TUTANKHAMUN AND CARTER

ASSESSINGTHE IMPACTOFA MAJOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIND

Edited by Rogerio Sousa, Gabriele Pieke and Tine Bagh

One hundred years after its discovery, this book revisits Tutankhamun’s tomb with a view to reassessing the circumstances in which it was excavated by Carter and to estimate how it has impacted both scientific and popular representations of Egypt at large. In short, it examines the find of Tutankhamun as a multidimension cultural phenomenon involving aspects concerning the historical circumstances of the find, how it was studied over the years, how it impacted our knowledge on Tutankhamun’s reign and our own perception of Egyptian civilization. The studies are presented along four sections, addressing different, yet complementary aspects of Tutankhamun’s ‘phenomenon’.

• First scholarly, multi-disciplinary re-assessment of Howard Carter’s discovery and excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb and the impact of the find on our understanding of the material culture of Ancient Egypt.

• Examines the impact of the find on popular culture, the rise of ‘Tut-mania’ and the revival of ancient Egyptian design and influence in a variety of modern media.

• Explores new data and interpretations derived from examination of the less spectacular contents of the tomb and the results of conservation programmes.

NORTHWOLD MANOR REBORN ARCHITECTURE, ARCHAEOLOGYAND RESTORATIONOFA DERELICT NORFOLK HOUSE

Warwick Rodwell

This volume presents a fascinating, superbly illustrated, account by one of the UK’s leading architectural historians, of the history, dereliction and restoration of Northwold Manor, a complex, originally Tudor, manor house. The Manor, with its fine drawing room, ballroom and orangery, was the grandest house in Northwold, and research into the families that occupied it revealed unexpected connections to the French Bourbon Court and Howard Carter, discoverer of Tutankhamun’s tomb. This book describes the investigation, recording and restoration of the principal elements of the manor complex, and demonstrates and explains by example the need for full research and recording prior to restoration of historic houses and how to undertake sensitive and historically referenced updates.

COLONISATION AND CHRISTIANITY

THE LONG SETTLEMENTOF VIKING AGEAND MEDIEVAL SKAGAFJÖRÐUR, NORTH ICELAND

Edited

by John M. Steinberg, Douglas Bolender, Kathryn A. Catlin, Brian N. Damiata & Gudn´y Zoëga

This volume details the first major landscape study of Viking Age to Early Christian settlement patterns in Iceland based on archaeological excavation, geophysics, geoarchaeology, high precision dating and documentary research. The survey revealed 32 Viking Age and medieval farmstead sites and seven early Christian household cemeteries at 20 modern farm properties. Colonisation and Christianity presents detailed analyses of these, alongside environmental data charting development of the early medieval agropastoral system and early introduction of barley. The results of the project confirm that the Viking Age settlement, which started in about AD 870, was rapid and the landscape itself was filled in by immigrants from Northern Europe within 60 years, as the Icelandic Family Sagas suggest.

• First major landscape study of Viking Age to Early Christian settlement patterns in Iceland based on archaeological excavation, geophysics, geoarchaeology, high precision dating and documentary research.

TUDOR AND STUART ROYAL GARDENS

David Jacques

Broadly speaking, the start of Tudor times was when it was acknowledged that fine gardens were essential to creating a good impression on visiting dignitaries.

Material is drawn from a variety of sources, to highlight the internationalism and diplomatic theme of Royal Gardens and to produce original interpretations of the improvements to the dozen or so Royal Gardens over time. The research is summarised into a series of 32 ground plans of the royal properties to illustrate their form and development.

• The book will be of interest to those interested in the history of garden design, post-medieval archaeology, social and political history, topographical history, Court studies and Renaissance studies.

• Unique in its interpretation of royal garden in international diplomatic terms.

LIONEL BARRYMORE CHARACTERAND ENDURANCEIN HOLLYWOOD’S GOLDEN AGE

Kathleen Spaltro

Once called “the most gifted character actor of our time” by Arthur Hopkins, Lionel Barrymore (1878–1954) was part of the illustrious Barrymore acting dynasty. Although he garnered success on stage and screen, he never quite escaped the shadow of his family members. Kathleen Spaltro examines Lionel Barrymore as a detailed, multifaceted individual rather than just a supporting cast member of the famous dynasty. This comprehensive study divides Barrymore’s life into three compelling acts. Act One follows Barrymore’s early days; Act Two details Barrymore’s establishment as a fixture at MGM and his success as the first actor to thrive in the talkies; and, finally, Act Three expounds on Barrymore’s curation of his trademark character and his fateful final years.

HELEN MORGAN THE ORIGINAL TORCH SINGERAND ZIEGFELD’S LAST STAR

Christopher S. Connelly

An emotive soprano, heartrending melodies about unrequited love, and a drapedover-the-piano persona made Helen Morgan (1902–1941) the original torch singer, but she was so much more. This is the first biography of the gifted performer since 1974. Christopher Connelly utilizes interviews, newspaper articles, and family scrapbooks to present an honest and unflinching look at Morgan’s life. Connelly’s meticulous research addresses Morgan’s troubled childhood, including her mother’s six marriages, and the trauma of her stepfather’s arrest and conviction for manslaughter in 1913. Also revealed are details regarding her early career in vaudeville and silent film, insights into the speakeasy and supper-club culture that served as a backdrop to Morgan’s career, and accounts of her outstanding accomplishments, philanthropic actions, and enduring popularity.

Drawing on foreign-language biographies, Montand’s autobiography, specialised studies, interviews, and other archival materials, this is a riveting and multidimensional account of Montand’s story and legacy.
