Henry Hudson in Holland: An inquiry into the origin and objects of the voyage which led to the discovery of the Hudson River

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Four centuries ago, English explorer Henry Hudson (1570-1611), commanding the yacht Halve Maen for the Dutch East India Company, sailed into a New World tidal estuary near the landmass the local Lenape Indians called the `island of many hills.` The island was Manhattan, and though Hudson was unlikely the first European to see the river, it has been forever after that known by his name. American politician and historian HENRY CRUSE MURPHY (1810-1882) was serving as United States Minister at The Hague when he privately published this 1859 monograph. A significant early treatise on Hudson`s voyages, it collects all the original documents known to exist about Hudson`s third voyage-the one in which he sailed up what is now called the Hudson River-and explores the `motives, purposes, and character` of the Dutch East India Company and `the designs of the navigator himself at the time he sailed upon that expedition,` the author says in his preface. Hard to find in print, this replica… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Four centuries ago, English explorer Henry Hudson (1570-1611), commanding the yacht *Halve Maen* for the Dutch East India Company, sailed into a New World tidal estuary near the landmass the local Lenape Indians called the `island of many hills.` The island was Manhattan, and though Hudson was unlikely the first European to see the river, it has been forever after that known by his name. This classic and hard-to-find 1909 work is a primer biography of Hudson, drawn from authoritative sources, focusing on his multiple voyages of exploration and featuring extracts from ships` logs recording the journeys. It also includes then newly discovered documents that recount the trial of the mutineers who, two years after his discovery of the Hudson River, set the navigator-along with other crew members including his teenage son-adrift in an icy bay in what is now northern Canada, never to be heard from again. Complete with all the charming etchings from the 1909 edition, this replica is… [detailed...]

Description: This book examines the relationship between the writings of Henry James and the historical formation of mass culture. Throughout his career, James was concerned with such characteristically modern cultural forms as advertising, biography, and the new journalism. Richard Salmon`s study situates James`s fiction and criticism within the context of the contemporary debates surrounding these rival discursive practices. He explores both the nature of James`s contribution to the critique of mass culture and offers a reassessment of the politics of James`s cultural criticism. [detailed...]

Henry James: Novels 1896-1899 (Library of America)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis fourth volume in the Library of America edition of the complete novels of Henry James contains the four novels he wrote after a failed attempt to forge a career as a playwright on the London stage. Together they mark the beginning ofthe brilliant period in the novelist`s career known as the late phase. The Other House (1896) shows James incorporating an act of murder into the heart of his narrative. Long neglected, the novel is a fascinating glimpse into a very different side of Henry James, as he explores the violent implications of jealousy and possessiveness. In The Spoils of Poynton (1897), the artworks conserved in the manor house of the title become the object of a protracted power struggle between the mother and the fiancee of the heir to the house. The struggle, in this most tightly constructed of James`s late novels, hinges ultimately on the sensitivities of a third woman. What Maisie Knew (1897) recounts the… [detailed...]

Description: This volume brings together The Sacred Fount (1901), one of Henry James`s most unusual experiments, and The Wings of the Dove (1902), one of his most beloved masterpieces and the novel that inaugurated the majestic and intricate `late phase` of his literary career. Writing to his friend William Dean Howells, James characterized The Sacred Fount , the only one of his novels to be told in the first person, as `a fine flight into the high fantastic.` While traveling to the country house of Newmarch for a weekend party, the nameless narrator becomes obsessed with the idea that a person may become younger or cleverer by tapping the `sacred fount` of another person. Convinced that Grace Brissenden has become younger by drawing upon her husband, Guy, the narrator seeks to discover the source of the newfound wit of Gilbert Long, previously `a fine piece of human furniture.` His perplexing and ambiguous quest, and the varying reactions it provokes from the other guests,… [detailed...]

Henry Moore: Human Landscapes

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWho amongst us has never though, especially while lying somewhere in a rolling countryside, that the natural landscape and the human figure share much of their forms? Henry Moore, the celebrated English sculptor, created a century-spanning oeuvre that perfectly illustrates his comment, `knees and breasts are mountains.` The human figure and the landscape were two of his enduring fascinations, and he successfully combined them in such sculptural works as Woman (1957-58) and Reclining Figure: Hand (1979), wherein he related the female form to undulating hills. The multiple-piece compositions that he began in 1959 break the figure down more dramatically into separate monumental masses resembling rock formations. The transformation of the body into landscape is not restricted to Moore`s three-dimensional work but also appears in drawings such as Mountain (Reclining Woman) (1982) and Rock Form (1979). In his works on paper, Moore?s viewpoint… [detailed...]

