But could we not also call it revenge? We are told that revenge is uncivilized and immoral, an impulse that individuals and societies should actively repress and replace with the order and codes of courtroom justice.

Recently, however, things have begun to shift in the other direction, and anthropologist Barbara J.

4 general interest The Complete Greek Tragedies, Third Edition Edited by DaviD GrEnE and richmonD LattimorE

Third Edition edited by Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most

ixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teach- Sers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides’s Medea, The Children of Heracles, Andromache, and Iphigenia among the Taurians, fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles’s satyr-drama The Trackers. New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.

David Grene (1913–2002) taught classics for many years at the University of Chicago. richmond Lattimore (1906–1984) was a poet and translator best known for his translations of the Greek classics, especially his versions of the Iliad and the Odyssey. mark Griffith is professor of classics and of theater, dance, and performance studies at the University of California, Berkeley. Glenn W. most is professor of ancient Greek at the Scuola Normale Superiore at Pisa and a visiting member of the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago.

CArL SmitH City Water, City Life Water and the Infrastructure of Ideas in Urbanizing Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago

city is more than a massing of citizens, a layout of buildings and streets, or an arrangement of political, economic, and A social institutions. It is also an infrastructure of ideas, an em- bodiment of the beliefs, values, and aspirations of the people who created it. In City Water, City Life, celebrated historian Carl Smith explores this infrastructure of ideas through an insightful examination of the development of the first successful waterworks systems in Philadelphia, “City Water, City Life is a gem of a book, a Boston, and Chicago between the 1790s and 1860s. tightly focused meditation on the antebel- In this period the United States began its rapid transformation lum city’s ‘infrastructure of ideas.’ By from rural to urban.

But City Water, City Life is more than a history of urbanization. It is also a refreshing meditation on water as a necessity, as a resource for commerce and industry, and as an essential—and central—part of how we define our civilization.

Carl Smith is the Franklyn Bliss Snyder Professor of English and American Studies and professor of history at Northwestern University. His books include three prize-winning volumes: Chicago and the American Literary Imagination, 1880–1920; Urban Disorder and the Shape of Belief: The Great Chicago Fire, the Haymarket Bomb, and the Model Town of Pullman; and The Plan of Chicago: Daniel Burnham and the Remaking of the American City, the latter two published by the University of Chicago Press.

culptor, architect, painter, playwright, and scenographer, Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680) was the last of the great universal Sartistic geniuses of early modern Italy, placed by both contemporaries and posterity in the same exalted company as Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo. And his artistic vision remains palpably present today, through the countless statues, fountains, and buildings that transformed Rome into the baroque theater that continues to enthrall tourists today. It is perhaps not surprising that this artist who defined the baroque should have a personal life that itself was, well, baroque.

s a color, black comes in no other shades: it is a single hue with no variation, one half of a dichotomy. But what it sym- A bolizes envelops the entire spectrum of meaning—good and bad. The Story of Black travels back to the biblical and classical eras to explore the ambiguous relationship the world’s cultures have had with this sometimes accursed color, examining how black has been used as a tool and a metaphor in a plethora of startling ways. John Harvey delves into the color’s problematic association with race, observing how white Europeans exploited the negative associations people had with the color to enslave millions of black Africans. He then looks at the many figurative meanings of black—for instance, JuNe 320 p., 50 color plates, 50 halftones the Greek word melancholia, or black bile, which defines our dark 6 x 9 ISBN-13: 978-1-78023-084-9 moods, and the ancient Egyptians’ use of black as the color of death, Cloth $39.95 Art History which led to it becoming the standard hue for funereal garb and the NsA clothing of priests, churches, and cults. Considering the innate austerity and gravity of black, Harvey reveals how it also became the color of choice for the robes of merchants, lawyers, and monarchs before gaining popularity with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century dandies and with goths and other subcultures today. Finally, he looks at how artists and designers have applied the color to their work, from the earliest cave paintings to Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Rothko. Asking how a single color can at once embody death, evil, and glamour, The Story of Black unearths the secret behind black’s continuing power to compel and divide us.

John Harvey is a novelist and critic. He has taught for the University of Cam- bridge English Faculty since 1974 and in 2000 became University Reader in Literature and Visual Culture. He is a Life Fellow of Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge. He is the author of Men in Black, also published by Reaktion Books.

