University of Toronto Press Experiencing Medieval Art
Book SynopsisAcross the nine thematic chapters of Experiencing Medieval Art, renowned art historian Herbert L. Kessler considers functional objects as well as paintings and sculptures; the circumstances, processes, and materials of production; the conflictual relationship between art objects and notions of an ineffable deity; the context surrounding medieval art; and questions of apprehension, aesthetics, and modern presentation. He also introduces the exciting discoveries and revelations that have revolutionized contemporary understanding of medieval art and identifies the vexing challenges that still remain. With 16 color plates and 81 images in allincluding the stained glass of Chartres Cathedral, the mosaics of San Marco, and the Utrecht Psalter, as well as newly discovered works such as the frescoes in Rome’s aula gotica and a twelfth-century aquamanile in HildesheimExperiencing Medieval Art makes the complex history of medieval art accessible for students Trade Review"Incorporating abundant multilingual publications, this engaging study will serve as an indispensable reference book and catalyst for further inquiry. The figures and plates were well chosen and elaborated on throughout the work. It is laudatory that Kessler made such an encompassing study flow so seamlessly and invitingly." -- Elizabeth Marie Sandoval, Williams College Museum of Art * Journal of British Studies *"Experiencing Medieval Art taught me a great deal about medieval art. Its comprehensive index provides a useful starting point for doing research into individual topics like The Last Supper or a medium like stained glass and many more. Individual chapters might easily be assigned in an undergraduate classroom, or the work as a whole would serve any medievalist’s library well. It is an excellent resource for faculty wanting to speak more effectively about medieval material in their own classrooms." -- Christina Francis, Bloomsburg University * Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Preface 1.

Indiana University Press Yiddish in Israel A History
Book Synopsis This book examines the development of Yiddish in the early state of Israel, charting its tensions with Hebrew culture and the culture of the Jewish Diaspora. The author is a senior scholar who works on Israeli history and culture. The book will find audiences in Israel studies, Jewish studies, Yiddish and Hebrew language studies. Trade ReviewThis is an important book for two reasons. First, it is a pioneering study on Yiddish in Israel, a topic that—for reasons that should be interrogated and explained—has not attracted much scholarly attention until recently. Second, the book is very well documented. It provides a wealth of information on Israeli Yiddish newspapers and journals, theater, academia, and other aspects of Yiddish and Israeli history. -- Shachar Pinsker - University of Michigan * AJS REVIEW *Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsA Note on Transliteration, Translation, and Archival SignaturesIntroduction1.

McGill-Queen's University Press The Clean Body A Modern History
Book SynopsisRecounting the history of personal hygiene in Europe and North America and the making of the modern clean body.Trade Review"As The Clean Body makes clear, the hygiene revolution was tied in with the rise of consumerism and its concomitant exploitation of natural resources — things that have contributed greatly to our current environmental tipping point." The Montreal Gazette"In The Clean Body: A Modern History [Ward] promises to tell the story of the 'cleanliness revolution,' offering cleanliness as a lens through which to view a society in transition, whether culturally, technologically, or scientifically." Our environmental woes too are the logical conclusion to a history of growing consumption, of things as well as resources. As Ward writes, "Once an element of nature, [water] had become a commodity, an engineered product of the industrial economy, ... its presence in everyday life taken utterly for granted."" Literary Review of Canada"The Clean Body is a beautifully written tour de force, a wonderfully accessible book, and a joy to read. Peter Ward draws extensively on the literature in four languages and moves with ease between rich empirical detail, theoretical soundings, and socioeconomic data." Brian Lewis, McGill University and co-editor of The Moral Mapping of Victorian and Edwardian London: Charles Booth, Christian Charity, and the Poor-but-Respectable"A thoughtful and thought-provoking discussion of practices that we would be mistaken to think of as natural or normal. Its study of centuries of hygiene is a prompt for us to reconsider our present-day pursuit of cleanliness." Winnipeg Free Press

The University of Chicago Press Radical as Reality Form and Freedom in American
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Against our contemporary mania for growth, Campion positions poetry's particular contribution to a human understanding of the last hundred years of history as a form of cunning motility. The last line of this book proclaims, "We'll know the sincere poem by the way it moves," and the essays within move deftly with the poems themselves, capturing both spirit and form. American poetry, in Campion's story, doesn't celebrate freedoms preserved but acknowledges reality changed. I remember some of these essays, when they first appeared in the best journals, as vitally acerbic and fiercely challenging. And they remain so--but the raw material of the necessary book that collects them, Radical as Reality, is revealed to be wonder rather than judgment. Here, poet-critic Campion celebrates the spaciousness and splendor of a found family of American poets, less fathered by the great men of Modernism and their heir, Robert Lowell, than fostered in their own diverse practices."--Katie Peterson, author of A Piece of Good News and editor of Robert Lowell's New Selected Poems "Peter Campion's Radical as Reality returns poetry reviewing to its central place in American literary culture. His muscular prose is addressed to the reader looking for the pulse of America as it beats in the passions and rhythms of our best poets."--Bonnie Costello, author of The Plural of Us: Poetry and Community in Auden and Others

