who developed an evolutionary idea so logical, so dangerous, that it has dominated biological science for a century and a half? How did the quiet and shy Charles Darwin produce his theory of natural selection when many before him had started down the same path but failed? This book is the first to inquire into the range of influences and ideas, the mentors and rivals, and the formal and informal education that shaped Charles Darwin. Keith Thomson concentrates on Darwin’s early life as a schoolboy, a medical student at Edinburgh, a theology student at Cambridge, and a naturalist aboard the Beagle on its famous five-year voyage. Closely analysing Darwin’s Autobiography and scientific notebooks, the author draws a fully human portrait of Darwin for the first time: a vastly erudite and powerfully ambitious individual, self-absorbed but lacking self-confidence, hampered as much as helped by family, and sustained On the 150th anniversary of On the by a passion for philosophy and logic. Thomson’s account of the birth Origin of Species, a new investigation and maturing of Darwin’s brilliant theory is fascinating for the way it of Darwin’s early years and how he reveals both his genius as a scientist and the human foibles and arrived at his revolutionary ideas weaknesses with which he struggled.

20 History Frankly, My Dear Gone with the Wind Revisited Molly Haskell How and why has the saga of Scarlett O’Hara kept such a tenacious hold on our imagination for almost three-quarters of a century? In the first book ever to deal simultaneously with Margaret Mitchell’s beloved novel and David Selznick’s spectacular film version of Gone with the Wind, film critic Molly Haskell seeks the answers. By all industry predictions, the film should never have worked. What makes it successful are the fascinating and uncompromising personalities that Haskell dissects here: Margaret Mitchell, David Selznick and Vivien Leigh. As a feminist and onetime Southern adolescent, Haskell understands how the story takes on different shades of meaning according to the eye of the beholder. She explores how it has kept its edge because of Mitchell’s (and our) ambivalence about Scarlett and because of the complex racial and sexual attitudes embedded in a story that at one time or another has offended almost everyone. Haskell imaginatively weaves together disparate strands, conducting her Molly Haskell is a writer and film critic. story as her own inner debate between enchantment and She has lectured widely on the role of disenchantment.

A pioneering history of the tenor voice and its extraordinary virtuosos, including Caruso, Bocelli, Pavarotti and other celebrated singers

Tenor History of a Voice John Potter From its emergence in the 16th century to the phenomenon of the ‘Three Tenors’ and beyond, the tenor voice has grown in popularity and esteem. This engaging and authoritative book—the first comprehensive history of tenor singing—presents fascinating details about the world’s great performers, styles of singing in different countries, teachers and music schools, the variety of compositions for the tenor voice, and much more. John Potter begins by surveying the prehistory of the tenor in the medieval period, when Gregorian chant and early polyphony had implications for a voice-type, and proceeds to the 16th century, when singers were first identified as tenors. He focuses on many of the greatest tenors—those who predated the gramophone as well as those whose recorded voices may still be heard—and considers the ways in which each is historically significant. The names range from legendary early figures John Potter is Lecturer in Music, like Ludwig Schnoor von Carolsfeld (Wagner’s first Tristan) to those more University of York.

22 Religion/Philosophy The Philosophers’ Quarrel Rousseau, Hume, and the Limits of Human Understanding Robert Zaretsky and John T. Scott The rise and spectacular fall of the friendship between the two great philosophers of the 18th century, barely six months after they first met, reverberated on both sides of the Channel. As the relationship between Jean-Jacques Rousseau and David Hume unravelled, a volley of rancorous letters was fired off, then quickly published and devoured by aristocrats, intellectuals and common readers, alike. Everyone took sides in this momentous dispute between the greatest of Enlightenment thinkers. In this lively and revealing book, Robert Zaretsky and John T. Scott explore the unfolding rift between Rousseau and Hume. The authors are particularly fascinated by the connection between the thinkers’ lives and thought, especially the way that their failure to understand one another (and themselves) illuminates the limits of human understanding. In addition, they situate the philosophers’ quarrel in the social, political and intellectual milieu that informed their actions, as The dramatic collapse of the well as the actions of the other participants in the dispute, such as friendship between Rousseau and James Boswell, Adam Smith and Voltaire. By examing the conflict Hume, in the context of their grand through the prism of each philosopher’s contribution to Western intellectual quest to conquer the thought, Zaretsky and Scott reveal the implications for the two men as limits of human understanding individuals and philosophers as well as for the contemporary world.

Atheist Delusions The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies David Bentley Hart Currently it is fashionable to be devoutly undevout. Religion’s most passionate antagonists—Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and others—have publishers competing eagerly to market their various denunciations of religion, monotheism, Christianity and Roman Catholicism. But contemporary antireligious polemics are based not only upon profound conceptual confusions but upon facile simplifications of history or even outright historical ignorance: so contends David Bentley Hart in this bold correction of the distortions. One of the most brilliant scholars of religion of our time, Hart provides a powerful antidote to the New Atheists’ misrepresentations of the Christian past, bringing into focus the truth about the most radical revolution in Western history. Hart outlines how Christianity transformed the ancient world in ways we may have forgotten: bringing liberation from fatalism, conferring great dignity on human beings, subverting the cruellest aspects of pagan Like Timonthy Keller in The Reason society and elevating charity above all virtues. He then argues that what for God, David Bentley Hart resolutely we term the ‘Age of Reason’ was in fact the beginning of the eclipse of dismantles the New Atheists’ reason’s authority as a cultural value. Hart closes the book in the present, arguments against Christian belief delineating the ominous consequences of the decline of Christendom in a culture that is built upon its moral and spiritual values.

In this idyllic room where knowledge and memory are entwined, worlds of learning are revealed. “In this wonderful and gripping book, Manguel makes libraries seem as full of gusto and energy as life, and not, as people sometimes think, dusty alternatives to it.”—Philip Hensher, The Daily Telegraph “It is written in Ecclesiastes that ‘of making many books there is no end, and much study is weariness of the flesh’. This can be construed as a celebration of, or warning concerning, the plentitude and power of books. The book can help us to interpret the past and to imagine the future. That is the achievement of The Library at Night. Out of the darkness of one man’s library shines a beacon.” —Peter Ackroyd, The Times “Books jump out of their jackets when Manguel opens them and A celebration of reading, of libraries dance in delight as they make contact with his ingenious, voluminous and of the mysterious human desire brain.

The artist enters the decade of the 1950s in search of himself and his true subject; he finishes ten years later having completed some of his great masterpieces and having acquired technical mastery over one of the most disturbing and revealing visions of the 20th century. “[Peppiatt’s] essay is a profound meditation on the painter’s psychology and motivation; one of the best things ever written on Bacon.”—Martin Gayord, The Sunday Telegraph The first exploration of Bacon’s “a superb account of Bacon’s toughest and most definitive period, compelling work during the key illustrated by paintings, some of which are little known.” decade when he was attaining the —Frank Whitford, The Sunday Times height of his powers “makes for flavoursome reading.

