SKYSCAPESThe Role and Importance of the Sky in ArchaeologyEdited by Fabio Silva & Nicholas Campion

• Papers exploring the current role of archaeoastronomical knowledge in archaeological discourseThe role of the sky for past societies has been relegated to the fringes of archaeological discourse. Nevertheless archaeoastronomy has developed a new rigour in the last few decades and the evidence suggests that it can provide insights into the beliefs, practices and cosmologies of past societies. Skyscapes explores the current role of archaeoastronomical knowledge in archaeological discourse and how to integrate the two. It shows how it is not only possible but even desirable to look at the skyscape to shed further light on human societies.

THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF CREMATIONBurned Human Remains in Funerary StudiesEdited by Tim Thompson

• First comprehensive study of the processes, ritual and practices involved in the cremation of human bodies and the methodologies that can be applied to the study of cremated human remainsHuman societies have disposed of their dead in a variety of ways. However, while considerable attention has been paid to bodies that were buried, comparatively little work has been devoted to understanding the nature of cremated remains, despite their visibility through time. In this book the reader is introduced to the nature of burned human remains and the destructive effect that fire can have on the body.

CERAMICS, CUISINE AND CULTUREThe Archaeology and Science of Kitchen Pottery in the Ancient Mediterranean WorldEdited by Alexandra Villing & Michela Spataro

• Presents a range of interdisciplinary studies on technological and socio-economic aspects of the ceramic kitchen ware, cuisine and cookingThe 23 papers presented here are the product of the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and approaches to the study of kitchen pottery between archaeologists, material scientists, historians and ethnoarchaeologists. They aim to set a vital but long-neglected category of evidence in its wider social, political and economic contexts.

TOWARDS SKYSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGYBy Fabio Silva

• The study of beliefs and practices concerning the sky in the past and the uses to which people’s understanding of the sky has long been of great interest to archaeologists Looks at archaeoastronomical theory and method from the point of view of archaeology. It highlights current limitations and suggests what needs to be addressed and overcome for archaeoastronomy to produce knowledge of value to the broader academic community. It argues that archaeoastronomy needs to come closer to archaeology; it needs to become a skyscape archaeology, and proposes ways to achieve this.

CHILDREN, SPACES AND IDENTITYEdited by Margarita Sánchez Romero, Eva Alarcón García & Gonzalo Aranda Jiménez

• Presents multi-disciplinary studies focusing on how children construct, negotiate and organize space during their lives and what part they play in funerary practicesHow do children construct, negotiate and organize space? The study of social space in any human group is fraught with limitations, and to these we must add the further limits involved in the study of childhood. Here specialists build a body of theoretical and methodological approaches about how space is articulated and organised around children and how this disposition affects the creation and maintenance of social identities.

TRENDS IN BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY 1Edited by Karina Gerdau-Radonić & Kathleen McSweeney

• First in a new series on methods and applications in biological anthropology11 papers on topics including a case study of modern baboons as proxies to understand extinct hominin species’ diet using methods and standards usually applied to human remains, and a case study on a series of skulls from Belgrade, Serbia, displaying evidence for beheading. In the final paper the concept and definition of ‘perimortem’ particularly within a Forensic Anthropology context are examined and the paper presents a collaborative effort between historians, archaeologists, museum officers, medieval re-enactors and food scientists to encourage healthy eating among present day Britons by presenting the ill effects of certain dietary habits on the human skeleton.

DEALING WITH BIASESThree Geo-archaeological Approaches to the Hidden Landscapes of ItalyBy Hendrik Feiken

• Explores the bias that is introduced by erosion and sedimentation on the distribution of archaeological materials in Mediterranean landscapes Describes innovative, interdisciplinary work that led to the formulation of a range of geo-archeological approaches that are applied to two Italian areas, studied intensively by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology: the Pontine Region in South Lazio, and the Raganello Basin in North Calabria. The book also shows how the three geo-archaeological approaches can be applied in a wider context to quantitatively understand how erosion and sedimentation bias our understanding of archaeological records.

WATER AND HERITAGEMaterial, Conceptual and Spiritual ConnectionsEdited by Willem Willems & Henk van Shaik

• Water is vital for life, and its availability has been a concern for mankind throughout the agesThis book deals with the heritage of water management and the uses made of water, as well as the impact of water management on heritage. The papers reflect the dynamic relation between water management and heritage. It offers evolving insights about water and heritage from many disciplines and aims to connect decision makers with experts such as engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, ecologist and landscape architects.

DEATH EMBODIEDArchaeological Approaches to the Treatment of the CorpseEdited by Zoë L. Devlin & Emma-Jayne Graham

• New insights into the role of the body, living and dead, in the funerary practices of past communitiesIn 1485, a marble sarcophagus was found in Rome. It contained the remains of a Roman woman so well-preserved that she appeared to have only just died. The choices made by past communities or individuals about how to cope with a dead body, and whether there was reason to treat it in a manner that singled it out, provide the stimulus for this volume. The nine papers provide a series of case studies which focus predominantly on the corporeal body in death, and combine the insights that body-centred analysis can produce to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the role of the body, living and dead, in past cultures.

ARCHAEOLOGY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTBy Peter Gould & Edited by Paul Burtenshaw

• A thought-provoking international discourse concerning the path forward for archaeology as the field engages with economic developmentNowhere in archaeology is the gap between theory and practice more evident than in its ambivalent engagement with economic development. This groundbreaking volume assembles practicing archaeologists, economists, and NGO officials in an extensive exploration of the theoretical, practical and ethical issues raised by archaeologists’ use of cultural heritage to support economic development.

LIVING IN THE LANDSCAPEEdited by Katherine Boyle, Ryan J. Rabett & Chris O. Hunt

• Reflects on the multitude of ways by which humans shape and are shaped by the natural worldThe book recognizes Graeme Barker’s pioneering contribution to the study of human-environment interaction, and form a secondary dialectic between his colleagues and the academic vista which he has helped define. Chapters illustrate how climate, demographic, subsistence, social and ecological change have affected cultures from the Palaeolithic to Historical, from North Africa and West-Central Eurasia to Southeast Asia and China. They also chronicle the innovations and renegotiated relations that communities have devised to meet the many shifting realities involved with Living in the Landscape.

ARCHÉOLOGIE CARAÏBEEdited by Benoit Bérard & Catherine Losier

• Rich and varied, this book offers us a unique view of current research in Caribbean archaeology The notion of space is a key concept of the archaeological discipline. Movable or immovable remains found during excavations are the material reflections of political, social, economic and cultural populations studied. This book analyses three aspects of Caribbean Space (lived, intertwined and symbolic) using a variety of recent research and dealing equally with the pre-Columbian Caribbean and colonial period. Nearly forty international authors, recognized specialists in archaeology in the Caribbean and the Guianas, are gathered for the project. French and English text.

SCOTS DYKE TO TURNPIKEThe Archaeology of the A66, Greta Bridge to Scotch CornerBy John Zant & Christine Howard-Davis

The A66 has been a routeway of significance for at least 2000 years, linking the east and west of the country by the Stainmore Pass. Archaeological excavation ahead of the upgrading of the A66 to dual carriageway, between Greta Bridge and Scotch Corner, provided an important opportunity to investigate the development of the landscape. The volume arises from a multi-disciplinary approach to the archaeology, with the emphasis placed on interpreting the sites within their wider landscape context. It involved a multiplicity of authors, ranging from staff at Oxford Archaeology North, to external specialists, including staff at University College, London.

THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE LOWER CITY AND ADJACENT SUBURBSBy Kate Steane, Margaret Darling, Michael J. Jones, Jenny Mann, Alan Vince & Jane Young

• Contains reports on excavations undertaken in the lower walled city at LincolnRemains of timber storage buildings were found, probably associated with the Roman legionary occupation in the 1st century AD. Urban occupation did not recommence until the 9th century with the first phases of Anglo-Scandinavian occupation. From the late 13th century the fringe sites became depopulated. There was a revival in the later post-medieval period, but much of the earlier fabric, and surviving stretches of Roman city wall, were swept away in the 19th century.

WHAT THE VICTORIANS THREW AWAYBy Tom Licence

• Highly illustrated, readable insight into the everyday lives of Victorians based on archaeological examination of the contents of their rubbishIn this delightfully illustrated little book Tom Licence reveals how these everyday minutiae, dug from the ground, contribute to the bigger story of how our great grandparents built a throwaway society from the twin foundations of packaging and mass consumption and illustrates how our own throwaway habits were formed. How far off are our grandparents in reality when we can sniff the residues of their perfume, cough medicines, and face cream? If we want to know what they bought in the village store, how they stocked the kitchen cupboard, and how they fed, pampered, and cared for themselves there is no better archive than a rubbish tip within which each object reveals a story.

