American Visions: The Epic History of Art in Americaby Robert HughesISBN 1860465331 (1-86046-533-1)
Softcover, Harvill Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'American Visions: The Epic History of Art in America'Book summary:Australian-born art critic Robert Hughes, author of the highly acclaimed study of modern art, The Shock of the New has made his home in the United States for the last 20 years. His latest undertaking, which he calls "a love letter to America," is his most massive: a 350-year history of art in America. Published in association with an eight-part PBS series of the same name, this is no scholarly text. With the same voracious wit and opinionated brilliance that have characterized his criticism for Time magazine, this tour-de-force spans three centuries of events, movements, and personalities that have shaped American society and its art. The reproductions are outstanding; 323 out of 365 are in rich, vivid color. Infinitely entertaining and perceptive, this superb book makes readers feel as if they have discovered a truer, hidden America. It seems certain to become one of the most important works in the art-historical canon. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Aunt Lute Anthology of U.S. Women Writers: 17th Through 19th Centuries'Book summary:[via]Every anthology constructs a tradition. Sitting directly in dialogue with the feminist literary recovery project of the past 30 years, this anthology constructs a tradition of American womens writing that is truly multiple and inclusive, bringing together womens voices from across a broad spectrum of U.S. social life. Anyone who cares about womens literature is sure to be intrigued by this anthologys radical vision of what the history of womens writing truly has been.
Neither narrowly canonical nor exclusively literary, this 1200-page anthology features womens voices as they appear in nontraditional public formats, such as trial transcripts, petitions and criminal confessions. It includes womens writing in public formats other than just print, including speeches and song lyrics. It also features expanded selections from Chicanas, working class women and antebellum Native American women, as well as thematic concerns with disability, womens sexuality, immigration and diaspora, womens suffrage, and lynching. And it offers expanded selections of plays, including temperance and minstrel plays; travel narratives; as well as a broader range of fiction from both womens magazines and literary magazines. The aim of Volume One (17th through 19th centuries) is to show when and where and how women entered into public discourse pre-20th century, and how that access varied according to race, national origin, class, education, geographical location, physical ability, etc. as well as how it varied over the two centuries. Some of these materials have not been reprinted since their original publication; many have never been available in literature or women writers anthologies.

The Compleat Angler, or the Contemplative Man's Recreationby Izaak Walton, Charles CottonISBN 1930585209 (1-930585-20-9)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Compleat Angler, or the Contemplative Man's Recreation'Book summary:For a book to stay in print for nearly 350 years, its merits must continually entice and allure. The Compleat Angler satisfies that on two counts. On the most obvious level, it remains as good a primer on fishing as any angler would want. But its most enduring distinction--what's raised an essential sporting how-to to the level of literary classic--is the one cast off by its subtitle; Izaak Walton's sometimes convoluted 17th-century grammar can still reel in our imaginations with his graceful evocations of a life free from hurly-burly in the company of friends intent on physical and moral sustenance. "He that hopes to be a good Angler must not only bring an inquiring, searching, observing wit," suggests the master, "but he must bring a large measure of hope and patience.... Doubt not but Angling will prove to be so pleasant, that it will prove to be like a virtue, a reward to itself." Just like Walton's magnificent literary catch. [via]

Hamilton: Writingsby Alexander Hamilton, Joanne B. FreemanISBN 1931082049 (1-931082-04-9)
Hardcover, Library of America
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Hamilton: Writings'Book summary:One of the most vivid, influential, and controversial figures of the American founding, Alexander Hamilton was an unusually prolific and vigorous writer. As a military aide to George Washington, forceful critic of the Articles of Confederation, persuasive proponent of ratification of the Constitution, first Secretary of the Treasury, and leader of the Federalist party, Hamilton devoted himself to the creation of a militarily and economically powerful American nation guided by a strong republican government. His public and private writings demonstrate the perceptive intelligence, confident advocacy, driving ambition, and profound concern for honor and reputation that contributed both to his rise to fame and to his tragic early death.
