Architecture 1

Forty years after his first published venture into the world of Elizabethan and Jacobean architecure, a great architectural historian returns to the subject to cover this rich field in detail

Main image: Hatfield House, Hertfordshire.

Inset: Burghley House, Lincolnshire.

Elizabethan Architecture Its Rise and Fall, 1540–1640 Mark Girouard Elizabethan and Jacobean architecture—not the friendly, unassuming architecture of the vernacular but the uniquely strange and exciting buildings put up by the great and powerful, ranging from huge houses to gem-like pavilions and lodges designed for feasting and hunting—is a phenomenon as remarkable as the literature which accompanied it, the literature of Shakespeare, Spenser, Sidney, Marlow, Jonson, Campion and others.

Mark Girouard is the leading historian of Elizabethan and Jacobean architecture. His books published by Yale include Life in the English Country House, Town and Country, The Victorian Country House and The English Town, among many others.

June 400 pp. 295x248mm.

200 b/w + 350 colour illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-09386-5 £45.00*

In this beautiful and fascinating book, Girouard discusses social structure and the way of life behind it, the evolution of the house plan, the excitement of English patrons and craftsmen as they learnt about the classic Five Orders and the buildings of Ancient Rome, the surprising wealth of architectural drawings which survive from the period, the inroads of foreign craftsmen who brought new fashions in ornament, but also the strength of the native tradition which was creatively integrated with the ‘antique’ style. Behind the book is a vivid consciousness of the European scene: Italy, France, central Europe and above all the Low Countries and their influence on England. But the principal argument of the book is the unique individuality of the English achievement.

The result of new research and fieldwork, as well as a lifetime’s observation and scholarship, this remarkable book displays Girouard’s unique sense of style and his enduring excitement for the architecture of the period.

2 Religion/Philosophy

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

Reason, Faith, and Revolution Reflections on the God Debate Terry Eagleton Terry Eagleton’s witty and polemical Reason, Faith, and Revolution is bound to cause a stir among scientists, theologians, people of faith and people of no faith, as well as general readers eager to understand the ‘God Debate’. On the one hand, Eagleton demolishes what he calls the ‘superstitious’ view of God held by most atheists and agnostics, and offers in its place a revolutionary account of the Christian Gospel.

On the other hand, he launches a stinging assault on the betrayal of this revolution by institutional Christianity.

Terry Eagleton is Bailrigg Professor of English Literature at the University of Lancaster and Professor of Cultural Theory at the National University of Ireland, Galway. He lives in Dublin.

There is little joy here, then, either for the anti-God brigade—Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens in particular—nor for many conventional believers. Instead, Eagleton offers his own vibrant account of religion and politics in a book that ranges from the Holy Spirit to the recent history of the Middle East, from Thomas Aquinas to the Twin Towers.

“Eagleton, unsurprisingly, has written an elegant, literate, cogent consideration of a maddeningly slippery topic, one whose conclusions run contrary to conventional wisdom, especially in this country.”

History 3

A controversial reassessment of Mary Tudor’s efforts to eradicate Protestantism and restore Catholicism in mid16th-century England, written by a leading authority on the history of Christianity

Fires of Faith Catholic England under Mary Tudor Eamon Duffy The reign of Mary Tudor has been remembered as an era of sterile repression, when a reactionary monarch launched a doomed attempt to reimpose Catholicism on an unwilling nation. Above all, the burning alive of more than 280 men and women for their religious beliefs seared the rule of ‘Bloody Mary’ into the protestant imagination, as an alien aberration in the onward and upward march of the English-speaking peoples.

In this controversial reassessment, a leading reformation historian argues that Mary’s regime was neither inept nor backward-looking. Led by the Queen’s cousin, Cardinal Reginald Pole, Mary’s church dramatically reversed the religious revolution imposed under the child king Edward VI. Inspired by the values of the European Counter-Reformation, the cardinal and the Queen reinstated the papacy and launched an effective propaganda campaign through pulpit and press.

Eamon Duffy is professor of the history of Christianity at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of prizewining books, including The Stripping of the Altars, Saints and Sinners, The Voices of Morebath and Marking the Hours, all published by Yale.

May 240 pp. 229x152mm. 30 colour illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-15216-6 £19.99*

Even the most notorious aspect of the regime, the burnings, proved devastatingly effective. Only the death of the childless Queen and her cardinal on the same day in November 1558 brought the protestant Elizabeth to the throne, and thereby changed the course of English history.

4 Economics

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

The Euro The Politics of the New Global Currency David Marsh This book is the first comprehensive political and economic account of the birth and development of the Euro. Today the Euro is the supranational currency for fifteen European countries and the world’s second largest reserve currency. David Marsh tells the story of the rivalries, intrigues and deal-making that brought about a currency for Europe, and he analyses the achievements and shortcomings of its first decade of existence.

David Marsh is chairman of London and Oxford Capital Markets, a City of London-based corporate finance and investment company. He is also the author of The Bundesbank: The Bank That Rules Europe and Germany and Europe: The Crisis of Unity.

March 352 pp. 234x156mm.

16 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-12730-0 £25.00*

While the Euro represents a remarkable triumph of political will, great pressures are building on the single currency. Drawing on more than 100 interviews with leading figures associated with the Euro, and scores of secret documents from international archives, Marsh underscores the Euro’s importance for the global economy, in particular for the U.S. and British economic and political agendas. He concludes by looking at the ongoing financial crisis and its effects—which may shake the Euro to its very foundations.

“An amazingly detailed and thoroughly readable account of the long march to the Euro. This is the stuff of a political thriller: the dealmaking behind a currency constructed not just as a financial instrument but also as a way of overcoming centuries of conflict.

Anyone interested in European politics and economics, as well as Europe’s place in the wider world, would enjoy it.”—George Soros

Current Affairs 5

A bold analysis of the sources of the crisis in today’s Islamic world, by a writer at its heart Main Souk of Damascus. © Lynsey Addario/Corbis.

The Crisis of Islamic Civilization Ali A. Allawi Islam as a religion is central to the lives of over a billion people, but its outer expression as a distinctive civilization has been undergoing a monumental crisis. Buffeted by powerful adverse currents, Islamic civilization today is a shadow of its former self. The most disturbing and possibly fatal of these currents—the imperial expansion of the West into Muslim lands and the blast of modernity that accompanied it—are now compounded by a third giant wave, globalization.

These forces have increasingly tested Islam and Islamic civilization for validity, adaptability and the ability to hold on to the loyalty of Muslims, says Ali Allawi in his provocative new book. While the faith has proved resilient in the face of these challenges, other aspects of Islamic civilization have atrophied or died, Allawi contends, and Islamic civilization is now undergoing its last crisis.

Ali A. Allawi has served as Minister of Defence and Minister of Finance in the Iraqi postwar governments. He is senior visiting fellow at Princeton University, and the author of The Occupation of Iraq: Winning the War, Losing the Peace, published by Yale.

March 320 pp. 234x156mm.

ISBN 978-0-300-13931-0 £18.99*

The book explores how Islamic civilization began to unravel under colonial rule, as its institutions, laws and economies were often replaced by inadequate modern equivalents. Allawi also examines the backlash expressed through the increasing religiosity of Muslim societies and the spectacular rise of political Islam and its terrorist offshoots. Assessing the status of each of the building blocks of Islamic civilization, the author concludes that Islamic civilization cannot survive without the vital spirituality that underpinned it in the past.

He identifies a key set of principles for moving forward, principles that will surprise some and anger others, yet clearly must be considered.

6 History

Untangling the myths and legends of many centuries, this biography gives us the real Eleanor—tenacious, defiant and powerful

Jean Baptiste Mauzaisse, Louis VII Taking the Banner at St. Denis, 1840.

RMN/ArtResource, NY.

Eleanor of Aquitaine Queen of France, Queen of England Ralph V. Turner Eleanor of Aquitaine’s extraordinary life seems more likely to be found in the pages of fiction. Proud daughter of a distinguished French dynasty, she married the king of France, Louis VII, then the king of England, Henry II, and gave birth to two sons who rose to take the English throne—Richard the Lionheart and John. Renowned for her beauty, hungry for power, headstrong and unconventional, Eleanor travelled on crusades, acted as regent for Henry II and later for Richard, incited rebellion, endured a fifteen-year imprisonment, and as an elderly widow still wielded political power with energy and enthusiasm.

Ralph V. Turner is emeritus professor of history, Florida State University.

He is the author of King John and The Reign of Richard Lionheart, among many other publications on European medieval history.

This gripping biography is the definitive account of the most important queen of the Middle Ages. Ralph Turner, a leading historian of the 12th century, strips away the myths that have accumulated around Eleanor— the ‘black legend’ of her sexual appetite, for example—and challenges the accounts that relegate her to the shadows of the kings she married and bore. Turner focuses on a wealth of primary sources, including a collection of Eleanor’s own documents not previously accessible to scholars, and portrays a woman who sought control of her own destiny in the face of forceful resistance. A queen of unparalleled appeal, Eleanor of Aquitaine retains her power to fascinate even 800 years after her death.

April 304 pp. 234x156mm. 16 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-11911-4 £25.00*

“Eleanor’s remarkable career is done full justice in this study, which is readable, lively and convincing. It provides insights into many aspects of the 12th century as well as a radically new assessment of the queen herself. Many myths are exploded, and a thoroughly realistic picture of a politically ambitious and independent-minded woman emerges.”

—Michael Prestwich, University of Durham

History 7

A revealing new portrait of John Calvin that captures his human complexity and the 16th-century world in which he fought his personal and theological battles

Massacre at Vassy, 1 March 1562. The Granger Collection, New York.

Calvin Bruce Gordon During the glory days of the French Renaissance, young John Calvin (1509–1564) experienced a profound conversion to the faith of the Reformation. For the rest of his days he lived out the implications of that transformation—as exile, inspired reformer and ultimately the dominant figure of the Protestant Reformation. Calvin’s vision of the Christian religion has inspired many volumes of analysis, but this engaging biography examines a remarkable life. Bruce Gordon presents Calvin as a human being, a man at once brilliant, arrogant, charismatic, unforgiving, generous and shrewd.

Bruce Gordon is professor of Reformation history, Yale Divinity School. He is author and editor of a number of books, including The Swiss Reformation.

The book explores with particular insight Calvin’s self-conscious view of himself as prophet and apostle for his age and his struggle to tame a sense of his own superiority, perceived by others as arrogance. Gordon looks at Calvin’s character, his maturing vision of God and humanity, his personal tragedies and failures, his extensive relationships with others, and the context within which he wrote and taught. What emerges is a man who devoted himself to the Church, inspiring and transforming the lives of others, especially those who suffered persecution for their religious beliefs.

“A very stimulating book—extensive, detailed, in many respects brilliant.”—Euan Cameron, Union Theological Seminary “Bruce Gordon’s lively new biography presents Calvin embedded in his surroundings, developing his ideas as events unfolded.”

8 History

The discovery of a cache of thousands of letters and dozens of diaries brings to light the untold story of Mrs Tennant and her glittering social world

Punch, 8 Nov 1879.

The Magnificent Mrs Tennant David Waller Gertrude Tennant’s life was remarkable for its length (1819–1918), but even more so for the influence she achieved as an unsurpassed London hostess. The salon she established when widowed in her early fifties attracted legions of celebrities, among them Gladstone and Disraeli, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Thomas Huxley, John Everett Millais, Henry James and Robert Browning. In her youth she had a relationship with Gustave Flaubert, and in her later years she became the redoubtable mother-in-law to the explorer Henry Morton Stanley. But as a woman in a male-dominated world, Mrs Tennant has been remembered mainly as a footnote in the lives of eminent men.

David Waller, an author and management consultant, has written two previous books and holds a postgraduate degree in Victorian Studies from Birkbeck College, University of London.

May 336 pp. 234x156mm. 32 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-13935-8 £20.00*

This book recovers the lost life of Gertrude Tennant, drawing on a treasure-trove of recently discovered family papers—thousands of letters, including two dozen original letters from Flaubert to Gertrude, numerous diaries and many other unpublished documents relating to Stanley and other famous figures of the 19th and early-20th centuries.

David Waller presents Gertrude Tennant’s life in colourful detail, placing her not only at the heart of a multi-generational, matriarchal family epic but also at the centre of European social, literary and intellectual life for the best part of a century.

“David Waller, in this richly rewarding picture of late Victorian society, creates a portrait of a woman with appeal and grace.”

From Pimlico to Primrose Hill, Chelsea to Clapham, London’s buildings have their own secret histories—a fascinating trail charted by the inspired Blue Plaque scheme

Bartram House, Pond Street—the former home of Sir Rowland Hill—in a watercolour of 1901

by Mary Anne Baily. © Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre.

Lived in London Blue Plaques and the Stories Behind Them Edited by Emily Cole This attractive and comprehensive book tells the stories behind 800 of London’s blue plaques. Arranged geographically—by borough and area—it is the first published guide for over half a century to be compiled with the aid of local government and English Heritage files.

It features new research on the people and buildings commemorated, both of which are extraordinarily diverse. Over the course of its history, London has been home to figures as varied as Winston Churchill, Virginia Woolf, Mahatma Gandhi and Jimi Hendrix, all of whom were influenced by the houses and areas in which they lived.

Emily Cole is Head of the Blue Plaques Team, English Heritage.

May 624 pp. 275x245mm.

200 b/w + 250 colour illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-14871-8 £40.00*

London’s blue plaques scheme, founded in 1866, is the oldest of its kind in the world, and has been imitated around the globe. Run successively by the (Royal) Society of Arts, the London County Council, the Greater London Council and, since 1986, English Heritage, it commemorates the link between notable figures of the past and the buildings in which they lived and worked. It is a uniquely successful means of connecting people and place, drawing out the human element of the historic environment, and has helped to save a number of London’s buildings from demolition.

Lived in London provides the perfect introduction to the many people and buildings honoured under the scheme, and also celebrates the plaques themselves. By highlighting London’s historic associations, they enliven the streetscape and open a window into another time by showing us where the great and the good have penned their masterpieces, developed new technologies, lived or died.

10 Science

The stranger-than-fiction story of the Enlightenment visionaries who discovered the unexpected effects of inhaling nitrous oxide

James Gillray, New Discoveries in Pneumaticks! Wellcome Library, London.

The Atmosphere of Heaven The Unnatural Experiments of Dr. Beddoes and his Sons of Genius Mike Jay At the Pneumatic Institution in Bristol, founded in the closing years of the 18th century, dramatic experiments with gases precipitated not only a revolution in scientific medicine but also in the history of ideas.

Guided by the energy of maverick doctor Thomas Beddoes, the Institution was both laboratory and hospital—the first example of a modern medical research institution. But when its members discovered the mind-altering properties of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, their experiments devolved into a pioneering exploration of consciousness with far-reaching and unforeseen effects.

Mike Jay has written extensively on scientific and medical history and is a specialist in the study of drugs.

His books include the award-winning The Air Loom Gang: The Strange and True Story of James Tilly Matthews and His Visionary Madness.

He lives in London.

April 320 pp. 234x156mm. 24 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-12439-2 £20.00*

This riveting book is the first to tell the story of Dr. Beddoes and the brilliant circle who surrounded him: Erasmus Darwin, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey, who supported his ideas; James Watt, who designed and built his laboratory; Thomas Wedgwood, who funded it; and his dazzling young chemistry assistant, Humphry Davy, who identified nitrous oxide and tested it on himself, with spectacular results.

Mike Jay charts the chaotic rise and fall of the Institution in this fastpaced account, and reveals its crucial influence—on modern drug culture, attitudes towards objective and subjective knowledge, the development of anaesthetic surgery and the birth of the Romantic movement.