118 reaktion books Carol Mavor Blue Mythologies Reflections on a Colour

zure, cobalt, cerulean, sapphire, indigo—these are the words for blue, a color that seems to overwhelm the other shades A of our world with its all-encompassing presence. It is used to calm and bring peace, and it can refer to depression—feeling blue— or symbolize loyalty and faithfulness—true blue. Blue is ubiquitous: the color of the sea, the sky, and even our veins, it also appears in our language, our politics, our music, and our national identities. But what does our relationship with this omnipresent color mean? In Blue My- thologies, Carol Mavor presents a multifaceted exploration of the color blue, stripping the hue of its familiarity and giving it new significance. JuNe 224 p., 58 color plates 6 x 9 ISBN-13: 978-1-78023-083-2 Mavor takes us from the blue of a newborn baby’s eyes to the films Cloth $35.00 of Derek Jarman and Krzysztof Kies´lowski, finding blue in science, Art History NsA religion, gender, sex, literature, and cinema. She regards its association with the Virgin Mary in Christianity, its coloring of the skin of the Hindi god Vishnu, and its use in Jewish garments as commanded by the Torah. She considers its status as the color for a baby boy, its use in slavery, and its manifestation in the natural world of birds and butterflies. Her thorough and engaging readings of these instances delve into blue’s meaning in our culture, revealing how it—paradoxically—is the color of optimism but also melancholy, heaven but also death by asphyxiation. At once historical, sociological, literary and visual, the beautifully illustrated Blue Mythologies gives us a fresh and contemplative look into the traditions, tales, and connotations of those somethings blue.

Before True Blood and Let the Right One In, there were Dark Shadows and Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. And then there is the most prominent of them all: Dracula, immortalized by Bram Stoker in 1897. Whether they’re evil, bloodsuck- ing monsters or sparkling like diamonds in the sunlight, vampires have been capturing our imagination since their modest beginnings in the rustic fantasies of southeastern Europe in the early eighteenth century. Today, they’re everywhere, appearing even in movies in Japan MArcH 224 p., 30 halftones 51/2 x 81/2 ISBN-13: 978-1-78023-110-5 and Korea and in reggae music in Jamaica and South Africa. Why have Cloth $25.00 vampires gone viral in recent years? History NsA In The Rise of the Vampire, Erik Butler seeks to explain our enduring fascination with the creatures of the night. Exploring why a being of humble origins has achieved success of such monstrous proportions, Butler considers the vampire in myth, literature, film, journalism, political cartoons, music, television, and video games. He describes how and why they have come to give expression to the darker side of human life—though vampires evoke age-old mystery, they also embody many of the uncertainties of the modern world. Butler also ponders the role global markets and digital technology have played in making vampires a worldwide phenomenon. Whether you’re a fan of classic vampire tales or new additions to the mythology, The Rise of the Vampire is a fascinating look at our collective obsession with the undead.

idel Castro had ruled the island of Cuba for fifty-two years when ill health forced him to step down in 2008. Over the F course of that time, he changed Cuba from a republic to a communist state and became one of the most divisive leaders in the second half of the twentieth century. For some, he is a champion of humanitarianism, socialism, and environmentalism. For others, he is a monster and dictator who perpetuated human rights abuses at home and abroad. Providing a rare, evenhanded account of Castro’s life, journalist Nick Caistor brings together interviews with people who have known Castro with discussion of the ideas that drove him.

rom Greece scrambling to meet Eurozone austerity measures to America’s sluggish job growth, there is every indication that the F world has not recovered from the economic implosion of 2008. And for many of us, the details of what led to the recession—and why it has continued—remain murky. Economic historian Larry Allen clears up the subject in The Global Economic Crisis, offering an insightful and nonpartisan chronology of events and their consequences. Illuminat- ing the interlocked economic processes that lay beneath the crisis, he MArcH 256 p. 51/2 x 81/2 ISBN-13: 978-1-78023-092-4 analyzes the changing nature of the global financial system, central Cloth $27.00 bank policies, housing bubbles, deregulation, sovereign debt crises, ecoNoMics NsA and more. Allen begins the timeline with the economic crisis in Japan in the late 1990s, asking whether Japan’s experience could be an indicator of the outcome of the recession and what it can teach us about managing a sluggish economy. He then takes a comparative look at the economies of Brazil, China, and India. Throughout, he argues that many elements have contributed to the ongoing crisis, including the introduction of the euro, the growth of new financial instruments such as securitization, collateralized debt obligations and credit default swaps, interest rate policies, and the housing boom and subprime mortgage fiasco. Lucid and informative, The Global Economic Crisis provides an impartial explanation to anyone seeking to understand the current state—and future—of the world’s economy.

ith her repulsive face and head full of living, venomous snakes, Medusa is petrifying—quite literally, since looking W directly at her turns people to stone. Ever since Perseus cut off her head and presented it to Athena, she has been a woman of many forms: a dangerous female monster that had to be destroyed, an erotic power that could annihilate men, and, thanks to Freud, a woman whose hair was a nest of terrifying penises that signaled castra- tion.