Palladio’s Rome Edited and translated by Vaughan Hart and Peter Hicks Andrea Palladio (1508–1580), one of the most famous architects of all time, published two enormously popular guides to the churches and antiquities of Rome in 1554. Here translated into English and joined in a single volume for the first time, Palladio’s guidebooks allow modern visitors to enjoy Rome exactly as their predecessors did 450 years ago. “This pocket-sized edition, the first one-volume edition in English, allows the modern visitor or armchair tourist to follow in the footsteps of the Renaissance traveller, seeing the city as it was described by one of the world’s greatest architects.”—London Review of Books “delightfully quixotic . . . Yale has supplied lavish illustration . . . [and] the editors’ commentary is often fuller than Palladio’s text and packed with information . . . an unexpected and welcome bonus.” —Robert Harbison, Architects Journal “To invoke a place imaginatively is to find it through many layers and strange incarnations. Rome is a city where the past is habitually present, but the inspired reissue of Palladio’s writings on Rome is better than any guided tour or ruin mongering.” —Jeanette Winterson, The Times

A vivid and extraordinarily wide-ranging collection of writings by an eminent historian of Spain and its empire El Greco, View and map of the town Toledo, c.1608/14.

Spain, Europe and the Wider World 1500–1800 J. H. Elliott When J. H. Elliott published Spain and Its World, 1500–1700 some twenty years ago, one of many enthusiasts declared, “For anyone interested in the history of empire, of Europe and of Spain, here is a book to keep within reach, to read, to study and to enjoy” (Times Literary Supplement). Since then Elliott has continued to explore the history of Spain and the Hispanic world with originality and insight, producing some of the most influential work in the field. In this new volume he gathers writings that reflect his recent research and thinking on politics, art, culture and ideas in Europe and the colonial worlds between 1500 and 1800. The volume includes fourteen essays, lectures and articles of remarkable breadth and freshness, written with Elliott’s characteristic brio. It includes an unpublished lecture in honour of the late Hugh Trevor-Roper. Organised around three themes—early modern Europe, European J. H.

History 27

A vivid exploration of the life and times of José de San Martín, legendary liberator of Chile and Peru Goya, Execution of the Rebels of the 3rd of May, 1808.

San Martín Argentinian Soldier, American Hero John Lynch José de San Martín (1778–1850) was an enigmatic figure—a revolutionary and a conservative, a professional soldier and an intellectual, a taciturn man who nevertheless was able to inspire the peoples of South America to follow his armies and accept his battle strategies. One of the great leaders in the wars for independence, he was a pivotal force in the liberation of Chile and Peru from Spanish rule. In the first full English-language biography of San Martín in more than half a century, John Lynch shines new light on San Martín and on the story of Spanish America’s revolutionary wars. Lynch offers a series of dramatic set pieces: the Peninsular War, in which San Martín fought the French and learned his military skills; the crossing of the Andes, when his army battled the forces of nature as well as enemy fire; the confrontation with imperial Spain in Peru; and the standoff with John Lynch is Emeritus Professor of Bolívar which led to San Martín’s resignation and exile in Europe.

28 History Spies The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America John Earl Haynes, Harvey Klehr and Alexander Vassiliev This important book, based on KGB archives that have never come to light before, provides the most complete account of Soviet espionage in America ever written. In 1993, former KGB officer Alexander Vassiliev was permitted unique access to Stalin-era records of Soviet intelligence operations against the United States. Years later, living in Britain, Vassiliev retrieved his extensive notebooks of transcribed documents from Moscow. With these notebooks John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr have meticulously constructed a new, sometimes shocking, historical account. Along with insights into espionage tactics and the motives of Americans who spied for Stalin, Spies resolves specific controversies. The book confirms, among many other things, that Alger Hiss cooperated with Soviet intelligence over a long period of years, that journalist I. F. Stone worked on behalf of the KGB in the 1930s, and that Robert Oppenheimer was never recruited by Soviet intelligence. Spies also uncovers numerous American spies who were never even under suspicion and satisfyingly identifies the last unaccounted-for American nuclear spies. Vassiliev tells the story of the notebooks and his own extraordinary life in a gripping introduction to the volume. John Earl Haynes is a historian in the Manuscript Division, the Library of Congress. Harvey Klehr is Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Politics and History, Emory University. Haynes and Klehr are coauthors with Fridrikh Igorevich Firsov of The Secret World of American Communism, published by Yale. Alexander Vassiliev, journalist and coauthor with Allen Weinstein of The Haunted Wood: Soviet Espionage in America, now lives in the UK. June 706 pp. 234x156mm. ISBN 978-0-300-12390-6 £25.00*

Alger Hiss and the Battle for History Susan Jacoby Books on Whittaker Chambers and Alger Hiss abound, as countless scholars have laboured to uncover the facts behind Chambers’s shocking accusation before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in the summer of 1948—that Alger Hiss, a former rising star in the State Department, had been a Communist and engaged in espionage. In this highly original work, Susan Jacoby turns her attention to the Hiss case, including his trial and imprisonment for perjury, as a mirror of shifting American political views and passions. Unfettered by political axe-grinding, the author examines conflicting responses, from scholars and the media on both the left and the right, and the ways in which they have changed from 1948 to our present post–Cold War era. With a brisk, engaging style, Jacoby positions the case in the politics of the post–World War II era and then explores the ways in which generations of liberals and conservatives have put Chambers and Hiss to their own ideological uses. An iconic event of the McCarthy era, the case of Alger Hiss fascinates political intellectuals not only because of its historical significance but because of its timeless relevance to equally fierce debates today about the difficult balance between national security and respect for civil liberties. Susan Jacoby is an independent scholar and best-selling author. The most recent of her seven previous books is The Age of American Unreason. Icons of America April 272 pp. 210x140mm.

The Sacco-Vanzetti Affair America on Trial Moshik Temkin What began as the obscure local case of two Italian immigrant anarchists accused of robbery and murder flared into an unprecedented political and legal scandal as the perception grew that their conviction was a judicial travesty and their execution a political murder. This book is the first to reveal the full national and international scope of the Sacco-Vanzetti affair, uncovering how and why the two men became the centre of a global cause célèbre that shook public opinion and transformed America’s relationship with the world. Drawing on extensive research on two continents, this book connects the Sacco-Vanzetti affair to the most polarising political and social concerns of its era. Moshik Temkin contends that the worldwide attention to the case was generated not only by the conviction that innocent men had been condemned for their radical politics and ethnic origins but also as part of a reaction to U.S. global supremacy and isolationism after World War I. The author further argues that the international protest, which helped make Sacco and Vanzetti famous men, ultimately provoked their executions. The book concludes by investigating the affair’s enduring repercussions and what they reveal about global political action, terrorism, jingoism, xenophobia and the politics of our own time. Moshik Temkin is an assistant professor at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.

