James G. Lydon

A Jewish Archive from Old Cairo - The History of Cambridge University's Genizah Collection (Paperback): Stefan Reif A Jewish Archive from Old Cairo - The History of Cambridge University's Genizah Collection (Paperback)
Stefan Reif
R1,750 Discovery Miles 17 500 Ships in 12 - 17 working days


In this readable and intriguing study, Stefan Reif tells a number of remarkable stories. He explains how Cairo came to have its important Genizah archive, how Cambridge developed its interests in Hebraica, and how a number of colourful figures brought about the connection between the two centres. Also reliably summarised here are the importance of the Genizah material for Jewish cultural history and the manner in which its conservation, decipherment and publication have proceeded in the course of a century.
The book will serve as a helpful reference work for students and teachers of Jewish history and literature. Perhaps more importantly, it will introduce the whole topic to those with an interest in uncovering the secrets of the past but lacking the awareness that the Genizah's contents are at least as important for this purpose as the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Women Writers of the First World War: An Annotated Bibliography (Hardcover, New): Sharon Ouditt Women Writers of the First World War: An Annotated Bibliography (Hardcover, New)
Sharon Ouditt
R4,151 Discovery Miles 41 510 Ships in 12 - 17 working days


'They also serve who only stand and wait'
The idea of there being a 'women's writing' during the First World War is often dismissed. The war, the story goes, was a masculine domain, and as women did not fight, it is also assumed that they were excluded from a war experience.
This bibliography challenges that view by listing and annotating hundreds of published books, articles, memoirs, diaries and letters written by women during the First World War. Included are:
* Virginia Woolf
* Katherine Mansfield
* G.B Stern
* Brenda Girvin
* known and unknown autobiographers and diarists
* writers of pro and anti-war propaganda
* journal and magazine articles
* literary, cultural and historical criticism

The Flaming Cow - The Making of Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother (Paperback, 2nd edition): Ron Geesin The Flaming Cow - The Making of Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother (Paperback, 2nd edition)
Ron Geesin; Foreword by Nick Mason
R443 Discovery Miles 4 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

By the late 1960s, popular British prog-rock outfit Pink Floyd were experiencing a creative voltage drop, so they turned to composer Ron Geesin for help in writing their next album.The Flaming Cow offers a rare insight into the brilliant but often fraught collaboration between the band and Geesin, the result of which became known as Atom Heart Mother - the title track from the Floyd's first UK number one album. From the time drummer Nick Mason visited Geesin's damp basement flat in Notting Hill, to the last game of golf between bassist Roger Waters and Geesin, this book is an unflinching account about how one of Pink Floyd's most celebrated compositions came to life. Alongside unpublished photographs from the Abbey Road recording sessions (the only ones taken) and the subsequent performances in London and Paris, Geesin goes on to describe how the title was chosen, why he was not credited on the record, how he left Hyde Park in tears, and why the group did not much like the work. The Flaming Cow rose again, firstly in France, then in London in 2008. After 40 years Atom Heart Mother remains a much-loved record, and The Flaming Cow explores its new-found cult status that has led to it being studied for the French Baccalaureat.

A Descriptive Catalogue of the Music Collection at Burghley House, Stamford (Hardcover): Gerald Gifford A Descriptive Catalogue of the Music Collection at Burghley House, Stamford (Hardcover)
Gerald Gifford
R3,039 Discovery Miles 30 390 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This title was first published in 2002: Burghley House, Stamford, was built between 1555 and 1587 for William Cecil, Lord Burghley, the Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. The library there contains an extensive collection of manuscript and printed music dating from about 1650 to 1850, substantially formed during the latter part of the 18th century by the Ninth Earl of Exeter. The collection is given particular significance by the inclusion of several rare and in some cases apparently unique volumes. This catalogue examines the Burghley House music collection in the light of contemporary documentary evidence. The opening section describes the people who added to the collection and their musical enthusiasms. This approach brings the collection to life and also enables us to appreciate emergent trends in British music history of the period. With each entry fully described and the printed music referenced to RISM or CPM, this catalogue should form a valuable reference source for all scholars of British music from the 17th to the 19th century.

The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted.
