Frank Lloyd Wright : The Early Years : Progressivism : Aesthetics : Cities

Frank Lloyd Wright : The Early Years : Progressivism : Aesthetics : Cities

Frank Lloyd Wright : The Early Years : Progressivism : Aesthetics : Cities examines Wright's belief that all aspects of human life must embrace and celebrate an aesthetic experience that would thereby lead to necessary social reforms. Inherent in the theory was a belief that reform of nineteenth-century gluttony should include a contemporary interpretation of its material presence its bulk and space its architectural landscape. This book analyzes Wright's innovative profound theory of architecture that drew upon geometry and notions of pure design and the indigenous as put into practice. It outlines the design methodology that he applied to domestic and non-domestic buildings and presents reasons for the recognition of two Wright Styles and a Wright School. The book also studies how his design method was applied to city planning and implications of historical and theoretical contexts of the period that surely influenced all of Wright's community and city planning.

Edward Lloyd and His World Popular Fiction Politics and the Press in Victorian Britain

Edward Lloyd and His World Popular Fiction Politics and the Press in Victorian Britain

The publisher Edward Lloyd (1815-1890) helped shape Victorian popular culture in ways that have left a legacy that lasts right up to today. He was a major pioneer of both popular fiction and journalism but has never received extended scholarly investigation until now. Lloyd shaped the modern popular press: Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper became the first paper to sell over a million copies. Along with publishing songs and broadsides Lloyd dominated the fiction market in the early Victorian period issuing Gothic stories such as Varney the Vampire (1845-7) and other 'penny dreadfuls' which became bestsellers. Lloyd's publications introduced the enduring figure of Sweeney Todd whilst his authors penned plagiarisms of Dickens's novels such as Oliver Twiss (1838-9). Many readers in the early Victorian period may have been as likely to have encountered the author of Pickwick in a Lloyd-published plagiarism as in the pages of the original author. This book makes us rethink the early reception of Dickens. In this interdisciplinary collection leading scholars explore the world of Edward Lloyd and his stable of writers such as Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer. The Lloyd brand shaped popular taste in the age of Dickens and the Chartists. Edward Lloyd and his World fills a major gap in the histories of popular fiction and journalism whilst developing links with Victorian politics theatre and music. | Edward Lloyd and His World Popular Fiction Politics and the Press in Victorian Britain

Both writers struggled to reconcile new scientific understandings of geology botany and palaeontology supported by Darwin’s theory of evolution with their own creationist beliefs in genesis and flood theory. Both scientists as such began to develop their own theories of evolution that remained in line with creationist beliefs.

This volume of original sources will be of interest to academics of religion natural history and historians of the 19th century.

The Forgotten Appeasement of 1920 Lloyd George Lenin and Poland

The Forgotten Appeasement of 1920 Lloyd George Lenin and Poland

The Forgotten Appeasement of 1920 examines a turning point in East European history: the summer of 1920 when Lenin’s Soviet Russia decided to challenge the Versailles system and launch a military attack on the continent. The outcome of this attack might have been the occupation of all of Poland and East Central Europe and a Red Army sweep further west. This book probes the British–Soviet negotiations and diplomatic operations behind the scenes. Professor Nowak uses hitherto unexamined documents from Russian and British archives to show how (and why) top British politicians were ready to accept a new Russian imperial control over the whole of Eastern Europe. Nowak unravels this previously untold story of that first and forgotten appeasement stopped only by the Polish military victory over the Red Army. His excellent historical craftsmanship and new sources contribute to the book’s quality filling up a lacuna in contemporary historiography. This book will appeal to researchers of geopolitical affairs and the Great Powers the history of Poland and the political mentality of Western elites. It will also be of interest to university students and tutors scholars of history and international relations and – thanks to the book’s brisk and fascinating narrative – amateur historians and history aficionados. | The Forgotten Appeasement of 1920 Lloyd George Lenin and Poland

Collage in Twentieth-Century Art Literature and Culture Joseph Cornell William Burroughs Frank O’Hara and Bob Dylan

Collage in Twentieth-Century Art Literature and Culture Joseph Cornell William Burroughs Frank O’Hara and Bob Dylan