David Leeming seeks to answer this question in Medusa, a biography of the mythical creature. Searching for the origins of Medusa’s myth in cultures that predate ancient Greece, Leeming explores how and why the mythical figure of the gorgon has become one of the most important and enduring ideas in human history. From an oil painting by Caravaggio to Clash of the Titans and Dungeons and Dragons, he delves into the many depictions of Medusa, ultimately revealing that her story is a cultural dream that continues to change and develop with each new era. Asking what the evolution of the Medusa myth discloses about our culture and ourselves, this book paints an illuminating portrait of a figure who has never ceased to enthrall.

He examines how gifted crafts- men carefully sculpted neon advertisements, introducing elegance to modern metropolises during neon’s heyday between the wars followed by its subsequent popularity in Las Vegas during the 1950s and ’60s. Ribbat ends with a melancholy discussion of neon’s decline, describing how these glowing signs and installations came to be seen as dated and characteristic of run-down neighborhoods. From elaborate neon lighting displays to neglected diner signs with unlit letters, Flickering Light tells the engrossing story of how a glowing tube of gas took over the world—and faded almost as quickly as it arrived.

any of the world’s major cities sprang up on the banks of rivers. Used for water, food, irrigation, transportation, and Mpower, rivers sustain life and connect the world together, but most of us think of them simply as waterways that must be crossed on the way to another place. Using four European and two North American rivers as examples, A Story of Six Rivers considers the place of rivers in our world and emphasizes the inextricable links between history, culture, and ecology. April 352 p., 90 halftones 6 x 9 Peter Coates explores six rivers, chosen as examples of the types ISBN-13: 978-1-78023-106-8 Cloth $40.00 of rivers found on the planet: the Danube, the second-longest river in History NAture Europe; the Spree, which flows through Berlin; the Po, which cuts east- NsA ward across northern Italy; the Mersey in northwest England; the Yu- kon, which runs through Canada and Alaska; and the Los Angeles in California. Creating a series of river biographies, Coates gives voice to each of these bodies of water, exploring how rivers nurture us, provide cultural and economic opportunities, and pose threats to our everyday lives. He challenges recent narratives that paint rivers as the victims of abuse, pollution, and damage at the hands of humans, focusing on change rather than devastation. Describing how humans and rivers form a symbiotic—and sometimes mutually destructive—relationship, Coates argues that rivers illustrate the limits of human authority and that their capacity to inspire us is as strong as our ability to pollute them. An intimate portrait of the way these bodies of water inform our lives, A Story of Six Rivers will make us reconsider the streams and tribu- taries we traverse each day.

We visit them in zoos and even sometimes keep them as pets à la Catherine de Medici and Michael Jackson.

While we sometimes view monkeys as trivial or comic, their mischievousness is delightful, and their urge to explore and love of activity fascinate us. Monkey unpacks human attitudes toward these animals, tracing Animal our connection with them throughout history.

n 1900, Dutch art historians André Jolles and Aby Warburg constructed an experimental dialogue in which Jolles supposed I he had fallen in love with the figure of a young woman in a painting: “A fantastic figure—shall I call her a servant girl, or rather a classical nymph?—what is the meaning of it all—Who is the nymph?

n an unnamed African nation, the people are subject to a state of perpetual warfare and an Orwellian abuse of language that strips I away meaning and renders life senseless. And in a bare room lit only by moonlight, a young man hides, waiting for the mysterious crocodile-men to come and help him escape from the violent tyranny of the state.

When he meets a bookseller named Axis Kemal, however, he has found a surrogate father, an eccentric and wise man who can bring him out of the meaningless confusion and tell him the truth about the society in which he lives. Through his characters, Efoui speaks out against atrocity and the abuse of power, but more, he writes against political rhetoric and the destruction of meaning by government. This novel is a love letter to language and, in Chris Turner’s translation, it becomes a stunning introduction for English-language readers to an exciting new talent.

lose to death, an old man collapses and struggles to his bed. The sounds of the endless night unsettle him, triggering C images, questions, and memories. In What Darkness Was, Inka Parei, author of The Shadow-Boxing Woman, allows the reader to inhabit a singular German mind.

n the early 1930s, Ayii Tendulkar, a young journalist from a small town in Maharashtra, traveled to Germany to pursue a doctorate I in statistics. In Berlin, Ayii became a well-known journalist, and he met and fell in love with the renowned filmmaker Thea von Har- bou, the writer of the classic filmsMetropolis and M and former wife of legendary director Fritz Lang. They later married. In this unique account, Laxmi Tendulkar Dhaul—the daughter of Ayii and his third wife, Indumati Gunaji—traces the turbulent lives of her parents and that of Thea von Harbou against the backdrop of Zubaan Books Nazi Germany and Gandhi’s India.

