Albion - Peter Ackroyd
- History: Specific
Subjects
£13.59
Highly original & magnificent in scope, Ackroyd's latest work discovers the roots of English cultural history in the Anglo-Saxon period, & traces it through the centuries. What does it mean to be English? This dazzling book demonstrates that a quintessentially English quality can be discovered in all forms of English culture, not only in literature but also in painting, music, architecture, philosophy & science. Just as " London: The Biography" guided the reader through the capital city with a mixture of narrative & theme, so " Albion", employing the same techniques, engages the reader with stories & surprises
- from Beowulf to King Arthur & the Knights of the Round Table, via Chaucer & Shakespeare, to the Bronte sisters, ' Alice through the Looking Glass' & ' Lord of the Rings'. " Albion" moves from medieval mystery plays to music hall & pantomime; painting is here, with Hogarth & Turner; & music, with Purcell & Vaughan Williams. Even the English obsession with gardening is represented. Witty, provocative & anecdotal, this is Peter Ackroyd at his most brilliant & exuberant.

Albion's Glorious
Ile: Middlesex To
Huntingdonshire
£5.69
These beautifully-produced colouring books present over four volumes, thirty county maps of England & Wales. The maps were produced in the early 17th century by the cartographic engraver William Hole to accompany the vast landscape poem Poly-Olbion by Michael Drayton, one of the most famous poets of his age. Arguably the strangest maps of Britain ever designed, they depict the familiar rolling countryside as a playful fairyl&, bustling with otherworldly beings. Every topographical feature is anthropomorphised, a form of depiction known asprosopopeia: hills are represented as stout country gentlemen, rivers as water nymphs, forests as elegant huntresses. The poetry & maps of Poly-Olbion came out of the Renaissance vogue for chorography, the art of describing place, & together they provide one of the most detailed overviews of the rich landscape, history, & legends of Early Modern England & Wales. This is a colouring book to keep & treasure as a complex, endlessly rewarding work of art. ...

Albrecht Durer
£28.00
Albrecht Durer's prints & drawings have inspired hundreds of artists, both during his life & after his death. Yet his talent as a painter & colorist, & his enthusiasm for the scientific world have not been widely appreciated. Durer's influence was both international & intergenerational-indeed Picasso claimed to have been inspired by the 16th-century artist. Reproduced in stunning detail & including illustrations of Durer's most famous prints & drawings, a catalog raisonne of his paintings, & biographical research, this book presents a Durer for the 21st century. Producing more self-portraits than any other artist of his day; mass marketing his best-selling prints; even inventing his own monogram logo; Albrecht Du rer was commercially astute long before today's generation of self-promoting & financially-savvy artists. There are 55 extant Durer paintings, of which 17 are in dispute. Using scientific research, this book puts all arguments to bed resulting in the definitive catalog raisonne of the paintings. Drawing on in-depth research, this book reveals the truth behind Durer & his art. ...

Alcala Zamora And The
Failure Of The Spanish
Republic, 19311936
£25.00
The Second Spanish Republic (193136) was the only new liberal democratic regime to emerge in Europe during the 1930s. Historians, however, have focused primarily on the Civil War of 193639 that followed, devoting much less attention to the parliamentary regime that preceded it. This book deals with the history & failure of the democratic polity in Spain through a detailed examination of the initiatives of its president, Niceto Alcala Zamora. As civil servant, lawyer, politician & writer, by 1931 he had become one of the most successful men of Spain. He played the leading role in the downfall of the monarchy & the inauguration of the Republic, which he served for eight months as initial prime minister & then as the first president. Stanley Paynes study argues that the failure of the Republic was not inevitable but depended on the policy choices of its president & the key party leaders. Alcala Zamoras professed goal was to center the Republic, stabilizing the new regime while avoiding extremes, but he failed altogether in this project. The Constitution of 1931 stipulated the double responsibility of parliamentary government both to the president & to a voting majority. Though Alcala Zamora resisted strong efforts from the left to cancel the results of the first fully democratic elections in 1933, he subsequently used his powers recklessly, making & unmaking governments at will, refusing to permit normal functioning of parliament. This first critical scholarly account of the presidency of Alcala Zamora casts new light on the failure of democracy in interwar Europe & on the origins of the Spanish Civil War. ...