Praise for Mike Jay’s The Air Loom Gang : “The Air Loom Gang is a wonderful book to read . . . beautifully written, with all the drama, the rich characterisation, the subtlety, of a fine novel.”—Oliver Sacks Translation rights: Rogers, Coleridge & White Limited, London

History 11

The Empire’s New Clothes A History of the Russian Fashion Industry, 1700–1917 Christine Ruane In 1701 Tsar Peter the Great decreed that all residents of Moscow must abandon their traditional dress and wear European fashion. Those who produced or sold Russian clothing would face ‘dreadful punishment’.

Peter’s dress decree, part of his drive to make Russia more like Western Europe, had a profound impact on the history of Imperial Russia.

April 256 pp. 280x230mm.

70 b/w + 50 colour illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-14155-9 £35.00*

This engrossing book explores the impact of Westernisation on Russia in the 18th and 19th centuries and presents a wealth of photographs of ordinary Russians in all their finery. Christine Ruane draws on memoirs, mail-order catalogues, fashion magazines and other period sources to demonstrate that Russia’s adoption of Western fashion had symbolic, economic and social ramifications and was inseparably linked to the development of capitalism, industrial production and new forms of communication. This book shows how the fashion industry became a forum through which Russians debated and formulated a new national identity.

Christine Ruane is director of graduate studies and professor of history at the University of Tulsa.

Florence 1900 The Quest for Arcadia Bernd Roeck Translated by Stewart Spencer By the end of the 19th century, Florence was a key destination for cultured travellers from Europe and America. Writers such as Wilde, Rilke and Mann, painters such as Degas and Klee, and, not least, the young art historian Aby Warburg and his wife, Mary, flocked to Florence to escape the encroachments of modern life at home and to revel in the city’s rich artistic and cultural past.

An absorbing picture of turn-of-thecentury Florence and those who travelled there to experience its cultural riches

This beguiling book fuses narrative and ideas to consider how the encounter between Modernism and Renaissance culture was experienced both by visitors to Florence and its inhabitants. Based on Aby Warburg’s letters, diaries and notebooks, on Italian and German archives and on conversations with E. H. Gombrich (director of the famous Institute Aby Warburg later founded), the book is an intimate guide to life in Florence and the theatres, restaurants, galleries and salons frequented by visiting cultural exiles. At the same time the book paints an evocative picture of a city at the cusp of the modern age, adjusting to electricity and the motor car on one hand, and to social unrest and a clash of cultures on the other.

“Never has the fascination that Florence held for artists and intellectuals been so thoroughly portrayed as here by Bernd Roeck.”

12 History

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

Bannockburn The Triumph of Robert the Bruce David Cornell Few battles resonate through British history as strongly as Bannockburn. On June 24, 1314, the Scots under the leadership of Robert the Bruce unexpectedly trounced the English, leaving thousands dead or wounded. The victory was one of Scotland’s greatest, the more so because the Scottish army was outnumbered by about three to one.

The loss to the English, fighting under Edward II, was staggering.

In this groundbreaking account of Bannockburn, David Cornell sets the iconic battle in its political and military context and focuses new attention on the roles of Robert and Edward in the events leading to the buildup of their armies. The author brings the two-day battle to life and reassesses both the crucial mêlée fought on the second day and the casualties suffered by the English. Filled with colourful detail and fresh insights, the book throws new light on the battle itself, the character of the English defeat, the effect of that defeat on the course of the Anglo-Scottish wars, and the powerful impact of the battle’s legacy on English and Scottish national identity.

David Cornell spent several years researching the Anglo-Scottish wars while completing his Ph.D. at Durham University. This is his first book. He lives in Leicester.

History 13

A decisive account of the dramatic Gallipoli campaign of WWI, with a devastating assessment of its pointless losses

Gallipoli The End of the Myth Robin Prior The Gallipoli campaign of 1915–16 was an ill-fated allied attempt to shorten the war by eliminating Turkey, creating a Balkan alliance against the Central Powers and securing a sea route to Russia. A failure in all respects, the operation ended in disaster, and the Allied forces suffered some 390,000 casualties. This conclusive book assesses the many myths that have emerged about Gallipoli and provides definitive answers to questions that have lingered about the operation.

Robin Prior is visiting professorial fellow, University of Adelaide, and visiting fellow, University of New South Wales, Australian Defence Force Academy.

He is coauthor with Trevor Wilson of Passchendale: The Untold Story and The Somme, both published by Yale.

April 304 pp. 234x156mm. 16 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-14995-1 £25.00*

Robin Prior, a renowned military historian, proceeds step by step through the campaign, dealing with naval, military and political matters and surveying the operations of all the armies involved: British, Anzac, French, Indian and Turkish. Relying substantially on original documents, including neglected war diaries and technical military sources, Prior evaluates the strategy, the commanders and the performance of soldiers on the ground. His conclusions are powerful and unsettling: the naval campaign was not ‘almost’ won, and the land action was not bedeviled by ‘minor misfortunes’. Instead, the badly conceived Gallipoli campaign was doomed from the start. And even had it been successful, the operation would not have shortened the war by a single day. Despite their bravery, the Allied troops who fell at Gallipoli died in vain.

“Lucid, open-minded, encyclopaedic and yet still fascinating—almost perfect history if such a thing were possible.”—Terry Jones An Arch Druid, c. 1762–1816. © The Art Archive.

Blood and Mistletoe The History of the Druids in Britain Ronald Hutton Crushed by the Romans in the first century A.D., the ancient Druids of Britain left almost no reliable evidence behind. Because of this, historian Ronald Hutton shows, succeeding British generations have been free to reimagine, reinterpret and reinvent the Druids. Hutton’s captivating book is the first to encompass two thousand years of Druid history and to explore the evolution of English, Scottish and Welsh attitudes towards the forever ambiguous figures of the ancient Celtic world.

Ronald Hutton is professor of history, University of Bristol, and the author of many books including, most recently, The Druids; Debates in Stuart History; and Witches, Druids, and King Arthur: Studies in Paganism, Myth, and Magic.

May 450 pp. 171x246mm. 32 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-14485-7 £30.00*

Druids have been remembered at different times as patriots, scientists, philosophers or priests; sometimes portrayed as corrupt, bloodthirsty or ignorant, they were also seen as fomenters of rebellion. Hutton charts how the Druids have been written in and out of history, archaeology, and the public consciousness for some 500 years, with particular focus on the romantic period, when Druids completely dominated notions of British prehistory. Sparkling with legends and images, filled with new perspectives on ancient and modern times, this book is a fascinating cultural study of Druids as catalysts in British history.

“A magisterial and eminently readable account of the druids and how they have been continually reinvented over the last three hundred years by visionaries, political radicals, angry academics and downright fraudsters. Recommended reading for anyone who has driven down the A303 late at night, slowed down as they approached Stonehenge and wondered for a moment if the original druids really did process round those gigantic stones wreathed in mistletoe and clutching blood-stained knives!”—Tony Robinson

History 15

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

Scala/Art Resource, NY.

The Marvelous Hairy Girls The Gonzales Sisters and Their Worlds Merry Wiesner-Hanks This book tells the extraordinary story of three 16th-century sisters who, along with their father and brothers, were afflicted with an extremely rare genetic condition that made them unusually hairy.

Amazingly, the Gonzales sisters were not mocked or shunned, but were welcomed in the courts of Europe, spending much of their lives among nobles, musicians and artists. Their double identity as humans and beasts made them intriguing, and the girls and their father were the subjects not only of medical investigations but also of a considerable number of portraits, some of which still hang in European castles today.

Using the Gonzales family as a lens, historian Merry Wiesner-Hanks examines their varied and wondrous times. The story of this family connects with every important change of their era—political and religious violence, colonial conquest, new forms of scholarship and science—and also provides insights into the complex relationships between beastliness, monstrosity and gender in early modern life.

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

One State, Two States Resolving the Israel/Palestine Conflict Benny Morris “What is so striking about Morris’s work as a historian is that it does not flatter anyone’s prejudices, least of all his own”, David Remnick remarked in a New Yorker article that coincided with the publication of Benny Morris’s 1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War. With the same commitment to objectivity that has consistently characterised his approach, Morris now turns his attention to the present-day legacy of the events of 1948 and the concrete options for the future of Palestine and Israel.

A renowned historian eludes the pitfalls of partisanship and tackles one of the world’s most perplexing and divisive issues

May 256 pp. 210x140mm. 6 b/w maps ISBN 978-0-300-12281-7 £18.99*

The book scrutinises the history of the goals of the Palestinian national movement and the Zionist movement, then considers the various oneand two-state proposals made by different streams within the two movements. It also looks at the willingness or unwillingness of each movement to find an accommodation based on compromise. Morris assesses the viability and practicality of proposed solutions in the light of complicated and acrimonious realities. Throughout his groundbreaking career, Morris has reshaped understanding of the Israeli-Arab conflict. Here, once again, he arrives at a new way of thinking about the discord, injecting a ray of hope in a region where it is most sorely needed.

Benny Morris is professor of history, Middle East Studies Department, Ben-Gurion University, Israel. He has published many previous books, among them, 1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War, now newly available in paperback (see page 72).

Money, Markets, and Sovereignty Benn Steil and Manuel Hinds In this keenly argued book, Benn Steil and Manuel Hinds offer the most powerful defence of economic liberalism since F. A. Hayek published The Road to Serfdom more than sixty years ago. The authors present a fascinating intellectual history of monetary nationalism from the ancient world to the present and explore why, in its modern incarnation, it represents the single greatest threat to globalisation.

Steil and Hinds describe the current state of international economic relations as both unusual and precarious. Eras of economic protectionism have historically coincided with monetary nationalism, while eras of liberal trade have been accompanied by a universal monetary standard. But today, the authors show, an unprecedentedly liberal global trade regime operates side by side with the most extreme doctrine of monetary nationalism ever contrived—a situation bound to trigger periodic crises. Steil and Hinds call for a revival of the political and economic thinking that underlay earlier great periods of globalisation, and which is increasingly under threat by more recent ideas about what sovereignty means.

My Happiness Bears No Relation to Happiness A Poet’s Life in the Palestinian Century Adina Hoffman Beautifully written, and composed with a novelist’s eye for detail, this book tells the story of an exceptional man and the culture from which he emerged.

Taha Muhammad Ali was born in 1931 in the Galilee village of Saffuriyya and was forced to flee during the war in 1948. He travelled on foot to Lebanon and returned a year later to find his village destroyed. An autodidact, he has since run a souvenir shop in Nazareth, at the same time evolving into what one leading American critic has dubbed “perhaps the most accessible and delightful poet alive today”.

The first biography of a Palestinian writer also provides a moving account of the ways ‘ordinary’ individuals are swept up by tides of both war and peace May 464 pp. 234x156mm. 65 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-14150-4 £17.99*

As it places Muhammad Ali’s life in the context of the lives of his predecessors and peers, My Happiness offers a sweeping depiction of a charged and fateful epoch. It is a work that Arabic scholar Michael Sells describes as “among the five ‘must read’ books on the IsraelPalestine tragedy”. In an era when talk of the ‘Clash of Civilisations’ dominates, this biography offers something else entirely: a view of the people and culture of the Middle East that is rich, nuanced and above all else, deeply human.

Knut Hamsun Dreamer and Dissenter Ingar Sletten Kolloen Translated by Erik Skuggevik and Deborah Dawkin Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun (1859–1952), winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920, was both a brilliant and controversial man.

Lauded for his literary achievements by Hemingway, Gide, Hesse and others, he also provoked outrage for his open collaboration with the Fascists during the German occupation of Norway and his insistent refusal to renounce his Nazi sympathies.

“an authoritative study . . . it should help to make the English-speaking world belatedly more aware of the achievements and fate of this extraordinary man.”—Janet Garton, University of East Anglia June 352 pp. 234x156mm. 20 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-12356-2 £25.00*

This gripping biography of Hamsun, now available for the first time in English, offers a nuanced account of this morally ambiguous man.

Drawing on Hamsun’s extraordinary private archives and on his psychoanalyst’s notes, Ingar Sletten Kolloen delves deeply into Hamsun’s personal life and character. In vivid and telling detail, he describes Hamsun’s early years in a peasant farming family, his tempestuous and jealousy-racked second marriage, his erratic relationship with his children, and his infamous love affair with Nazi Germany, the roots of which Kolloen traces to Hamsun’s earliest days.

Much like the characters he created in novels such as Hunger, Growth of the Soil, Mysteries and Pan, Hamsun was irrational, eccentric, strange and compelling—a man uncomfortable in his own time.

Ingar Sletten Kolloen has worked as a publisher, journalist, commentator and editor. In 1999 he published a critically acclaimed biography of the poet Tor Jonsson, Only Love and Death. Kolloen won the Norwegian Readers’ Award 2004 for the Hamsun biography.

18 Science/Nature

Bugs and the Victorians J. F. M. Clark In the wake of the Scientific Revolution, the impulse to name and classify the natural world accelerated, and insects presented a particularly inviting challenge. This lively book explores how science became increasingly important in 19th-century British culture and how the systematic study of insects permitted entomologists to engage with the most pressing questions of Victorian times: the nature of God, mind and governance and the origins of life.

J. F. M. Clark is director, Institute for Environmental History and lecturer, School of History, University of St. Andrews.

April 384 pp. 234x156mm. 50 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-15091-9 £25.00*

By placing insects in a myriad of contexts—politics, religion, gender and empire—John F. McDiarmid Clark demonstrates the impact of Victorian culture on the science of insects and on the systematic knowledge of the natural world. Through engaging accounts of famous and eccentric innovators who sought to define social roles for themselves through a specialist study of insects—among them a Tory clergyman, a banker and member of Parliament, a wealthy spinster and an entrepreneurial academic—Clark highlights the role of insects in the making of modern Britain and maintains that the legacy of Victorian entomologists continues to this day.

“Clark has assembled a Victorian cabinet stuffed full of odd, beautiful, disturbing, elegant and repulsive specimens that collectively capture a time and place like no other history of entomology has succeeded in doing.”—Jeffrey Lockwood, author of Locust

Wetware A Computer in Every Living Cell Dennis Bray How does a single-cell creature, such as an amoeba, lead such a sophisticated life? How does it hunt living prey, respond to lights, sounds and smells, and display complex sequences of movements without the benefit of a nervous system? This book offers a startling and original answer.

In clear, jargon-free language, Dennis Bray taps the findings of the new discipline of systems biology to show that the internal chemistry of living cells is a form of computation. Cells are built out of molecular circuits that perform logical operations, as electronic devices do, but with unique properties. Bray argues that the computational juice of cells provides the basis of all the distinctive properties of living systems: it allows organisms to embody in their internal structure an image of the world, and this accounts for their adaptability, responsiveness and intelligence.

In the tradition of Erwin Schrödinger’s What Is Life? and Richard Dawkins’s The Selfish Gene, a distinguished cell biologist explains how living cells perform computations

June 256 pp. 234x156mm. 23 b/w illus.

ISBN 978-0-300-14173-3 £18.99*

Wetware, like its author, is refreshingly heterodox. Bray offers perceptive critiques of robotics and complexity theory, for example, as well as many entertaining and telling anecdotes. For the general reader, the practising scientist and all others with an interest in the nature of life, the book is an exciting portal to some of biology’s latest discoveries and ideas.

Dennis Bray is professor emeritus, University of Cambridge, and coauthor of several bestselling and influential texts on molecular and cell biology. In 2007 he was awarded the prestigious European Science Prize in Computational Biology. He lives in Cambridge.