Hitler’s rise to power put an end to that effort, and, on History iND Thea’s advice, Ayii returned to India, where the outspoken journalist became involved in Gandhi’s campaign of noncooperation with the British, and where, with Thea’s consent, he soon married Indumati, a Gandhian activist. Caught up in the whirlwind of Gandhi’s activism, Indumati and Ayii spent several years in Indian prisons, unable to live as a married couple until their release, managing thereby to comply with a condition Gandhi himself had put on their marriage—that they remain apart for several years. Using a wealth of documents, letters, newspaper articles, and photographs, including personal papers, Berlin to Gandhi weaves together the tangled histories of two women, the man they loved, and two countries battling violence and nonviolence, fascism and colonialism.

Self-Help Originally published in 1769, Domestic Medicine was produced for NAM the benefit of those without access to—or means to afford—medical assistance, and copies of the book were found in apothecaries and coffee houses, private households and clubs. In 1797, Bounty mutineer Fletcher Christian and his crew even had the foresight to pack a copy before fleeing to the Pitcairns. Derived from folklore and the emerging medical science of the day, some of Buchan’s recommendations for how to live a healthy life still ring true: for instance, exercising, enjoying a varied diet, and getting an abundance of fresh air. Others are delightfully dodgy or even downright dangerous, such as genital trusses, the prescription of mercury, or the suggestion that Spanish fly might soothe aching joints. Bringing together an exceedingly entertaining selection of entries from one of the earliest self-help books, Can Onions Cure Ear-ache? offers fascinating insight into the popular treatments of the time.

William Buchan (1729–1805) was a Scottish physician. Melanie King is the author of several books, including The Dying Game: A Curious History of Death and Prophets, Seers & Visionaries.

In a popular HuMor cHilDreN’s NAM self-portrait—later reproduced on a postage stamp—Lear even represented himself as a portly, bespectacled bird. Edward Lear’s Nonsense Birds collects more than sixty of Lear’s bird illustrations from across his entire body of work. Often, the birds have hilariously human characteristics. There is, for instance, a Good- Natured Grey Gull, a Hasty Hen, and a Querulous Quail. The Judi- cious Jay is chiefly concerned with good grooming. The Vicious Vul- ture, meanwhile, turns out to be a wordsmith whose verses on vellum celebrate veal. Each bird is endowed with a unique personality, while collectively they form a wonderfully amusing flock. Also included are a series of twenty-four hand-colored illustrations. Bright and beautifully illustrated, this book will make a perfect gift for children of all ages and will also be welcomed by all who love Lear’s work or are interested in learning more about his fascination with birds.

cutely aware of the changes affecting English at the end of the Victorian era, writer and journalist J. Redding Ware set A out to record words and turns of phrase from all walks of life, from the curses in common use by sailors to the rhyming slang of the street and the jargon of the theater dandies. In doing so, he extended the lifespan of words like “air-hole,” “lally-gagging,” and “bow-wow April 288 p. 5 x 73/4 ISBN-13: 978-1-85124-262-7 mutton.” Cloth $45.00s reFereNce First published in 1909 and reproduced here with a new introduc- NAM tion by Oxford English Dictionary editor John Simpson, Ware’s Victo- rian Dictionary of Slang and Phrase reflects the rich history of unofficial English. Many of the expressions are obsolete; one is not likely to have the misfortune of encountering a “parlour jumper.” Order a “shant of bivvy” at the pub and you’ll be met with a blank stare. But some of the entries reveal the origins of expressions still in use today, such as calling someone a “bad egg” to indicate that they are dishonest or of ill-repute. While showing the significant influence of American English on Victorian slang, the Dictionary also demonstrates how impressively innovative its speakers were. A treasure trove of everyday language of the nineteenth century, this book has much to offer in terms of insight into the intriguing history of English and will be of interest to anyone with a passion for words.

Whether swimming vigorously, gamboling amid the waves, attacking ships, or simply displaying themselves for our appreciation, the sea monsters that appear on medieval and Re- naissance maps are fascinating and visually engaging. Yet despite their appeal, these monsters have never received the scholarly attention that they deserve. In Sea Monsters on Medieval and Renaissance Maps, Chet Van Duzer analyzes the most important examples of sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps produced in Europe. Van Duzer begins with the earliest mappaemundi on which these monsters appear in the tenth century and continues to the end of the sixteenth century and, along the way, sheds important light on the sources, influences, and methods of the cartographers who drew or painted them. A beautifully designed visual reference work, Sea Monsters on Medi- eval and Renaissance Maps will be important not only in the history of cartography, art, and zoological illustration, but also in the history of the geography of the “marvelous” and of Western conceptions of the ocean.