History 29 Living with Hitler Liberal Democrats in the Third Reich Eric Kurlander This book addresses key questions about liberal democrats and their activities in Germany from 1933 to the end of the Nazi regime. While it is commonly assumed that liberals fled their homeland at the first sign of jackboots, in reality most stayed. Some even thrived under Hitler, personally as well as professionally. Historian Eric Kurlander examines the motivations, hopes and fears of liberal democrats —Germans who best exemplified the middle-class progressivism of the Weimar Republic—to discover why so few resisted and so many embraced elements of the Third Reich. German liberalism was not only the opponent and victim of National Socialism, Kurlander suggests, but in some ways its ideological and sociological antecedent. That liberalism could be both has crucial implications for understanding the genesis of authoritarian regimes everywhere. Indeed, Weimar democrats’ prolonged reluctance to oppose the regime demonstrates how easily a liberal democracy may gradually succumb to fascism. “A provocative study: Eric Kurlander exposes the spaces that liberals and democrats could make for themselves in the Third Reich and explores the aspects of National Socialism that those same liberals and democrats found appealing and even necessary. In this trenchant analysis, liberals are both resilient and complicit.”—Peter Fritzsche, author of Life and Death in the Third Reich

Last Rites John Lukacs Twenty years ago, John Lukacs paused to set down the history of his own thoughts and beliefs in Confessions of an Original Sinner, an adroit blend of autobiography and personal philosophy. Now, in Last Rites, he continues and expands his reflections, this time integrating his conception of history and human knowledge with private memories of his wives and loves, and enhancing the book with footnotes from his idiosyncratic diaries. The resulting volume is fascinating and delightful, a book of history by a passionate, authentic, brilliant and witty man. Lukacs begins with a concise rendering of a historical understanding of our world, then follows with trenchant observations on his life in the U.S., commentary on his native Hungary and the new meanings it took for him after 1989, and deeply personal portraits of his three wives. He includes also a chapter on his formative memories of May and June 1940 and of Winston Churchill, a subject in some of Lukacs’s later studies. Last Rites is a richly layered summation combined with a set of extraordinary observations—an original book only John Lukacs could have written. Praise for Confessions of an Original Sinner: “[Lukacs] is an often witty and always fascinating—even entertaining—writer.”—Washington Post John Lukacs is an internationally read and praised historian, the author of some thirty books, a winner of numerous academic honours and awards and a member of the Royal Historical Society.

Church, Society and Religious Change in France, 1580–1730 Joseph Bergin This wide-ranging and authoritative book is the first to fully synthesise the French experience of religious change in the period stretching between the Reformation and the early Enlightenment. The traumatic experiences of the wars of religion and the continuing challenge of Protestantism made France an unusually potent site for significant religious upheavals and developments. The country was a crucible for theological doctrines and inventive practitioners, which generated considerable conflict but also stimulated religious reform and innovation. The dynamism of the French version of the Catholic Reformation surpassed anything elsewhere in Europe. Vividly rendering the religious history of France through its social, institutional and cultural contexts, Joseph Bergin explores the different agents, instruments and techniques employed to engineer religious transformations. Through a comprehensive examination of a huge volume of didactic religious literature, he shows how fresh religious ideas and practices were disseminated across French society in the hopes of shaping a new kind of devout Catholic. Assured, nuanced and ground-breaking, this book illuminates the continually developing interaction between church and society in France, and uncovers the religiosity of the 17th century. Joseph Bergin is Professor of History at Manchester University, and a Fellow of the British Academy.

Eva Hesse Studiowork Briony Fer Throughout her career, Eva Hesse (1936–1970) produced a significant number of small, experimental works alongside her large-scale sculpture. These so-called ‘test-pieces’ were made in a wide range of materials, including latex, wire-mesh, sculp-metal, wax and cheesecloth. Rather than considering them simply technical explorations, the art historian Briony Fer renames these small objects studiowork and argues that they put in question conventional notions of what sculpture is. The book contains a comprehensive catalogue of the studiowork, including many new works that have never before been seen in public. Although previously these small works were considered peripheral to the major sculptures, this fascinating new study argues that they force us to ask fundamental questions, not just about what an artwork is, but about the work that art does in our culture.

A compelling, revisionist approach to Edvard Munch that explores his work and persona in relation to the art and criticism of his time

Becoming Edvard Munch Influence, Anxiety, and Myth Jay A. Clarke Exhibition Two potent myths have traditionally defined our understanding of the The Art Institute of Chicago, artist Edvard Munch (1862–1944): he was mentally unstable, as his 14 February – 26 April 2009 iconic work The Scream (1893) suggests, and he was radically independent, following his own singular vision. Becoming Edvard Munch: Influence, Anxiety, and Myth persuasively challenges these entrenched perceptions.

Jay A. Clarke is Associate Curator In this book, Jay A. Clarke demonstrates that Munch was thoroughly in of Prints and Drawings at the control of his artistic identity, a savvy businessman skilled in responding Art Institute of Chicago. to the market and shaping popular opinion. Moreover, the author shows that Munch was keenly aware of the art world of his day, adopting motifs, styles and techniques from a wide variety of sources, including many Scandinavian artists. By presenting Munch’s paintings, prints and drawings in relation to those of European contemporaries, including Harriet Backer, James Ensor, Vincent van Gogh, Max Klinger, Christian Krohg and Claude Monet, Clarke reveals often surprising connections and influences. This interpretive approach, grounded in Munch’s diaries and letters, period criticism and the artworks themselves, reintroduces Munch as an artist who cultivated myths both visual and personal. Becoming Edvard Munch features beautiful colour reproductions of approximately 150 works, including 75 paintings and 75 works on paper by Munch and his peers.

The story of the greatest manufacturer and entrepreneur of his age

The Soho Manufactury depicted on a poster of the rules of the Soho Insurance Society, 1792.

Matthew Boulton Selling What All the World Desires Shena Mason Matthew Boulton was an 18th-century designer, inventor and industrialist, a consummate businessman, and co-founder of the influential Lunar Society. Now, on the bicentenary of his death, this book surveys his life and extraordinarily varied achievements. The book explains how Boulton, a Birmingham ‘toy’-maker producing buttons, buckles and silverware, went into business with James Watt and exported Boulton & Watt steam engines all over the world. Meanwhile his magnificent ormolu ornaments decorated aristocratic drawing rooms, and his determination to discourage counterfeiters led to a contract to manufacture British coinage and coins of other countries at his mint. Boulton was leader of the campaign to establish the Birmingham Assay Office (still the busiest in the country), and also at the heart of the Lunar Society, a group of prominent industrialists, natural philosophers and intellectuals interested in scientific and social change. Known to Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Erasmus Darwin, Josiah Wedgwood and many others, Boulton was a fascinating man, Britain’s leading Enlightenment entrepreneur.

Shena Mason was a member of the Soho House project development team. She also worked on the cataloguing of the Matthew Boulton Papers.