Science/Nature 19

Endless Forms Charles Darwin, Natural Science and the Visual Arts Edited by Diana Donald and Jane Munro Charles Darwin has had a profound influence on the fields of biology and natural history. But his ideas also imbued the work of many 19thcentury artists. The slow process of evolution by ‘natural selection’, the dynamic interplay of life forms, the ‘struggle for existence’ all greatly stimulated the imaginations of artists of his era. This lavishly illustrated book is the first to explore Darwin’s impact on the visual arts in Europe and America during the second half of the 19th century.

Exceptionally broad ranging, the book brings together art and science in a new way. It shows the visual influences on Darwin through his life, especially on the Beagle voyage, as well as the creative effects of his theories.

The book demonstrates that in artists as diverse as Church, Landseer, Liljefors, Heade, Redon, Cézanne and Monet, in new forms of landscape painting and dioramas, imaginary scenes of prehistory and depictions of animals, Darwin’s sense of the interplay of all living things and his response to the beauties of colour and form in nature proved inspirational.

The Young Charles Darwin Influences and Ideas Keith Thomson What sort of person was the young naturalist who developed an evolutionary idea so logical, so dangerous, that it has dominated biological science for a century and a half? How did the quiet and shy Charles Darwin produce his theory of natural selection when many before him had started down the same path but failed? This book is the first to inquire into the range of influences and ideas, the mentors and rivals, and the formal and informal education that shaped Charles Darwin.

On the 150th anniversary of On the Origin of Species, a new investigation of Darwin’s early years and how he arrived at his revolutionary ideas

Keith Thomson concentrates on Darwin’s early life as a schoolboy, a medical student at Edinburgh, a theology student at Cambridge, and a naturalist aboard the Beagle on its famous five-year voyage. Closely analysing Darwin’s Autobiography and scientific notebooks, the author draws a fully human portrait of Darwin for the first time: a vastly erudite and powerfully ambitious individual, self-absorbed but lacking self-confidence, hampered as much as helped by family, and sustained by a passion for philosophy and logic. Thomson’s account of the birth and maturing of Darwin’s brilliant theory is fascinating for the way it reveals both his genius as a scientist and the human foibles and weaknesses with which he struggled.

20 History

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

Molly Haskell is a writer and film critic.

She has lectured widely on the role of women in film and is the author of From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies.

March 256 pp. 210x140mm. 15 b/w illus.

Haskell imaginatively weaves together disparate strands, conducting her story as her own inner debate between enchantment and disenchantment. Sensitive to the ways in which history and cinema intersect, she reminds us why these characters, so riveting to Depression audiences, continue to fascinate seventy years later.

“This is a beautifully written and well-detailed account of the making of a movie that has, by now, become an American treasure, a landmark in popular entertainment. And it’s written by a real southerner, who happens to be one of the best writers on film we have.”—Martin Scorsese Icons of America

Gypsy The Art of the Tease Rachel Shteir A true icon of America at a turning point in its history, Gypsy Rose Lee was the first—and the only—stripper to become a household name, write novels and win the adulation of intellectuals, bankers, socialites and ordinary Americans. Her outrageous blend of funny-smart sex symbol with the aura of high culture (she boasted that she liked to read Great Books and listen to classical music while taking off her clothes on-stage) inspired a musical, memoirs, a portrait by Max Ernst and a variety of rose. Gypsy is the first book about Gypsy Rose Lee’s life, fame and place in America not written by a family member, and it reveals her deep impact on the social and cultural transformations taking shape during her life.

Rachel Shteir, author of the prize-winning Striptease, gives us Gypsy’s story from her arrival in New York in 1931 to her sojourns in Hollywood, her friendships and rivalries with writers and artists, the Sondheim musical, family memoirs that retold her history in divergent ways and a television biopic currently in the making. With verve, audacity and native guile, Gypsy Rose Lee moved striptease from the margins of American life to Broadway, Hollywood and Main Street.

Gypsy tells how she did it, and why.

Music 21

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

Tenor History of a Voice John Potter From its emergence in the 16th century to the phenomenon of the ‘Three Tenors’ and beyond, the tenor voice has grown in popularity and esteem. This engaging and authoritative book—the first comprehensive history of tenor singing—presents fascinating details about the world’s great performers, styles of singing in different countries, teachers and music schools, the variety of compositions for the tenor voice, and much more.

John Potter is Lecturer in Music, University of York. As a professional tenor himself, he has sung with the Hilliard Ensemble, Swingle II and other vocal groups, and performs, lectures and coaches widely in Europe and the U.S.

John Potter begins by surveying the prehistory of the tenor in the medieval period, when Gregorian chant and early polyphony had implications for a voice-type, and proceeds to the 16th century, when singers were first identified as tenors. He focuses on many of the greatest tenors—those who predated the gramophone as well as those whose recorded voices may still be heard—and considers the ways in which each is historically significant. The names range from legendary early figures like Ludwig Schnoor von Carolsfeld (Wagner’s first Tristan) to those more familiar like Enrico Caruso, Richard Tauber, Mario Lanza, Roberto Alagna, Ian Bostridge, Andrea Bocelli, Il Divo and, of course, Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras. Admirers of the tenor voice will especially appreciate the book’s unique reference section, with bibliographical and discographical/video information on several hundred tenors.

“I cannot think of anyone better suited to write on this subject.”

22 Religion/Philosophy

The Philosophers’ Quarrel Rousseau, Hume, and the Limits of Human Understanding Robert Zaretsky and John T. Scott The rise and spectacular fall of the friendship between the two great philosophers of the 18th century, barely six months after they first met, reverberated on both sides of the Channel. As the relationship between Jean-Jacques Rousseau and David Hume unravelled, a volley of rancorous letters was fired off, then quickly published and devoured by aristocrats, intellectuals and common readers, alike. Everyone took sides in this momentous dispute between the greatest of Enlightenment thinkers.

The dramatic collapse of the friendship between Rousseau and Hume, in the context of their grand intellectual quest to conquer the limits of human understanding

In this lively and revealing book, Robert Zaretsky and John T. Scott explore the unfolding rift between Rousseau and Hume. The authors are particularly fascinated by the connection between the thinkers’ lives and thought, especially the way that their failure to understand one another (and themselves) illuminates the limits of human understanding. In addition, they situate the philosophers’ quarrel in the social, political and intellectual milieu that informed their actions, as well as the actions of the other participants in the dispute, such as James Boswell, Adam Smith and Voltaire. By examing the conflict through the prism of each philosopher’s contribution to Western thought, Zaretsky and Scott reveal the implications for the two men as individuals and philosophers as well as for the contemporary world.

Atheist Delusions The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies David Bentley Hart Currently it is fashionable to be devoutly undevout. Religion’s most passionate antagonists—Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and others—have publishers competing eagerly to market their various denunciations of religion, monotheism, Christianity and Roman Catholicism. But contemporary antireligious polemics are based not only upon profound conceptual confusions but upon facile simplifications of history or even outright historical ignorance: so contends David Bentley Hart in this bold correction of the distortions. One of the most brilliant scholars of religion of our time, Hart provides a powerful antidote to the New Atheists’ misrepresentations of the Christian past, bringing into focus the truth about the most radical revolution in Western history.

Like Timonthy Keller in The Reason for God, David Bentley Hart resolutely dismantles the New Atheists’ arguments against Christian belief May 320 pp. 234x156mm.

ISBN 978-0-300-11190-3 £19.99*

Hart outlines how Christianity transformed the ancient world in ways we may have forgotten: bringing liberation from fatalism, conferring great dignity on human beings, subverting the cruellest aspects of pagan society and elevating charity above all virtues. He then argues that what we term the ‘Age of Reason’ was in fact the beginning of the eclipse of reason’s authority as a cultural value. Hart closes the book in the present, delineating the ominous consequences of the decline of Christendom in a culture that is built upon its moral and spiritual values.

David Bentley Hart is visiting professor, Theology Department, Providence College, and author of books, including In the Aftermath: Provocations and Laments and The Beauty of the Infinite: The Aesthetics of Christian Truth.

“In this wonderful and gripping book, Manguel makes libraries seem as full of gusto and energy as life, and not, as people sometimes think, dusty alternatives to it.”—Philip Hensher, The Daily Telegraph “It is written in Ecclesiastes that ‘of making many books there is no end, and much study is weariness of the flesh’. This can be construed as a celebration of, or warning concerning, the plentitude and power of books. The book can help us to interpret the past and to imagine the future. That is the achievement of The Library at Night. Out of the darkness of one man’s library shines a beacon.”

History 27

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

San Martín Argentinian Soldier, American Hero John Lynch José de San Martín (1778–1850) was an enigmatic figure—a revolutionary and a conservative, a professional soldier and an intellectual, a taciturn man who nevertheless was able to inspire the peoples of South America to follow his armies and accept his battle strategies. One of the great leaders in the wars for independence, he was a pivotal force in the liberation of Chile and Peru from Spanish rule.

John Lynch is Emeritus Professor of Latin American History, University of London, and former director of the Institute of Latin American Studies.

His biography of Simón Bolívar (Yale) gained extraordinary coverage on both sides of the Atlantic, earning praise for its sane historical judgment, clarity and limpid exposition.

ISBN 978-0-300-12643-3 £25.00*

In the first full English-language biography of San Martín in more than half a century, John Lynch shines new light on San Martín and on the story of Spanish America’s revolutionary wars. Lynch offers a series of dramatic set pieces: the Peninsular War, in which San Martín fought the French and learned his military skills; the crossing of the Andes, when his army battled the forces of nature as well as enemy fire; the confrontation with imperial Spain in Peru; and the standoff with Bolívar which led to San Martín’s resignation and exile in Europe.

Based on the latest documentation, San Martín enhances our understanding of the modern history of Latin America and one of its most brilliant leaders.

“San Martín is a key figure in the history of Spanish American independence, comparable to Bolívar in his contribution to the liberation of South America from Spanish rule. As we approach the bicentenary of independence, John Lynch provides a timely reevaluation of the man and his times, informed by a deep knowledge of the societies and statesmen of this crucial period in the history of the Americas.”—Anthony McFarlane, University of Warwick

Spies

The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America

John Earl Haynes, Harvey Klehr and Alexander Vassiliev This important book, based on KGB archives that have never come to light before, provides the most complete account of Soviet espionage in America ever written. In 1993, former KGB officer Alexander Vassiliev was permitted unique access to Stalin-era records of Soviet intelligence operations against the United States. Years later, living in Britain, Vassiliev retrieved his extensive notebooks of transcribed documents from Moscow. With these notebooks John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr have meticulously constructed a new, sometimes shocking, historical account.

Along with insights into espionage tactics and the motives of Americans who spied for Stalin, Spies resolves specific controversies. The book confirms, among many other things, that Alger Hiss cooperated with Soviet intelligence over a long period of years, that journalist I. F. Stone worked on behalf of the KGB in the 1930s, and that Robert Oppenheimer was never recruited by Soviet intelligence. Spies also uncovers numerous American spies who were never even under suspicion and satisfyingly identifies the last unaccounted-for American nuclear spies. Vassiliev tells the story of the notebooks and his own extraordinary life in a gripping introduction to the volume.

John Earl Haynes is a historian in the Manuscript Division, the Library of Congress. Harvey Klehr is Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Politics and History, Emory University. Haynes and Klehr are coauthors with Fridrikh Igorevich Firsov of The Secret World of American Communism, published by Yale. Alexander Vassiliev, journalist and coauthor with Allen Weinstein of The Haunted Wood: Soviet Espionage in America, now lives in the UK.

Alger Hiss and the Battle for History Susan Jacoby Books on Whittaker Chambers and Alger Hiss abound, as countless scholars have laboured to uncover the facts behind Chambers’s shocking accusation before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in the summer of 1948—that Alger Hiss, a former rising star in the State Department, had been a Communist and engaged in espionage.

In this highly original work, Susan Jacoby turns her attention to the Hiss case, including his trial and imprisonment for perjury, as a mirror of shifting American political views and passions. Unfettered by political axe-grinding, the author examines conflicting responses, from scholars and the media on both the left and the right, and the ways in which they have changed from 1948 to our present post–Cold War era. With a brisk, engaging style, Jacoby positions the case in the politics of the post–World War II era and then explores the ways in which generations of liberals and conservatives have put Chambers and Hiss to their own ideological uses. An iconic event of the McCarthy era, the case of Alger Hiss fascinates political intellectuals not only because of its historical significance but because of its timeless relevance to equally fierce debates today about the difficult balance between national security and respect for civil liberties.

Susan Jacoby is an independent scholar and best-selling author. The most recent of her seven previous books is The Age of American Unreason.

The Sacco-Vanzetti Affair

Translation rights: Georges Borchardt Inc, New York

America on Trial

Moshik Temkin What began as the obscure local case of two Italian immigrant anarchists accused of robbery and murder flared into an unprecedented political and legal scandal as the perception grew that their conviction was a judicial travesty and their execution a political murder. This book is the first to reveal the full national and international scope of the Sacco-Vanzetti affair, uncovering how and why the two men became the centre of a global cause célèbre that shook public opinion and transformed America’s relationship with the world.

Drawing on extensive research on two continents, this book connects the Sacco-Vanzetti affair to the most polarising political and social concerns of its era. Moshik Temkin contends that the worldwide attention to the case was generated not only by the conviction that innocent men had been condemned for their radical politics and ethnic origins but also as part of a reaction to U.S. global supremacy and isolationism after World War I. The author further argues that the international protest, which helped make Sacco and Vanzetti famous men, ultimately provoked their executions. The book concludes by investigating the affair’s enduring repercussions and what they reveal about global political action, terrorism, jingoism, xenophobia and the politics of our own time.

Moshik Temkin is an assistant professor at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.

History 29

Living with Hitler Liberal Democrats in the Third Reich Eric Kurlander This book addresses key questions about liberal democrats and their activities in Germany from 1933 to the end of the Nazi regime. While it is commonly assumed that liberals fled their homeland at the first sign of jackboots, in reality most stayed. Some even thrived under Hitler, personally as well as professionally. Historian Eric Kurlander examines the motivations, hopes and fears of liberal democrats —Germans who best exemplified the middle-class progressivism of the Weimar Republic—to discover why so few resisted and so many embraced elements of the Third Reich.

German liberalism was not only the opponent and victim of National Socialism, Kurlander suggests, but in some ways its ideological and sociological antecedent. That liberalism could be both has crucial implications for understanding the genesis of authoritarian regimes everywhere. Indeed, Weimar democrats’ prolonged reluctance to oppose the regime demonstrates how easily a liberal democracy may gradually succumb to fascism.

“A provocative study: Eric Kurlander exposes the spaces that liberals and democrats could make for themselves in the Third Reich and explores the aspects of National Socialism that those same liberals and democrats found appealing and even necessary.

In this trenchant analysis, liberals are both resilient and complicit.”—Peter Fritzsche, author of Life and Death in the Third Reich Eric Kurlander is associate professor of history at Stetson University.

Last Rites John Lukacs Twenty years ago, John Lukacs paused to set down the history of his own thoughts and beliefs in Confessions of an Original Sinner, an adroit blend of autobiography and personal philosophy. Now, in Last Rites, he continues and expands his reflections, this time integrating his conception of history and human knowledge with private memories of his wives and loves, and enhancing the book with footnotes from his idiosyncratic diaries. The resulting volume is fascinating and delightful, a book of history by a passionate, authentic, brilliant and witty man.

Lukacs begins with a concise rendering of a historical understanding of our world, then follows with trenchant observations on his life in the U.S., commentary on his native Hungary and the new meanings it took for him after 1989, and deeply personal portraits of his three wives. He includes also a chapter on his formative memories of May and June 1940 and of Winston Churchill, a subject in some of Lukacs’s later studies. Last Rites is a richly layered summation combined with a set of extraordinary observations—an original book only John Lukacs could have written.

