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.