38 Art John Singer Sargent Venetian Figures and Landscapes 1898–1913 Complete Paintings: Volume VI Richard Ormond and Elaine Kilmurray Throughout his career—and particularly in the period from 1898 to 1913—John Singer Sargent painted the spectacular architecture and scenes of everyday life in Venice, as he sat alongside the Grand Canal or in a gondola in the sleepy side canals. This lavishly illustrated book presents all the luminous masterworks that Sargent completed during that fertile fifteen-year period: oils and watercolours that reveal his taste for the Renaissance, Baroque and high style in art and architecture as they were seen in the city’s unique light. The book reproduces and documents 141 works, including several that are published for the first time. An authoritative essay explores the aesthetics of Sargent’s Venetian work, places it in the context of his oeuvre as a whole, explains Sargent’s relationships with his patrons in Sargent’s entrancing Venetian oils Venice, and discusses the exhibitions and marketing of this work in and watercolours are displayed and London and New York. The book also provides a map of Venice discussed in this gorgeous book marking every known location that Sargent painted and displays dozens of contemporary colour photographs of the sites.

The Primacy of Drawing Histories and Theories of Practice Deanna Petherbridge This important and original book affirms the significance of drawing as visual thinking in western art from the 15th century to the present through an examination of its practice: how and why it is made, how it relates to other forms of visual production and theories of art and what artists themselves have written about it. Deanna Petherbridge is a practising artist, and through scrutinising a wide range of drawings in various media, she confirms a long historical commitment to the primal importance of sketching in generating ideas and problem solving, examines the production of autonomous drawings as gifts or for pleasure, and traces the importance of the life-class and theories of drawing in the training of artists until well into the 20th century. In the final chapters she addresses the changing role of drawing in relation to Deanna Petherbridge was formerly contemporary practice, and its importance for conceptual artists Professor of Drawing at the Royal working in a non-hierarchical manner with a multiplicity of practices, College of Art, and is now Research techniques and technologies.

Art 39 Since 1950 Art and its Criticism Charles Harrison In a series of compelling and finely argued essays on late 20th-century art and the critical perspectives it has generated, Charles Harrison offers an acute analysis of the seismic shift that took place when the modernist formalism that had underpinned thinking about art in the first half of the century came to be seen as a spent force. He asks how the diverse art of this period is to be understood and on what basis judgments are to be made about the merits and importance of specific works. The twelve essays that compose the book were written over a period of twenty years and represent a sustained attempt to examine the nature of modernism in art—both its successes and its failures—and to understand the changes that have followed the international Conceptual Art movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, among them a massive growth in the market and audience for modern art, and Charles Harrison is Emeritus Professor an erosion of the barriers between fine art and popular culture. of the History and Theory of Art, Harrison considers the implications of these changes for the judgement The Open University. and criticism of art.

Tatlin’s Tower Monument to Revolution Norbert Lynton The plans for the gigantic Monument to the Third International were completed in 1920 by Vladimir Tatlin, the Russian painter and visionary designer who was a key figure of Russian constructivism. Planned as the headquarters and monument of the Comintern in Petrograd, it was to be made from industrial materials—iron, glass and steel—as a towering symbol of modernity. Because of the political turmoil and housing shortages in Russia after the 1917 Revolution, the building was never constructed, but it remains a celebrated icon of revolutionary art. In this insightful book, Norbert Lynton investigates the sources and symbolism of Tatlin’s Tower and considers not only its significance but also the broader role of allegory in abstraction and as an expression of man’s highest aspirations. Then, in light of his new symbolic reading of the Tower, Lynton examines Tatlin’s flying machine, Letatlin and earlier works in his career and discusses their impact on other Russian An examination of the greatest painters, sculptors, designers and architects of his era. unexecuted work of art of the Norbert Lynton, who died in 2007, was professor of art history at Sussex 20th century University and a respected critic.

A Closer Look: Conservation of Paintings David Bomford updated by Jill Dunkerton and Martin Wyld The preservation of works of art for future generations is a central function of the National Gallery. This expert guide shows how modern conservation differs significantly from that of previous eras: the emphasis now is on long-term stabilisation by methods that alter the structure of a painting as little as possible. Nevertheless, if paintings are obscured by discoloured varnishes and old repaints, there may be a case for cleaning, and this has often sparked controversy. Some of those issues are examined here. Conservation of Paintings discusses the material nature of paintings, how they age and describes the main types of conservation treatment carried out on panel and canvas paintings, and some of the problems involved in cleaning and restoration. A series of case studies of major works from the National Gallery vividly illustrates the complex and varied issues that confront the conservator. David Bomford is Associate Director for Collections at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. He was formerly Senior Restorer at the National Gallery, London.

A Closer Look: Colour David Bomford and Ashok Roy Colour is so fundamental a part of the natural world that we tend to take it for granted. This is equally true of colour in paintings, where its function—as well as being descriptive—may be symbolic, emotional, a purely formal element in the design, or all of these. Yet when looking at paintings which appear to be representations of the ‘real world’, we may be quite unaware of the materials that make up colour, and how artists maniupulate these to convey form and substance. A Closer Look: Colour explores the ways in which artists have used colour, and describes the pigments characteristic of a particular period, the effect on colour of the painter’s chosen medium, and how the development of new pigments dramatically extended the palette. Optics, and the comparative merits of colour and drawing, have preoccupied painters for centuries, and the authors outline the major theories expounded in artists’ treatises. Detailed studies of paintings from across the National Gallery’s Collection, from van Eyck to Seurat, provide vivid illustrations of the extraordinary variety of colour in the history of European painting.

Corot to Monet Sarah Herring

By the late 18th century, the practice of painting in the open air (plein-air) was widespread, • London The National Gallery with Italy the undisputed centre. Artists of all nationalities congregated in Rome, from where they set out for the Campagna and other picturesque locations. As the 19th century progressed, however, artists grew more interested in depicting their own native landscapes. In France, the Barbizon group—Corot, Rousseau, Millet and Daubigny—were eager to treat the local landscape and its people in a contemporary, realistic manner. These painters were a crucial influence on a new generation of artists who would eventually become known as the Impressionists. Includes early works by Monet and Pissarro.

Gilbert Rohde Modern Design for Modern Living Phyllis Ross Few designers did more to influence the appearance of postwar American interiors than the furniture designer Gilbert Rohde (1894–1944). This first in-depth book on Rohde explores how he brought an industrial design perspective to the furniture industry and, in the process, introduced modernism to a broad range of Americans, especially through his modular furnishings. By tracing his career at the Herman Miller Furniture Company, where Rohde was a designer in the 1930s and 1940s, Phyllis Ross places his work in a broad cultural and economic context. The book shows how Rohde’s focus on comfort, informality, multifunctionality and flexibility transposed European design antecedents into furnishings suitable for American lifestyles. A champion of modular components, he experimented with new industrial materials, including Plexiglas, and A comprehensive exploration of the produced furniture with biomorphic forms. Not only did Rohde designer who transformed American introduce modern designs, but he also devised a complete furniture by bringing modernism to merchandising strategy for their promotion. the middle class Today Rohde’s furniture and decorative designs are coveted by collectors.

