In this edited collection focusing on nineteenth- and twentieth-century western art, scholars analyze doppelgangers, alter egos, mirror images, double portraits and other pairings, human and otherwise, appearing in a large variety of artistic media.

Without a doubt, Rev. Eddie K. Edwards touched many lives. Some of those writing tributes in this book have told me how emotional they became while traveling down memory lane. As his wife, I also was reduced to tears when I reflected upon how he impacted my life. My thoughts took me to the Bible when Makeda, The Queen of Sheba, told Solomon, upon her visit to Jerusalem, that she had heard of his fame, but after seeing it for herself she knew the half had not been told. (1 Kings 10:1-13) It is with tremendous love and respect for Rev. Edwards that I share these tributes with you and, at the same time, thank God for the opportunity to be the Covenant Partner of Rev. Eddie K. Edwards for 21 years. To God Be The Glory - Minister Mary Edwards -

She goes on to sensitively describe his passing and the inspiration that led her to continue and expand her ministry to families, women, writers, and now specifically to widows.

The gravitational pull of the earth and the challenge to resist it have long inspired artists. Like the Greek vases depicting Sisyphus's endless quest to push his boulder up a hill and the Whirlwind Lovers in Dante's Inferno, images that portray the defiance of gravity or submission to it permeate the artistic world. This collection explores the ways artists from antiquity to today use gravity and/or levity symbolically, metaphorically, and expressively. The 26 essays examine these opposing forces through analysis of such dualities as ascent and descent, weight and weightlessness, hope and despair, or life and death, and draw distinct lines between the works of art and texts of such writers and thinkers as Homer, Aristotle, Newton, Marx and Einstein. Together, they demonstrate that as our ideas about this essential force or space-time concept change, so too, do artists create new ways to represent visually the phenomena of gravity.