british library 171 williaM stePHens HaywarD Revelations of a Lady Detective

n nineteenth-century London, middle-class women did not engage in what were seen as “unladylike activities.” There were many I jobs that a woman simply could not be expected to do because they were viewed as unsuitable for finer female sensibilities. The idea of a woman being involved in the murkiness of criminal detection must have seemed a radical and adventurous one in Victorian times: women simply did not do that sort of thing. And yet, in 1864, to the delight of men and women alike, two male authors published novels starring a female detective. MArcH 328 p. 51/4 x 71/2 ISBN-13: 978-0-7123-5896-5 William Stephens Hayward published Revelations of a Lady Detective Paper $15.00 just six months after Andrew Forrester’s The Female Detective (repub- Mystery NsA lished by the British Library in 2012), making Hayward’s the second novel ever published to feature a female detective. Hayward’s heroine, Mrs. Paschal, is a very different character from her predecessor, For- rester’s G. For a start, Mrs. Paschal is shown smoking on the front cover—an activity considered very modern and daring for women, even in the late nineteenth century. She is a widow, left close to financial ruin by the death of her husband, and supports herself through her detective work. This much racier female detective is however equally inventive, intuitive, and insightful, and with a Colt revolver in hand she works her way through a variety of cases involving theft, murder, and kidnapping. This very rare novel will be welcomed by all fans of Victorian crime fiction.

william stephens Hayward (1835–70) was a prolific author of Victorian “sensation” novels, historical novels, and stories for boys’ papers. His own life was not without scandal, and he spent several years in a debtors’ prison.

I Quentin decided to ask his aunt Virginia for a contribution: “It seemed stupid to have a real author so close at hand and not have her contribute.” But instead of an occasional contribution, Woolf joined forces with Quentin, and from 1923 until 1927, they created booklets JuNe 144 p., 40 color plates 51/2 x 81/2 of stories and drawings that were announced within the household as ISBN-13: 978-0-7123-5891-0 Cloth $18.00 Supplements. Written or dictated by Woolf and illustrated by Quentin, literAture these Supplements present a unique collaboration between the novelist NsA during her most prolific years and the child-painter. In Virginia Woolf, Quentin Bell found not only a professional author and an experienced journalist, but, above all, a close companion and conspirator who shared his irreverence and, more often than not, his mischievous sense of humor. The Supplements are transcribed in full here for the first time alongside forty of Bell’s original illustrations. The articles describe the escapades of family members, household servants, and associates of the Bloomsbury Group, leaving nobody unscathed by the sharp wit of aunt and nephew. Designed to tease the adults, they portray Blooms- bury eccentricities along with the foibles and mishaps of the residents and visitors at Charleston. This is the first time the Supplements have been published since they were written, and the book will be welcomed by fans of Woolf and her circle.

erhaps at no other time in Western history have animals played such a dominant role in the visual and literary arts as they did Pduring the Middle Ages. Animals were prevalent and essential in all aspects of medieval life, and as a result, they were employed by artists for a variety of purposes: to illustrate saint’s lives, populate farm scenes, act as characters in fables, and even crawl among the very letters forming the text. And while artists used a host of animals, both real and fantastic, for these purposes, one of the most popular animals was man’s best friend.

Among the themes explored in the accompanying text are the roles of the medieval dog, dog breeds, dogs and saints, the names of dogs, canine faithfulness, veterinary care of dogs, dog feeding, the mourning of dogs and burial practices, and medieval poetry about dogs, with translations of some short poems included here.

NsA First published in the mid-eighteenth century, The Old Man’s Guide to Health and Longer Life is a lifestyle guide to longevity and good health for old men. Written in an age when the majority of the population didn’t live to see their fortieth birthday, Hill’s book provides practical advice on diet, exercise, and lifestyle, including sleep and emotional health, as well as illuminating insight into the thinking on health and longevity in the mid-eighteenth century. Some of the more prescriptive advice has the hysterical tone expected from eighteenth-century guides and manuals—“The pine-apple, the most pleasant of all fruit, is the most dangerous.”—but more surprising is how full of genuinely good advice the book is and how much of it reads like modern-day health literature. This includes such insightful sayings as: “A warm bath and a glass of wine if you are having difficulty getting to sleep”; “Use medicines only as a last resort—address diet and lifestyle first to resolve illness”; and “Quiet, good humour, and complacency of temper will prevent half the diseases of old people; and cure many of the others.” Full of both sage wisdom and what now seem ridiculous regimens, The Old Man’s Guide to Health and Longer Life will be the perfect gift for a man of more mature years.

Cloth $65.00 Art Through more than two hundred paintings, Nordic Art tells the cMusA story of this important period. In conversation with both Scandinavian culture and the contemporary art of the time, turn-of-the-century artists developed distinctly Nordic interpretations of realism, impressionism, and symbolism. The book focuses on the transitions between these forms of expression, as well as the impact of Nordic art on mainstream European art. Featuring works by well-known artists, including Carl Larsson, Edvard Munch, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, and Vilhelm Hammershøi, the book also introduces artists from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland whose contributions, though crucial, may be less familiar to international audiences. With Nordic Art, David Jackson offers the first comprehensive look at this critical period of cultural development in the Nordic countries and the extraordinary art that arose during this time.