Art 43 Alvar Aalto Architecture, Modernity, and Geopolitics Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen Perhaps no other great modern architect has been linked to a native country as closely as Alvar Aalto (1898–1976). Critics have argued that the essence of Finland flows, as if naturally, into his quasi-organic forms, ranging from such buildings as the Baker House in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to iconic 20th-century designs, including his Savoy vase and bent-plywood stacking stools. What did Aalto himself say about the importance of nationalism and geography in his work and in architecture generally? With an unprecedented focus on the architect’s own writings, library and critical reception, Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen proposes a dramatically different interpretation of Aalto’s oeuvre, revealing it as a deeply thoughtful response to his intellectual and cultural milieu—especially to Finland’s dynamic political circumstances following independence from Russia in 1917. An intellectual biography that Pelkonen also considers the geographic and geopolitical narratives reconsiders the influence of Aalto’s found in his writings, including ideas about national style and national Finnish origins on his work by cultural revival and about how architecture can foster cosmopolitanism, examining his own writings on internationalism and regionalism. geography and architecture Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen is assistant professor and chair of the Master of Architectural Design Program at the School of Architecture at Yale University.

The resorts of Morecambe and Southport, the planned Early Victorian port at Fleetwood and industrial Preston with its grand Victorian churches all add to the urban diversity. Rural highlights include the celebrated Jesuit school at Stonyhurst and the extravagantly Neo-Gothic Scarisbrick Hall, two key sites of Catholic architectural patronage. A diverse inheritance of gentry houses and some distinctive traditions of vernacular building lend further variety. Each city, town and village is treated in a detailed gazetteer. An expert general introduction provides a historical and artistic overview. Numerous maps and plans, over a hundred new colour photographs, full indexes and an illustrated glossary help to make this book invaluable as both reference work and guide.

Gwynedd The Buildings of Wales Richard Haslam, Julian Orbach and Adam Voelcker The spectacular landscapes of Gwynedd—the historic counties of Anglesey, Caernarfon and Merioneth—are the setting for many of Wales’s greatest buildings. Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Conwy and Harlech castles are unsurpassed as works of medieval military architecture. Penrhyn is the epitome of romantic castle-making from the Regency age, while the bridges and viaducts constructed for Thomas Telford’s new high road and Robert Stephenson’s main-line railway are enduring wonders of 19th- century engineering. The Picturesque tradition makes a late and unexpected flowering at Portmeirion, the bewitching Italianate seaside village founded between the wars by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis. Prehistoric and Early Christian sites of evocative power are scattered through the mountainous interior, intermixed with a unique inheritance of early industrial monuments, including vast slate quarries and some celebrated narrow-gauge railways. The diverse towns include the planned Georgian settlement at Tremadog and the ambitious seaside resort of Llandudno. Medieval churches, Nonconformist chapels and houses in distinctive vernacular traditions are plentiful throughout. Altogether, no area of Wales is more rewarding to the architectural traveller.

Art 45 The Town House in Georgian London Rachel Stewart This book takes a fresh look at a familiar building type—the town house in 18th-century London—and investigates the circumstances in which individuals made decisions about living in London, and particularly about their West End house. It uncovers what occupants of town houses thought about their property, why and how they chose or built it, paid for it, used it, decorated it and sold or bequeathed it, and what uses it had for them beyond simply accommodation. For the first time, this book takes as a starting point the houseowner, occupant or architect’s client, and through extensive and original use of anecdotal evidence, opens up a wealth of unforeseen values, uses and connections attaching to the house. Rachel Stewart shows how the use of the house comprised much more than living in it on a day-to-day basis, and included how it functioned in the context of family relations, financial, legal and property Rachel Stewart is Director, Centre for transactions and the market, as well as in the construction of personal Career Management Skills, University identity.

Brick and Clay Building in Britain R. W. Brunskill Despite the enthusiasm of fashionable architects for glass and concrete, people remain attached to the use of brick. Old houses built of brick are cherished; new houses of brick bring out the warmth and decorative possibilities of the material. This new edition of Brick Building in Britain provides a fascinating account of how bricks, brick tiles and terracotta have been made and used from medieval times to the present day. It includes an illustrated glossary of brickwork where virtually every term is shown in photographs and diagrams and a chronological photographic survey ranges from the earliest survivors to the 20th century. There is also an introduction to the use of unbaked earth in different locations in England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland and internationally. Appendices cover the Brick Tax, cavity walling and damp proof courses, the use of Header Bond in brickwork, and brickwork in Scotland and Ireland. The bibliography has been enlarged The definitive guide to brick- and brought up to date. Since publication Brick Building in Britain has building styles and methods been widely praised both for its clear and well-balanced text and for the quality of the illustrations.

R. W. Brunskill was formerly Professor at De Montfort University, Leicester, and before that Reader in Architecture at the University of Manchester.

46 Art Compass and Rule Architecture as Mathematical Practice in England Anthony Gerbino and Stephen Johnston The spread of Renaissance culture in England coincided with the birth of the profession of architecture, whose practitioners soon became superior to simple builders in social standing and perceived intellectual prowess. This stimulating book, which focuses in particular on the scientist, mathematician and architect Sir Christopher Wren, explores the extent to which this new professional identity was based on expertise in the mathematical arts and sciences. Featuring drawings, instruments, paintings and other examples of the material culture of English architecture, the book discusses the role of mathematics in architectural design and building technology. It begins with architectural drawing in the 16th century, moves to large-scale technical drawing under Henry VIII, considers Inigo Jones and his royal buildings and Christopher Wren and the dome of St. Paul’s and concludes with the architectural education of George III. Interweaving text and visual image, the book investigates the boundaries between art and science in architecture—the most artistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the arts.

Ancient Churches of Ethiopia David W. Phillipson The kings of Aksum formally became Christian during the second quarter of the fourth century, making Ethiopia the second country in the world (after Armenia) officially to adopt the new faith. This landmark book is the first to integrate historical, archaeological and art-historical evidence to provide a comprehensive account of Ethiopian Christian civilisation and its churches—both built and rock- hewn—from the Aksumite period to the 13th century. David W. Phillipson, a foremost authority on Ethiopia’s archaeology, situates these churches within the development of Ethiopian society, illuminating the exceptional continuity of the country’s Christian civilisation. He offers a fresh view of the processes which gave rise to this unique African culture as well as the most detailed treatment of the rock-hewn churches at Lalibela World Heritage Site ever published. Abundantly illustrated, filled with original insights and incorporating new chronological findings, this book will be of enormous interest to a wide international circle of students, scholars and travellers.

