Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This volume focuses on four cultural phenomena in the Roman world
of the late Republic - the garden, a garden painting, tapestry, and
the domestic caged bird. They accept or reject a categorisation as
art in varying degrees, but they show considerable overlaps in the
ways in which they impinge on social space. The study looks,
therefore, at the borderlines between things that variously might
or might not seem to be art forms. It looks at boundaries in
another sense too. Boundaries between different social modes and
contexts are embodied and represented in the garden and paintings
of gardens, reinforced by the domestic use of decorative textile
work, and replicated in the bird cage. The boundaries thus
thematised map on to broader boundaries in the Roman house, city,
and wider world, becoming part of the framework of the citizen's
cognitive development and individual and civic identities.
Frederick Jones presents a novel analysis that uses the perspective
of cognitive development in relation to how elements of domestic
and urban visual culture and the broader world map on to each
other. His study for the first time understands the domestic caged
bird as a cultural object and uniquely brings together four
disparate cases under the umbrella of 'art'.

Gothic poetry with metaphorical references of things in the realm
of dark arts. Edgar Allen Poe was a great inspiration in these
macabre writings. There is also material inspired by the occultist
and black magick persona of Aleister Crowley. Also much more with
poems of life, death, and the ghosts who haunt sanitoriums of
Waverly Hills. There is a certain mysticism in this collection of
dark gothic poems. Black Rose, Wilted is darker than the previous
book black rose with unfortunate deaths of loved ones that impacted
the authors feelings at the time. A very moving selection with the
doom and gloom and the never ending love of a good horrific gothic
romantic collection.
This is a variety of poems about experiences I have come across in
life.
