Wellington
The Path to Victory, 1769–1814
Rory Muir
The Duke of Wellington was Britain’s greatest soldier, whose victories
turned the tide of Napoleon’s conquests and played a crucial role in his
downfall. Wellington went on to be a major figure in British politics,
twice serving as Prime Minister. Often the centre of controversy, he was
at times feted and celebrated as a national hero, at others reviled in the
press and abused in the streets. He was a far more complicated man
than the paragon of virtue celebrated by Victorian biographers.
Rory Muir’s masterly new biography, the first of a two volume set, is
the result of thirty years research into the Duke of Wellington and his
times. The author brings Wellington into much sharper focus than ever
before, critically examining every aspect of his life from his unhappy
childhood, his baptism into British and Irish politics and his
remarkable successes in India, to the setbacks and triumphs of the
Peninsular War. This is the first biography to address the significance of
Wellington’s political connections and the way they both helped and
hindered his campaigns. The work also gives fresh insight into
Wellington’s character: his many strengths and the flaws that together
made him a complex and interesting man as well as a great soldier.
Rory Muir is visiting research fellow, University of Adelaide.
His previously published books include a highly praised study of
Wellington’s great triumph at Salamanca and the edited letters of
Alexander Gordon, Wellington’s confidential aide-de-camp.

The Leonard Bernstein Letters
Edited by Nigel Simeone
Leonard Bernstein was a charismatic and versatile musician – a brilliant
conductor who attained international superstar status, and a gifted
composer of Broadway musicals (West Side Story), symphonies (Age of
Anxiety), choral works (Chichester Psalms), film scores (On the
Waterfront) and much more. Bernstein was also an enthusiastic letter
writer, and this book is the first to present a wide-ranging selection of
his correspondence. The letters have been selected for the insights they
offer into the passions of his life – musical and personal – and the
extravagant scope of his musical and extra-musical activities.
Bernstein’s letters tell much about this complex man, his collaborators,
his mentors and others close to him. His galaxy of correspondents
encompassed, among others, Aaron Copland, Stephen Sondheim,
Jerome Robbins, Thornton Wilder, Boris Pasternak, Bette Davis,
Adolph Green, Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, and family members
including his wife Felicia and his sister Shirley. The majority of these
letters have never been published before. They have been carefully
chosen to demonstrate the breadth of Bernstein’s musical interests, his
constant struggle to find the time to compose, his turbulent and
complex sexuality, his political activities and his endless capacity for
hard work. Beyond all this, these writings provide a glimpse of the man
behind the legends: his humanity, warmth, volatility, intellectual
brilliance, wonderful eye for descriptive detail and humour.
‘What terrifying letters you write: fit for the flames is what they are.
Just imagine how much you would have to pay to retrieve such a
letter forty years from now when you are conductor of the
Philharmonic.’ – Aaron Copland to Bernstein in 1940

A Little History of Literature
John Sutherland
This ‘little history’ tackles a very big subject: the glorious span of
literature from Greek myth to graphic novels, from The Epic of
Gilgamesh to Harry Potter. John Sutherland is perfectly suited to the
task, having taught and written on every area of literature. His
infectious passion for books and reading has defined his own life. Now
he guides young readers and adults alike on an entertaining journey
revealing how literature from across the world can transport us and
help us to make sense of what it means to be human.
Sutherland introduces great classics in his own irresistible way, enlivening
his offerings with humour as well as learning: Beowulf, Shakespeare, Don
Quixote, the Romantics, Dickens, Moby Dick, The Waste Land, Woolf,
1984 and dozens of others. He adds to these a less-expected, personal
selection of authors and works, including literature usually considered
well below ‘serious attention’ – from the rude jests of Anglo-Saxon runes
to The Da Vinci Code. With masterful digressions into various themes –
censorship, narrative tricks, self-publishing, taste, creativity and madness
– Sutherland demonstrates the full depth and intrigue of reading.
John Sutherland is Lord Northcliffe Professor Emeritus of Modern
English Literature, University College London. A trenchant critic and
columnist, he has taught students at every level and is the author or
editor of more than 20 books, including Is Heathcliff a Murderer? and
Lives of the Novelists: A History of Fiction in 294 Lives.

Susan Sontag
The Complete Rolling Stone Interview
Jonathan Cott
Susan Sontag, one of the most internationally renowned and
controversial intellectuals of the latter half of the 20th century, still
provokes. In 1979, Jonathan Cott, a founding contributing editor of
Rolling Stone magazine, interviewed Sontag first in Paris and later in
New York. Only a third of their many hours of discussion ever made it
to print. Now, more than three decades later, Yale is proud to publish
the entire transcript of Sontag’s remarkable conversation, accompanied
by Cott’s preface and recollections.
Sontag’s musings and observations reveal the passionate engagement
and breadth of her critical intelligence and curiosities at a moment
when she was at the peak of her powers. Nearly a decade after her
death, these hours of conversation offer a revelatory and indispensable
look at the self-described ‘besotted aesthete’ and ‘obsessed moralist’.
Sontag proclaims a personal credo, declaring: ‘Thinking is a form of
feeling; feeling is a form of thinking’.
Jonathan Cott is the author of numerous books, including most
recently Days That I’ll Remember: Spending Time with John Lennon
and Yoko Ono.
Susan Sontag gained immediate prominence with the publication of
her first book of essays, Against Interpretation, in 1966. She went on to
write many more books, including On Photography and Illness as
Metaphor which were translated into more than two dozen languages.
She died in December, 2004.

Friendship
A. C. Grayling
A central bond, a cherished value, a unique relationship, a profound
human need, a type of love. What is the nature of friendship, and what
is its significance in our lives? How has friendship changed since the
ancient Greeks began to analyse it, and how has modern technology
altered its very definition? In this fascinating exploration of friendship
through the ages, one of the most thought-provoking philosophers of
our time tracks historical ideas of friendship, gathers a diversity of
friendship stories from the annals of myth and literature, and provides
unexpected insights into our friends, ourselves and the role of
friendships in an ethical life.
A. C. Grayling roves the rich traditions of friendship in literature,
culture, art and philosophy, bringing into his discussion familiar pairs
as well as unfamiliar – Achilles and Patroclus, David and Jonathan,
Coleridge and Wordsworth, Huck Finn and Jim. Grayling lays out
major philosophical interpretations of friendship, then offers his own
take, drawing on personal experiences and an acute awareness of vast
cultural shifts that have occurred. With penetrating insight he addresses
internet based friendship, contemporary mixed gender friendships, how
friendships may supersede family relationships, one’s duty within
friendship, the idea of friendship to humanity and ultimately the
universal value of friendship.
A. C. Grayling is founder and master, New College of the Humanities,
London. A multi-talented and prolific author, he has written over thirty
books on philosophy and other subjects while regularly contributing to
The Times, Financial Times, Observer, Literary Review and other
publications. He is also a frequent and popular contributor to radio

Jonathan Swift
His Life and His World
Leo Damrosch
Jonathan Swift is best remembered today as the author of Gulliver’s
Travels, the satiric fantasy that quickly became a classic and has
remained in print for nearly three centuries. Yet Swift also wrote many
other influential works, was a major political and religious figure in his
time, and became a national hero, beloved for his fierce protest against
English exploitation of his native Ireland. What is really known today
about the enigmatic man behind these accomplishments? Can the facts
of his life be separated from the fictions?
In this deeply researched biography, Leo Damrosch draws on
discoveries made over the past thirty years to tell the story of Swift’s life
anew. Probing holes in the existing evidence, he takes seriously some
daring speculations about Swift’s parentage, love life, and various
personal relationships and shows how Swift’s public version of his life –
the one accepted until recently – was deliberately misleading. Swift
concealed aspects of himself and his relationships, and other people in
his life helped to keep his secrets.
Assembling suggestive clues, Damrosch re-narrates the events of Swift’s
life while making vivid the scents, sounds, and smells of his English
and Irish surroundings.Through his own words and those of a wide
circle of friends, a complex Swift emerges: a restless, combative,
empathetic figure, a man of biting wit and powerful mind, and a major
figure in the history of world letters.
Leo Damrosch is Ernest Bernbaum Professor of Literature at Harvard
University. He is the author of nine books, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau:
Restless Genius and most recently Tocqueville’s Discovery of America.

Faisal I of Iraq
Ali A. Allawi
Born in 1885, King Faisal I of Iraq was a great figure not only in the
founding of the state of Iraq but also in the making of the modern
Middle East. In all the tumult leading to the dissolution of the
Ottoman Empire and the establishment of new Arab states, Faisal was a
central player. His life traversed each of the important political, military
and intellectual developments of his times.
This major life is the first to provide a fully rounded picture of Faisal
the man and Faisal the monarch. Ali A. Allawi recounts the dramatic
events of Faisal’s life and provides a reassessment of his crucial role in
developments in the pre- and post-World War I Middle East and of his
lasting but underappreciated influence in the region even 80 years after
his death.
A battle-hardened military leader who, with the help of Lawrence of
Arabia, organised the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire; the
leading representative of the Arab cause at the Paris Peace Conference
of 1919; a founding father and king of the first independent state of
Syria; and championed by Gertrude Bell and Lawrence, the first king
of Iraq – in his many roles Faisal overcame innumerable crises and
opposing currents while striving to build the structures of a modern
state. This book is the first to afford his contributions to Middle East
history the attention they deserve.
Ali A. Allawi is research professor, National University of Singapore.
He was appointed Iraq’s first postwar civilian Minister of Defense in
2004 and in 2005 was appointed Minister of Finance. This is his third

The Experience of God
Being, Consciousness, Bliss
David Bentley Hart
Despite recent ferocious public debate about the likelihood of the
existence of God, the most central concept in such arguments remains
strangely obscure. What is God? Are those engaged in the debate all
talking about the same thing? In this beautifully written contribution to
reasoned discussion, a revered religious thinker clarifies how the word
‘God’ functions in various religious traditions. Ranging broadly across
Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Vedantic and Bhaktic Hinduism, Sikhism,
various paganisms, Buddhism and Taoism, David Hart explores how
the world’s major theistic traditions treat divine mysteries. One cannot
fail to notice, he contends, that on a host of philosophical issues, and
especially the issue of divine transcendence, areas of accord among the
great faiths are vast.
Hart takes pointed issue with those who refute ideas they have not even
examined with care and with simplistic assertions designed to mislead.
He demolishes modern aetheist arguments, including the blatant
misconception of God as puppeteer, as well as the fundamentalist view
of the Bible as an objective record of historical data. Instead, the author
plumbs the depths of humanity’s experience of the world as powerful
evidence for the reality of God. Offering a bold corrective to careless or
incoherent treatments of his subject, Hart captures the beauty and
poetry of traditional reflection upon the divine.
David Bentley Hart is an Eastern Orthodox theologian, philosopher,
writer and cultural commentator. He is the author of Atheist Delusions:

Earthly Mission
The Catholic Church and World Development
Robert Calderisi
With 1.2 billion members, the Catholic Church is the world’s largest
organisation and perhaps its most controversial. The Church’s obstinacy
on matters like clerical celibacy, the role of women, birth control, and
the child abuse scandal has alienated many Catholics, especially in the
West. Yet in Africa, Asia and Latin America, the Church is highly
esteemed for its support of education, health and social justice.
Author of the bestselling The Trouble with Africa, Robert Calderisi has
travelled through Africa, Asia and Latin America, talking to cardinals in
the hallowed halls of the Vatican, nuns staffing clinics in grimy squatter
settlements in Latin America and priests struggling to speak up for
poor people in Africa – not to mention local and Western critics of the
Church’s work. In this absorbing and deeply informed book, he
explores the tensions within the Church – complicity with genocide in
Rwanda and dictatorship in Argentina versus the defence of human
rights in Brazil and El Salvador, the refusal until very recently to
countenance condom use in Africa versus determined support for girls’
education. This is a fascinating, often eye-opening investigation that
will engross readers of all faiths and none.
Robert Calderisi, a former World Bank economist concerned with
issues of international development, lectures widely on Africa,
development and foreign aid. His book The Trouble with Africa was
named one of the best books of 2006 by The Economist. A committed
but by no means uncritical Catholic, the author has often differed with
Church policies.

Life, Death and Growing Up
on the Western Front
Anthony Fletcher
This book was inspired by the author’s discovery of an extraordinary
cache of letters from a soldier who was killed on the Western Front
during the First World War. The soldier was his grandfather, and the
letters had been tucked away, unread and unmentioned for many
decades. Intrigued by the heartbreak and history of these family letters,
Fletcher sought out the correspondence of other British soldiers who
had volunteered for the fight against Germany. This resulting volume
offers a vivid account of the physical and emotional experiences of
seventeen British soldiers whose letters and one diary survive. Drawn
from different regiments, social backgrounds, and areas of England and
Scotland, they include twelve officers and five Tommies.
The book explores the training, journey to France, fear, shellshock, and
life in the trenches as well as the leisure, love and home leave the
soldiers dreamed of. Fletcher discusses the psychological responses of
18- and 19-year-old men facing appalling realities and considers the
particular pressures of those who survived their fallen comrades. While
acknowledging the horror and demands for endurance these soldiers
experienced, the author shows another side to the story, focusing new
attention on the loyal comradeship, robust humour, and strong morale
that uplifted the men at the Front and created a powerful bond among
them.
Anthony Fletcher is a historian of the early modern period. He is a
former professor at the Universities of Sheffield, Durham, Essex and

Buckley’s provocative history demonstrates that the British Army was

This fascinating revisionist history of the campaign to liberate
Northern Europe in the war’s final years features a large cast of

Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery and the prime minister, Sir

Shadows of the Past
Catriona Kelly
Fragile, gritty and vital to an extraordinary degree, St Petersburg is one
of the world’s most alluring cities – a place in which the past is at once

familiar with the city’s pre-1917 and Second World War history than

In this beautifully illustrated and highly original book, Catriona Kelly
shows how creative engagement with the past has always been
fundamental to St Petersburg’s residents. Weaving together oral history,
personal observation, literary and artistic texts, journalism and archival
materials, she traces the at times paradoxical feelings of anxiety and
pride that were inspired by living in the city, both when it was socialist
Leningrad, and now. Ranging from rubbish dumps to promenades,
from the city’s glamorous centre to its grimy outskirts, this ambitious
book offers a compelling and always unexpected panorama of an
extraordinary and elusive place.

This is not a memoir. It does not take the form of a story. It is instead

Svetlana Alpers had been keeping files: records of what she saw out the
windows of her loft in New York; records of art sold, bought or seen on

where she lived; and records of herself seen in photographs, drawings
and paintings made by others. In solving the question of her father’s
place and date of birth, she reconstructs the life of her Russian
grandfather in a distant and tumultuous Europe of a century ago.
It was Roof Life that made it all come together. The title refers to what
one discovers looking out from high windows with distant and
distinctive views. In addition, it refers to the way one’s attention is
heightened and sharpened by confronting things that are unfamiliar, or
that are made to appear unfamiliar by circumstances. It describes the
immediacy of distance.

The Struggle for Iraq’s Future
How Corruption, Incompetence and Sectarianism
Have Undermined Democracy
Zaid Al-Ali
Since the withdrawal of US occupying forces, international attention
has shifted away from Iraq – but life for Iraqis has become no easier.
Deadly bombings are still all too common, sectarian violence has soared
and all-pervading corruption means that massive inflows of aid and oil
income have made very little difference to crucial issues like security,
healthcare and power availability.
Now, Iraqi lawyer Zaid Al-Ali sets out why and how the post-occupation
Iraqi government has failed to achieve legitimacy or improve its citizens’
lives. He argues that the ill-planned US intervention destroyed the Iraqi
state, creating a black hole which corrupt and incompetent members of
the elite have now made their own. In particular, Al-Ali demonstrates
how Iraqi politicians and the political system have failed to address Iraq’s
problems. The system of government put in place after 2003 has made
Sunni/Shia/Kurd divisions worse rather than better, and created a
dysfunctional state where the legal system is in crisis, human-rights
abuses are commonplace and the natural environment, already degraded
by Saddam Hussein’s destructive projects, is worsening every day. This is
a vivid, informed and ultimately very sad book.

On the great Pacific discovery expeditions of the ‘long 18th century’,

This enthralling book is the first to describe the adventures and
misadventures, discoveries and dangers of this devoted and sometimes
eccentric band of explorer-scholars. Their individual experiences are
uniquely their own, but together their stories offer a new perspective on
the extraordinary era of Pacific exploration and the achievements of an
audacious generation of naturalists. Historian Glyn Williams
illuminates the naturalist’s lot aboard ship, where danger alternated
with boredom and quarrels with the ship’s commander were the norm.
Nor did the naturalists’ difficulties end upon returning home, where
gaining recognition for years of work often proved elusive. Peopled with
wonderful characters and major figures of Enlightenment science –
among them Louis Antoine de Bougainville, Joseph Banks, John
Reinhold Forster, Captain Cook and Charles Darwin – this book is a

of discovery were to change perceptions of the natural world.

Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and
Germany. Travelling its full length from east to west, against the river’s
flow, Nick Thorpe embarks on an inspiring year-long journey that leads
to a new perspective on Europe today. Thorpe’s account is personal,
conversational, funny, immediate and uniquely observant – everything
a reader expects in the best travel writing.
Immersing himself in the Danube’s waters during daily morning swims,
Thorpe likewise becomes immersed in the histories of the lands linked
by the river. He observes the river’s ecological conditions, some
discouraging and others hopeful, and encounters archaeological remains
that whisper of human communities sustained by the river over eight
millennia. Most fascinating of all are the ordinary and extraordinary
people along the way – the ferrymen and fishermen, workers in the
fields, shopkeepers, beekeepers, waitresses, smugglers and border
policemen, legal and illegal immigrants, and many more. For readers
who anticipate their own journeys on the Danube, as well as those who
only dream of seeing the great river, this book will be a unique and
treasured guide.

BBC, a journalist and film-maker. He has lived and worked in
Budapest, Hungary for over a quarter of a century.

The Power of Knowledge
How Information and Technology Made the Modern World
Jeremy Black
Information is power. For more than five hundred years the success or
failure of nations has been determined by a country’s ability to acquire
knowledge and technical skill and transform them into strength and
prosperity. Leading historian Jeremy Black approaches global history
from a distinctive perspective, focusing on the relationship between
information and society and demonstrating how the understanding and
use of information have been the primary factors in the development
and character of the modern age.
Black suggests that the West’s ascension was a direct result of its
institutions and social practices for acquiring, employing, and retaining
information and the technology that was ultimately produced.
His cogent and well-reasoned analysis looks at cartography and the
hardware of communication, armaments and sea power, mercantilism
and imperialism, science and astronomy, as well as bureaucracy and the
management of information, linking the history of technology with the
history of global power while providing important indicators for the
future of our world.

Stay
A History of Suicide and the Philosophies Against It
Jennifer Michael Hecht
General Interest 19
Many thousands of people kill themselves every year, and many more
are left behind to grieve. Distressing statistics show that suicide rates
are rising, and studies confirm that suicide causes more suicide, both
among those who knew the person and even among strangers who feel
some connection. In this highly original book Jennifer Michael Hecht
channels her grief for two friends lost to suicide into a search for
history’s most persuasive arguments against the irretrievable act.
Hecht recounts individual suicide cases from the Bible and ancient
Greeks to the present day and analyses how ideas about suicide have
changed over time. She explains several puzzling aspects of attitudes
toward suicide, including the strange fact that secular philosophy has
long been associated with a pro-suicide attitude. In our own times,
when the influence of religious prohibitions has waned, Hecht finds
that we lack shared, secular, logical arguments against suicide. But there
are such arguments, and she focuses new attention on these forgotten
ideas that offer hope in the face of despair and powerful reasons to stay
when suicide seems a tempting choice.

The Nostalgia Factory
Memory, Time and Ageing
Douwe Draaisma
You cannot call to mind the name of a man you have known for 30
years. You walk into a room and forget what you came for. What is the
name of that famous film you’ve watched so many times? These are
common experiences, and as we grow older we tend to worry about
these lapses. Is our memory failing? Is it dementia?
Douwe Draaisma, a renowned memory specialist, here focuses on memory
in later life. Writing with eloquence and humour, he explains neurological
phenomena without becoming lost in specialist terminology. His book is
reminiscent of Oliver Sacks’s work, and not coincidentally this volume
includes a long interview with Sacks, who speaks of his own memory
changes as he entered his sixties. Draaisma moves smoothly from anecdote
to research and back, weaving stories and science into a compelling
description of the terrain of memory. He brings to light the ‘reminiscence
effect’, just one of the unexpected pleasures of an ageing memory.
The author writes reassuringly about forgetfulness and satisfyingly
dismantles the myth that mental gymnastics can improve memory. He
presents a convincing case in favour of the ageing mind and urges us to
value the nostalgia that survives as recollection, appreciate the intangible
nature of past events and take pleasure in the consolation of reminiscing.

Dressing Dangerously
Dysfunctional Fashion in Film
Jonathan Faiers
When Marlene Dietrich makes her entrance in Alfred Hitchcock’s
Stage Fright, the Dior dress she wears immediately draws the viewer’s
attention – not because of its designer label, but owing to the dramatic
blood stains ruining its stylish surface. Fashion in film goes far beyond
glamorous costumes on glamorous stars, as Jonathan Faiers proves in
Dressing Dangerously, a pioneering study of the ‘cinematic negative
wardrobe’ revealed in mainstream movies. The book emphasises how
problematic, even shocking depictions of dress, until now largely
overlooked, play pivotal roles in shaping film narrative.
Integrating fashion theory, film analysis and literature, the insightful
text investigates the ways cinema influences fashion and, conversely,
how fashion speaks to film. The book also reveals how clothing,
imbued with its own symbolic meaning, can be read much like a text;
when used to provocative effect, for example, in films such as Villain,
Leave Her to Heaven and Casino, the stars’ costumes as well as their
actions elicit a complex set of emotional responses. Dressing Dangerously
brings together a wealth of illustrations, from glossy publicity photos
featuring immaculately dressed stars to film stills that capture
‘dangerously’ fashionable moments.
Jonathan Faiers is reader in fashion theory at Winchester School of Art,
University of Southampton.
Exhibiting Fashion
Before and After 1971
Judith Clark and Amy de la Haye
With the dramatic increase in popularity of fashion exhibitions over the
past decade, this groundbreaking book provides a timely look at the
evolution of the practice, taking as its anchor the seminal 1971 Victoria
and Albert Museum exhibition Fashion: An Anthology by Cecil Beaton,
revealing it to be symptomatic of a shift in museological attitudes. The
authors’ combined experience of more than forty years, one in
architecture and exhibition design and the other in fashion history and
curating, informs their detailed account of the exhibition. Accompanied
by photographs of Beaton’s museum work published here for the first
time, their narrative establishes a perspective from which to view
working practices today.
Research into international exhibitions from the early 20th century to
the present results in some 150 stunning illustrations, including
previously unpublished exhibition photographs and out-of-print
documents. Through this research and the testimony of curators,
exhibition designers and mannequin manufacturers, the authors
discover striking continuity in the development of the fundamental
equation of mannequin, dress and mise-en-scène. A comprehensive
chronology from 1971 illustrates the exponential rise in exhibitions of
Western dress on an international scale.

A Queer History of Fashion
From the Closet to the Catwalk
Edited by Valerie Steele
From Christian Dior to Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen,
many of the greatest fashion designers of the past century have been
gay. Fashion and style have played an important role within the
LGBTQ community, as well, even as early as the 18th century.
This provocative book looks at the history of fashion through a queer
lens, examining high fashion as a site of gay cultural production and
exploring the aesthetic sensibilities and unconventional dress of
LGBTQ people, especially since the 1950s, to demonstrate the
centrality of gay culture to the creation of modern fashion.
Contributions by some of the world’s most acclaimed scholars of gay
history and fashion – including Christopher Breward, Shaun Cole,
Vicki Karaminas, Jonathan D. Katz, Peter McNeil and Elizabeth
Wilson – investigate topics such as the context in which key designers’
lives and works form part of a broader ‘gay’ history; the ‘archaeology’
of queer attire back to the homosexual underworld of 18th-century
Europe; and the influence of LGBTQ subcultural styles from the
trouser suits worn by Marlene Dietrich (which inspired Yves Saint
Laurent’s ‘Le Smoking’) to the iconography of leather. Sumptuous
illustrations include both fashion photography and archival imagery.

The Memoirs of Walter Bagehot
Frank Prochaska
Walter Bagehot (1826–1877) was a prominent English journalist,
banker and man of letters. For many years he was editor of
The Economist, and to this day the magazine includes a weekly
‘Bagehot’ column. His analyses of politics, economics and public affairs
were nothing short of brilliant. Sadly, he left no memoir.
How, then, does this book bear the title, The Memoirs of Walter Bagehot?
Frank Prochaska explains, ‘Given my longstanding interest in Bagehot’s
life and times, I decided to compose a memoir on his behalf’. And so,
in this imaginative reconstruction of the memoir Bagehot might have
written, Prochaska assumes his subject’s voice, draws on his extensive
writings (Bagehot’s Collected Works fill 15 volumes), and scrupulously
avoids what Bagehot considered that most unpardonable of faults –
dullness.
A faux autobiography allows for considerable license, but Prochaska
remains true to Bagehot’s character and accurate in his depiction of the
times. The memoir immerses us in the spirit of the Victorian era and
makes us wish to have known Walter Bagehot. He is, Prochaska
observes, the Victorian with whom we would most want to have dinner.

The Matter of a Life

In 1943, twenty-four-year-old Primo Levi had just begun a career in
chemistry when, after joining a partisan group, he was captured by the
Italian Fascist Militia and deported to Auschwitz. Of the 650 Italian
Jews in his transport, he was one of only 24 who survived the eleven
months before the camp’s liberation. Upon returning to his native
Turin, Levi resumed work as a chemist and was employed for thirty
years by a company specialising in paints and other chemical coatings.
Yet soon after his return to Turin, he also began writing – memoirs,
essays, novels, short stories, poetry – and it is for this work that he has
won international recognition. His first book, If This Is a Man, issued
in 1947 after great difficulty in finding a publisher, remains a landmark
document of the 20th century.

as a major intellectual and literary figure – an important Holocaust
writer and witness but also an innovative moral thinker in whom his
two roles as chemist and writer converged, providing the ‘matter’ of his
life. Levi’s writing combined a scientist’s attentiveness to structure and
detail, an ironic imagination that found in all nature an ingenuity at
once inviting and evasive, and a powerful and passionate moral
imagination. Lang’s approach provides a philosophically acute and
nuanced analysis of Levi as thinker, witness, writer and scientific
detective.

Pagan Britain

Britain’s pagan past, with its astonishing number and variety of
mysterious monuments, atmospheric sites, enigmatic artefacts,
bloodthirsty legends and cryptic inscriptions, has always enthralled and

Stone Age to the coming of Christianity. This ambitious book
integrates the latest evidence to survey our transformed – and
transforming – understanding of early religious behaviour; and, also,
the way in which that behaviour has been interpreted in recent times,
as a mirror for modern dreams and fears.
From the Palaeolithic era to the coming of Christianity and beyond,
Hutton reveals the long development, rapid suppression and enduring
cultural significance of paganism. Woven into the chronological
narrative are numerous case studies of sacred sites both well-known –
Stonehenge, Avebury, Seahenge and Maiden Castle – and more unusual
far-flung locations across the mainland and coastal islands. Celebrating
the powerful challenge and stimulus offered to our imagination by relics
of Britain’s deep past, this rich book reveals much about archaeological

Ship of Death
A Voyage that Changed the Atlantic World
Billy G. Smith
It is no exaggeration to say that the Hankey, one small British ship that
circled the Atlantic Ocean in 1792 and 1793, transformed Atlantic World
history. This book tells the just-uncovered story of the Hankey, from its
altruistic beginnings to its disastrous end, and describes the ship’s fateful
impact upon people from West Africa to Philadelphia, Haiti to London.
Billy G. Smith recounts the saga of the Hankey, that began with a
group of high-minded British colonists who planned to establish a
colony free of slavery in West Africa. When the colony failed, the ship
set sail for the Caribbean and then North America carrying, as it
turned out, mosquitoes infected with yellow fever. The resulting
pandemic as the Hankey travelled from one port to the next was
catastrophic. In the United States, tens of thousands died in
Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Charleston. The few survivors on
the Hankey eventually limped back to London, hopes dashed and
numbers decimated. Smith links the voyage and its deadly cargo to
some of the most significant events of the era – the success of the
Haitian slave revolution, Napoleon’s decision to sell the Louisiana
Territory, a change in the geopolitical situation of the new United
States – and spins a captivating tale of unintended consequences.

If Mayors Ruled the World
Dysfunctional Nations, Rising Cities
Benjamin R. Barber
In the face of the most perilous challenges of our time – climate
change, terrorism, poverty and trafficking of drugs, guns and people –
the nations of the world seem paralysed. The problems are too big, too
interdependent, too divisive for the nation-state. Is the nation-state,
once democracy’s best hope, today democratically dysfunctional?
Obsolete? The answer, says Benjamin Barber in this provocative and
original book, is yes. Cities and the mayors who run them can do and
are doing a better job.
Barber cites the unique qualities cities worldwide share: pragmatism,
civic trust, participation, indifference to borders and sovereignty, and a
democratic penchant for networking, creativity, innovation and
cooperation. He demonstrates how city mayors, singly and jointly, are
responding to transnational problems more effectively than nationstates
mired in ideological infighting and sovereign rivalries. Featuring
profiles of a dozen mayors around the world – courageous, eccentric or
both at once – If Mayors Ruled the World presents a compelling new
vision of governance for the coming century. Barber makes a persuasive
case that the city is democracy’s best hope in a globalising world, and
great mayors are already proving that this is so.

Nation of Devils
Democracy and the Problem of Obedience
Stein Ringen
Oxford University political theorist Stein Ringen offers a thoughtprovoking
meditation on the art of democratic rule: how does a
government persuade the people to accept its authority? Every
government must make unpopular demands of its citizens, from
levying taxes to enforcing laws and monitoring compliance to
regulations. The challenge, Ringen argues, is that power is not enough;
the populace must also be willing to be led. Ringen addresses this
political conundrum unabashedly, using the United States and Britain
as his prime examples, providing sharp opinions and cogent analyses on
how the culture of national obedience is created and nurtured. He
explores the paths leaders must choose if they wish to govern by
authority rather than power, or, as the philosopher Immanuel Kant put
it, to ‘maintain order in a nation of devils’.

The App Generation

How Today’s Youth Navigate Identity, Intimacy,

Howard Gardner and Katie Davis
No one has failed to notice that the current generation of youth is
deeply – some would say totally – involved with digital media.
Professors Howard Gardner and Katie Davis name today’s young
people The App Generation, and in this spellbinding book they explore
what it means to be ‘app-dependent’ versus ‘app-enabled’ and how life
for this generation differs from life before the digital era.
Gardner and Davis are concerned with three vital areas of adolescent life:
identity, intimacy and imagination. Through innovative research,
including interviews of young people, focus groups of those who work
with them, and a unique comparison of youthful artistic productions
before and after the digital revolution, the authors uncover the drawbacks
of apps: they may foreclose a sense of identity, encourage superficial
relations with others and stunt creative imagination. On the other hand,
the benefits of apps are equally striking: they can promote a strong sense
of identity, allow deep relationships and stimulate creativity. The
challenge is to venture beyond the ways that apps are designed to be
used, Gardner and Davis conclude, and they suggest how the power of
apps can be a springboard to greater creativity and higher aspirations.

leave technology companies poised to violate privacy and to prioritise

– such as self-branding, micro-celebrity and life-streaming – to show
that Web 2.0 did not provide a cultural revolution, but only furthered
inequality and reinforced traditional social stratification, demarcated by
race, class and gender.

The Second Arab Awakening
Marwan Muasher
This important book is not about immediate events or policies or

political change in the Arab world, beginning with the first Awakening
in the 19th century and extending into future decades when – if the
dream is realised – a new Arab world defined by pluralism and
tolerance will emerge.
Marwan Muasher, former foreign minister of Jordan, asserts that all
sides – the United States, Europe, Israel and Arab governments alike –
were deeply misguided in their thinking about Arab politics and society
when the turmoil of the Arab Spring erupted. He explains the causes of
the unrest, tracing them back to the first Arab Awakening, and warns
of the forces today that threaten the success of the Second Arab
Awakening, ignited in December 2010. Hope rests with the new
generation and its commitment to tolerance, diversity, the peaceful
rotation of power and inclusive economic growth, Muasher maintains.
He calls on the West to rethink political Islam and the Arab-Israeli

‘Forensically detailed, uncynical and unsentimental … The Richard

and delights throughout its immense length … Most present-day
actors would read this and weep at the level of sheer damned glamour
and sexiness flooding his daily life … Every page provides a glittering
revelation. It is the cinema book of the year.’ – Christopher Fowler,
Independent on Sunday
‘This is an absolute treat. Burton’s mass of meditations is swamped
by his love for Elizabeth Taylor.’ – Jonathan Dean, The Sunday Times
‘Vivid and curiously touching, Burton’s diaries are a telling, often
painfully truthful addition to the social history of the years between
1960 and 1974.’ – Frederic Raphael, Times Literary Supplement
‘His diaries are not those of a man afraid to take a harsh look at
himself … he is much more likely, in dealing with his fights with
Taylor, to record his own bad behavior than hers. Conversely, the
diaries are remarkably free of self-congratulation, either for his
achievements as an actor or for his great generosity with money.’

