Pan Macmillan Mozarts Women
Book SynopsisIn Jane Glover's long and hugely successful career as a conductor, she has been Music Director of the Glyndebourne Touring Opera, Artistic Director of The London Mozart Players, and has conducted all the major symphony and chamber orchestras in Britain. She appears regularly at the BBC Proms and is a regular broadcaster, with highlights including a television series on Mozart. She lives in London.Trade Review'unusual and original…readable, informative and moving…Glover uses her own experience as a conductor of Mozart's operas to give lucid and pertinent insights into the music…Glover's final chapter 'After Mozart' is the most rewarding and poignant in the book…Constanze emerges as a devoted wife, mother and lifelong promoter of Mozart. Glover neatly and satisfyingly ties up the loose ends in the story of the genius whose most astonishing musical miracles were achieved in his all-too-brief adulthood. Her passion for the music shines through this touching, vividly told story' Hugh Canning, Sunday Times 'Jane Glover has pulled off a coup des livres with her fresh take on Mozart's life and work. Glover's approach to her subject, through the women who played such a major role in Mozart's life, seems so obvious that it is a wonder nobody thought of it before…a compelling read that wears its scholarship lightly…Many conductors are good at talking about music, yet Glover belongs to that select band of conductor-scholars who have practical experience of the music they are writing about. As such, she offers insights into Mozart's work that ought to be required reading for practitioners and will equally enlighten the most casual listener' John Allison, Sunday Telegraph

She worked as a publisher and journalist before beginning research on her biography of Anthony Blunt in 1994. She lives in London with her husband and two sons.

In the US it was chosen by the New York Times Book Review as one of the seven best books of 2002.Trade ReviewAstonishingly good * Daily Telegraph *Highly impressive... sensitive and compelling... Miranda Carter has written a richly informative biography which, in the end, does not fall into the trap of tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner - not only because she is not seeking to pardon him, but also because there is something here that is still quite impossible to comprehend * Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph *A compelling biography... Miranda Carter's skill at scouring the different compartments of Blunt's life is deeply impressive * Julian Barnes, New Yorker *

Peeters Publishers Phonetique Et Morphologie De La Langue Lydienne
Book SynopsisLe lydien est une langue indo-europeenne appartenant au groupe anatolien, a l'instar du hittite, du louvite, du palaite, du lycien ou du carien. Il fait partie des langues a faible attestation: il n'en existe qu'une centaine d'inscriptions, dont certaines fort degradees, et qui sont datees des VIIIe-IIe s. av. J.-C. Ces conditions de conservation expliquent en grande partie les nombreux points de discussion qui subsistent dans les etudes lydiennes. Dans tous les cas contestes, ce livre presentera systematiquement les diverses theories en presence et proposera dans certains cas des reponses originales. Apres une description du materiel linguistique a la disposition des chercheurs, le premier domaine aborde sera la phonetique. Le vocalisme et le consonantisme feront l'objet d'une etude detaillee, comportant le releve systematique des phonemes et la reconstitution de l'histoire de ces phonemes du proto-indo-europeen au lydien en passant par l'anatolien commun. La seconde section sera consacree a la morphologie, avec l'analyse de la flexion et de la formation des noms, des pronoms et des verbes. A travers cette contribution a l'etude de la grammaire lydienne, l'auteur entend illustrer les multiples difficultes que recele encore cette langue: la poursuite de l'examen minutieux des textes, la confrontation avec les autres langues anatoliennes et la decouverte de nouvelles inscriptions permettront sans doute aux chercheurs d'affiner leur connaissance de ce corpus obscur a plus d'un titre.

Nightboat Books Mausoleum of Lovers
Book SynopsisThe Mausoleum of Lovers comprises Guibert's journals, kept from 1976-1991. Functioning as an atelier, it forecasts the writing of a novel, which does not materialize as such; the journal itself - a mausoleum of lovers - comes to take its place. The sensual exigencies and untempered forms of address in this epistolary work, often compared to Barthes' A Lover's Discourse, use the letter and the photograph in a work that hovers between forms, in anticipation of its own disintegration.

University of Illinois Press The Short Fiction of Edgar Allan Poe
Trade Review"Provides translations of foreign phrases, explanations of obscure references, notes on critical controversies, sources and interpretations. It does groundwork for students and teachers alike. With no other American author (T. S. Eliot excepted) is there such a need for annotation as in the case of Poe; without it, the tales simply refuse to ‘come alive.' I would say without hesitation that the Levines' Poe edition is the text of choice for courses in Poe."--William Goldhurst, author of Poe's Multiple King Pest: A Source Study"The Levines' edition of Poe's fiction is the most thoroughly and responsibly annotated of all the editions of Poe's work. It should be in all libraries and in any classroom where Poe's fiction is taught."--John Henry Raleigh, author of The Chronicle of Leopold and Molly Bloom: "Ulysses" as Narrative"This book has proved for me the best edition of Poe's short fiction for classroom use. Its best feature, among many good ones, is its ample annotations. Those annotations, indispensable for such an allusive author as Poe, illuminate the text at every turn. I heartily recommend it to teachers and students alike."--Sidney P. Moss, author of Poe's Literary Battles: The Critic in the Context of His Milieu

Cambridge University Press A Linguistic Geography of Africa
Book SynopsisResearch on African languages has been preoccupied with understanding similarities across the four distinct language families. This book discusses whether structural similarities and dissimilarities among African languages are the result of contact between these languages, and demonstrates that such similarities are more common than is widely believed.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '… it is a data-driven volume written by experienced Africanists with expertise spanning the continent. … the volume as a whole has the potential to encourage linguists working with apparent genetic units in Africa to consider how areal features contribute to our conceptualisation of 'relatedness' and to re-assess the importance of genetic units in accounting for similarities across languages within a particular geographical area where contact is attested or historically likely.'