Arranged chronologically, Writings contains more than 170 letters, speeches, essays, reports, and memoranda written between 1769 and 1804. Included are all 51 of Hamilton's contributions to The Federalist, as well as subsequent writing calling for a broad construction of federal power under the Constitution; his famous speech to the Constitutional Convention, which gave rise to accusations that he favored monarchy; early writings supporting the Revolutionary cause and a stronger central government; his visionary reports as Treasury secretary on the public credit, a national bank, and the encouragement of American manufactures; a detailed confession of adultery made by Hamilton in order to defend himself against charges of official misconduct; and his self- destructive attack on John Adams during the 1800 campaign. An extensive selection of private letters illuminates Hamilton's complex relationship with George Washington, his deep affection for his wife and children, his mounting fears during the 1790s regarding the Jeffersonian opposition and the French Revolution, and his profound distrust of Aaron Burr. Included in an appendix are conflicting eyewitness accounts of the Hamilton-Burr duel.
Joanne Freeman is the editor. [via]More editions of Hamilton: Writings:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Les Fleurs Du Mal'Book summary:Maîtriser les connaissances et les outils nécessaires à l'étude d'une Suvre intégrale, voilà l'objectif de cette collection. L'élève doit avoir une vision synthétique de l'Suvre : connaître sa genèse et sa structure, appréhender les personnages à travers leur portrait, leur rôle et leur dimension symbolique, retenir les différents thèmes évoqués. Par ailleurs, l'ouvrage procure des informations d'ordre paratextuel qui enrichissent la culture du lecteur : détails sur la vie de l'auteur et le contexte dans lequel il s'inscrit, remarques sur son style, sur ses écrits théoriques, jugements de critiques contemporains. Enfin, le souci des auteurs est de montrer à l'élève comment ces informations peuvent être utilisées efficacement dans les exercices du bac : des études d'extraits et des sujets d'entretien sont proposés à titre d'exemples. L'intérêt de cette collection est donc de baliser chaque Suvre de sorte que l'élève dispose des éléments indispensables pour réussir l'écrit comme l'oral. L'étude n'est pas exhaustive mais elle a le mérite d'être claire et structurée. --Claire Mazurel [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Les Miserables'Book summary:C'est un tel classique qu'on a toujours l'impression de l'avoir déjà lu... ou vu : avec Michel Bouquet dans le rôle de Javert, ou bien Depardieu. Relire donc Les Misérables, publié par Victor Hugo en 1862, offre le plaisir de la reconnaissance et du recommencement. Toujours on sera emporté par la tension romanesque du livre, ses figures inoubliables, ses langues multiples - n'oublions pas que Hugo est le premier à introduire l'argot et la langue populaire dans le français écrit -, ses histoires et son temps. De la récidive malheureuse de Jean Valjean, frais libéré du bagne, à sa progressive rédemption, de l'enfance désastreuse de Cosette à son idylle avec Marius, de la figure sacrificielle de Fantine aux personnages sinistres de Thénardier et de Javert, le roman propose une belle leçon d'humanité vivante. "Je viens détruire la fatalité humaine, écrit Hugo, je condamne l'esclavage, je chasse la misère, j'enseigne l'ignorance, je traite la maladie, j'éclaire la nuit, je hais la haine. Voilà ce que je suis et voilà pourquoi j'ai fait Les Misérables." --Céline Darner [via]

The Making of New World Slavery: From the Baroque to the Modern 1492-1800by Robin BlackburnISBN 1859841953 (1-85984-195-3)
Softcover, Verso Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Making of New World Slavery: From the Baroque to the Modern 1492-1800'Book summary:At the time when European powers colonized the Americas, the institution of slavery had almost disappeared from Europe itself. Having overcome an institution widely regarded as oppressive, why did they sponsor the construction of racial slavery in their new colonies? Robin Blackburn traces European doctrines of race and slavery from medieval times to the early modern epoch, and finds that the stigmatization of the ethno-religious Other was given a callous twist by a new culture of consumption, freed from an earlier moral economy. The