An Anthology of Pre-Raphaelite Writings

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hares-Stryker, Carolyn, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, Here, for the first time, is a panoramic overview of the most resonant work of the Pre-Raphaelite era in one handy volume. Combining well-known works with previously neglected materials, this ambitious anthology includes writing and art by such figures as the Rosettis, William Morris, John Ruskin, George Meredith, and Algernon Charles Swinburne. Organized chronologically, the book enables the reader to trace the most prominent artists and writers within each decade, revealing how their influence alternatively increased and waned over time and further how their work was received by Victorian critics, by turn friendly, satirical, and hostile. Replete with paintings, first-hand accounts of evens and personalities, and the Pre-Raphaelites' own reflections, in their diaries and letters, on this fertile era, the volume serves as a lyrical recreation of one of the most explosively productive moments in Western cultural history. Carolyn Hares-Stryker's introduction addresses the principles and origins of the movement, describing the social and political events that shaped the Pre-Raphaelites and the themes to which they returned again and again: social reform, religion, and its role in contemporary life, the allure of the past, and the fragility of utopia.

Fabulous Harbors

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moorcock, Michael, PUBLISHER: Avon Books, Award-winning author Michael moorcock continuously astonishes readers and critics alike with each new literary offering. Revered for his eloquent, lyrical prose, his work is a testament to the emotional power of words. "Fabulous Harbors" is the second of a three-book set, and is a bridge between the novels Blood and The War Amongst the Angels. Comprised of 11 interlocking tales, "Fabulous Harbors" takes the reader by the hand and guides him into and through Moorcock's spectacular expanding multiverse -- a luminously realized, richly layered world of fantastic invention and lovingly drawn characters. Here, in the comfort and peace of Sporting Club Square -- an obscure and perhaps magical corner of London that seems oddly immune to the normal effects of time -- Begg family patriarch Sir Sexton and various family members and friends gather to swap memories, anecdotes and dreams. Come, sit by the fire and listen to the continuing exploits of the brave Sam Oakenhurst, the mysterious and seductive Rose von Bek, old friend and adventure Jerry Cornelius and Elric, the brooding albino prince of ruins, among others. Haunting and compelling, "Fabulous Harbors" is an extraordinary achievement from a true star in the literary firmament.