TROPHIES, RELICS AND CURIOS?Missionary Heritage from Africa and the PacificEdited by Karen Jacobs, Chantal Knowles & Chris Wingfield

• Sheds light on the histories of British Missionaries in Africa and the PacificThe British Missionary movement, which began in earnest in the early 19th century, was one of the most extraordinary movements of the last two centuries, radically transforming the lives of people in large parts of the globe, including in Europe itself. By exploring a range of artefacts, photographs and archival documents that have survived, or emerged from, these transformations, this volume sheds an oblique light on the histories of British Missionaries in Africa and the Pacific, and the ways in which their work is remembered in different parts of the world today.

STEELWORKS, CRUCIBLE FURNACES AND WORKERS’ HOUSINGArchaeological Investigations at Hoyle Street SheffieldBy Andrew Powell

• Reveals aspects of industrial Sheffield through archaeological remains and historical research, as well as looking at domestic life in the 19th centuryArchaeological excavations have revealed significant evidence for crucible steelmaking; documentary research has helped elucidate details of this industry that made Sheffield world famous for the production of cutlery and tools in the 19th and 20th centuries. Evidence for domestic occupation was also found together with evidence for possible cottage industry.

FIRST LIGHTThe Origins of NewgrangeBy Robert Hensey

• An untold history of Newgrange; an island-wide story of incremental changes over hundreds of yearsNewgrange in Ireland is a world famous monument not only because of its vast scale and copious megalithic art, but also because of its renowned alignment to the morning sun on the winter solstice. Yet the origins of Newgrange are still somewhat mysterious. Across Ireland over two hundred similar passage tombs are found, some which are considerably older than Newgrange. These less recognised passage tombs reveal that the origins of Newgrange may be hidden in plain sight.

CARTIMANDUA’S CAPITAL?The Late Iron Age Royal Site at Stanwick, North Yorks, Fieldwork and Analysis 1981-2009Edited by Colin Haselgrove

• The late Iron Age earthwork complex at Stanwick is the largest prehistoric site in northern England and was probably the seat of the Brigantian queen CartimanduFamous for the excavations carried out by Sir Mortimer Wheeler in 1951-52 and the largest prehistoric site in northern England. This site was probably the seat of the Brigantian queen Cartimandua, and both the structures and the finds from the site reflect this status. A recent re-evaluation of the radiocarbon dates has led to a new chronology which has rewritten our understanding of late Iron Age Britain.

THE BELL BEAKER TRANSITION IN EUROPEMobility and Local Evolution During the 3rd Millennium BCEdited by Maria Pilar Prieto Martínez & Laure Salanova

• New perspectives on social, technological and physical anthropological aspects of the Bell Beaker transition across EuropeCould the circulation of objects or ideas and the mobility of artisans explain the unprecedented uniformity of the material culture observed throughout the whole of Europe? The 17 papers presented here offer a range of new and different perspectives on the Beaker phenomenon across Europe. The focus is not on Bell Beaker pottery but on social groups (craft specialists, warriors, chiefs, extended or nuclear families), using technological studies and physical anthropology to understand mobility patterns during the 3rd millennium BC.

SWIFTERBANT STONESThe Neolithic Stone and Flint Industry at Swifterbant (the Netherlands): From Stone Typology and Flint Technology to Site FunctionBy Izabel Devriendt

• Provides a better understanding of the different aspects of prehistoric stone and flint industriesIn this research the stone and flint artefacts of the site Swifterbant are analysed. Attention is focussed on the Neolithic occupation phase of the prehistoric creek system (c. 4300-4000 cal BC) where archaeological traces were found on several levee and river dune sites. This thesis comprises a monograph on the research history of the site and the different aspects of the lithic research in combination with a detailed inventory (catalogue).

BREAKING WITH TRADITIONCultural Influences for the Decline of the Circum-Alpine Region Lake-DwellingsBy Benjamin Jennings

• Proposes an alternative to the climatically-driven models of lake-dwelling abandonmentStudies of material culture have shown that some of the Late Bronze Age lake-dwellings in the northern Alpine region were significant centres for the production and exchange of bronzework and manufactured products. However, during the early Iron Age the former lake-dwelling region does not show such high levels of incorporation to long-distance exchange systems. The volume combines the evidence of material culture studies with occupation patterns and burial practices.

CONTINENTAL CONNECTIONSExploring Cross-Channel RelationshipsEdited by Hugo Anderson-Whymark, Duncan Garrow & Fraser Sturt

The prehistories of Britain and Ireland are inescapably entwined with continental European narratives. The central aim here is to explore ‘cross-channel’ relationships throughout later prehistory, investigating the archaeological links (material, social, cultural) between the areas we now call Britain and Ireland, and continental Europe, from the Mesolithic through to the end of the Iron Age. In approaching the subject of ‘continental connections’ in the long-term, and by bringing a variety of different archaeological perspectives to bear on it, this volume provides a new a new synthesis of the ebbs and flows of the cross-channel relationship over the course of 15,000 years of later prehistory.

PICTURING THE BRONZE AGEEdited by Johan Ling, Peter Skoglund & Ulf Bertilsson

Fifteen papers, with a geographical coverage from Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula, examine a wide range of topics reflecting the many forms and expressions of Bronze Age imagery encompassing important themes including religion, materiality, mobility, interaction, power and gender. Contributors explore specific elements of rock art in some detail such as the representation of the human form; images of manslaughter; and gender identities. The relationship between rock art imagery and its location on the one hand, and metalwork and networks of trade and exchange of both materials and ideas on the other, are considered. Modern and ancient perceptions of rock art are discussed, in particular the changing perceptions that have developed during almost 150 years of documented research.

‘VERGETEN’ BANDKERAMIEKEen Odyssee naar de oudste neolithische bewoning in NederlandEdited by Ivo van Wijk, Luc Amkreutz & Piet van de Velde

The archaeological research on early Neolithic Linear Pottery culture has a long history in the Netherlands. Since the first discoveries in 1925, professionals and amateur archaeologists have worked to increase our knowledge of this culture. Besides major excavations conducted by the University of Leiden publications on the topic have been limited up to this point. For this project, a selection of smaller ceramic excavations are analysed and made accessible for scientific research as well as to a wider audience. The rich research history is discussed and reports on the excavations of fourteen ceramic sites in the Graetheideregio included. Text in Dutch.

BIR UMM FAWAKHIR 3Excavations 1999-2001By Carol Meyer, Lisa A. Heidorn, Salima Ikram, Richard L. Jaeschke, Thomas C. Roby & Wendy Smith

• The last of the final reports on the archaeological surveys and excavations at the Byzantine site of Bir Umm FawakhirBir Umm Fawakhir 3 is the last of the final reports on the archaeological surveys and excavations at the Byzantine site of Bir Umm Fawakhir in the central Eastern Desert of Egypt; it remains the only intensively studied ancient Egyptian gold-mining operation, and one of very few completely mapped towns of the era. Along with other recent excavations and surveys, it demonstrates the Byzantine empire’s continuing activities in the Eastern Desert, not abandonment, as had long been believed.

OLD NUBIAN TEXTS FROM QASR IBRIM (P. QI4)By Giovanni Ruffini

British excavations at the important archaeological site of Qasr Ibrim have yielded numerous written sources composed in Greek, Coptic, Old Nubian, and Arabic. However, only a small number of them have been published so far, among them some sixty Old Nubian texts, both literary and documents. After twenty years of stagnation in this field, Ruffini took up the task and produced the edition of further sixty-two Old Nubian texts, this time only documents. Texts included in this volume supplement Ruffini’s 2012 monograph and provide illustration for his reconstruction of social and economic life of the Middle Nile Valley in the 12th-14th century. The edition of each document is supplied with a photograph as well as linguistic and historical commentary.

EXCAVATIONS AT TELL NEBI MEND, SYRIA VOLUME IEdited by Peter J. Parr

The archaeological site of Tell Nebi Mend, a tell on the Homs plain in present-day Syria, is universally recognised as the location, first, of Qadesh, where, in c. 1286 BC, the armies of Ramesses II of Egypt and Muwatalli II of Great Hatti fought the most famous battle of pre-classical antiquity, and, second, of Laodicea ad Libanum, founded probably in the 3rd century BC as the capital of a district of the Seleucid empire. Collaborative excavations undertaken over 12 seasons aimed to fill a major gap in archaeological knowledge between the northern and southern Levant. The earliest settlement so far discovered at Tell Nebi Mend dates to the first half of the 7th millennium BC and is the subject of this volume.

ANCIENT SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS AND CULTURES IN THE RAM HORMUZ PLAIN, SOUTHWESTERN IRANExcavations at Tall-e Geser and Regional Survey in the Ram Hormuz AreaBy Abbas Alizadeh, Loghman Ahmadzadeh, Mehdi Omidfar, John R. Alden, Leah Minc, Jacques Connan, John Zumberge & Kendra Imbus

In 1948, the Oriental Institute returned to its long tradition of archaeological research by sending Donald McCown to the lowlands of southwestern Iran to conduct a series of surface surveys. McCown recorded 118 sites in the Ram Hormuz and Ahvaz areas and eventually chose for excavation the large prehistoric mound complex Tall-e Geser. Three months of excavation in 1948 and 1949 yielded materials that were kept in Chicago for many years. Apart from short articles, the site has never previously been fully published.

