        The silent morning

        Culture and memory after the Armistice

        by Edited by Trudi Tate and Kate Kennedy

        Now available in paperback, this study of the cultural impact of the Armistice of 11 November 1918 contains fourteen new essays from scholars working in literature, music, art history and military history. The Armistice brought hopes for a better future, as well as sadness, disappointment and rage. Many people in all the combatant nations asked hard questions about the purpose of the war. These questions are explored in complex and nuanced ways in the literature, music and art of the period. This book revisits the silence of the Armistice and asks how its effect was to echo into the following decades. The essays are genuinely interdisciplinary and are written in a clear, accessible style.

        J. M. W. Turner

        The making of a modern artist

        by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter

        Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;

        Allen Gewalten zum Trutz sich erhalten

        Gedichte und Bilder

        by Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Hans-Joachim Simm

        In Liedern auf die Liebe und die Freundschaft, in Hymnen auf das Unendliche und in Versen voller Einsicht und Weisheit hat Goethe das Leben bedichtet und besungen. Jede Gelegenheit konnte Anlaß sein für ein Gedicht, in freien Rhythmen oder in strengen Strophen, in Sonetten oder Epigrammen – Dichtung als Spiegel des Lebens und als Fluchtraum zugleich. Goethes Haltung zur Welt zeigen die in diesem Band versammelten Gedichte, ebenso wie seine Zeichnungen und Aquarelle. Im entschiedenen Eintreten für die Wahrheit und in ihrem Appell zur Selbstbestimmung sind sie heute noch genauso aktuell wie 1777, als die Verse für das Singspiel Lila entstanden: »Allen Gewalten / Zum Trutz sich erhalten, / Nimmer sich beugen, / Kräftig sich zeigen, / Rufet die Arme / Der Götter herbei!«