John Keats
A New Life
Nicholas Roe
Filled with revelations and
insights, this definitive book
presents a portrait of the beloved
Romantic poet and shows how
previously unrecognised turning
points in his life provide fresh
keys to his works.
‘Roe’s is a remarkable
achievement, authoritative and
imaginative to a degree that
should make all future Keats biographers quail.’
– John Carey, The Sunday Times
‘Roe reconstructs beautifully the milieu from which [Keats]
and his friends all came, on the northern edge of the city
where they had their day jobs and dreamed of fame.’
– Ferdinand Mount, Spectator
‘[Keats] is recast in this highly energetic life not as the ‘sickly
boy’ of tradition but as a much more ‘vigorous, colourful and
animated’ figure … Roe is sensitive about the poetry, and writes
with real panache, in a book that is driven by his contagious
enthusiasm for his subject.’ – Andrew Holgate, The Sunday Times
Nicholas Roe is professor of English, University of
St. Andrews. He is the author of numerous biographical
and critical works on writers of the Romantic period.

Robespierre
A Revolutionary Life
Peter McPhee
Was Robespierre a heroic
martyr or a bloodthirsty
tyrant? McPhee reevaluates
‘the Terror’, what Robespierre
intended, and whether it
represented an abandonment
or a reversal of his early
liberalism and sense of justice.
‘Peter McPhee’s fine new life
of Robespierre relies on the
first hand, day-to-day accounts rather than the posthumous
vilification and hagiography, and in it emerges a quite
different portrait of the man.’ – Stuart Kelly, Scotsman
‘McPhee brilliantly evokes the weaknesses as well as the
strengths of this thin-skinned, diminutive figure, who
suffered recurrent bouts of nervous exhaustion and withdrew
from the fray at vital moments. As this stimulating book
shows, those who come to play a leading part in times of
upheaval are shaped by events rather than controlling them.’
– Malcolm Crook, BBC History Magazine

Melbourne. He has published widely, including most recently

How We’re Getting Climate

Dieter Helm
Dieter Helm looks at how we

and a focus on new technologies.
‘A powerful and heartfelt plea for hard-nosed realism.’

he is among the more influential and … one of the more

The Late Medieval
English Church
Vitality and Vulnerability
Before the Break with Rome
G. W. Bernard
The later medieval English
church is invariably viewed
through the lens of the
Reformation that transformed it.
But in this bold and provocative
book, historian George Bernard
examines it on its own terms,
revealing a church with vibrant faith and great energy, but also
with weaknesses that reforming bishops worked to overcome.
‘A sumptuous account of religious life inside the heads of late
medieval men and women … It is very much a ‘yes, but’
complement … to the work of Eamon Duffy, but it has all of
the latter’s vitality and vividness to boot. It is massively
researched and packed with startling detail.’ – John Morrill,
BBC History Magazine

back to an old problem and start thinking afresh.’

36 History
Practicing Stalinism
Bolsheviks, Boyars, and the
Persistence of Tradition
J. Arch Getty
In old Russia, patron/client
relations, ‘clan’ politics, and a variety
of other informal practices spanned
the centuries. Government was
understood to be patrimonial and
personal rather than legal, and
office-holding was far less important
than proximity to patrons. Working
from heretofore unused documents from the communist archives,
J. Arch Getty shows how these political practices and traditions
from old Russia have persisted throughout the 20th-century
Soviet Union and down to the present day.
The book’s chapters examine a number of case studies of
political practices in the Stalin era and after. These include
cults of personality, the transformation of Old Bolsheviks into
noble grandees, the communist party’s personnel selection
system, and the rise of political clans (‘family circles’) after the
1917 revolutions. Stalin’s conflicts with these clans, and his
eventual destruction of them, were key elements in the Great
Purges of the 1930s. But although Stalin could destroy the
competing clans he could not destroy the historically
embedded patron-client relation, as a final chapter on political
practice under Putin shows.

Nazis, Islamists, and
the Making of the
Modern Middle East
Barry Rubin and
Wolfgang G. Schwanitz
During the 1930s and 1940s, a
unique and lasting political alliance
was forged among Third Reich
leaders, Arab nationalists and
Muslim religious authorities. From
this relationship sprang a series of
dramatic events that, despite their profound impact on the
course of the Second World War, remained secret until now. In
this book, Middle East scholars Barry Rubin and Wolfgang G.
Schwanitz uncover for the first time the complete story of this
dangerous alliance and explore its continuing impact on Arab
politics in the 21st century. Drawing on unprecedented research
in European, American and Middle East archives, the authors
offer new insight on the intertwined development of Nazism
and Islamism and its impact on the modern Middle East.

Myth, Memory,

Rethinking the Stalinist Past
in the Soviet Union, 1953–70
Polly Jones
Drawing on newly available
materials from the Soviet archives,
Polly Jones offers an innovative,
comprehensive account of
de-Stalinization in the Soviet
Union during the Khrushchev and early Brezhnev eras. Jones
traces the authorities’ initiation and management of the
de-Stalinization process and explores a wide range of popular
reactions to the new narratives of Stalinism in party statements
and in Soviet literature and historiography.
Engaging with the dynamic field of memory studies, this book
represents the first sustained comparison of this process with
other countries’ attempts to rethink their own difficult pasts,
and with later Soviet and post-Soviet approaches to Stalinism.

The Archaeology of Jerusalem
From the Origins to the Ottomans
Katharina Galor and Hanswulf Bloedhorn
In this sweeping and lavishly illustrated history, Katharina
Galor and Hanswulf Bloedhorn survey nearly four thousand
years of human settlement and building activity in Jerusalem,
from prehistoric times through the Ottoman period. The

The Allure of
the Archives
Arlette Farge • Translated by
Thomas Scott-Railton
Foreword by Natalie Zemon Davis
Arlette Farge’s Le gout de l’archive
is widely regarded as a
historiographical classic. While
combing through two-hundredyear-old
judicial records from the
Archives of the Bastille, Farge was
struck by the extraordinarily
intimate portrayal they provided of the lives of the poor in pre-
Revolutionary France, especially women. She was seduced by
the sensuality of old manuscripts and by the revelatory power of
voices otherwise lost. In The Allure of the Archives, she conveys
the exhilaration of uncovering hidden secrets and the thrill of
venturing into previously unknown dimensions of the past.
Originally published in 1989, Farge’s classic work communicates
the experience of archival research while sharing astonishing
details about life under the Old Regime in France.

History 37
The Field of
Cloth of Gold
Glenn Richardson
Glenn Richardson provides the
first history in more than four
decades of a major Tudor event:
an extraordinary international
gathering of Renaissance rulers
unparalleled in its opulence,
pageantry, controversy and
mystery.
Throughout most of the late
medieval period, from 1300 to 1500, England and France
were bitter enemies, often at war or on the brink of it.
In 1520, in an effort to bring conflict to an end, England’s
monarch, Henry VIII, and Francis I of France agreed to meet
at ‘the Field of Cloth of Gold’. In the midst of a spectacular
festival of competition and entertainment, the rival leaders
hoped to secure a permanent settlement as part of a Europeanwide
‘Universal Peace’. Richardson offers a bold new appraisal
of this remarkable historical event, describing the preparations
and execution of the magnificent gathering, exploring its
ramifications, and arguing that it was far more than the
extravagant elitist theatre and cynical charade it historically has
been considered to be.
Glenn Richardson is reader in early modern history at

Swami Vivekananda and the

Jyotirmaya Sharma
In this third instalment of his
comprehensive history of ‘India’s
religion’ and reappraisal of Hindu
identity, Professor Jyotirmaya
Sharma offers an engaging portrait
of Swami Vivekananda and his relationship with his guru, the
legendary Ramakrishna. Sharma’s work focuses on
Vivekananda’s reinterpretation and formulation of diverse
Indian spiritual and mystical traditions and practices as
‘Hinduism’ and how it served to create, distort and justify a
national self-image. The author examines questions of caste
and the primacy of the West in Vivekananda’s vision, as well as
the systematic marginalisation of alternate religions and
heterodox beliefs. In doing so, Professor Sharma provides
readers with an incisive entryway into 19th- and 20th-century
Indian history and the rise of Hindutva, the Hindu nationalist
movement.

Forgotten Voices of
Mao’s Great Famine,
1958–1962
An Oral History
Zhou Xun
In 1958, China’s revered leader
Mao Zedong instituted a programme
designed to transform his giant
nation into a Communist utopia.
Called the Great Leap Forward, Mao’s grand scheme – like so
many other utopian dreams of the 20th century – proved a
monumental disaster, resulting in the mass destruction of
China’s agriculture, industry and trade, while leaving large
portions of the countryside forever scarred by man-made
environmental disasters. The resulting three-year famine
claimed the lives of more than 45 million people in China.
In this remarkable oral history, survivors of the cataclysm share
their memories of devastation and loss. Powerful and deeply
moving, this unique remembrance of an unnecessary and
unhindered catastrophe illuminates a dark recent history that
remains officially unacknowledged by the Chinese government.
Zhou Xun is a lecturer in modern history at the University of

38 History
The Murder,
Betrayal, and
Slaughter of the
Glorious Charles,
Count of Flanders
Galbert of Bruges
Translated by Jeff Rider
On March 2, 1127, while praying in the church of Saint Donatian
in Bruges, Charles the Good, count of Flanders, was surrounded
by assassins and killed by a sword blow to the forehead. The
murder of Charles, who had no progeny, nor named successor,
upset the balance of power among England, France and the
Holy Roman Empire, giving rise to a prolonged struggle for the
countship and bloody civil war, impacting the commercial life
of the most prosperous regions of medieval Europe.
The eyewitness account by the Flemish cleric Galbert of
Bruges of the scandalous assassination and struggle for power
that ensued is the only journal to have survived from 12thcentury
Europe. This new translation by medieval studies
expert Jeff Rider greatly improves upon all previous versions,
substantially advancing scholarship on the Middle Ages while
granting new life and immediacy to Galbert’s candid narrative.

Indian Ocean Slavery in the Age of Abolition
Edited by Robert Harms, Bernard Freamon
and David Blight
While the British were able to accomplish abolition in the
trans-Atlantic world by the end of the 19th century, their
efforts paradoxically caused a great increase in legal and illegal
slave trading in the western Indian Ocean. Bringing together
essays from leading authorities in the field of slavery studies,
this comprehensive work offers an original and creative study
of slavery and abolition in the Indian Ocean world during this
period. Among the topics discussed are the relationship
between British imperialism and slavery; Islamic law and
slavery; and the bureaucracy of slave trading.
‘The focus on the abolition period marks the volume as
unique. It is valuable for that purpose, besides vetting very
fine scholarship. I would recommend it to anyone interested
in slavery, the Indian Ocean, the Islamic world, and
abolition.’ – Paul Lovejoy, author of Transformations in

Female Alliances
Gender, Identity, and Friendship
in Early Modern Britain
Amanda E. Herbert
In the late 17th and early 18th
centuries, cultural, economic and
political changes, as well as increased
geographic mobility, placed strains upon
British society. But by cultivating
friendships and alliances, women
worked to socially cohere Britain and its
colonies. In the first book-length
historical study of female friendship and
alliance for the early modern period,
Amanda Herbert draws on a series of
interlocking microhistorical studies to
demonstrate the vitality and importance
of bonds formed between British
women in the long 18th century. She
shows that while these alliances were
central to women’s lives, they were also
instrumental in building the British
Atlantic world.

The Christian Monitors
The Church of England and the Age

Brent S. Sirota
This original and persuasive book
examines the moral and religious revival
led by the Church of England before and

how that revival laid the groundwork for
a burgeoning civil society in Britain.
After outlining the Church of England’s
key role in the increase of voluntary,
charitable and religious societies, Brent
Sirota examines how these groups drove
the modernisation of Britain through
such activities as settling immigrants
throughout the empire, founding charity
schools, distributing devotional
literature, and evangelising and educating
merchants, seamen and slaves
throughout the British empire – all
leading to what has been termed the ‘age
of benevolence’.

Stories of plots, sham plots and the

compelling study of the turbulent
decade following the Revolution of
1688. Most studies of the Glorious
Revolution focus on its causes or longterm
effects, but Weil instead zeroes in
on the early years when the survival of
the new regime was in doubt. By
encouraging informers, imposing loyalty
oaths, suspending habeas corpus and
delaying the long-promised reform of
treason trial procedure, the Williamite
regime protected itself from enemies
and cemented its bonds with
supporters, but also put its own
credibility at risk.

Facing the Modern
The Portrait in Vienna, 1900
Gemma Blackshaw
With a foreword by Edmund de Waal
Contributions by Tag Gronberg, Julie Johnson, Doris Lehmann,
Elana Shapira, Sabine Wieber and Mary Costello
During the great flourishing of modern art in fin-de-siècle Vienna,
artists of that city focused on images of individuals. Their portraits
depict artists, patrons, families, friends, intellectual allies, and society
celebrities from the upwardly mobile middle classes. Viewed as a whole,
the images allow us to reconstruct the subjects’ shifting identities as the
Austro-Hungarian Empire underwent dramatic political changes, from
the 1867 Ausgleich (Compromise) to the end of the First World War.
This is viewed as a time when the avant-garde overthrew the academy,
yet Facing the Modern tells a more complex story, through thoughtprovoking
texts by leading art historians. Their writings examine
paintings by innovative artists such as Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka
and Egon Schiele alongside those of their predecessors, blurring the
conventionally-held distinctions between 19th-century and early-20thcentury
art, and revealing surprising continuities in the production and
consumption of portraits. This compelling book also features works by
lesser-known female and Jewish artists, giving a more complete picture
of the time.

The King’s Pictures
The Formation and Dispersal of the Collections of
Charles I and His Courtiers
Francis Haskell
With a foreword by Nicholas Penny
Edited and with an introduction by Karen Serres
The greatest paintings in today’s most famous museums were once part
of a fluid exchange determined by volatile political fortunes. In the first
half of the 17th century, masterpieces by Titian, Raphael and Leonardo,
among others, were the objects of fervent pursuit by art connoisseurs.
Francis Haskell traces the fate of collections extracted from Italy, Spain
and France by King Charles I and his circle which, after a brief stay in
Britain, were largely dispersed after the Civil War to princely galleries
across the Continent. From vivid case studies of individual collectors,
advisers and artists, and acute analysis of personality and motive,
Haskell challenges ideas about this episode in British cultural life and
traces some of the factors that forever changed the artistic map of
Europe.
Francis Haskell (1928–2000) was one of the most influential art
historians of the 20th century. He expanded the discipline to include
the study of patronage and collecting, the formation of museums and
canons of taste, the idea of revival and of illustration. He was professor
of art history at the University of Oxford from 1967 until his
retirement in 1995.

William Kent
Designing Georgian Britain
Edited by Susan Weber
The most versatile British designer of the 18th century, William Kent
(1685–1748) created a style for a new nation and monarchy.
The scope of his achievements encompasses architecture, palatial
interiors, elaborate gardens and exquisite furniture. Among his creative
innovations are bold combinations of elements from Palladian, rococo
and gothic design, anticipating the intermingling of architectural styles
we see today. William Kent: Designing Georgian Britain is the first
comprehensive exploration of this important designer and his
extraordinary creations.
An international team of the foremost experts in the field examines the
entire spectrum of Kent’s oeuvre, including the interiors at Kensington
Palace and Houghton Hall. Essays illuminate issues about the
authorship of Kent’s furniture and metalwork, situate his contributions
in relation to architectural discourse and classify the characteristics of
his designs. Copiously illustrated, including many stunning new
photographs, this handsome volume celebrates the work and career of
one of the most influential figures in the history of architecture and
design.

Matisse’s Sculpture
The Pinup and the Primitive
Ellen McBreen
Long perceived as a side pursuit to his celebrated painting career,
Henri Matisse’s sculpture receives an overdue critical examination in
this book. Beginning in 1906, soon after the artist acquired his first
African sculpture, Matisse found inspiration in erotic and ethnographic
photography, which had become inexpensively mass-produced thanks
to advances in halftone technology. Working from these two radically
different depictions of the body – one hand carved, the other
mechanically made – was a foundational method for Matisse and
crucial to the development of his pre-World War I abstraction.
Far from a simple narrative of the artist ‘discovering’ Africa, the highly
original readings of Matisse’s Sculpture plot new coordinates of study for
early 20th-century primitivism. The book examines the larger
constructs of thought at the time, with a penetrating analysis of
anthropology, popular erotica and the visual culture of French. In
addition, it repositions Matisse’s sculptural practice, particularly in
regard to its investigations of race and sexuality, as a cornerstone of his
prolific career.