THE ARCHAEOLOGY AND HISTORY OF THE SOUTHERN TRANSJORDAN/EDOMITE PLATEAU AND THE DEAD SEA RIFT VALLEY TO THE WESTThe Bronze Age through the Islamic Period (3800/3700 BC-AD 1917)By Burton MacDonald

An in-depth study of the archaeology and history of human presence over the past five-six thousand years in the southern segment of the Transjordan/Edomite Plateau and the Dead Sea Rift Valley to the west. The evidence from archaeology for the area spans the entire period though the time for which literary evidence is available is only the past 4000 years. The literary evidence and the archaeological record are used to describe environments, resources, industries, settlement patterns, and the life styles of the inhabitants of this pivotal region.

The archaeological site of Tell Nebi Mend, a tell on the Homs plain in present-day Syria, is universally recognised as the location, first, of Qadesh (or Kadesh), where, in c. 1286

BC, the armies of Ramesses II of Egypt and Muwatalli II of Great Hatti fought the most famous battle of pre-classical antiquity, and, second, of Laodicea ad Libanum, founded most probably in the 3rd century BC as the capital of a district of the Seleucid empire. Collaborative excavations undertaken over 12 seasons aimed to fill a major gap in archaeological knowledge between the northern and southern Levant and to develop an understanding of the archaeology and early history of the Levantine Corridor independent of, and supplementing, that based on Palestinian and Biblical research. The primary aim was to obtain as complete a sequence as possible of cultural and environmental data, sampling all periods of the site’s occupation, which included Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Hellenistic/Roman deposits, enclosures and defenses spanning the 7th millennium BC to the mid-1st millennium AD. A definitive classification of all types of Syrian pottery over two millennia was established, together with a much longer sequence of pottery, stone, metal and bone implements, terracottas and other cultural remains, accompanied by a wealth of environmental data and a series of radiometric dates. The earliest settlement so far discovered at Tell Nebi Mend dates to the first half of the 7th millennium BC and is the subject of this volume. Five phases of occupation were recognised with architectural features including, at different times, house structures and remains of larger, probably communal, buildings, along with remains of plaster, floor surfaces, fire and rubbish pits and burials, followed by large-scale abandonment. More than 2000 sherds of Neolithic pottery and 1400 flint and obsidian artefacts were recovered.

The Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) is the British Academy sponsored society for research into the humanities and social sciences in the modern countries of the Levant, closely related to the former Bilad el-Sham. It is a membership based learned society, with its headquarters in London and research centres in the region. The regional centres provide research facilities for members, with libraries, accommodation and equipment, and serve as contact points with local universities, museums, other research institutions and government agencies.

The CBRL currently sponsors a large number of British-based research projects in the Levant, in topics ranging from Palaeolithic archaeology to contemporary social science, fostering collaborative research with scholars in the region. Members receive the CBRL’s journal, Levant, as well as the annual CBRL Bulletin which reports on current research and activities.

The CBRL also sponsors regular lectures in London and elsewhere in the UK, as well as in the Levant, and publishes academic monographs in the ‘Levant Supplementary Series’.

VILLAIN OR VISIONARY?R. A. S. Macalister and the Archaeology of PalestineEdited by Samuel R. Wolff

• Richly illustrated book reflecting on the man and his workR. A. Stewart Macalister is an important but controversial figure in the history of Palestinian archaeology. This volume celebrates his excavations at Gezer just over a century ago under the auspices of the PEF, which was one of the first methodological and large-scale excavations in the land and, among other artefacts, unearthed the Gezer Calendar. This volume not only reflects on the man and his work, but also reports on current work at both Gezer and Tell-es-Safi. It is also richly illustrated with images from the PEF archives. It is generally agreed that Macalister is a figure who cannot be ignored, and anyone interested in Palestinian archaeology will find a great deal to learn from this book.

AUTOPSY IN ATHENSRecent Archaeological Research on Athens and AtticaEdited by Margaret M. Miles

• Presents new observations on a range of aspects of the ancient city of Athens and life, politics and religion in AtticaThe 15 paper presented here contribute new findings that result from first-hand examinations of the archaeological and epigraphical evidence. They illustrate how much may be gained by re-examining material from older excavations, and from the methodological shift from documenting information to closer analysis and larger historical reflection. They offer perspectives on a range of issues: techniques of architectural construction and sculpting; religious expression in Athens include cults of Asklepios and Serapis; the precise procedures for Greek sacrifice; and how the borders of Attica were defined over time.

THE CITY OF NEW HALOS AND ITS SOUTHEAST GATEBy H. Reinders

• A detailed description and analysis of the structure and layout of the Southeast Gate of New HalosNew Halos, a Hellenistic city in Thessaly (Greece) with an impressive enceinte, 4.7 km long and fortified with at least 120 towers surrounding the lower and upper town. Excavation of a series of houses in the lower town revealed that the city, probably founded in 302 BC by Demetrios Poliorketes, was abandoned after an earthquake around 265 BC. The Southeast Gate, flanked by two towers, gave accessto the city from the south. Numerous artefacts show that after the earthquake the gate complex was used as a large farmstead where agricultural produce was processed and stored.

ARIS & PHILLIPS CLASSICAL TEXTS

Satyric is the most thinly attested genre of Greek drama, but it appears to have been the oldest and formative for tragedy. By the 5th century BC at the Athenian great dramatic festivals it was performed after the three tragedies which each poet was required to present in competition. It was in contrast with them, aesthetically and emotionally, its plays being considerably shorter and simpler. Coarse and half-way to comedy, it burlesqued heroic and tragic myth.

Euripides Cyclops is the only satyr-play which survives complete. It is generally held to be the poet’s late work, but its companion tragedies are not identifiable. Its title alone signals its content, Odysseus’ escape from the one-eyed, man-eating monster. Because of its uniqueness, Cyclops could only afford a limited idea of satyric drama’s range, but our knowledge and appreciation of the genre have been greatly enlarged by recovery since the early 20th Century of considerable fragments of Aeschylus, Euripides’ predecessor, and of Sophocles, his contemporary.

This volume provides English readers for the first time with all the most important texts of satyric drama, with facing-page translation, substantial introduction and detailed commentary. It includes not only the major papyri, but very many shorter fragments of importance, both on papyrus and in quotation, from the 5th to the 3rd Centuries.

Patrick O’Sullivan is Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.

Christopher Collard is Professor Emeritus in Classics at the University of Swansea, the author of many books on Greek literature including Euripides Hecuba and Euripides Selected Fragmentary Plays Volumes 1 & 2 (with Cropp, Gibert & Lee) in this series, and is also the Series Editor of the Aris & Phillips Classical Texts.

Aeschylus starts his tetralogy boldly, making the Danaids themselves prologue, chorus and protagonist. Guided by their father Danaus, these girls have fled from Egypt, where their cousins want to marry them, to seek asylum in Argos: they claim descent from Io, who was driven to Egypt five generations earlier when Zeus’ love for her was detected by jealous Hera. In the long first movement of the play the Danaids argue their claim, pressing it with song and dance of pathos and power, upon the reluctant Argive king. He, forced eventually by their threat of suicide, puts the case to his people, who vote to accept the girls, but while they sing blessings on Argos, Danaus spies their cousins’ ships arriving. Left on their own when he goes for help, they sing more seriously of suicide, and seek sanctuary upstage when the Egyptians enter. A remarkable tussle of two choruses ensues; in the nick of time the king arrives, sees off the Egyptians (but they promise a return) and offers his hospitality. The girls want their father, however, and go when guided by him and his escort of Argive soldiers. Their final song has elements of wedding song in it; they share it, provocatively, with the Argives. The rest of the tetralogy is lost, but enough is known to indicate that marriage is the theme. Aeschylus probably surprised his first audience in his use of the myth; his command of theatre and poetry is fully mature.

AN IRON AGE ENCLOSURE AND ROMANO-BRITISH FEATURES AT HIGH POST, NEAR SALISBURYBy Andrew B. Powell

Archaeological works at High Post near Salisbury have confirmed the presence of an Iron Age hilltop enclosure on the southern margins of Salisbury Plain. The enclosure was bounded by a V-shaped ditch in association with a wide zone suggestive of an internal bank. Significantly, lying beneath the line of the bank was a large spread of mostly articulated animal bone, dating to the Early Iron Age.

AUGUSTINEThe City of God Book X

De Civitate Dei

The City of God

AUGUSTINE

P. G. WalshEDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION, TRANSLATION & COMMENTARY BY



This edition of St Augustine’s City of God is the only one in English to provide a text and translation as well as a detailed commentary of this most influential document in the history of western Christianity. In these books, written in the aftermath of the sack of Rome in AD 410 by the Goths, Augustine replies to the pagans, who attributed the fall of Rome to the Christian religion and its prohibition of the worship of the pagan gods.

Following on from Book IX, this book discusses the issue of demons and their role in Platonism as being partly identical with the lesser gods. Having previously argued that in order to achieve the blessed life, we must worship one true God alone, Augustine now continues his discussion using the celebrated Neoplatonist Porphyry as his main source.