Though there is cMusA no evidence that Caillebotte practiced photography, he took an early interest in the art form, influenced perhaps by his brother, the photographer Martial Caillebotte.

With works like Echo and Red With Red, she explores the spatial effects of color, creating geometric patterns throughout her compositions that convey movement and three- dimensionality that change according to the viewer’s position. Riley also began to incorporate curves into her work in the form of radiant, rhythmic lines and arches that seem to make the surface of these paintings vibrate. This book collects nearly fifty of Riley’s best-known works from the past three decades, including paintings, gouaches, and a series of studies. Renowned experts Michael Bracewell, Éric de Chas- sey, Lucius Grisebach, and Robert Kudielka provide critical commentary to these works, which are also accompanied by an interview with the artist by Michael Harrison.

The book also brings together for the first time all of von Huene’sMind Maps, a series of meticulous compositions of images and words. In addition to illustrating how von Huene conceived of his sculptures, the Mind Maps series also reveals the artist’s keen interest in contemporary communications theory and the technical side of sound, both of which were central to the social function of his work.

FAsHioN uscA Dressing the Queen reveals the careful planning and preparation that went into the Queen’s wardrobe for the Diamond Jubilee, the first such celebration since that of Queen Victoria in 1897 and made all the more momentous by London’s hosting of the 2012 Olympics. The secret to the Queen’s unfailing style is royal couturier Angela Kelly, whose team of dressmakers and milliners spent two years designing and bringing to fruition the creations seen in the events leading up to and during the Diamond Jubilee, as well as at the Olympics. In addition to presenting the right image, the Queen’s clothing must address a great many practical concerns—and all of her garments must be pris- tinely maintained. Of course, no outfit is complete without the perfect hat, and a chapter of the book is devoted entirely to their intricate and highly detailed creation. Whether the day holds a historic state visit or an afternoon at Royal Ascot, the Queen commands attention wherever she appears. If you’ve ever wondered how she maintains such impeccable personal style, this well-illustrated book will answer that question and many more. angela kelly is the personal assistant, adviser, and curator to Queen Elizabeth II. She designed and created many of the outfits worn by the Queen throughout the year of the Diamond Jubilee.

We’re all familiar with the stockings, voluminous breeches, and uscA elaborate lace ruffs, but did you know that the clothing seen in many of these paintings cost more than the paintings themselves? For In Fine Style, Anna Reynolds, curator of paintings at the Royal Collection, has drawn on the art of the period, as well as wardrobe inventories, literary references, contemporary accounts, and surviving garments to offer a fascinating account of the elite fashions of the day and the ways in which they were recreated in paint. The gold threads seen throughout the forepart of Elizabeth’s gown were costly, while the red dye that colored it came from crushed beetles and would have had to have been imported from Spain. Other works show their subjects with intricate ruffs, bright stockings, or broad farthingales, each item extravagantly adorned. Indeed, the main focus of Tudor and Stuart clothing was on rich materials that communicated the ability of the wearer to afford them, and, with the rise of the moneyed merchant class, sumptuary laws were established to limit their use to the nobility. Other forms of attire, including ornate hairdos held in place with wire and pleats that had to be set each time the garment was worn left absolutely no doubt as to the fact that the wearer had an army of servants and a wealth of spare time with which to attend to appearance. Published to accompany an exhibition that will open at Bucking- ham Palace in May, In Fine Style features works by, among many others, Rembrandt, Rubens, Lely, and Holbein, and is the first book to examine Tudor and Stuart fashion through the use of art.

ndré Thomkins (1930–85) was a renowned draftsman, painter, and word artist who combined a classic mastery of A artistic media with a sense of whimsy and experimentation influenced by both surrealism and Dadaism. In the 1950s, Thomkins created what he called “Lackskins” by applying gloss paint to water.

With great care and genuine curiosity Thomkins Art manipulated the color on the top of the water and created what he uk/eu described as “something planetary, very light, and fluctuating.” Each piece combines the calculation of a watchful artist with the spontaneity of water in motion, resulting in works that are intoxicating but distant, colorful but unknowable. These pieces foreshadowed the later chro- matic abstract paintings of younger generations. Published to coincide with an exhibition of the Lackskins in the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur, André Thomkins—Lackskins is the first comprehensive presentation of these works. Stylish and well-crafted, the book includes images of the Lackskins along with scholarship on Thomkins contributed by art historians. Thomkins’s own writing on the process and theory behind the Lackskins is also collected in this volume.