The Erotic Doll
A Modern Fetish
Marquard Smith
Since the 19th century, dolls have served as commodities but also as
objects of possession and obsession, love and lust. That century
witnessed the emergence of the term ‘heterosexual’ as well as distinctly
modern conceptions of fetishism, perversity and animism. Their
convergence, and the demands of a growing consumer society resulted
in a proliferation of waxworks, shop-window dummies and customised
love dolls, which also began to appear in art. Oskar Kokoschka
commissioned a life-sized doll of his former lover Alma Mahler; Hans
Bellmer crafted poupées; and Marcel Duchamp fabricated a nude figure
in his environmental tableau Étant donnés. The Erotic Doll is the first
book to explore men’s complex relationships with such inanimate forms
from historical, theoretical and phenomenological perspectives.
Challenging our commonsense grasp of the relations between persons
and things, Marquard Smith examines these erotically charged human
figures by interweaving art history, visual culture, gender and sexuality
studies with the medical humanities, offering startling insights into
heterosexual masculinity and its discontents.
Marquard Smith is director, Institute for Modern and Contemporary
Culture, University of Westminster, and editor-in-chief of Journal of
Visual Culture.

and theatre and film design. Divided into four chronological sections,
each of which is subdivided geographically, the authors elucidate the
evolution of style, form, materials and techniques, and address vital
issues such as gender, race, patronage, cultural appropriation,
continuity versus innovation, and high versus low culture.
Leading authorities in design history and decorative arts studies from
both scholarly and museum backgrounds present hundreds of objects
in their contemporary contexts, demonstrating the overwhelming
extent to which the applied arts have enriched customs, ceremony and
daily life worldwide over the past six hundred years. This ambitious,
landmark publication is essential reading, contributing a definitive

The City and the King
Architecture and Politics in Restoration London
Christine Stevenson
The City of London is a jurisdiction whose relationship with the
English monarchy has sometimes been turbulent. This fascinating book
explores how architecture was used to renew and redefine a relationship
essential to both parties in the wake of two momentous events: the
restoration of the monarchy, in 1660, and the Great Fire six years later.
Spotlighting little-known projects alongside such landmarks as
Christopher Wren’s St. Paul’s Cathedral, it explores how they were made
to bear meaning. It draws on a range of evidence wide enough to match
architecture’s resonances for its protagonists: paintings, prints and
poetry, sermons and civic ceremony mediated and politicised buildings
and built space, as did direct and sometimes violent action. The City
and the King offers a nuanced understanding of architecture’s place in
early modern English culture. It casts new light not only on the reign of
Charles II, but on the universal mechanisms of construction, decoration
and destruction through which we give our monuments significance.

Magnificent Entertainments
Temporary Architecture for Georgian Festivals
Melanie Doderer-Winkler
A thoroughly original study of ephemeral architecture and design,
Magnificent Entertainments examines the spectacular displays created for
large-scale public celebrations in the Georgian period. The book focuses
on a number of specific events – including royal weddings, coronations,
battle victories and birthday fêtes – that employed elaborate decorative
measures to outshine the typical festivities of the day. Some of these
elements, ranging from floral displays and scenery to music and light
shows, transformed existing venues into unfamiliar marvels; other
times, completely new settings were devised for short-lived occasions.
Drawing on primary sources such as commemorative prints, newspaper
accounts and diary entries, the book investigates just how essential these
fanciful designs were in creating events with lasting impact and popular
appeal. The author also delves into the various materials used for
construction and embellishment: applications of sugar, sand, marble
dust or chalk lent luster and colour to surfaces, while stand-alone
firework temples and temporary reception rooms were often crafted of
little more than wood, canvas, paint and paste.

The Origins of Classical Architecture
Temples, Orders and Gifts to the Gods in Ancient Greece
Mark Wilson Jones
Art 45
Greek temples captivate anyone with an interest in antiquity, and the
Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columnar orders that clad them launched
the classical architectural tradition down to modern times. The Origins
of Classical Architecture proposes groundbreaking new theories in both
areas as it elucidates the nature and function of Greek architecture.
While contextualising past debate and prevailing, frequently
evolutionary assumptions, Mark Wilson Jones explains how the orders
emerged over a relatively short period in response to cultural
developments, human agency and artistic inspiration. Temples were
houses for the gods while also considered as offerings to them, and thus
made appropriately from enduring materials and grandly scaled. These
structures, furthermore, sheltered votive offerings of great artistic
quality, the design of which influenced that of the temples and the
creation of the new architectural forms. Temples and their orders
thereby symbolised the dedication of effort and artistry to the cause of
religious expression and collective identity.

The Sheldonian Theatre
Architecture and Learning in Seventeenth-Century Oxford
Anthony Geraghty
A jewel of the University of Oxford, the Sheldonian Theatre stands out
among the groundbreaking designs by the great British architect Sir
Christopher Wren. Published to coincide with the 350th anniversary of
the building’s construction, this meticulously researched book takes a
fresh look at the historical influences that shaped the Sheldonian’s
development, including the Restoration of the English monarchy and
the university’s commitment to episcopal religion.
The book explains just how novel Wren’s design was in its day, in part
because the academic theatre was a building type without precedent in
England, and in part because the Sheldonian’s classical style stood apart
in its university context. The author also points to a shift in the
guiding motivation behind the architecture at Oxford: from a tradition
that largely perpetuated medieval forms to one that conceived classical
architecture in relation to late Renaissance learning. Newly
commissioned photographs showcase the theatre’s recently restored
interior.

Landscapes of London
The City, the Country and the Suburbs 1660–1840
Elizabeth McKellar
The idea of a ‘Greater London’ emerged in the 18th century with the
expansion of the city’s suburbs. In Landscapes of London, Elizabeth
McKellar traces this growth back to the 17th century, when domestic
retreats were established in outlying areas. This transitional zone was
occupied and shaped by the urban middle class as much as by the elite
who built villas there. McKellar provides the first major interdisciplinary
cultural history of this area, analysing it in relation to key architectural
and planning debates and to concepts of national, social and gender
identities. She draws on a wide range of source materials, including prints,
paintings, maps, poetry, songs, newspapers, guidebooks and other popular
literature, as well as buildings and landscapes. The author suggests that
these suburban landscapes – the first in the world – were a new
environment, but one in which the vernacular, the rustic and the historic
played a substantial part. This fascinating investigation shows London as
the forerunner of the complex, multifaceted modern cities of today.

Survey of London, English Heritage.
Published for English Heritage by
Yale University Press on behalf of the
Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
The south London parish of Battersea has roots as a working village,
growing produce for London markets, and as a high-class suburb, with
merchants’ villas on the elevated ground around Clapham and
Wandsworth Commons. Battersea enjoyed spectacular growth during
Queen Victoria’s reign, and railroads brought industry and a robust
building boom, transforming the parish into another of London’s dense,
smoky neighbourhoods, though not without its unique and
distinguishing features. Among these are Battersea Park, which was
created by the Crown in the 1850s; the monumental Battersea Power
Station, completed in 1939; and Clapham Junction railway station, which
is, by measure of passenger interchanges, the busiest station in the UK.
The two latest volumes of the Survey of London, 49 and 50, trace
Battersea’s development from medieval times to the present day.
Offering detailed analysis of its streets and buildings both thematically
and topographically, and including copious original in-depth research
and investigation, the books are a trove of architectural and British
history. Profusely illustrated with new and archival images, architectural
drawings and maps, these volumes are welcome additions to the
acclaimed Survey of London series.

Kent: North East and East
The Buildings of England
John Newman
Art 47
The exceptionally rich architecture of eastern Kent is covered by this fully revised, updated and
expanded edition of John Newman’s classic survey, first published in 1969. The city of Canterbury
is the county’s greatest treasure, and its glorious cathedral is the first mature example of Gothic
architecture in England. The influence of Canterbury appears also in the remains of St Augustine’s
seventh-century mission churches, and in sophisticated Norman carved work at churches such as
Barfrestone.
Kent is also a maritime county, and its coastal towns are excitingly diverse: the royal stronghold of
Dover with its mighty medieval castle; the medieval port of Sandwich; and resorts large and small,
from genteel Folkestone to lively Margate, with its bold new art gallery.
John Newman’s other volumes for the Pevsner Architectural Guides include Kent: West and the Weald
(2012), Shropshire (2006), and Glamorgan and Gwent/Monmouthshire in the Buildings of Wales
series.

Northamptonshire
The Buildings of England
Bruce Bailey
Some of England’s grandest country houses are to be found in this prosperous rural county. The
Elizabethan Renaissance Kirby Hall, the Jacobean mansion at Apethorpe, the late 17th-century
French-inspired Boughton, Hawksmoor’s stately Baroque Easton Neston and the interiors of Althorp
provide a fascinating survey of changing taste through the centuries. Complementing them are
smaller buildings of great character, supreme among them those of Sir Thomas Tresham: the eccentric
and ingenious Triangular Lodge at Rushton and the evocative New Beild at Lyveden. Of no less
interest are the fine churches, from Anglo-Saxon Brixworth to the noble Gothic of Warmington,
Rushden and Finedon and from All Saints, Northampton, one of the grandest 17th-century churches
outside London, to Comper’s St Mary’s, Wellingborough. Chief among the towns, Northampton has
not only distinguished Victorian and Edwardian public, commercial and industrial buildings but also
the principal work in England by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Bruce Bailey is a Northamptonshire man and has contributed to both of the previous editions of the
guide to the county in this series. He serves as archivist at Drayton House and for the Althorp Estate.

Generation Dada
The Berlin Avant-Garde and the First World War
Michael White
For the Berlin Dadaists, their identity as a collective – Club Dada, to members – was an integral
part of their artistic practice. But the circumstances that brought together the likes of George Grosz,
John Heartfield, Raoul Hausmann and Johannes Baader – renamed Propaganda Marshall,
Monteurdada, Dadasoph and Oberdada within the organisation – have remained largely
unexamined until now. Drawing on extensive archival research, this book documents the group’s
beginnings in wartime Berlin and reveals how these relationships influenced its provocative acts,
which were inextricably tied to the era’s chaos and brutality.
Studying how the Dadaists saw themselves as a new generation – in contrast to their pacifist forebears, the Expressionists – the
book sheds light on key developments and events, such as the First International Dada Fair, held in Berlin in 1920. It also offers
the first serious consideration of the group’s role in constructing its own legacy, even as the works were deliberately rooted in the
ephemeral.
Michael White is reader in the history of art at the University of York and is best known internationally for his research on the
early-20th-century De Stijl group in the Netherlands.

Fernand Léger and the Modern City
Edited by Anna Vallye • With contributions by Christian Derouet, Maria
Gough, Stuart Liebman, Spyros Papapetros, Anna Vallye and Jennifer Wild
With his landmark 1919 painting The City, Fernand Léger inaugurated a vitally
experimental decade during which he and others redefined the practice of painting in
confrontation with the forms of cultural production that were central to urban life, ranging
from graphic and advertising design to theatre, dance, film and architecture. This catalogue
casts new light on the painting (reproducing all of its studies together for the first time), the
avant-garde use of print media, and Léger’s fascination with cinema and architecture, and
contextualises a network of international avant-gardes – including Blaise Cendrars, Le Corbusier, Jean Epstein, Piet Mondrian,
Amédée Ozenfant, Francis Picabia and Theo van Doesburg – in relation to Léger. Featuring nearly 250 images of paintings,
architectural designs, models, posters, set designs, and film stills and an anthology of relevant historical texts not previously
published in English, this handsome volume conveys the spirit of experimentation of the 1920s. Scholars in the fields of art,
architecture, and film history offer a deeper understanding of the relationship between art and the modern urban experience that
defined this significant chapter in the history of modern art.

Erwin Blumenfeld
Edited by Ute Eskildsen
Erwin Blumenfeld was one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. His work
offers a unique perspective on the society and politics of the 1930s through the 60s. Born in Berlin,
Blumenfeld’s peripatetic career took him first to Amsterdam and then to Paris, where his work in
fashion photography began at Vogue in 1938. After two years in a French concentration camp, he
made his way to the US and established himself as an eminent fashion photographer. Over one
hundred of his photographs featured on the covers of prominent fashion and general interest
magazines, including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Life and Cosmopolitan. Often minimalist, mainly in
colour, these photographs testify to Blumenfeld’s lifelong interest in experimentation.
This landmark publication broadens our understanding of Blumenfeld’s innovations, reuniting all the media used by the artist
throughout his long career: drawing, photography, photomontage and collage. The motifs of his experimental, sometimes overtly
political, black and white photographs appear alongside numerous self-portraits and celebrity portraits, as well as the fashion
photographs for which he is most known. Presenting some 150 images, this book provides a fresh understanding of Blumenfeld’s
photography for the commercial worlds of fashion and advertising, as well as of his full creative scope.
Ute Eskildsen is deputy director and head of the photography collections for the Museum Folkwang, Essen.

The Arts and Crafts Movement
in Scotland
Art 49
A History
Annette Carruthers
This authoritative book is the first to chronicle the Arts and Crafts
movement in Scotland. Arts and Crafts ideas appeared there from the
1860s, but not until after 1890 did they emerge from artistic circles
and rise to popularity among the wider public. The heyday of the
movement occurred between 1890 and 1914, a time when Scotland’s
art schools energetically promoted new design and the Scottish Home
Industries Association campaigned to revive rural crafts. Across the
country the movement influenced the look of domestic and church
buildings, as well as the stained glass, metalwork, textiles and other
furnishings that adorned them. Art schools, workshops and associations
helped shape the Arts and Crafts style, as did individuals such as Ann
Macbeth, W. R. Lethaby, Robert Lorimer, M. H. Baillie Scott, Douglas
Strachan, Phoebe Traquair and James Cromar Watt, among other wellknown
and previously overlooked figures. Together, these architects,
artists, and designers contributed to the expansion and evolution of the
movement both within and beyond Scotland’s borders.

From Still Life
to the Screen
Print Culture, Display, and
the Materiality of the Image
in Eighteenth-Century
London
Joseph Monteyne
From Still Life to the Screen
explores the print culture of
18th-century London, focusing
on the correspondences between images and consumer objects.
In his lively and insightful text, Joseph Monteyne considers
such themes as the display of objects in still lifes and markets,
the connoisseur’s fetishistic gaze, and the fusion of body and
ornament in satires of fashion. The desire for goods emerged
in tandem with modern notions of identity, in which things
were seen to mirror and symbolise the self. Prints, particularly
graphic satires by such artists as Matthew and Mary Darly,
James Gillray, William Hogarth, Thomas Rowlandson and
Paul Sandby, were actively involved in this shift. Many of these
images play with the boundaries between the animate and the
inanimate, self and thing. They also reveal the recurring motif
of image display, whether on screens, by magic lanterns, or in
‘raree-shows’ and print-shop windows. The author links this
motif to new conceptions of the self, specifically through the
penetration of spectacle into everyday experience.

Exhibiting Englishness
John Boydell’s Shakespeare
Gallery and the Formation
of a National Aesthetic
Rosie Dias
In the late 18th century, as a
wave of English nationalism
swept the country, the printseller
John Boydell set out to create an
ambitious exhibition space, one
devoted to promoting and
fostering a distinctly English style of history painting. With its
very name, the Shakespeare Gallery signalled to Londoners
that the artworks on display shared an undisputed quality and
a national spirit. Exhibiting Englishness explores the responses
of key artists of the period to Boydell’s venture and sheds new
light on the gallery’s role in the larger context of British art.
Tracking the shift away from academic and Continental
European styles of history painting, the book analyses the
works of such artists as Joshua Reynolds, Henry Fuseli, James
Northcote, Robert Smirke, Thomas Banks and William
Hamilton, laying out their diverse ways of expressing notions
of individualism, humour, eccentricity and naturalism.
Exhibiting Englishness also argues that Boydell’s gallery
radically redefined the dynamics of display and cultural
aesthetics at that time, shaping both an English school of
painting and modern exhibition practices.

enriched by writings by Herman Parret, who explores Saint Sebastian –
the dual incarnation of sensuality and mystical suffering, and Venice’s
quintessential symbol – and his particular significance to De
Bruyckere’s oeuvre.