Whilst applauding aspects of Porphyry’s views, Augustine’s main concern is to deliver his message that the sole path to blessedness after death is acknowledgement of the Incarnation and Christ as Mediator. Increasingly concerned with promoting the Christian message, Augustine cites the Bible frequently in Book X.

P.G. Walsh is Senior Research Fellow and Emeritus Professor of Humanity at the University of Glasgow. He is editor of Augustine, De bono coniugali and De sancta uirginitate (Oxford), translator of Paulinus of Nola (Letters, Poems) and of Cassiodorus, Explanation of the Psalms (Ancient Christian Writers). He is also editor of many volumes of Livy, including separate editions of Books XXXVI to XL in the Aris & Phillips Classical Texts series. Livy is a main source of Augustine in these books of The City of God.

AUGUSTINE: DE CIVITATE DEI BOOKS XI AND XIIBy P. G. Walsh

Books XI and XII document the initial phase of the rise of the two cities, the city of God and the city of this world. In Book XI, Augustine rejects the theories of Aristotle, Plato and the Epicureans on the creation of the universe and addresses the creation of angels, Satan, the role of the holy Trinity and the importance of numberology in the Genesis account. In Book XII Augustine is concerned with refuting standard objections to the Christian tradition, returning to discussion of the Creation.

THE ANCIENT NOVEL AND THE FRONTIERS OF GENREEdited by Marília F. Futre Pinheiro, Gareth Schmeling & Edmund P. Cueva

The tendency nowadays is to assume that there was in Antiquity a homogeneous group of works of narrative prose fiction that displayed a series of recurrent, iterative, thematic, and formal characteristics, which allows us to label them novels. The papers assembled in this volume widen and enrich the scope of the canon. The essays explore a wide variety of texts, crossed genres, and hybrid forms, which transgress the boundaries of the so-called ancient novel, providing an excellent insight into different kinds of narrative prose in antiquity.

GREECE, MACEDON AND PERSIAEdited by Timothy Howe, Erin Garvin & Graham Wrightson

This book contains papers related to the history and historiography of warfare, politics and power in the ancient Mediterranean world. The contributions show how ancient peoples considered war and conflict at the heart of social, political and economic activity. Though focusing on a single theme, the papers are firmly based in the context of the wider social and literary issues of ancient Mediterranean scholarship and as such, consider war and conflict as part of a complex matrix of culture.

GREEK MUSIC, DRAMA, SPORT, AND FAUNAThe Collected Classical Papers of E. K. BorthwickEdited by Calum Maciver

STAUNCH MEADOW, BRANDON, SUFFOLKA High Status Middle Saxon SettlementBy Andrew Tester, Sue Anderson, Ian Riddler & Robert Carr

Excavations revealed evidence of a settlement dating from the mid 7th to late 9th centuries. Remains of a wooden bridge and 35 buildings were found, some with timber surviving in post-holes, also a smithy, a possible bakery and two churches. Part of the waterfront was given over to textile processing. Amongst thousands of artefacts, some provided compelling evidence for literacy.

A LATE SAXON VILLAGE AND MEDIEVAL MANORExcavations at Botolph Bridge, Orton Longueville, PeterboroughBy Paul Spoerry & Rob Atkins

Botolph Bridge lay beside an important crossing of the River Nene and once formed part of a well-known medieval vill, referenced in Domesday Book. Botolph Bridge was noted for its well preserved medieval earthworks but since the late 1980s these have gradually been destroyed by housing development. An earthwork survey carried out in 1982 amply demonstrated the complexity and importance of the site, showing a church and manorial complex with house plots strung out along an adjacent road and fields separated from the main settlement by a hollow way.

LARGE CARGO SHIPS IN DANISH WATERS 1000-1250Evidence of specialised merchant seafaring prior to the Hanseatic PeriodBy Anton Englert

The medieval Hanseatic merchants are famous for their maritime trade network, which extended across Northern Europe from the 13th century onward. The rare quote above sheds light on a less known period, beginning in the late Viking Age, when large, elegant cargo ships were built and sailed across the sea by Scandinavian merchants. This volume presents the earliest archaeological evidence for specialised merchant seafaring in Danish waters. The cargo ship-finds of Eltang Vig, Lynæs, Karschau and Haderslev are explored in detail in order to illuminate the technology and style of a dynamic age of maritime enterprise and cultural transformation.

THE SPLENDOUR OF POWEREarly Medieval Kingship and the Use of Gold and Silver in the Southern North Sea Area (5th to 7th Century AD)By J.A.W. Nicolay

From the 5th to the 7th century AD, the southern North Sea area functioned as an important cultural and political bridge, linking two power blocks: the late Roman Empire and its Frankish successor kingdom to the south, and the Scandinavian kingdoms to the north. This book examines how the region’s intermediary position is reflected in the jewellery and other ornaments of gold and silver found along the southern North Sea coasts, and how it relates to the formation of kingdoms and the expression of group identity after the collapse of the West-Roman Empire.

This report analyses the information obtained from the archaeological investigations undertaken at the castle since the early twentieth century, including those of A. E. Rawlence (1932), C. E. Bean (1932 to 1954), and the authors of this report, Peter White, and the late Alan Cook (1980–95).

DANES IN WESSEXThe Scandinavian Impact on Southern England, c. 800-c. 1100Edited by Ryan Lavelle & Simon Roffey

• First major collection of papers and multi-disciplinary studies devoted to the impact of the Vikings and Danes on south and south-west EnglandThere have been many studies of Scandinavians in Britain, but this is the first collection of essays to be devoted solely to their engagement with Wessex. Here, a multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approach to the problems of their study is presented. Two major topics, the Viking wars and the Danish landowning elite, figure strongly in this collection but are shown not to be the sole reasons for the presence of Danes, or items associated with them, in Wessex.

INTELLECTUAL LIFE AND LITERATURE AT SOLOVKI 1923-1930The Paris of the Northern Concentration CampsBy Andrea Gullotta

In 1923, the Soviet state created a prison camp on the Solovki archipelago. It became the laboratory of the Gulag where prisoners died by the hundreds. Yet the camp’s activities in cultural re-education were surprisingly extensive. This study reconstructs the cultural history of the camp and provides an analysis of the literary works published in the press of the Solovki camp up until 1930, thus changing the current research frame on Gulag literature and shedding light on the extraordinary fight of an isolated group of men for intellectual freedom.

QUEEN ELIZABETH’S WARDROBE UNLOCK’DEdited by Janet Arnold

• Illustrated with photographs of portraits, miniatures, tomb sculptures, engravings, woven textiles and embroideriesThe vast wardrobe of Queen Elizabeth I is legendary. The quantity of clothes recorded in the inventories taken in 1600 would seem to suggest sheer vanity, but a survey of work carried out in the Wardrobe of Robes throughout the reign reveals a different picture. It is one of careful organisation and economy. This copiously annotated work is an invaluable reference for students of the history of dress and embroidery, for social historians, for art historians working in the field of portraiture, and those with a general interest in the period.

WIGMORE CASTLE, NORTH HEREFORDSHIREExcavations 1996 and 1998By Stephanie Ratkai

• A richly illustrated interpretation of an iconic Herefordshire castleExcavations at Wigmore Castle were carried out in 1996 and 1998 as a precursor to repair and consolidation of the castle. Evidence of the earliest castle was found including part of a substantial 12th-century timber building. By the 15th century the castle was the scene of activity – dietary evidence and artefacts indicate that there was high-status occupation. In the 16th century the castle was falling into disrepair and by the early 17th century decline appears to have been terminal.

TADEM, MY FATHER’S VILLAGEExtinguished During the 1915 Armenian GenocideBy Robert Aram Kaloosdian

• See the life and death of an Armenian village through the eyes of townspeopleDrawing on witness accounts, most never before published, the author recounts the life and death of one village. He follows his father and other townspeople from the first intimations of violence through deportations, separations, massacres, and escapes, to the establishment of diasporal communities. The author presents Tadem as a microcosm of the Genocide and argues that the Turks used the outbreak of World War I as a cover for atrocities motivated by religious hatred and greed.

A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN SIXTEEN SHIPWRECKSBy Stewart Gordon

• A series of compelling narratives reveals the development of institutions and technologies that made terrifying oceans familiarA History of the World in Sixteen Shipwrecks explores the ages-long, immensely hazardous, persistently romantic, and still-ongoing process of moving people and goods across far-flung maritime worlds. Telling the stories of ships and the people who made and sailed them, from the earliest ancient-Nile craft to the Exxon Valdez, A History of the World in Sixteen Shipwrecks argues that the gradual integration of localized and separate maritime regions into fewer, larger, and more interdependent regions offers a unique window on world history.

