Elizabeth Robins Pennell Nineteenth-Century Pioneer of Modern Art Criticism

Elizabeth Robins Pennell Nineteenth-Century Pioneer of Modern Art Criticism

Mining various archives and newspaper repositories Elizabeth Robins Pennell Nineteenth-Century Pioneer of Modern Art Criticism provides the first full-length study of a remarkable woman and heretofore neglected art critic. Pennell a prolific 'New Art Critic' helped formulate and develop formalist methodology in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century which she applied to her mostly anonymous or pseudonymous reviews published in numerous American and British newspapers and periodicals between 1883 and 1923. A bibliography of her art criticism is included as an appendix. In addition to advocating an advanced way in which to view art Pennell used her platform to promote the work of ’new’ artists including Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas which had only recently been introduced to British audiences. In particular Pennell championed the work of James McNeill Whistler for whom she along with her husband the artist Joseph Pennell wrote a biography. Examination of her contributions to the late Victorian art world also highlights the pivotal role of criticism in the production and consumption of art in general a point which is often ignored.

Pioneer Violin Virtuose in the Early Twentieth Century Maud Powell Marie Hall and Alma Moodie: A Gendered Re-Evaluation

Pioneer Violin Virtuose in the Early Twentieth Century Maud Powell Marie Hall and Alma Moodie: A Gendered Re-Evaluation

Tatjana Goldberg reveals the extent to which gender and socially constructed identity influenced female violinists’ ‘separate but unequal’ status in a great male-dominated virtuoso lineage by focussing on the few that stood out: the American Maud Powell (1867–1920) Australian-born Alma Moodie (1898–1943) and the British Marie Hall (1884–1956). Despite breaking down traditional gender-based patriarchal social and cultural norms becoming celebrated soloists and greatly contributing towards violin works and the early recording industry (Powell and Hall) they received little historical recognition. Goldberg provides a more complete picture of their artistic achievements and the impact they had on audiences. | Pioneer Violin Virtuose in the Early Twentieth Century Maud Powell Marie Hall and Alma Moodie: A Gendered Re-Evaluation

Pionniers du droit occidental au Moyen Age

Pionniers du droit occidental au Moyen Age

'Pioneers' seems fitting to Professor Gouron to describe the jurists (civilists) of the 12th-century Latin West that were the bearers of a new science born in Bologna about 1100. Away from Bologna these pioneers were isolated scattered from Scotland to Styria or Catalonia and no more than one hundred can now be identified. These people and their manuscripts and the relationships between them are the subject of this collection the fifth in the Variorum series by André Gouron himself to be regarded as a pioneer in this field of research. This volume brings together twenty-two studies which have appeared since 1997 in widely scattered publications often hard to access along with additional notes and indexes. | Pionniers du droit occidental au Moyen Age

Foundations of Scenario Planning The Story of Pierre Wack

Foundations of Scenario Planning The Story of Pierre Wack

Pierre Wack was head of scenario planning at Royal Dutch / Shell Oil in London for just over ten years. He died in 1997. He was a pioneer of what we know today as scenario planning – an alternative and complement to strategic planning. Scenarios explore a variety of possible futures for examining decisions in organizational planning. Pierre was a unique man with interests in Indian and Japanese cultures and traditions. He travelled extensively and led a unique life that involved long periods of visiting gurus in India and extended sabbaticals in Japan. His experiences with Eastern thought no doubt shaped his ability to evolve the scenario method at Shell and as a result he was able to lead a team that foresaw the oil crises of the 1970’s and 80’s. This new volume will cover the basic context of his life timeline and attach it to the development of his thinking about scenario planning over the course of his career. After his death Wack’s materials papers and documents were collected by Napier Collyns and have recently been made available at the University of Oxford where the Pierre Wack Memorial Library has been established. These documents contain a variety of clues and stories that reveal more about who Pierre Wack was how he thought and will provide details about scenario planning that have never been seen or published. They also reveal a curious man and include a timeline written by his wife Eve which details their relationship over the course of 40 years. Written for management and business historians and researchers this book will uncover unseen contributions by a scenario planning pioneer shaped by significant events in his personal life that helped him to see the world differently. | Foundations of Scenario Planning The Story of Pierre Wack

Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern Germany

Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern Germany

Max Liebermann: Modern Art and Modern Germany is the first English-language examination of this German impressionist painter whose long life and career spanned nine decades. Through a close reading of key paintings and by a discussion of his many cultural networks across Germany and throughout Europe this study by Marion Deshmukh illuminates Liebermann’s importance as a pioneer of German modernism. Critics and admirers alike saw his art as representing aesthetic European modernism at its best. His subjects included dispassionate depictions of the rural Dutch countryside his colorful garden at the Wannsee and his many portraits of Germany’s cultural political and military elites. Liebermann was the largest collector of French Impressionism in Germany - and his cosmopolitan outlook and his art created strong antipathies towards both by political and cultural conservatives throughout his life. | Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern Germany

Siamese State Ceremonies With Supplementary Notes

Siamese State Ceremonies With Supplementary Notes

To students of Indian Culture interested in tracing the influence of India in the institutions of her Cultural Colonies as also to Anthropologists the Religious Festivals and Court Ceremonies which still remain the most characteristic features of Siamese social life offer an important field for research. Yet the subject has been little touched by scholars. Therefore a pioneer work of this nature can only be regarded as an attempt to lay a foundation for further studies and the author hopes that other students—particularly those Siamese possessed of an extensive knowledge of their own literature and customs—may be encouraged to endeavour to fill those gaps which remain in our knowledge of most of the Siamese State Ceremonies. First Published in 1995. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis an informa company. | Siamese State Ceremonies With Supplementary Notes

Thiselton on Hermeneutics The Collected Works and New Essays of Anthony Thiselton

Thiselton on Hermeneutics The Collected Works and New Essays of Anthony Thiselton

Hermeneutics is an interdisciplinary study of how we interpret texts especially biblical texts in the light of theories of understanding in philosophy meaning in literary theory and of theology. This volume brings together the seminal thought of a leading contemporary pioneer in this field. Thiselton's The Two Horizons was a classic on how horizons of biblical texts engage creatively with the horizons of the modern world. The author's later New Horizons in Hermeneutics explored still more deeply the transforming capacities of biblical texts while his massive commentary on 1 Corinthians interpreted an epistle. This volume collects many of Anthony Thiselton's more notable writings from some seven books and 70 articles to which he adds his own re-appraisals of earlier work. It uniquely expounds the thought of a major contemporary British theologian through his own words and includes his own critical assessments. | Thiselton on Hermeneutics The Collected Works and New Essays of Anthony Thiselton
