Описание: A THE TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019'The best introduction to the plays I've read, perhaps the best book on Shakespeare, full stop' Alex Preston, Observer'It makes you impatient to see or re-read the plays at once' Hilary MantelA genius and prophet whose timeless works encapsulate the human condition like no others. A writer who surpassed his contemporaries in vision, originality and literary mastery. Who wrote like an angel, putting it all so much better than anyone else.
Is this Shakespeare? Well, sort of. But it doesn't really tell us the whole truth. So much of what we say about Shakespeare is either not true, or just not relevant, deflecting us from investigating the challenges of his inconsistencies and flaws.
This electrifying new book thrives on revealing, not resolving, the ambiguities of Shakespeare's plays and their changing topicality. It introduces an intellectually, theatrically and ethically exciting writer who engages with intersectionality as much as with Ovid, with economics as much as poetry: who writes in strikingly modern ways about individual agency, privacy, politics, celebrity and sex. It takes us into a world of politicking and copy-catting, as we watch him emulating the blockbusters of Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Kyd, the Spielberg and Tarantino of their day; flirting with and skirting round the cut-throat issues of succession politics, religious upheaval and technological change.
The Shakespeare in this book poses awkward questions rather than offering bland answers, always implicating us in working out what it might mean. This is Shakespeare. And he needs your attention.

Описание: A celebration of humanity's long relationship with the book, written with remarkable wit, warmth, reverence, irreverence, erudition, and storytelling panache. Stephen King has referred to books as "uniquely portable magic," and this book is no exception. Portable Magic is a collection of encounters with books over the last millennium and more: from the 8th-century gospel buried with St. Cuthbert on the island of Lindisfarne to the Lithuanian language books smuggled into the Russian empire in the 19th century; from the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a list of books banned by the Catholic Church over three centuries to Marita, or the Folly of Love, the first work of fiction in English by an African writer (known only as A. Native) to the viral ten books that have stayed with you question that Facebook tallied across the world in 2014; from banned Lady Chatterley's Lover to the billions of copies produced of Mao's Little Red Book; from the Bay Psalm Book (the first book printed in North America) to the manuscript of the early medieval Icelandic sagas known as the Poetic Edda, repatriated from Denmark to Reykjavik in 1971. Throughout, Smith argues that the materiality of the book is inseparable from its content; its smell, weight, cover illustration, associations, and provenance can exert a powerful influence on how we read it. Smith is not so much concerned with different types of books as she is with what we do to them and what we do with them, as companions, lovers, teachers, and priests. She considers, too, religious and spiritual books and the very idea of the book as sacred; the long history of readers and owners marking their books in singular ways; the book as weapon in military and ideological conflict; patterns of ownership and gifting across cultures; the ways in which books are invested with emotional connection by different networks of readers; and how the arrangement of books on a shelf can be startlingly revelatory. Part deep history, part love story, global in its reach but grounded in the everyday, the familiar and the tactile, Portable Magic--like no other book about books--makes us look afresh at this marvelous thing that has become an indispensable part of our lives.

Описание: Practice of Place explores the role of social and participatory art practices to consider the contribution of artist and gallery. Proposing present-tense practices including collaboration, commitment, imagination, play, forgiveness, reflexivity and trust, the book looks at the potential for tactics over strategy as a mode of being in place. Texts ask how we might consider this theory in relation to the gallery as a bordered space, both physical and imagined.

Описание:
In 1856, in an opera house in Roseville, Illinois, Susan B. Anthony called for the supporters of woman suffrage to stand. The only person to rise was eight-year-old Emma Smith. And she continued to take a stand for the rest of her life. As a leader in the suffrage movement, Emma Smith DeVoe stumped across the country organizing for the cause, raising money, and helping make the West central to achieving the vote for women.
DeVoe used her feminine style to great advantage in the campaign for the vote. Rather than promoting public rallies, she encouraged women to put their energies toward influencing the votes of their fathers, brothers, and husbands. Known as the still-hunt strategy, this approach was highly successful and helped win the vote for women in Washington State in 1910. Winning the West for Women demonstrates the importance of the West in the national suffrage movement. It reveals the central role played by the National Council of Women Voters, whose members were predominantly western women, in securing the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment.
Winning the West for Women also tells a larger story of dissension and discord within the suffrage movement. Though ladylike in her courtship of male support for the cause, DeVoe often clashed with other activists who disagreed with her tactics or doubted her commitment to the movement. This fascinating biography describes the real experiences of women and their relationships as they struggled to win the right to vote.