THE POEM OF FERNÁN GONZÁLEZBy Peter Such & Richard Rabone

• New translation set against detailed historic contextThe popular image of Fernán González is of a fearsome warrior who gave his people protection from their enemies and a wise lord who enabled them to live in security and harmony. He was generally accepted to have played a role in achieving independence for Castile. The Poema de Fernán González was composed in the mid-thirteenth century as an enduring celebration of his triumphs and account of his life and deeds. This new translation is set against a detailed study of the historic context of the Castillian conflicts and a factual account of the life and achievements of Fernán González.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS IN BRAZIL 1768-1930Edited by Ana Claudia Suriani Da Silva & Sandra Guardini Vasconcelos

This book brings together a collection of original articles on the transnational relations between Brazil and Europe, especially England and France, in the domain of literature and print culture from its early stages to the end of the 1920s. It covers the time when it was forbidden to print in Brazil, and Portugal strictly controlled which books were sent to the colony, through the quick flourishing of a transnational printing industry and book market after 1822, to the shift of hegemony in the printing business from foreign to Brazilian hands at the beginning of the twentieth century.

URBAN SPACE, IDENTITY AND POSTMODERNITY IN 1980s SPAINRethinking the MovidaBy Marite Usoz de la Fuente

During the 1980s, the urban youth movement known as la movida transformed the Spanish cultural landscape, particularly in Madrid. After a four-decade long dictatorship, artists and thinkers sought to make the most of their newly found freedoms. The vibrancy, optimism and aesthetic heterogeneity of the period are best captured in the fanzines and magazines that provided movida participants with an immediate and largely unmediated outlet for their creative experiments.

A SIGHT FOR SORE EYESThe Surrealist Visuality of José María HinojosaBy Jacqueline Rattray

José María Hinojosa, a pioneer of Surrealism in Spain, moved in the same circles as Buñuel and Dalí, and was a key figure in forming an organised group of Spanish surrealists along the lines of the French model. And yet, the name of Hinojosa remains curiously neglected. He lived a short but prolific literary life during which time he published some groundbreaking surrealist poetry and texts. The iconic image of the mutilated eye forms the focal point of this present study. Hinojosa’s work is read here within the context of the visual arts — surrealist collage, paranoiac-critical activity and cinema.

ALEJO CARPENTIER AND THE MUSICAL TEXTBy Katia Chornik

Widely known for his novels El reino de este mundo (The Kingdom of this World) and Los pasos perdidos (The Lost Steps), the Swiss-born Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980) incorporated music in his fiction extensively. Chornik’s study focuses on Carpentier’s writings from a musicological perspective, bridging intermediality and intertextuality through an examination of music as formative, as form, and as performed. The emphasis lies on the novels Los pasos perdidos, El acoso (The Chase), Concierto barroco (Baroque Concerto) and La consagración de la primavera (The Rite of Spring), and on his unknown essay Los orígenes de la música y la música primitiva (The Origins of Music and Primitive Music), the repository of ideas for Los pasos perdidos, included here for the first time as facsimile and in English translation.

SPANISH NEW YORK NARRATIVES 1898-1936Modernization, Otherness and NationBy David Miranda-Barreiro

In the early decades of the twentieth century, New York caught the attention of Spanish writers. Many of them visited the city and returned to tell their experience in the form of a literary text. That is the case of Pruebas de Nueva York by José Moreno Villa, El crisol de las razas by Teresa de Escoriaza, Anticípolis by Luis de Oteyza and La ciudad automática by Julio Camba. The image of New York given in these texts reflects the tensions and anxieties generated by the modernisation embodied by the United States. These authors project onto New York their concerns and expectations about issues of class, gender and ethnicity that were debated at the time, in the context of the crisis of Spanish national identity triggered by the end of the empire in 1898.

• A unique insight into the political and legal context and consequences of the Spanish Succession War and the Treaty of UtrechtConsidered by many historians to be the first real world war, as it involved fighting in the Americas as well as in Europe, the War of the Spanish Succession changed the map of Europe and led to significant alterations in the balance of power. In this volume twelve eminent historians and legal experts from Spain and the United Kingdom consider the political and legal context and consequences of the War and the Treaty of Utrecht that brought it to an end, consequences that still resonate today.

Ana Clavel is a remarkable contemporary Mexican writer whose literary and multimedia oeuvre is marked by its queerness. By fore-grounding the queer heterogeneous narrative themes, techniques and multimedia dimension of Clavel’s oeuvre, the aim of this monograph is to attest to her particular contribution to Hispanic letters, which arguably is as significant as that of more established Spanish American boom femenino women writers.

ADAPTED VOICESTranspositions of Céline’s Voyage au bout de la nuit and Queneau’s Zazie dans le métroBy Armelle Blin-Rolland

Voyage au bout de la nuit (1932), by Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894-1961), and Zazie dans le métro (1959), by Raymond Queneau (1903-1976), were two revolutionary novels in their transposition of spoken language into written language. Since their publication they have been adapted into a broad range of media, including illustrated novel, bande dessinée, film, stage performance and recorded reading. In this study, Armelle Blin-Rolland examines adaptations sparked by these two seminal novels to understand what ‘voice’ means in each medium, and its importance in the process of adaptation.

CARAVAGGIO IN FILM AND LITERATUREPopular Culture’s Appropriation of a Baroque GeniusBy Laura Rotaro

Although fictional responses to Caravaggio date back to the painter’s lifetime (1571-1610), it was during the second half of the twentieth century that interest in him took off outside the world of art history. In this new monograph, the first book-length study of Caravaggio’s recent impact, Rorato provides a panoramic overview of his appropriation by popular culture. The extent of the Caravaggio myth, and its self-perpetuating nature, are brought out by a series of case studies involving authors and directors from numerous countries and literary and filmic texts from a number of genres.

This book offers the reader a tool to address the largely still uncharted territory of contemporary migration literature. In addition to presenting and commenting on the production of the prolific writer Helen Barolini, author Margherita Ganeri nurtures her ambition to investigate one of the questions running through the debate on the relationship between literary writing and socio-cultural groups: namely, the possibility to define literature, in particular Italian American literature, on the basis of ethnicity. The book includes a preface by Melania G. Mazzucco and an exclusive excerpt of Helen Barolini’s forthcoming book Visits.

REGARDING MANNEKEN PISCulture, Celebration and Conflict in BrusselsBy Catherine Emerson

The Manneken Pis has stood on the same Brussels street corner since at least the mid-fifteenth century. Since there is no consensus on its meaning, it has been used to express many different readings of social relations in a complex city and nation state. Drawing on archives, histories, police reports, devotional literature, ephemera and a wealth of other sources, Catherine Emerson examines how one smaller-than-lifesized water source has come to embody a certain sort of Brussels identity.


REWRITING LES MYSTÈRES DE PARISThe Mystères Urbains and the PalimpsestBy Amy Wigelsworth

Key works of popular fiction are often rewritten to capitalise on their success. But what are the implications of this rewriting process? Such is the question addressed by this detailed study of several rewritings of Eugène Sue’s Mystères de Paris (1842-43), produced in the latter half of the nineteenth century, in response to the phenomenal success of Sue’s archetypal urban mystery. Pursuing a compelling analogy between city and text, and exploring the resonance of the palimpsest trope to both, Amy Wigelsworth argues that the mystères urbains are exemplary rewritings, which shed new light on contemporary reading and writing practices, and emerge as early avatars of a genre still widely consumed and enjoyed in the 21st century.

FONTANE AND CULTURAL MEDIATIONTranslation and Reception in Nineteenth-Century German LiteratureBy Ritchie Robertson & Michael White

This collection of essays by thirteen eminent literary scholars and historians is intended to correct this prejudice: it demonstrates that literary life and production in the nineteenth century were governed by complex networks of intercultural exchange, influence and translation.

GERMAN NARRATIVES OF BELONGINGWriting Generation and Place in the Twenty-First CenturyBy Linda Shortt

Since unification, German culture has experienced a boom in discourses on generation, family and place. Investigating twenty-first century narratives Shortt examines how the desire to belong is repeatedly unsettled by disturbances of lineage and tradition. In this way, she combines an analysis of supermodernity with an enquiry into German memory contests on the National Socialist era, 1968 and 1989 that continue to shape identity in the Berlin Republic. Exploring a spectrum of narratives that range from agitated disavowals of place to romances of belonging, this study illuminates the topography of belonging in contemporary Germany.

YVAN GOLLThe Thwarted Pursuit of the WholeBy Robert Vilain

The life of the bilingual writer Yvan Goll (1891-1950) was one of perpetual experimentation and self-renewal. In the first study to treat Goll’s whole literary career, Robert Vilain explores the full range of his poetry, novels, dramas, libretti, essays, translations and editions – from Expressionism in pre-war Berlin and fisticuffs with André Breton over Surrealism in post-war Paris, to the dream of a new poetry for the atomic age. Born into a Jewish family on the Franco-German border, at home all over Europe until forced into exile, and at his death an American citizen, Goll both suffered and relished his protean identity, living and writing in search of an elusive experience of wholeness.

GOETHE’S POETRY AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF NATUREGott und Welt 1798-1827By Regina Sachers

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, philosophy and theology come under increasing pressure owing to the emergence of the modern sciences. The collection Gott und Welt is Goethe’s poetic contribution to this conflict, in which an alternative to orthodox Christianity was being sought. Following the collection’s various stages of composition and publication, this study offers new readings of some of Goethe’s best known poems. Sachers shows that Gott und Welt is the long poem on nature which Goethe attempted to write for the last third of his life. As such it represents Goethe’s unique answers to the intellectual challenges posed by the dawning age of science.