A beautiful look at Bonnard’s late interior and still-life imagery, considered among his finest work

Pierre Bonnard The Late Still Lifes and Interiors Dita Amory With contributions from Rika Burnham, Jack Flam, Rémi Labrusse and Jacqueline Munck Exhibition Working in his villa in the south of France, Pierre Bonnard The Metropolitan Museum of Art, (1867–1947) suffused his late canvases with radiant Mediterranean 27 January – 19 April 2009 light and dazzling colour. Although his subjects were close at hand— usually everyday domestic scenes—Bonnard rarely painted from life. Instead, he made pencil sketches in diaries and relied on these, along with his memory, as he executed the works in his studio. These The Metropolitan Museum of Art • New The Metropolitan Museum of Art York interiors thus often conflate details from the artist’s daily life with fleeting, mysterious evocations of his past. The spectral figures who appear at the margins of the canvases, overshadowed by brilliantly coloured baskets of fruit or other props, create an atmosphere of profound ambiguity and puzzling abstraction: the mundane rendered in a wholly new pictorial language. The 75 paintings, drawings and watercolours in this volume, some rarely seen treasures from private collections, all made between 1923 and 1947, are central to the ongoing reappraisal of Bonnard as a leading figure of French modernism.

The Jaharis Gospel Lectionary The Story of a Byzantine Book John Lowden Until 2008 the Jaharis Lectionary was a hidden treasure: an illuminated Byzantine manuscript that was almost entirely unknown, even to scholars. Superbly preserved, it is arguably the most important Byzantine work to come to the Metropolitan Museum’s renowned collection since the 1917 gifts of J. Pierpont Morgan. It represents the apogee of Constantinopolitan craftsmanship around the year 1100. In this important study, John Lowden, a leading expert on Byzantine manuscripts, discusses his discoveries about this extraordinary manuscript within the broader context of Byzantine book illumination. He traces the book’s history from its acquisition to its production in Constantinople. By detailed analysis and comparison, the author shows how the manuscript was made for use in the patriarchal church of Hagia Sophia.

The Joseon rulers replaced the Buddhist establishment and re- created a Korean society informed on every level by Neo-Confucian ideals. They supported the production of innovative secular art inspired by past traditions, both native and from the broader Confucian world. Yet despite official policies, court-sponsored Buddhist art endured, contributing to the rich complexity of the early Joseon culture. The exquisite paintings, porcelain and other ceramics, metalware, and lacquerware featured in the book are drawn from the holdings of major Korean and Japanese museums, the collection of the Metropolitan Museum and other U.S. collections and private collections.

50 Art Amy Blakemore Photographs 1988–2008 Alison de Lima Greene • With Anne Wilkes Tucker, Chrissie Iles and Marisa C. Sánchez Amy Blakemore (b. 1958) is renowned for her deceptively simple photographs of friends, family and local landscapes. Her images, featured here for the first time in book form, evoke fleeting aspects of personality and memory and have been shown in numerous exhibitions, including the 2006 Whitney Biennial. Blakemore has worked for the past 20 years with low-tech, medium-format Diana cameras known for flaws that produce a flattened perspective, colour shifts, vignetting and blurriness. Blakemore manipulates these flaws to capture the way memory simultaneously records and distorts visual information, creating photographs that are familiar and mysterious—both documents of the present and suggestions of times past. Presenting some 40 works, the book brings together images that seem to record casual, spontaneous moments but also hint at a larger narrative.

Agnes Martin Edited by Lynne Cooke and Karen Kelly • With essays by Rhea Anastas, Douglas Crimp, Jonathan D. Katz, Michael Newman, Kathryn A. Tuma et al. Gorgeously quiet in colour and composition, Agnes Martin’s paintings have a distinctive grace that sets them apart from those of the Abstract Expressionists of her day and the Minimalist artists she inspired. Martin attributed her grid-based works to metaphysical motivations, lending a serene complexity to her oeuvre that has defied any easy categorisation. Perhaps for this reason, critical and scholarly analysis of her paintings has been scarce, until now. This important new anthology brings together the most current scholarship on Martin’s paintings by twelve multidisciplinary essayists who consider various aspects of the artist’s four-decade career. Organised by Dia Art Foundation, this publication brings renewed focus and energy to Martin’s career and her contributions to the art historical narrative.

Art 51 Dada’s Women Ruth Hemus The European Dada movement of the early 20th century has long been regarded as a male preserve, one in which women have been relegated to footnotes or mentioned only as the wives, girlfriends or sisters of Dada men. This fascinating book challenges that assumption, focusing on the creative contributions made to Dada by five pivotal European women. Ruth Hemus establishes the ways in which Emmy Hennings and Sophie Taeuber in Zurich, Hannah Höch in Berlin and Suzanne Duchamp and Céline Arnauld in Paris made important interventions across fine art, literature and performance. Hemus highlights how their techniques and approaches were characteristic of Dada’s rebellion against aesthetic and cultural conventions, analyses the impact of gender on each woman’s work, and shows convincingly that they were innovators and not imitators. In its new and original perspective on Dada, the book broadens our appreciation and challenges accepted understandings of this revolutionary avant-garde movement.

Dove/O’Keeffe Circles of Influence Debra Bricker Balken From the outset of her career, Georgia O’Keeffe credited her introduction to modernism as deriving in part from a reproduction of a pastel by Arthur Dove she saw around 1913. By this time Dove was well established as the foremost modernist artist in America, yet O’Keeffe herself would later become a source of renewal for his work. Renowned scholar Debra Bricker Balken here offers the first investigation into the interrelationship between these two great artists. She shows that while Dove’s sensual evocations of landscape—his abstractions of nature’s undulating rhythms and forms—offered inspiration for O’Keeffe, the influence of O’Keeffe’s work on Dove was equally significant. After 1930, Dove turned to O’Keeffe’s early works for renewed aesthetic inspiration, mining, as he put it, her “burning watercolours”. Beyond examining the impact of these mutual influences, this beautifully illustrated publication situates Dove and O’Keeffe within An original examination of how the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, and brings them into a fuller context Arthur Dove and Georgia O’Keeffe within the modernist scene of the 1920s and 1930s.

In 2008, Nauman was unanimously selected to represent the United States at the 53rd Venice Biennale, in an exhibition organised by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The accompanying catalogue explores the interconnections among several specific themes that have recurred prominently throughout four decades of Nauman’s work. Linking the urban texture of Venice to the topological dimensions of his provocative art, the overarching project allows for an unprecedented occasion for the appreciation and exploration of Nauman’s undeniable creativity and influence.

Outside In Chinese x American x Contemporary x Art Jerome Silbergeld • With contributions by Dora C. Y. Ching, Michelle Lim, Cary Y. Liu, Gregory Seiffert and Kimberly Wishart The art world is currently enthralled with contemporary Chinese art. This thoughtful book argues, however, that American audiences have been exposed only to a narrow range of what is available—with the majority of exposure having been given to ‘avant-garde’, ‘experimental’ or politically charged art. Outside In discusses contemporary Chinese art in a far wider range of styles and subject matter and substantially expands on our understanding of this work. The book features six artists—Arnold Chang, Michael Cherney, Zhi Lin, Liu Dan, Vanessa Tran and Zhang Hongtu—all of whom are American citizens. In addition to extensive personal interviews and artists’ statements, there are essays that challenge the categorisation of art into focused genres.