Praise for Confessions of an Original Sinner: “[Lukacs] is an often witty and always fascinating—even entertaining—writer.”—Washington Post John Lukacs is an internationally read and praised historian, the author of some thirty books, a winner of numerous academic honours and awards and a member of the Royal Historical Society.

Church, Society and Religious Change in France, 1580–1730 Joseph Bergin This wide-ranging and authoritative book is the first to fully synthesise the French experience of religious change in the period stretching between the Reformation and the early Enlightenment.

The traumatic experiences of the wars of religion and the continuing challenge of Protestantism made France an unusually potent site for significant religious upheavals and developments. The country was a crucible for theological doctrines and inventive practitioners, which generated considerable conflict but also stimulated religious reform and innovation. The dynamism of the French version of the Catholic Reformation surpassed anything elsewhere in Europe.

Vividly rendering the religious history of France through its social, institutional and cultural contexts, Joseph Bergin explores the different agents, instruments and techniques employed to engineer religious transformations. Through a comprehensive examination of a huge volume of didactic religious literature, he shows how fresh religious ideas and practices were disseminated across French society in the hopes of shaping a new kind of devout Catholic. Assured, nuanced and ground-breaking, this book illuminates the continually developing interaction between church and society in France, and uncovers the religiosity of the 17th century.

Joseph Bergin is Professor of History at Manchester University, and a Fellow of the British Academy. His previous books include The Rise of Richelieu, Cardinal Richelieu and Cardinal de la Rochefoucauld, all published by Yale.

30 History

The Ethiopian Revolution

The Triumph of Provocation

War in the Horn of Africa

Józef Mackiewicz Translation by Jerzy Hauptmann, S. D. Lukac, Martin Dewhirst Foreword by Jeremy Black • Chronology by Nina Karsov

Gebru Tareke Revolution, civil wars and guerilla warfare wracked Ethiopia during three turbulent decades at the end of the 20th century.

This book is a pioneering study of the military history and political significance of this crucial Horn of Africa region during that period. Drawing on new archival materials and interviews, Gebru Tareke illuminates the conflicts, comparing them to the Russian and Iranian revolutions in terms of regional impact.

Writing in vigorous and accessible prose, Tareke brings to life the leading personalities in the domestic political struggles, strategies of the warring parties, international actors and key battles. He demonstrates how the brutal dictatorship of Mengistu Haile Mariam lacked imagination in responding to crises and alienated the peasantry by destroying human and material resources. And he describes the delicate balance of persuasion and force with which northern insurgents mobilised the peasantry and triumphed. The book sheds invaluable light not only on modern Ethiopia but also on post-colonial state formation and insurrectionary politics worldwide.

This masterful political treatise, first published in 1962, examines the history and nature of Communism as it developed in the Soviet Union and in Poland. Józef Mackiewicz, known for his relentless opposition to Communism, argues that accommodation with the Communists simply helped them to impose their vision of the world and pursue their goal of global domination. He compares Communism to Nazism and insists that the former was the greater threat to the future of humanity.

Now available in English for the first time, The Triumph of Provocation will be compelling reading for those interested in Polish history, Communism and Nazism. Mackiewicz’s unique interpretation of the differences and similarities between Communism and Nazism is highly relevant to debates about these two systems and to major contemporary issues which are of particular importance to the U.S. and Europe, including radical Islam and the necessity of war and the responsibility for war.

The Familiarity of Strangers The Sephardic Diaspora, Livorno, and CrossCultural Trade in the Early Modern Period

The Anti-Imperial Choice The Making of the Ukrainian Jew

Francesca Trivellato

Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern

Taking a new approach to the study of cross-cultural trade, this book blends archival research with historical narrative and economic analysis to understand how the Sephardic Jews of Livorno, Tuscany, traded in regions near and far in the 17th and 18th centuries. Francesca Trivellato tests assumptions about ethnic and religious trading diasporas and networks of exchange and trust. Her extensive research in international archives—including a vast cache of merchants’ letters written between 1704 and 1746—reveals a more nuanced view of the business relations between Jews and non-Jews across the Mediterranean, Atlantic Europe and the Indian Ocean than ever before.

This book is the first to explore the Jewish contribution to, and integration with, Ukrainian culture. Yohanan PetrovskyShtern focuses on five writers and poets of Jewish descent whose literary activities span the 1880s to the 1990s. Unlike their East European contemporaries who disparaged the culture of Ukraine as second-rate, stateless and colonial, these individuals embraced the Russian- and Soviet-dominated Ukrainian community, incorporating their Jewish concerns in their Ukrainian-language writings.

The book argues that cross-cultural trade was predicated on, and generated familiarity among strangers, but could coexist easily with religious prejudice. It analyses instances in which business cooperation among coreligionists and between strangers relied on language, customary norms, and social networks more than the progressive rise of state and legal institutions.

Francesca Trivellato is professor of history at Yale University.

The author argues that the marginality of these literati as Jews fuelled their sympathy toward Ukrainians and their national cause. Providing extensive historical background, biographical detail and analysis of each writer’s poetry and prose, PetrovskyShtern shows how a Ukrainian-Jewish literary tradition emerged. Along the way, he challenges assumptions about modern Jewish acculturation and Ukrainian-Jewish relations.

Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern teaches Jewish history in the History Department and the Crown Family Center for Jewish Studies, Northwestern University. He publishes frequently in the areas of East European history and culture and Jewish studies.

Eva Hesse Studiowork Briony Fer Throughout her career, Eva Hesse (1936–1970) produced a significant number of small, experimental works alongside her large-scale sculpture. These so-called ‘test-pieces’ were made in a wide range of materials, including latex, wire-mesh, sculp-metal, wax and cheesecloth.

Rather than considering them simply technical explorations, the art historian Briony Fer renames these small objects studiowork and argues that they put in question conventional notions of what sculpture is.

The book contains a comprehensive catalogue of the studiowork, including many new works that have never before been seen in public.

Although previously these small works were considered peripheral to the major sculptures, this fascinating new study argues that they force us to ask fundamental questions, not just about what an artwork is, but about the work that art does in our culture.

Picasso Challenging the Past

From his earliest years Pablo Picasso was a passionate student of the European painting tradition. His memory for images was voracious and he amassed an impressive art collection of his own. Naturally he was drawn to the Spanish masters Velázquez and Goya but also important to him were such figures as Rembrandt, Delacroix, Ingres, Manet and Cézanne. Picasso repeatedly pitted himself against these masters, taking up their signature themes, techniques and artistic concerns in audacious paintings of his own. Sometimes his ‘quotations’ were direct, other times highly allusive. Always, Picasso made the implicit case that it was he in the 20th century who most forcefully reinvigorated the European tradition.

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

Becoming Edvard Munch Influence, Anxiety, and Myth Jay A. Clarke Exhibition The Art Institute of Chicago, 14 February – 26 April 2009

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

Jay A. Clarke is Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago.

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

The story of the greatest manufacturer and entrepreneur of his age The Soho Manufactury depicted on a poster of the rules of the Soho Insurance Society, 1792.

Matthew Boulton Selling What All the World Desires Shena Mason Matthew Boulton was an 18th-century designer, inventor and industrialist, a consummate businessman, and co-founder of the influential Lunar Society. Now, on the bicentenary of his death, this book surveys his life and extraordinarily varied achievements.

The book explains how Boulton, a Birmingham ‘toy’-maker producing buttons, buckles and silverware, went into business with James Watt and exported Boulton & Watt steam engines all over the world.

Meanwhile his magnificent ormolu ornaments decorated aristocratic drawing rooms, and his determination to discourage counterfeiters led to a contract to manufacture British coinage and coins of other countries at his mint. Boulton was leader of the campaign to establish the Birmingham Assay Office (still the busiest in the country), and also at the heart of the Lunar Society, a group of prominent industrialists, natural philosophers and intellectuals interested in scientific and social change. Known to Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Erasmus Darwin, Josiah Wedgwood and many others, Boulton was a fascinating man, Britain’s leading Enlightenment entrepreneur.

Shena Mason was a member of the Soho House project development team. She also worked on the cataloguing of the Matthew Boulton Papers. She is the author of The Hardware Man’s Daughter: Matthew Boulton and his ‘Dear Girl’ and Jewellery Making in Birmingham, 1750–1995.

John Singer Sargent Venetian Figures and Landscapes 1898–1913 Complete Paintings: Volume VI Richard Ormond and Elaine Kilmurray Throughout his career—and particularly in the period from 1898 to 1913—John Singer Sargent painted the spectacular architecture and scenes of everyday life in Venice, as he sat alongside the Grand Canal or in a gondola in the sleepy side canals. This lavishly illustrated book presents all the luminous masterworks that Sargent completed during that fertile fifteen-year period: oils and watercolours that reveal his taste for the Renaissance, Baroque and high style in art and architecture as they were seen in the city’s unique light.

Sargent’s entrancing Venetian oils and watercolours are displayed and discussed in this gorgeous book

The Primacy of Drawing Histories and Theories of Practice Deanna Petherbridge

Deanna Petherbridge was formerly Professor of Drawing at the Royal College of Art, and is now Research Professor of Drawing at the University of Lincoln.

ISBN 978-0-300-12646-4 £45.00*

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

As well as analysing works by great draughtsmen such as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Goya and Picasso, close attention is paid to artists traditionally regarded as ‘minor’, as well as to the contribution of women artists in the 20th and 21st centuries.

The book is a response to the vibrant rediscovery of drawing as significant practice in studios, exhibitions and art schools, and proposes an ambitious and novel agenda for the study and enjoyment of drawing.

Since 1950 Art and its Criticism Charles Harrison In a series of compelling and finely argued essays on late 20th-century art and the critical perspectives it has generated, Charles Harrison offers an acute analysis of the seismic shift that took place when the modernist formalism that had underpinned thinking about art in the first half of the century came to be seen as a spent force. He asks how the diverse art of this period is to be understood and on what basis judgments are to be made about the merits and importance of specific works.

Charles Harrison is Emeritus Professor of the History and Theory of Art, The Open University.

The twelve essays that compose the book were written over a period of twenty years and represent a sustained attempt to examine the nature of modernism in art—both its successes and its failures—and to understand the changes that have followed the international Conceptual Art movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, among them a massive growth in the market and audience for modern art, and an erosion of the barriers between fine art and popular culture.

Harrison considers the implications of these changes for the judgement and criticism of art.

This is an original and incisive contribution to the discussion of modern and post-modern art and of the theories by which it has been influenced and explained, from someone who has been closely involved in the art of this period as practitioner, teacher, critic and historian.

Tatlin’s Tower Monument to Revolution Norbert Lynton The plans for the gigantic Monument to the Third International were completed in 1920 by Vladimir Tatlin, the Russian painter and visionary designer who was a key figure of Russian constructivism.

Planned as the headquarters and monument of the Comintern in Petrograd, it was to be made from industrial materials—iron, glass and steel—as a towering symbol of modernity. Because of the political turmoil and housing shortages in Russia after the 1917 Revolution, the building was never constructed, but it remains a celebrated icon of revolutionary art.

In this insightful book, Norbert Lynton investigates the sources and symbolism of Tatlin’s Tower and considers not only its significance but also the broader role of allegory in abstraction and as an expression of man’s highest aspirations. Then, in light of his new symbolic reading of the Tower, Lynton examines Tatlin’s flying machine, Letatlin and earlier works in his career and discusses their impact on other Russian painters, sculptors, designers and architects of his era.

Norbert Lynton, who died in 2007, was professor of art history at Sussex University and a respected critic.

The National Gallery Pocket Collection Introduced by Leah Kharibian This attractive little gift book is a fabulous collection of some of the most popular masterpieces in the National Gallery. High-quality reproductions are enhanced by short and accessible introductory texts, and the pocket-sized hardback format is luxurious and durable.

Many of the pictures in the National Gallery, London, rank among the finest treasures in the history of western European art. Taking even a brief glance at this book it’s likely you’ll see paintings you immediately recognise, be they by Holbein, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Rembrandt, Turner or Van Gogh.

This guide presents nearly 200 masterpieces, arranged in four sections that reflect the layout of the gallery: Sainsbury Wing (1250–1500), the West Wing (1500–1600), the North Wing (1600–1700) and the East Wing (1700–1900). The choice of paintings is based on their popularity with visitors and art historical importance, as well as introducing the reader to a few less well-known gems.

Leah Kharibian is an independent art historian and writer. She was the author of Velázquez (2006), a souvenir book of the blockbuster exhibition and the accompanying DVD.

A Closer Look: Conservation of Paintings David Bomford updated by Jill Dunkerton and Martin Wyld The preservation of works of art for future generations is a central function of the National Gallery.

This expert guide shows how modern conservation differs significantly from that of previous eras: the emphasis now is on long-term stabilisation by methods that alter the structure of a painting as little as possible. Nevertheless, if paintings are obscured by discoloured varnishes and old repaints, there may be a case for cleaning, and this has often sparked controversy. Some of those issues are examined here.

Conservation of Paintings discusses the material nature of paintings, how they age and describes the main types of conservation treatment carried out on panel and canvas paintings, and some of the problems involved in cleaning and restoration. A series of case studies of major works from the National Gallery vividly illustrates the complex and varied issues that confront the conservator.

A Closer Look: Colour David Bomford and Ashok Roy Colour is so fundamental a part of the natural world that we tend to take it for granted. This is equally true of colour in paintings, where its function—as well as being descriptive—may be symbolic, emotional, a purely formal element in the design, or all of these. Yet when looking at paintings which appear to be representations of the ‘real world’, we may be quite unaware of the materials that make up colour, and how artists maniupulate these to convey form and substance.

A Closer Look: Colour explores the ways in which artists have used colour, and describes the pigments characteristic of a particular period, the effect on colour of the painter’s chosen medium, and how the development of new pigments dramatically extended the palette. Optics, and the comparative merits of colour and drawing, have preoccupied painters for centuries, and the authors outline the major theories expounded in artists’ treatises. Detailed studies of paintings from across the National Gallery’s Collection, from van Eyck to Seurat, provide vivid illustrations of the extraordinary variety of colour in the history of European painting.

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

Gilbert Rohde Modern Design for Modern Living Phyllis Ross Few designers did more to influence the appearance of postwar American interiors than the furniture designer Gilbert Rohde (1894–1944). This first in-depth book on Rohde explores how he brought an industrial design perspective to the furniture industry and, in the process, introduced modernism to a broad range of Americans, especially through his modular furnishings.

ISBN 978-0-300-12064-6 £40.00*

By tracing his career at the Herman Miller Furniture Company, where Rohde was a designer in the 1930s and 1940s, Phyllis Ross places his work in a broad cultural and economic context. The book shows how Rohde’s focus on comfort, informality, multifunctionality and flexibility transposed European design antecedents into furnishings suitable for American lifestyles. A champion of modular components, he experimented with new industrial materials, including Plexiglas, and produced furniture with biomorphic forms. Not only did Rohde introduce modern designs, but he also devised a complete merchandising strategy for their promotion.

Today Rohde’s furniture and decorative designs are coveted by collectors. The story of his career rounds out our understanding of his fascinating contributions to American culture.

Alvar Aalto Architecture, Modernity, and Geopolitics Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen Perhaps no other great modern architect has been linked to a native country as closely as Alvar Aalto (1898–1976). Critics have argued that the essence of Finland flows, as if naturally, into his quasi-organic forms, ranging from such buildings as the Baker House in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to iconic 20th-century designs, including his Savoy vase and bent-plywood stacking stools.

