William Alwyn: The Art of Film Music

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionWilliam Alwyn was a leading composer of British film music in the 1940s and `50s, a time when the British film industry was at is peak. His scores ranged from documentaries to almost 80 full-length feature films, including classics such as Fires were Started, Desert Victory, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, and The History of Mr Polly, he was adept at any musical genre, from classical to cartoon slapstick, and in the process worked with legendary directors, including Carol Reed, David Lean, Humphrey Jennings, and Anthony Asquith. Alone with Vaughan Williams he was granted the distinction of a separate title credit, columnists mentioned him alongside Bliss, Bax and Walton. However, as the reputation of the British film industry declined in the 1950s, so musical snobbery against those who were its leading lights became unpleasantly raw. In recent years, however, with sensitive performances of his film and concert music available on CD, this most appealing of composers hasЕ [detailed...]

William Christenberry

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Since the early 1960s, William Christenberry has plumbed the regional identity of the American South through his work in Hale County, Alabama, where he was raised. Although he is most often associated with--and recognized as a pioneer in--American color photography, he also works in an unorthodox mix of media that includes sculpture, drawing, painting and found-object assemblage. This comprehensive survey of his work considers all those practices together, and in doing so gives readers access to the full scope and complexity of his vision. In every medium, ChristenberryA≠s theme is unified: the history, the story of place, is at the heart of his project. His poetic documentation of vernacular architecture, signage and landscape captures moments of quiet beauty in a sometimes mythic terrain that, with its worn iconography and buildings turned ramshackle, evokes the form and power of the passage of time. Since relocating to Washington, D.C., in 1968, Christenberry has dutifully returnedЕ [detailed...]

William Cowper
William Cowper (Fyfield Books)

2003 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionThe poems of William Cowper (1731-1800) are best known outside their literary context, as hymns or half-remembered popular ballads. This selection reveals the qualities that have made Cowper`s work enduringly loved: his gentle humor and detailed, delighted observations of the incidentals of everyday life, his intimate, conversational tone, his spiritual hunger. Beneath Cowper`s quiet gratitude for everyday pleasures, though, is a darker sense of loss, a longing for stability and calm. Hissense of the healing and life-affirming power of poetry gives them a profound humanity. Nick Rhodes` selection includes the finest of the short poems and substantial extracts from Cowper`s longer works, including The Task, the poem from which the Romantic poets took their bearings.

William Dean Howells : A Writer`s Life

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionPossibly the most influential figure in the history of American letters, William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was, among other things, a leading novelist in the realist tradition, a formative influence on many of America`s finest writers, andan outspoken opponent of social injustice. This biography, the first comprehensive work on Howells in fifty years, enters the consciousness of the man and his times, revealing a complicated and painfully honest figure who came of age in an era of political corruption, industrial greed, and American imperialism. Written with verve and originality in a highly absorbing style, it brings alive for a new generation a literary and cultural pioneer who played a key role in creating the American artistic ethos. William Dean Howells traces the writer`s life from his boyhood in Ohio before the Civil War, to his consularship in Italy under President Lincoln, to his rise as editor of Atlantic Monthly.

William Eggleston: Paris

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: For photographers, the city of Paris must constitute a genre of its own (alongside `nudes` or `botanical`), so perennially photogenic are its streets, skylines, storefronts and people. Here, William Eggleston--`The Father of Color Photography`--offers a brilliant, unusual take on Paris today, with depictions that completely revitalize our sense of this most picturesque of cities. Eggleston spent three years working throughout different seasons, to craft images that reveal surprising and rarely-seen facets of the city, as one might expect from the lens of a photographer most associated with the American South. Eggleston constructs with color--the brilliant yellow of a shop front, the intense blue of a street sign, the carnival colors on a merry-go-round--and of course with little gems of detail--plastic flowers in a shop window, a plastic bag or a woman`s supersaturated red shoes--locating effects that are simultaneously rustic and cosmopolitan, glamorous and gritty, everyday andЕ [detailed...]

William Empson: Against the Christians Volume II

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Following the acclaimed first volume, Among the Mandarins, this is the second and concluding volume of the authorized biography of William Empson, one of the foremost poets and literary critics of the twentieth century. Against the Christians begins during the Second World War and follows Empson`s turbulent years of writing wartime propaganda for the BBC. As Chinese Editor, he organised broadcasts to China and propaganda programmes for the Home Service, during which time his friends and colleagues included the prickly George Orwell. The effectiveness of Empson`s work for the BBC provoked the Nazi propagandist Hans Fritzsche to call him a `curly-headed Jew` -- a charge which gave him enormous satisfaction. In 1947 he returned to China, where he was caught up in the Communist siege of the Peking and witnessed Mao Tse-tung`s triumphant entry. `I was there for the honeymoon between the universities and the communists, we were being kept up to the mark rather firmly.` He saw `theЕ [detailed...]

Aiken, Charles S.
William Faulkner and the Southern Landscape (Center Books on the American South)

Publisher: Ч
Description: Charles S. Aiken, a native of Mississippi who was born a few miles from Oxford, has been thinking and writing about the geography of Faulkner s Yoknapatawpha County for more than thirty years. William Faulkner and the Southern Landscape is the culmination of that long-term scholarly project. It is a fresh approach to a much-studied writer and a provocative meditation on the relationship between literary imagination and place.Four main geographical questions shape Aiken`s journey to the family seat of the Compsons and the Snopeses. What patterns and techniques did Faulkner use--consciously or subconsciously--to convert the real geography of Lafayette County into a fictional space? Did Faulkner intend Yoknapatawpha to serve as a microcosm of the American South? In what ways does the historical geography of Faulkner s birthplace correspond to that of the fictional world he created? Finally, what geographic legacy has Faulkner left us through the fourteen novels he set inЕ [detailed...]

William Faulkner: Novels 1926-1929: Soldiers` Pay / Mosquitoes / Flags in the Dust / The Sound and the Fury (Library of America)

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: The Library of America edition of the novels of William Faulkner culminates with this volume presenting his first four, each newly edited, and, in many cases, restored with passages that were altered or (in the case of Mosquitoes) expurgated by the original publishers. This is Faulkner as he was meant to be read. In these four novels we can track Faulkner`s extraordinary evolution as, over the course of a few years, he discovers and masters the mode and matter of his greatest works. Soldiers` Pay (1926) expresses the disillusionment provoked by World War I through its account of the postwar experiences of homecoming soldiers, including a severely wounded R.A.F. pilot, in a style of restless experimentation. In Mosquitoes (1927), a raucous satire of artistic poseurs, many of them modeled after acquaintances of Faulkner in New Orleans, he continues to try out a range of stylistic approaches as he chronicles an ill-fated cruise on Lake Pontchartrain.

In this collection Fred Hobson has brought together eight of the most stimulatingessays on Absalom, essays written over a thirty-year span which approach the novel both formally and historically. Here are critical responses by Cleanth Brooks, John Irwin, Thadious Davis, and Eric Sundquist, as well as four essays published in the lastdecade. The casebook concludes with Faulkner`s own remarks on the novel, delivered in a discussion with students at the University of Virginia. What emerges from all the selections is a rich and suggestive treatment of a work which Faulkner himself called ``the best novel yet written by an American`` and a less biased critic has called ``the greatest American novel of the centuryЕ joining Moby-Dick and Huckleberry Finn at the pinnacle of American fiction.`` [detailed...]