Buriki Japanese Tin Toys from the Golden Age of the American Automobile Joe Earle Tin toys have been made in Japan for more than 100 years, but during World War II their production—and international sales—ended. Almost as soon as the war was over, ingenious manufacturers began to make model Jeeps out of recycled food cans. With the resumption of international trade in 1948, exports of more sophisticated metal toys soared. At the same time, the postwar boom in the United States led to an increasingly automobile-based society—the perfect inspiration for Japan’s gifted toy designers. As leading marques competed to market ever more seductively styled autos to U.S. consumers, Japanese toy manufacturers followed styling trends closely, retooling often to create miniature versions of the latest models. The Tanaka collection is a treasure-trove of more than 500 model vehicles, collected over the last 50 years.

56 Art Backstage Pass Rock & Roll Photography Preface by Greil Marcus • Glenn O’Brien, Anne Wilkes Tucker and Laura Levine Contributions by Thomas Andrew Denenberg and Kate Simon This striking collection of photographs features nearly every important figure in the world of rock & roll, from Elvis to Eric Clapton, the Beatles to Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix to John Coltrane. Many of the nearly one hundred images have rarely been published, and all reveal fascinating glimpses of celebrities off stage, away from the glare of the spotlights. Shot from the mid-fifties to the mid-nineties, the portraits often have a spontaneous, informal and everyday feel, and most record their subjects before they had become immensely famous—and well practised in posing for photographs. The more than fifty photographers who contribute to the volume are among the most talented in their field, including Lee Friedlander, Lynn Goldsmith, Bob Gruen and Mick Rock. Three original essays address topics suggested by the photographs. The authors discuss the coded nature of celebrity portraiture, the 1970s music scene in New York City, the frank sexuality of rock musicians and how the Beatles’ look evolved over time. This book will be treasured not only by fans of rock & roll music and admirers of photographic portraits, but also by those who remember the vanished time when photographers had genuine access to performers, and were a crucial element in the worlds they were documenting.

The Disappearance of Objects New York Art and the Rise of the Postmodern City Joshua Shannon In the years around 1960, a rapid process of deindustrialisation profoundly changed New York City. At the same time, massive highway construction, urban housing renewal and the growth of the financial sector altered the city’s landscape. As the new economy took shape, manufacturing lofts, piers and small shops were replaced by sleek high-rise housing blocks and office towers. Focusing on works by Claes Oldenburg, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Donald Judd, art historian Joshua Shannon shows how New York art engaged with this transformation of the city. Shannon convincingly argues that these four artists, all living amid the changes, filled their art with old street signs, outmoded flashlights and other discarded objects in a richly revealing effort to understand the economic and architectural transformation of their city. Joshua Shannon is assistant professor of contemporary art history and theory at the University of Maryland. March 240 pp. 254x178mm. 141 b/w + 48 colour illus. ISBN 978-0-300-13706-4 £40.00

Defining Urban Design CIAM Architects and the Formation of a Discipline, 1937–69 Eric Mumford In this meticulously researched book, Eric Mumford traces how members of the International Congress of Modern Architecture (CIAM), such as Walter Gropius, Josep Lluís Sert and their American associates, developed the discipline of urban design from the 1940s to the 1960s. Now widely known, this field has had significant influence in university departments and building projects around the world, but its roots in the urbanism of CIAM are not well understood. CIAM proposed a new type of architecture, one that drew on the strategies of both modern art and engineering to promote efficiency and rational city planning. Mumford challenges the idea that this modern urbanism only resulted in the clearing of historical neighbourhoods in favour of the public housing that would famously fail. Rather, Mumford argues, CIAM goals were instrumental in forming the field of urban design, and it was the rejection of these goals by politicians and bureaucrats, rather than their implementation, that led to the now familiar and lamentable results of urban renewal and metropolitan sprawl. Eric Mumford is associate professor of architecture and art history at Washington University in St. Louis. May 272 pp. 254x203mm. 86 b/w + 14 colour illus.

Art 57 Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Reconstructing Urban Landscapes Edited by Anita Berrizbeitia • Introduction by Paul Goldberger Contributions by Jane Amidon, Andrew Blum, Ethan Carr, Erik de Jong, Peter Fergusson, Rachel Gleeson, Linda Pollak and Elissa Rosenberg Instilling a poetics of place is a goal of Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (MVVA), the famous landscape design firm that has created successful public spaces in some of the most challenging urban sites. In these locations, nature offers not so much an escape from city living as a teasing dialogue with built structures. The whole experience is aimed, as critic Paul Goldberger notes, to “make you see everything, city and nature alike, with a striking intensity”. Richly illustrated and handsomely designed, this is the first publication to explore a wide range of MVVA’s projects, focusing on the firm’s trend towards sites requiring complex technological solutions. Leading critics and historians look at twelve projects, dating from 1992 to the present, and each posing a challenge—such as contamination, isolation and lengthy public approval proceedings. They explore the process through which the firm researches such issues and how solutions are embedded in the final aesthetics and spatial structure of the sites. Anita Berrizbeitia is an associate professor of landscape architecture at the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania. Paul Goldberger is an architecture critic for The New Yorker and the Joseph Urban Professor of Design and Architecture at The New School. June 320 pp. 254x279mm. 185 colour illus.

Art 59 Degas in the Norton Simon Museum Nineteenth-Century Art • Volume 2 Sara Campbell • Richard Kendall, Daphne Barbour, Shelley Sturman Edgar Degas was one of the first artists collected by the industrialist and art collector Norton Simon (1907–1993), as well as one of the last. In the short span of less than thirty years, Simon assembled one of the world’s most impressive private art collections, which included more than 100 examples by Degas. In late 1955, a few months after Simon began collecting, he acquired both a bronze sculpture and a pastel by Degas. In May 1983, towards the end of his collecting life, he purchased three Degas pastels at auction. In the three decades in between he bought and sold 131 examples of this extraordinary artist’s works. This comprehensive and beautiful book, a collections catalogue of the artworks by Edgar Degas housed in the Norton Simon Museum, offers not only a fascinating insight into the evolution of Simon’s extensive and remarkable Degas collection, but a descriptive and informative account of the current collection prepared by Degas scholars exceptionally qualified to write about the artist. The book is organised by the Museum’s Senior Curator, Sara Campbell. The 30 paintings and works on papaer are catalogued by renowned Degas scholar Richard Kendall. The Norton Simon Degas sculptures—unique foundry models cast directly from Degas’s wax originals—are the casts used by the foundry to reproduce all subsequent editions of Degas bronzes. These bronzes are catalogued by Daphne Barbour and Shelley Sturman, object conservators at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., home to the original waxes. Sara Campbell, curator of the Simon collections for almost 40 years, provides a history of Norton Simon’s interest in Degas, and an updated inventory of her 1995 catalogue raisonné of Degas’s bronze sculptures. The essay on Degas’s bronze casting written by Barbour and Sturman presents technical data discovered with the aid of measuring technology never previously used on Degas bronzes.