ALGERNON SWINBURNE AND WALTER PATERVictorian Aestheticism, Doubt and SecularisationBy Sara Lyons

How did literary aestheticism emerge in Victorian Britain, with its competing models of religious doubt and visions of secularisation? For Lyons, the aestheticism developed and progressively revised by Algernon Charles Swinburne and Walter Pater illuminates the contradictory impulses of modern secularism: on the one hand, a desire to cast itself as a form of neutrality; on the other, a desire to affirm ‘this world’ as the place of human flourishing or even enchantment.

Whiteley’s groundbreaking book places Wilde’s texts into their philosophical context in order to show how he broke from his peers, and in particular from idealism, and challenges recent neo-historicist readings of Wilde which seem content to limit his irruptive power. Using the concept of the simulacrum to resituate Wilde’s work in relation to both his precursors and his contemporaries, this study reads Wilde through Deleuze and postmodern philosophical commentary on the simulacrum.

JOHN RUSKIN’S CONTINENTAL TOUR, 1835The Written Records and DrawingsEdited by Keith Hanley & Caroline S. Hull

The cultural tours that John Ruskin made with his family provided the crucial focus for developing his interests, and the second extended tour of the Continent in 1835 at the age of sixteen in particular established the paradigm for his orchestrated representation and analysis of cultural experience along ‘the old road’, though France to Chamonix, and through the Swiss Alps to northern Italy as far as Venice. His diary of the journey and associated writings, and the numerous drawings he made in relation to it, are annotated and fully catalogued for the first time in this edition that includes maps and an introductory essay.

SAMUEL BUTLER AGAINST THE PROFESSIONALSRethinking Lamarckism 1860-1900By David Gillott

In the first monograph devoted to Butler’s ideas for over twenty years, David Gillott offers a much-needed reappraisal of Butler’s work and shows how Lamarckian ideas pervaded the whole of Butler’s wide-ranging ouevre, and not merely his evolutionary theory. In particular, he argues that Lamarckism was the foundation on which Butler’s attempt to undermine professional authority in a variety of disciplines was based. It provides new insight into a fascinating but often misunderstood writer, and on the surprisingly broad application of Lamarckian ideas in the decades following publication of the Origin of Species.

THE REINVENTION OF THEATRE IN SIXTEENTH-CEN-TURY EUROPETraditions, Texts and PerformanceEdited by T. F. Earle & Catarina Fouto

The sixteenth century was an exciting period in the history of European theatre. In the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, France, Germany and England, writers and actors experimented with new dramatic techniques and found new publics. The popular theatre of the Middle Ages gave endless material for reinvention by playwrights, and the legacy of the ancient world became a spur to creativity, in tragedy and comedy. These and other issues are explored by a group of international experts from a comparative perspective, giving particular emphasis to one of the great European comic dramatists, the Portuguese Gil Vicente.

The first part of Goethe’s dramatic poem Faust (1808), one of the great works of German literature, grabbed the attention of Byron and Percy Shelley in the 1810s, engaging them in a shared fascination. In this comparative study, Ben Hewitt explores the links between Faust and Byron’s and Shelley’s works, connecting Goethe and the two English Romantic poets in terms of their differing, intricately related experiments with epic.


LEOPARDI AND SHELLEYDiscovery, Translation and ReceptionBy Daniela Cerimonia

Giacomo Leopardi and Percy Bysshe Shelley crossed paths during their lifetimes, and though they never met, the legacy of their work betrays a shared destiny. Cerimonia’s study brings together these two poets for the first time, through a reading of hitherto unstudied translations. This journey tells the story of the two poets’ critical fortune, and examines their position in the cultural debates of the nineteenth century.

DOSTOEVSKY AND THE EPILEPTIC MODE OF BEINGBy Paul Fung

For Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-81), who lived with epileptic seizures for more than thirty years, illness is an ineradicable part of existence. Drawing on insights from writers including Benjamin, Blanchot, Freud, Lacan and Nietzsche, the book takes epilepsy as a trope for discussing the unspeakable moments in the texts, and is intended for students and scholars who are interested in the subject of modernity, critique of the visual, and dialogues between philosophy and literature.

SAINT CHRISTOPHERA NovellaBy José Maria de Eça de Queirós, Gregory Rabassa, Earl E. Fitz & Carlos Reis

Set in the Middle Ages but written in the early twentieth century, Eça de Queirós’s novella is a powerful indictment of those who profess the value of morality but who do not practice it. The narrative is just as relevant today—when issues of religion, hypocrisy, and social justice abound—as it was when it first appeared in 1912.

LISTEN & OTHER STORIESBy Liam Callanan

Listen is a book where characters ask readers to do just that: listen to their stories, especially because many aren’t the type of people who often get listened to – even though they should. These characters’ trials, missed connections, and sundry challenges are full of surprises – some good, some bad, some funny, some wise, and some all this at once. Perhaps most surprising of all, there’s tenderness here and a lot of heart – which often gets the collection’s characters into a lot of trouble.

A study of the tradition and practice of early Arabic poetry, this book provides an investigation of the multiple versions of early poems that exist in various Abbasid collections.

CHATURMAN RAIHimalayan Folk-Photographer and Film-MakerBy Martino Nicoletti

In a remote Himalayan village without electricity or running water, young Chaturman, a shepherd and peasant belonging to the Tibeto-Burmese ethnic group of the Kulunge, has cultivated for many years a passion for photography. Chaturman has been able to appreciate this distant art thanks to the encounter with many itinerant photographers: enigmatic characters that, not until recently, passed through the farthest villages of Nepal as nomad professional photographers. Self-taught and a total experimenter, Chaturman develops his work with rudimental materials, always pressed by everyday necessities. In spite of this, his gaze fixes on one of the most remote and seductive corners of Asia. The resulting images take the surreal to its very limits.

KATHMANDULessons of DarknessBy Martino Nicoletti

Based on a series of series of long-term artistic investigations carried out by the author in Nepal between 2006 and 2012, the book is a poetical depiction of the contemporary metropolis of Kathmandu. Created thanks to a combination of creative writing and photography, the work—absolutely the first on this original subject—is composed by a large series of poetical texts, excerpts from author’s travel journal and a wide selection of B/W photographs taken during the various sojourns in Kathmandu.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON TWO SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS IN NEPALBy Giuseppe Tucci

Even Tucci, who has made five or six expeditions in Nepal, thought it was a difficult country. He wrote that “Nepal is one of the most diverse and complex countries in Asia: rich in colour, but also in suffering.” A book in which a great anthropologist and scholar of Oriental studies glimpses, in the Nepal of the 1950s, all the ambiguities of this most elusive country.

TIBETAN PAINTED SCROLLSPart 1By Giuseppe Tucci

Giuseppe Tucci was the most complete scholar of Oriental disciplines Italy has ever had, and also legendary across Asia as one of the finest Tibetanologists. Volume I of Tibetan Painted Scrolls is a survey of five hundred years of Tibetan cultural and religious history. Here professor Tucci delineates different Buddhist lineages, their monuments and their traditions, giving a general survey of Vajrayana Buddhism.


TIBETAN PAINTED SCROLLSPart 2By Giuseppe Tucci

Volume II contains detailed descriptions of the 195 thangkas. There is a tremendous wealth of information on their iconography and on the history of Tibetan and Indian Buddhism; as well as reference to Buddhist texts, and several translations of inscriptions on the illustrated thangkas. Bolstered by a large number of paintings and illustrations, Tucci’s analysis moves skillfully across the disciplines of iconology, iconography, hagiography, history, sociology and linguistics.


THE TOMBS OF TIBETAN KINGSBy Giuseppe Tucci

Giuseppe Tucci tells of the funereal culture of the ancient Tibetan civilisation, born on the “roof of the world”. During his multiple expeditions in Tibet, he had the opportunity to visit personally the tombs of their ancient kings and, in this book, he reports with a great wealth of detail their structural, aesthetic and symbolic characteristics.

TIBETAN FOLK SONGS FROM GYANTSE AND WESTERN TIBETBy Giuseppe Tucci

In 1949, after his eighth exploration in Tibet, Giuseppe Tucci published a collection and translation of local folk songs, which is presented here. Echoing through the streets of Gyantse and the valleys of the Western Tibet, these collected folk songs are perhaps Tucci’s most “romantic” work. They make transparent, besides the usual scientific rigour, Tucci’ great passion for his beloved Tibet.