Printmaking in Paris
The Rage for Prints
at the Fin de Siècle
Fleur Roos Rosa de
Carvalho and Marije
Vellekoop
In the years between 1890 and
1905, Paris witnessed a
revolution in printmaking.
Before this time, prints had
primarily served reproductive
or political ends, but, as the century came to a close, artistic
quality became paramount, and printmaking blossomed into
an autonomous art form. This gorgeously illustrated and
accessibly written book looks at the circumstances in which
this terrific new enthusiasm for prints unfolded; the principal
players in its development; and the various printmaking
techniques being used.
Featuring highlights from the Van Gogh Museum, which
houses a superb collection of prints from fin-de-siècle Paris,
this enlightening volume shows how the most influential
artists of the day turned their hands to making beautiful
‘impressions’ – prints that were works of art in themselves.
Fleur Roos Rosa de Carvalho is curator of prints and
drawings and Marije Vellekoop is head of collections, research

In Flanders Fields
The Great War Seen from the Air, 1914–1918
Birger Stichelbaut
Aerial photography was a relatively new technology at the onset of the
First World War and was embraced as an indispensable tool of wartime
intelligence by all nations involved in the conflict. As a result,
thousands of photographs taken from the air over the battlefields of the
Great War have survived in archives throughout Europe, Australia and
the United States. These pictures present the war from a unique
perspective, clearly showing the developing trench system, artillery
batteries, bunkers, railway lines, airfields, medical evacuation routes and
more. They reveal the expanding war in Flanders Fields as the hostilities
spread, kilometer by kilometer, devastating the environment and
resulting in the complete destruction of the landscape at the front.
This illuminating volume, the results of a collaboration between the In
Flanders Fields Museum, Ypres, the Imperial War Museum, London
and the Royal Army Museum, Brussels, features hundreds of
photographic case studies, illustrating in unprecedented detail the
physical extent of the First World War and the shocking environmental
damage it left in its wake. Supplementing aerial images with maps,
documents and photos taken from the ground, this one-of-a-kind visual
record stands as an important contribution to First World War history,
revealing the wartime landscape of Flanders Fields as rarely seen before.

The Miraculous Image
in Renaissance Florence
Megan Holmes
In Renaissance Florence, certain paintings and sculptures of the Virgin
Mary and Christ were believed to have extraordinary efficacy in
activating potent sacred intercession. Cults sprung up around these
‘miraculous images’ in the city and surrounding countryside beginning
in the late 13th century. In The Miraculous Image in Renaissance
Florence, Megan Holmes questions what distinguished these paintings
and sculptures from other similar sacred images, looking closely at their
material and formal properties, the process of enshrinement, and the
foundation legends and miracles associated with specific images.
Whereas some of the images presented in this fascinating book are well
known, such as Bernardo Daddi’s Madonna of Orsanmichele, many
others have been little studied until now. Holmes’s efforts centre on the
recovery and contextualisation of these revered images, reintegrating
them and their related cults into an art-historical account of the period.
By challenging prevailing views and offering a reassessment of the
Renaissance, this generously illustrated and comprehensive survey makes
a significant contribution to the field.
Megan Holmes is professor of the history of art at the University of
Michigan.
Religious Poverty, Visual Riches
Art in the Dominican Churches of Central Italy
in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries
Joanna Cannon
The Dominican friars of late-medieval Italy were vowed to a life of
religious poverty. Yet their churches contained many visual riches, as this
groundbreaking study reveals. Works by supreme practitioners –
Cimabue, Duccio, Giotto and Simone Martini – are here set in a wider
Dominican context. The contents of major foundations – Siena, Pisa,
Perugia and Santa Maria Novella in Florence – are studied alongside less
well-known centres. For the first time these frescoes and panel paintings
are brought together with illuminated choir books, carved crucifixes,
goldsmith’s work, tombs and stained glass. At the heart of the book is
the Dominicans’ evolving relationship with the laity, expressed at first by
the partitioning of their churches, and subsequently by the everincreasing
sharing of space, and of the production and use of art.
Joanna Cannon’s magisterial study is informed by extensive new
research, using chronicles, legislation, liturgy, sermons and other sources
to explore the place of art in the lives of the friars and the urban laity of
Central Italy.

Painting under Pressure
Reputation and Demand in Renaissance Florence
Michelle O’Malley
Art 53
In late 15th-century Italy, there was a growing demand for goods of all
types, including art. Painting under Pressure shows how the increased
desire for art objects exerted significant pressure on highly sought-after
painters. Michelle O’Malley analyses the lives and works of four artists:
Alessandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Filippino Lippi and
Pietro Perugino. She considers network systems, production practices,
economic concepts, and workshop input to demonstrate the
consequences of high demand on some of the most respected artists of
the time.

In this fascinating and incisive book, O’Malley asks how painters
approached the manufacture of large bodies of commissioned work,
how they made day-to-day decisions about design and the application
of pigments, and how serial production related to creating work for
commissions, in addition to questions of economics. Using
documentary evidence about price, scientific evidence about production
and formal analysis about appearance, the book demonstrates
Renaissance business practices and shows the individual approaches
artists took to producing excellence and meeting high demand.

The Making of Assisi
The Pope, the Franciscans and the Painting of the Basilica
Donal Cooper and Janet Robson
For a brief moment at the close of the 13th century, the town of Assisi
was the focus for the two greatest powers in the Latin Church: the
Roman papacy and the Franciscan Order. The election in 1288 of
Nicholas IV, the first Franciscan pope, was the catalyst for the creation
of frescoes of unprecedented intellectual ambition in the Basilica of San
Francesco. At the heart of the new decorative scheme were twenty-eight
scenes depicting the life of Saint Francis. Putting to one side the long
debate about whether the Saint Francis cycle was or was not painted by
Giotto, The Making of Assisi takes a fresh approach and treats the cycle

JFK
A Photographic Memoir
Lee Friedlander
The public outpouring of
support for newly elected
President John F. Kennedy
in 1960 was exceeded in
scope and magnitude by
the manifestations of grief
and mourning after his assassination in 1963. These responses
had an unusually strong visual component: likenesses of the
president were framed in shop windows, pinned to living
room walls and plastered in public spaces across the nation.
Fifty years after Kennedy’s death, this book observes the
public’s reaction to the president’s election and assassination,
featuring many photographs published here for the first time.
In his travels throughout America during this period,
Lee Friedlander (b. 1934) encountered these responses and
photographed what he witnessed. From Washington, D.C.,
to Buffalo to Minneapolis to Los Angeles, Friedlander has
captured a moment in American history that galvanised the
nation and continues to resonate today.
Lee Friedlander is a photographer based in New York City.

Portraits
Luc Tuymans
Essays by Robert Storr
and Toby Kamps
With contributions by
Susan Sutton and Clare Elliott
Luc Tuymans is a painter
engaged with ‘figuration’, using
imagery that he reworks in a
critical or self-critical way.
He combines images from various sources – photographs, film
stills, mirror images – with a spare palette, unexpected
cropping, obscured spaces and blurring to reinforce the
painted image’s status as a replica. Perhaps more than any
other genre, portraiture allows Tuymans to explore the balance
between revealing and concealing.
Portraits: Luc Tuymans presents about 30 paintings from bodies of
work ranging over the artist’s entire career. Most seem conventional
portraits – Himmler, 1997/98, A Flemish Intellectual, 1995 – but
others, such as Bloodstains, 1993, and Fingers, 1995, exhibit the
artist’s elliptical approach to re-presentation.

A Conspiracy
of Images
Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter,
and the Art of the Cold War
John J. Curley
In October 1962, a set of blurred
surveillance photographs brought
the world to the brink of nuclear
apocalypse during the Cuban
Missile Crisis. The pictures themselves demonstrated little, and
explanatory captions were necessary to identify the danger for
the public. In the following months, two artists with antithetical
backgrounds arrived at a similar aesthetic: Andy Warhol, who
began his career as a commercial artist in New York City, turned
to the silkscreened replication of violent photographs. Gerhard
Richter, who began as a mural painter in socialist Dresden, East
Germany, painted blurred versions of personal and media
photographs. In A Conspiracy of Images, author John J. Curley
explores how the artists’ developing aesthetic approaches were
informed by the political agency and ambiguity of images
produced during the Cold War, particularly those disseminated
by the mass media on both sides. As the first scholarly
consideration of the visual conditions of the Cold War,
A Conspiracy of Images provides a new and compelling
transatlantic model for Cold War art history.
John J. Curley is assistant professor of art history at Wake
Forest University.

Robert Indiana
Beyond LOVE
Barbara Haskell
With essays by René
Paul Barilleaux and
Sasha Nicholas
Robert Indiana’s popular LOVE works have made the esteemed
Pop artist a household name. Their fame and ubiquity have
also served to eclipse the rest of his dynamic, conceptually
charged work. Robert Indiana: Beyond LOVE is a compelling
reassessment of the artist’s contributions to American art
during his long and prolific career.
Indiana has explored the power of language, American identity
and personal history for five decades. Although visually
dazzling and apparently cheerful on the surface, his imagery
has a depth and a darkness that draws on his own biography as
well as on the myths, history and literature of the United
States.

Wunderkammer, installation, 2012. Photo by Michael Moran
Wunderkammer
Tod Williams and Billie Tsien
Inspired by the idea of the ‘wunderkammer’ – ‘wonder-room’ or ‘cabinet of curiosities’ – that
originated during the Renaissance, world-renowned architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien
invited 42 celebrated architects and designers from around the world to create their own
wunderkammers, filling boxes with objects that inspire them. This delightful book gathers
together the varied, evocative wunderkammers along with accompanying statements by their
architect-creators, including such luminaries as Shigeru Ban, Toyo Ito, Diller Scofidio +
Renfro, Peter Eisenman, Steven Holl, Richard Meier, Murray Moss, Diébédo Francis Keré,
Juhani Pallasmaa, Elias Torres and Peter Zumthor.
An introduction by Williams and Tsien explains their fascination with the wunderkammer and looks at their own history of
collecting. The boxes, each spotlighted in its own section, are explored through each architect’s essay; working drawings and
sketchbook pages; construction and installation photos; a list of the items contained; and a photograph of the final box.
Wunderkammer offers a new way to think about art and inventiveness, collection and meaning in everyday objects.
Tod Williams and Billie Tsien are the founding members of the New York-based architecture firm in their name. Their built
works include the recently relocated Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.

The Houses of Louis Kahn
George H. Marcus and William Whitaker
Louis Kahn is widely admired for his great monumental works, including the Kimbell Art
Museum, the Salk Institute and the National Assembly Complex in Bangladesh. However, the
importance of his houses has been largely overlooked. This book is the first to look at Kahn’s nine
major private houses. Beginning with his earliest encounters with Modernism in the late 1920s
and continuing through his iconic work of the 1960s and 1970s, the authors trace the evolution of
the architect’s thinking, which began and matured through his design of houses and their interiors,
a process inspired by his interactions with clients and his admiration for vernacular building
traditions.
Richly illustrated with new and period photographs and original drawings, The Houses of Louis Kahn shows how his ideas about
domestic spaces challenged conventions, much like his major public commissions, and were developed into one of the most
remarkable expressions of the American house.
George H. Marcus is adjunct assistant professor of the history of art at the University of Pennsylvania. William Whitaker is
curator of the Architectural Archives of the University of Pennsylvania, which houses the Louis I. Kahn Collection.

Lina Bo Bardi
Zeuler R. M. de A. Lima • With a foreword by Barry Bergdoll
Lina Bo Bardi, one of the most important architects working in Latin America in the 20th
century, was remarkably prolific and intriguingly idiosyncratic. A participant in the efforts to
reshape Italian culture in her youth, Bo Bardi immigrated to Brazil with her husband in 1946. In
Brazil, her practice evolved within the social and cultural realities of her adopted country. While
she continued to work with industrial materials like concrete and glass, she added popular
building materials and naturalistic forms to her design palette, striving to create large, multiuse
spaces that welcomed public life.
Lina Bo Bardi is the first comprehensive study of Bo Bardi’s career and showcases author Zeuler
Lima’s extensive archival work in Italy and Brazil. The leading authority on Bo Bardi, Lima frames the architect’s activities on two
continents and in five cities. The book examines how considerations of ethics, politics and social inclusiveness influenced Bo
Bardi’s intellectual engagement with modern architecture and provides an authoritative guide to her experimental, ephemeral and
iconic works of design.
Zeuler R. M. de A. Lima is an architect and associate professor of history, theory and design at the School of Design and Visual

Impressionist France
Visions of Nation from Le Gray to Monet
Simon Kelly and April M. Watson • With essays by Neil McWilliam and Maura Coughlin
Between 1850 and 1880, Impressionist landscape painting and early forms of photography
flourished in France. In the context of massive social and political change that also marked this era,
painters and photographers composed competing visions of France as modern and industrialised or
as rural and anti-modern. Impressionist France explores the resonances between landscape art and
national identity as reflected in the paintings and photographs made during this period, examining
in particular the works of artists such as Edouard Baldus, Gustave Le Gray, the Bisson Frères,
Edouard Manet, Jean-François Millet, Claude Monet, Charles Nègre and Camille Pissarro.

The Art of the Louvre’s Tuileries Garden
Guillaume Fonkenell • With essays by Laura D. Corey, Paula Deitz, Bruce Guenther and Sarah Kennel
The Tuileries Garden is a masterpiece of garden design and one of the world’s most iconic public art
spaces. Designed for Louis XIV by landscape architect André Le Nôtre, it served the now-destroyed
Tuileries Palace. It was opened to the public in 1667, becoming one of the first public gardens in
Europe. The garden has always been a place for Parisians to convene, celebrate and promenade, and
art has played an important role throughout its history. Monumental sculptures give the garden the
air of an outdoor museum, and the garden’s beautiful backdrop has inspired artists from Edouard
Manet to André Kertész.
The Art of the Louvre’s Tuileries Garden brings together 100 works of art, including sculpture, painting, as well as documentary
photographs, prints and models illuminating the garden’s rich history. Beautifully illustrated essays by leading scholars of art and
garden studies highlight the significance of the Tuileries Garden to works of art from the past 300 years and reaffirm its
importance to the history of landscape architecture.

Dallas Museum of Art between 2009 and 2013, the volume comprises twelve beautifully illustrated
essays from leading academics and museum specialists. Opening with a new reading of one of
Gustave Courbet’s great hunting scenes, The Fox in the Snow, and ending with an exploration of a
group of interior scenes by Edouard Vuillard, each essay stands alone as a richly contextualised
reading of a single work or group of works by one artist. The authors approach their subjects from a range of methodological
perspectives, but all pay close attention to the experience of making and viewing works of art.

Chagall
Love, War, and Exile
Susan Tumarkin Goodman • With an essay by Kenneth E. Silver
Art 57
Marc Chagall, one of the foremost modernists of the 20th century, created his unique style by
blending richly coloured folk art with Cubism, Surrealism and imagery drawn from the Russian
Christian icon tradition. Chagall: Love, War, and Exile explores a significant but neglected period in
the artist’s career, from the rise of fascism in the 1930s through the end of the Second World War,
which he spent in Paris and then in exile in New York.
Chagall’s paintings from this time express the horror of the Holocaust as well as hope for the survival
of his people and belief in the ultimate triumph of love. Works of this dark period use many of Chagall’s familiar figures – the
Artist, the Bride, the Clown, the Wandering Jew – set in unexpected, often wrenching scenes. These contrast with lavish flower
paintings that reflect the artist’s adoration of his wife, Bella. Less well known are Chagall’s many canvases depicting the
Crucifixion of Jesus, often depicted explicitly as a Jew, and his rarely seen, dreamlike poems, eleven of which are published here.
Susan Tumarkin Goodman and Kenneth E. Silver perceptively analyse Chagall’s complex iconography and phantasmagorical style,
tracing their Jewish, Christian, autobiographical, French and Russian sources.

André Le Notre, La grande cascade de Marly
André Le Nôtre in Perspective
Edited by Patricia Bouchenot-Déchin and Georges Farhat
André Le Nôtre, principal gardener to Louis XIV, was France’s greatest landscape and garden designer.
The parks created by him at Vaux-le-Vicomte and Versailles are the supreme examples of the French
17th-century style of garden design. He was responsible also for the central pathway through the
Tuileries, which became the grand axis of Paris running to the Arc de Triomphe and on to La Défense.
This magnificent book sheds new light on the royal gardener’s life and his practice as a landscape
architect, engineer and art collector, and examines the legacy of his influence. It highlights his major
achievements and enhances our understanding of the French formal-garden model. Le Nôtre’s
output is re-examined in terms of its social and cultural contexts; its artistic, technological, material
and spatial components; and the dissemination of his ideas. The book contains illustrations of both original documents and the
majority of extant drawings by Le Nôtre and his collaborators. Comprehensive and impeccably researched, André Le Nôtre in
Perspective brings together the scholarship of some of the world’s leading experts in early-modern art, gardens and allied fields.

