In Shadowtime Jim Reilly explores how the great Victorian and
Edwardian works of literature can be read in the light of current
radical historiography, which foresees the extinction not just of
art but of history itself. This is an outstanding combination of
original readings and critical survey. Shadowtime is ideal material
for anyone studying nineteenth-century realism, modernism and the
history of aesthetics.
In "Shadowtime" Jim Reilly asks questions about literature's
relation to the cherished principles of history: origination,
historical reconstruction, possession and the very concept of
Reality. Taking up Adorno's assertion about the crisis of
20th-century art and its inability to represent historical events,
Reilly searches for the roots of this problem and its articulation
within the works of Hardy, Conrad and George Eliot. Drawing on the
theories of Benjamin, Foucault, Hegel, Lukacs and Nietzsche, the
author constructs a powerful argument across the entire period of
historicism's triumph and decline.
Prince, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Toto, James Taylor, Keith
Richards—these stars and thousands of others all owe a debt of
gratitude to Rob Turner who revolutionized the electric guitar and
bass. Chasing Tone tells Rob Turner’s story from humble
beginnings rewiring his father’s transistor radio components to
founding EMG and, finally, to the world’s largest concert stages.
Jim Reilly provides a wealth of fascinating insights by weaving
together many exclusive interviews with top artists and colleagues,
including James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo of
Metallica; legendary session musician Leland Sklar; Vernon Reid of
Living Colour; Victor Wooten; Béla Fleck; Nili Brosh; Jim Root of
Slipknot; and guitar builders Mike McGuire and John Carruthers.
Along the way, Reilly not only sheds light on the history of the
electric guitar and bass and how EMG pickups forever altered their
course but also explores the elusive relationship between builder
and creator, showing how these artists found their sound. This book
takes a deep dive into the creative process while providing a
history of popular music told from a side of the stage previously
underexplored.
James Connor discovers an alien spacecraft buried along with the
remains of early human ancestors, which sets in motion a crisis of
human beliefs. The conflict between religion and science -- a
timeless debate -- fuels the story, as humans explore the greatest
questions of time: who are we, where did we come from, and what is
mankind's role in the universe? James' actions make him an
unwittingly pawn in an Evolution involving our earliest ancestors,
ancient aliens, and the future of us all.
