Anita Brookner was known for writing boring books about lonely, single women. Misreading Anita Brookner unlocks the mysteries of the famously depressed Brookner heroine by creating entirely new ways to read six Brookner novels.Drawing on Brookner’s legacy as a renowned historian of French Romantic art and on diverse intertextual sources from Charles Baudelaire to Henry James, Renée Vivien and Freud, this book argues that Brookner’s solitary twentieth-century women can also be seen as variations of queer nineteenth-century male artist archetypes. Conjuring a cast of Romantic personae including the flâneur, the dandy, the aesthete, the military man, the queer, the analysand, the degenerate and the storyteller, it illuminates clusters of nineteenth-century behaviours which help decode the lives of Brookner’s twentieth-century women. This exploration of Brookner’s ‘performative Romanticism’ exposes new depths within her outsider introverts, who are revealed as a subversive blend of the historical, the contemporary, the masculine and the feminine.

If only all these chickens would stop clucking and getting underfoot… Stylised illustrations create texture and movement, working to weave a vivid world for readers to explore.

"Understanding Feminism" provides an accessible guide to one of the most important and contested movements in progressive modern thought. Presenting feminism as a dynamic, multi-faceted and adaptive movement that has evolved in response to the changing practical and theoretical problems faced by women, the authors take a problem-oriented approach that maps the complex strands of feminist thinking in relation to women's struggles for equal recognition and rights, and freedom from oppressive constraints of sex, self-expression and autonomy. Each chapter focuses on a different cluster of concerns, demonstrating key moves in second-wave feminist thought, as well as some of the diversity in response-strategies that encompass both socio-economic and cultural-symbolic concerns. This approach not only shows how central feminist insights, theories and strategies emerge and re-emerge across different contexts, but makes clear that far from being 'over', feminism remains a vital response to the diverse issues that women (and men) find pressing and socially important.

The Italian Renaissance was a golden age for bronze sculpture, both on a grand scale-such as Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, or Cellini's Perseus-and more intimate statuettes and small-scale functional objects. Bronze, being both costly and luxurious, embodied power, authority, and eternity and emulated the classical past. Yet it was one of the easiest materials to recycle, especially at a time when the need for artillery was ever-present. Drawing on the latest research, and including some 200 superb images, The Culture of Bronze explores the material and making of bronzes and the interrelationships and collaboration between sculptor, foundry, and owner. Encompassing works made for domestic, religious, and civic environments, the book studies the symbolism of bronze, and the bronzes themselves, within their broader societal context. Features works from sculptors including Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacoisi (Antico), Benvenuto Cellini, Donatello, Adriano Fiorentino, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Giambologna, Bertoldo di Giovanni, Leone Leoni, Barthelemy Prieur, Benedetto da Rovezzano, Adriaen de Vries and Agostino Zoppo
This important study of key Anglican Benedictine Communities in the first half of the 20th century provides a vital record of how the Anglican Communion dealt with an issue that was as divisive in its day as today's disputes over sexuality and women bishops, and explores the origins of the influential Anglican Papalism movement. It was the heyday of Anglo-Catholicism in the Church of England. Religious life was flourishing for the first time since the Reformation. The first shock came when the Abbot of Caldey, a flamboyant character noted for luxurious tastes, and his monks went over to Rome. Nashdom - the great Benedictine community to which Gregory Dix belonged and, in many ways, the ultimate expression of Anglo-Catholicism - threatened to do likewise over the crisis of the Church of South India where the very idea of priestly ordination and identity was being challenged. Thanks to Archbishop William Temple the crisis was averted, the monks of Nashdom stayed and the scene was set for Anglican Papalism to enter the stage.
In the vast tapestry of human imagination, mythology, folklore, and legends intertwine to weave captivating tales that transcend time and culture. From the haunting odes and hymns echoing the deeds of gods and heroes to the enchanting melodies of short stories brimming with magic and wonder, the realm of mythos beckons. Medusa's petrifying gaze, the chilling howl of werewolves under the light of the full moon, and the majestic flight of Pegasus across the heavens are just glimpses into this rich tapestry. Journeying through the sagas of Vikings, where Valhalla awaits the brave and Valkyries guide the fallen, or the heroic feats of Hercules as he grapples with the Nemean Lion and battles the monstrous Hydra, one finds a universe teeming with adventure and marvel. From the lofty peaks of Mount Olympus, where Zeus reigns supreme alongside Hera and Athena, to the depths of Hades ruled by stern Pluto, the pantheon of gods and goddesses commands awe and reverence. Yet, beyond the realms of Greek, Norse, Celtic, and Egyptian mythology, whispers of ancient Mesopotamian epics linger, where the likes of Inanna, Shamash, and Marduk stride alongside towering ziggurats. Amidst the shimmering sands of Egypt, the divine beauty of Isis mingles with the radiant Ra and the fierce Set, while in the depths of the underworld, Osiris presides over the realm of the dead, watched over by Anubis. Across the thunderous skies of Norse mythology, Thor wields his mighty hammer Mjolnir against the cunning schemes of Loki, while Odin, the Allfather, gazes upon the world from his throne in Asgard. Amidst this pantheon of gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines arise, facing daunting challenges and embarking on epic quests, whether it be the valiant Knights pursuing dragons and rescuing maidens or the seekers of ancient treasure braving the haunted depths where ghosts and specters dwell. In every corner of the world, from the dawn of civilization to the present day, the timeless allure of mythological beasts, epic tales, and the enduring power of ancient myths continue to captivate and inspire.

INNATE INDEPENDENCERepositioning through the mind of resilienceWhat if you could cut through all the labels connected with self- esteem building, the jargon of psychology and reposition your mind in a more positive way without labels?Peta Collett worked through years of depression, eating disorders, anxiety and unhealthy behaviours without professional help, medications and emotional supports.I discovered the healing of the mind is not as complicated as people think it is. People are saturated in diagnostic labels, therapy sessions and have forgotten how resilient we are as human beings. After studying Counselling for 5 years I discovered I had been practising skills intuitively in reorganising my thoughts before learning the professional language of counselling.