University of Pennsylvania Press Jamaica in the Age of Revolution
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Trevor Burnard has done as much as if not more than any other historian to privilege the British Caribbean in this new history, demonstrating the enormous significance of these colonies in the histories of Great Britain and North America. For decades he has placed Jamaica at the centre of this narrative, and in some ways this book is the culmination of his efforts to persuade British and American historians of the significance of this one island . . . This is a masterful piece of work, and it should be read by all who are interested in Britain and its empire in the age of revolutions." * Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History *"Jamaica in the Age of Revolution enhances our understanding of a colony and region-Jamaica and the Caribbean-that remains vastly understudied despite its central place in the British Atlantic empire. Trevor Burnard's book demonstrates the value of looking at the American Revolution and other key events or legal cases of the era, such as the Somerset decision and the Zong trial, from the perspective of Jamaica." * Brooke Newman, Virginia Commonwealth University *"Trevor Burnard is always original, independent, and intellectually honest in his interpretations.

Book SynopsisPerspective has been a divided subject, orphaned among various disciplines from philosophy to gardening. In the first book to bring together recent thinking on perspective from such fields as art history, literary theory, aesthetics, psychology, and the history of mathematics, James Elkins leads us to a new understanding of how we talk about...Trade ReviewI have rarely read a book as illuminating as this.... With great tact and inventiveness, Elkins offers two basic correctives to what has been taken as the foundational procedure underlying Italian Renaissance painting and, by extension, Renaissance culture: (1) Perspective was referred to not in the singular but in the plural—not a perspective, but perspectives; and (2) it was not about drawing a unified pictorial space, but about drawing objects—not a way of unifying a picture, but an often playful fashioning of the objects in a picture. -- Svetlana Alpers * Key Reporter *

University of Toronto Press The First Voyage around the World 15191522
Book SynopsisOn 10 August 1519, five ships departed from Seville for what was to become the first circumnavigation of the globe. Linked by fame to the name of its captain, Magellan, much of the expedition is known through the travelogue of one of the few crew members who returned to Spain, Antonio Pigafetta. A narrative and cartographic record of the journey (including 23 hand-drawn watercolour charts) from Patagonia to Indonesia, from the Philippines to the Cape of Good Hope, Pigafetta''s The First Voyage around the World is a classic of discovery and exploration literature. This volume is based on the critical edition by Antonio Canova. It includes an extensive introduction to the work and generous annotations by Theodore J. Cachey Jr who discusses the marvelous elements of the story through allusions to Magellan''s travels made by writers as diverse as Shakespeare and Gabriel García Márquez. However, Cachey is careful to point out that Pigafetta''s book is far from just a marvTable of ContentsIntroduction Bio-bibliographical Note Note on the Text and Translation Chronology of the Voyage THE FIRST VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD Notes Bibliography Index

Tilbury House,U.S. The Lunch Thief A Story of Hunger Homelessness
Book SynopsisTrade Review"The boy in The Lunch Thief has a real problem. He is homeless and lunchless where others have plenty. This is a story of sharing and caring and Anne C. Bromley and illustrator Robert Casilla handle it with understanding and sympathy." -- Eve Bunting, author of Fly Away Home, December, and many other children’s books"Faced with a challenging situation when his lunch was stolen, Rafael listens to his instincts and follows his mother’s valuable advice that ‘fighting is for cowards’ and ‘use your mouth before your fists.’ The Lunch Thief, by Anne C. Bromley, is a moving and thoughtful real-life story of how Rafael chose not to respond impulsively, but took the time to think through his actions in order to resolve the problem in a nonjudgmental way. It’s a heartwarming book that helps children see the other side of every story." -- Thom Ronk, Teaching Tolerance"Hunger is hidden. Most of us don't see it, don't hear about it, don't think about it because it's such a shameful thing for those experiencing it. But hunger is growing in America, and its worst victims are the children who must go without food every day, or who are fed empty, sweet calories instead of a nutritious meal because those calories are cheaper than good food. The Lunch Thief brings us a gentle reminder of what hunger can drive even children to do—and of the kindness and mercy that must be our response." -- Naomi Schalit, authorof the award-winning newspaper series “For I Was Hungry”