Van Gogh Repetitions
Eliza Rathbone and William Robinson • With Elizabeth Steele and Marcia Steele
Popular perceptions of Vincent van Gogh frequently envision the painter working before nature in an
emotional frenzy, yet the artist’s method was more often controlled and deliberate. Van Gogh Repetitions
is the first book to focus on the artist’s ‘repetitions’, a term he used to describe his process of producing
multiple versions of a composition. Van Gogh ultimately developed a conceptual framework that
distinguished his répétitions from copies, études, tableaux and décorations, balancing modernist aspirations
towards originality with the creation of multiples. The artist’s practice of producing repetitions was far
more extensive and vital to his creative process than is commonly recognised.

Named the Deutsche Bank Artist of the
Year for 2013, Imran Qureshi combines
traditional motifs and techniques of
Islamic art with contemporary reflections on the relationship
between Islam and the West. His investigations into
ornamentation reference both the miniature painting of the
Mughal tradition, in which he was trained, and large, sitespecific
installations in architectural space, which address both
the building itself and its historical and political meanings. In
May 2013, Qureshi will create the latest rooftop installation for
the Metropolitan Museum. This volume discusses the interplay
between the artist’s vision and the space for which the work
was created. An interview with Qureshi highlights the
traditions from which his work derives, as well as the political
and aesthetic connotations that inform this latest creation.

The Devil’s
Invention
European
Crossbows,
1250–1850
Dirk Breiding
The advent of the crossbow more than 2,500 years ago
effected dramatic changes for hunters and warriors. For
centuries, it was among the most powerful and widely used
handheld weapons, and its popularity endures to this day.
The Devil’s Invention presents a lively, accessible survey of the
crossbow’s ‘golden age’, along with detailed descriptions of
twenty-four remarkable examples.
Beginning in the middle ages, the European aristocracy’s
enthusiasm for the crossbow heralded shooting competitions
and pageants that featured elaborately decorated weapons
bearing elegant embellishments of rare materials and prized
artistry. In addition to being highly functional, these weapons
were magnificent works of art. The Devil’s Invention includes
fascinating descriptions of crossbows used by Margaret of
Savoy and Holy Roman Emperors Maximilian I and Charles
V, among others.

Edited by Perrin Stein
With essays by Charlotte

Housington, Elizabeth
Rudy and Perrin Stein
Over the course of the 18th century a great number of artists,
ranging from established painters and sculptors to amateurs,
experimented with etching, an accessible form of printmaking
akin to drawing. In a period when artists strained to navigate
the highly regulated Académie Royale and the increasingly
discordant public spheres of the marketplace and the Salon,
etching afforded them stylistic freedom and allowed them to
produce exquisite works of art in a spirit of collaboration and
experimentation. Featuring works by Watteau, Boucher,
Fragonard, Hubert Robert and many others, Artists and
Amateurs embarks on a fresh exploration of how etching
flourished in ancien régime France, shedding new light on
artistic practice and patronage at that time.

Volume 34, Titian’s Painting
Technique before 1540
Series Editor Ashok Roy
Edited by Jill Dunkerton
and Marika Spring
Titian is acclaimed as the greatest of
the Venetian masters. His technique
has long fascinated painters and collectors, and his use of oil
paints and the richly coloured pigments available to him in
Venice influenced the subsequent history of European
painting. The National Gallery, London, is home to an
outstanding group of Titian’s paintings, and this special
edition of its annual Technical Bulletin is dedicated to the
study of the artist’s technique in the first part of his career. An
introductory essay focuses on Titian’s painting technique, from
its origins in the workshops of Venice and the Veneto, through
close examination of nine works in the gallery’s collection,
including the stunning Bacchus and Ariadne. The authors also
discuss significant early works from other collections, such as
Christ and the Adulteress and The Triumph of Love. New
research and discoveries, published here for the first time, will
be essential reading for Titian scholars and enthusiasts alike.
Ashok Roy is director of collections, Jill Dunkerton is senior

Poussin’s Sacrament
of Ordination
History, Faith, and the
Sacred Landscape
Jonathan W. Unglaub
Painted by Nicolas Poussin,
The Sacrament of Ordination is a
major milestone of Franco-
Italian classicism of the 17th
century. The magisterial
painting depicts Christ’s charge to Saint Peter and offers a
profound meditation on nature, faith and the epochal
unfolding of sacred history. This lovely book celebrates the
work, recently acquired by the Kimbell Art Museum.
Jonathan W. Unglaub, esteemed authority on the topic, shows
how Poussin ingeniously employed the landscape setting and
seemingly incidental figures to imbue the apparently
conventional but deceptively meaningful painting with a
broad sweep of sacred history. The author also considers the
painting in the context of Poussin’s two series of the Seven
Sacraments and makes the case that the artist redefined the
ambitions of narrative painting and landscape, sowing the
seeds of pictorial classicism.
Jonathan W. Unglaub is chairman and associate professor of
fine arts at Brandeis University.

Francesco Vanni
Art in Late Renaissance Siena
John Marciari
and Suzanne Boorsch
With contributions by Jamie
Gabbarelli and Alexa A. Greist
Francesco Vanni was the most
important artist in Siena at the
turn of the 17th century. His
works combine dazzling technical
virtuosity and brilliant colouring with the naturalistic
approach employed by his more famous contemporaries
Annibale Carracci and Caravaggio. He painted altarpieces for
every significant church in Siena, as well as for Saint Peter’s
and other churches in Rome. Beautifully illustrated and
featuring new research, Francesco Vanni: Art in Late Renaissance
Siena is the definitive resource on the artist.

Violence and Virtue
Artemisia Gentileschi’s
‘Judith Slaying Holofernes’
Eve Straussman-Pflanzer
Violence and Virtue examines a
single, uniquely powerful
painting: Judith Slaying
Holofernes by Artemisia
Gentileschi. A quintessential
example of early Baroque
painting, this work has, more than any other picture in her
oeuvre, come to define Gentileschi as an early modern woman
and a superb Baroque painter. Eve Straussman-Pflanzer
explores the circumstances surrounding the painting’s creation
and the meanings conveyed by the image itself.

Painting in Latin America, 1550–1820
From Conquest to Independence
Luisa Elena Alcala and Jonathan Brown
Art 61
Painting in Latin America, 1550–1820: From Conquest to Independence surveys the diverse styles,
subjects and iconography of painting in Latin America between the 16th and 19th centuries. While
European art forms were widely disseminated, copied and adapted throughout Latin America,
colonial painting is not a derivative extension of Europe. The ongoing debate over what to call it
– mestizo, hybrid, creole, indo-hispanic, tequitqui – testifies to a fundamental yet unresolved
question of identity.
Comparing and contrasting the Viceroyalties of New Spain, with its centre in modern-day Mexico,
and Peru, the authors explore the very different ways the two regions responded to the influence of the Europeans and their art.
A wide range of art and artists are considered, some for the first time. Rich with new photography and primary research, this
book delivers a wealth of new insight into the history of images and the history of art.

Art and Music in Venice
From the Renaissance to Baroque
Edited by Hilliard T. Goldfarb
Artistic and musical creativity thrived in the Venetian Republic between the early 16th century and
the close of the 18th century. The city-state was known for its superb operas and splendid balls, and
the acoustics of the architecture led to complex polyphony in musical composition. Accordingly,
notable composers, including Antonio Vivaldi and Adrian Willaert, developed styles that were
distinct from those of other Italian cultures. The Venetian music scene, in turn, influenced visual
artists, inspiring paintings by artists such as Jacopo Bassano, Canaletto, Francesco Guardi, Pietro
Longhi, Bernardo Strozzi, Giambattista and Domenico Tiepolo, Tintoretto and Titian. Together, art
and music served larger aims, whether social, ceremonial or even political. Lavishly illustrated, Art and Music in Venice brings
Venice’s golden age to life through stunning images of paintings, drawings, prints, manuscripts, textbooks, illuminated choir
books, musical scores and instruments, and period costumes. New scholarship into these objects by a team of distinguished
experts gives a fresh perspective on the cultural life and creative output of the era.

Goya in the Norton Simon Museum
Juliet Wilson-Bareau • Edited by Leah Lehmbeck
During his lifetime, the industrialist and collector Norton Simon amassed a trove of European
paintings, drawings and prints by Rembrandt, Picasso, Degas and others. Simon occasionally
became fascinated with a particular artist’s oeuvre, and that passion inspired him to assemble
monographic holdings of work by several masters, chief among them Francisco de Goya.
This book examines the extraordinary Goya collection, which includes more than 1,400 prints, a
drawing and three paintings, in the founder’s namesake museum. Simon’s enduring interest in serial
images led him to acquire prints from various series and editions, and to compare and contrast
seemingly identical ones. Spotlighting rare proofs and single prints, the catalogue also presents a complete set each of Los
Caprichos, Disasters of War and other seminal series.
Juliet Wilson-Bareau is a pre-eminent scholar of Goya’s work. Leah Lehmbeck is curator at the Norton Simon Museum, where
she oversees the 19th- and 20th-century collections.

Eva Hesse 1965
Edited by Barry Rosen
With a foreword by Susan Fisher
Sterling and contributions by
Jo Applin, Todd Alden
and Kirsten Swenson
In 1964 the industrialist
Friedrich Arnhard Scheidt
invited Eva Hesse and her
husband, Tom Doyle, to a
residency in Kettwig an der Ruhr, Germany. The following
fifteen months marked a significant transformation in Hesse’s
practice. The artist’s studio space was located in an abandoned
textile factory that contained machine parts, tools and materials
that served as inspiration for her complex, linear mechanical
drawings and paintings. In 1965 Hesse expanded on this theme
and began using objects found in the factory and papiermâché,
to produce a series of fourteen vibrantly coloured reliefs
that venture into three-dimensional space with such materials
as wood, metal and cord protruding from the picture plane.
With new scholarship and previously unpublished illustrations,
Eva Hesse 1965 highlights key drawings, paintings and reliefs
from this time, and demonstrates how the artist was able to
rethink her approach to colour, materials and space, and begin
moving toward sculpture, preparing herself for the momentous
strides that she would take upon her return to New York.

New Jersey
as Non-Site
Kelly Baum
Between 1950 and 1975, some of
the postwar era’s most innovative
artists flocked to a very unexpected
place: New Jersey. Appreciating what
others tended to ignore or mock,
they gravitated to the state’s most
desolate peripheries: its industrial wastescapes, crumbling
cities, crowded highways and banal suburbs. There they
produced some of the most important work of their careers.
The breakthroughs in land, conceptual, performance, and sitespecific
art that New Jersey helped catalyse are the subject of
New Jersey as Non-Site, whose title evokes the mixed-media
sculptures that Robert Smithson began to create in 1968 while
driving the state’s highways with Nancy Holt.
This catalogue and the accompanying exhibition examine
more than 100 works by sixteen artists, including Amiri
Baraka, George Brecht, Dan Graham, Allan Kaprow, Gordon
Matta-Clark and George Segal.

Volume Two: 1975–1986
Edited by Patrick Pardo
and Robert Dean
Compiling four-hundred-plus
unique works of art, this volume
traces the shifts and
developments in conceptual artist
John Baldessari’s work from 1975-86. It covers his photobased
works such as the ‘Strobe’, ‘Word Chain’ and ‘Pathetic
Fallacy’ series from 1975; the ‘Violent Space’ and the seminal
‘Concerning Diachronic/Synchronic Time: Above, On, Under
(With Mermaid)’, from 1976; and the ‘Blasted Allegories’
series from 1977–78, which drew heavily from the artist’s vast
collection of photo stills taken from commercial television.
An introductory critical essay will provide a close reading of
selected works and a historical context for understanding
Baldessari’s art from this period. A detailed chronology and
exhibition history and bibliography are also included.
This is the second in a projected four-volume series of the

Contemporary artist
Mariko Mori has transformed herself many times since her
memorable debut onto the international art scene in the mid-
1990s. Over the past two decades, Mori has made a significant
shift in the focus of her work, moving away from self-obsessive
motifs and performance pieces to a diametrically opposite
approach of self-effacement. Her own image has disappeared
from her Pop-oriented work, and her interest now inclines
toward the prehistoric world in which everything existed in an
amorphous state without text, religion, nation, or division
between humankind and nature.
This fascinating book features over 35 immersive installations,
sculptures, drawings (including previously unpublished works)
and videos produced by the artist between 2003 and 2012.

The Islamic world, spanning
centuries and far-flung regions, is
renowned for its diverse cultural
and artistic traditions. This sumptuous book delves into that vast

Museum of Islamic Art, in Doha, Qatar, designed by the
Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei and opened in 2008.
Twelve prominent scholars from across the globe select works
representing various centres of Islamic life, from early Spain to
17th-century India, as well as a range of media including textiles,
ceramics, metalwork and miniature paintings. Authoritative texts
put the objects into context, exploring the relationships to those
people who produced and lived among them.

schools, architects, and writers who influenced and participated
in the dynamic decades of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The
essays describe a time when Iran experienced an outpouring of
original and creative modern art and when the country was very
much a part of the international art world.

In 1915 the American Museum of
Natural History (AMNH)
embarked upon a mission to
energise the American textile
industry. Curators sought to
innovate a distinctly ‘American’ design idiom drawing on a
more universal ‘primitive’ language. Ethnographic objects were
included in study rooms; designers gained access to storage
rooms; and museum artifacts were loaned to design houses
and department stores. In order to attract designers and
reluctant manufacturers, who quickly responded, collections
were supplemented with specimens including fur garments
from Siberia, Persian costumes and Javanese textiles. This book
positions the project at the AMNH in the broader narrative of
early 20th-century design education in New York which
includes the roles of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Brooklyn Museum and the Newark Museum.

While photographs have been exchanged and appropriated in
different contexts since the 19th century, their movement is
now occurring at unprecedented speed. This book examines
photography’s capacity to circulate across time and space as
well as across media, such as art, literature and cinema. Taking
its point of departure from Latin American and Spanish
photographic archives, the volume offers an alternative history
of photography by focusing on the transnational dimension of
technological traffic and image production at a time when
photography is at the centre of debates on the role of
representation, authorship and reception in global culture.

Rituals of Rented Island
Object Theater, Loft Performance,
and the New Psychodrama –
Manhattan, 1970–1982
Jay Sanders with J. Hoberman
This important volume explores three
unique performance art practices of
the 1970s and early 1980s: ‘object
theatre’ (in which artists engage
directly with the objects in the world
around them); ‘loft performance’ (where artists performed in
lofts, storefronts and the alternative spaces of New York’s SoHo);
and ‘new psychodrama’ (in which artists drew on formal
performance modes to explore everyday experience). By tracing
the paths of such artists as Stuart Sherman, Julia Heyward,
Jared Bark and Jill Kroesen, this catalogue makes newly visible
a critical period in the development of performance art.
Rituals of Rented Island examines the disparate yet related
practices of the artists mentioned above alongside those of the
notorious Kipper Kids; composer-musician John Zorn; and
legendary playwright and filmmaker Jack Smith; among others.

With essays by Susan Behrends Frank

American art has been essential to The
Phillips Collection since its founding by
Duncan Phillips in 1921. Phillips
acquired the work of living American artists when it was
unpopular to do so and promoted diversity, as seen in works by
self-taught artists, artists of colour, and naturalised Americans,
resulting in a rich assembly of independent-minded artists. The
Phillips Collection’s superb collection of American art, acquired
over half a century, is presented here for the first time in a
comprehensive overview, featuring 160 works from heroes of the
late 19th century – such as William Merritt Chase, Thomas
Eakins and Winslow Homer, who set the course for modern art
in America – to abstract expressionists Willem de Kooning,
Richard Diebenkorn, Adolph Gottlieb and Mark Rothko, whose
efforts to create a new visual language following the Second
World War brought a new global significance to American art.

Strange Eggs
Claes Oldenburg
and Michelle White
In 1957–58, after he moved to
New York’s Lower East Side,
Claes Oldenburg began making
collages he has described as
‘mostly done in an uncontrolled
and intuitive dream mode’. Made
from found, printed photographic
imagery, the Strange Eggs are
enigmatic, surrealistic, and vastly different from the Pop art of
the 1960s for which he soon became famous.
Inspired by the original avant-garde collage artists, these works
are characterised by self-contained forms, or ‘eggs’, the artist
made by melding cut fragments of photographic
reproductions. While many of the pieces are unrecognisable,
within the amalgamations some original references are
discernible: a piece of pie, the hind leg of a horse, the creased
skin of a clenched fist and the texture of concrete. These
eighteen collages were first shown in their entirety at the
Menil Collection in 2012 and are being published here for the
first time, close to actual size and with a short text by Menil
curator Michelle White.