William Merritt Chase Landscapes in Oil Ronald G. Pisano • Completed by Carolyn K. Lane • With a chronology by D. Frederick Baker Admired for finding beauty in everyday surroundings, William Merritt Chase (1849–1916) brought an autobiographical element to his work, earning him a unique place in late-19th-century American art history. This book, the third of four volumes to document the complete works of Chase, traces his career as a landscape painter. Following Chase’s training in Munich in the 1870s and his many trips to Spain in the early 1880s, his works became light filled and colourful. These paintings anticipate Chase’s well-known park scenes of the 1880s painted in Brooklyn and New York and his 1890s works depicting the hills and shoreline adjacent to his home in Shinnecock Hills, Long Island, now recognised as being among the most important examples of American Impressionism. This book presents all of his known landscapes painted in oil, which include many of his best-loved works. Ronald G. Pisano, who was curator of the Heckscher Museum of Art and director of the Parrish Art Museum, researched and prepared the complete catalogue of Chase’s work for over thirty years before his untimely death in 2000.

Literature 61 Rosenfeld’s Lives Fame, Oblivion, and the Furies of Writing Steven J. Zipperstein Born in Chicago in 1918, the prodigiously gifted and erudite Isaac Rosenfeld was anointed a ‘genius’ upon the publication of his novel, Passage from Home and was expected to surpass even his closest friend and rival, Saul Bellow. Yet when felled by a heart attack at the age of thirty-eight, Rosenfeld had published relatively little, his life reduced to a metaphor for literary failure. In this deeply contemplative book, Steven Zipperstein seeks to reclaim Rosenfeld’s legacy by opening up his work. Zipperstein examines for the first time the small mountain of unfinished manuscripts the writer left behind, as well as his fiercely candid journals and letters. In the process, Zipperstein unearths a turbulent life that was obsessively grounded in a profound commitment to the ideals of the writing life. Rosenfeld’s Lives is a fascinating exploration of literary genius and aspiration, and the paradoxical power of literature to elevate and to A haunting study of the fascinating enslave. It illuminates the cultural and political tensions of post-war mind of Saul Bellow’s unjustly America, Jewish intellectual life of the era, and—most poignantly—the forgotten friend and literary rival struggle at the heart of any writer’s life.

Concentrating on six recurring prejudices in Shakespeare’s plays—such as misogyny, elitism, distrust of effeminacy and racism—Robert Brustein examines how Shakespeare and his contemporaries treated them. More than simply a thematic study, the book reveals a playwright constantly exploiting and exploring his own personal stances. These prejudices, Brustein finds, are not unchanging; over time they vary in intensity and treatment. Shakespeare is an artist who invariably reflects the predilections of his age, and yet almost always manages to transcend them. Brustein considers the whole of Shakespeare’s plays, from the early histories to the later romances, though he gives special attention to Hamlet, King Lear, Othello and The Tempest. Drawing comparisons to plays by Marlowe, Middleton and Marston, Brustein investigates how Shakespeare’s contemporaries were preoccupied with similar themes, A provocative look at Shakespeare and how these different artists treated the current prejudices in their in his age by one of our most own ways. Rather than confining Shakespeare to his age, this book has influential theatre critics the wonderful quality of illuminating both what he shared with his time and what is unique about his approach.

Literature/Performing Arts 63 Faulkner and Love The Women Who Shaped His Art Judith L. Sensibar This book is about the making of the writer William Faulkner. It is the first to inquire into the three most important women in his life—his black and white mothers, Caroline Barr and Maud Falkner and the childhood friend who became his wife, Estelle Oldham. In this new exploration of Faulkner’s creative process, Judith L. Sensibar discovers that these women’s relationships with Faulkner were not simply close; they gave life to his imagination. Sensibar brings to the foreground, as Faulkner did, this ‘female world’, an approach unprecedented in Faulkner biography. Through extensive research in untapped biographical sources, including archival materials and interviews with the women’s families and other members of the communities in which they lived, Sensibar transcends existing scholarship and reconnects Faulkner’s biography to his work. She demonstrates how the themes of race, tormented love and addiction that permeated his fiction, had their origins in his three defining relationships with women. Sensibar alters and enriches our understanding not only of Faulkner, his art and the complex world of the American South that came to life in his brilliant fiction, but also of darknesses, fears and unspokens that Faulkner unveiled in the American psyche. Judith L. Sensibar is professor emeritus, Department of English, Arizona State University. She is the author of The Origins of Faulkner’s Art, praised as a seminal work in Faulkner scholarship, and of numerous essays on Faulkner and other topics. May 624 pp. 234x156mm. 75 b/w illus.

The American Play 1787–2000 Marc Robinson In this brilliant study, Marc Robinson explores more than two hundred years of plays, styles and stagings of American theatre. Mapping the changing cultural landscape from the late 18th century to the start of the 21st, he explores how theatre has, and has not, changed and offers close readings of plays by O’Neill, Stein, Wilder, Miller and Albee, as well as by important but perhaps lesser known dramatists such as Wallace Stevens, Jean Toomer, Djuna Barnes and many others. Robinson reads each work in an ambitiously interdisciplinary context, linking advances in theatre to developments in American literature, dance and visual art. The author is particularly attentive to continuities in American drama, and expertly teases out recurring themes, such as the significance of visuality. He avoids neatly categorising 19th- and 20th-century plays and depicts a theatre more restive and mercurial than has been recognised before. Robinson proves both a fascinating and thought-provoking critic and a spirited guide to the history of American drama. Marc Robinson is professor of theatre studies, English, and American studies at Yale University and adjunct professor of dramaturgy and dramatic criticism at the Yale School of Drama. He is the author of The Other American Drama and a frequent contributor to theatre journals. June 384 pp. 234x156mm. 20 b/w illus. ISBN 978-0-300-11649-6 £30.00

64 Music/Performing Arts The Art of French Piano Music Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, Chabrier Roy Howat An essential resource for scholars and performers, this study by a world-renowned specialist illuminates the piano music of four major French composers, in comparative and reciprocal context. Howat explores the musical language and artistic ethos of this repertoire, juxtaposing structural analysis with editorial and performing issues. He also relates his four composers historically and stylistically to such predecessors as Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, the French harpsichord school, and Russian and Spanish music. Challenging long-held assumptions about performance practice, Howat elucidates the rhythmic vitality and invention inherent in French music. In granting Fauré and Chabrier equal consideration with Debussy and Ravel, he redresses a historic imbalance and reshapes our perceptions of this entire musical tradition. Outstanding historical documentation and analysis are supported by Howat’s direct references to performing traditions shaped by the composers themselves. The book balances accessibility with scholarly and analytic rigour, combining a lifetime’s scholarship with practical experience of teaching and the concert platform.
