F. Scott Fitzgerald on Silent Film recalibrates the celebrated author's early career and brings fresh understanding to the life of one of America's truly great literary figures. Scholars have previously focused on Fitzgerald's connection with Hollywood when he worked in Tinseltown as a screenwriter in the 1930s. However, this ground-breaking research reveals the key role that Silent Hollywood played in establishing Fitzgerald's burgeoning reputation in the early to mid-1920s. Vividly written and drawing on a wealth of new sources, this book documents Martina Mastandrea's exciting discovery of the first film ever adapted from a work by Fitzgerald.

The Book of the Courtier (Il Cortegiano), describing the behaviour of the ideal courtier (and court lady) was one of the most widely distributed books in the 16th century. It remains the definitive account of Renaissance court life. This edition, Thomas Hoby's 1561 English translation, greatly influenced the English ideal of the "gentleman." Baldesar Castiglione was a courtier at the court of Urbino, at that time the most refined and elegant of the Italian courts. Practising his principles, he counted many of the leading figures of his time as friends, and was employed on important diplomatic missions. He was a close personal friend of Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, better known as Raphael, who painted the sensitive portrait of Castiglione on the cover of this edition.

Elegant, haunting and arresting, the film and video works of Jane and Louise Wilson have attracted increasing acclaim and attention, culminating in a nomination for the 1999 Turner Prize. The twins specialise in supremely vivid evocations or a particular spirit-of-place, drawing on cinematic conventions and allusions to conjure a heightened, often uncanny atmosphere. This monograph, which features a specially commissioned essay by Jeremy Millar covers their career to date, encompassing their various short tapes and films as well as the powerful, hypnotic projection installations that have made their names.

This book has been written for all artists, teachers and aspiring students who are in crisis in the practice of their art. Readers of the original manuscript from all walks of life in the arts, including teacher-artists of the visual arts, film, drama, dance and music have indicated that this book can be read with much profit by all who consider themselves artists. As well, this book is directed to those artists who no longer view themselves as such. In a very poignant sense these are the individuals who have given up their art or performance practices. The suffering that can result from such a decision or termination can be an excruciating one whether it is consciously felt or sublimated in the most subterranean ways.

This edited collection examines the important and multi-varied role that art plays in today's diverse society. Art is linked to the worldviews and mind-sets from which it results and, as a complex and ambiguous product of culture and perception, it can only be truly understood from multiple perspectives. Recognising this, Art in Diverse Social Settings brings together contributions from a diverse range of authors - including scholars and artists from different countries, artistic languages and art statements - to give fresh perspectives on central questions such as: What purpose(s) do the arts serve in contemporary diverse and pluralistic societies? What are the links between art and citizenship in a 'glocal' perspective? Can aesthetics be compared to faith, therapy or civic resistance? Is art a feasible tool to prevent and contest social injustice, raise social consciousness and resistance in the political arena? Can art promote social inclusion? How can artistic practices contribute to community development? The book contains three parts including Part 1 with theoretical chapters, and Parts 2 and 3 that present exemplary case studies illustrating art as a medium for communication and intervention in professional organizations, public spaces and/or the community.