Emphasizing the diversity of twentieth-century collage practices Rona Cran's book explores the role that it played in the work of Joseph Cornell William Burroughs Frank O'Hara and Bob Dylan. For all four collage was an important creative catalyst employed cathartically aggressively and experimentally. Collage's catalytic effect Cran argues enabled each to overcome a potentially destabilizing crisis in representation. Cornell convinced that he was an artist and yet hampered by his inability to draw or paint used collage to gain access to the art world and to show what he was capable of given the right medium. Burroughs' formal problems with linear composition were turned to his advantage by collage which enabled him to move beyond narrative and chronological requirement. O'Hara used collage to navigate an effective path between plastic art and literature and to choose the facets of each which best suited his compositional style. Bob Dylan's self-conscious application of collage techniques elevated his brand of rock-and-roll to a level of heightened aestheticism. Throughout her book Cran shows that to delineate collage stringently as one thing or another is to severely limit our understanding of the work of the artists and writers who came to use it in non-traditional ways. | Collage in Twentieth-Century Art Literature and Culture Joseph Cornell William Burroughs Frank O’Hara and Bob Dylan

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

Architectural drawings and models are instruments of imagination communication and historical continuity.

Blake's Job Adventures in Becoming

Blake's Job Adventures in Becoming

In this unique book Jason Wright analyses William Blake’s Illustrations of the Book of Job and shows their relevance in clinical psychoanalysis and psychotherapy with groups and individuals especially while working with patients who have experienced trauma and addiction. Drawing on decades of work in the field this book sees Wright offer sensitive guidance to practitioners dealing with client experiences of change through the lens of addiction and offers useful insight to the lay reader. Throughout the chapters Wright studies each illustration in depth and shows how they chart the breakdown of Job’s life into a state of despair. Twinning a clinical vignette with each plate Wright shows how these depictions can be directly applied to issues faced in contemporary analysis therapy and addiction recovery. From Job’s dissolution to his eventual salvation Wright insightfully maps the process of change from a place of destitution to one of redemption and hope set in the context of the group. He expertly brings Blakean theory into the 21st century by looking at contemporary experience such as the impact of the 2005 London bombings as well as looking at the importance of community collective experience and self-identity when seeking recovery. Throughout Wright draws inspiration from eminent analysts such as Bion Winnicott and Hillman while also looking to Jung Bohm and Whitehead to support his theories on the new way of being he proposes: a collective dynamic shift from a consciousness of exploitation to a consciousness of resonance. This book will be of great interest to psychoanalysts psychotherapists and mental health professionals working in addiction recovery as well as those interested in the work of Blake and its continued importance in the present day. | Blake's Job Adventures in Becoming

Elemental Architecture Temperaments of Sustainability

Elemental Architecture Temperaments of Sustainability

Elemental Architecture presents a new and refreshing approach to sustainable architectural practice. Going beyond the standard performance-based and quantitative sustainable measures it incorporates a broader framework of considerations including the more poetic and noetic possibilities of environmental design. The book is structured around the ancient Greek and medieval alchemists’ system of the Five Temperaments: fire earth air water and ether. Phillip James Tabb examines how these elements produce both positive and negative environmental forces which have an impact on architectural design – from drinking water and fresh air to torrential floods and tornados. He shows how responding to or enhancing these forces can help us to create a more sustainable healthy and purposeful architecture. To illustrate this each chapter draws on seminal contemporary works of architecture from Peter Zumthor’s Bruder-Klaus Field Chapel to Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece at Fallingwater. These examples are accompanied by over a hundred high-quality illustrations. Expanding the discussion of sustainability to include phenomenological as well as qualitative considerations Elemental Architecture is ideal for students and researchers with an interest in sustainable architecture and architectural theory. | Elemental Architecture Temperaments of Sustainability

The Economic Consequences of the Peace

The Economic Consequences of the Peace

John Maynard Keynes then a rising young economist participated in the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 as chief representative of the British Treasury and advisor to Prime Minister David Lloyd George. He resigned after desperately trying and failing to reduce the huge demands for reparations being made on Germany. The Economic Consequences of the Peace is Keynes' brilliant and prophetic analysis of the effects that the peace treaty would have both on Germany and even more fatefully the world. A popular lecturer of economics at Cambridge University and editor of the Economic Journal Keynes made The Economic Consequences of the Peace a major step in his career. It was translated into a dozen languages and sold 100 000 copies in six months. Taken seriously even by those who were opposed to his claims the book helped lift economics to a new higher level of recognition and acceptance. This volume with its insightful portraits of Lloyd George Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson remains one of the great works of political economy of our time. In a penetrating introduction written for this new edition David Felix explores Keynes' reasons for writing the book analyzes the author's arguments and paints an historical backdrop of the period during which it was written.