Juanito and Ramona
Mari Carmen Ramírez
and Marcelo E. Pacheco
Argentinian figurative artist
Antonio Berni is known for
his aesthetic originality and
for art steeped in social
commentary. In the 1950s, he inaugurated a series of works
that documented the lives of two fictional characters, Juanito
Laguna and Ramona Montiel. Through the stories of Juanito,
a denizen of Argentina’s shantytowns, and Ramona, who rises
from the working class to the upper echelons of society, Berni
addressed topics from industrialisation to neocolonialism to
economic backwardness and their effects on the population of
underdeveloped countries. Written by leading scholars of Latin
American art, this volume presents the first comprehensive
survey of the acclaimed Juanito and Ramona series.

Foreword by Richard J. Powell
On July 18, 1863, six months after President Lincoln signed the
Emancipation Proclamation, one of the first American units
composed of African Americans stormed Fort Wagner in South
Carolina, led by Colonel Robert Shaw Gould. Although the
regiment suffered great losses, the Massachusetts 54th Volunteer
Infantry legitimised the idea of blacks serving in the military, and
Lincoln considered their sacrifice a turning point in the Civil
War. Twenty years later, sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens began
work on a bronze memorial for this heroic troop, which was
installed on the Boston Common in 1897. Tell It With Pride
explores the enduring significance of this beloved monument.

Art and Appetite

Edited by Judith A. Barter
With essays by Judith A. Barter,
Annelise K. Madsen, Sarah Kelly
Oehler, Ellen E. Roberts
and Nancy Siegel
Art and Appetite takes a fascinating
new look at depictions of food in
American art, demonstrating that the artists’ representations of
edibles offer thoughtful reflection on the cultural, political,
economic and social moments in which they were created. Using
food as an emblem, artists were able to both celebrate and critique
their society, expressing ideas relating to politics, race, class, gender
and commerce. Focusing on the late 18th century through the
Pop artists of the 20th century, this book investigates meanings
and interpretations of eating in America and features still life,
trompe l’oeil painting, sculpture and other works, by artists such
as William Merritt Chase, John Singleton Copley, Elizabeth
Paxton, Norman Bel Geddes, Stuart Davis, Edward Hopper, Alice
Neel, Wayne Thiebaud, Roy Lichtenstein and many more.

Donna Pierce and Martin Postle
American artists and innovators Benjamin West and John
Singleton Copley changed the way history was recorded in the
18th century. Initially friends but eventually rivals, the artists
painted events as they happened, illustrating the transformation
of imperial power through diplomacy between British
Americans and the Iroquois, and through transatlantic trade,
exploration and the natural history of the West Indies. Focusing
on two iconic works, West’s The Death of General Wolfe and
Copley’s Watson and the Shark, American Adversaries charts the

Literary Studies 69
Jewish and Postcolonial Writing and the Nightmare of History
Bryan Cheyette
In this fascinating and erudite book, Bryan Cheyette throws new light
on a wide range of modern and contemporary writers – some at the
heart of the canon, others more marginal – to explore the power and
limitations of the diasporic imagination after the Second World War.
Moving from early responses to the death camps and decolonisation,
through internationally prominent literature after the Second World
War, the book culminates in fresh engagements with contemporary
Jewish, post-ethnic and postcolonial writers.
Cheyette regards many of the 20th- and 21st-century luminaries he
examines – among them Hannah Arendt, Anita Desai, Frantz Fanon,
Albert Memmi, Primo Levi, Caryl Phillips, Philip Roth, Salman
Rushdie, Edward Said, Zadie Smith and Muriel Spark – as critical
exemplars of the diasporic imagination. Against the discrete disciplinary
thinking of the academy, he elaborates and argues for a new
comparative approach across Jewish and postcolonial histories and
literatures. And in so doing, Cheyette illuminates the ways in which
histories and cultures can be imagined across national and communal
boundaries.

Swann’s Way
In Search of Lost Time, Volume 1
The C. K. Scott Moncrieff Translation
Marcel Proust • Edited and Annotated by William C. Carter
One hundred years have passed since Marcel Proust published the first
volume of what was to become a seven-volume masterpiece, In Search of
Lost Time. In the intervening century his famously compelling novel has
never been out of print and has been translated into dozens of languages.
English-language readers were fortunate to have an early and fine
translation of the novel from Charles Kenneth Scott Moncrieff. With the
passage of time, however, the need for corrections, revisions and
annotations to the Scott Montcrieff translation has become apparent.
Esteemed Proust scholar William C. Carter celebrates the publication
centennial of Swann’s Way with a new, more accurate and illuminating
edition of the first volume of In Search of Lost Time. Carter corrects
previous translating missteps to bring readers closer to Proust’s
intentions while also providing enlightening notes to clarify
biographical, historical and social contexts. Presented in a readerfriendly
format alongside the text, these annotations will enrich and
deepen the experience of Proust’s novel, immersing readers in the world
of an unsurpassed literary genius.

Dream in Shakespeare
From Metaphor to
Metamorphosis
Marjorie Garber
With a new preface by the author
Dream is a central image for
Shakespeare, encompassing at once
the terrors of the irrational and the
creative powers of the imagination –
one’s deepest fears and highest
aspirations. Used in the early plays as a verbal or structural
device, dream becomes, in the tragedies and late romances, a
transforming experience which leads the dreamer towards a
moment of self-awareness. In this illuminating study, now
reissued with a new preface by the author, Marjorie Garber
skillfully charts the development of Shakespeare’s use of dream
from the opening lines of Richard III to the magic of A
Midsummer Night’s Dream to Hamlet’s most famous soliloquy.
Drawing on the works of Freud and other psychologists, but
basing its argument on the language and dramatic structure of
the plays themselves, Dream in Shakespeare presents a coherent
and innovative reading of the plays and their developing
concept of dream.

Reading Dante
Giuseppe Mazzotta
A towering figure in world literature,
Dante wrote his great epic poem
Commedia in the early 14th century.
The work gained universal acclaim
and came to be known as La Divina
Commedia, or The Divine Comedy.
Giuseppe Mazzotta brings Dante and
his masterpiece to life in this
exploration of the man, his cultural milieu and his unendingly
fascinating works.
Based on Mazzotta’s highly popular Yale course, this book offers
a critical reading of The Divine Comedy and selected other
works by Dante. Through an analysis of Dante’s
autobiographical Vita nuova, Mazzotta establishes the poetic and
political circumstances of The Divine Comedy. He situates the
three sections of the poem – Inferno, Purgatory, Paradise –
within the intellectual and social context of the late Middle
Ages, and he explores the political, philosophical and theological
topics with which Dante was particularly concerned.
Giuseppe Mazzotta is Sterling Professor of Humanities in
Italian, Yale University. A specialist in medieval literature, he
also addresses all periods of Italian literature and culture in his
extensive writings.

A fifteen-year-old boy decides to
accompany his severely depressed high
school French teacher on a road trip to
the Canadian province of Quebec,
where the mother tongue of Voltaire and Balzac is still spoken

Green takes many surprising turns, crossing the border from
reality into unreality and back again while encountering
displaced characters from history, literature and the mundane,
often dangerous world.
Selected by Tony Award-winning playwright John Guare from

The African Shore
Rodrigo Rey Rosa
Translated by Jeffrey Gray
In the vein of the writings of
Paul Bowles, Paul Theroux and
V. S. Naipaul, The African Shore
marks a major new instalment in
the genre of dystopic travel
fiction. Rodrigo Rey Rosa,
prominent in today’s Guatemalan
literary world and an author of
growing international reputation,
presents a tale of alienation,
misrecognition, and intrigue set in and around Tangier.
He weaves a double narrative involving a Colombian tourist
pleasurably stranded in Morocco and a young shepherd who
dreams of migrating to Spain and of ‘riches to come’. At the
centre of their tale is an owl both treasured and coveted.
Rey Rosa generates a powerful reality within his imagined
world, and he maintains a narrative tension to the haunting
conclusion, raising small and large questions that linger in the
reader’s mind long after the final page.
Rodrigo Rey Rosa’s works of fiction have been translated and
internationally acclaimed, including Dust on Her Tongue, The
Beggar’s Knife and The Pelcari Project. Jeffrey Gray is professor

motion while settling a fingertip to the
counter, turning her head slightly, gold
earrings brushing her cheek while she
watched you or watched nothing at all;
this desire was open, like a wound; and

passion’. Michon probes the destructive

The Hooligan’s Return
A Memoir
Norman Manea
Translated by Angela Jianu
At the centre of The Hooligan’s
Return is the author himself,
always an outcast, on a bleak
lifelong journey through Nazism
and communism to exile in
America. But while Norman
Manea’s book is in many ways a
memoir, it is also a deeply
imaginative work, traversing time and place, life and literature,
dream and reality, past and present. Autobiographical events
merge with historic elements, always connecting the individual
with the collective destiny. Manea speaks of the bloodiest time
of the 20th century and of the emergence afterward of a
global, competitive and sometimes cynical modern society.
The Hooligan’s Return achieves a subtle internal harmony as
anxiety evolves into a delicate irony and a burlesque fantasy.
Norman Manea is Francis Flournoy Professor of European
Culture and writer-in-residence at Bard College. Since arriving
in the West from his native Romania he has received many
awards, and his work has been translated into more than
twenty languages. Angela Jianu is a translator and historian.

Pierre Michon
Translated by Jody
Gladding and
Elizabeth Deshays
Rimbaud The Son,
widely celebrated
upon its publication in France,
investigates the life of a writer, the
writing life and the art of life-writing.
Pierre Michon examines the storied life
of the French poet Arthur Rimbaud by
means of a new literary genre: a
meditation on the life of a legend as
witnessed by his contemporaries, those
who knew him before the legends took
hold. Michon introduces us to Rimbaud
the son, friend, schoolboy, renegade,
drunk, sexual libertine, visionary and
ultimately poet. Michon focuses no less
on the creative act: What presses a
person to write? To pursue excellence?
Jody Gladding, a poet and translator,

the French. Elizabeth Deshays is a

The Margellos World Republic of Letters

72 Politics & Philosophy
Philosophy of Dreams
Christoph Türcke
Translated by Susan H. Gillespie
Why has mankind developed so
differently from other animals? How
and why did language, culture,
religion and the arts come into being?
Christoph Türcke offers a new answer
to these questions by scrutinising the
phenomenon of the dream, using it as
a psychic fossil connecting us with
our Stone Age ancestors. Provocatively, he argues that both
civilisation and mental processes are the results of a compulsion
to repeat early traumas, one to which hallucination,
imagination, mind, spirit and God all developed in response.
Until the beginning of the modern era, repetition was
synonymous with de-escalation and calming down. Then,
automatic machinery gave rise to a new type of repetition,
whose effects are permanent alarm and distraction. The new

Civil Disobedience
An American Tradition
Lewis Perry
The American tradition of civil
disobedience stretches back to pre-
Revolutionary War days. Tracing the
origins of the notion of civil
disobedience to 18th-century
evangelicalism and republicanism,
Lewis Perry discusses how the
tradition took shape in the actions
of black and white abolitionists and antiwar protesters in the
decades leading to the Civil War, then found new expression
in post-Civil War campaigns for women’s equality, temperance
and labour reform. Gaining new strength and clarity from
explorations of Thoreau’s essays and Gandhi’s teachings, the
tradition persisted through the Second World War, grew
stronger during the decades of civil rights protest and antiwar
struggles, and has been adopted more recently by antiabortion
groups, advocates of same-sex marriage, opponents of
nuclear power and many others. Perry clarifies some of the
central implications of civil disobedience that have become
blurred in recent times and highlights the dilemmas faced by
those who choose to violate laws in the name of a higher
morality.

A Theory of Militant
Democracy
The Ethics of Combatting Political
Extremism
Alexander S. Kirshner
How should pro-democratic forces
safeguard representative government
from anti-democratic forces? By
granting rights of participation to
groups that do not share democratic
values, democracies may endanger the
very rights they have granted; but
denying these rights may also
undermine democratic values.
Alexander Kirshner offers a set of
principles for determining when one
may reasonably refuse rights of
participation, and he defends this
theory through real-world examples,
ranging from the far-right British
Nationalist Party to Turkey’s Islamist
Welfare Party to America’s Democratic
Party during Reconstruction.
Alexander S. Kirshner is an assistant
professor of political science at Duke
University and a senior fellow at the

Adam Smith’s Pluralism
Rationality, Education,
and the Moral Sentiments
Jack Russell Weinstein
In this thought-provoking study,
Jack Russell Weinstein suggests the
foundations of liberalism can be found
in the writings of Adam Smith
(1723–1790), a pioneer of modern
economic theory and major figure in
the Scottish Enlightenment. While
offering an interpretive methodology for
approaching Smith’s two major works,
The Theory of Moral Sentiments and
The Wealth of Nations, Weinstein argues
against the libertarian interpretation of
Smith, emphasising his philosophies of
education and rationality. Weinstein
also demonstrates that Smith should be
recognised for a prescient theory of
pluralism that prefigures current
theories of cultural diversity.
Jack Russell Weinstein is Professor of
Philosophy and Director of the Institute
for Philosophy in Public Life at the

The Warburg Years
(1919–1933)
Essays on Language, Art, Myth,
and Technology
Ernst Cassirer • Translated and with
an introduction by S. G. Lofts
with A. Calcagno
The Jewish German philosopher
Ernst Cassirer was one of the leading
proponents of the Marburg school of
neo-Kantianism. The essays in this
volume provide a window into Cassirer’s
discovery of the symbolic nature of
human existence – the fact that our
entire emotional and intellectual life is
configured and formed through the
originary expressive power of word and
image, that it is in and through the
symbolic cultural systems of language,
art, myth, religion, science and
technology that human life realises itself
and attains not only its form, its
visibility, but also its reality.

Talent Wants to Be Free
Why We Should Learn to Love
Leaks, Raids, and Free Riding
Orly Lobel
This timely book challenges
conventional business wisdom about
competition, secrecy, motivation and
creativity. Orly Lobel warns that a set
of counterproductive mentalities are
stifling innovation in many regions
and companies.
In every industry battles to recruit, retain, train, energise and
motivate the best people are fierce. Lobel uncovers factors that
produce winners or losers in the talent wars. Combining
behavioural experiments with observations of contemporary
battles over ideas, secrets and skill, Lobel identifies motivation,
relationships and mobility as the most important ingredients for
successful innovation. Yet many companies relying more on
patents, copyright, branding, espionage and restrictions of their
own talent than on creative energies that are waiting to be
unleashed. Lobel presents a set of positive changes in corporate
strategies, industry norms, regional policies and national laws
that will incentivise talent flow, creativity and growth.

Through a
Screen Darkly
Popular Culture, Public Diplomacy,
and America’s Image Abroad
Martha Bayles
What does the world admire most
about America? Science, technology,
higher education, consumer goods –
but not, it seems, freedom and
democracy. Indeed, these ideals are in
global retreat, for reasons ranging from ill-conceived foreign
policy to the financial crisis and the sophisticated propaganda
of modern authoritarians. Another reason, explored for the
first time in this pathbreaking book, is the distorted picture of
freedom and democracy found in America’s cultural exports.
In interviews with thoughtful observers in eleven countries,
Martha Bayles heard many objections to the violence and
vulgarity pervading today’s popular culture. But she also heard
a deeper complaint: namely, that America no longer shares the
best of itself. Tracing this change to the end of the Cold War,
Bayles shows how public diplomacy was scaled back, and inyour-face
entertainment became America’s de facto ambassador.

Barley, Gold, or Fiat
Toward a Pure Theory of Money
Thomas Quint and
Martin Shubik
Using simple but rigorously defined
mathematical models, Thomas Quint
and Martin Shubik explore monetary
control in a simple exchange economy.
Examining how money enters, circulates
and exits an economy, they consider the
nature of trading systems and the role
of government authority in the
exchange of consumer goods for
storable money; exchanges made with
durable currency, such as gold; fiat
currency, which is flexible but has no
consumption value; conditions under
which borrowers can declare
bankruptcy; and the distinctions
between individuals who lend their own
money, and financiers, who lend others.

Unbalanced
The Co-Dependence of America
and China
Stephen Roach
The modern-day Chinese and US
economies have been locked in an
uncomfortable embrace since the late
1970s. Although the relationship was
built on a set of mutual benefits, in
recent years it has taken on the
trappings of an unstable co-dependence.
This insightful book lays bare the
pitfalls of the current China-US
economic relationship, highlighting
disputes over trade policies and
intellectual property rights, sharp
contrasts in leadership styles, the role of
the internet and the political economy
of social stability.
Roach describes a way out of the
escalating tensions of co-dependence and
insists that the Next China offers much
for the Next America – and vice versa.