What did Aalto himself say about the importance of nationalism and geography in his work and in architecture generally? With an unprecedented focus on the architect’s own writings, library and critical reception, Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen proposes a dramatically different interpretation of Aalto’s oeuvre, revealing it as a deeply thoughtful response to his intellectual and cultural milieu—especially to Finland’s dynamic political circumstances following independence from Russia in 1917.

Pelkonen also considers the geographic and geopolitical narratives found in his writings, including ideas about national style and national cultural revival and about how architecture can foster cosmopolitanism, internationalism and regionalism.

Philip Johnson The Constancy of Change Edited by Emmanuel Petit Foreword by Robert A. M. Stern Essays by Beatriz Colomina, Peter Eisenman, Kurt W.

Witty, wealthy and well connected, the architect Philip Johnson was for years the most powerful figure in the cultural politics of his profession.

As the Museum of Modern Art’s founding architecture curator in the early 1930s, he helped establish modernism in the United States; as the architect of New York’s AT&T building—the ‘Chippendale skyscraper’—he gave postmodernism commercial viability on a large scale during the 1980s.

In this book, sixteen eminent voices in the architectural establishment present their ideas on Johnson, focusing on both his eclectic design approach and his vivid intellect. Among the topics covered are Johnson’s wide-ranging knowledge of art history, his endorsement of different versions of architectural modernism, his use of rhetoric and the mass media, his social persona and his politics of patronage.

Owing perhaps to the control he exerted over critiques of his work, few scholarly treatments of Johnson exist. This ‘unauthorised’ account, the first in-depth study to follow his death, constitutes a milestone in the analysis of one of America’s most renowned architects.

Lancashire: North The Buildings of England Clare Hartwell and Nikolaus Pevsner The landscapes of this beautiful and rewarding area range from the shores of Morecambe Bay and the wild Forest of Bowland in the north to the coastal flatlands and Pennine mill towns in the south. Lancaster, the county town, boasts some of the finest Georgian buildings in northern England, while Blackpool is unrivalled for spectacular seaside architecture. The resorts of Morecambe and Southport, the planned Early Victorian port at Fleetwood and industrial Preston with its grand Victorian churches all add to the urban diversity. Rural highlights include the celebrated Jesuit school at Stonyhurst and the extravagantly Neo-Gothic Scarisbrick Hall, two key sites of Catholic architectural patronage. A diverse inheritance of gentry houses and some distinctive traditions of vernacular building lend further variety.

Each city, town and village is treated in a detailed gazetteer. An expert general introduction provides a historical and artistic overview.

Numerous maps and plans, over a hundred new colour photographs, full indexes and an illustrated glossary help to make this book invaluable as both reference work and guide.

Gwynedd The Buildings of Wales Richard Haslam, Julian Orbach and Adam Voelcker The spectacular landscapes of Gwynedd—the historic counties of Anglesey, Caernarfon and Merioneth—are the setting for many of Wales’s greatest buildings. Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Conwy and Harlech castles are unsurpassed as works of medieval military architecture. Penrhyn is the epitome of romantic castle-making from the Regency age, while the bridges and viaducts constructed for Thomas Telford’s new high road and Robert Stephenson’s main-line railway are enduring wonders of 19thcentury engineering. The Picturesque tradition makes a late and unexpected flowering at Portmeirion, the bewitching Italianate seaside village founded between the wars by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis.

Prehistoric and Early Christian sites of evocative power are scattered through the mountainous interior, intermixed with a unique inheritance of early industrial monuments, including vast slate quarries and some celebrated narrow-gauge railways. The diverse towns include the planned Georgian settlement at Tremadog and the ambitious seaside resort of Llandudno. Medieval churches, Nonconformist chapels and houses in distinctive vernacular traditions are plentiful throughout. Altogether, no area of Wales is more rewarding to the architectural traveller.

The Town House in Georgian London Rachel Stewart This book takes a fresh look at a familiar building type—the town house in 18th-century London—and investigates the circumstances in which individuals made decisions about living in London, and particularly about their West End house. It uncovers what occupants of town houses thought about their property, why and how they chose or built it, paid for it, used it, decorated it and sold or bequeathed it, and what uses it had for them beyond simply accommodation. For the first time, this book takes as a starting point the houseowner, occupant or architect’s client, and through extensive and original use of anecdotal evidence, opens up a wealth of unforeseen values, uses and connections attaching to the house.

Rachel Stewart shows how the use of the house comprised much more than living in it on a day-to-day basis, and included how it functioned in the context of family relations, financial, legal and property transactions and the market, as well as in the construction of personal identity. At the same time as exploring private perceptions and expectations, Stewart reveals how the town house unsettled many 18th-century observers, and analyses an unprecedented range of evidence to show how it was associated with notions of transience, changeability, imperfection, luxury and selfishness. By stepping away from conventional tales of economics, materials or style, and into the previously unexplored world of the houseowner, the book offers an entirely original reading of a familiar building.

Compass and Rule Architecture as Mathematical Practice in England Anthony Gerbino and Stephen Johnston The spread of Renaissance culture in England coincided with the birth of the profession of architecture, whose practitioners soon became superior to simple builders in social standing and perceived intellectual prowess. This stimulating book, which focuses in particular on the scientist, mathematician and architect Sir Christopher Wren, explores the extent to which this new professional identity was based on expertise in the mathematical arts and sciences.

Featuring drawings, instruments, paintings and other examples of the material culture of English architecture, the book discusses the role of mathematics in architectural design and building technology. It begins with architectural drawing in the 16th century, moves to large-scale technical drawing under Henry VIII, considers Inigo Jones and his royal buildings and Christopher Wren and the dome of St. Paul’s and concludes with the architectural education of George III. Interweaving text and visual image, the book investigates the boundaries between art and science in architecture—the most artistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the arts.

Working in his villa in the south of France, Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947) suffused his late canvases with radiant Mediterranean light and dazzling colour. Although his subjects were close at hand— usually everyday domestic scenes—Bonnard rarely painted from life.

Instead, he made pencil sketches in diaries and relied on these, along with his memory, as he executed the works in his studio. These interiors thus often conflate details from the artist’s daily life with fleeting, mysterious evocations of his past. The spectral figures who appear at the margins of the canvases, overshadowed by brilliantly coloured baskets of fruit or other props, create an atmosphere of profound ambiguity and puzzling abstraction: the mundane rendered in a wholly new pictorial language.

Duccio and the Origins of Western Painting

The Metropolitan Museum of Art • New York

Keith Christiansen In 2004 the Metropolitan Museum acquired an extremely rare and beautiful Madonna and Child by the great painter Duccio di Buoninsegna. Duccio, who died in 1318, has long been recognised as the father of Sienese painting, and he fostered a new generation of talented and innovative painters. In art history textbooks, however, his considerable contribution to European painting is often overshadowed by the work of his contemporary Giotto.

Christiansen examines the fascinating connection between Giotto and Duccio, which he likens to Michelangelo’s relationship with Raphael, or Picasso’s with Matisse, and explains the particular qualities that make Duccio such an essential artist.

Augustus SaintGaudens in The Metropolitan Museum of Art Thayer Tolles This book recounts the engaging story of a French-Irish immigrant who became the greatest American sculptor of his day. During his lifetime Saint-Gaudens (1848–1907) both contributed to exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum and served as an advisor to its staff. After his death the Museum continued steadily to acquire his sculptures. Today it owns 45 of the sculptor’s works, ranging from delicate cameos and medals to innovative painterly bas-reliefs to stirring statuettes and portrait busts after Civil War monuments for East Coast cities.

Thayer Tolles appraises Saint-Gaudens’s groundbreaking position in the history of late 19th-century American sculpture and the Aesthetic Movement, and she also addresses his role in advancing American art on the international stage.

The Pictures Generation, 1974–1984 Douglas Eklund This handsome book is the first comprehensive examination of the Pictures Generation, a loosely knit group of artists working in New York from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s.

The overarching subject of the work of these artists was imagery itself—how pictures not only depict but also shape how we perceive the world and ourselves. The collective achievement of this group is an extremely important chapter in the history of contemporary art.

Born into an expanding media and consumer culture and educated in the strategies of Minimal and Conceptual art, the artists of the Pictures Generation, including Robert Longo, Richard Prince, David Salle and Cindy Sherman, chose to return to representation, addressing the rhetorical, social and psychological functions of the image across all media (photography, painting and sculpture, drawings and prints, film and video, and music and performance).

While the careers of these artists are typically considered in isolation, this catalogue traces their complex interrelationships and mutual development, beginning with the emergence of a group sensibility characterised by techniques of distancing and theatricality and ending with a resurgence of painting by mostly male artists (which was contested by women artists working in media such as video, photography and installation).

The Jaharis Gospel Lectionary The Story of a Byzantine Book John Lowden Until 2008 the Jaharis Lectionary was a hidden treasure: an illuminated Byzantine manuscript that was almost entirely unknown, even to scholars. Superbly preserved, it is arguably the most important Byzantine work to come to the Metropolitan Museum’s renowned collection since the 1917 gifts of J. Pierpont Morgan. It represents the apogee of Constantinopolitan craftsmanship around the year 1100.

In this important study, John Lowden, a leading expert on Byzantine manuscripts, discusses his discoveries about this extraordinary manuscript within the broader context of Byzantine book illumination. He traces the book’s history from its acquisition to its production in Constantinople.

By detailed analysis and comparison, the author shows how the manuscript was made for use in the patriarchal church of Hagia Sophia.

Art of the Korean Renaissance, 1400–1600 Soyoung Lee With JaHyun Kim Haboush, Sunpyo Hong and Chin-Sung Chang This notable catalogue—the first English-language publication on the subject— highlights the art of the early period (1392–1592) of Korea’s revolutionary Joseon dynasty. The Joseon rulers replaced the Buddhist establishment and recreated a Korean society informed on every level by Neo-Confucian ideals. They supported the production of innovative secular art inspired by past traditions, both native and from the broader Confucian world.

Yet despite official policies, court-sponsored Buddhist art endured, contributing to the rich complexity of the early Joseon culture.

The exquisite paintings, porcelain and other ceramics, metalware, and lacquerware featured in the book are drawn from the holdings of major Korean and Japanese museums, the collection of the Metropolitan Museum and other U.S. collections and private collections.

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

Agnes Martin Edited by Lynne Cooke and Karen Kelly • With essays by Rhea Anastas, Douglas Crimp, Jonathan D. Katz, Michael Newman, Kathryn A. Tuma et al.

Gorgeously quiet in colour and composition, Agnes Martin’s paintings have a distinctive grace that sets them apart from those of the Abstract Expressionists of her day and the Minimalist artists she inspired. Martin attributed her grid-based works to metaphysical motivations, lending a serene complexity to her oeuvre that has defied any easy categorisation. Perhaps for this reason, critical and scholarly analysis of her paintings has been scarce, until now. This important new anthology brings together the most current scholarship on Martin’s paintings by twelve multidisciplinary essayists who consider various aspects of the artist’s four-decade career.

Organised by Dia Art Foundation, this publication brings renewed focus and energy to Martin’s career and her contributions to the art historical narrative.

Translation rights: Dia Art Foundation, New York

Zoe Leonard You see I am here after all Lynne Cooke, Angela L. Miller and Ann Reynolds The prototypical American vacationland, Niagara Falls has been popular with honeymooners and families for more than a century. The image of its cascading white water was made familiar in part through postcards, which in turn helped to transform this natural wonder into a tourist destination. Zoe Leonard’s You see I am here after all brings together thousands of these postcard images of the ‘great cataract’, from the early 1900s through the 1950s. This grand accumulation of viewpoints, organised by Leonard taxonomically in accordance with their positions along the perimeter of the panoramic site, brings up issues as diverse as human interventions with nature and the function of landscape in inventing American historical narratives, as well as the technological evolution of image reproduction and dissemination.

Dada’s Women Ruth Hemus The European Dada movement of the early 20th century has long been regarded as a male preserve, one in which women have been relegated to footnotes or mentioned only as the wives, girlfriends or sisters of Dada men. This fascinating book challenges that assumption, focusing on the creative contributions made to Dada by five pivotal European women.

Ruth Hemus establishes the ways in which Emmy Hennings and Sophie Taeuber in Zurich, Hannah Höch in Berlin and Suzanne Duchamp and Céline Arnauld in Paris made important interventions across fine art, literature and performance. Hemus highlights how their techniques and approaches were characteristic of Dada’s rebellion against aesthetic and cultural conventions, analyses the impact of gender on each woman’s work, and shows convincingly that they were innovators and not imitators. In its new and original perspective on Dada, the book broadens our appreciation and challenges accepted understandings of this revolutionary avant-garde movement.

Dove/O’Keeffe Circles of Influence Debra Bricker Balken From the outset of her career, Georgia O’Keeffe credited her introduction to modernism as deriving in part from a reproduction of a pastel by Arthur Dove she saw around 1913. By this time Dove was well established as the foremost modernist artist in America, yet O’Keeffe herself would later become a source of renewal for his work.

Renowned scholar Debra Bricker Balken here offers the first investigation into the interrelationship between these two great artists.

She shows that while Dove’s sensual evocations of landscape—his abstractions of nature’s undulating rhythms and forms—offered inspiration for O’Keeffe, the influence of O’Keeffe’s work on Dove was equally significant. After 1930, Dove turned to O’Keeffe’s early works for renewed aesthetic inspiration, mining, as he put it, her “burning watercolours”.

An original examination of how Arthur Dove and Georgia O’Keeffe shaped each other’s careers

Beyond examining the impact of these mutual influences, this beautifully illustrated publication situates Dove and O’Keeffe within the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, and brings them into a fuller context within the modernist scene of the 1920s and 1930s. What emerges is a fascinating look at the first pivotal moment of modernism in America.

Photographs in Sequence

With essays by Christoph Cox, Branden W. Joseph, Liz Kotz, Ulrich Loock, Peter Pakesch and Alex Potts

Edited by Joel Smith With contributions by Peter Barberie, Kelly Baum, Anne McCauley, Kevin Moore and Joel Smith The essays in More than One examine sequentiality and serialism in the practice of photography from the medium’s earliest years to the present.

Contributors explore nuances of syntax and sense raised by works like photographic albums, books, thematic portfolios, journalistic photo features and documentations of performance art.

Fully illustrated essays discuss, among other topics, the littleknown volume Beyond This Point (1929), a collaborative experiment by American photographer Francis Bruguiere and London radio producer Lance Sieveking; the evolving relationship between public space and sexual self-definition in the early work of Minor White; and an important performance work by artist Ana Mendieta. The title essay surveys the social conditions and expressive motives that have given rise to serial and sequential forms throughout the history of photography.

In 1977, Max Neuhaus turned a triangle of pedestrian space between 45th and 46th Streets in Times Square into an island of harmonic sound. The rich textures of that sound continue today, emanating from beneath the sidewalk grating, to anonymously reach an individual’s ears as if one has stumbled upon a secret. Known as Times Square, the celebrated installation was restored in 2002 with support from Dia Art Foundation, which further commissioned a sitespecific piece, Time Piece Beacon, from Neuhaus in 2006 for its museum in Beacon, New York.

This book—the only volume in print dedicated solely to the work of Neuhaus—takes these two projects as a point of departure from which to consider the impact this artist has had in establishing sound as a medium in art. An interview with Neuhaus is complemented with essays by multidisciplinary scholars.