Blood Red Roses

The Archaeology of a Mass Grave from the Battle of Towton AD 1461

Foreword by Robert Hardy

edited by Veronica Fiorato, Anthea Boylstonand Christopher Knüsel

The Batt le of Towton in North Yorkshire, fought during the Wars of the Roses,

was reputedly the bloodiest batt le ever seen on English soil. In 1996 a mass grave of soldiers was discovered there by chance. This was the catalyst for a multi-disciplinary research project, still unique in Britain ten years after the initial discovery, which included a study of the skeletal remains, the batt le eld landscape, the historical evidence and contemporary arms and armour. The discoveries were dramatic and moving; the individuals had clearly suff ered traumatic deaths and subsequent research highlighted the oft en multiple wounds each individual had received before and, in some cases, aft er they had died. As well as the exciting forensic work the project also revealed much about medieval weaponry and ghting. Blood Red Roses contains all the information about this fascinating discovery, as well as discussing its wider historical, heritage and archaeological implications. The second edition features new chapters by a re-enactor and a history teacher, which apply the research from the initial study to produce a veritable ‘living history’.

OIL, ICE & BONEArctic Whaler Nathaniel RansomBy Helen Hiller Frink

In 1871 Ransom survived the loss of thirty-two whaling vessels in the frigid waters off Alaska’s Icy Cape. With him he carried a journal – and kept it, as he and his shipmates jettisoned weapons and warm clothing to save their very lives. His eyewitness account of whaling’s brutal slaughter and sudden losses is enriched by the author’s affection for an ancestor she discovered through his journals a century after his death.

THE LIVES OF ROBERT RYANBy J.R. Jones

Provides an inside look at the gifted, complex, intensely private man whom Martin Scorsese called “one of the greatest actors in the history of American film.” Ryan created a gallery of brooding, neurotic, and violent characters in such movies as Bad Day at Black Rock. At the same time, Ryan’s marriage to a liberal Quaker and his own sense of conscience launched him into a tireless career of peace and civil rights activism that stood in direct contrast to his screen persona.

Oliver Hilmes has provided us with an even-handed yet tantalizingly detailed account of her life, bringing Alma’s singular story to a whole new audience.

AGNÈS VARDA UNLIMITEDImage, Music, MediaEdited by Marie-Claire Barnet

In her ever-evolving career, the legendary filmmaker Agnès Varda has gone from being a photographer at the Avignon festival in the late 1940s, through being a director celebrated at the Cannes festival (Cléo de 5 à 7, 1962), to her more ironic self-proclaimed status as a ‘jeune artiste plasticienne’. These essays discuss not just when, but also how and why, Varda’s renewed artistic forms have ignited with such creative force, and have been so inspiring an influence.

THE CINEMA OF ERROL MORRISBy David Resha

Offers close analyses of the director’s films — from box office successes like The Thin Blue Line to Morris’s early works like Vernon, and controversial films like Standard Operating Procedure. Film scholar David Resha’s reappraisal of Morris’s films allows us to rethink the traditional distinction between stylistically conservative documentaries, which are closely invested in evidence and reality, and stylistically adventurous films, which artfully call to question such claims of nonfiction and truth. Morris does not fit neatly in this division of the documentary tradition.

DON’T CALL IT JAZZThe European Impro-music ExperienceBy Giancarlo Schiaffini

Don’t Call it Jazz is a brilliant essay focused on the practices and methods of interpreting improvisation, which sheds light both on the difficulty to define it and on its conspicuous presence, even in musical genres not explicitly improvised. A participant himself, Schiaffini deals exhaustively with the different ways of living total improvisation—collectively, individually, informally, traditionally—in its various idiomatic contexts.

LEONARDO’S ANATOMY: “DRAW AND DESCRIBE”By Paola Salvi

The anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci may be viewed in the light of contemporary knowledge and ideas without considering the full value and the novelty of their intended visualization. In this volume, centred on the contexts and methods of visualization, Paola Salvi looks at the theory and practice of the visual arts as the foundation of Leonardo’s anatomical drawings. Direct observation and the communicative value of visual language replace the tedious and scarcely useful verbal descriptions of anatomical texts of the time. This volume is the basis of a new historical framework for artistic anatomy and for the anatomical iconography which finds models of reconstruction which have come into their own right, in the works of Leonardo. English language edition.

MATTIA PRETISaints and Heroes for the Knights of MaltaBy Cynthia De Giorgio

This book explores and investigates the importance of saints and heroes to the Knights of Malta. Mattia Preti’s corpus of paintings was selected as it is one of the most significant collections of narrative paintings depicting saints and heroes that received the devotion of the Knights of Malta between 1658 and 1698. The iconography of the saints and heroes brings to light their stories and legends, some well-known, others completely forgotten, in a world of ever-changing cultural diversity. The book is organised, where possible, in the chronology of Preti’s production. All the paintings cited in this book have been personally studied and examined.

THE YARNWINDER MADONNA OF LEONARDO DA VINCIThe Three Versions for his First French CommissionBy Carlo Pedretti & Margherita Melani

In April 1501 Leonardo da Vinci was in Florence, working on a “small painting”, a Madonna and Child intent on yarn-winding, destined for Florimond Robertet. This information is gleaned from a letter by Fra Pietro da Novellara. It was only in the 20th century that the subject described in the letter was recognized for what it was in numerous copies, variations and school replicas. Here Pedretti and Melani reconstruct the genesis of the theme of the Madonna of the Yarnwinder and the artistic fortune of the subject. Italian and English text.

JOHN OLSENDrawing – The Human TouchBy John Olsen & Ken McGregor

This richly illustrated publication represents the author’s attempt to locate as many of John Olsen’s drawings as possible and Macmillan’s determination to reproduce them in a book which will serve as a companion to our previous monographs on the artist’s prints and paintings. Olsen is an artist who believes drawing to be the fundamental skill of artistic production and whose artworks, whether paintings, prints or drawings, indicate a keen sense of observation of human and animal behaviour translated into lively and sometimes humorous compositions dependent on the drawn line. He is a living legend on the Australian art scene. This book will inform and amuse as it reiterates the importance of drawing.

LOUISA WATERFORD AND JOHN RUSKIN‘For you have not Falsely Praised’By Caroline Ings-Chambers

Louisa Waterford (1818-91), modest, retiring, of good family, renowned for her beauty, and with extraordinary grace, was the embodiment of a Victorian ideal of womanhood. But like the age itself, her life was filled with contrasts and paradoxes. She had been born with artistic gifts, and became a satellite of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, though she had no formal training. Then, at the height of John Ruskin’s intellectual power and success as a critic, she asked him to accept her as an art student, and he accepted. Their correspondence — often harshly critical, never, as Waterford put it, falsely praising — lies at the heart of this book.

THE ART OF THE INGE KINGSculptorBy Sasha Grishin

This publication surveys the life’s work of an artist who arrived in Australia in the early 1950s having already undertaken art studies in Germany, England and Scotland. She had also travelled to America to witness, first hand, post-war developments in the New York art world. The extravagantly illustrated book attempts to document the majority of the artist’s sculptures and works on paper produced over her decades in this country. Included for special consideration are sections on King’s major public commissions such as Forward Surge at the Victorian Arts Centre. This book is intended to be a singularly comprehensive coverage of the artist’s iconographic and stylistic development and a record of her creative life dedicated to the art of sculpture.

Much has been said and written on Bertolucci. Yet, whoever has worked with him on the set has still a lot more to tell. This is a book from the heart, but also dense with unpublished documents, unique images and the history of Italian cinema. Professionals who have lived the sets of the great director provide a novel portrayal of his style and extraordinary humanity. Through their perspective, filled with anecdotes unknown to the greater public, the book penetrates the work of the most international of Italian directors. In the text there are also rare and unseen photographs, never published before, as well as letters and notebooks. The book opens with a long unpublished interview with Bertolucci.

THE ITALIAN METHOD OF LA DRAMMATICAIts Legacy and ReceptionEdited by Anna Sica

This volume contains an investigation that seeks to identify the Italian acting code system of “la drammatica”, used by nineteenth century Italian actors such as Adelaide Ristori and Eleonora Duse. Having deciphered the phonetic symbols of the code, Anna Sica has given rise, together with a group of outstanding scholars, to an investigation that attempts to explore drammatica’s legacy, and its reception in Europe and Asia. By noting how Adelaide Ristori passed on her art to Irving’s actress Genevieve Ward, and how Stanislavsky, almost aflame, moulded his system from Duse’s acting, an unexplored variety in the reception of drammatica’s legacy is revealed.

This book focuses on contemporary wars and their aftermath as perceived by war artists Lyndell Brown, Charles Green and Jon Cattapan. This book serves as a compendium of both their study of contemporary war art literature and their experiences as war artists in the troubled regions of Iraq, Afghanistan and Timor-Leste. Poignant and often frightening fragments of vision are brought together in richly detailed panoramas which evoke the terrifying atmosphere of human combat. As a publication, Framing Conflict provides another telling example of how the vision of artists contributes to an understanding of human nature and its problems.

THE LIVING LINEModern Art and the Economy of EnergyBy Robin Veder

Robin Veder’s The Living Line is a radical reconceptualization of the development of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century American modernism. The author illuminates connections among the histories of modern art, body cultures, and physiological aesthetics in early-twentieth-century American culture, fundamentally altering our perceptions about art and the physical, and the degree of cross-pollination in the arts. In a series of interconnected case studies, Veder demonstrates that diverse modernists associated with the Armory Show, the Société Anonyme, the Stieglitz circle, and the Barnes Foundation participated in these discourses and practices and that “kin-aesthetic modernism” greatly influenced the formation of modern art in America and beyond.