In this beautifully illustrated volume, Contributors Alexander Eisenschmidt and Jonathan Mekinda have brought together rem koolhaas, sanford kwinter, a diverse pool of curators, artists, architects, historians, critics, and Greg lynn, and many more theorists to produce a multifarious portrait of the Second City. Looking at events as far back as the 1933 exhibition Early Modern Architecture in Chicago, Chicagoisms is remarkable for the breadth of its May 192 p., 90 color plates, 50 halftones 61/2 x 11 topics and the depth of its essays. From more abstract ventures like ISBN-13: 978-3-906027-15-9 Cloth $39.00 tracking the boom-and-bust cycle of Chicago’s commitment to archi- arChiteCture tecture and the influence of the Chicago grid system on Mies van der uK/eu Rohe, to more straightforward studies of the “Americanization” of Berlin, the editors have chosen essays that convey the complex and varied history and culture of Chicago’s architecture. More than simply an architectural biography of the city, Chicagoisms shows Chicago to have an important role as a catalyst for international development and pinpoints its remarkable influence around the world. The contributors explore topics as diverse as Daniel Burnham’s vision and OMA’s student center for the Illinois Institute of Technology and show them to all be indelibly products of Chicago.

Alexander Eisenschmidt teaches at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s School of Architecture. Jonathan Mekinda is an architectural historian and visiting assistant professor in the Department of Art History at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Poor construction techniques and a lack of funding for conservation mean that these buildings are rapidly decaying. The Vienna Centre of Architecture (Az W) is creating a comprehensive inventory of the notable architecture from fourteen different former Soviet republics. The volume begins with an introduction to the period and an overview of the relationship between Moscow and the other city centers found in the region. The book is then organized geographically into four chapters: the Baltic states, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. Each country is represented by a fact sheet, which gives a brief account of its national history, a research and travel report by a member of Az W, and a scholarly essay by a local expert. More than four hundred buildings are represented in over eight hundred images, making Soviet Modernism 1955–1991 impressively complete and stunningly illustrated. Essays outside the country pro- files cover topics such as Soviet urban planning and typologies found throughout these regions.

The Vienna centre of Architecture (Az W) is a publicly funded institution with the mission to present and document modern and contemporary Austrian and international architecture. Since its opening in 1993, Az W has gained international recognition for its work and exhibitions.

And how, in turn, does this often hypocritical distinction determine society? Film, argues Carl Freedman, is an especially fruitful medium for considering questions like these. With Versions of Hollywood Crime Cine- ma, he offers a series of critical readings spanning several genres. From among the mob movies, Freedman focuses on Francis Ford Coppola’s Godfather trilogy—arguably the foremost work of crime cinema—craft- ing a convincing argument that the plot’s action is principally driven by the shift from Sicily to America, which marks the shift to a capitalist society. Turning his attention to other genres, Freedman also looks at film noir and Westerns, in addition to films for which crime is significant but not central, from horror movies like Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining to science fiction and social realist films likeThe Grapes of Wrath. In recent years, television has welcomed innovative works like Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, and The Sopranos, and Freedman discusses how television’s increasingly congenial creative environment has allowed it to turn out productions whose ability to engage with these larger social questions rivals that of films from the height of cinema’s Golden Age.

With a blend of wisdom and wit, Why Would Anyone Wear That? explores extreme fashions from around the world. The Victorian era was by no means alone in strange sartorial choices. Throughout history, men and women have turned to clothing and accessories to adorn and accentuate parts of the body. Some of the fashions, like bloomers, were surprisingly functional. Others, like powdered wigs and hobble skirts, were inconvenient and uncomfortable. And a few particularly painful practices could even permanently disfigure the wearer, like brass coils worn in Burma to lengthen the neck and the custom of binding of women’s feet to fit tiny lotus slippers in Song dynasty China. Presenting dozens of the most peculiar fashions, including shoes, hats, jewelry, undergarments, and outerwear, the book provides insightful commentary, placing the garments and accessories in the proper historical, social, and cultural context. If you’ve ever wondered why the codpiece was created or the leisure suit went out of style, this book will answer that question and many more. Fully illustrated and packed with fun facts, Why Would Anyone Wear That? introduces readers to the fascinating stories behind some of the world’s weirdest fashions. celia E. stall-Meadows is professor of fashion marketing and the author of Fashion Now: A Global Perspective and Know Your Fashion Accessories.

But how does a Balenciaga bag or a uK/eu tough leather jacket topped by liberty spikes signify these things? Fashion in Popular Culture considers this question. Combining fashion theory with approaches from literature, art, advertising, music, media studies, material studies, and sociology, contributors from across Europe, Australia, and the United States consider the function of fashion within popular culture. Fashion, they show, has the capacity to both influence and be influenced by popular culture, and its meaning is also contingent upon context. Chapters in the book cover both historical and contemporary concerns, addressing a variety of other questions, including the role fashion plays in subcultures. For students and scholars of fashion and popular culture—or anyone fascinated by what clothing can convey—Fashion in Popular Culture offers an engaging, interdisciplinary analysis.

