Jon Harris has lived, breathed and drawn Cambridge for over 50
years. His architect's sense of structure and fabric, his
draughtsman's eye and vigorous use of pen and brush have produced
an outstanding body of work. In 1997 the Fitzwilliam Museum
honoured him with an exhibition of some 90 paintings and drawings.
A great many of his best works are published for the fi rst time in
Artist about Cambridge. They include drawings from the more than 40
sketchbooks which have been his constant companions over the past
half century. Jon Harris's text describes in compelling detail how
the images came into being. Harris's work is not a depiction of
Cambridge as the tourist might like to have it, but is rather about
his fascination with unregarded vistas, its back streets, crucial
buildings lost to the wrecking ball, and with the city's industrial
past. The artist's unrivalled knowledge and understanding of
Cambridge and its environs inform every painting and drawing,
helping you enjoy a thousand things you might otherwise miss.

The production of Wagner's operas is fiercely debated. In this
groundbreaking stage history Patrick Carnegy vividly evokes
the-often scandalous-great productions that have left their mark
not only on our understanding of Wagner but on modern theatre as a
whole. He examines the way in which Wagner himself staged his
works, showing that the composer remained dissatisfied with even
the best of his productions. After Wagner's death the scenic
challenge was taken up by the Swiss visionary Adolphe Appia, by
Gustav Mahler and Alfred Roller in Vienna, and by Otto Klemperer
and Ewald Dulberg in Berlin. In Russia the Bolsheviks reinvented
Wagner as a social revolutionary, while cinema left its indelible
imprint on the Wagnerian stage with Eisenstein's Die Walkure in
Moscow in 1940. Hitler famously appropriated Wagner for his own
ends. Patrick Carnegy unscrambles the interaction of politics and
stage production, describing how post-war German directors sought a
way to bury the uncomfortable past. The book concludes with a
critique of the iconoclastic interpretations by Patrice Chereau,
Ruth Berghaus, and Hans-Jurgen Syberberg.