Max Neuhaus is an artist who has created sound works for specific environments in the United States and Europe, including the Menil Collection, Houston; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland and the Venice Biennale.

denver and What We Bought, together with The New West, form a loose trilogy of Robert Adams’s work exploring the rapidly developing landscape of the Denver metropolitan area from 1968 through 1974. In the former two books, Adams created a comprehensive document that was resolute in its avoidance of romantic notions of the American West and dispassionately honest about man’s despoliation of the land. Both books demonstrate the artist at the height of his powers as a documentary photographer and a poetic sequencer of images.

The photographs featured in denver and What We Bought show tract housing with mountain ranges in the distance, trailer lots devoid of people, suburban streets through generic windows, shopping mall interiors and parking lots: subjects distinctly unspectacular, familiar and banal. Adams’s compositions are straightforward and democratic, and it is this precise turn from sentimentality that has made Adams one of the most influential figures in the history of American photography.

These exquisite new editions, printed in rich tritones, celebrate this landmark work. denver also includes new and previously unpublished photographs from the project, chosen and sequenced by Adams himself.

Tea Culture of Japan Sadako Ohki With Takeshi Watanabe Imported to Japan from China during the 9th century, the custom of serving tea did not become widespread until the 13th century. By the late 15th and 16th centuries, tea was ceremonially prepared by a skilled tea master and served to guests in a tranquil setting. This way of preparing tea became known as chanoyu, literally ‘hot water for tea’.

This elegant book explores the aesthetics and history of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, examining the nature of tea collections and the links between connoisseurship, politics and international relations. It also surveys current practices and settings in light of the ongoing transformation of the tradition in contemporary tea houses. Among the precious objects discussed and pictured are ceramic tea bowls, wooden tea scoops, metal sake pourers and lacquered incense containers, as well as folding screens that evoke the historical settings of serving tea.

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

Backstage Pass Rock & Roll Photography Preface by Greil Marcus • Glenn O’Brien, Anne Wilkes Tucker and Laura Levine Contributions by Thomas Andrew Denenberg and Kate Simon This striking collection of photographs features nearly every important figure in the world of rock & roll, from Elvis to Eric Clapton, the Beatles to Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix to John Coltrane. Many of the nearly one hundred images have rarely been published, and all reveal fascinating glimpses of celebrities off stage, away from the glare of the spotlights. Shot from the mid-fifties to the mid-nineties, the portraits often have a spontaneous, informal and everyday feel, and most record their subjects before they had become immensely famous—and well practised in posing for photographs. The more than fifty photographers who contribute to the volume are among the most talented in their field, including Lee Friedlander, Lynn Goldsmith, Bob Gruen and Mick Rock.

Three original essays address topics suggested by the photographs. The authors discuss the coded nature of celebrity portraiture, the 1970s music scene in New York City, the frank sexuality of rock musicians and how the Beatles’ look evolved over time. This book will be treasured not only by fans of rock & roll music and admirers of photographic portraits, but also by those who remember the vanished time when photographers had genuine access to performers, and were a crucial element in the worlds they were documenting.

The Disappearance of Objects New York Art and the Rise of the Postmodern City Joshua Shannon In the years around 1960, a rapid process of deindustrialisation profoundly changed New York City. At the same time, massive highway construction, urban housing renewal and the growth of the financial sector altered the city’s landscape. As the new economy took shape, manufacturing lofts, piers and small shops were replaced by sleek high-rise housing blocks and office towers.

Focusing on works by Claes Oldenburg, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Donald Judd, art historian Joshua Shannon shows how New York art engaged with this transformation of the city. Shannon convincingly argues that these four artists, all living amid the changes, filled their art with old street signs, outmoded flashlights and other discarded objects in a richly revealing effort to understand the economic and architectural transformation of their city.

Joshua Shannon is assistant professor of contemporary art history and theory at the University of Maryland.

Now widely known, this field has had significant influence in university departments and building projects around the world, but its roots in the urbanism of CIAM are not well understood.

CIAM proposed a new type of architecture, one that drew on the strategies of both modern art and engineering to promote efficiency and rational city planning. Mumford challenges the idea that this modern urbanism only resulted in the clearing of historical neighbourhoods in favour of the public housing that would famously fail. Rather, Mumford argues, CIAM goals were instrumental in forming the field of urban design, and it was the rejection of these goals by politicians and bureaucrats, rather than their implementation, that led to the now familiar and lamentable results of urban renewal and metropolitan sprawl.

Eric Mumford is associate professor of architecture and art history at Washington University in St. Louis.

Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Reconstructing Urban Landscapes Edited by Anita Berrizbeitia • Introduction by Paul Goldberger Contributions by Jane Amidon, Andrew Blum, Ethan Carr, Erik de Jong, Peter Fergusson, Rachel Gleeson, Linda Pollak and Elissa Rosenberg Instilling a poetics of place is a goal of Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (MVVA), the famous landscape design firm that has created successful public spaces in some of the most challenging urban sites. In these locations, nature offers not so much an escape from city living as a teasing dialogue with built structures. The whole experience is aimed, as critic Paul Goldberger notes, to “make you see everything, city and nature alike, with a striking intensity”.

Richly illustrated and handsomely designed, this is the first publication to explore a wide range of MVVA’s projects, focusing on the firm’s trend towards sites requiring complex technological solutions. Leading critics and historians look at twelve projects, dating from 1992 to the present, and each posing a challenge—such as contamination, isolation and lengthy public approval proceedings. They explore the process through which the firm researches such issues and how solutions are embedded in the final aesthetics and spatial structure of the sites.

Anita Berrizbeitia is an associate professor of landscape architecture at the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania.

Paul Goldberger is an architecture critic for The New Yorker and the Joseph Urban Professor of Design and Architecture at The New School.

Master Paintings in the Art Institute of Chicago

Miniature Rooms The Thorne Rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago Entries by Fannia Weingartner Introduction by Bruce Hatton Boyer

Introduction

by James Cuno This revised, expanded and redesigned edition of a best-selling book from the Art Institute of Chicago features many favourite paintings from the collection—approximately 150 works from Europe and the Americas, ranging from the 15th to the early 21st century. Twenty-three images from the previous edition have been replaced with other key or recently acquired works, and the majority of the text entries have been updated. Celebrated artwork by Impressionists and Post-Impressionists like Renoir and Seurat join paintings by Old Master artists like Rubens and Rembrandt; works by 18th- and 19th-century American artists including Copley and Whistler appear with recently acquired paintings by Lichtenstein and Twombly—works displayed in the museum’s new Modern Wing (opening spring 2009).

The Thorne Rooms, sixtyeight miniature models of European interiors from the 16th century on and American furnishings from the 17th century on, have entranced generations of visitors to the Art Institute of Chicago. This charming book showcases these rooms, featuring full-colour views of each one.

The introductory essay by Bruce Hatton Boyer chronicles how Chicago socialite Mrs. James Ward Thorne conceived the rooms. They were made between 1934 and 1940 by a number of skilled craftsmen according to her specifications. Many of the rooms were inspired by interiors in historic houses, palaces and sites Mrs. Thorne visited, and Fannia Weingartner’s commentaries provide information about each one.

James Cuno is President and Eloise W. Martin Director of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Fannia Weingartner was the editor of Chicago History and the head of the publications office at the Chicago Historical Society. Bruce Hatton Boyer is a historian and novelist.

Degas in the Norton Simon Museum Nineteenth-Century Art • Volume 2 Sara Campbell • Richard Kendall, Daphne Barbour, Shelley Sturman Edgar Degas was one of the first artists collected by the industrialist and art collector Norton Simon (1907–1993), as well as one of the last. In the short span of less than thirty years, Simon assembled one of the world’s most impressive private art collections, which included more than 100 examples by Degas. In late 1955, a few months after Simon began collecting, he acquired both a bronze sculpture and a pastel by Degas. In May 1983, towards the end of his collecting life, he purchased three Degas pastels at auction. In the three decades in between he bought and sold 131 examples of this extraordinary artist’s works. This comprehensive and beautiful book, a collections catalogue of the artworks by Edgar Degas housed in the Norton Simon Museum, offers not only a fascinating insight into the evolution of Simon’s extensive and remarkable Degas collection, but a descriptive and informative account of the current collection prepared by Degas scholars exceptionally qualified to write about the artist.

The book is organised by the Museum’s Senior Curator, Sara Campbell. The 30 works are catalogued by renowned Degas scholar Richard Kendall. The Norton Simon Degas sculptures—unique foundry models cast directly from Degas’s wax originals—are the casts used by the foundry to reproduce all subsequent editions of Degas bronzes. These bronzes are catalogued by Daphne Barbour and Shelley Sturman, object conservators at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., home to the original waxes. Sara Campbell, curator of the Simon collections for almost 40 years, provides a history of Norton Simon’s interest in Degas, and an updated inventory of her 1995 catalogue raisonné of Degas’s bronze sculptures. The essay on Degas’s bronze casting written by Barbour and Sturman presents technical data discovered with the aid of measuring technology never previously used on Degas bronzes.

William Merritt Chase Landscapes in Oil Ronald G. Pisano • Completed by Carolyn K. Lane • With a chronology by D. Frederick Baker Admired for finding beauty in everyday surroundings, William Merritt Chase (1849–1916) brought an autobiographical element to his work, earning him a unique place in late-19th-century American art history. This book, the third of four volumes to document the complete works of Chase, traces his career as a landscape painter.

Following Chase’s training in Munich in the 1870s and his many trips to Spain in the early 1880s, his works became light filled and colourful. These paintings anticipate Chase’s well-known park scenes of the 1880s painted in Brooklyn and New York and his 1890s works depicting the hills and shoreline adjacent to his home in Shinnecock Hills, Long Island, now recognised as being among the most important examples of American Impressionism. This book presents all of his known landscapes painted in oil, which include many of his best-loved works.

Ronald G. Pisano, who was curator of the Heckscher Museum of Art and director of the Parrish Art Museum, researched and prepared the complete catalogue of Chase’s work for over thirty years before his untimely death in 2000.

Call of the Coast Art Colonies of New England Thomas Andrew Denenberg and Amy Kurtz Lansing The early 20th century brought renewed focus upon the image of the coast and witnessed the formation of art colonies in Old Lyme, Connecticut and Ogunquit and Monhegan, Maine. These creative communities became an inspiration for artists and art students, among them Edward Hopper, Childe Hassam, Robert Henri, Rockwell Kent and George Bellows. Visually stunning, this book explores the importance of place for artists in these colonies, and the development of impressionist Connecticut and modernist Maine within the visual traditions of the coast of New England.

Writings on Architecture

The Extreme of the Middle

Paul Rudolph Foreword by Robert A. M. Stern

Writings of Jack Tworkov

The first collection of writings by one of the most innovative architects and educators of the 1950s and 1960s, this book includes a wealth of recently discovered archival materials and many previously unpublished photographs.

Featured texts include a selection of Paul Rudolph’s published critical writings, which cover such topics as Rudolph’s views about the architecture and city planning of his time and the proper way to educate an architectural student. Recent controversies about the preservation of many of Rudolph’s buildings, including the landmark Art and Architecture Building at Yale which celebrates its 45th anniversary and grand reopening in November 2008, make this a timely publication.

Paul Rudolph (1918–1997) was chair of the Yale School of Architecture from 1958 to 1967. He designed projects for institutions and corporations worldwide, developing a personal and distinctive organisation of space and gaining renown for his Brutalist concrete structures.

Rosenfeld’s Lives Fame, Oblivion, and the Furies of Writing Steven J. Zipperstein Born in Chicago in 1918, the prodigiously gifted and erudite Isaac Rosenfeld was anointed a ‘genius’ upon the publication of his novel, Passage from Home and was expected to surpass even his closest friend and rival, Saul Bellow. Yet when felled by a heart attack at the age of thirty-eight, Rosenfeld had published relatively little, his life reduced to a metaphor for literary failure.

In this deeply contemplative book, Steven Zipperstein seeks to reclaim Rosenfeld’s legacy by opening up his work. Zipperstein examines for the first time the small mountain of unfinished manuscripts the writer left behind, as well as his fiercely candid journals and letters. In the process, Zipperstein unearths a turbulent life that was obsessively grounded in a profound commitment to the ideals of the writing life.

A haunting study of the fascinating mind of Saul Bellow’s unjustly forgotten friend and literary rival

Rosenfeld’s Lives is a fascinating exploration of literary genius and aspiration, and the paradoxical power of literature to elevate and to enslave. It illuminates the cultural and political tensions of post-war America, Jewish intellectual life of the era, and—most poignantly—the struggle at the heart of any writer’s life.

The Tainted Muse Prejudice and Presumption in Shakespeare’s Works and Times Robert Brustein This book is a masterful and engaging exploration of both Shakespeare’s works and his age. Concentrating on six recurring prejudices in Shakespeare’s plays—such as misogyny, elitism, distrust of effeminacy and racism—Robert Brustein examines how Shakespeare and his contemporaries treated them. More than simply a thematic study, the book reveals a playwright constantly exploiting and exploring his own personal stances. These prejudices, Brustein finds, are not unchanging; over time they vary in intensity and treatment.

Shakespeare is an artist who invariably reflects the predilections of his age, and yet almost always manages to transcend them.

A provocative look at Shakespeare in his age by one of our most influential theatre critics

May 272 pp. 210x140mm.

ISBN 978-0-300-11576-5 £18.99*

Brustein considers the whole of Shakespeare’s plays, from the early histories to the later romances, though he gives special attention to Hamlet, King Lear, Othello and The Tempest. Drawing comparisons to plays by Marlowe, Middleton and Marston, Brustein investigates how Shakespeare’s contemporaries were preoccupied with similar themes, and how these different artists treated the current prejudices in their own ways. Rather than confining Shakespeare to his age, this book has the wonderful quality of illuminating both what he shared with his time and what is unique about his approach.

Robert Brustein was founding director of the Yale Repertory Theatre and of the American Repertory Theatre, and was drama critic for the New Republic for almost fifty years. He is the author of six plays, eleven adaptations and sixteen books.

Can Poetry Save the Earth?

Between Fire and Sleep

A Field Guide to Nature Poems

Jaroslaw Anders

John Felstiner Poems vivifying nature have gripped people for centuries.

From ancient Biblical times to the present day, poetry has continuously drawn us to the natural world. In this thoughtprovoking book, John Felstiner explores the rich legacy of poems that take nature as their subject, and he demonstrates their force and beauty. In our own time of environmental crises, he contends, poetry has a unique capacity to restore our attention to our environment in its imperiled state. And, as we take heed, we may well become better stewards of the earth.

In forty brief and lucid chapters, Felstiner presents those voices that have most strongly spoken to and for the natural world. Poets—from the Romantics through Whitman and Dickinson to Elizabeth Bishop and Gary Snyder—have helped us envision such details as ocean winds eroding and rebuilding dunes in the same breath, wild deer freezing in our presence, and a person carving initials on a still-living stranded whale.

Sixty colour and black-and-white images bear out visually the environmental imagination this book discovers.

John Felstiner is professor of English, Stanford University.

Essays on Modern Polish Poetry and Prose Twentieth-century Polish literature is often said to be a ‘witness to history’, a narrative of the historical and political disasters that visited the nation. In this insightful book, Jaroslaw Anders examines Poland’s modern poetry and fiction and explains that the best Polish writing of the period 1918–1989 was much more than testimony. Rather, it constantly transformed historical experience into metaphysical reflection, a philosophical or religious exploration of human existence.

Anders analyses and contextualises the work of nine modern Polish writers. These include the ‘three madmen’ of the interwar period—Schulz, Gombrowicz and Witkiewicz, whom he calls the fathers of Polish modernist prose; the great poets of the war generation—Milosz, Herbert and Szymborska; Herling-Grudzinski and Konwicki, with their dark philosophical subtexts; and the mystical-ecstatic poet Zagajewski. A collection of essays representing Anders’s thinking over several decades, Between Fire and Sleep offers a fresh understanding of modern Polish literature and cultural identity.