In A Pre-Raphaelite Journey, art historian and theorist Pamela Gerrish February 96 p., 50 color plates 8 x 10 ISBN-13: 978-1-84631-857-3 Nunn sets out to reestablish Fortescue-Brickdale as the important Paper $39.95s art and fascinating figure in Western art that she was, offering the first nam dedicated book on her art and life in a biography peppered with fifty stunning color plates. Living and working during the tremendous cultural changes in Britain and Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century, Fortes- cue-Brickdale represents a powerful bridge between the Victorian and modern worlds. She was heavily influenced by the pre-Raphaelite artists, whose love of detail, color, symbolism, and nature set a hallmark aesthetic for Victorian British culture. Indeed, she became known as “the last pre-Raphaelite,” particularly as an artist who drew from major literary figures, from Shakespeare to Tennyson, retelling their stories through her paintings and illustrations. Employing extensive research and the knowledge acquired over a long career studying Victorian art, Nunn takes readers and viewers on a journey through Fortescue-Brickdale’s development—her training, career, and the achievements that should leave a lasting mark on art history.

Pamela Gerrish Nunn was professor of art history and theory at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. She is the author of several books, including, most recently, From Victorian to Modern: Innovation and Tradition in the Work of Gwen John, Vanessa Bell and Laura Knight.

274 Liverpool University Press Edited by S. J. ConnoLLy Belfast 400 People, Place and History

arking the four-hundredth anniversary of Belfast’s foundation, Belfast 400 offers a new history of one of the world’s Mmost fascinating—and misunderstood—cities. Drawing on a wide range of research by several scholars, S. J. Connolly shows how Belfast grew to become a place of contested identity and economics and why it would become one of the main theaters of Irish independence and the many violent events that would define it. Belfast and its history are full of contradictions. It was a significant part of Great Britain’s rise to industrial greatness, but it is located not February 392 p., 88 color plates, 107 halftones 71/2 x 93/4 on the island of Great Britain, but in Ireland.

An important part european history of the history of Ireland and the United Kingdom both, Belfast has nam never fit neatly into the accepted narrative of either. Belfast 400 gets beneath these complexities by raising crucial questions at every post along its history. Why, with its seemingly unfavor- able position—a waterlogged river mouth—did it become one of the first human settlements in the area? How did it evolve from a minor outpost to a major city, and how did it expand into one of the world’s largest centers of shipbuilding and textile manufacturing? What did this industrial development and the eventual decline of manufacturing mean for the people who lived there? Finally, how can Belfast—still managing fraught political relationships between its own citizens— redefine its identity and face the new challenges of the twenty-first century? By raising these and many other questions, Belfast 400 sheds new light on one of the most complex cities in northern Europe.

S. J. Connolly is professor of Irish history and director of research at Queen’s University Belfast.

or everyone from kids to adults, there is no greater pleasure than the summer vacation, the chance to pack our suitcases F and escape from workaday life and domestic chores. But the American idea of travel for relaxation is actually a relatively modern concept, made possible by the construction of the railroad network and the rise of the middle class, which brought with it the time and money to afford travel. With the rise of leisure travel in the late nineteenth century came the rise of the tourist destination, resort towns ca- tering specifically to the needs and desires of this new kind of traveler. Up North looks specifically at the history of two such resort communities on the shores of Lake Huron in Michigan. Like the Hamp- tons that lure New Yorkers and the Lake Michigan beaches that attract may 224 p., 80 halftones, 5 tables, 1 map 6 x 9 Chicagoans, the communities along Lake Huron were a hot spot of ISBN-13: 978-1-883982-74-4 Paper $23.95/£15.50 summer fun for thousands of St. Louisans. Focusing on the heyday of histoRy Lake Huron beaches between 1880 and 1950, Up North brings together local newspaper columns from the time and excerpts from letters and diaries to paint a vivid portrait of life at these summer resorts. Douglas Scott Brookes’s family vacationed along the Lake Huron beaches for generations, and in this book he weaves together his family’s experiences with the larger story of the rise of vacationing in America. He examines why summer vacations became popular in the era, and he seeks to explain what kept tourists coming back, often to the same place year after year, establishing family traditions. A fascinating perspective on the history of leisure travel in America, Up North celebrates our common need to get away from the humdrum, and it will be welcome reading for all of us daydreaming of crystalline lakeshores.

A native of St. Louis, douglas scott Brookes is a writer on Middle Eastern history and a translator from Turkish. He is also the author of The Concubine, the Princess, and the Teacher: Voices from the Ottoman Harem.
