Charles Darwin in Cyberspace: A Novel

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionThis novel about Emma Wedgewood, wife of Charles Darwin, centers around her hallucinative mind. Her grief at the death of their child Annie is given a bizarre twist by some ergot mold on the bread she uses for her pudding, her world becomes the twentieth century. Burch presents her husband?s sympathetic letters which contain fragments from Darwin?s Expression of the Emotions In Man and Animals and contributions from other characters such as the social worker and Emma?s unusual later offspring, Ralph Waldo Business Administration. Claire Burch, whose abilities with fiction are complemented by her previous research and publications in psychiatry, experiments with narrative voice by apparently doing away with it. This technique is striking, like overhearing a conversation of strangers in the dark. Are these the imaginings of Charles Darwin?s wife, or is she someone who thinks she?s Darwin?s wife? She lives in our time or does she just thinkЕ [detailed...]

Charles Dickens (Authors in Context) (Oxford World`s Classics)

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: The Authors in Context series, a subseries of the Oxford World`s Classics series, examines the work of major authors in relation to their own times and to the present day. Combining history with lively literary discussion, each volume provides comprehensive insight into texts in their context. Charles Dickens was both a representative Victorian and an artist who is quintessentially a `Post-Romantic.` He was the most popular author of his age and the one who most vividly reflected the contradictory impulses of Victorian society, its energy and invention as much as its social and political anomalies. This book explores Dickens`s interest in the urban phenomenon, which so marks nineteenth-century culture, and it looks at the vital interconnection between his life and his art. Like his character, David Copperfield, Dickens lived his life and pursued his career `thoroughly in earnest,` but he was also a great comic writer whose work resonates well beyond his own age and continues toЕ [detailed...]

Charles Dickens and His Performing Selves: Dickens and the Public Readings

2008 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Charles Dickens had three professional careers: novelist, journalist and public Reader. That third career has seldom been given the serious attention it deserved. For the last 12 years of his life he toured Britain and America giving 2-hour readings from his work to audiences of over two thousand. These readings were highly dramatic performances in which Dickens`s great gift for mimicry enabled him to represent the looks and voices of his characters, to the point where audiences forgot they were watching Charles Dickens. His novels came alive on the platform: at the end of a reading, it seemed to many that a whole society had broken up rather than that a solitary recitalist had concluded. This book tries to recreate, in greater detail than hitherto, the sense of how those readings were performed and how they were received, how Dickens devised his stage set and tailored his books to make them into performance scripts, how he conducted his reading tours all around the country andЕ [detailed...]

Charles Garnier (Archipockets)

2003 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionCharles Garnier (Paris 1825-1898). The eclectism of this French architect enables him to be placed within the Second Imperial style. His works can be considered as archetypal examples of Neo-classical Renaissance and baroque architecture.His greatest undertaking was the Opera House in Paris (1861-1875), highly relevant for the subsequent development of architecture in the nineteenth century. The overall effect is harmonious but different styles and decorations are combined together through sculptures, frescos and marble. In 1900 the opera was moved to the Bastille and since then Garnier?s building has been home to the Paris Opera Ballet Company. The fame of this construction was such that it even managed to push other noteworthy works, such as the Vila Eilenroc (1867), into the background. [detailed...]

Charles Herrold, Inventor of Radio Broadcasting

2003 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionThe world?s first radio station still broadcasting today was invented by Charles Herrold in 1909 in San Jose, California. His accomplishment was first documented in a notarized statement written by him and published in the Electro-Importing Company?s 1910 catalog: `We have given wireless phone concerts to amateur wireless men throughout the Santa Clara Valley.` Being the first to `broadcast` radio entertainment and information to a mass audience puts him at the forefront of modern day mass communication. This biography of Charles Herrold focuses on how he used primitive technology to get on the air. Today it is a 50,000-watt station (KCBS, in San Francisco). The authors describe Herrold?s story as one of early triumph and final failure, the story of an `everyman,` an individual who was an innovator but never received recognition for his work and, as a result, died penniless. His most important work was done between 1912 and 1917, and following WorldЕ [detailed...]

Charles II and the Politics of Access

2003 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionIn an era dominated by monarchs like Louis XIV and Philip IV who used distance to generate awe, Charles II`s reputation for accessibility stands out. Most scholars enamored with anecdotes about the restored monarch`s many mistresses, his rakish companions, and his spaniels have assumed that Charles`s personality inevitably led him to open access and that such accessibility remained a constant throughout his reign. Charles II and the Politics of Access argues to the contrary that politicalconcerns, not personality, brought this king to at first favor open access, for he believed that accessibility would aid him in uniting his strife-torn nation and thereby help to secure his throne. But when Charles II`s political agenda changed so too did his policies of access: when he abandoned his goal of uniting his nation he also abandoned his commitment to accessibility. Even so he continued to use access to his person as a potent political tool, strictly regulating it in orderЕ [detailed...]

Daniel Felsenfeld
Charles Ives and Aaron Copland : A Listener`s Guide (Parallel Lives)

2004 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Amazon.comThe title of this book is a misnomer: there are no parallels between these two composers` lives except that both were Americans and musical innovators. They were as different as they could be. Copland was an open-hearted, open-minded cosmopolitan New Yorker, who, actively engaged in human and social affairs, wrote mainly accessible music and books for the people. Ives was an embittered, idealistic, secretive recluse who wrote mainly inaccessible music and books for himself while selling insurance for a living. Yet, as Daniel Felsenfeld shows in this thoughtful, enlightening book, each in his own way laid the foundation for what came to be defined as the `American` sound and spirit in music. Convinced that a composer`s work is inseparable from his life and personality, Felsenfeld divides his book into three inventively organized sections. Beginning with a brief biography and ending with a discussion of some of his subjects` striking characteristics, he shows how theirЕ [detailed...]

Charles M. Russell: The Storyteller`s Art

2004 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionWell known for his sketches, paintings, and sculptures of the Old West, Charles M. Russell (1864?1926) was also an accomplished author in the humorous genre known as `local color.` Raphael Cristy sorts Russell?s writings into four general categories: serious Indian stories, men encountering wildlife, cattle range characters, and nineteenth-century westerners facing twentieth-century challenges. Russell?s art is often misinterpreted as mere longing for a fading open-range west, but his writings tell a different story. Cristy shows how Russell amused his peers with stories that also delivered sharp observations of Euro-American suppression of Indians and humorous treatment of wilderness and range issues plus the emergenceof women and urbanization as bewildering agents of change in the modern West.

Description: When asked to organize an exhibition on a theme of his choice, the Los Angeles artist Charles Ray chose that of moral and amoral space, which he took from sculptor Alberto Giacometti`s description of one of his own works. A four dimensional being writes poetry on a field with sculptures is the title Ray gave to both the exhibition, which took place at Matthew Marks Gallery in New York, and this small, beautifully-produced volume, which accompanies it. Key artworks include Giacometti`s 1948 `Standing Woman,` an untitled stack piece by Donald Judd, an ancient Greek kouros from roughly 600 B.C., a sculpted piece of island marble from Attica, Mark di Suvero`s 1960 `Hankchampion,` Jeff Wall`s 1990 `A ventriloquist at a birthday party in October 1947,` and a series of 1969 sculptures entitled `The Fall of Man` by the American folk artist Edgar Tolson.