Jaroslaw Anders has served as editor, writer, broadcaster and producer for Voice of America since 1984. He has translated several books from English into Polish and from Polish into English.

It Is Daylight Arda Collins Foreword, Louise Glück

Life Organic Form and Romanticism Denise Gigante What makes something alive? Or, more to the point, what is life? The question is as old as the ages and has not been (and may never be) resolved. Life springs from life, and liveliness motivates matter to act the way it does. Yet vitality in its very unpredictability often appears as a threat. In this intellectually stimulating work, Denise Gigante looks at how major writers of the Romantic period strove to produce living forms of art on an analogy with biological form, often finding themselves face to face with a power known as monstrous.

The poets Christopher Smart, William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats were all immersed in a culture obsessed with scientific ideas about vital power and its generation, and they broke with poetic convention in imagining new forms of life. In Life: Organic Form and Romanticism, Gigante offers a way to read ostensibly difficult poetry and reflects on the natural-philosophical idea of organic form and the discipline of literary studies.

Denise Gigante is associate professor of English, Stanford University, author of Taste: A Literary History and editor of The Great Age of the English Essay: An Anthology, both published by Yale.

Arda Collins is the 2008 winner of the annual Yale Series of Younger Poets competition. Mesmerising and electric, her volume reads as a series of dramatic monologues articulated in the privacy of an enclosed space. The poems are concrete and yet metaphysically challenging, both witty and despairing. Collins’ emotional complexity and uncommon range make this debut both thrillingly imaginative and ethical in its uncompromising attention to detail. In her Foreword, contest judge Louise Glück observes “I know no poet whose sense of fraud, the inflated emptiness that substitutes for feeling, is more acute”.

Glück calls Collins’ volume “savage, desolate, brutally ironic . . . a book of astonishing originality and intensity, unprecedented, unrepeatable”.

Arda Collins is pursuing a Ph.D. in poetry. Her poems have been published in journals including The New Yorker and The American Poetry Review. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop where she was a Glenn Schaeffer Fellow.

Faulkner and Love The Women Who Shaped His Art Judith L. Sensibar This book is about the making of the writer William Faulkner. It is the first to inquire into the three most important women in his life—his black and white mothers, Caroline Barr and Maud Falkner and the childhood friend who became his wife, Estelle Oldham. In this new exploration of Faulkner’s creative process, Judith L. Sensibar discovers that these women’s relationships with Faulkner were not simply close; they gave life to his imagination. Sensibar brings to the foreground, as Faulkner did, this ‘female world’, an approach unprecedented in Faulkner biography.

Through extensive research in untapped biographical sources, including archival materials and interviews with the women’s families and other members of the communities in which they lived, Sensibar transcends existing scholarship and reconnects Faulkner’s biography to his work. She demonstrates how the themes of race, tormented love and addiction that permeated his fiction, had their origins in his three defining relationships with women. Sensibar alters and enriches our understanding not only of Faulkner, his art and the complex world of the American South that came to life in his brilliant fiction, but also of darknesses, fears and unspokens that Faulkner unveiled in the American psyche.

Judith L. Sensibar is professor emeritus, Department of English, Arizona State University. She is the author of The Origins of Faulkner’s Art, praised as a seminal work in Faulkner scholarship, and of numerous essays on Faulkner and other topics.

The American Play 1787–2000 Marc Robinson In this brilliant study, Marc Robinson explores more than two hundred years of plays, styles and stagings of American theatre.

Mapping the changing cultural landscape from the late 18th century to the start of the 21st, he explores how theatre has, and has not, changed and offers close readings of plays by O’Neill, Stein, Wilder, Miller and Albee, as well as by important but perhaps lesser known dramatists such as Wallace Stevens, Jean Toomer, Djuna Barnes and many others. Robinson reads each work in an ambitiously interdisciplinary context, linking advances in theatre to developments in American literature, dance and visual art.

The author is particularly attentive to continuities in American drama, and expertly teases out recurring themes, such as the significance of visuality. He avoids neatly categorising 19th- and 20th-century plays and depicts a theatre more restive and mercurial than has been recognised before. Robinson proves both a fascinating and thought-provoking critic and a spirited guide to the history of American drama.

Marc Robinson is professor of theatre studies, English, and American studies at Yale University and adjunct professor of dramaturgy and dramatic criticism at the Yale School of Drama. He is the author of The Other American Drama and a frequent contributor to theatre journals.

He also relates his four composers historically and stylistically to such predecessors as Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, the French harpsichord school, and Russian and Spanish music.

Challenging long-held assumptions about performance practice, Howat elucidates the rhythmic vitality and invention inherent in French music. In granting Fauré and Chabrier equal consideration with Debussy and Ravel, he redresses a historic imbalance and reshapes our perceptions of this entire musical tradition. Outstanding historical documentation and analysis are supported by Howat’s direct references to performing traditions shaped by the composers themselves.

The book balances accessibility with scholarly and analytic rigour, combining a lifetime’s scholarship with practical experience of teaching and the concert platform.

Kander and Ebb

Hitler’s Gift to American Music

James Leve

Exiles and Émigrés in Southern California

Composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb collaborated for more than forty years, longer than any such partnership in Broadway history. Together they wrote over twenty musicals.

Their two most successful works, Cabaret and Chicago, had critically acclaimed Broadway revivals and were made into Oscar-winning films.

Dorothy Lamb Crawford

This book, the first study of Kander and Ebb, examines their artistic accomplishments as individuals and as a team.

Drawing on personal papers and on numerous interviews, James Leve analyses the unique nature of this collaboration.

Leve discusses their contribution to the concept musical; he examines some of their most popular works including Cabaret, Chicago and Kiss of the Spider Woman and he reassesses their ‘flops’ as well as their incomplete and abandoned projects.

Filled with fascinating information, the book is a resource for students of musical theatre and lovers of Kander and Ebb’s songs and shows.

“The first important study of Kander and Ebb. A very useful book, thoughtfully presenting material not otherwise readily available.”—Raymond Knapp, UCLA James Leve is associate professor of musicology and coordinator of music history, Northern Arizona University.

He has a forthcoming textbook on musical theatre.

This book is the first to examine the brilliant gathering of composers, conductors and other musicians who fled Nazi Germany and arrived in the Los Angeles area. Musicologist Dorothy Lamb Crawford looks closely at the lives, creative work and influence of sixteen performers, fourteen composers and one opera stage director, who joined this immense migration beginning in the 1930s. Some in this group were famous when they fled Europe, others would gain recognition in the young musical culture of Los Angeles, and still others struggled to establish themselves in an environment often resistant to musical innovation.

Emphasising individual voices, Crawford presents short portraits of Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg and the other musicians while also considering their influence as a group— in the film industry, in music institutions in and around Los Angeles, and as teachers who trained the next generation.

The book reveals a uniquely vibrant era when Southern California became a hub of unprecedented musical talent.

Dorothy Lamb Crawford has lived and worked in music throughout her career, teaching and lecturing, performing as a singer, directing opera and hosting broadcast interviews with musicians. She is author of Evenings On and Off the Roof: Pioneering Concerts in Los Angeles, 1939–1971 and (with John C. Crawford) Expressionism in Twentieth-Century Music.

A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus Volume 4: Law and Love John P. Meier John Meier’s previous volumes in the acclaimed series A Marginal Jew are founded upon the notion that while solid historical information about Jesus is quite limited, people of different faiths can nevertheless arrive at a consensus on fundamental historical facts of his life.

This volume addresses the teachings of Jesus on major legal topics like divorce, oaths, the Sabbath, purity rules and the various love commandments in the Gospels. What emerges from Meier’s research is a profile of a complicated 1st-century Palestinian Jew who, far from seeking to abolish the Law, was deeply engaged in debates about its observance. Only by embracing this portrait of the historical Jesus grappling with questions of the Torah do we avoid the common mistake of constructing Christian moral theology under the guise of studying ‘Jesus and the Law’, the author concludes.

Proverbs 10–31 A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary by Michael V. Fox This volume completes Bible scholar Michael V. Fox’s comprehensive commentary on the book of Proverbs. As in his previous volume on the early chapters of Proverbs, the author here translates and explains in accessible language the meaning and literary qualities of the sayings and poems that comprise the final chapters. He gives special attention to comparable sayings in other wisdom books, particularly from Egypt, and makes extensive use of medieval Hebrew commentaries, which have received scant attention in previous Proverb commentaries. In separate sections set in smaller type, the author addresses technical issues of text and language for interested scholars.

The author’s essays at the end of the commentary view the book of Proverbs in its entirety and investigate its ideas of wisdom, ethics, revelation and knowledge. Out of Proverbs’ great variety of sayings from different times, Fox shows, there emerges a unified vision of life, its obligations and its potentials.

John P. Meier is William K. Warren Chair Professor of Theology (New Testament), Theology Department, University of Notre Dame.

Michael V. Fox is Halls-Bascom Professor of Hebrew, University of Wisconsin, Madison. His previous books include Proverbs 1–9, available from Yale.

Kinship by Covenant A Canonical Approach to the Fulfillment of God’s Saving Promises Scott Hahn In this deeply researched and thoughtful book, Scott Hahn shows how covenant, as an overarching theme, makes possible a coherent reading of the diverse traditions found within the canonical scriptures.

Biblical covenants, though varied in form and content, all serve the purpose of extending sacred bonds of kinship, Hahn explains. Specifically, divine covenants form and shape a fatherson bond between God and the chosen people. Biblical narratives turn on that fact, and biblical theology depends upon it. With meticulous attention to detail, the author demonstrates how divine sonship represents a covenant relationship with God that has been consistent throughout salvation history.

Scott Hahn is Pope Benedict XVI Chair of Biblical Theology, St. Vincent Seminary, and professor of scripture and theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville. He is also founder and president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.

Mark 8–16 Joel Marcus In the final nine chapters of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus increasingly struggles with his disciples’ incomprehension of his unique concept of suffering messiahship and with the opposition of the religious leaders of his day. The Gospel recounts the events that led to Jesus’ arrest, trial and crucifixion by the Roman authorities, concluding with an enigmatic ending in which Jesus’s resurrection is announced but not displayed.

In this volume Joel Marcus offers a new translation of Mark 8–16 with extensive commentary and notes. He situates the narrative within the context of 1st-century Palestine and the larger GraecoRoman world, within the political context of the Jewish revolt against the Romans and within the religious context of the early church’s engagement with Judaism, pagan religion and its own internal problems. For religious scholars, pastors and interested lay people alike, the book provides an accessible and enlightening window on the second of the canonical Gospels.

Joel Marcus is professor of New Testament and Christian Origins, Duke Divinity School.

Bite the Hand That Feeds You

Shanghai’s Bund and Beyond

Essays and Provocations

British Banks, Banknote Issuance, and Monetary Policy in China, 1842–1937

Henry Fairlie • Edited by Jeremy McCarter Henry Fairlie was one of the most colourful and trenchant journalists of the 20th century. The British-born writer made his name on Fleet Street, where he coined the term ‘The Establishment’, sparred in print with the likes of Kenneth Tynan and caroused with Kingsley Amis, among many others.

In America his writing found a home in the pages of the New Yorker and other leading magazines and newspapers. When he died, he was remembered as ‘quite simply the best political journalist, writing in English, in the last fifty years’.

Remarkable for their prescience and relevance, Fairlie’s essays celebrate Winston Churchill, old-fashioned bathtubs and American empire; they ridicule Republicans who think they are conservatives and yuppies who want to live forever. Fairlie is caustic, controversial and unwavering—especially when attacking his employers. With an introduction by Jeremy McCarter, Bite the Hand That Feeds You restores a compelling voice that, among its many virtues, helps Americans appreciate their country anew.

Born in England, Henry Fairlie (1924–1990) was a contributor to newspapers and magazines including the Washington Post and the New Republic. He was the author of The Seven Deadly Sins Today and other acclaimed books on politics and culture. Jeremy McCarter is a senior writer at Newsweek.

Niv Horesh As China emerges as a global powerhouse, this timely book examines its economic past and the shaping of its financial institutions. The first comparative study of foreign banking in prewar China, the book surveys the impact of British overseas bank notes on China’s economy before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Focusing on the two leading British banks in the region, it assesses the favourable and unfavourable effects of the British presence in China, with particular emphasis on Shanghai, and traces instructive links between the changing political climate and banknote circulation volumes.

Drawing on recently declassified archival materials, Niv Horesh revises previous assumptions about China’s prewar economy, including the extent of foreign banknote circulation and the economic significance of the May Thirtieth Movement of 1925.

In Confidence When To Protect Secrecy and When To Require Disclosure Ronald Goldfarb The variety and pervasiveness of confidentiality issues today is breathtaking. Not a day passes without a media report on a breach of confidentiality, a claim of attorney-client privilege, a journalist jailed for refusing to reveal a source, a medical or hospital record improperly disclosed or a major business deal exposed by anonymous sources. In Confidence examines confidential issues that arise in various disciplines and relationships and considers which should be protected and which should not.

Ronald Goldfarb organises the book around professionals for whom confidentiality is an issue of weighty importance: government officials, attorneys, medical personnel, psychotherapists, clergy, businessmen and journalists. In a chapter devoted to each, and in another on spousal privilege, he lays out specific issues and the law’s positions on them. He discusses an array of court cases in which confidentiality issues played an important role and decisions were often surprising and controversial. Goldfarb also looks into the criteria that should be used when determining whether secrets must be revealed. His nuanced analysis reveals how federal government practices and technological capabilities increasingly challenge the boundaries of privacy, and his thoughtful insights open the door to meaningful new debate.

Ronald Goldfarb is an attorney and author of ten books.

Pacific Alliance

A Smart Energy Policy

Reviving U.S.–Japan Relations

An Economist’s Rx for Balancing Cheap, Clean, and Secure Energy

Kent E. Calder Despite the enduring importance of the U.S.–Japan security alliance, the broader relationship between the two countries is today beset by sobering new difficulties. In this comprehensive comparative analysis of the transpacific alliance and its political, economic and social foundations, Kent Calder, a leading Japan specialist, asserts that bilateral relations between the two countries are dangerously eroding as both seek broader options in a globally oriented world.

Calder documents the quiet erosion of America’s multidimensional ties with Japan as China rises, generations change and new forces arise in both American and Japanese politics. He then assesses consequences for a 21st-century military alliance with formidable coordination requirements, explores alternative foreign paradigms for dealing with the United States, adopted

by Britain, Germany and China, and offers prescriptions for restoring U.S.–Japan relations to vitality once again.

Kent E. Calder is director of the Reischauer Center for East Asian Studies at SAIS, Johns Hopkins University, Washington, D.C. He has served as special advisor to the U.S. Ambassador to Japan and Japan Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). He has also taught and initiated U.S.–Japan research programmes at Princeton and Harvard Universities.

James M. Griffin While everyone wants energy that is clean, cheap and secure, these goals often conflict: traditional fossil fuels tend to be cheaper than alternative fuels, but they are hardly clean or (in the case of oil) secure. This timely book provides an easyto-understand explanation of the issues as well as sensible proposals for a truly sustainable energy policy.

Economist James Griffin points out that current energy policies are fatally flawed and that government policies should focus on ‘getting the prices right’ so that the prices of fossil fuels reflect their true costs to society—including greenhouse gas and security costs. By using carbon and security taxes, alternative energy forms will be able to compete on a more even playing field against fossil fuels. This will unleash advances in alternative energy and conservation technologies, enabling the marketplace and consumers to find the right balance among energy sources that are cheap, clean and secure.