Making of New World Slavery argues that independent commerce, geared to burgeoning consumer markets, was the driving force behind the rise of plantation slavery. The baroque state sought - successfully - to batten on this commerce, and - unsuccessfully - to regulate slavery and race. Successive chapters of the book consider the deployment of slaves in the colonial possessions of the Portuguese, the Spanish, the Dutch, the English and the French. Each are shown to have contributed something to the eventual consolidation of racial slavery and to the plantation revolution of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is shown that plantation slavery emerged from the impulses of civil society rather than from the strategies of the individual states. Robin Blackburn argues that the organization of slave plantations placed the West on a destructive path to modernity and that greatly preferable alternatives were both proposed and rejected. Finally he shows that the surge of Atlantic trade, premised on the killing toil of the plantations, made a decisive contribution to both the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the West. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Religious Affections'Book summary:What are the distinguishing qualifications of those that are in favor with God, and entitled to his eternal rewards? . . . What is the nature of true religion? And wherein do lie the distinguishing notes of that virtue and holiness that is acceptable in the sight of God? These questions and others are addressed in Jonathan Edwards masterpiece, The Religious Affections. To Edwards, these were the most important questions man has to answer. Edwards was the most prominent preacher of Americas first Great Awakening. He witnessed true revival at his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. However, Edwards cautioned against the opposing dangers of rampant emotionalism and elitist intellectualism. He was concerned to define the nature of true religion and to distinguish between true and false revival. The result was this classic work, which will long remain one of the most penetrating and soul-searching volumes in the history of the Christian church. [via]

Shoes are not only a means of conveying status, class, and persona, but also hold the hopes, dreams, and fantasies of greater delights above. Dating from the early 18th century through to the 1880s, they show how an essentially protective covering for the foot can also be a fashion statement.More editions of Shoes and Slippers : From Snowshill, one of the World's Leading Collections of Costume and Accessories of the 18th and 19th Centuries:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Adolphe'Book summary:Préface de la troisième édition Ce n'est pas sans quelque hésitation que j'ai consenti à la réimpression de ce petit ouvrage, publié il y a dix ans. Sans la presque certitude qu'on voulait en faire une contrefaçon en Belgique, et que cette contrefaçon, comme la plupart de celles que répandent en Allemagne et qu'introduisent en France les contrefacteurs belges, serait grossie d'additions et d'interpolations auxquelles je n'aurais point eu de part, je ne me serais jamais occupé de cette anecdote, écrite dans l'unique pensée de convaincre deux ou trois amis réunis à la campagne de la possibilité de donner une sorte d'intérêt à un roman dont les personnages se réduiraient à deux, et dont la situation serait toujours la même. Une fois occupé de ce travail, j'ai voulu développer quelques autres idées qui me sont survenues et ne m'ont pas semblé sans une certaine utilité. J'ai voulu peindre le mal que font éprouver même aux cSurs arides les souffrances qu'ils causent, et cette illusion qui les porte à se croire plus légers ou plus corrompus qu'ils ne le sont. À distance, l'image de la douleur qu'on impose paraît vague et confuse, telle qu'un nuage facile à traverser ; on est encouragé par l'approbation d'une société toute factice, qui supplée aux principes par les règles et aux émotions par les convenances, et qui hait le scandale comme importun, non comme immoral, car elle accueille assez bien le vice quand le scandale ne s'y trouve pas. On pense que des liens formés sans réflexion se briseront sans peine. Mais quand on voit l'angoisse qui résulte de ces liens brisés, ce douloureux étonnement d'une âme trompée, cette défiance qui succède à une confiance si complète, et qui, forcée