Liverpool's unique history as an international port and a cultural
melting pot has given it a character all its own. The city has
produced music that conquered the world and is home to more
historic buildings than any other British metropolis outside
London. It features two magnificent cathedrals and many world
famous museums. But beyond its renowned exterior, is an eclectic
assortment of places hidden and unknown. This deliciously offbeat
guidebook will lead you to a different Liverpool: down tunnels, up
skyscrapers, and into secret bars, speciality shops, and disused
factories. You will see Balenciaga trainers and vintage planes,
rolling bridges and disappearing statues, Liver birds and celebrity
suitcases, home-baked cakes and cast-iron churches. Stroll under
the palms in a magical glasshouse, explore a 1950s kitchen or a
museum of false teeth. Relax in a hip tea bar with over 50
varieties of tea (loose leaf naturally). Marvel at the world's most
expensive book or largest brick building (27 million bricks!). Go
underground to explore a network of mysterious tunnels or a
perfectly preserved World War II bunker. Drink in a prison cell,
picnic in a graveyard, or stay in the hotel where Winston Churchill
and Bob Dylan were guests. Think you know Liverpool? Think again!
Whether you're a long-time local, a first-time tourist, or a repeat
visitor, prepare to be charmed and intrigued by 111 eccentric and
unusual spots you'd never expect to find in the city best known for
football and the Fab Four.
This volume presents all of Voltaire's poetry for which a year of
composition is unknown. It is composed exclusively of short pieces
which provide an opportunity to study the place of shorter verse in
Voltaire's corpus. Voltaire's impromptus, odes and epistles were
often penned on specific occasions and given as gifts to friends
and acquaintances, some well known, like Madame du Chatelet, others
much more mysterious. As the author's reputation grew these short
pieces became sought-after commodities: people would save them, and
some would be copied and circulated to the wider public.

Art and Architecture of Sicily is the first book to cover the rich
artistic heritage of Sicily from prehistory up to the late 20th
century. Sicily’s strategic position in the centre of the
Mediterranean led to settlement or conquest by a succession of
different peoples – Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines,
Muslims, Normans, Germans, French, Spanish – each one leaving its
traces on Sicilian culture. The book provides a chronological
survey, each section opening with a brief historical overview which
is followed with an authoritative and engaging account of the
development of the period’s art and architecture. The leading
architects, artists and stylistic currents are all discussed and
outstanding individual buildings and works of art are analysed,
some famous, others which may be unfamiliar to readers. While
architecture is the principal starting point for the understanding
of each period, paintings and sculpture are treated in some detail;
archaeology, urban development, patronage and decorative arts are
also covered. The development of art and architecture in Sicily not
interpreted as a story of artistic conquests, but as one of
acculturation and creative transformation. The author instead
reveals that successive layering of different cultures, and the way
each one interacted with its predecessors produced art and
architecture quite distinct from anywhere else in Europe. He thus
challenges the commonly held view that Sicilian art and
architecture is provincial and derivative, merely imitating the art
of others.

This collection of essays studies the expression and diffusion of
radical ideas in Britain from the period of the English Revolution
in the mid-seventeenth century to the Romantic Revolution in the
early nineteenth century. The essays included in the volume explore
the modes of articulation and dissemination of radical ideas in the
period by focusing on actors ('radical voices') and a variety of
written texts and cultural practices ('radical ways'), ranging from
fiction, correspondence, pamphlets and newspapers to petitions
presented to Parliament and toasts raised in public. They analyse
the way these media interacted with their political, religious,
social and literary context. This volume provides an
interdisciplinary outlook on the study of early modern radicalism,
with contributions from literary scholars and historians, and uses
case studies as insights into the global picture of radical ideas.
It will be of interest to students of seventeenth- and
eighteenth-century literature and history. -- .

A fascinating account of how the railway influenced more than a
century of art in Europe and America Steam locomotives gripped the
imagination when they first appeared in 19th-century Europe and
America. Aboard these great machines, passengers traveled at faster
speeds than ever before while watching the scenery transform itself
and take on new forms. Common notions of time and space were
forever changed. Through vivid illustrations and engaging texts,
The Railway: Art in the Age of Steam captures both the fear and
excitement of early train travel as it probes the artistic response
to steam locomotion within its social setting. Featuring paintings,
photography, prints, and posters, the book includes numerous
masterpieces by 19th- and 20th-century artists, including J. M. W.
Turner, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Charles Sheeler, and Edward
Hopper. With its wide variety of themes-landscape painting, the
conquest of the West, Impressionism, issues of social class,
Modernism, the aesthetics of the machine, and environmental
concerns-this work promises an exhilarating journey for both train
and art enthusiasts and for anyone interested in one of the
industrial age's defining achievements. Published in association
with The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, and Walker Art

The personalities and careers of Victorian artists, and their
social and intellectual context, are explored in this account,
which aims to reveal how they blended foreign influences with the
native British tradition. The range of artistic production in the
Victorian age included history painting; topographical landscapes
of the Continent and the Middle East; Landseer's royal portraits
and heroic animal pictures; Pre-Raphaelite painting with its
combined naturalism and symbolism; Leighton's classical
mythologies; and Frith's popular depictions of the leisured middle
classes. Amid this great variety of styles and emphasis,
influential critics such as Ruskin dictated that art should be
morally uplifting, an orthodoxy challenged by Whistler, Sickert,
Steer and their fellows among the "London Impressionists".