Henry Moore

2009 y.
Publisher: Prestel
Description: The works of Henry Moore are a familiar presence in cities throughout the world. Conceived from the outset in terms of outdoor settings, his sculptures blend landscape forms and those of the human figure in an unmistakably personal way. Even before the Second World War, Moore came to be regarded as the most important sculptor working in Britain, he now ranks as one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. This book presents an unfamiliar view of Moore. Focusing on his wood and stone carvings, plasters and drawings, it examines the working processes that resulted in his well-known monumental public sculptures. Of no less importance were the drawings Moore made throughout his career, a generous selection of which is included here. Along with 120 colour plates, commentary by curators of the Henry Moore Foundation, essays by Moore experts and an illustrated chronology, this volume allows for a uniquely intimate glimpse of a major artist at work.

Henry More, 1614-1687 : A Biography of the Cambridge Platonist (International Archives of the History of Ideas / Archives internationales d`histoire des idees)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionHenry More (1614-1687), the Cambridge Platonist, is often presented as an elusive and contradictory figure. An early apologist for the new natural philosophy and its rational support for Christian doctrine, More also defended the existence of witchcraft and wrote extensively on the nature of the soul and the world of spirits. A vigorous and prolific controversialist against many varieties of contemporary `atheism` and `enthusiasm`, More was himself a spiritual perfectionist and illuminist, believing that the goal of the religious life was a conscious union with God. Until now, most biographies of More have ignored these, his own, preoccupations, and have made of him a rather eccentric but important illustrative figure in one of several larger narratives dominated by canonical figures like Descartes, Boyle, Spinoza or Newton. This is the first modern biography to place his own religious and philosophical preoccupations centre-stage, and to provide a coherent… [detailed...]

Henry V

— y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: The Wordsworth Classics` Shakespeare Series, with Henry V as its inaugural volume, presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare`s works. The textual editing endeavours to take account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. Henry V is the most famous and influential of Shakespeare`s history plays. Its powerful patriotic rhetoric has resounded down the ages, gaining eloquent expression in Laurence Olivier`s renowned film. Henry himself, astute and charismatic, who led his `band of brothers` to victory in the Battle of Agincourt, could indeed seem to be `this star of England`. In recent decades the play has attracted increasing critical attention and is now highly controversial. Kenneth Branagh`s film-production reflected the changing valuation. Does this play have a sceptical sub-text which subverts its patriotism? Is Henry`s achievement beset by irony? Has current scepticism distorted a predominantly and proudly… [detailed...]

Henry VIII Revealed: Holbein`s Portrait and Its Legcy

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe portly figure of Henry VIII depicted by Holbein may be very familiar, but this book reveals much more about the portrait, the sitter, the artist, and his workshop. It gathers together and analyzes the several copies and variants of Holbein?s Whitehall cartoon of Henry VIII, more than one of which is by the only significant painter immediately after Holbein in England, Hans Eworth. The book reveals for the first time the results of extensive technical analysis and historical research undertaken on surviving versions of the portrait in the Walker Art Gallery, Chatsworth, Petworth, Trinity College, Cambridge, and elsewhere. It throws light not only on Henry VIII but on the Tudor court and on courtiers who, for their own purposes, wished to keep his memory alive after his death. The book explores how and when the portraits were painted and the motivation behind their production and also traces how they affected subsequent portrayals of the monarch, down to… [detailed...]

Henry VIII and the Art of Majesty: Tapestries at the Tudor Court

Publisher: Paul Mellon Center BA
Description: Luxurious, beautiful, and portable, tapestry was the pre-eminent art form of the Tudor court. Henry VIII amassed an unrivaled collection over the course of his reign, and the author weaves the history of this magnificent collection into the life of its owner with an engaging narrative style. Now largely dispersed or destroyed, Henry`s extensive inventory is here reassembled and reveals how, through tapestry, Henry identified himself with historic, religious, and mythological figures, putting England in dialogue - and competition - with the leading courts of Early Modern Europe while promoting his own religious and political agendas at home. Campbell`s original account sheds new light on Tudor political and artistic culture and the court`s response to Renaissance aesthetic ideals. Sumptuously illustrated with newly commissioned photographs, this stunning re-creation of Europe`s greatest tapestry collection challenges the predominantly text-driven histories of the period and offers a… [detailed...]
