Drawing on expertise in art history, exhibition studies and
cultural studies as well as politics and international relations,
China in Australasia presents significant new perspectives on the
role of art in the cultural diplomacy of the People's Republic of
China. The book tells the forgotten story of the loan, exchange,
and gifting of Chinese art, museum exhibitions-and the use of
Chinese arts more broadly-in growing diplomatic relations with
Australia and New Zealand, from 1949 to the present day. Its scope
includes pre-modern, modern and contemporary sculpture, painting
and peasant art, as well as ancient artefacts, performance arts and
gardens. In considering the geopolitical connections opened by the
arts, this book presents new insights into some of the ways in
which China, often in conjunction with local supporters, sought to
present itself to the people of Australia and New Zealand. It also
considers how, for their part, New Zealanders and Australians
worked to expand understandings of their powerful northern
neighbour within changing political contexts. The first of its
kind, this book-length interdisciplinary study of Chinese soft
diplomacy in Australasia will be invaluable to students and
scholars of Chinese studies, cultural diplomacy, museum studies and
art history.

Gardens at the Frontier addresses broad issues of interest to
architectural historians, environmental historians, garden writers,
geographers, and other scholars. It uses different disciplinary
perspectives to explore garden history's thematic, geographical,
and methodological frontiers through a focus on gardens as sites of
cultural contact. The contributors address the extent to which
gardens inhibit or further cultural contact; the cultural
translation of garden concepts, practices and plants from one place
to another; the role of non-written sources in cultural transfer;
and which disciplines study gardens and designed landscapes, and
how and why their approaches vary. Chapters cover a range of
designed landscapes and locations, periods and approaches: medieval
Japanese roji (tea gardens); a seventeenth-century garden of
southern China; post-war Australian 'natural gardens'; iconic
twentieth-century American modernist gardens; 'international'
willow-pattern design; geology and designed landscapes; gnomes; and
landscape authorship of a public garden. Each chapter examines
transfers of cultural ideas and their physical denouement. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in the
History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
