Mirrors of Revolution Conflict and Political Identity in Early Modern Europe,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Hardback, X+332 p., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503528977.
From the English Civil War to the Fronde, from Masaniello to Robespierre, this book is one of the first attempts to create a European, transnational approach to the problems of the early modern age. It proposes a detailed reconstruction of the main interpretative tendencies that have developed around the English Civil War, the French Revolution, the so-called 'Seventeenth-Century Crisis': the Fronde and the Neapolitan revolt of Masaniello. And yet, Mirrors of Revolution agrees with neither the traditional social interpretations of the causes of revolt, nor with revisionist approaches that privilege the influence of discursive registers. Instead, it proposes an original interpretation of revolution based on the concept of political identity. In the terms of this analysis, revolutions do not reveal previously hidden social groups. Rather, revolutions become the central ground upon which new identities coalesce. With its usage of the Fronde and Masaniello as case-studies for extensive investigation, Mirrors of Revolution outlines a challenging and exciting reformulation of the concept, and causes, of revolution.

Gardens in Revolution Landscapes & Political Culture in France, 1760-1792
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 Hardback, Pages: 384 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:263 col. Language:English. *new. ISBN 9781915487513.
Summary France in the mid-1760s witnessed what the aphorist and garden lover the prince de Ligne hailed as ?La r volution du go t? ? the revolution of taste. A small number of dissident and philosophically minded aristocrats remade their gardens in the bizarre and eccentric manner of the English. The informality and apparent naturalism of these jardins anglais stood in marked contrast to the symmetry, regularity, and proudly assumed artifice of the jardins la fran aise, the century-old legacy of Andr Le N tre and his master Louis XIV. The English-inflected aesthetic was all the more controversial because France had just suffered humiliating defeat at the hands of England in the Seven Years? War. Landscape gardens formed part of a broader taste for English fashions, pastimes, and mindsets that was derisively termed Anglomania by traditionalists. Louis XVI opined to his brother-in-law Joseph II that anglomanie was the most pernicious threat to the well-being of France. What did it mean for the kingdom?s great dynasts to reframe their identities in the image of the nation?s rival? Were these aesthetic developments simply a question of fashion or did they portend a deeper instability and discontentment in the upper echelons of the Bourbon monarchy? How did new English-inflected settings allow aristocrats and the people to interact differently? Gardens in Revolution argues that royal, aristocratic and public gardens were catalysts in early modern political culture: settings that allowed dynasts to redefine their identities, transform their interactions with the press and the people, and in so doing contest the limited influence and autonomy afforded them within the Bourbon state. Covering the three decades from the end of the Seven Years? War to the abolition of the monarchy, it charts how estates and gardens like Marie-Antoinette?s Petit-Trianon and Saint-Cloud, the comte d?Artois? Bagatelle, or the duc d?Orl ans? Monceau and Le Raincy served as instruments of communication, self-expression and self-representation. It argues that English-inflected aesthetics were a critical means for grandees to manifest their ?affabilite ,? or openness to the public, and their dissatisfaction with the current political order.

Music and the Second Industrial Revolution

Summary The Second Industrial Revolution, new industrial societies, and growing urbanization drastically changed the life of humankind at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This volume investigates how the articulated musical world of the time was influenced by industrialization, how urbanization and new forms of circulation affected everyday life, and how new possibilities of experiencing cities and their musical entertainments came to light. In which ways did new forms of circulation influence the life of theatres and concert halls, the growing of orchestras, and the related birth of new workers' organizations? One section will be devoted to the development of the making of musical instruments, the related world of universal exhibitions, and music publishing. This volume also investigates new forms of mechanical reproduction in music, together with their many applications within society. Through the analysis of selected works, the volume also examines aesthetic perceptions of technological impact and its projections in an imaginary future.

COLOUR REVOLUTION Victorian Art, Fashion & Design
, Acc Art Books, 2023 Paperback, 256 pages, ENG. edition, 280 x 220 x 20 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour. ISBN 9781910807576.
Britain's industrial age is often perceived through a black-and-white filter as the 'funereal' age of coal pollution and bleak working class slums. This catalogue will dispel that perception, demonstrating how the industrial revolution transformed colour, and focus on the central role it played in art, culture and technology As opposed to approaches favouring a long history of colour, the catalogue focuses on the second half of the 19th century and argues that this was a crucial chromatic turn, which has been significantly ignored by prominent historians of colour and previous publications Several essays in the catalogue offer new research into key chromatic events of the period including the 1862 International Exhibition Accompanies an exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum from 21 September 2023 to 18 February 2024 Contrary to the monochrome vision of Queen Victoria's mourning dresses and the coal-polluted streets of Charles Dickens' London, Victorian Britain was, in fact, a period of new and vivid colours. The Industrial Revolution had transformed the Victorians' perception of colour and, over the course of the second half of the 19th century, it became the key signifier of modern life. Colour Revolution: Victorian Art, Fashion & Design charts the Victorians' new attitudes to colour through a multidisciplinary exploration of culture, technology, art and literature. The catalogue explores key 'chromatic' moments that inspired Victorian artists and writers to think anew about the materiality of colour. Rebelling against the bleakness of the industrial present, these figures learned from the sacred colours of the past, the sumptuous colours of the Middle East and Japan and looked forward towards the decadent colours that defined the end of the century.
ANSELM KIEFER. WEGE DER WELTWEISHEIT/ DIE FRAUEN DER REVOLUTION,
Dusseldorf, Richter Verlag, 2007 Gebunden, fadengeheftet, 220 x 275mm., 96S., farbige Abbildungen. ISBN 9783937572758.
Seit den siebziger Jahren widmet sich Anselm Kiefer in seinen riesigen Leinwanden, Holzschnitten, Fotosequenzen und den in Blei gebundenen Folianten der Aufarbeitung der europaischen Zivilisationsgeschichte, ihrer Mythen und Archetypen sowie des Verlusts der Humanitat durch die Folgen einer barbarischen deutschen Geschichte im letzten Jahrhundert. Seine materialreichen, expressiven Historienbilder sind keine narrativen Darstellungen von Ereignissen, sondern eschatologische Szenen, die an Tatorte und die mit ihnen verbundene politisch und letztendlich anthropologisch begrundete Angst erinnern. Das in dieser Publikation vorgestellte mythische Szenario der Hermannsschlacht, die in Holz geschnittenen Kopfe, sowie die Installation der Bleibetten aus dem grossen Werkzyklus Die Frauen der Revolution geben Zeugnis seiner historischen Auseinandersetzung: mit den geistigen Wurzeln des Nationalsozialismus und den beruhmten Frauen der franzosischen Revolution. Guter Zustand.
