Cambridge University Press Pontormo and the Art of Devotion in Renaissance
Book SynopsisBoth lauded and criticized for his pictorial eclecticism, the Florentine artist Jacopo Carrucci, known as Pontormo, created some of the most visually striking religious images of the Renaissance. These paintings, which challenged prevailing illusionistic conventions, mark a unique contribution into the complex relationship between artistic innovation and Christian traditions in the first half of the sixteenth century. Pontormo''s sacred works are generally interpreted as objects that reflect either pure aesthetic experimentation, or personal and cultural anxiety. Jessica Maratsos, however, argues that Pontormo employed stylistic change deliberately for novel devotional purposes. As a painter, he was interested in the various modes of expression and communication - direct address, tactile evocation, affective incitement - as deployed in a wide spectrum of devotional culture,fromsacri monti,to Michelangelo''s marble sculptures,to evangelical lectures delivered at the Accademia FiorentinaTable of ContentsIntroduction: Drawing devotion, imitating nature in Cinquecento Florence; 1. Performing the Passion at the Certosa del Galluzo; 2. Pictorial theology and the Paragone in the Capponi Chapel; 3. Elusive rhetoric at San Lorenzo; 4. A Pontormo legacy in Florence?

Cambridge University Press Englands Second Reformation
Book SynopsisThis compelling new history situates the religious upheavals of the civil war years within the broader history of the Church of England and demonstrates how, rather than a destructive aberration, this period is integral to (and indeed the climax of) England's post-Reformation history.Trade Review'Anthony Milton's magnum opus sets out a powerful reinterpretation of the politics of religion in seventeenth-century England. Instead of seeing Anglican conservatives pitted against Puritan revolutionaries, Milton depicts an era of Second Reformation, a contest between rival Reformers of the Church of England. A magisterial book.' John Coffey, University of Leicester'Remarkable for the breadth of its scholarship and depth of its analysis, the very best thing about Anthony Milton's magnum opus is the clarity of its exegesis and of its reimagining of the mid seventeenth century as a struggle for the re-formation of the Church of England by its engagement with contested pasts and challenging presents. This is intellectual, cultural and religious history of the highest order.' John Morrill, University of Cambridge'Anthony Milton is to be congratulated on this substantial work which reassesses the religious upheavals of England in the mid-seventeenth century.' Martin Cowper, Congregational History Society Magazine'… in this deeply scholarly book, Milton provides a significant re-framing of our own 'origin myths' and places the violent events of the mid-17th century as much, if not more, at the centre of a historical understanding of the nature of the Church of England as those of the mid-16th century ... The case for the scholarly importance of England's Second Reformation is without doubt …' Judith Maltby, Church Times'… This is a nuanced and subtly textured book … it is a deeply rewarding read that will challenge both new students and longtime scholars of the period to reimagine their past approaches.'

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Believing in Film
Book SynopsisMark Le Fanu is a well-known writer on film who has contributed regular pieces and columns to Sight and Sound, Positif and the East-West Review. A former Lecturer in English at the University of Cambridge, he was from 1993-2008 Director of Studies in Film History at the European Film College in Ebeltoft, Denmark. He is the author of The Cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky (1987) and Mizoguchi and Japan (2005), which was shortlisted in its year of publication for the Kraszna-Krausz Book Award.Trade ReviewStyle is one of the remarkable aspects of Dr Le Fanu’s book. It is beautifully free from useless technicalities and the clotted syntax that afflicts many academic writers … [he has] an ability to convey the thrust of a film that the reader might not have seen, and an openness to directors’ ideas that might be uncongenial to the author ... gripping. * The Telegraph *In this superb cultural history, Mark Le Fanu considers the religious impulse that distinguishes so much European cinema in its golden age from the second world war up to the 1980s … Le Fanu’s wonderful survey, with its aphoristic grace and erudition lightly worn, is from start to finish a delight to read. * The Spectator *[There is] much of fascination here for a general reader … [This book] has not only stimulated and educated, but led to my seeking out copies of four films that Le Fanu makes seem especially fascinating: Bergman’s Winter Light, Buñuel’s Simon of the Desert, Zanussi’s Spirala and Dreyer’s Day of Wrath. These purchases prove this deeply-felt treatise also to be a work of evangelism. * The Tablet *Clearly and thoughtfully written, with thankfully no film studies jargon, this book is one to be truly grateful for. * Catholic Herald *The substance of Believing in Film is an auteurist, country-by-country survey of the place of the Christian religion among the output of European directors during the golden age of art cinema from the time of World War II up to the end of the 1980s. The author’s criterion for inclusion is not that a film should exhibit, or that a director should possess, faith, but only that the film should evidence a sympathy for Christianity, even when criticising its pretensions. One of the pleasures of tourism for the thinking traveller is the appreciation of different European countries’ attitudes to what remains of their religion, and that pleasure is replicated and enhanced in this book by the author’s understated and sensitive discussion of favourite films, based on a life-time of critical discernment. For Le Fanu is one of those nuanced and thoughtful people who, while rejecting extremes, is not embarrassed to confess that he remains open to the ‘still-living truths of Christianity’. * Standpoint Magazine *Are we all still Christian? Or at least unwilling to stop framing the world in a Christian narrative? Mark Le Fanu’s compelling and courageous account of European cinema is an invitation to think of films in a different light, and to explore a marvellous repertoire of films everyone ought to know better. From Pavel Lungin’s The Island to Ermanno Olmi’s The Fiancés, Andrzej Wajda’s Ashes and Diamonds to Bunuel’s Nazarin, Le Fanu ably shows how saturated our Western imagination is in such notions as sin and sacrifice, predestination and redemption, how frequently, even in the work of atheists and agnostics, epiphanies, miracles and resurrections occur. Proceeding from one engaging account to another, Believing in Film is a timely reminder of the resilience and narrative fertility of our Christian tradition. * Tim Parks, novelist and Associate Professor of English, IULM University, Milan, Italy *Mark Le Fanu, who "endured a Catholic upbringing during the 1950s in the north of Scotland", has written a lucid and highly readable study of the role of religion – and specifically, the Christian religion – in classic European cinema. His thesis, unfashionable in certain quarters but cogently argued, that religion and culture are inseparable, takes in not only expected figures like Bresson and Tarkovsky, but also such avowed atheists as the Spanish director Luis Buñuel. Altogether this book offers many penetrating insights, such as will rivet the attention – and challenge the assumptions – of even the most irreligious reader. * Philip Kemp, film critic and Lecturer in the Department of Journalism, University of Leicester, UK *Table of ContentsGeneral Editor’s Introduction Introduction CHAPTER 1: Russia: Tarkovsky, Eisenstein and Christianity CHAPTER 2: Poland: A Trio of Catholics CHAPTER 3: France: The Apostasy of Robert Bresson CHAPTER 4: Italy: Christianity and Neo-Realism CHAPTER 5: Scandinavia: Lutheran Interludes CHAPTER 6: Spain: The Heresies of Don Luis CHAPTER 7: Russia Again: Millennial Faith and Nihilism Afterword Acknowledgements List of Illustrations Bibliography Index