Paul A. Rahe In 1989, the Cold War ended and it seemed as if the world was at last safe for democracy. But a spirit of uneasiness and soon arose and has persisted in Europe, America and elsewhere for two decades.

Paul A. Rahe investigates the nature of liberal democracy and undertakes to do so through a detailed investigation of the thinking of Montesquieu, Rousseau and Tocqueville. Rahe argues that these thinkers anticipated the modern liberal republic’s propensity to drift in the direction of ‘soft despotism’, a condition that arises within a democracy when paternalistic state power expands and gradually undermines the spirit of selfgovernment.

Paul A. Rahe is professor of history and political science at Hillsdale College.

What You Don’t Know About Orange Juice

Peter Goodwin Heltzel Foreword by Mark Noll

Alissa Hamilton

This timely book investigates the increasing visibility and influence of evangelical Christians in recent American politics with a focus on racial justice. Peter Goodwin Heltzel considers four evangelical social movements: Focus on the Family, the National Association of Evangelicals, Christian Community Development Association and Sojourners. A fresh theological understanding of evangelical political groups, this book shines new light on the ways evangelicals shape and are shaped by broader American culture.

In this enlightening book, Alissa Hamilton explores the hidden history of orange juice. She looks at the early forces that propelled orange juice to prominence, including a surplus of oranges that plagued Florida during most of the 20th century and the army’s need to provide vitamin C to troops overseas during World War II. Of particular interest is the revelation that most orange juice comes from Brazil, not Florida, and that even ‘not from concentrate’ orange juice is heated, stripped of flavour, stored for up to a year, and then reflavoured before it is packaged and sold.

Peter Goodwin Heltzel is assistant professor of theology, New York Theological Seminary, and an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

Alissa Hamilton is a Woodcock Foundation Food and Society Policy Fellow.

U.S. Agricultural Policy in the World Economy

Philip Martin

This book deals with a timely issue: the political and economic forces that have shaped agricultural policies in the U.S. during the past eighty years. It explores the complex interactions of class, market and state, as they have affected the formulation and application of agricultural policy decisions since the New Deal, showing how divisions and coalitions within Southern, Corn Belt and Wheat Belt agriculture were central to the ebb and flow of price supports and production controls. In addition, the book highlights the roles played by the world economy, civil rights movement and existing national policy to provide an invaluable analysis of past and recent trends.

American agriculture employs some 2.5 million workers during a typical year, most for fewer than six months. Three fourths of these farm workers are immigrants, half are unauthorised and most will leave seasonal farm work within a decade. What do these statistics mean for farmers, for labourers, for rural America? Philip Martin finds that the business-labour model that has evolved in rural America is neither desirable nor sustainable. He proposes regularising U.S. farm workers and rationalising the farm labour market, an approach that will help American farmers stay globally competitive while also improving conditions for farm workers.

Philip Martin is professor of agricultural and resource economics, University of California, Davis.

Law and the Contradictions of the Disability Rights Movement

‘Liberty to the Downtrodden’

Samuel R. Bagenstos

Matthew J. Grow

The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 was hailed as revolutionary legislation, but in the ensuing years restrictive American Supreme Court decisions have prompted accusations that the Court has betrayed the disability rights movement. The ADA can lay claim to notable successes, yet people with disabilities continue to be unemployed at extremely high rates. In this timely book, Samuel Bagenstos examines the history of the movement and discusses the various, often-conflicting projects of diverse participants.

Thomas L. Kane (1822–1883), a crusader for antislavery, women’s rights and the downtrodden, rose to prominence in his day as the most ardent defender of Mormons’ religious liberty.

Though not a Mormon, Kane sought to defend the group from the ‘Holy War’ waged against them by evangelical America. His personal intervention averted a potentially catastrophic bloody conflict between federal troops and Mormon settlers in the now nearly forgotten Utah War of 1857–58.

The Conservatives Ideas and Personalities Throughout American History Patrick Allitt

What really happened in the early days of the American nation? How was it possible for white settlers to march across the entire continent, inexorably claiming Native American lands for themselves? Who made it happen, and why?

This gripping book tells America’s story from a new perspective.

This book traces the development of American conservatism from Alexander Hamilton and Daniel Webster to William F. Buckley, Jr. and Irving Kristol. Conservatism has assumed a variety of forms, historian Patrick Allitt argues, because it has been chiefly reactive, responding to perceived challenges at different moments in the nation’s history.

How to be an Effective Partner in a Loved One’s Care

Although most American scholars desire to protect academic freedom, they have only a vague and uncertain apprehension of its basic principles and structure. This book offers a concise explanation of the history and meaning of American academic freedom and it attempts to intervene in contemporary debates by clarifying the fundamental functions and purposes of academic freedom in America.

The Arab Center

1948

The Promise of Moderation

A History of the First Arab-Israeli War

Marwan Muasher

Benny Morris

An Arab diplomat’s inside perspective on the Arab-Israeli conflict and what must be done to resolve the continuing crisis in the Middle East.

This account of the 1948 ArabIsraeli war is accurate, objective and told with drama and flair.

Morris demolishes misconceptions and brings to light the political and military facts of the war that led to the birth of the state of Israel and the shattering of Palestinian Arab society.

“One of [The Arab Center’s] important contributions . . . is to question the meaning of an Arab ‘moderate’ and the selective application of moderation to a single issue—the pursuit of a two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict . . .

If the ‘Arab Center’ wants to keep power, [Muasher] rightly concludes, ‘it must also share it’.”—Roula Khalaf, Financial Times “this painstakingly fair-minded and sensible memoir . . . tries to show why there is still no solution to the PalestinianIsraeli imbroglio . . . The next American president would do well to peruse Mr. Muasher’s offering.”—The Economist Marwan Muasher has held many high-level positions within the government of Jordan, including deputy prime minister, foreign minister, ambassador to the United States and first Jordanian ambassador to Israel.

A World History of Genocide and Extermination from Sparta to Darfur

Stanley G. Payne Was Franco sympathetic to Nazi Germany? Why didn’t Spain enter World War II? In what ways did Spain collaborate with the Third Reich? How much did Spain assist Jewish refugees? This is the first book in any language to answer these intriguing questions.

“Stanley Payne’s synthesis is a useful exposition of Franco’s Axis flirtation.”—Paul Preston, The Literary Review “Stanley Payne has written an excellent study of the relations between Franco and his regime and the Germans during the years of the civil and world wars . . . a fascinating book.”

Ben Kiernan Ben Kiernan has been deeply involved in the study of genocide and crimes against humanity and has played a key role in unearthing documentation of the atrocities committed by the Khmer Rouge. His writings have transformed our understanding not only of 20th-century Cambodia but also of the historical phenomenon of genocide.

This book is among his most important achievements.

“This grim account of history notes remarkable parallels in the patterns of mass slaughter, from Carthage to Darfur.

With references to the genocides sanctioned by the Bible, it’s ghastly reading . . . Today, we’re still far too passive about stopping genocide, but even those leaders who engage in it tend to be embarrassed, rather than boastful.”

Confucius

Out of the East

A Life of Thought and Politics

Spices and the Medieval Imagination

Annping Chin

Paul Freedman

For more than two thousand years, Confucius has been a fundamental part of China’s history. Yet despite this fame, Confucius the man has been elusive, and what could be called a definitive biography does not exist. In this book, the scholar and writer Annping Chin has negotiated the reconstructions, guesswork and numerous Chinese texts in order to establish an absorbing and original account of the thinker’s life and legacy. It shows how Confucius lived and thought, along with his habits and inclinations, his relation to his contemporaries, his work as a teacher and as a counsellor, his worries about the world and the generations to come.

“The teachings of Confucius have survived through periods of political upheaval and brutal suppression for some 2500 years.

Gleaned from her years of study of fragments of ancient texts, Dr. Chin has sketched a highly readable and thought provoking portrait of the life and times of Confucius.”—Henry A. Kissinger Annping Chin received her PhD in Chinese Thought from Columbia University and now teaches in the history department at Yale. She is the author of four previous books.

This book explores the demand for spices: why were they so popular and why so expensive?

Paul Freedman surveys the history, geography, economics and culinary tastes of the Middle Ages to uncover the varied ways that spices were put to use—in elaborate medieval cuisine, in the treatment of disease, for the promotion of wellbeing and to perfume important ceremonies of the Church. “[Freeman] wears his scholarship lightly, and has written an account of the impact of spices on the history, geography, economics, health and eating habits of medieval Europe that is as entertaining as it is informative.”

Wall Street

The Hamburger

America’s Dream Palace

A History

Steve Fraser

A lively and entertaining history of the hamburger and why it is no mere sandwich in America, but an icon. Josh Ozersky uncovers an array of facts and stories about the hamburger’s evolution and chronicles how the burger has reflected—and even shaped— American business and culture.

Josh Ozersky

The author of Every Man a Speculator presents a colourful history of America’s love-hate relationship with Wall Street, from the first panic of 1792 to the days of dot.coms and Enron.

Framing this fascinating analysis around the roles of four iconic Wall Street types—the aristocrat, the confidence man, the hero and the immoralist—Steve Fraser yields surprising insights about how the nation has wrestled, and still wrestles, with fundamental questions of wealth and work, democracy and elitism, greed and salvation.

“his entertaining and informative book, which traces the burger’s evolution from working man’s snack during the Depression to symbol of American corporatism, is nothing less than a brief history of America in the 20th century.”

—The Economist

“in his intriguing new book, Steve Fraser describes the compelling and often contradictory hold of Wall Street on America’s imagination.”—Philip Delves Broughton, The First Post

“[a] quirky history of the burger . . . Ozersky has a hyperbolic style, which helps his book zip along like a welloiled drive-thru . . . There is plenty to relish in Ozersky’s monograph”—Bee Wilson, The Sunday Times

“The history of American attitudes toward the financiers of Wall Street, as shown in newspapers, novels and prosecutions, is the subject of Fraser’s book. It’s a remarkable tale.”

—Floyd Norris, New York Times Book Review

Josh Ozersky is Food Editor/Online for New York Magazine.

But today’s environmental reality is linked powerfully with other realities, including growing social inequality and neglect and the erosion of democratic governance and popular control . . . As citizens we must now mobilize our spiritual and political resources for transformative change on all three fronts.”

Network Power The Social Dynamics of Globalization David Singh Grewal David Singh Grewal’s remarkable and ambitious book draws on several centuries of political and social thought to show how globalisation is best understood in terms of a power inherent in social relations, which he calls network power. Using this framework, he demonstrates how our standards of social coordination both gain in value the more they are used and undermine the viability of alternative forms of cooperation.

A wide range of examples are discussed, from the spread of English and the gold standard to the success of Microsoft and the operation of the World Trade Organisation, to illustrate how global standards arise and falter. “brilliant and subtle . . . the book’s concepts are presented with such extreme theoretical clarity that all readers, even those who do not share Grewal’s commitment to trammelling global capital, will be able to deploy his insights to other ends.”—Christopher Caldwell, Financial Times

The Aeneid

White Guard

Vergil Translated by Sarah Ruden

Mikhail Bulgakov Translated by Marian Schwartz With an Introduction by Evgeny Dobrenko

This extraordinary new translation of the Aeneid stands alone among modern Vergil translations for its accuracy and poetic appeal. Sarah Ruden, a lyric poet in her own right, is the first woman to translate Vergil’s great epic, and she renders the poem in the same number of lines as the original work—a very rare feat that maintains technical fidelity to the original without diminishing its emotional power.

“Fast, clean, and clear, sometimes terribly clever, and often strikingly beautiful . . . Ruden has found ingenious solutions to echo some of Vergil’s great sound effects—solutions I’ve not seen in other translations, prose or verse . . . Many human achievements deserve our praise, and this excellent translation is certainly one of them.”—Richard Garner, The New Criterion

In this volume Marian Schwartz offers the first complete and accurate translation of the definitive original text of Bulgakov’s novel. She includes the famous dream sequence, omitted in previous translations, and addresses the stylistic issues raised by Bulgakov’s ornamental prose. Readers with an interest in Russian literature, culture or history will welcome this superb translation of Bulgakov’s important early work.

“Marina Schwartz’s swift and thrilling new translation reads wonderfully well.”—Boyd Tonkin, The Independent

Sarah Ruden’s previous translations include Aristophanes’ Lysistrata and Petronius’s Satyricon. She is a visiting scholar at Yale Divinity School.

Mikhail Bulgakov (1891–1940) was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and lived most of his adult life in Stalinist Russia. A journalist, playwright, novelist and short story writer, he is best known in the West for his novel The Master and Margarita.

Marian Schwartz is a prize-winning translator of Russian.

Why Arendt Matters

Why Poetry Matters

Elisabeth Young-Bruehl

Jay Parini

In this book—now available in paperback—Hannah Arendt’s prizewinning biographer provides a concise and fascinating guide to the core of the great political philosopher’s work. Elisabeth Young-Bruehl shows how the ideas Arendt developed in the wake of the Second World War are deeply connected to the contemporary world, through consideration of crucial topics such as totalitarianism, terrorism, globalization, war and ‘radical evil’.

Jay Parini knows that poetry doesn’t matter to most people.

But he also recognises this as a serious problem, one which he tackles in this focused and passionate book—now available in paperback—about the nature of poetry and its uses in the world. A primer for the general reader, students, novices and experts alike, this is a candid and personal plea for the relevance of an art form that lies at the centre of Western culture—an art form we need now more than ever.

“Young-Bruehl repeatedly and successfully unpacks Arendt’s views of such concepts as action, power, forgiveness, judgment, radical evil, revolution, and the human condition itself.”—Carlin Romano, Chronicle of Higher Education

“It is obvious that Parini has a great love of poetry and regrets that more people do not share it.”—William Palmer, The Independent

Elisabeth Young-Bruehl is a faculty member at the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and a practicing psychoanalyst. She received her Ph.D. in philosophy under Hannah Arendt’s supervision at the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research.

“Jay Parini’s book is a pleasant, sympathetic book . . . by way of a primer for the uninitiated . . . designed to invite the uncertain to come closer.”—Harry Clifton, The Irish Times Jay Parini is a writer and academic. He is known for novels and poetry, biography and criticism.

Spiritual Radical Abraham Joshua Heschel in America, 1940–1972

The Spirit of the Age Victorian Essays

Edward K. Kaplan

Edited by Gertrude Himmelfarb

The first full account of the life of one of America’s greatest religious thinkers during World War II and in the decades afterwards.

A wide-ranging collection of Victorian writings by John Stuart Mill, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde and other leading lights of the era.

“This religiously contentious world needs the noble witness of Abraham Joshua Heschel more than ever. Edward K. Kaplan’s lucid and compelling account of Heschel’s life in America is an urgently important book.”—James Carroll, author of House of War

“Himmelfarb has been writing important books on Victorian life and mores for over fifty years . . . Her latest offering is an anthology of nonfictional readings from the period . . . The collection illustrates Himmelfarb’s view that the spirit of the Victorian age defined itself as much in its books and ideas as in political battles and societal strife.”—Alexandra Mullen, New Criterion

Writing Successful Science Proposals, Second Edition

History Lesson

Andrew J. Friedland and Carol L. Folt

Mary Lefkowitz

This fully revised edition of the most authoritative guide to science proposal writing is essential for any scientist embarking on a thesis or grant application. Completely updated and with entirely new chapters on private foundation funding and interdisciplinary research, the book explains each step of the proposal process in detail.

This book tells the disturbing story of what happened when she spoke out.

Friedland is professor in the environmental studies programme at Dartmouth College. Carol L. Folt is dean of the faculty and professor in the department of biological sciences at Dartmouth College.
