Spenser's The Faerie Queene is one of the masterpieces of English
poetry, and certainly part of the literary pedigree that culminated
in Tolkien. However, the original text is very difficult to follow
for modern readers because of the archaic language and spelling. To
the rescue comes Mary Macleod. Her late Victorian retelling in
straightforward modern English allows one to plow through Spenser's
intricate and allegorical plot. If you are planning to read the
Faerie Queene, or want to understand the narrative but don't have
the time or patience to tangle with an epic poem in early modern
English, you've come to the right place.
Kenneth Frampton: Conversations with Daniel Talesnik presents seven
interviews with the architectural historian reflecting on the long
arc of his rich and influential career in the discipline. Spanning
Frampton’s early years as an architecture student at the
Guildford School of Art to his nearly fifty years as a professor at
Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning,
and Preservation, the interviews trace not only the development and
implications of his work but also the cultural, political, and
discursive terrain surrounding it. Here Frampton outlines the
formation of his seminal ideas of “critical regionalism” and
“tectonic culture,” and also ruminates on how he understands
his own role as a writer on architecture. The book includes an
essay by Mary McLeod, which takes stock of Frampton’s
“criticality” and his enduring impact on architectural
practice. As a whole, Kenneth Frampton: Conversations with Daniel
Talesnik is as much a portrait of a thinker as a record of the
books, buildings, and ideas that have inspired such profound
architectural thought.
A two-volume boxset facsimile of the first printing of Complexity and Contradiction paired with a compendium of new scholarship on and around Robert Venturi’s seminal treatise.
First published in 1966, this remarkable book by Robert Venturi has become an essential document in architectural literature. This two-volume boxed set presents a facsimile of the first printing of Complexity and Contradiction paired with a compendium of new scholarship on and around Venturi’s seminal treatise. Ten essays and a selection of original papers – introduced at a three-day international conference co-organized by MoMA to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the book – address diverse issues, such as the book’s relationship to Venturi’s own built oeuvre and its significance in the contemporary landscape. Together, these volumes expand the horizons of Venturi’s original ideas on creating and experiencing architecture.
The Outer Hebrides lie 40 miles to the west of mainland Scotland,
forming a barrier to the North Atlantic. Culturally distinct from
early prehistory, the islands contain a wealth of historical and
archaeological monuments, including the standing stones at
Callanish, the magnificent St Clement's church at Rodel as well as
numerous brochs, castles, Pitish houses, croft houses and
industrial and military buildings. In addition to descriptions of
key historic sites from prehistory onwards and gazetteers covering
every place of historical interest, this book also traces the
development of the modern environment and landscape of the islands,
enabling the visitor to appreciate the sites within their
historical and cultural context.
The much awaited second helping of Mary J. MacLeod's tales of
'Papavray' in the 1970s and her experiences as the island's
district nurse, culminating in her move to a very different new
life in California. Mary J.'s anecdotes of life on a remote island
in the Scottish Hebrides brim with charm, humour and common sense.
She shares heartwarming and amusing tales of crofters and ceilidhs,
pesky cows and stubborn drivers, treacherous bogs and a suspected
haunting, but also the deeply sad story of a desperate mother and a
baby's untimely death. For the district nurse, human tragedy, joy
and laughter are all in a days' work.