Water 4.0
The Past, Present, and Future of the World’s Most Vital Resource
David L. Sedlak
Turn on the tap, and water pours out. Pull out the plug, and the dirty water disappears. Most of us
give little thought to the hidden systems that bring us water and take it away, but these
underappreciated marvels of engineering face an array of challenges that cannot be solved without a
fundamental change to our relationship with water, explains this book. To make informed decisions
about the future, we need to understand the three revolutions in urban water systems that have
occurred over the past 2,500 years and the technologies that will remake the system.
The author starts by describing Water 1.0, the early Roman aqueducts, fountains and sewers that
made dense urban living feasible. He then details the development of drinking water and sewage
treatment systems – the second and third revolutions in urban water. He offers an insider’s look at current systems that rely on
reservoirs, underground pipe networks, treatment plants and storm sewers to provide water that is safe to drink, before addressing
how these water systems will have to be reinvented. For everyone who cares about reliable, clean, abundant water, this book is
essential reading.

The Climate Casino
Risk, Uncertainty, and Economics for a Warming World
William Nordhaus
Climate change is profoundly altering our world in ways that pose major risks to human societies and
natural systems. We have entered the Climate Casino and are rolling the global-warming dice, warns
economist William Nordhaus. But there is still time to turn around and walk back out of the casino,
and in this essential book the author explains how.
Bringing together all the important issues surrounding the climate debate, Nordhaus describes the
science, economics and politics involved – and the steps necessary to reduce the perils of global warming.
Using accessible language and taking care to present different points of view, he discusses the problem
from the beginning, where warming originates in our personal energy use, to the end, where societies
employ regulations or taxes or subsidies to slow the emissions of gases responsible for climate change.
Nordhaus offers a new analysis of why earlier policies, such as the Kyoto Protocol, failed to slow carbon dioxide emissions, how
new approaches can succeed, and which policy tools will most effectively reduce emissions. In short, he clarifies a defining
problem of our times and lays out the next critical steps for slowing the trajectory of global warming.

The Bet
Paul Ehrlich, Julian Simon, and Our Gamble over Earth’s Future
Paul Sabin
In 1980, the iconoclastic economist Julian Simon challenged celebrity biologist Paul Ehrlich to a bet.
Their wager on the future prices of five metals captured the public’s imagination as a test of coming
prosperity or doom. Ehrlich, author of the landmark book The Population Bomb, predicted that rising
populations would cause overconsumption, resource scarcity and famine – with apocalyptic
consequences for humanity. Simon optimistically countered that human welfare would flourish
thanks to flexible markets, technological change and our collective ingenuity.
The Bet weaves the two men’s lives and ideas together with the era’s partisan political clashes over the
environment and the role of government. In a lively narrative leading from the dawning
environmentalism of the 1960s through the pivotal presidential contest between Jimmy Carter and
Ronald Reagan and on into the 1990s, Paul Sabin shows how the fight between Ehrlich and Simon – between environmental fears
and free-market confidence – helped create the gulf separating environmentalists and their critics today.

Birds of New Zealand
A Photographic Guide
Paul Scofield
Photography by Brent Stephenson
New Zealand’s birdlife developed
extraordinary diversity as consequence
of evolving on isolated islands without
mammalian predators. For many
years, habitat destruction brought on
by humans posed a distinct threat to
the wide variety of birdlife, but thanks
to recent conservation efforts, many of the country’s species of
birds are now protected in parks and island sanctuaries.
Illustrated with nearly a thousand new photographs from one of
New Zealand’s top nature photographers and drawing on the
latest information from birders and biologists, Birds of New
Zealand offers a definitive introduction to the identification and
behaviour of the country’s extraordinary avian life. The book
includes expert and up-to-date information on the 345 bird
species found in New Zealand, including species ranging from
albatrosses and shearwaters to kiwi and kaka. It will be a

Field Experiments and Their Critics
Essays on the Uses and Abuses of Experimentation
in the Social Sciences
Edited by Dawn Langan Teele
In recent years, social scientists have engaged in a deep debate
over the methods appropriate to their research. Their long
reliance on passive observational collection of information has
been challenged by proponents of experimental methods
designed to precisely infer causal effects through active
intervention in the social world. Some scholars claim that field
experiments represent a new gold standard and the best way
forward, while others insist that these methods carry inherent
inconsistencies, limitations or ethical dilemmas that
observational approaches do not. This unique collection of
essays by the most influential figures on every side of this
debate reveals its most important stakes and will provide
useful guidance to students and scholars in many disciplines.
‘An excellent book on a subject that lies at the center of
current methodological debates in the social sciences. The
volume brings together many of the leading protagonists and
antagonists (i.e., skeptics) of the experimental method and in
the process illustrates the strengths, and the limitations, of
this powerful method. Astute and readable. Highly
recommended.’ – John Gerring, author of Social Science

The Proteus Paradox
How Online Games and Virtual
Worlds Change Us – And How
They Don’t
Nick Yee
Proteus, the mythical sea god who
could alter his appearance at will,
embodies one of the promises of
online games: the ability to reinvent
oneself. Yet inhabitants of virtual
worlds rarely achieve this liberty,
Nick Yee contends. In fact, though online games evoke a sense of
freedom and escapism, careful research demonstrates that
nothing could be farther from the truth. Yee shows that virtual
worlds perpetuate social norms and stereotypes from the offline
world, encouraging racism, misogyny, superstitious thinking and
other malicious attitudes. Further, the author finds that virtual
worlds provide unparalleled – but rarely recognised – tools for
controlling how players think and behave.
Yee breaks down misconceptions about who plays fantasy
games and the extent to which the online and offline worlds
operate separately. With a wealth of entertaining and
provocative examples, he explains in lay terms what virtual
worlds are about and why they matter.
Nick Yee is a senior research scientist at Ubisoft, where he
studies online game player behaviour. He is widely known for
the Daedalus Project, an extensive study of online role playing.

Raising Henry
A Memoir of Motherhood,
Disability, and Discovery
Rachel Adams
Rachel Adams’s life had always gone
to plan. She had an adoring
husband, a two-year-old son, a sunny
Manhattan apartment and a position
at Columbia University. Everything
changed with the birth of her second
child, Henry. Just minutes after he
was born, doctors told her that Henry had Down syndrome, and
she knew that her life would never be the same.
In this honest, self-critical and surprisingly funny book, Adams
chronicles the first three years of Henry’s life and her own
transformative experience of unexpectedly becoming the mother
of a disabled child. A highly personal story of one family’s
encounter with disability, Raising Henry is also an insightful
exploration of today’s knotty terrain of social prejudice,
disability policy, genetics, prenatal testing, medical training and
inclusive education. Adams untangles the contradictions of
living in a society that is more enlightened and supportive of
people with disabilities than ever before, yet is racing to perfect
prenatal tests to prevent children like Henry from being born.

The Global War for
Internet Governance
Laura DeNardis
The internet has transformed the
manner in which information is
exchanged and business is
conducted, arguably more than any
other communication development
in the past century. Despite its wide
reach and powerful global influence,
it is a medium uncontrolled by any
one centralised system, organisation or governing body, a
reality that has given rise to all manner of free-speech issues
and cybersecurity concerns. The conflicts surrounding internet
governance are the new spaces where political and economic
power is unfolding in the 21st century.
This study reveals the inner power structure already in place
within the architectures and institutions of Internet
governance. It provides a theoretical framework for internet
governance that takes into account the privatisation of global
power as well as the role of sovereign nations and international
treaties. In addition, DeNardis explores what is at stake in
open global controversies and stresses the responsibility of the
public to actively engage in these debates.

A Social History of Hebrew
Its Origins Through the Rabbinic Period
William M. Schniedewind
More than simply a method of communication shared by a
common people, the Hebrew language was always an integral
part of the Jewish cultural system and, as such, tightly
interwoven into the lives of the prophets, poets, scribes and
priests who used it. In this unique social history, William
Schniedewind examines classical Hebrew from its origins in
the second millennium BCE until the Rabbinic period, when
the principles of Judaism as we know it today were
formulated, to view the story of the Israelites through the lens
of their language.
Considering classical Hebrew from the standpoint of a writing
system as opposed to vernacular speech, Schniedewind
demonstrates how the Israelites’ long history of migration, war,
exile and other momentous events, is reflected in Hebrew’s
linguistic evolution. An excellent addition to the fields of
biblical and Middle Eastern studies, this fascinating work
brings linguistics and social history together for the first time
to explore an ancient culture.

Lillian Hellman
An Audacious Life
Dorothy Gallagher
Glamorous, talented, audacious –
Lillian Hellman knew everyone, did
everything, had been everywhere.
By the age of 29 she had written
The Children’s Hour, the first of four
hit Broadway plays, and soon she
was considered a member of
America’s first rank of dramatists.
Apart from her work, Hellman lived a rich life filled with
notable friendships, political activity and controversy, travel and
love affairs, most importantly with Dashiell Hammett. But by
the time she died, the truth about her life and accomplishments
had been called into question. Scandals attached to her name to
do with sex, money and with her own veracity.
Dorothy Gallagher confronts the conundrum that was Lillian
Hellman – a woman with a capacity to inspire outrage as often
as admiration. Exploring Hellman’s leftist politics, her Jewish
and Southern background and her famous testimony before
the House Un-American Activities Committee, Gallagher also
undertakes a new reading of Hellman’s carefully crafted
memoirs and plays, in which she is both revealed and hidden.
Dorothy Gallagher’s books include Hannah’s Daughters, All the

The Formation of the Jewish Canon
Timothy H. Lim
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls provides unprecedented
insight into the nature of the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament
before its fixation. Timothy Lim here presents a complete
account of the formation of the canon in Ancient Judaism
from the emergence of the Torah in the Persian period to the
final acceptance of the list of twenty-two/twenty-four books in
the Rabbinic period.
Using the Hebrew Bible, the Scrolls, the Apocrypha, the Letter
of Aristeas, the writings of Philo, Josephus, the New
Testament and Rabbinic literature as primary evidence he
argues that throughout the post-exilic period up to around
100 CE there was not one official ‘canon’ accepted by all Jews;
rather, there existed a plurality of collections of scriptures that
were authoritative for different communities. Examining the
literary sources and historical circumstances that led to the
emergence of authoritative scriptures in ancient Judaism, Lim
proposes a theory of the majority canon that posits that the
Pharisaic canon became the canon of Rabbinic Judaism in the
centuries after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple.

Bernard Berenson
A Life in the Picture Trade
Rachel Cohen
Few would have predicted that
Bernard Berenson, from a poor
Lithuanian Jewish immigrant
family, would rise above poverty.
Yet Berenson left his crowded home
near Boston’s railyards and
transformed himself into the
world’s most renowned expert on
Italian Renaissance paintings. The explosion of the Gilded Age
art market, and Berenson’s work for dealer Joseph Duveen,
supported a luxurious life, but came with painful costs:
Berenson hid his origins, and, though his attributions remain
foundational, he felt that he had betrayed his gifts as a critic
and interpreter of paintings.
This portrait of Berenson, the first biography devoted to him in
a quarter century, draws on new archival materials that bring
out the significance of his business dealings and the importance
of several women in his life and work: his sister Senda Berenson,
his wife Mary Berenson, his patroness Isabella Stewart Gardner,
his lover Belle da Costa Greene, his dear friend Edith Wharton,
and the companion of his last forty years, Nicky Mariano.

Charity
The Place of the Poor in the
Biblical Tradition
Gary A. Anderson
It has long been acknowledged that
Jews and Christians distinguished
themselves through charity to the
poor. Though ancient Greeks and
Romans were also generous, they
funded theatres and baths rather
than poorhouses and orphanages.
How might we explain this difference?
In this significant reappraisal of charity in the biblical
tradition, Gary Anderson argues that the poor constituted the
privileged place where Jews and Christians met God. Though
concerns for social justice were not unknown to early Jews and
Christians, the poor achieved the importance they did
primarily because they were thought to be ‘living altars’, a
place to make a sacrifice, a loan to God that he, as the
ultimate guarantor, could be trusted to repay in turn.
Contrary to the assertions of Reformation and modern critiques,
belief in a heavenly treasury was not just about self-interest.
Sifting through biblical and postbiblical texts, Anderson shows
how charity affirms the goodness of the created order; the
world was created through charity and therefore rewards it.
Gary A. Anderson is Hesburgh Professor of Catholic
Theology, University of Notre Dame. His most recent book,

The Great Rent Wars
New York, 1917–1929
Robert M. Fogelson
The Great Rent Wars tells the
fascinating but little-known story of
the battles between landlords and
tenants in America’s largest city
from 1917 through 1929. These
conflicts were triggered by the postwar
housing shortage, which
prompted landlords to raise rents,
drove tenants to go on rent strikes, and spurred the state
legislature, a conservative body dominated by upstate
Republicans, to impose rent control in New York, a radical and
unprecedented step that transformed landlord-tenant relations.
The Great Rent Wars traces the tumultuous history of rent
control in New York from its inception to its expiration as it
unfolded in New York, Albany and Washington, D.C. At the
heart of this story are such memorable figures as Al Smith,
Fiorello H. La Guardia and Oliver Wendell Holmes, as well as
a host of tenants, landlords, judges and politicians who have
long been forgotten. Fogelson also explores the heated debates
over landlord-tenant law, housing policy and other issues that
are as controversial today as they were a century ago.
Robert M. Fogelson is professor of urban studies and history
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of
several books, most recently Downtown: Its Rise and Fall,
1880–1930, and Bourgeois Nightmares: Suburbia, 1870 –1930,
both published by Yale.

Before the Door of God
An Anthology of Devotional Poetry
Edited by Jay Hopler
and Kimberly Johnson
Before the Door of God traces the
development of devotional Englishlanguage
poetry from its origins in
ancient hymnody to its current 21stcentury
incarnations. The poems in
this volume demonstrate not only that
devotional poetry – poetry that speaks to the divine – remains
in vigorous practice, but also that the tradition reaches back to
the very origins of poetry in English. There is a sense in these
pages that the tradition of lyric poetry that developed was
nearly inevitable, given the inherent concerns of the genre.
Featuring the work of poets over a three-thousand-year period,
Before the Door of God places the devotional lyric in its
cultural, historical and aesthetic contexts.
Jay Hopler is associate professor of English at the University
of South Florida. He received the prestigious Yale Series of
Younger Poets Award in 2005 for his first book of poems,
Green Squall. Kimberly Johnson is associate professor of
English at Brigham Young University. She is the author of two
collections of poetry and a translation of Virgil’s Georgics.

Judges 1–12
A New Translation
Introduction and Commentary by Jack M. Sasson
Informed by the literature and language of the ancient Near
East, this new commentary to Chapters 1 to 12 of the biblical
Book of Judges provides a literary and theological analysis of
some of Scripture’s most stirring narratives and verses.
Addressed are issues about the techniques that advance the text’s
objectives, the impulses behind its composition, the
motivations behind its preservation, the diversity of
interpretations during its transmission in several ancient
languages and the learned attention it has gathered over time in
faith traditions, Jewish, Christian and Muslim. In its pages is a
fair sampling from ancient Near Eastern documents to illumine
specific biblical passages or to bolster the interpretation of
contexts. A comprehensive Introduction surveys issues and
approaches in the study of Judges. Introductory Remarks identify
issues of religious, social, cultural or historical significance
appropriate to each segment. As such, they provide a
background to the Notes and a frame for the exposition in the
concluding Comments.
Jack M. Sasson is Mary Jane Werthan Professor of Jewish
Studies and Hebrew Bible at Vanderbilt University.

Walter Benjamin’s Hypothetical
French Trauerspiel
Edited by Hall Bjørnstad

In the summer of 1927, Walter
Benjamin wrote about a possible future
project on what he called French
Trauerspiel, or mourning drama. In this
volume of Yale French Studies, an
international team of leading scholars of
early modern Europe takes its cue from
that lapsed project to reread the 17thcentury
French tragic canon as
Trauerspiel.

A Common Faith
Second Edition
John Dewey • With an introduction
by Thomas Alexander
In A Common Faith, eminent American
philosopher John Dewey calls for the
‘emancipation of the true religious
quality’ from the heritage of dogmatism
and supernaturalism that he believes
characterises historical religions. He
describes how the depth of religious
experience and the creative role of faith
in the resources of experience to generate
meaning and value can be cultivated
without making cognitive claims that
compete with or contend with scientific
ones. What Dewey advocates is ‘faith in
the common’ as the ground of meaning.
In a new introduction, Thomas
Alexander contextualises the text for
students and scholars.
John Dewey (1859–1952) was an
American philosopher, psychologist and
educational reformer. Thomas
Alexander is professor of philosophy at
Southern Indiana University.