CURTAINS?The Future of the Arts in AmericaBy Michael M. Kaiser

Michael M. Kaiser assesses the current state of arts institutions – orchestras; opera, ballet, modern dance, and theater companies; and even museums. According to Kaiser, new developments in the twenty-first century, including the Internet explosion, economic instability, the focus on STEM education in schools, the erosion of newspapers, and the aging of the donor base have together created tremendous challenges for all arts organizations. Kaiser concludes with a call to arms. He advocates risk-taking in programming and more creative marketing, and details what needs to happen—strong donor bases, creating effective boards, and collective action—to sustain the performing arts for future generations.

SHEDSBy Howard Mansfield & Joanna Eldredge Mor-rissey

“A shed is the shortest line between need and shelter,” writes Howard Mansfield. Drawing on material from his recent book Dwelling in Possibility, Mansfield explores the different types of sheds found around New England and beyond: covered bridges, barns, worksheds, “worship sheds” (meeting houses), extended farmhouses, bob houses for ice fishing. In lyrical style Mansfield shows the connection between the design of these structures and their roles in our lives.

TREES IN TOWNS AND CITIESA History of British Urban ArboricultureBy Mark Johnston

This is the first book on the history of trees in Britain’s towns and cities and the people who have planted and cared for them.

It is written by an internationally renowned arboriculturist who combines a passion for trees with a sound understanding of British social and cultural history.

ARCADIAN VISIONSPastoral Influences on Poetry, Painting and the Design of LandscapeBy Allan R. Ruff

This book is about Arcadia and the pastoral tradition. Arcadian Visions provides an alternative landscape history for all those involved with the landscape – either through its design, management, use or enjoyment. It begins by examining the origins of Arcadia and the pastoral in the classical poetry of Theocritus and Virgil, and the effects of, and on, Christianity before outlining its development in renaissance Italy and subsequently in the Netherlands, America and England. It concludes by looking at how arcadian ecology is bringing about a re-appraisal of the pastoral in the 21st century.

NORTH DOWNS LANDSCAPESBy Doug Kennedy

The North Downs are a range of hills that run east-west from the south-east tip of England, at Dover in Kent, to Farnham in Surrey.

The core of this book are beautiful full-page colour photographs illustrating the beauty and distinctive landscapes of the Downs.

Based on an eighteenth-century literary device in which a group of friends undertake a walking tour and discuss a certain subject, this wide-ranging story emerges from the author’s fifteen-mile bushwhack through woods, backyards, and marshes—from a hilltop in Westford, Massachusetts, to the town of Concord, Massachusetts—trespassing all along the way.

CHILDREN AND YIDDISH LITERATUREFrom Early Modernity to Post-ModernityEdited by Gennady Estraikh, Kerstin Hoge, & Mikhail Krutikov

• A pioneering collective study not only of Yiddish children’s literature but of the role played by children in literatureChildren have occupied a prominent place in Yiddish literature since early modern times, but children’s literature as a genre has its beginnings in the early 20th century. Its emergence reflected the desire of Jewish intellectuals to introduce modern forms of education, and promote ideological agendas, both in Eastern Europe and in immigrant communities elsewhere. Prominent authors such as Yankev Glatshteyn, Der Nister, Joseph Opatoshu, Leyb Kvitko, made original contributions to the genre, while artists, such as Marc Chagall, El Lissitzky and Yisakhar Ber Rybak, also took an active part. Yiddish children’s literature is still being produced today, both for secular and strongly Orthodox communities.

HOW FAR SHOULD TOLERATION GO?By Yves Charles Zarka

• Advances a new and totally political vision, capable of opening new routes for dialogue amongst culturesWhat are the limits of toleration in constitutional or liberal democracies today? The question is important, for if there were no limits to toleration it would destroy itself by accepting the intolerable. The concept of toleration has to be re-elaborated from a political point of view, i.e. in such a way that its achievement does not suppose any moral mutation in humanity. So we have to show how toleration is possible for societies and for people as they are. In a time of demands touching on cultural identities and rights, in a time of fundamentalist religious affirmation, what can democracies accept and what must they refuse? This is one of the major questions tackled in this new treatise on toleration.

INAPPROPRIABILITY OF THE EARTHBy Yves Charles Zarka

• An appeal to humanity, hoping it becomes conscious of the extent to which its own destiny depends on its own capacity to re-establish a more balanced relationship with EarthThe Earth is not simply the terrestrial globe; it is also fundamentally the habitable world. By continuously destroying the Earth, mankind is destroying itself. It has become urgent for us to change. Many things have been said and written on other possible developments, but what has been missing is a principle which could give an account of the philosophical shift we need to make. Such is the purpose of this book, which aims to rethink our being in its relation to others, to humanity and the living world through the concept of inappropriability.

SPECULATIVE ART HISTORIESEdited by Sjoerd van Tuinen

• Following the recent ‘speculative turn’ in continental philosophy, the aim of this volume is to propose a ‘counter-discourse’ of speculative approaches to art historyHow could today’s materialist, realist, pragmatist, vitalist or object-oriented speculations offer alternatives to the mere complementarity of philosophy of art and art history, often based on mutual recognition and critical limitation rather than imaginative crossovers? What new intermedial methodologies do they provide for art and art historical writing? Can art history experience a work of art in its novelty beyond its historical facticity? Does the speculative turn open up new ways of extending art into fields of biology and mathematics?



THE SENSIBLE INVISIBLEItineraries in Aesthetic OntologyBy Roberto Diodato

• Interrogates the ontological and metaphysical sense of aesthetic experienceThe itineraries suggested in this book interrogate the ontological and metaphysical sense of aesthetic experience, understood as the primary experience, in which our complexity as human beings is invested by the world and manifests itself. Readers will find two different yet convergent intentions. The first develops Merleau-Ponty’s concept of the flesh-element towards an ontology of virtuality. The second, predominantly aesthetico-metaphysical, takes the entity’s force of being in the aesthetico-linguistic experience of deixis, and tries to show the work of the aesthetic logos as a condition of possibility for meta-empirical inference.

MINOR BUDDHIST TEXT By Giuseppe Tucci

• At the centre of this research is the mystery surrounding the life of Buddha, his fame and the achievements of his acolytes.We don’t even know his real name, only the appellative by which he was designated: Buddha, “the awakened one”. At the centre of this research, conducted by great expert on Buddhism and Oriental religions, Giuseppe Tucci, is the mystery surrounding the life of Buddha, his fame and the achievements of his acolytes. The work here presented contains Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan texts, each with a summary, introduction, captions and other key tools in English. It reveals the depth and humanity of a philosophy and practice central still now all over the world, and whose origins are lost in the mists of time.



PHILIPPE LACOUE-LABARTHE(Un)timely MeditationsBy John McKeane

• An accessible and comprehensive account of thinker Lacoue-LabarthePhilippe Lacoue-Labarthe (1940-2007) was a professor of philosophy, and also a poet, a translator and a playwright. His life and work were dedicated to the philosophical and political movements of the post-1968 era, from his communal life together with Jean-Luc Nancy to his collaborations with Jacques Derrida. These movements also carried him towards disparate modes of writing such as poetry and theatre. The tension between Lacoue-Labarthe’s timely and untimely meditations governs the approach in this study, the first to attempt an accessible and comprehensive account of this forceful thinker.

THE SCALES OF OUR EYESThe Scope of Leftist ThoughtBy Joshua Johnson

• Critically examines the contrasting demands of accelerationist politics with those forms of leftist thought limited by localismIt has often become dogmatic in the left to favour tactics over strategy, the local over the global. Yet, any leftist project truly seeking to propose a post-capitalist world must contend with the forces of complexity, abstraction and globalism of contemporary capitalism, not to mention its ease with developing technologies. Accelerationism contrasts itself to localist forms of leftist organization in calling for a global strategy which will unite the tools of modern technocratic governmentality and economic management with a hegemonic class coalition, and a clear demand for the future shorn of the capitalist labor system.

Calling up an indiscriminate range of thinkers and artists—philosophers, composers, photographers, filmmakers, poets—the resultant montage repeatedly abandons the reader to an empty, incriminating, theatre.

The Middle Notebookes began in French, as three carnets, written in keeping with three stages of an illness: an onset and remission, a recurrence and further recurrence, a death and the after of that death. But the narrative only became evident subsequently; the malady identified by these texts was foremost a literary one, fastened to a body whose concealment had become, not only untenable, but perhaps, in a sense, murderous.

What began as wild land controlled periodically by various Native American tribes became British crown land after 1654, then private property under US law, and finally common land again in the late twentieth century. Mitchell considers every aspect of the important issue of land ownership.

His replacement had no head coaching experience. Due to past academic problems, UConn was barred from postseason play in 2013, and largely because of this, several top players left the program.

The following season, when they won the 2014 title, theirs became one of the great comeback stories in all of sports.