de se diriger contre l'être à part du reste du monde, s'étend à ce monde tout entier, cette estime refoulée sur elle-même et qui ne sait plus où se replacer, on sent alors qu'il y a quelque chose de sacré dans le cSur qui souffre, parce qu'il aime ; on découvre combien sont profondes les racines de l'affection qu'on croyait inspirer sans la partager : et si l'on surmonte ce qu'on appel la faiblesse, c'est en détruisant en soi-même tout ce qu'on a de généreux, en déchirant tout ce qu'on a de fidèle, en sacrifiant tout ce qu'on a de noble et de bon. On se relève de cette victoire, à laquelle les indifférents et les amis applaudissent, ayant frappé de mort une portion de son âme, bravé la sympathie, abusé de la faiblesse, outragé la morale en la prenant pour prétexte de la dureté ; et l'on survit à sa meilleure nature, honteux ou perverti par ce triste succès. Tel a été le tableau que j'ai voulu tracer dans Adolphe. Je ne sais si j'ai réussi ; ce qui me ferait croire au moins à un certain mérite de vérité, c'est que presque tous ceux de mes lecteurs que j'ai rencontrés m'ont parlé d'eux-mêmes comme ayant été dans la position de mon héros. Il est vrai qu'à travers les regrets qu'ils montraient de toutes les douleurs qu'ils avaient causées perçait je ne sais quelle satisfaction de fatuité ; ils aimaient à se peindre, comme ayant, de même qu'Adolphe, été poursuivis par les opiniâtres affections qu'ils avaient inspirées, et victimes de l'amour immense qu'on avait conçu pour eux. Je crois que pour la plupart ils se calomniaient, et que si leur vanité les eût laissés tranquilles, leur conscience eût pu rester en repos. Quoi qu'il en soit, tout ce qui concerne Adolphe m'est devenu fort indifférent ; je n'attache aucun prix à ce roman, et je répète que ma seule intention, en le laissant reparaître devant un public qui l'a probablement oublié, si tant est que jamais il l'ait connu, a été de déclarer que toute édition qui contiendrait autre chose que ce qui est renfermé dans celle-ci ne viendrait pas de moi, et que je n'en serais pas responsable.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Les Fleurs du Mal'Book summary:Maîtriser les connaissances et les outils nécessaires à l'étude d'une Suvre intégrale, voilà l'objectif de cette collection. L'élève doit avoir une vision synthétique de l'Suvre : connaître sa genèse et sa structure, appréhender les personnages à travers leur portrait, leur rôle et leur dimension symbolique, retenir les différents thèmes évoqués. Par ailleurs, l'ouvrage procure des informations d'ordre paratextuel qui enrichissent la culture du lecteur : détails sur la vie de l'auteur et le contexte dans lequel il s'inscrit, remarques sur son style, sur ses écrits théoriques, jugements de critiques contemporains. Enfin, le souci des auteurs est de montrer à l'élève comment ces informations peuvent être utilisées efficacement dans les exercices du bac : des études d'extraits et des sujets d'entretien sont proposés à titre d'exemples. L'intérêt de cette collection est donc de baliser chaque Suvre de sorte que l'élève dispose des éléments indispensables pour réussir l'écrit comme l'oral. L'étude n'est pas exhaustive mais elle a le mérite d'être claire et structurée. --Claire Mazurel [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Les Miserables'Book summary:1779pages. in8. Relié. C'est un tel classique qu'on a toujours l'impression de l'avoir déjà lu. ou vu : avec Michel Bouquet dans le rôle de Javert, ou bien Depardieu. Relire donc Les Misérables, publié par Victor Hugo en 1862, offre le plaisir de la reconnaissance et du recommencement. Toujours on sera emporté par la tension romanesque du livre, ses figures inoubliables, ses langues multiples - n'oublions pas que Hugo est le premier à introduire l'argot et la langue populaire dans le français écrit -, ses histoires et son temps. De la récidive malheureuse de Jean Valjean, frais libéré du bagne, à sa progressive rédemption, de l'enfance désastreuse de Cosette à son idylle avec Marius, de la figure sacrificielle de Fantine aux personnages sinistres de Thénardier et de Javert, le roman propose une belle leçon d'humanité vivante. "Je viens détruire la fatalité humaine, écrit Hugo, je condamne l'esclavage, je chasse la misère, j'enseigne l'ignorance, je traite la maladie, j'éclaire la nuit, je hais la haine. Voilà ce que je suis et voilà pourquoi j'ai fait Les Misérables. " -Céline Darner [via]
