Stretching back to antiquity, motion had been a key means of
designing and describing the physical environment. But during the
sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, individuals across Europe
increasingly designed, experienced, and described a new world of
motion: one characterized by continuous, rather than segmented,
movement. New spaces that included vistas along house interiors and
uninterrupted library reading rooms offered open expanses for
shaping sequences of social behaviour, scientists observed how the
Earth rotated around the sun, and philosophers attributed emotions
to neural vibrations in the human brain. Early Modern Spaces in
Motion examines this increased emphasis on motion with eight essays
encompassing a geographical span of Portugal to German-speaking
lands and a disciplinary range from architectural history to
English. It consequently merges longstanding strands of analysis
considering people in motion and buildings in motion to explore the
cultural historical attitudes underpinning the varied impacts of
motion in early modern Europe.

The third volume in the classic epic trilogy of parallel worlds,
admired by Tolkien and the great prototype for The Lord of the
Rings and modern fantasy fiction. E. R. Eddison was the author of
three of the most remarkable fantasies in the English language: The
Worm Ouroboros, Mistress of Mistresses and A Fish Dinner in
Memison. Linked together as separate parts of one vast romantic
epic, fans who clamoured for more were finally rewarded 13 years
after Eddison's death with the publication of the uncompleted
fourth novel, written during the dark years of the Second World
War. This new edition of The Mezentian Gate includes additional
narrative fragments of the story missing from the original 1958
edition. Together with an illuminating introduction by Eddison
scholar Paul Edmund Thomas, this volume returns Edward Lessingham
to the extravagant realm of Zimiamvia and concludes one of the most
extraordinary and influential fantasy series ever written.
